Chen Zu An realized that even if he became a Tengra, he wouldn't get any special treatment from Lü Xiaoyu. Speaking of which, he was worse than Ash. Even Ash could be presumptuous, but he couldn't …
Meanwhile, Lü Shu was still discussing business with Ouyang Li Shang. This was because Lü Shu was very interested in the so-called "molten iron" and "flames" in the Laos ruins.
Other ruins would more or less have some precious items, but it didn't make sense to say that these ruins were so special. Not only were there no living creatures, but the only usable item was a hammer used for forging.
Lü Shu suspected that the entire ruins were treasures left behind by the Old Divine King. As long as he could subdue Ouyang Li Shang, these ruins would provide him with countless resources.
"Oh, by the way, when I was in Lü Zhou, I realized that there were very few metals that could be used to forge artifacts. What happened?" Lü Shu asked Ouyang Li Shang.
Ouyang Li Shang gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you asking me? Didn't you collect all of them yourself? Back then, the few big mines were all uprooted by you and placed somewhere unknown. Only the small mines are left in the world. That's why the aristocratic families, great nobles, and Celestial Emperors don't have enough resources to forge weapons. "
Lü Shu thought that this made sense. No wonder when he was in Lü Zhou, he felt that the value of weapons was much higher than armor. The rarer something was, the greater its value!
Such a situation didn't exist on Earth. Armor had always been more valuable than weapons. However, in Lü Zhou, it was the opposite.
It turned out that the Old Divine King had simply dug away all the mines. Since then, there were very few mines that could be used to forge weapons, causing the price of weapons to soar.
Lü Shu looked at Ouyang Li Shang and said, "Go back into the green lamp. I'll bring you somewhere."
With that, Lü Shu stuffed the green lamp into the star atlas and walked into the ruins of the Array Eye Hammer!
The reason why he didn't put anything into the Seal of Mountains and Rivers recently was that Chaos was getting naughtier and wanted to take a bite out of everything. If one wasn't prepared, the item might be gone.
Besides, his son Chaos had a very good appetite. Would a dragon that ate artifacts like food from a young age have indigestion? Obviously not …
Back then, Chaos had even bitten a few pieces of the Dragon Sacrificial Altar into pieces. Otherwise, Fatty Chen Zuan wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the Dragon Sacrificial Altar with his huge appetite. Not to mention whether there were still dragons in this world, if there were, Chaos would definitely be the one with the best teeth …
Lü Shu stood in the fire-like world of the Laos ruins. he finally understood what purgatory was.
Dark red veins spread across the ground. The ground in front of them was like a huge metal ore vein. The flames spewing out from the earth's core continuously melted these metals and flowed to other places to solidify.
There was a red magma pool at the center of the ruins. It was filled with boiling molten iron, and there seemed to be a golden light shuttling through the molten iron like a swimming dragon.
Lü Shu didn't even know what the metal was called. He could only describe it as molten iron.
The ruins weren't big. At least, it wasn't as big as the Northern Sea Ruins. But if this was really the ore vein dug by the Old Divine King, then the metal here and Ouyang Li Shang's skills were enough to arm an army of a state!
The Old Divine King did a lot of things after he unified Lü Zhou. He only hoped that there would be no more wars in that world.
But he might have realized in the end that the root of war was never weapons, but desire.
As long as humans had desire, they could start a war even without weapons.
Lü Shu took out the green lamp and summoned Ouyang Li Shang. "Do you recognize the molten iron here?"
However, as soon as Ouyang Li Shang appeared, he stood there in a daze. "Floating gold! It's all floating gold! So the floating gold that you dug away is all here! "
Lü Shu suddenly realized that Ouyang Li Shang knew about it. It was a substance called floating gold. "What's the use of this stuff?" he asked curiously.
In fact, Ouyang Li Shang had known the difference between Lü Shu and the Old Divine King. But he knew that the Old Divine King had too many secrets, so he didn't ask what he shouldn't ask. He should answer whatever he asked. After all, the Dead Dog, the Hidden Arrow, the Swallowing Thief, and the Gourd were all with Lü Shu. Besides, Lü Shu must have gotten the permission of the Defilers to come out from the ruins in the Yellow Stone National Park. Nobody in this world could come out from that evil world except for the Old Divine King, so he knew his limits.
Ouyang Li Shang explained, "This is the most popular mine in Lü Zhou. There were three mines in Lü Zhou, but they were all dug away by you. The ones left outside were mined over a long period of time. And the underground fire you placed here is quite special. It can melt the floating gold directly. It took me eighty-one days to melt the floating gold when I forged the Tide of the World! "
"Wait a minute," Lü Shu was taken aback. "Did you say the Tide of the World was forged with this stuff?!"
"Yes." Ouyang Li Shang said, "Though the Mountain-shaking Armor was smelted from the meteorite and couldn't be forged more, the Tide of the World is different. But you didn't allow me to forge more of it, and only gave it to the Inner Hall."
Lü Shu thought for a long while and asked, "If I gave this place to you, how long would it take you to forge one Tide of the World?"
"The floating gold here is ready-made, and it's all melted." Ouyang Li Shang estimated, "But the structure of the Tide of the World is complicated, and the mold needs to be precise. The engraved seals are also complicated. I think that even if all the forging apprentices were to work, it would be good if they could forge one in a month. Moreover, the defect rate would be very high. It would be good if there were nine usable out of eighteen."
Lü Shu frowned. They probably didn't have much time. The space passage would open in less than two months. In other words, even if they dragged the forging apprentices to work together, they might only be able to forge nine usable ones before the space passage opened.
"But you don't have to worry about the damage of the raw materials. After all, the defective Tide of the World will be thrown back here, and the materials won't be wasted at all." Ouyang Li Shang explained, "It's just that the forging apprentices you prepared for me are too few. If there are more forging apprentices, even if the failure rate increases, the output will also increase. The finished products will be polished and carved by me, and they will all be of high quality."
Wait a minute, Lü Shu suddenly thought of something. There were more forging apprentices.
In fact, Ouyang Li Shang didn't have high basic requirements for forging apprentices: understanding the characteristics of metals that could conduct spiritual power, and having intermediate strength …
There were actually many such apprentices in the major cultivation academies. Because the major cultivation academies had the specialization of forging, the students would first learn this knowledge.
In the Tengra Earth Net, the status of forging experts was higher than that of students, but in Ouyang Li Shang's eyes, there was no difference between students and forging experts. They were all rookies!
And for this kind of assembly line guidance, rookies were enough.
