After playing around for two hours, Ning Tianchen and his party rested at a hotel in the city.
Early the next morning, everyone gathered in front of the hotel and set off in the direction of the Blacksmiths Association.
Last night, they had found out the location of the Blacksmiths Association.
In addition, they also learned about one thing - Miles, the bishop of Wuhun Hall in Gengxin City, has recently launched a massive attack on the Blacksmith Association and has the potential to annex it.
Knowing that this guy was still alive, Ning Tianchen immediately felt relieved.
If Tang San had come to Gengxin City, how could he let Miles go with his temperament.
"Recruiting the Blacksmith Association, I'm afraid we won't be able to bypass the Wuhun Palace. Tianchen, what are your plans?" Feng Xiaotian couldn't think of a better way.
Recruiting the Blacksmiths' Association would be tantamount to touching Miles' cake.
You know, Gengxin City is not a small city. The branch of Wuhun Palace here is second only to Wuhun Temple in the entire Wuhun Palace system.
Miles is a cardinal with the power of Soul Saint, and his own strength should not be underestimated.
Ning Rongrong said bitterly: "I didn't expect that under the rule of the Star Luo Empire, Wuhun Palace would be so arrogant, and no one would take care of it?"
In fact, Gengxin City has a very special status within the Star Luo Empire. It is almost equivalent to a city under the jurisdiction of the Blacksmith and is not under the jurisdiction of the Star Luo Empire.
If Wuhun Palace settles in Gengxin City, the Star Luo Empire will not care about it.
"There are no powerful soul masters in the Blacksmith Association to testify, so it's not surprising that the Wuhun Hall is used as a cash machine."
Ning Tianchen added: "In this world where the weak eat the strong, strength is the only capital for survival. Without enough strength, you will only become a lamb to be slaughtered."
Everyone deeply agreed.
The Blacksmiths Association was not far from them. After burning incense, the group walked to the Blacksmiths Association building.
This is a building that is over thirty meters tall and looks almost made of metal.
In front of the door, many men dressed as blacksmiths came in and out, and many businessmen, surrounded by blacksmiths, walked towards the interior of the blacksmiths association.
Soon, a thin man came up to them and greeted them enthusiastically: "Guys, do you need to build anything? If you need to designate a master to build it, I can help make an introduction."
This kind of person negotiates work between customers and blacksmiths, and is quite familiar with the situation of the blacksmiths' association.
Ning Tianchen threw him a few gold soul coins and asked, "Give us a brief introduction to the situation here. It's our first time here."
"Okay."
The man accepted the gold soul coin smoothly and said immediately: "Dear guests, you can call me Xiao Fuzi."
Based on his introduction, everyone had a general understanding of the Blacksmiths Association.
There are five floors here, the first floor is the general trading area.
Some ore merchants will sell low-value metal minerals here; most ordinary blacksmiths will also sell their works here, and the price will not be too high.
The second floor area is the advanced trading area.
Those who can settle on the second floor are basically master blacksmiths and merchants who sell rare minerals.
The third floor is the registration and assessment area for blacksmiths.
Ning Tianchen and others did not know much about blacksmiths, and they were not blacksmiths themselves, so they did not ask too much about it.
The fourth floor is the VIP area and the auction area. Customers who seek custom-made utensils from the master blacksmith will also be invited to the fourth floor.
In addition, the proud works of the master blacksmith will appear in the auction house, and there are even works by the master craftsman Lou Gao.
The fifth floor is a private area, which is the forging room lounge for the major blacksmith masters and master craftsmen.
"Hey, to tell you the truth, at the auction a few days ago, the Bishop of Wuhun Palace snatched the works of President Lou Gao, which caused the relationship between the Blacksmiths Association and Wuhun Palace to be extremely tense. You have also seen that the people here Traffic is not what it used to be.”
The man named Xiao Fuzi introduced to everyone with a bitter look on his face.
Through his words, everyone had a certain understanding of the Blacksmiths Association.
They need to find a way to get to the fifth floor before they have a chance to see the divine craftsman Lou Gao.
Of course, there are many informants from Wuhun Palace here, so they can't make too much noise.
"Take us to the trading area on the second floor first." Ning Tianchen said with a faint smile.
He and Ning Rongrong both possess the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Spirit and have unique treasure appraisal abilities. Even if they don't recognize the metal, they can find it by relying on their treasure appraisal ability.
……
Xiao Fuzi's movements were very smooth, and he quickly brought everyone to the second floor and introduced the metals he knew to everyone.
