Chapter 299 Endless Fire Domain
"Five thousand federal coins per gram." Although the clerk was puzzled that the girl did not know Yuntong, he still said it dutifully.
"Federal currency?" The girl's face froze slightly, and she suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to have the currency of Douluo Continent. However, the girl's face soon returned to normal, and then she looked at the clerk and said calmly: "Do you accept purified metals here?"
"Of course we do, but we only accept metal that has been forged a thousand times or more." The clerk nodded. They are a small branch of the Blacksmith Association. In addition to selling metal, they are also responsible for recycling metal.
But generally speaking, wouldn't it be better to go to the Blacksmith Association to sell metal? Of course, the clerk wouldn't ask this question without thinking. Maybe the girl in front of him was too lazy to go to the Blacksmith Association?
Anyway, as long as there is sales and profit, the clerk has no intention of getting to the bottom of the matter with the girl.
"Okay, then take a look at the price of this piece of metal." The girl took out a piece of blue metal from the storage soul guide.
"Spirit-forged blue copper!" Dang Hongchen looked at the metal in surprise. The metal was emitting a crystal clear blue light, and the internal patterns came alive and were operating in a regular pattern. This was the performance of spirit-forged metal.
Among rare metals, blue copper is definitely one of the most difficult to forge. Because blue copper has great activity inside, it must be constantly combed during the purification process to prevent the activity from being scattered, so it is very difficult to purify.
The spiritual forging grade blue copper is of great value!
The girl said calmly, "The spiritual forging-grade blue copper can be directly exchanged for rare metals. Please give an estimate of the price."
"Okay." The clerk immediately picked up the piece of blue copper carefully and began to observe it carefully. As a clerk in this store, he was obviously quite good at evaluating rare metals.
"This piece of blue copper is of excellent quality. If it is converted into the rare metal you just saw, you can choose any 350 pieces for exchange." The clerk quickly made an evaluation.
"Three hundred and fifty yuan!" said the girl in surprise.
"Yes." The clerk nodded. Spiritual forging metals are rare, not to mention that this is blue copper. In addition, the rare metals that the girl exchanged are mostly common goods, so the price seems very reasonable.
"This price is indeed very fair. Two friends who have come from afar need not be surprised."
At this time, Dang Hongchen on the side said that blue copper is a relatively precious type among rare metals.
Not to mention, the blue copper in front of me was of the highest quality among the spiritual forging materials. It was just a change of some common metals, and the price given by the clerk was indeed very fair.
At the same time, Dang Hongchen had already guessed the identities of the old man and the young man in front of him. They were obviously forgers, but they didn't know the common metals on the continent, and they even bartered with rare metals, which meant that they probably didn't have a lot of federal coins.
Considering the news that came some time ago, Dang Hongchen has already guessed the identities of this old and young couple. They should not be from Douluo Continent, but from another continent.
"May I ask your Excellency?"
The old man looked at Dang Hongchen in surprise. They were indeed from other continents, but they shouldn't be recognized so easily. Even the clerk beside him was just surprised that the two didn't know Yun Tong, and didn't think much about it.
He was able to quickly recognize that they were not from Douluo Continent, and that the person in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person.
Dang Hongchen said neither arrogantly nor humbly: "Hongchen family, Dang Hongchen." At the same time, his attitude became a little cold. Their Hongchen family is a member of the federation and belongs to the hawkish faction.
Because of the problem of resource scarcity on the mainland, they evolved from being neutral at the beginning to supporting the hawkish faction in launching a war on other continents.
Not to mention, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is a school that specializes in supplying talents to the Federation. Of course, his attitude towards people from other continents would not be too enthusiastic.
The old man nodded and said, "So you are a member of the Hongchen clan. My name is Chang Gongyan, and this is my young disciple Lin Yuhan. We are from Xingluo Continent, and we are here with the exchange group." As he spoke, the old man pointed to the girl beside him.
"I came to Tiandou City this time only because I heard of the reputation of the master craftsman Zhenhua, and I came here specifically to ask him for advice."
Chang Gongyan did not reveal his real purpose of coming to Tiandou City, he just said that he came to communicate with Zhenhua.
