The once every ten years "Refining Ceremony" is in full swing in the "Heavenly Fire Empire".

The "Tianhuo Empire" is the largest gathering place of refiners in the Douzhan Continent, and it is also a wholesale market for all kinds of refining ores, with thousands of miles of Tianhuo Mountains in the south, the eerie and terrifying swamp forest basin in the north, the Apocalypse Grand Canal for transportation in the west, and the famous Miqi mine in the east.

It is worth mentioning that the largest refining association in the Fighting Continent is also located in the "Heavenly Fire Empire", and a large number of refiners come here every year to apply for the "refiner's assessment".

Only the refiner who has been assessed by the Guò Alchemy Association will have his rank recognized by the world.

In addition, there is also one of the best "refining academies" in the "Heavenly Fire Empire", and those who have the dream of being a refiner can learn alchemy here that is enough to last a lifetime as long as they can afford the expensive tuition.

It is said that in the "Heavenly Fire Empire" there is still the legendary "Heavenly Rank Refiner".

The "Skyfire Empire" is also a place that many merchants like to visit, and there are plenty of equipment and styles here, and there will be a very considerable market for transportation to other empires.

Dongfang Xiuzhe and his entourage, it took nearly two days to finally come to the city where the "Refining Ceremony" was held-Kelai City!

"My God, there are so many people here, this is not inferior to Ziyang City, which is hosting the 'Imperial Academy Competition'!"

Fimisha said with emotion.

Although Kelai City is not the capital of the "Tianhuo Empire", because it is located on the transportation arteries extending in all directions, coupled with the vigorous development of the refining industry here, it has become the largest and most prosperous city of the "Tianhuo Empire".

It is worth mentioning that the "Guest City" is expanding at an alarming rate every year, and it has been predicted that in the next 30 years, it will be possible to develop into the area where the "Michi Mine" is located.

"It seems to be a lot more lively here than I thought!" Dongfang Xiuzhe had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"It's a lot of strange equipment, look at that guy's armor. How does it look like a hedgehog?" Thundertooth shouted, gesturing at a man walking through the crowd.

Dongfang Xiuzhe came to the "Refining Ceremony" this time, except for Yu Yanling, who did not follow, Fei Misha, Gu Meng, Li Erniu, Chenyue, Chenxing, Beilu, Wang Junqi, Lei Ya, Wushuang, and Lier all followed.

As for the Mu Rong faction and Mu Rongwen, they had already returned to the Tieqin Empire the day after the end of the "Imperial Academy Competition".

The streets of the city are full of vendors setting up stalls, which seems to have become a characteristic of this place.

On the stalls, the most sold ones are related to refining.

"Come and take a look, I have strange ores here. Friends who know the goods may wish to take a look. ”

"The equipment created by the famous refining master, although it is damaged, it does not affect the use, interested friends come to buy it, the quantity is limited, first come, first served!"

"Buy rare ores at a high price, don't disturb if you're not sincere!"

"Specializing in all kinds of daggers, it's a big sale at a bargain. ”

"This friend, at first glance, you are a person who knows the goods. Look at my bracer, it's a rarity, it's rumored to be...... Hey, friend. Don't go, if you're not interested, I have other good goods here!"

The sound of buying and selling is endless, which makes the already crowded streets even more lively.

In addition to these vendors. On both sides of the road, there are many ore shops, equipment stores, and weapons stores.

"Xiuzhe, help me take a look. How's this weapon?"

Lei Ya walked to a stall and picked up a weapon called the "Handguard Hidden Blade" and asked.

"It's okay to play with it, if it's a weapon, I advise you to save it!" Dongfang Xiuzhe smiled faintly.

"Little brother, what are you talking about, my 'Handguard Hidden Blade' is made of several expensive ores such as Flying Yellow Stone, Hundred Alchemy Steelstone, if it weren't for the slightest flaw in the position of this gauntlet, how could I sell it so cheaply, what you just said, I can't treat it as if I didn't hear it!"

The stall owner immediately began to argue.

You know, in his booth, there are still several customers who are undecided, how can the words of an ignorant teenager affect his business.

"Flying Yellow Stone?100 Alchemy Steel?" Dongfang Xiuzhe suddenly snorted coldly, but turned his head to Lei Ya and asked, "How much did he plan to sell you this commodity just now?"

"He said that he liked me a lot, and gave me a seven-fold discount and charged me 300,000 gold coins!" Lei Ya said busily, and at the same time realized in his heart that he might have been blinded by this stall owner.

But then again, the style of this "Handguard Hidden Blade" is quite delicate, for Lei Ya, 300,000 gold coins is nothing, if Dongfang Xiuzhe likes it, he will definitely buy it unceremoniously.

"300,000 gold coins, hehe, it's really ......"

Dongfang Xiuzhe did not finish his words, mainly to give the stall owner a face.

