Chapter 190 Black Furnace
You can’t move around in Tianhe Market without spirit stones, but at the same time, if you have enough spirit stones, you can buy most things here!
For example, intelligence!
Li Qing asked around and finally got some information about the poor stall owner from an old monk who had been stationed in Tianhe Market for many years.
Of course, this would cost spirit stones.
Li Qing handed two spirit stones to the old monk in front of him. The old man, who had several missing teeth, took the spirit stones and immediately wiped them on his clothes.
"Hey, little brother, the person you are asking about should be the surviving son of the Meng family, right?"
"That person is called Meng Fan. He was also a descendant of a family of immortal cultivators in his early years, but later the foundation-building cultivator of the Meng family died in a war more than ten years ago."
"If a family loses a foundation-building cultivator, it will have serious consequences."
"It just so happens that the Meng family has an old grudge with the Shi family of Yaowangling. Later, the family was destroyed, and the Meng family was left with only this one child."
"The kid named Meng Fan stayed in Tianhe Market all day, selling some books or secret techniques from the family to make a living."
"But Meng Fan will naturally not let go of such a great hatred of the destruction of his family. In the past few years, he has been seen looking for a weapon refiner to repair the broken top-grade magic weapon in the family. This is not a big secret in the market."
Is that so!
After listening to this, many of Li Qing's doubts were finally solved.
No wonder he saw that the books or secrets sold by the stall owner yesterday did not look like something that a casual cultivator could possess, and there was actually such a secret in it.
"After so many years, has the surviving son of the Meng family not found a refiner willing to help him repair the magic weapon?" Li Qing asked casually.
The toothless old man shook his head repeatedly: "The refiners with a little fame in the market have all been visited by the Shi family of Yaowangling and stopped by various means."
"As for the other refiners he found over the years, I guess they don't have that ability."
Li Qing was silent for a while, and then decided to suppress this matter in his heart.
To repair the best magic weapon, at least you have to have the ability to refine the best magic weapon. He doesn't need to worry about these things in the short term.
He is only a small middle-stage Qi Refining now, and he has never shown his skill of refining in front of outsiders. Naturally, the Shi family will not target him because of this.
After so many years, it is estimated that the Shi family himself can't remember Meng Fan very clearly.
Next, Li Qing wanted to inquire about the spiritual wood.
"Father, I want to buy some spiritual wood or spiritual wood seeds. Do you know where to buy them in Tianhe Market?"
The toothless old man smiled and raised a finger, asking Li Qing for another spiritual stone.
In response, Li Qing had no choice but to take out another spiritual stone and give it to the other party.
After receiving the spirit stone, the toothless old man's expression immediately became joyful. He said:
"Spiritual wood is indeed rare. Some old spiritual woods have been planted in the spiritual veins of the family by many major forces."
"But it is not really extinct. Every three years, Tianhe Market will hold a grand auction. At that time, even some cultivators in the foundation-building period will come to participate."
"At the auction, there are all kinds of things, even foundation-building pills are sold. As for the spiritual wood you want, there will definitely be some."
"Besides that, you can only try your luck in some family shops or Wanbao Building. In addition, spiritual woods are planted in the clan lands of the Liu family or the Shi family. Occasionally, they will take out some branches or spiritual wood seeds to sell."
Auction in Tianhe Market?
It should be held by Tianhe Sect. It would be strange if there were no auctions in such a prosperous and wealthy market.
Li Qing nodded and asked again: "Old man, how long will it take until the next auction?"
"I'll tell you this question for free. The last auction just ended more than half a year ago." The toothless old man replied.
At this point, Li Qing no longer had any more doubts in his heart.
This time he came to Tianhe Market, and the harvest was already quite rich. Next, Li Qing planned to stay for two or three days, and then immediately return to the Liu family to continue to accumulate some spiritual stones.
Wanbao Building!
When Li Qing saw the three gold-plated characters on the magnificent building in front of him, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
You know, in the world of cultivating immortals, the names of some shops are actually linked to the energy of the forces behind them.
This is not like advertising in the previous life, the shop name is as loud as it can be.
In the world of cultivating immortals, if you are not strong enough and dare to take such a grand name, it is not a good thing.
"Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, it turns out that this Chamber of Commerce is its territory"
Li Qing murmured. Even a cultivator like him who had just left the status of a rookie had heard of the name of this Chamber of Commerce, which showed how strong this Chamber of Commerce was.
"It is said that Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has set foot in the entire Qingling Region. Even a great sect like Tianhe Sect is unwilling to offend it easily. It is really amazing."
Li Qing sighed in his heart and then walked in.
It was not that he planned to buy anything. This time he came in just to see the world and increase his knowledge.
Of course, if he came across something that was priced right and Li Qing wanted it very much, he would naturally take it.
As soon as he walked in, he saw a dazzling golden splendor.
The walls around seemed to be made of pure gold, and the light reflected was actually a bit dazzling.
In the front, there was a long crystal table. Behind the long table stood a female monk with a beautiful face and outstanding figure.
On both sides, there were two stairs leading to the second floor, and even the stairs seemed to be paved with gold bricks.
