Arriving at the lobby, Wu Ziqing was sitting on an imperial chair. When he saw Lu Chen walking in, he quickly greeted him with a smile: "As expected, that sword was indeed made by Longshan City."
Now his attitude towards Lu Chen can be described as "intimate".
As an elder of his sect, he naturally looked down on young people like Lu Chen, but Lu Chen behaved calmly and magnanimously, and spoke calmly. He didn't look like an ordinary young man, and he really had the demeanor of a master.
Coupled with Lu Chen's performance in killing Hu Gang and his precise reasoning and judgment, Wu Ziqing felt that this person's future achievements would be limitless.
Since he is a future master, given his status, he does not dare to offend.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Can you find any clues?"
He was not surprised that the sword was refined in Longshan City. After all, there was only one big city, Longshan City, within a thousand miles. A weapon refiner who could refine high-grade spiritual weapons would definitely not stay in a small town, nor would it be nearby.
You can only choose to refine it in Longshan City.
"As for the clues, I still want to ask my brother and I to go there in person. Do you have time?"
Wu Ziqing asked.
Lu Chen nodded. Wu Ziqing was so generous, so of course he would not refuse the other party's request casually.
The two of them walked out of the Tianxia Merchant Alliance and walked along the bustling street to a weapons shop.
There was the sound of blacksmithing coming from inside, and a strong heat came from the shop. It was obvious that magic weapons were being refined inside.
Lu Chen, Wu Ziqing, and Su Xuan walked in.
A burly, shirtless man was forging iron, and next to him was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was using Xuan Qi to control the fire.
The three of them didn't speak, and quietly watched the two men refining the magic weapon. Half an hour later, a spiritual sword came out of the furnace. It was a medium-quality spiritual weapon.
"It turns out that Elder Wu Ziqing came here, and it's really brilliant. What does Elder Wu have to do?"
The middle-aged man put down his spiritual sword with a smile and asked the three of them to sit down.
Wu Ziqing has a high status in Longshan City and is a famous person, so they are all familiar with each other.
He smiled and said: "Master Tan, I heard that you made this thick-backed sword yourself, right?"
Wu Ziqing said as he took out a thick-backed knife.
The middle-aged man said: "It was indeed refined by me. Your subordinates have asked me about it before."
Wu Ziqing said: "I have one thing to ask. I wonder if Master Tan remembers what the person who refines weapons looks like?
Is there anything special about it?”
The middle-aged man thought back for a moment and said: "I remember that the person who came here to refine this thick-backed sword was a young man with a very fierce appearance. He had come here once before, and this was the second time.
It took me half a month to refine this thick-backed sword, so I’m still very impressed.”
Wu Ziqing's expression changed and he said: "If that person comes again next time, please inform me immediately. I will thank you very much."
Although he didn't know when the other party would come here again to refine weapons, as long as there was a possible clue, Wu Ziqing was already satisfied.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Elder Wu came to me personally to tell me this matter. It is naturally not a trivial matter, so I must obey it."
Wu Ziqing said a few words of thanks and was about to leave, but Lu Chen suddenly said: "This thick-backed sword is made from good materials, and it seems that it is not owned by our shop."
Lu Chen has been observing the entire weapon catalog and found that there are only two or three high-grade spiritual weapons in this weapon catalog, all of which are at the level of treasures, and in terms of quality, they cannot be compared with that thick-backed sword.
To know whether a master of weapon refining can refine a good magic weapon, there are many conditions required. First, the weapon refining technique, second, the cultivation skill, and third, the weapon refining materials.
These three conditions are indispensable. Just now Lu Chen observed that "Master Tan"'s weapon refining strength is nothing. I'm afraid he can only refine a middle-grade spiritual weapon. To refine a high-grade spiritual weapon, he must have a high-quality weapon.
The best refining materials are not enough.
The most important thing is that Lu Chen discovered that this thick-backed sword was mixed with some rare weapon refining materials called "Earth Fire Fine Gold". Although this material was very sparsely mixed, for the entire spiritual weapon,
The quality has been greatly improved.
When the middle-aged man heard Lu Chen's words, he looked slightly surprised and said, "Can you tell the refining materials of this thick-backed sword?"
He thought Lu Chen was Wu Ziqing's nephew, but now it doesn't seem like it.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Master Tan, there is no need to ask me how I know the material used in this knife. I just want to ask, is this knife mixed with earth fire gold?"
"Earth Fire Fine Gold?"
The middle-aged man shook his head blankly, "What kind of material is that?"
Lu Chen frowned. The other party had never heard of Earth Fire Fine Gold, but he thought it was right. Earth Fire Fine Gold is the best material for refining weapons and can be used to refine immortal weapons. This shows how precious Earth Fire Fine Gold is. Generally
Under such circumstances, it is indeed difficult to see this kind of material.
Lu Chen could see that there was a very small trace of Earth Fire Fine Gold contained in the thick-backed knife, but because the amount was too small, it was of little significance to extract it. If he could find an Earth Fire Fine Gold based on this trace of Earth Fire Fine Gold material,
A mine of pure gold is where you can truly make a fortune.
"So, what materials did you use in total when you made this knife?"
Lu Chen asked.
The middle-aged man replied: "The main materials are thousand-year black iron, red copper, ice stone, and hot earth."
