It is naturally impossible for Yu Ci to rush back now. In fact, there is no need at all.
He just said casually: "I have seen the Liu family's magical weapons. The refining, sacrificial refining, and tool making are so complicated. It's a pity that great materials are missing."
As soon as he finished speaking, a rough and angry voice came from his ears: "You Taoist priest, it's so unreasonable. Did Liu provoke you?"
Yu Ci turned around and saw a tall, strong man with a body almost as big as a bear, but his skin was a little too fair. At this time, his eyes were wide open, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Yu Ci's evaluation.
According to intelligence, this is the refining master of Jujingfang who is the most proficient in large-scale refining of mineral materials, Liu Shande.
Obviously, this person was hired by Sanxitang. He had just arrived to handle the materials, but he heard Yu Ci’s unfriendly comments and was momentarily annoyed.
Yu Ci smiled: "This is Master Liu, don't be surprised, don't be surprised. In fact, I still admire Master Liu's level of refining materials. But I once saw a magical weapon, and the undercurrent in it Although the sand refining is good, the ritual refining is in a mess and the magic weapon is mediocre... It’s not just one or two people saying that.”
He described the sword energy gourd briefly. Liu Shande's face was still ugly, but his tone softened:
"Our Liu family has never sold a gourd-shaped magic weapon. The one you mentioned is the 'Black Evil Sword Gourd'. Only the refining was handled by my late father, but whether it is for sacrifice or refining, the sword energy gourd is used as a container. No matter what, it has nothing to do with our Liu family.
This is why Liu Shande and his son lack real value in the intelligence chain.
As first-class refiners, their father and son handle millions or tens of millions of kilograms of various materials every year. All the clues are gathered here and then spread on a large scale.
In the past few decades, more than half of the monks around Haihai Mountain have been connected with them through magical instruments and materials.
Even if Liu Shande has a photographic memory, he still cannot remember every one of his subordinates.
For more than ten years, the intelligence gathered by Yu Ci’s followers has ended here.
To be honest, it is not easy for Liu Shande to remember the sword energy gourd.
Yu Ci suspected that this was because more than one person had mentioned it to him over the past few years, either explicitly or covertly.
Sure enough, Liu Shande became more and more annoyed as he talked: "The Jianqi Gourd is a standard device of Lunjianxuan. It was also popular back then. There were so many forgers near Haihai Mountain. Who would have thought that it would become popular in the past few years? , It’s all about finding trouble. Our Liu family just refined a batch of dark tide sand and used it on it. It has nothing to do with us how the guests refine it or use it!”
"Whether it is a success or a failure. Typical people will always remember it more clearly."
Yu Ci replied in confidence, then smiled and said: "Master Liu said this, everyone will understand, won't you? Please forgive me for the gaffe I just made.
"Speaking of which, it is fate to meet a first-class refiner like Master Liu. I happen to have some questions about raw material refining that I need to ask for advice, and I also want to see Master Liu's wonderful refining techniques. I don't know if there will be an undercurrent of refining in the future. Can you stay with me when there is sand? ”
Liu Shande really didn’t like the fake Taoist priest in front of him with his arms around the stunning beauty, but he found it difficult to refuse such a “sincere” request, so he could only respond with a straight face:
"Undercurrent sand is not a very rare material, and the technique is simple. But if the customer wants to see it, it's okay."
Yu Ci nodded, turned around and asked Manager Chu: "Of those sky mines, which two are missing in your hall?"
Manager Chu responded honestly: "Chenguang stone and star smelt copper."
Yu Ci raised his eyebrows. Sometimes, God likes to make fun of others.
The two missing types are precisely what Yu Ci is most familiar with and needs most.
Not to mention the importance of star smelting copper, chenguang stone was the first batch of advanced materials that Yu Ci came into contact with.
Back then in the Sky Rift Valley, he got seven fragments of the Sunlight Stone from the demon's habitat. He always suspected that they were the remains of a certain magic weapon, and that they were owned by the powerful Taixuan Demon Mother. Later, at the gate of the Lichen Sect, Uncle Lu De used the seven fragments of the Sunlight Stone to create a seven-star sword for him. It was a top-grade sword, but it was a pity that it was lost during the battle with Mr. Gai Da.
Now recalling the properties of Sunlight Stone and analyzing it using the Nine Laws of Heaven and Man, Sunlight Stone should be one of the most suitable natural minerals for the Taixuan lineage.
Yu Ci identified those kinds of ores not just to provide cover for Star Copper Smelting, but also to collect some for some experimental purposes. Unfortunately, this idea seems to be temporarily suspended.
Yu Ci did not ask any further questions and just said: "As long as there is inventory, Guitang's delivery speed should still be trustworthy... Then, I will go and see Master Liu's refining techniques first, do you mind?"
"Please excuse me, my guest. When you come out, the five minerals must be fully equipped."
