Two days later, Mr. Ye's room.
"After a few days of rest, you come with me to Zhihuofang in the city. High-grade magic weapons are still difficult for me. I have to borrow the fire of the earth veins to be more confident.
Although Uncle Hong gave me two pieces of materials, you should try your best to succeed the first time, otherwise I will feel guilty. "
Mr. Ye looked at the storage bag on the table and said.
"Yes, Uncle Ye." Liangchen responded.
A few days later, Uncle Ye shouted for good luck, briefly explained some things about the store to Ah Hu and Ah Long, and then rushed towards the valley to the north of Magic Dragon City.
Go out of the city through the north gate of Magic Dragon City, and it's about a few miles further.
A round three-story building with a red roof, built of red rocks, with runes engraved on it, it should be protected by extremely powerful formations.
The two dragon columns at the gate are about five or six feet high, and a large black plaque hangs in the atrium, with three ancient seal characters "Zhihuofang" written in red paint prepared with animal blood.
The building is surrounded by silver-armored guards patrolling back and forth, led by a golden-armored leader.
"Who are you?" Seeing someone coming, a guard stepped forward and asked.
"The old man is the shopkeeper of the Ye family's weapons shop in the city. Today, due to the need for weapon refining, he came here to rent the Earthline Fire."
Mr. Ye said that he took out a triangular waist card, engraved a number and wrote the word "Ye".
"Come in." The guard took the badge, checked briefly and let the two in.
Entering the hall, Liangchen felt warm all over. The temperature inside the room was actually more than half higher than outside.
I saw a white jade counter and several rattan chairs in the center of the hall.
Sitting on the chair in the middle was a charming woman with red lips and curved eyebrows. Wearing an emerald green gauze, her graceful figure is looming.
The woman was holding her chin in one hand and writing something on a ledger with a brush in the other hand. When she saw someone coming in, she looked up.
"Are you two here to refine weapons, or are you here to find someone?" the woman asked.
"To come to refine weapons, you need to rent a fire workshop." Mr. Ye replied.
"How long do we have to wait for the firehouse?" the woman asked again.
"Third wait is enough." Mr. Ye replied, taking out the waistband he had just checked and handing it over.
"One hundred days, how many days will it take?" the woman said, looking at the badge.
"Two days." Mr. Ye replied.
"Pay a deposit of 300 gold, you know the rules, right? Someone will send a message to remind you two days later, and you will open the door and turn off the engine after three days," the woman said.
"I know." Mr. Ye responded and handed over three hundred spirit golds.
"Four Room B. Please come to the right." The gorgeous woman took the spirit gold and handed Mr. Ye a token. The token was like a torch, with a silver body and golden flames.
Mr. Ye took the token and led Liangchen in to the right.
After exiting the hall, there is a walkway on the right. Slowly advancing along the walkway, it is a spiral downward passage, which gets hotter as you go down.
There are stone gates one after another on both sides. On the stone gates, there is a sign similar to Ye Laoling's torch token, with numbers such as A1, A2, etc. engraved on it.
There was a guard guarding every section of the corridor. After reading Mr. Ye's sign, he continued to move forward.
After passing a few more rooms, the two of them saw Room B and Fourth.
Liangchen was about to open the door when he was stopped by Mr. Ye.
"If there are restrictions, you need to use this token to open them."
Ye Lao put the token in his hand against the concave mark carved on the door with familiarity, and the stone door slowly opened.
Waves of heat hit my face, as if I were in a furnace.
The furnishings of the room are also very simple, with a stone bed and a stone table by the wall, two stone benches in front of the stone table, and a round stone slab in the middle.
Uncle Ye took down the torch token on the wall, and the stone door slammed shut.
"Uncle Ye, where is the Earth Vein Fire?" Liangchen looked around the room and asked in a daze.
"It's under this stone slab." Uncle Ye pointed to a stone slab on the ground in the center of the room.
Liangchen walked over and saw a totem-like mural carved on the stone slab.
Above, a group of people dressed in strange clothes were singing and dancing around a flame. There was also a pit for a torch token in the middle of the flame.
