Chapter 556: Ink Iron Ore

Su Chen took it. The cauldron was heavy and had a certain weight. The material was like metal but not metal, like jade but not jade. The whole cauldron was about two feet high and had a warm and transparent luster.

"This Tianyuan Purple Cauldron is a treasure of our Imperial Capital Alchemy Guild. It is said that it was used by an Alchemy Emperor hundreds of years ago. Of course, I don't know whether the rumor is true or not, but this Tianyuan Purple Cauldron is indeed a priceless cauldron. Now I give it to you. I hope you can inherit the spirit of us old guys and carry forward the alchemy of the Yunyuan Empire."

He Yan, the Alchemy King, said some words of exhortation and encouragement.

Then, the Alchemy Competition was declared over.

However, the impact of the Alchemy Competition will not be eliminated in a short time.

Su Chen's amazing performance today, the bet between Su Chen and Lin Cheng, and Lin Cheng's madness will become a topic of discussion in the streets and alleys of the Imperial Capital for a long time in the future.

Of course, the most important thing is Su Chen. In the future, his pseudonym "Chen Shu" will be known to most people in the Imperial Capital at the fastest speed.

Su Chen got the Tianyuan Purple Cauldron and walked out of the competition venue. As for the bet between him and Lin Cheng, since Lin Cheng had become a fool, Su Chen naturally did not need such a servant.

At the exit of the competition venue, Li Shitong and Gu Qianxue came to meet Su Chen, both of them were smiling.

"Congratulations, you won the first place in the alchemy competition." Li Shitong said with a smile.

"Awesome, you are worthy of being my brother Chen!" Gu Qianxue looked proud, and that look seemed to be as if she had won the championship of the alchemy competition herself.

Behind the two of them, there was a figure wearing a light yellow gauze skirt, also smiling at Su Chen, it was Xia Rongxian. It turned out that she did not help in the Rongxian Chamber of Commerce today, but came here.

"Mr. Chen, it turns out that your alchemy is so powerful..."

Xia Rongxian said with a slightly red face.

However, before she could say anything else, she was interrupted by Gu Qianxue: "This lady announces that we will go to Baozhu Tower for lunch today and have a big meal! Celebrate Brother Chen's success!"

"Let's go, I'm hungry too."

Su Chen said. He knew that Gu Qianxue was just pretending to celebrate his success, and she was really just satisfying her own appetite...

...

After having enough food and drink.

The group came out of Baozhu Tower.

Su Chen asked Li Shitong, Gu Qianxue and Xia Rongxian to go home first, and he walked alone towards Wubao Hall. He wanted to replenish some materials for cultivation.

Halfway through the journey, Su Chen met a gorgeous carriage coming from afar, and it stopped in front of Su Chen.

"Mr. Chen."

A familiar voice came from the carriage.

Then, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a square and broad black face, who greeted: "Mr. Chen, where are you going?"

Su Chen looked and saw that it was the head of the Guan family, Guan Guogong Guan Fan.

I didn't expect to meet him on the street.

"Go buy something." Su Chen said with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, get in the car. I'll give you a ride so you don't have to walk." Guan Fan ordered a guard beside him, "Old Third, help Mr. Chen get in the car."

After entering the carriage, Guan Fan asked, "Mr. Chen, is Guan Wu quite capable?"

"Commander Guan Wu is very dedicated." Su Chen smiled slightly, glanced inside the carriage, and asked, "Where is Duke Guan going?"

Guan Fan laughed, "I'm going out of town!"

"Out of town?"

Su Chen was slightly curious and asked, "What is Duke Guan going out of town for?"

"Haha, this is a long story, but Mr. Chen is one of us, so I'm not afraid to tell you."

Guan Fan said with a smile, and then leaned over and whispered something in Su Chen's ear.

"Ink iron ore?"

After hearing Guan Fan's whisper, Su Chen also raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Black iron is a rare mineral, very hard to find, and often sold at a high price in the market of the imperial capital.

And the words that Guan Guogong whispered to Su Chen just now were that Guan's scouts found a suspected black iron mine in the suburbs of the imperial capital!

This matter is of great importance, so the Guan family immediately blocked the news, and the head of the family, Guan Fan, personally led people to the black iron mine to check it out.

You know, if this black iron mine is confirmed to be true, even the royal family will be jealous.

Su Chen did not expect that Guan Fan would trust him so much and tell him such a big thing.

You know, if he revealed this matter to others a little bit, the Guan family might be in trouble.

"Guan Guogong, it happens that I know a little about the identification of black iron ore. Why don't you let me go with you? I can help a little with the identification of black iron ore."

Su Chen smiled and said, since Guan Fan trusted him so much, he didn't mind returning the favor and helping the Guan family identify whether the black iron mine was real or fake for free.

"Hmph!"

Guan