"What is hot soil?"
Lu Chen asked.
The first three materials are all very common weapon refining materials, but he had never heard of them in Retu.
Since Lu Chen studied secret books and geography for four months in the Xuanwu Hall Classics Pavilion, he can be said to have a pretty good understanding of the world, but he has never heard of such a thing as hot soil.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "It seems that the little brother is also interested in weapon refining, but hot soil is indeed a specialty near our Longshan City. No wonder you haven't heard of it. Now those hot soil mines are controlled by Taiyuan Sect.
It’s not easy for ordinary people to get such hot land.”
Then he gave a detailed explanation of this so-called "hot land".
It turns out that someone had discovered this kind of hot soil mine in the nearby mountains. Because the temperature of this kind of soil is higher than that of ordinary earth and rocks, it was intuitively named "hot soil". The reason why it is hot is that some people say that it contains the smell of Lihuo.
The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth fill the heaven and earth and are everywhere, so it is not unusual for the soil to contain Li Fire.
When Lu Chen heard this, he realized that these people had regarded the ore containing earth fire gold as hot soil.
Earth Fire Fine Gold is the purest metal that contains the fire attribute between heaven and earth. It is used to practice fire attribute skills. It is simply ten thousand times stronger than the best fire-type herbal medicine. Forging fire-type spiritual weapons is also far more powerful than
Other metals are much stronger.
Real gold is not afraid of being refined by fire. Only fine gold, an element like this, can contain the Qi of Li Fire. Any other metal will slowly melt under the pure Qi of Li Fire, except fine gold.
After countless thousands of years, the fine gold will gradually turn into earth fire fine gold under the influence of the Qi of Li Fire.
Of course, this requires an extremely special geographical environment.
This condition happens to exist near Longshan City, probably because it is close to the Dead Sea Desert, creating this rare environment.
However, according to Lu Chen's judgment, the content of earth-fire fine gold contained in this hot soil may be very low. If we want to slowly extract the fine gold elements in it, it will be a huge project. Even if Lu Chen discovers such a mine,
Dong, with his current ability, is difficult to refine.
"You said that the Taiyuan Sect controls the Hot Earth Mine?"
Lu Chen thought of the "Hunyuan Yiqi Formation" used by Hu Gang's group of bandits. Now it seems that it is probably related to Taiyuan Sect.
Taiyuan Sect is located three hundred miles away nearby. The Hunyuan Yiqi formation seems to have come from Taiyuan Sect. It is difficult to explain other than that.
In other words, this group of bandits may be related to Taiyuan Sect.
"Master Tan" nodded and said: "Yes, Taiyuan Sect has completely occupied the Retu Mine. We have no choice. Facing such a large sect, who dares to say no?"
Lu Chen nodded. By now, he was almost able to identify the clues.
After leaving the weapons shop, Lu Chen told Wu Ziqing his speculation.
After Wu Ziqing heard this, his expression changed slightly and he said, "You mean, someone from the Taiyuan Sect instigated that group of thieves to do this kind of thing of killing people and seizing treasures?"
"Maybe it was just some scum from the Taiyuan Sect that did it."
Lu Chen said.
Taiyuan Sect is the righteous path of Xuanmen. Even if it wants to do bad things, it will definitely not be known to others. It is easy to give people the power to seize hot soil mines. The senior officials of Taiyuan Sect should not do this. They may only be disciples of the sect.
Or the elders are causing trouble. These people are driven by interests and naturally don't care about any sect rules.
As disciples of the Taiyuan Sect, these people act without fear.
"Hmph, Taiyuan Sect is so amazing?
Are we, the World Business Alliance, afraid of them?"
Wu Ziqing said with consternation, "The Taiyuan Sect ordered thieves to steal our important items. This must be taken back. The chief helmsman has given an order."
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Elder Wu, after all, Taiyuan Sect is nearby. It is the real local snake here. Besides, Taiyuan Sect is probably not a snake, but a dragon. As for the Tianxia Business Alliance, its strength is certainly not inferior to Taiyuan Sect.
But your commander-in-chief is thousands of miles away, and water from afar cannot quench the thirst of those near you. No matter how strong you are, you may not be able to do anything on the Taiyuan Sect's territory."
Wu Ziqing thought for a moment and said helplessly: "What I said is true."
He also had to admit that Lu Chen's words made sense.
Now, after all, the Tianxia Business Alliance has not obtained conclusive evidence that the Taiyuan Sect colluded with the bandits, so it is obviously very stupid to rashly break up with the Taiyuan Sect.
Wu Ziqing thought about it for a long time and said: "Brother, our World Business Alliance has already invited many people to arrest Hu Gang. Unfortunately, those people are all useless. We can only ask my brother to help us investigate. If we can find out the situation, the World Business Alliance will
There must be a heavy reward."
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Elder Wu, you only asked me to check people, but I can't find out who I checked. Moreover, your business alliance didn't tell me what was missing. How can I help you find the lost items?"
Wu Ziqing hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and said: "If it really falls into the hands of Taiyuan Sect, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find this lost object. To be honest, my brother, what our Tianxia Merchant Alliance lost is a space magic weapon.
The disk of time and space is an important item that opens the door to space."
