Alchemist Sword Sect

If the news about the Earth Fire Fine Gold leaks out, it will definitely attract many parties to covet it, and many magic masters and hidden masters will probably be dispatched.

After all, this is the best raw material that can be used to refine immortal weapons, and it is rare to find.

Lu Chen did not act rashly and waited patiently. At the same time, he walked around the Black Wind Mountains. He found that there was more than one such forging furnace, but the other furnaces were not as large as the one in front of the mountain. Some of the others were small temporary buildings. For furnaces, some simply use magic weapons such as furnaces and cauldrons for calcination.

It's a pity that the content of earth-fire fine gold contained in this kind of hot soil is too low. It takes a lot of hot soil to extract a little bit of earth-fire fine gold. It is difficult for ordinary furnace-type spiritual weapons or even holy weapons to complete such a large scale. workload.

Only by using primitive methods and calcining these hot soil many times, and finally integrating them all into the big cauldron in front of the valley, can we get some higher quality hot soil.

Even if the last process is completed, it is still impossible to obtain pure earth fire gold because the calcining firepower is too poor. Real fire or even fairy fire must be used to completely refine the impurities and obtain pure earth fire gold. .

The refining process proceeds very slowly.

Lu Chen and others had been lurking in the Black Wind Mountains and waited for ten days.

"Boss, are we just going to wait like this?" A strong man was already very impatient. If it weren't for Lu Chen's force, he would have exploded long ago.

"That group of bandits hasn't appeared yet. There are so many of them. Do you think we can go in directly?" Chase Lu scolded.

"But guarding like this is not an option."

"No need to rush."

Lu Chen asked these people to wait where they were, and he walked around the valley alone, observing the terrain and mountains.

There is a huge mine in the valley, and a total of about four to five hundred hard workers are collecting hot soil. These hard workers are warriors at the fourth and fifth levels of the acquired realm, with low strength.

In addition to a few Taiyuan Sect disciples who personally activated the spiritual fire and refined the hot soil in the valley, there was also a group of people responsible for supervising the miners.

Lu Chen could judge based on the temperament of these people, which ones were Taiyuan Sect disciples and which ones were real bandits.

These people in charge of supervision were all extremely vicious and murderous, similar to the people Lu Chen saw in the Dead Sea desert that day.

Since the mine is too big and there are too many people, manpower is needed to maintain order. This kind of supervision work is naturally left to these bandits. As a disciple of Taiyuan Sect, they will not go to the mine to supervise the hard workers in person.

Any hard worker who was even slightly lazy would be severely whipped.

These hard laborers had little freedom and were mistreated. If they were not careful, they would be beaten to pieces. Unfortunately, no matter how they begged for mercy, the guards showed no mercy.

After all, these people are extremely vicious bandits who have killed countless people, so naturally they cannot be merciful.

Lu Chen saw several miners dying of exhaustion due to overwork, and their bodies were all thrown off the cliff by the guards.

As for the origins of these hard workers, I am afraid that most of them are unlucky guys near Longshan City who were caught by bandits and worked as coolies. The only outcome for these people is death. Even if these hot soils are mined, Lu Chen estimates that these hard workers will not be able to escape. One death.

Taiyuan Sect will definitely block all news here.

Judging from the situation in the entire Black Wind Mountain Range, it is indeed very sealed and patrolled from time to time. If Lu Chen's soul perception was not extremely sensitive and he could hide it in advance, just the few thugs hired by the Tianxia Business Alliance would have been there long ago. He was discovered by Taiyuan Sect disciples.

Lu Chen's trip was originally to wait for these bandits to go out, so that he could catch one or two people for interrogation in order to get the whereabouts of the Disk of Time and Space.

There are several bandit-like people patrolling the Black Wind Mountain Range at all times. With Lu Chen's abilities, there is no problem in catching a few people quietly.

But he still gave up.

Because once someone is arrested, the Taiyuan Sect will soon discover anomalies. Regardless of whether these bandits know the whereabouts of the Disk of Time and Space, even if they know, it is still a very troublesome thing to alert the snake.

The Taiyuan Sect disciples in the valley are obviously very strong. Lu Chen can deal with one of them at the sixth level of the Xiantian Realm, but it's hard to say if two of them are together. Besides, there are so many of them, so it is not a wise move to act rashly.

After Lu Chen inquired about the situation, he returned to where Su Xuan and others were.

"Boss, how's the situation?"

Everyone asked in a hurry.

Although these people were impatient with Lu Chen's delay, they had to be deeply in awe of Lu Chen's movement and strength in moving freely in the Black Wind Mountains, as well as his unpredictable sensing ability.

"I want to ask you something." Lu Chen said, "What is it?"

"I heard that the bandits near the Dead Sea Desert have only appeared in the past year. In my opinion, those bandits may have accumulated many years of habits, otherwise they would not have developed such a deep murderous aura. That means, those bandits in the Dead Sea Desert A group of bandits were mostly bandits a year ago. It took more than a year for so many people to gather together. Before the group of bandits in the Dead Sea Desert appeared, bandits and bandits of this size had appeared near Longshan City. A force like that?" Lu Chen said to everyone.

After observing and thinking, he found that there was something unusual about those bandits.

