After that, Chu Chen went to every blacksmith shop with the mentality of making a Hail Mary effort. However, he was disappointed. Faced with this piece of Purple Gold from the Mythological Era, none of the blacksmith shops had the ability to melt it, let alone make it into a medicine furnace.
He worked from late at night until early morning. Chu Chen did not sleep for the entire night. Finally, he walked out of the last blacksmith shop with a face full of helplessness.
It's over … I spent so many spirit stones to buy the Purple Gas Copper, but it turned out to be useless. But thinking that as long as it was a treasure, it would definitely come in handy in the future, he comforted himself.
Chu Chen frowned and walked back dejectedly. But after taking a few steps, he was slightly stunned.
He saw a few houses in the corner of the street ring out. Then, a man with a serious face walked out, holding a canvas canopy in his hand and propped it up at the door.
The words "Xu Ji Blacksmith Shop" were clearly written on the canopy. The words were vigorous and powerful, showing off their sharpness, revealing the owner's lofty temperament.
This … this was also a blacksmith shop?
Chu Chen's eyes widened. This was a street where blacksmiths gathered, and the other blacksmiths' shops were all grand and majestic, dazzling with gold and jade. But this shop was just a few small houses, casually drooping. At first glance, it felt out of place with the layout of the entire street. And looking at the sleepy look of the shopkeeper, it seemed that he had just woken up not long ago.
Was he a newbie? Everyone knew that there was no day or night in the sect. After all, the habits of the sect disciples were different from ordinary people. Often, a deep level of cultivation would take several days. When they woke up, regardless of day or night, they would come to the market if they needed to. Therefore, all the shops and stalls in the sect were open 24 hours a day. After all, if they missed a person, they might miss out on an unimaginable business deal.
This shopkeeper clearly closed the shop at night and only woke up early in the morning to open for business. It really showed that he had a personality.
Why don't … I try looking for him?
Chu Chen hesitated for a moment, doubting the true ability of this amateur blacksmith. But now that things had come to this, he could only try his best. Anyway, it wouldn't take much effort to ask.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen tidied up his clothes and walked to the front of the shop. He slightly cupped his hands and said, "Master Xu, I have a special type of iron here. I want to smelt it into copper to make a medicine furnace. I wonder if you can do it here?"
The shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop looked to be in his thirties or forties. He looked at Chu Chen, nodded, and walked out. "What iron sheet? Let me see. "
Chu Chen once again mechanically took out the purple gold fragment and handed it to him. The moment the purplish gold fragment appeared, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly burst with an extremely dazzling light. His expression unconsciously revealed a trace of shock and astonishment.
Eh? Could there be hope?
Chu Chen's heart was slightly moved.
Holding the purplish gold fragment with both hands, the middle-aged blacksmith's expression was incomparably solemn. He carefully weighed it a few times and closed his eyes to sense it for a moment. The astonishment in his expression gradually faded. In the next moment, something that Chu Chen couldn't have imagined happened. He threw the purplish gold fragment into Chu Chen's hands and said indifferently, "I can refine this iron sheet. But I don't want to. "
Chu Chen's eyes instantly widened.
"Master, what is the meaning of your words? To tell you the truth, this junior has already visited all the blacksmith shops in the market square. They all said that they had no way to refine this fragment. Since Master has a way to refine this fragment today, why aren't you willing to do it? "
"Humph, don't compare me to others. How could those mortals with their naked eyes know the secret of this thing?! " The middle-aged blacksmith snorted coldly. His tone was unconsciously filled with arrogance. "I don't know where you got this thing. It's just that refining this thing is very troublesome. I don't want to cause trouble, so I don't want to refine it. "
Chu Chen's heart jumped fiercely.
The mysteries of this thing? This thing was a fragment of Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace, the Taiyi Eight Trigrams Furnace. This middle-aged blacksmith could actually see through it? This was too exaggerated!
The corners of Chu Chen's mouth twitched. He lowered his head slightly to conceal the shock in his heart and pretended to ask casually, "This junior obtained this fragment by chance, but I don't know what kind of metal it is. Since Senior recognized it, please enlighten this junior."
"I don't recognize it either."
The middle-aged blacksmith shook his head straightforwardly. "This thing is too old. I'm afraid it's from the ancient times, or even earlier, the mythological era. However, although I don't recognize it, I know that it's a piece of copper. No matter what kind of copper it is, as long as it's a type of copper, I have a way to refine it. However, this method is taboo and can't be used casually, so you should go back. "
After the middle-aged blacksmith finished speaking, he left Chu Chen behind and started to work on his own. Soon, a blacksmith shop was set up in a decent manner.
Finally seeing a glimmer of hope, Chu Chen was naturally unwilling to give up so easily. He went up to the blacksmith again and asked, "Since Senior said that this method can't be used casually, then may I ask what conditions are needed to use this method?" This fragment was too important to him, so Chu Chen was unwilling to give up and continued to ask.
"You should go back." The middle-aged blacksmith didn't even turn his head. He was obviously unwilling to say more. Just as Chu Chen was frowning and thinking about what to do, he heard a gentle voice coming from the small room.
"Father, you're really stubborn. You're acting up again. This business is delivered to your door, but you always refuse to do it. I'm really sorry, customer. Father's health isn't very good, so please forgive me and find another shop. "
As she spoke, a graceful figure walked out from the inner room. It was an extremely beautiful girl. She had an oval face, willowy eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, and snow-white skin.
She was wearing the most simple navy blue clothes. No matter how you looked at it, she was dressed like a blacksmith's daughter. However, her temperament showed that she came from a famous family.
Her temperament was noble and natural, completely unlike Leng Qianxue's pampered temperament. She was like a person who could make decisions in a large family, as if the entire situation was under her control.
After seeing Chu Chen, the girl was slightly stunned. She subconsciously covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Little Medicine Saint!"
Uh …
The corners of Chu Chen's mouth twitched as he cupped his hands slightly. "Miss, you flatter me. The title of Little Medicine Saint is due to the love of my Senior Sisters. It's just a joke. You can't take it seriously."
He really didn't expect that in just a few days, he would become so famous that even a girl he had never met before could recognize him. It seemed that the power of his senior sisters was really great.
"You're too kind, Little Medicine Saint is kind-hearted and has exquisite skills. This title is well deserved!"
The blue-clothed girl faintly smiled, then turned to look at the middle-aged blacksmith, "That's right, Father, what does the Little Medicine Saint want to refine?"
"He wants to refine a medicine furnace." The middle-aged blacksmith's mouth twitched. He seemed to scoff at Chu Chen's title of "Little Medicine Saint," but he still respectfully answered the blue-clothed girl's question.