"I see." Dang Hongchen nodded. He just thought that Chang Gongyan wanted to ask Zhenhua for advice on forging. After all, it was no secret that there were no master craftsmen in the Xingluo Continent.
At this time, the clerk also packed the metals that Lin Yuhan needed and delivered them. After seeing Lin Yuhan put away the rare metals, Chang Gongyan said goodbye and hurriedly took her away.
"Strange guy?" Looking at Chang Gong Yan who said goodbye in a hurry, Dang Hongchen instinctively felt something was wrong and frowned.
"Forget it. It has nothing to do with me." Shaking his head, Dang Hongchen stopped thinking about Chang Gong Yan. The other party was a member of the exchange group. Could he dare to cause trouble in Tiandou City?
If they really dare to cause trouble, it will be easy to provoke conflicts between the two continents. With the current style of those hawkish members, if we are not careful, it may really evolve into a war between the two continents. Chang Gongyan does not seem like such an irrational person.
"Just do your job well." Dang Hongchen looked at Lu Fa. He didn't care what Chang Gongyan wanted to do. He only needed to protect Lu Fa's safety.
Lufa looked at the shop and lost interest. They were just ordinary goods. If he really wanted some precious rare metals, it would be more reliable to go to the Blacksmith Association and find Zhenhua.
With his current level of soul forging, Zhenhua can basically find him any metal he needs.
Occasionally, Zhenhua would ask him to use some special metals for soul forging, saying that although he could not soul forge at will now, he could become more familiar with the properties of different metals.
……
Lu Fa and Dang Hong Chen walked out of the shop and came to a snack street. The quaint shops on both sides of the road seemed to take people back to the past. From time to time, the aroma of snacks wafted in.
Suddenly, Lufa stopped at the door of a store. He looked at the four big words "Endless Fire Domain" above and fell silent.
At this time, Dang Hongchen, who was standing at the back, saw Lu Fa standing at the door of the store and thought he was hungry, so he suggested: "I didn't expect to find a branch of this store here. I remember you haven't eaten anything since this morning, right?
If you are hungry, you can try the food in this store. There is also a branch of this store in Mingdu. I went there last time and it tasted pretty good. If a branch can be opened in Tiandou City, I think the taste will not be too bad. "
Hearing this, Lu Fa looked at Dang Hongchen in surprise, "Teacher Dang, do you know this store?"
Dang Hongchen nodded and smiled, "Of course I know. This Endless Fire Territory is a barbecue restaurant, but it has a great background. It seems that the Spiritual Pagoda and some congressmen are behind it. It is said that the headquarters of this restaurant is located in Shrek City, and it is highly respected by the people there. After that, it took less than a year for this restaurant to open branches in most cities on the mainland.
Not only is it delicious, but the price is also not expensive. It is a rare conscientious merchant. "
“We also have a branch of this store in Mingdu. I’ve been there before and it tastes really good. The price is also cheaper than other similar barbecue restaurants.
I remember the Yuhao Grilled Fish branch in Mingdu was almost driven out of business by this store! Therefore, there is a saying circulating in Mingdu. "
"What is it?" Lufa asked curiously.
Dang Hongchen thought for a moment and said with a smile: "When the Endless Fire Region appears, there will be no barbecue within a hundred miles. Because their products are indeed good quality and cheap, whenever they open a branch, they can easily drive the surrounding barbecue restaurants out of business.
That’s why there is such a saying, how about it, it’s a rare trip to Tiandou City, even if you don’t try Yuhao grilled fish, it’s not bad to try this restaurant.”
Hearing Dang Hongchen's words, Lu Fa hurriedly shook his head. Others didn't know the details of this store, but he didn't know it either. He simply shirked the responsibility and said, "Forget it. Master Zhenhua told me that I can go to his place for dinner later."
"That's right." Dang Hongchen nodded. The food that the master craftsman Zhenhua eats must be more delicious than those in these street restaurants, and have higher nutritional value.
Next, Lufa and Dang Hongchen wandered around in other places again. Unfortunately, except for Chang Gongyan at the beginning, he had not met any other soul masters with high cultivation.