Ning Tianchen smiled and said: "Let's look separately to see if there is any suitable metal. We can use it as a strategic reserve when we bring it back."
As he said this, he winked at Ning Rongrong, who understood and walked away with a smile.
Not long after, Ning Tianchen and Xiao Fuzi walked to a stall.
The boss knew Xiao Fuzi and greeted him with a smile: "Hey, you're lucky, we're opening now."
Xiao Fuzi smiled and said: "This is an honored guest, so don't use your tricks."
"No way." The boss smiled heartily and greeted: "Dear guest, just tell me what you like. Everything on the table is for sale. I can get most of the things that are not on the table for you."
Ning Tianchen nodded and responded, then his eyes quickly scanned the stall.
Relying on the unique treasure appraisal ability of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, he could find out the most precious metal among them at a glance.
After scanning around, he curled his lips and said, "Is there any particularly hard metal that can withstand the attack of the Soul Saint without leaving any traces?"
"Huh?" The boss suddenly stood up from his chair and confirmed: "Guest, are you kidding me?"
"The Soul Saint is the top expert in the mainland. He can withstand the attack of such a powerful person and cannot deform. This kind of metal is at least one of the rarest meteorite irons in the world."
Seeing that Ning Tianchen didn't look like he was joking, the boss fell into thinking.
According to the other party's standards, such metal must be very valuable, and making this order is enough to make him live happily for a year.
After a moment of silence, he said: "It seems that there really is such a metal. If I remember correctly, it should be a metal like heavy silver."
"This kind of metal can only appear in the depths of the sea. It almost never appears in inland cities like ours. However, if you want, I can ask a friend to help you ask, but there is no guarantee that there will be results."
"Can you find out the mother of the deep sea silver?" Ning Tianchen asked.
The boss was startled. After calming down, he said: "Dear guest, are you not just having a whim? Shen Yin is so rare, but you still want a mother of silver?"
"If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have thought of this term. Please, Chen Yin is not black iron, and Silver Mother is not iron essence."
Ning Tianchen immediately felt relieved.
Because there happens to be a piece of deep-sea sunken silver on the shelf of this stall, but the boss doesn't know it.
I thought this was the piece that Tang San originally got from Time and Space, but I didn't expect that this guy sold it.
Judging from its rarity, such a large piece of silver mother is of inestimable value.
After a pause, the boss added: "Guest, if you really want to buy silver mother, please give me a deposit of fifty gold soul coins. I will help you keep an eye on it within the next year. Of course, there is no guarantee that you can get it. The money will not be refunded.”
Ning Tianchen waved his hand, "No need, I won't stay here long."
Having said that, he prepared to leave.
"Hey, don't leave. Look at other metals. The iron essence I just mentioned is also a metal with good hardness, and these tungsten steels are also good."
Xiao Fuzi also persuaded him: "Dear guest, would you like to take a look again?"
After all, if the transaction can be concluded, he can also get a certain amount of share from the merchant. Ning Tianchen turned around and reluctantly said, "Okay, let's see again."
It has to be said that the metals sold at the stalls on the second floor are not at the same level as those on the first floor.
Looking carefully, there are many kinds of metals on the stall that are extremely difficult to see outside.
"Five tons of iron essence, ten tons of pyrite, and some other metals, how about 10,000 gold soul coins for you?" The boss said with a smile, "If you are inconvenient to transport, we also provide transportation services here, but you have to Add some money.”
Ning Tianchen took out the golden soul card from the soul guide and threw it into the opponent's hand.
Metals like iron essence can be used to make barrels for large-caliber thermal weapons, so it doesn't hurt to have more.
His fingers lightly touched the soul guide, and the metal was absorbed into the soul guide.
He continued: "I won't bargain with you anymore. How about just grabbing a few small pieces of metal from your stall?"
"No problem." The boss said grandly.
After all, the transaction volume of ten thousand gold soul coins is not a small amount.
Even a master blacksmith would not buy so much metal in one go. Customers with greater demand will not come to these retailers.
Ning Tianchen casually picked up two pieces of metal from the stall, and the piece of silver was among them.
After wandering for another half an hour, everyone gathered in the rest area on the second floor.
"Brother Tianchen, look." Ning Rongrong touched it lightly with his fingers, and a large amount of metal appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
After Xiao Fuzi looked at it, he exclaimed: "Oh my god, these are rare metals. They are worth at least hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins."
