When he came to the lobby, Wu Ziqing was sitting on a grand teacher's chair. When he saw Lu Chen coming in, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "As expected, the knife was indeed made by Longshan City."
Now his attitude towards Chase Lu can be described as "intimacy".
Originally, as an elder of his school, he naturally looked down on young people like Lu Chen, but Lu Chen's performance was calm and dignified, and his conversation was calm. He didn't look like an ordinary young man, he was really 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 must be limitless.
Since he is a future master, in his capacity, he dare not offend him.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Can you find out any clues?"
He was not surprised that the knife was refined in Longshan City. After all, there is only one big city in a thousand miles around, and a refiner who can refine high-grade spiritual weapons will definitely not stay in a small town. It can only be refined in Longshan City.
"Clues, I still want to invite my brother and I to go there in person, do you have time?"
Wu Ziqing asked.
Lu Chen nodded. Of course, Wu Ziqing would not refuse the other party's request if he gave such a face.
The two walked out of the World Business Alliance, walked along the bustling street, and came to a weapon shop.
There was the sound of iron being struck inside, and a forceful heat emanated from the shop, apparently a magic weapon was being refined inside.
Lu Chen, Wu Ziqing, and Su Xuan walked in.
A burly man with a bare upper body was forging iron, and beside him was a middle-aged man in his forties who was using profound energy to control the fire.
The three of them didn't speak, they quietly watched the two men refine the magic weapon. Half an hour later, a spirit sword was released, which was a middle-grade spirit weapon.
"It turned out that it was Elder Wu Ziqing who came here, and he was so radiant. What's the job of Elder Wu?"
The middle-aged man smiled and put down the spirit sword, and asked the three of them to sit down.
Wu Ziqing's status in Longshan City is not low, and he is a celebrity, so they are familiar with each other.
He smiled and said, "Master Tan, I heard that you made this thick-backed saber yourself, right?"
Wu Ziqing said as he took out a thick back knife.
The middle-aged man said: "It is indeed refined by me. Your subordinates have come to ask me before."
Wu Ziqing said: "There is one thing I want to ask, I wonder if Master Tan remembers what the man who made the weapon looked like?
Is there anything special? "
The middle-aged man thought about it for a while, and said: "I remember that the person who came here to refine this thick-backed knife was a young man with a very fierce appearance. He came here once before, and the last time was already the second time. It took me half a month to refine this thick back knife, so I still have a deep impression on it."
Wu Ziqing's expression changed, and he said, "If that person comes again next time, please let me know right away. I'm very grateful."
Although he didn't know when the other party would come here to refine weapons again, as long as there was a possible clue, Wu Ziqing was already very satisfied.
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Elder Wu came to tell me about this in person. Naturally, it is not a trivial matter, and he must be obeyed."
Wu Ziqing said a few words of thanks, and was about to leave, but Lu Chen suddenly said: "The material for refining this thick-backed knife is not bad, it seems that it is not owned by our shop."
Lu Chen has been observing the entire weapon spectrum, and found that there are only two or three top-grade spiritual weapons in this weapon spectrum, all of which belong to the treasure level of the town store, and in terms of quality, it cannot be compared with the thick back knife.
To know whether a master craftsman can forge a good magic weapon, there are many conditions, first, the refining technique, second, the cultivation skill, and third, the refining material.
These three conditions are indispensable. Just now Lu Chen observed the "Master Tan"'s refining strength. Good refining materials are not available.
The most important thing is that Lu Chen found that this thick back knife was mixed with some rare refining materials called "earth fire fine gold". The quality has been greatly improved.
The middle-aged man was slightly surprised when he heard Lu Chen's words, and said, "Can you see the refining material of this thick-backed knife?"
He thought Lu Chen was Wu Ziqing's nephew, but now it doesn't look like it.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Master Tan doesn't 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 fine gold?"
"Earthfire fine gold?"
The middle-aged man shook his head blankly, "What material is that?"
Lu Chen frowned. The other party had never heard of earth fire fine gold, but he was right after thinking about it. Earth fire fine gold is the best material for refining weapons and can be used to refine immortal weapons. It can be seen that the earth fire fine gold is precious. Under such circumstances, it is indeed difficult to see this material.
Lu Chen could see that there was a very small trace of earth fire fine gold contained in the thick back knife, but because the amount was too small, it was meaningless to extract it. If we could find a ground fire fine gold material based on this trace of earth fire The pure gold mine, that is the real fortune.
"So, when you made this knife, what materials did you use in total?"
Lu Chen asked.
The middle-aged man replied: "The main materials are millennium black iron, red copper, cold ice stone, and hot soil."
"What is hot soil?"
Lu Chen asked.
The first three materials are very common refining materials, but he has never heard of the hot soil.