Uncle Ye slowly put the torch in his hand into the pit. The stone slab lit up and turned into fine sand as if it had been crushed by a huge force.
As the last trace of sand disappeared, a large ball of flame seemed like an uncontrollable ferocious beast,
A sound of "Peng——" came out from the black hole in the ground!
The flames jumped more than two feet high, almost reaching the roof!
Liangchen was too close and just stared at it. The flames flashed, making him jump back. Then he smelled a few wisps of burnt hair.
Seeing Liangchen's embarrassment, Mr. Ye smiled cheerfully and said:
"Haha~ When I first came here, I was almost the same as you."
"Hehe. You're too close." Liangchen said awkwardly.
"Young people, it's good to be curious, but in front of unknown things, it's best to release the magic shield first." Mr. Ye said with a smile.
"Liangchen remembers it." Liangchen said as he used his magic shield.
As soon as the leyline fire came out, the temperature in the room suddenly rose to a terrifying height!
I don’t know if it’s because of practicing the Flame Making Technique, but Liangchen always feels that the flames are not so dangerous and scary, but rather have a close feeling.
Ye Lao made a spell and used the Fire Snake Cauldron.
The Fire Snake Cauldron slowly floated down and landed right on the black hole, and the flames immediately wrapped the Fire Snake Cauldron in the middle.
"After all, the fire of the earth's veins is a force of nature, not one's own, so the fire cauldron for sacrifice needs to absorb the fire of the earth's veins for a while and merge with it. This process takes about an hour or two."
As he spoke, Mr. Ye took out the storage bag and began to place the materials on the stone table one by one.
"Uncle Ye, with this earth vein fire, can't I also try to refine magic weapons?" Liangchen asked happily with a thought in his heart.
"Theoretically, that's the case. It's just that the cost of renting a ground fire is also a huge expense." Uncle Ye said.
"One hundred spirit gold a day is not very expensive." Liangchen said.
"Listening to your tone, it sounds like you have a lot of savings?" Uncle Ye asked with a smile.
"Haha, it's only a few hundred spirit gold." Liangchen replied with a smile.
"What can you do with a few hundred gold? There are three types of rooms in Zhihuofang, upper-class, medium-class, and lower-class. The prices are six hundred gold, four hundred gold, and two hundred gold respectively. Ours is a low-class room for one day. Two hundred gold." Uncle Ye explained.
"Then just now, I thought she only charged you a hundred gold a day." Liangchen asked, thinking that Uncle Ye had made a mistake.
"We charge one hundred gold. Because this Zhihuo Fang is the property of the city lord, our shop pays a certain tax to the city lord every year. This Zhihuo Fang has preferential prices for our shops in Magic Dragon City, which are one hundred, Three hundred, five hundred.
That's why I just showed the identity token representing our Ye family store. "Uncle Ye said.
"Oh, that's it." Liangchen suddenly realized.
"You just said you wanted to refine magic weapons here, so let me do the math for you:
For example, a low-level magic weapon requires about tens of gold and less than a hundred gold. If it is refined here, another hundred gold will be added to the rent.
And some magic weapons can only be sold for three to four hundred gold after being refined. If the failure rate is added to it, it is no longer cost-effective here!
Therefore, even if we are given a preferential price and can solve it with magic power, we generally will not come here.
But when refining some higher-grade magic weapons that are less certain, in order to increase the success rate, I will consider refining them here. "Uncle Ye said.
"I see." Liangchen listened to his analysis and felt that it was indeed not cost-effective to refine weapons here.
“The earth vein fire here is divided into three levels. We use the lowest level, so it is closer to the ground, and its power is equivalent to the peak level in the early stage of foundation building.
In the middle and upper-class rooms further down, the earth fire inside is purer and much more powerful than this.
The quality is almost comparable to the purity of the flame essence in the early stages of the golden elixir.
It's just that refining high-grade magic weapons does not require such high-purity flames. Although it can increase the success rate slightly, it is a bit wasteful. "
While waiting, Mr. Ye gave a brief introduction to the Earth Vein Fire.
