Immortal in The Apocalypse

After the middle-aged woman left, the young man quickly put the plastic bag he brought on the long table and said, "I also want to exchange these ore for fruit."

Ji Yang opened the plastic bag and took out a piece of yellow ore. He had never seen this kind of ore and did not know whether it was valuable or not. While he was still inspecting the yellow ore, Zhu Lin took the ore from his hand again.

A few seconds later, she put the yellow ore back into the plastic bag and said, "Tan Wei, help him weigh the ore."

"All right." Tan Wei replied, taking the plastic bag and weighing it with a smaller scale.

After a few seconds, he looked at the young man and said, "A total of three kilograms of ore."

Knowing the total weight of the ore, Ji Yang looked at the young man and asked, "What fruit do you want?"

The young man pointed at a big watermelon that weighed more than fifteen kilograms and said, "I want that one."

Looking at the big watermelon pointed by the young man, Ji Yang and Tan Wei looked at Zhu Lin at the same time. Zhu Lin didn’t even raise her eyes and said, "The value of yellow ore and black ore is the same."

As soon as she said this, the young man said angrily: "Who are you to judge the value of ore? Why can that auntie get a big watermelon with a few pieces of ore, but I can’t? I have more ore than she does."

Without waiting for Zhu Lin to answer, Xiu Wu looked at the young man and said coldly: "If you don’t want to exchange the ore, then get lost."

Feeling the pressure from Xiu Wu’s cold gaze, a chill ran down the young man’s spine. Thinking that they were the only ones willing to accept his yellow ore, the young man gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I want to exchange it!"

After he said that, Ji Yang calmly handed him three oranges and said, "These three oranges weigh more than six hundred grams. Take them and get lost."

Although the young man was aggrieved, he still accepted the three oranges and left without daring to say even one word. After the young man left, Xiu Wu looked at Zhu Lin and asked, "Xiao Lin, why did you accept those ores? Do you know their values?"

Zhu Lin nodded and said, "The ice blue colored ore contains a thick ice element spiritual energy, while the yellow ore only has a faint metal element spiritual energy. This is the reason why the two ores have different values."

Hearing what she said, the eyes of the three of them lit up. Xiu Wu took a piece of ice blue colored ore and said, "Since you said that these ores contain different elements of spiritual energy, maybe we can absorb the spiritual energy in these ores to improve our ability."

After listening to his words, Zhu Lin said, "These ores are different from crystal nucleus. We cannot absorb the spiritual energy directly."

"Then what is the use of these ores if we can’t absorb the spiritual energy inside them?" Tan Wei asked disappointedly.

Looking at his disappointed expression, Zhu Lin smiled slightly and said, "I said that the spiritual energy cannot be absorbed directly, but I did not say that spiritual energy in these ores cannot be absorbed at all. Moreover, I can also use these ores to refine formation plates. With the formation plate, even the three of you can use formations in battle."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Yang’s eyes lit up and he asked, "Xiao Lin, do you have a way to absorb the spiritual energy contained inside these ores?"

Zhu Lin nodded and said with a slight smile, "Mhm. These ores are similar to spiritual stones. All we need is only the spiritual energy gathering formation."

Hearing what she said, Tan Wei became excited and said, "Then I hope we can get more ore today."

As soon as Tan Wei finished speaking, they saw Teng Bai walking over with several soldiers. Judging from his serious expression, it seemed that the base had heard the news about their purchase of ore.

"Good morning, Captain Teng. What brought you here?" Ji Yang asked with a business smile on his face.

When Teng Bai saw the fresh vegetables, fruits and staple food placed on the long table, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He looked at Ji Yang and said, "Good morning, Brother Ji. I’m just here to buy something and take a look at your stall along the way."

Hearing what he said, Tan Wei secretly rolled his eyes at Teng Bai. Only an idiot would believe what he just said. Everyone present knew that Teng Bai came to their stall because they buy ore at a higher price than the base. The people sitting up there must be very anxious, fearing that they will affect the base’s purchasing business.

Ji Yang just smiled when he heard Teng Bai’s words. Before Teng Bai could speak, they heard Wen Na’s surprised voice.

"Meng Meng, look! There are lots of fresh vegetables and fruits here!"

Meng Zhelan and Wen Na saw that Teng Bai was there and nodded to him. Then Meng Zhelan looked at Zhu Lin and said, "Elder Sister Zhu Lin, we brought the ore. Do you want to check it first?"

Zhu Lin nodded and said, "Yes. I want to see the ore first."

After Zhu Lin finished speaking, Meng Zhelan and Wen Na placed their sack on the long table. Zhu Lin and Ji Yang then looked into the bag and saw many different ores inside the sack.

Meng Zhelan scratched her head and said sheepishly: "We don’t know what ore can be used to exchange for food, so we brought everything we have."

Ji Yang looked at Zhu Lin and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Lin, is there any spiritual energy in these ores?"