Lei Ya immediately understood, and hurriedly put the "Handguard Hidden Blade" back, even if he didn't believe in himself, he wouldn't disbelieve Dongfang Xiuzhe.

"Hey, wait a minute, you make it clear, it's okay not to buy it, what do you mean by deliberately slandering my goods like this?"

The stall owner glanced at Dongfang Xiuzhe and his party a few times, and after not seeing the badge symbolizing the identity of the refiner, he boldly asked.

The refiners who go to the "Kelai City" will basically wear the refiner badge on their bodies, not for display, but for their own personal interests.

You must know that whether it is a vendor or a shop owner, when dealing with refiners, they will be very enthusiastic, and they will not dare to fake, and in order to be able to have a good relationship with the refiner, they will even take the initiative to offer discounts.

Of course, this is just one of the benefits, and there are many more, such as:

When the refiner enters a restaurant, teahouse, restaurant, etc., he will enjoy priority reception and a discount on a certain number of dùs.

Soldiers responsible for maintaining law and order are not allowed to harass refiners lightly.

Business is automatically delivered to your door.

The items sold will rise in the tide.

......

It is precisely because of this series of benefits that the refiners who come here will wear the badge.

This trader, seeing that none of Dongfang Xiuzhe and his party were refiners, and looking at their outfits, they were from other empires, so he wanted to argue with them.

The controversy may not be fruitful, but it will definitely attract a lot of people to come and watch, and Cheng Dùshang will definitely make his stall attract attention.

"Which of your products do you think is worth slandering?"

Dongfang Xiuzhe sneered, he obviously saved face for this stall owner, but he didn't expect him to be so ignorant of current affairs.

"Hmph, you make it clear to me that these products of mine are from serious channels, are you sincere in finding fault with these words?"

The stall owner stared at the crowd around him, and he couldn't help but raise his voice.

Dongfang Xiuzhe glanced at him contemptuously, and snorted coldly: "I advise you not to humiliate yourself again!"

"You want to leave, how can I calculate my loss? I think you are the one who took the humiliation!"

Dongfang Xiuzhe's eyes changed, his wrist flicked, and the "Handguard Hidden Blade" was grabbed by him in his hand.

"Just this kind of garbage, you even plan to sell 300,000 gold coins, this is just the most common inferior iron slag after a simple treatment with light meltstone, used to cut fruit and make do, if you want to use it in battle, it is purely to find death. If you're still not convinced, I can sell you this kind of garbage for 30,000 gold coins, and I'll give you as much as you want, how about it?"

"You...... You talk nonsense!"

"Nonsense, it seems that you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin!"

Dongfang Xiuzhe suddenly snorted coldly, the light on his hand flashed, the "Alchemy Technique" had already been used, and the "Handguard Hidden Blade" in his hand suddenly showed its original form.

The layman looked at the excitement, and at this moment, the people around couldn't help but talk about it.

"What kind of black-hearted stall owner is this, he actually takes 'inferior iron slag' as shoddy, and unashamedly praises how good it is, isn't this a clear pit person!"

"Who said no, I originally looked at the appearance of this stall owner, and I thought he was an honest man, but I didn't expect it...... People, you really can't judge people by their appearance!"

"Where is this pit people, it is clearly harmful, for the sake of money, conscience is eaten by dogs, if anyone buys this kind of weapon, in the battle with a strong enemy, don't you even know how to die!"

"Phew, Lao Tzu hates this kind of profiteer the most!"

In an instant, there were bursts of shrill discussions from these people around him, which made the stall owner blush.

He never imagined that it would be such a result!

"You...... You're trying to frame me!"

He pointed to Dongfang Xiuzhe's nose, with a posture that he would not admit to it.

"It's ugly!"

I don't know when, a middle-aged uncle squatted in front of the stall, stared at the goods placed in the stall, and said in a deep voice.

Picking up a short sword, the middle-aged uncle looked at it carefully, and then said again: "This is really garbage, this kind of garbage dares to be conspicuous!"

"You...... Which green onion are you?"

The stall owner was about to say something nasty, but when he caught a glimpse of the badge on the middle-aged uncle's chest, he suddenly froze.

Alchemists, and not ordinary refiners!

The badge of the refiner will be fundamentally different from one rank to another, not only in the color of the appearance, but also in the pattern engraved on it.

The badge worn by this middle-aged uncle was all blue, and two intertwined small swords were engraved in the circle in the center, which was enough to indicate his identity - a second-grade refiner of the earth level.

In the "Heavenly Fire Empire", how noble the earth-level refiner was, how could a small stall vendor provoke him.

The stall owner was like eating fly droppings, and he suddenly didn't dare to say a word more.

This second-grade refiner of the ground level is the auditor of the "Refining Association", named Puke, and he has a rare day of leisure today, and he came out to shop, but he didn't expect him to encounter this kind of thing. (To be continued......)