Looking at Yu Ci's ripple-free pupils, Manager Chu felt a little palpitated for no reason, and unconsciously added: "We can also ask other stores to try to allocate goods and make up for those two kinds of ores. ”
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I felt rude. But at this time, Yu Ci had already responded with a smile:
"That would be troublesome."
After saying that, he signaled to Liu Shande and let him take him to Yiyinku with Baoyun.
Yiyinku is located on the edge of the restricted area controlled by Sanxitang. It is connected to the refining pool outside the core area through channels. It can attract various external forces such as magma and cold springs for refining purposes.
Liu Shande's temperament is a bit strange, but he is essentially a very professional refiner. After entering the workshop specially prepared for him in the warehouse, he went about his business.
Yu Ci and Bao Yun did not disturb him for the time being, and just watched quietly.
The two of them saw that the famous refiner led a large amount of gray sand out of the specially designed conduit in the warehouse and flowed into the prepared empty pool. During this period, he often reached out and secretly Yun Lingguang looked very cautious as he probed the gushing sand spring to determine the basic properties of the gravel.
Yu Ci asked from behind: "They are all undertide sand dug from Qingtan in 'Jiaocheng'. Are there any differences in them?"
"Jiaocheng Qingtan covers an area of 100,000 acres. The surrounding environment is harsh. Sea creatures are often washed ashore. The impact of their blood on the sand is very complicated, and this is only one of the reasons that affects the quality of undertide sand. ”
Liu Shande has become accustomed to answering questions. While dealing with gravel, he also tells everything he knows.
"Just now the guest mentioned the 'Sky Mine', which is also a big influencing factor. In order to increase the formation of the sky mine veins, the sects of Haihai Mountain set up traction magic circles in the Biluo Tianyu. The scale is very large, and many of them should not be The meteorites that fell here are all smashed down, and the density is amazing. If a meteorite hits nearby, it will also cause the sand to mutate..."
Yu Cizhen chatted with him: "So, even if the refined dark tide sand comes from the same source, it still has different properties? The corresponding method of refining should also be changed?"
Liu Shande responded: "Actually, for large-scale refined materials, this kind of problem is always unavoidable. It can be treated as defective products. It is replaced with the sky mine purchased by the customer and carefully crafted. Similar situations It’s very difficult to show up... Hehe, everyone in this world has such defective materials, and there are still people who specialize in collecting them."
The following sentence comes out completely out of nowhere.
Liu Shande was completely unaware that as his conversation with Yu Ci deepened, the activity in his brain was much higher than usual, and some details that he would not have thought of came out one by one, and they were spoken. No holds barred, just say whatever comes to mind.
Yu Ci's voice was unhurried: "Collecting? Defective materials?"
"It's Yang Ming from the original mining area. His biggest hobby is to collect the spoiled parts of these materials. He has two warehouses at home filled with these things. Sometimes he also sells them for takeout, and the prices keep rising. , profiteers! ”
"This habit has been going on for a long time."
"That is, when my father was still alive, that guy had already started. The cooperative relationship alone lasted for more than a hundred years."
"That's it."
At this point, Yu Ci took the initiative to change the topic and started talking about other things. At the same time, she also asked for some refinement issues.
Liu Shande is nimble with his hands and sharp with his tongue. He knows everything he knows and talks about it in full.
In this way, after this batch of dark tide sand was refined, apart from anything else, my mouth became dry.
At this time, Yu Ci and Bao Yun had already left the workshop, returned to Sanxitang's store, and took over several packaged materials from Manager Chu.
Manager Chu was also expressing his gratitude to them: "Ashamed, ashamed. I contacted several shops and only managed to get these six or two stars to smelt copper... The mining of Chenguang Stone has always been controlled by the Lingchen Sect, but now they have too much time to take care of themselves. I have no intention of doing business. The customer can come back after a while, but at that time, I can’t tell who owns the property.”
"It's a good idea, Manager Chu, to keep an eye on it for me."
Yu Ci dealt with it casually, opened the sealed box, looked at the special metal that had been refined into semi-solidified droplets, and nodded slightly. Although it was a drop in the bucket, and although it was "pure goods" that had not been processed by magic methods, it was still a good start.
After putting away several types of sky mines and paying for the goods, Yu Ci asked another question:
"I heard that there are people in the city who specialize in collecting and selling mutant materials..."
Manager Chu was slightly stunned, thought carefully for a moment, and then said: "You are talking about Yang Ming in the original mining area, there is this person! Hey, the Yang family has settled down, and they have stayed here for half their lives, studying some inexplicable things. But The customer has a good eye, and if he’s lucky, he might be able to dig out some treasures there.”
"The Yang family? Is it the one related to the Siming Sect?"
"It is the Yang family who is now related to the master of Siming Sect. However, this family has long been a side branch and has nothing to do with the master's family. Instead, it is linked to our hall..."
"Oh, you said Yang De."
"Hey, do you know this too, guest?"
Yu Ci laughed dumbly: "I know a little bit about it, I have dealt with it... Sometimes it just happens by chance."
