Chu Chen entered the copper market and took a closer look. Copper nuggets and copper ingots of different colors were placed on the ground.
Red tempered fire copper, black jade bronze, submerged copper, thick earthen brass, ice blue copper... Chu Chen was dazzled by the copper blocks with different colors and properties.
These copper blocks are good for casting weapons, magic weapons, and protective armor, so they are extremely expensive. The cheapest piece of copper requires dozens of spiritual stones. The good ones are extremely expensive and limitless.
Making a medicine furnace is different from making a weapon. The more expensive the copper, the better. A truly good medicine furnace must, firstly, have good thermal conductivity, allowing the alchemist to accurately control every minute of the heat. On the other hand, these copper blocks cannot have attributes.
For example, red fire copper is a copper block excavated from the bottom of volcanic lava. It is naturally rich in fire spiritual power. If cast into a weapon, it would be extremely powerful, and could even summon underground flames to assist in battle.
However, if it were cast into a medicine furnace, its fire attribute would be too strong, and the rich power of the earth's core flames would completely burn the entire medicine if not paid attention to.
Chu Chen decided to open his spiritual sense to take a look at the quality of these coppers. When he opened his spiritual sense, he found that most of the coppers were emitting gray or white gas. Some of the more famous coppers, such as Xuanyu bronze, were green, and red tempered fire copper was It's blue.
Chu Chen's eyes kept wandering and searching, and finally found a ball of purple energy!
Grey, white, green, blue, red, purple, gold, and even copper that emits purple gas.
When Chu Chen walked up to a dark copper block the size of a washbasin, purple energy kept coming out of it. It was so strong.
"Boss, how can I sell this piece of copper?"
Chu Chen discovered that this was the only piece of copper in the entire store that didn't have a price tag. Perhaps because of its ugly appearance, the boss didn't intend to sell it at all.
"This piece of copper is not for sale."
The shopkeeper of this copper shop is a young man, with a calm expression, without joy or worry, as if the shop does not belong to him, everything is done according to the procedures, and there is no room for negotiation.
He was sitting behind the counter minding his own business, dozing off. He opened his eyes for a moment, then closed them again and continued to sleep.
"Why not sell it?"
"This copper has no value and I don't know how to grow it. We don't want to cheat our customers."
Chu Chen's questioning made the young shopkeeper a little impatient. He opened his eyes and frowned, "There are so many coppers in this store, so pick something else."
"Boss, you run a shop and sell goods. I like this piece of black copper very much. Please give me a price." Of course, Chu Chen couldn't let go of this piece of fine copper with purple smoke.
"Okay, if you insist on buying it, I can explain first that there will be no returns after leaving home." The young shopkeeper looked at Chu Chen as if he were a fool, "I will give it to you at the lowest price, one pound of spiritual stone, and next to If there is a scale, you can weigh it yourself.”
Putting his hands on this piece of black copper, a strange energy suddenly spread into Chu Chen's body through his palms. He seemed to be holding "another world" the size of a basin with both hands.
The terrible thing is that this "other world" is still very heavy. When I put it on the scale, the weight came out, which was a bit overwhelming for Chu Chen, 506 pounds.
"506 spirit stones. If you want it, I'll charge you a round number. 500 spirit stones are a small profit. We don't negotiate the price of all the metals in this shop. If you are dissatisfied, you can find another shop."
The young shopkeeper glanced at Chu Chen, guessing that he would definitely not buy it after seeing the price, so he leaned against the shelf, squinting his eyes slightly and getting ready to sleep.
"Boss, I bought it."
Although there was some pain in his body, Chu Chen did not hesitate at all. Five hundred spiritual stones could be used to refine a few more elixirs, but copper stones with purple gas were rare.
The young shopkeeper who received Chu Chen's 500 spirit stones still couldn't come to his senses because he didn't know if the boy who bought the copper was a fool and he was willing to pay the money.
However, if he knew the truth about this copper stone, I'm afraid the young shopkeeper would yell that he was a fool!
After paying off all the spirit stones and putting the copper stones into the storage ring, Chu Chen left the copper shop and went to the blacksmith shop to build a medicine furnace.
As he came to Fangshi more and more times, Chu Chen became very familiar with the place. Without much effort, he entered the blacksmith shop in Fangshi.
The blacksmith shop in the sect is different from the ordinary world. Mortal blacksmith shops are mostly used to make tools such as scissors, sickles, and hoes, so they are very simple. However, the blacksmith shop in the sect specializes in making flying swords, magic weapons, armor and other protective objects. These things are the most important life-saving things for monks, so they naturally value them very much.
Therefore, the Blacksmith's Heart Shop is also one of the most wealthy shops in the city.
Each blacksmith shop is magnificent and looks like a small ancient palace. In fact, it is basically impossible to open a blacksmith shop in the Biquan Immortal Sect's sect market without a few brushes.
Arriving at the most impressive blacksmith shop in the entire city, Chu Chen walked in excitedly: "Shopkeeper, I want to build a medicine furnace!"
But I found that there were all kinds of monks in the shop, including men, women, old and young, lining up in an orderly manner.
"Sorry, there are too many customers in our store. If you need to create something, please queue up first."
A young girl in a yellow shirt with a fresh look stopped Chu Chen and pointed at the long queue.
Chu Chen could only queue up to the end of the queue without temper. A famous store is a famous store. It sells good products and naturally attracts a lot of customers. Of course, the prices must also be high-end and classy.
Chu Chen could only be thankful that he only needed a few dozen spiritual stones as an advance payment at the beginning, otherwise he would not even be qualified to queue up now that he was so cash-strapped.
An hour later…
"Brother, where did you get this fragment?" The white-haired old blacksmith frowned at the purple-gold fragment in his hand, and shook his head helplessly, "This purple-gold fragment, no matter what we use, There is no way to melt it. If it can’t be melted, how can we build it? I’m sorry for the shop’s incompetence, but you’d better ask someone else to do it.”
The biggest store in the city actually said that he was incompetent and couldn't melt it
Do you still have hope
Chu Chen, whose hair was covered with black lines, could only quietly leave the blacksmith shop with the purple gold fragment in his hand.
Although he was happy to get the fragments of the Laojun furnace, he did not expect a very important issue, that is, the fragments of the Bagua furnace have been immortal for hundreds of millions of years. With this quality alone, I am afraid that ordinary people cannot melt it!
It cannot be melted, and the fragments will always be just fragments, with no use at all except for being sharp.
This is how to do
In desperation, Chu Chen had no choice but to try and walk to another blacksmith shop. The master blacksmith of this shop, who had no customers waiting, opened the furnace without saying a word, picked up the hammer and struck, sparks flying everywhere.
The result was as expected. After exhausting all methods, the blacksmith shop still could not deform the purple gold fragment in the slightest. Seeing this scene, Chu Chen couldn't laugh or cry. He felt like he was starving while guarding the golden mountain. I finally got the treasure, but it can't be refined. What's this
