Chapter 223: Okay, I'll Participate

During this time, it was impossible for Ji Ran to refine only the big sword of Rice. In fact, it is not advisable to replace too much at one time, otherwise it will cause unnecessary damage to the sword body.

For the rest of the time, Ji Ran was planning to refine a big sword for himself.

This big sword Ji Ran also plans to refine it with his heart, which can be regarded as preparing for the recasting of the Chuxiao Sword.

The real swordsmen of the Tibetan Sword Villa all carry two swords. Well, the big guys in Hidden Sword Villa only use one sword...... But people are big guys, and they have reached the realm of the heart sword and sword can be used freely, and the effect of heavy swords can be used with ordinary long swords, and heavy swords can also be lifted with a sense of elegance and lightness, and it doesn't matter if you bring one sword or two swords.

But players don't know how many levels they need to get that kind of stage...... Anyway, Ji Ran's more than 100-level Tibetan Sword Villa swordsman can't reach that kind of Cheng dΓΉ. Therefore, now he needs a heavy sword to increase his combat effectiveness.

The tailbone of a gold-level rock lizard and the legs of a gold-level spider, these two materials can be used to refine two-handed swords. Although neither of them has high intelligence, when used as a material, their body parts are still strong enough, or even surpassed.

Both materials require a very delicate process and cannot be used immediately. The rock lizard's tailbone had to be taken out and added to Les's greatsword, but the rest was enough. With that spider leg, there's still quite a bit left.

Holding the tailbone with both hands, the fire slowly gushed out from the hands. Ji Ran no longer tried to dissolve the material with flame as before, but slowly used the fire to expel the impurities in the material...... In this way, there is less damage to the material. It can maintain the integrity of the material more perfectly.

To know. Most of the high-grade materials. The structure itself is already a miracle. Gold-level monsters and monsters, physical strength, rely on this special structure. Keeping this structure as much as possible is also one of the secrets of making the crafted weapon more powerful.

Today, Ji Ran refined a coccyx, making that coccyx crystal clear, like crystal. But Ji Ran clearly knew that this seemingly fragile material was even harder than most metals. It also has a flexibility that most metals don't have. If you make it into a weapon, you can use all of its strengths.

After doing these two tasks, Ji Ran was extremely satisfied with himself. The mana has increased a little bit after training, and the ability of heart fire has also grown a lot. The improvement he had gained through his training felt more handy than the improvement gained by his experience point proficiency, which deepened his understanding of alchemy. Of course, it's the same with alchemy.

Ji Ran had a lot of knowledge about alchemy and alchemy stored in his mind, but it was always a little obscure to use. That's why in that big practice, he almost didn't make a move at all, and relied entirely on theory to guide those masters. But now. If this refining continues, I'm afraid his operating experience will also increase greatly. Finally, to the point of catching up with those alchemists.

But this kind of cultivation is also a combination of work and rest, today's work is already very tiring, and the rest, let's continue tomorrow.

The next day, Ji Ran went to the lead and gold alchemy shop again and found Master Sergei.

"I'm here to Glansell to spread the word about our explorers, you know that." Sergei and Ji Ran had a separate conversation this time, and Anya and Alice went to visit the alchemy shop.

"Well, if you want to sell the explorer, you need to let more people know about its functions and features. The Alchemy Conference is a great opportunity...... By the way, my part, professor, don't forget it! Ji Ran had a smile on his face. He knew that Sergei had a lot of faith in the explorer, and he was quite proud of the achievement.

"That's true. But the explorer actually has a lot of shortcomings, if it can be solved, even if it can't catch up with the Eye of Wisdom, it can swing a good effect in another direction. At least for now, as an alarm for some small mansions, explorers can save a lot of magic arrays and monitors, and can greatly improve the accuracy of monitoring, I believe there will still be many rich people willing to buy it. It would be even better if the cost could be reduced. Sergei smiled like a flower. Soon, however, he changed his tune.

"This was the original purpose, but after arriving here, I now, this lead and gold alchemy shop, it seems that something is wrong." Sergei's expression became stern.

Ji Ran knew what this problem was, and when he came yesterday, the troublemaker he met must be because of this problem.

"There seems to be some force that wants to attack this alchemy shop. Especially with the help of the upcoming alchemy conference, the reputation of lead and gold will be stinky...... Business competition has gone a little too far. Sergei sighed.