He knew that these people in front of him were all warriors with sword-tips licking blood. They had traveled all over the country and had some experience. They might be able to provide him with some information.

An arrogant person said: "Boss, there are many forces inside and outside near Longshan City. What kind of bandits dare to be arrogant around here? That is to say, those bandits in the Dead Sea Desert have this ability."

"No, for more than a year, a group of bandits more than two hundred miles away was very rampant. Those bandits occupied a mountain range called Tianlang Mountain, robbed merchants, and even sometimes attacked sect disciples. But then the whole Tianlang All the mountain bandits disappeared for no reason, and there are rumors that it was Taiyuan Sect’s masters who took action and wiped out Tianlang Mountain." Another person said.

"The Tianlang Mountain Bandits were said to be so powerful that they numbered more than a thousand people, and they were responsible for harming one party. But that is all history now. They were all wiped out by an elite disciple of the Taiyuan Sect. I heard the name of that disciple. His name is Fang Qingchen, he is a great master of the ninth level of innateness."

Everyone was talking about it and soon provided Lu Chen with important clues.

"If this is the case, it means that the bandits are not dead and may have been secretly controlled and cultivated by Taiyuan Sect." Lu Chen thought carefully in his mind.

Based on the cause and effect, he deduced that the group of bandits in the Dead Sea Desert should be the Tianlang Mountain bandits. Someone in the Taiyuan Sect must have driven the bandits to do something that was not suitable for the disciples of the Taiyuan Sect.

For example, bandits once robbed the time and space disk of the Tianxia Merchant Alliance. Naturally, it was not appropriate for Taiyuan Sect disciples to take part in such a thing. Once their identity was exposed, they must be executed according to the sect's laws, so some people borrowed the hands of bandits. , doing this kind of thing of killing people and seizing treasures.

Only by making such inferences can all phenomena be explained.

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Lu Chen began to formulate a plan. He planned to take advantage of the evil and ignore the bandits first, and robbed the most important earth fire gold, which was the most valuable thing.

The value of earth fire fine gold cannot be measured by crystal stones. Even if it is only a little bit, it is far more than the value of a top-grade fire herb.

Therefore, he planned to temporarily put aside the tasks of the World Business Alliance and wait patiently for Taiyuan Sect to refine the land.

He could see that it would take another five days to obtain the rough gold ore from the hot earth through repeated calcining.

The plan has been decided, and Lu Chen arranges his manpower to prepare for a formal operation in the Black Wind Mountains.

Five days later, Lu Chen ordered Su Xuan to take his men around to the top of the valley, while he quietly approached the valley from the front.

The furnace in front of the valley is still burning, but the last process is about to be completed. The three Taiyuan Sect disciples are working hard to activate the profound energy and activate Lihuo.

One of the tall men said: "Senior Brother Li, Earth Fire Fine Gold is about to be officially released. After so many days of work, it is finally coming to an end. I wonder what reward Senior Brother Fang Qingchen will give us?"

Another person said: "Senior Brother Fang has always been very generous. As long as we complete the task on time, you will have at least one medium-grade holy weapon, and you will definitely have five hundred thousand crystal stones." When he said this, his face also showed A smile appeared.

"But the news must be strictly sealed. The hot earth mine here must be well developed, and a lot of earth fire gold should be refined. The more refined, the richer the reward will be for Senior Brother Fang." The tall man said with a smile.

Half an hour later, a light red stone the size of a millstone was taken out of the furnace.

"Is this Earth Fire Fine Gold? What a powerful fire spirit." A Taiyuan Sect disciple couldn't help but admire.

The fierce fire-attribute spiritual energy spread out, causing the surrounding temperature to increase a lot.

"This can only be regarded as fine ore. There is no way there is so much real earth fire fine gold." said the Taiyuan Sect disciple surnamed Li.

Lu Chen saw this piece of light red stone from a distance. This is earth fire fine gold ore that has been refined many times. It only needs to be refined again by real fire to obtain pure earth fire fine gold.

However, after the final refining is completed, the amount of pure earth fire gold is estimated to be no more than the size of a fist.

After the mountains of hot earth raw materials were refined, only a fist-sized amount of earth-fire fine gold could be obtained. This shows how rare this metal is.

Even though it is a small amount, it is still very expensive, and no matter how large the mining cost is, it is worth paying.

Lu Chen hid behind a boulder and made a gesture to the top of the valley from a distance. Several people suddenly appeared above the valley.

The leader was none other than Su Xuan. This was a plan that Chase Lu had already arranged.

A broken gong-like voice above the valley roared: "The Taiyuan Sect drove the Tianlang Mountain bandits to use despicable means to burn, kill and loot, taking away the time and space disk of the World Business Alliance, and also used cruel means to use hard labor to collect the hot soil. The crime deserves death. I want to expose this news. Then I will see how Taiyuan Sect can stand in the world as a righteous Taoist sect."

These words were naturally taught to them by Lu Chen, and this was naturally done to make the people of Taiyuan Sect fall into disarray.

"What's going on? Someone broke into the Black Wind Mountains?"

"Where did you come from, bastard?"

"How did these people get the news? Who leaked it? Is there a traitor?"

The entire valley was in chaos.