Since Lu Chen has read the secret books and geography for four months in Xuanwutang Classics Pavilion, he can be said to have a good understanding of this world, but he has never heard of such a thing as hot land.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "It seems that the little brother is also interested in refining weapons, but well, hot soil is indeed a specialty near our Longshan City, no wonder you haven't heard of it, and now those hot soil mines are controlled by Taiyuanzong, It is not easy for ordinary people to get this hot land.”
Then he gave a detailed explanation of this so-called "hot land".
It turns out that this kind of hot soil mine has been discovered in the nearby mountains. This kind of soil is intuitively named "hot soil" because its temperature is higher than that of ordinary soil and rock. Some people say that it contains the breath of Lihuo.
The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are everywhere in the world, so it is not uncommon for Lihuo to be contained in the soil.
When Lu Chen heard this, he realized that these people regarded the ore containing earth fire fine gold as hot soil.
The earth fire fine gold is the purest metal with the fire attribute between the heaven and the earth. It is used to practice fire attribute exercises, and it is almost ten thousand times stronger than the best fire-type herbs. Forging fire-type spiritual weapons is also far better than Other metals are much stronger.
Real gold is not afraid of fire, only pure gold can contain Lihuo Qi, any other metal will slowly melt under the pure Lihuo Qi, only fine gold will not.
After countless tens of thousands of years, under the action of Lihuo Qi, the pure gold will gradually turn into earth fire fine gold.
Of course, this requires an extremely special geographical environment.
And the vicinity of Longshan City happened to have such conditions, probably because it was close to the Dead Sea desert, forming such a 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 you want to slowly extract the fine gold elements, it may be a huge project, even if Lu Chen finds such a mine The hole, with his current ability, is also difficult to refine.
"You said that Taiyuanzong controlled the Hot Earth Mine?"
Lu Chen remembered the "Hunyuan One Qi Formation" used by Hu Gang's bandits. Now it seems that it may be related to Taiyuanzong.
Taiyuanzong is located three hundred miles away, and the Hunyuan Qi formation seems to only come from Taiyuanzong, and it is difficult to explain otherwise.
In other words, this group of bandits may have something to do with Taiyuanzong.
"Master Tan" nodded and said: "Yes, Taiyuanzong has completely occupied the Hot Earth Mine, and we have nothing to do. Facing such a large sect, who dares to say no?"
Chase Lu nodded. By now, he could almost identify the clues.
After leaving the weapons shop, Lu Chen told Wu Ziqing his speculation.
After Wu Ziqing heard this, his complexion changed slightly, and he said, "You mean, someone from the Taiyuan Sect ordered that group of thieves to do such a thing of killing people and seizing treasures?"
"Maybe it was just some scum of Taiyuanzong who did it."
Lu Chen said.
Taiyuanzong, as the Taoist orthodox way, even if he wants to do bad things, he will definitely not let people know about it. It is easy to give people a handle on the matter of occupying the hot land mine. The senior Taiyuanzong should not do this, and they can only be disciples of the sect Or the elders are doing something wrong. Driven by their interests, these people naturally don't care about any sect rules.
With the status of disciples of Taiyuan Sect, these people act without fear.
"Hmph, Taiyuanzong is amazing?
Is our World Business Alliance afraid of them? "
Wu Ziqing said embarrassingly, "Taiyuanzong ordered the bandits to steal our important items. This must be taken back. The chief rudder has issued an order."
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Elder Wu, Taiyuanzong is nearby after all, so it can be regarded as the real local snake here. Besides, Taiyuanzong may not be a snake, but can be regarded as a dragon. As for the world business alliance, of course its strength is not under Taiyuanzong. But your main rudder is thousands of miles away, and you can't quench your thirst if you are far away, no matter how strong your strength is, it is difficult for you to do anything in Taiyuanzong's territory."
Wu Ziqing thought for a moment, then said helplessly: "What my brother said is true."
He also had to admit that Lu Chen's words made sense.
Now, after all, the World Business Alliance has not obtained conclusive evidence of Taiyuanzong's collusion with the bandits, so it is obviously a very stupid behavior to rashly break up with Taiyuanzong.
Wu Ziqing thought for a while, and said: "Brother, our World Business Alliance has invited many people to arrest Hu Gang, but unfortunately those people are all useless, so I can only ask my brother to help investigate. If we can find out the situation, the World Business Alliance There must be a reward."
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Elder Wu, you only asked me to check people, but I can't figure out who to check, and you didn't tell me what you lost in the business alliance. How can I help you find the lost things?"
Wu Ziqing hesitated for a moment, finally sighed, and said: "If it really falls into Taiyuanzong's hands, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find this lost item. To tell the truth, my brother, what our World Business Alliance lost is a magic weapon of space. The disk of time and space is an important item to open the door of space."