At this moment, Lufa's soul communicator rang. Lufa opened the communicator and saw that there was only a message from Zhenhua: There is something going on in the association, please come back quickly.
"Let's go back."
……
"What's going on here?"
When Lufa and Dang Hongchen returned to the Blacksmith Association, they found that the hall of the Blacksmith Association was crowded with people, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
"Hello, what happened? Why is it so busy here?"
Dang Hongchen grabbed a staff member who was passing by and asked directly. He remembered that when they came here at noon, although it was quite lively, it was not so crowded that the hall was full of people just after they left for a while, right?
Is the Forgers Association in Tiandou City so lively? Don't forgers need to accept forging tasks?
The staff member saw the badge on Dang Hongchen at a glance and immediately said respectfully: "Respected Forging Master, it is like this. Someone just came to challenge the Tiandou City Forging Association, so President Zhenhua is now dealing with the other party."
"Calling for a challenge?!" Dang Hongchen said in surprise, "Someone is coming to challenge Master Zhenhua? Where does he come from?"
The staff member patiently said, "Yes, the other party is a combination of an old and a young, but they are not here to challenge President Zhenhua. Instead, the old man's disciple, a girl around fifteen years old, is here to challenge all the blacksmiths under the age of twenty in the association."
Hearing this, Dang Hongchen raised his eyebrows. An old man and a young man? Moreover, they came to challenge the blacksmiths under the age of 20 in the association. This shows that the other party should be very confident in the blacksmithing level of his disciples, otherwise he would not come to challenge them.
Inexplicably, Dang Hongchen recalled the Chang Gong Yan he had met before. In Douluo Continent, no one would come to challenge Master Zhenhua for no reason, after all, it would be very offensive. Unless the other party didn't care at all.
At this time, the staff member continued, "Dear Forging Master, if you are interested, you can go to the center of the hall to watch. The association's forger is competing with the girl, and President Zhenhua is also there."
“Okay.” Dang Hongchen waved his hand to let the staff member leave, and then looked at Lu Fa, “Do you want to go and take a look?”
"Of course." Lufa nodded. Apparently, he had already guessed who would come to challenge the Blacksmith Association.
The two walked towards the center of the hall, which was now surrounded by blacksmiths from the association. It was obvious that the fact that someone else came to challenge them made them pay great attention and concern, and they even ignored the forging tasks for the time being.
Dang Hongchen released a little bit of soul power, cleverly pushing away the surrounding blacksmiths, leaving a passage for him and Lufa to pass through, and thus they successfully squeezed into the front row.
"Om-"
Before the two of them could see the game clearly, a buzzing sound was heard, followed by a soft blue light, which instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
On the forging table at the side, Lin Yuhan, the girl Lufa had met before, was holding a pair of spirit-forged blue copper hammers and placing them on a piece of blue copper.
In an instant, huge lightning bolts as thick as arms suddenly burst out from Lin Yuhan's body. The lightning flowed along his hands and was injected into the pair of spirit-forged blue copper hammers, and then into the blue copper metal.
The blue copper metal trembled violently, lightning swirled around it, the dazzling blue light was dazzling, and the breath of life emerged spontaneously. A vortex-shaped halo emerged around it. A low whimpering sound followed.
Metal whimpers, new life!
Spiritual forging successful!
The lightning in Lin Yuhan's body lasted for several minutes before it slowly stopped. The blue copper, which was only one-third of its original size, was emitting a crystal clear blue light. The patterns inside it came alive and operated regularly, with faint flashes of lightning inside.
At this moment, opposite Lin Yuhan, a young man who looked to be about twenty years old was also concentrating on forging a piece of blue copper.
Five minutes, ten minutes, and about twenty minutes passed.
The blue copper in front of the young man also emitted a dazzling blue light. However, compared with Lin Yuhan's, the blue copper forged by the young man was obviously a little dim, and in terms of quality, it was undoubtedly inferior to Lin Yuhan's.
Moreover, he spent more time on forging than Lin Yuhan.
"President Zhenhua, it seems that the result of this first match has been decided."
Chang Gongyan, who was standing aside, said to Zhenhua with a smile.