Ji Ran couldn't help but look at him: "...... Professor, you have a stake in this store, right? ”

Sergei glared: "Can't you have shares?" This shop was originally opened by me and Solan, but then I accepted the invitation of Azure Wind to become a professor of alchemy there, and left the store to Solan to take care of alone, and my stake was reduced a lot. However, the store still has my copy! I can't allow my alchemy shop to be slandered and insulted so badly! ”

Ji Ran spread his hands: "But the problem is, we are not locals, so we don't know who is making trouble...... Although I heard some possibilities yesterday, they are only possibilities, and I can't do it for sure. ”

When Sergei heard Ji Ran's words, he also sighed deeply: "That's right, we only know some possibilities, and there is no evidence to show that these things were done at the behest of some people." So, we can't do anything right now. ”

Ji Ran also knew that things had come to this point, and he and the others could hardly help. What can you do? Find Solankris and ask them who is the biggest suspect, and then hit the door? Just kidding, what power do they have to do that? This is the capital of the Liber Kingdom, and the strong are like clouds, and their own strength is not enough for others to pinch casually!

Moreover, this is a commercial dispute, and if you knock on the door, then even if it is justified, it will immediately become unreasonable. Perhaps, the other side is waiting for lead and gold to do this.

Although the other party also uses means other than business, if you can't catch the evidence, you can't do anything about the other party. And if you knock on the door, you will only have to stick the two words of evidence on your face.

"Faced with this kind of thing, I discussed it with Solan for a long time. In the end, I think that the real strength will break a qiΔ“ rumor! Sergei's tone was categorical.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ So you decided to entrust the explorer to the Lead & Gold Shop to sell it? I believe that this approach will definitely save a lot of reputation for lead and gold, right? Ji Ran immediately guessed Sergei's plan.

"This is just one of them. You know, explorers are not something that ordinary people can afford, only those who are nobles or big businessmen can afford to use them. And although these people can make an alchemy shop get quite a lot of orders, in fact, those idle customers are the main source of income for the alchemy shop. ”

Ji Ran naturally understands this truth. You are an ordinary city, you can't always expect someone to make a batch to maintain the source of customers, right?

"So, we also need to express to ordinary people the power of lead and gold. For example...... In the alchemy competition, get a good ranking. Sergei looked at Ji Ran and smiled slightly.

Ji Ran suddenly felt a little wrong: "No, professor, do you want to ......?"

"That's right, I just want you to participate in that alchemy competition. Alchemists under the age of 20 can participate, and if they achieve a good ranking, they will also be awarded the trophy of alchemy rookie by the Liber Alchemy Association, and a large number of precious materials...... Don't you think this is a good opportunity? ”

Ji Ran made a bitter face: "Professor Sergei, don't you know my alchemy level?" It's okay to talk about theory, but it's ...... in practice."

"In practice, you're no worse than anyone else." Sergei interrupted Ji Ran's words and looked at him with both eyes, "Your clothes, those bracers, your boots, and your sword...... It's all magic items, right? Don't tell me, these things are all you can buy in the market. ”

Ji Ran smiled bitterly. It's strange that the alchemy items in your body are not seen by the alchemy master in front of you. Although he has tried his best to cover it up, it is still a little unrealistic to hide it from an alchemy master.

"It's true that I refined it myself, but the refining level of these things is still very shallow......" Ji Ran had to be modest. He didn't really want to participate in that alchemy contest - what fun was there to stand on the stage like a monkey and let others see it with other monkeys, as he wanted?

"It's shallow compared to our old men! Actually, if nothing else, it was your dress, which surprised me very much. You know, except for some special materials, like dragon skins or other monster skins, refining clothes has never been easy...... Armor is much simpler. You're pretty good at making this dress what it looks like it is. I think there are very few alchemists of the same grade who can reach your current level. ”

Sergei has a high opinion of Ji Ran. It is true that Ji Ran's ability to refine these things is indeed far from his peers...... The magic weapon of the clothing type is not a small number in the game.

"But my alchemy has a lot of flaws, such as alchemy potions or something......" Ji Ran is still trying his best to shirk this opportunity.

"It's okay, the alchemy potion has Kress. Alchemy competitions are also divided into many types, and there is a famous saying in the alchemy world that although omnipotence is a good thing, specialization has always been easier to achieve the highest achievement. People in the alchemy world believe that it is normal for alchemists to have one or two weaknesses. Sergei seemed to have eaten Ji Ran.

Ji Ran struggled for a while, and finally gave up.

"Alright then, I'll give it a try...... That so-called alchemy contest. (To be continued......)