"Well done." Ning Tianchen said with a smile.
Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Xiao Fuzi pointed at one of the crystals and said, "Dear guests, you seem to have been deceived. This is just an ordinary crystal of extremely poor quality. Logically speaking, it should not appear in the trading area on the second floor."
< br>
In other respects, Ning Tianchen believed that Ning Rongrong would be deceived, but it was completely impossible for something with such a fixed value.
Not to mention, with his treasure appraisal ability, he also felt that this crystal was a treasure.
"This is a gift from the boss. Rongrong didn't spend any money." Ning Rongrong said with a bright smile.
From this point of view, this is a big mistake.
Ning Tianchen took the crystal and looked at it carefully.
If Wuhun's perception hadn't told him that this was a treasure, he might have thought it was inconspicuous.
Ning Tianchen took out a small knife from the soul guide and gently scraped off the rock adhering to the surface of the crystal.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows.
In order not to damage the surface of the crystal, soul power flowed from his fingertips to protect the crystal from damage.
But he didn't expect that his soul power would be absorbed by the crystal.
There are no crystals on the mainland that absorb soul power. They are usually crystal balls used to test the innate soul power when the martial soul awakens.
Although this kind of crystal is rare, it is not considered a rarity, and it is unlikely that it will attract the attention of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Spirit.
"There is something strange about this crystal."
Everyone came together.
Xiao Fuzi didn't notice anything strange, he said: "If you give it for free, this crystal ball is not bad."
"Wrong."
Feng Xiaotian felt that there was a subtle flow of soul power around the crystal ball.
He placed his hand on the crystal, and his soul power flowed into the crystal along his fingertips.
"This crystal can store soul power!"
Everyone's heart trembled.
The reason why the soul guide technology was lost is ultimately because no one could make the energy device.
This crystal has the ability to store soul power, and an offensive soul guide can be made directly based on it.
"This is the Condensation Crystal."
Behind them, there was a sound.
Turning around, the person who came was a burly man with extremely wide palms and thick calluses.
This person's identity is undoubtedly that of a blacksmith.
"Master Siyu." Xiao Fuzi quickly bowed and saluted.
Siyu?
Ning Tianchen thought of this person's name.
The other party seemed to be one of Lou Gao's disciples.
Siyu took a step forward, hugged the crowd and said, "Guys, can you part your love and sell this crystal to me? Of course, in addition to money, I will also help you create an additional item, how about it?" < br>
"Master Siyu is a master blacksmith and the apprentice of President Lou Gao. No matter how much people spend money, they can't get him to take action."
Xiao Fuzi explained to everyone in a low voice.
Ning Tianchen shook his head and refused: "I'm sorry, Master Siyu, I don't think you can give me a bargaining chip to make my heart beat."
This crystal has a lot to do with it.
The Qibao Glazed Sect has the blueprints for making soul guides, but suffers from the lack of technology to make soul guides.
With this crystal, the most critical energy problem can be solved, and maybe one of the soul guides in the drawings can be released ahead of schedule.
Siyu was not annoyed. He looked at the rare metals piled up into a hill and said with a smile: "Of course, with the status of these people, there must be no shortage of money."
"If I buy this crystal, I plan to give it to the teacher. I wonder if some of you can part with it for the sake of the teacher?"
Ning Tianchen smiled in his heart.
It really takes no effort at all.
"Then Master Siyu, can you take us to meet the master craftsman Lou Gao? When the time comes, I will definitely offer this crystal with both hands."
Siyu thought for a while and said: "It's not impossible. But the teacher has a weird temper, so you'd better not anger him. If you need the teacher's help in making some items, don't be too tough."
Ning Tianchen and others nodded seriously.
Xiao Fuzi walked away wisely.
When putting away the metal on the ground, Siyu pointed at a piece of metal and said with a smile: "This is a fart, not a ferrous metal. Similar to pyrite, it is not real gold. If you spend more than ten gold soul coins, you will be afraid." The probability is that he was cheated.”
Ning Tianchen glanced at the piece of metal, and it was indeed what the other party said.
Judging from the appearance alone, it is indeed difficult to tell whether it is ferrous or not.
Chen Huayu scratched his head and said in embarrassment and anger: "That damn guy actually cheated me of two hundred gold soul coins. Let's go back to him to settle the score."
"I will reimburse you up to ten gold soul coins." Ning Tianchen said leisurely.
Chen Huayu said with a mournful face: "No, boss, I've been cheated." (End of Chapter)