Coming to such a magnificent place, even if he was a martial arts master who had once ventured into the secular palace alone, he couldn't help but feel a little cramped at this moment.
Just because there was a hidden and powerful aura looming on the second floor that was out of sight.
Foundation Establishment Period!
This Wanbao Chamber of Commerce actually sent a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Period here to take charge. It's really powerful!
After walking around twice, Li Qing finally understood why the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce sent a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Period to take charge here.
Three irregular crystals with various colors of luster were hung on the top of a wall.
It turned out to be the crystal core of a second-level monster, which can be used as the main material for refining foundation-building pills!
Hiss!
Li Qing couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Is this level of treasure only worthy of appearing on the first floor?
Then on the second floor, could there be the inner pill of a third-level monster?
Li Qing didn't dare to think about it any further. He was already shocked by the strength of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce.
After Li Qing strolled alone for a while, after looking at other goods, his mood finally calmed down a little.
It's not that every item is as precious as the crystal core of a second-level monster. There are still many items that he can afford with his financial resources.
At this time, Wanbao Tower sent a female cultivator to receive Li Qing.
"Fellow Daoist, is there anything I can help you with?"
At this time, Li Qing was looking at several ancient-style alchemy cauldrons. He put on a calm attitude, then nodded and said, "I want to see the refining furnace in your building."
It is common sense in the world of immortal cultivation to use cauldrons for alchemy and furnaces for refining.
Poor Li Qing has been a blacksmith for so many years. Even though he is now a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining, he still uses ordinary forging furnaces to calcine spiritual materials on weekdays.
You should know that many spiritual materials in the world of immortal cultivation require some special flames if they are to be melted.
For example, the most well-known earth fire, or the innate true fire that can be activated by some foundation-building cultivators, and the demon fire that can be spewed out by some fire-attributed monsters, and even some magical fires born between heaven and earth.
And these flames have a common feature, that is, the temperature is extremely high, and ordinary forging furnaces can't bear it at all.
This requires some forging furnaces with the quality equivalent to magic tools, and only this kind of furnace can withstand the calcination of these flames.
As Li Qing's strength grew, his weapon-refining skills became more and more sophisticated. In the future, the level of refining magic tools would also increase, and a higher-quality forging furnace would always be used.
Think about the furnace that accompanied him from the secular world to the world of immortal cultivation. It is now full of cracks. If it is used a few more times, there is a risk of explosion in the future.
The female cultivator who received him immediately took Li Qing to the place where the refining furnaces were stored in Wanbao Building.
"This furnace is called the Purple Heart Furnace. It was made by a master of refining in our building. It is made of the concentrate of the purple-veined copper ore, the purple heart copper!"
Li Qing touched the furnace with his hand. The style was very simple, and there were secret spiritual patterns looming in the furnace.
"How many spiritual stones does this purple heart furnace cost?" Li Qing asked tentatively.
However, the tall female cultivator said a number that made Li Qing dumbfounded.
"Eight hundred and sixty spiritual stones, this purple heart furnace can not only be used to refine magic tools, but it is also a medium-grade magic tool that can be used to fight against enemies!"
"And the purple heart furnace itself can use spiritual power to drive flames. In addition, it can also allow the refiner to better control the temperature!"
"What do you think, fellow Daoist? This price is already very fair!"
It's so expensive! It's much more expensive than many medium-grade magic tools.
Li Qing was secretly shocked. Although he was not unable to take out so many spiritual stones, he always felt that this forging furnace was a bit extravagant for him.
"Ahem, let's take a look at other forging furnaces." Li Qing coughed and pretended to be short of money.
The female cultivator who received him was very professional. She smiled slightly and patiently introduced other furnaces.
"Zhenshan Furnace, six hundred and twenty spiritual stones"
"Lihuo Furnace"
"."
It is worthy of Wanbao Tower. There are so many kinds of forging furnaces for refining tools alone, and the prices are not cheap.
Finally, as if she saw that Li Qing didn't have many spirit stones, the tall and graceful female cultivator twisted her waist and took Li Qing to see the last forge.
"Black furnace, this forge was used by a refiner in our building. It can withstand the burning of most flames such as the innate true fire, but it has no offensive ability. It is just an ordinary forging furnace."
"But its characteristic is that it is strong. Although it has no Dao pattern, it can withstand the attack of medium-grade magic tools."
"As for the material, it may be formed by combining and melting some spiritual materials together."
"If you choose it, it can be cheaper. You can take it away for 370 spirit stones."
The female cultivator showed a bright smile and looked at Li Qing, as if waiting for him to make a choice.
Li Qing's eyes stayed on this black forge, and he could vaguely see that a lot of dust had accumulated in the furnace.
It turned out to be a second-hand product! No wonder it was so cheap!
It is probably because this furnace has no special abilities that it has been kept in Wanbaolou for many years and has never been sold.
Li Qing thought about it and was already somewhat tempted by this ordinary black furnace.
"Okay, this is it!"
As he spoke, Li Qing patted the furnace body of the black furnace, and this pat shook off a lot of dust.
