"Yes, Senior Lin, the Han family only has this small piece left!" Han Xiaopo said, "This thing is useless to the hidden Han family. I heard that it's a supplementary material that only the legendary blacksmiths and high-ranked alchemists can use. The hidden Han family doesn't have any alchemists or blacksmiths, so it's useless even if we have it. We definitely won't keep it."
"I believe you!" Lin Yi nodded. Since Han Xiaopo was able to give Lin Yi all the prizes, he must have put in a lot of effort. If there was more of this kind of colored steel, he wouldn't have kept it for himself. If Lin Yi found out about it, there would definitely be a crack in their relationship!
At least, Lin Yi could see that the hidden Han family was trying to rope him in. As long as the hidden Han family's head wasn't stupid, he wouldn't do something so stupid.
"Senior Lin, is this colored steel not enough?" Han Xiaopo asked.
"Yes, it's a little less." Lin Yi said lightly, "Do you have more?"
"That's hard to say. The hidden Han family doesn't have it anymore, but the other hidden families might have it!" Han Xiaopo said, "Because this thing isn't very useful to the hidden families. It's of little value, so we haven't asked around before."
Lin Yi nodded and asked, "That means, this thing isn't very rare, but it's not very useful to the families, right? What would an alchemist need this thing for? "
"Exactly!" Han Xiaopo nodded and said, "Although I don't know what Senior Lin needs this colored steel for, as far as I know, this thing can only be used by blacksmiths. As for alchemists, I heard that high-ranked alchemists can use it too. When they cast medicine cauldrons, they also need to add this colored steel!"
It turned out that casting medicine cauldrons also needed to add colored steel. No wonder the normal medicine cauldrons exploded as soon as they were used. Although the medicine cauldron Han Jingjing got from Right Coiling Tiger was made of copper, it was probably added with a special material like colored steel to make it usable for alchemists.
"So the colored steel I obtained can really be used to cast medicine cauldrons." Lin Yi nodded and said faintly.
Lin Yi knew that if he used the hidden Han Family to look for Cai Steel, it would definitely arouse suspicion. Therefore, in order not to arouse suspicion, since Han Xiaopo said that Cai Steel could be used to forge medicine cauldrons, Lin Yi directly pushed the blame onto medicine cauldrons.
"Oh? From what Senior Lin said, you're an Alchemist? "Han Xiaopo's eyes lit up.
"That's right, I am an alchemist!" Lin Yi nodded and said, "I have obtained a secret manual for casting cauldrons. I'm ready to try casting a cauldron for myself, so I've been looking for a lot of colored steel. However, I didn't know that colored steel could be used to cast cauldrons. Now that you've confirmed it, it seems that my secret manual is not fake."
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why Senior Lin was looking for this rare colored steel!" Han Xiaopo said, "But, this colored steel can't be used by most people. However, during this hidden house summit, no one would intentionally use this thing as a treasure to bet, and the other forces wouldn't allow it either. After all, this thing isn't very useful to us …"
"Then, how can I get more colored steel?" Lin Yi asked.
"This … Our hidden House Han can ask around on behalf of Senior Lin, but you'll have to rely on luck." Han Xiaopo said honestly, "I'm not sure if I can get more colored steel. After all, in the ranks of the hidden houses, the hidden House Han doesn't have much of a say. If we could stand at the level of the hidden House Yu, the hidden House You, or even the hidden House Zhao that just had a Sky class, it would be easy to go to other houses to look for colored steel."
Lin Yi nodded. With House Han's current strength, asking them to go to other hidden houses to look for colored steel was like asking a tiger for its skin! If he could help the hidden Han family win a few more matches in this hidden house summit, then he might be able to raise the hidden Han family's status a little bit. But this increase would depend on the Han family's own connections. If he were to count on them to help him find out more about Cai Gang, who knew how long it would take.
"Is there no other way?" Lin Yi asked, a little disappointed.
"I can't say that there isn't …" Han Xiaopo hesitated, "Other ways are just luck …"
"Let's hear it," Lin Yi said. Sometimes, having a way was better than having no way at all. One more way meant one more hope.
"Not long after the hidden house summit, there will be a cultivator's market. We can go there and take a look," Han Xiaopo said.
"Cultivator's market? What's that? "Lin Yi asked, frowning.
"I'm guessing that Senior Lin probably doesn't know about the existence of the cultivator's market. That's why you brought it up. Looks like Senior Lin really doesn't know about it." Han Xiaopo nodded, "Actually, our hidden House Han only found out about the cultivator's market in recent years! The cultivators who participate in the cultivator's market are all old cultivator families. There are also some lone cultivators who have masters to guide them. If other cultivators don't have masters to guide them, they won't be able to find it! "
"Tell me about the cultivator's market." Lin Yi nodded.
"The cultivator's market, as the name suggests, is a place for cultivators to trade with each other. It's a small trade fair. There, cultivators can trade with each other. They can set up stalls to sell things they don't need, such as treasures, spiritual medicine, or cultivation manuals. They can sell them for money, or they can use them to exchange for things they need!" Han Xiaopo explained, "There are more lone cultivators there. Maybe we can find the other things that Cai Gang and Senior Lin need."
"So there really is a trade fair like this." Lin Yi suddenly understood, and his heart leaped with joy. With a trade fair like this, it would be much easier for him to find things in the future! And if Han Jingjing could concoct pills in the future, he could also concoct some pills to sell and exchange. It was a good way to go.
