Taikoo Star Emperor

Chapter 180 The Weird Furnace
The moment Luo Chen and the others entered the ancient city, they heard a burst of helpless discussions, but this burst of discussions gave them a burst of energy.

"Hey, it seems that the ultimate competition is here, and there is still a key that has not been found. It seems that we have no chance with the treasures of the ancient city."

"Damn it, I found three out of four, but I couldn't find one. That's too annoying."

"I heard that the ancient city's treasure is the biggest treasure in the ruins. It would be a pity if you can't find it."

"That can't be helped. Prince Luo Canglin of Luoyang Kingdom has offered a huge reward for a month, but no one has been able to find the key. It is estimated that the possibility of finding it is not high."

"..."

Following the sound, those people gradually went away.

In Luochen's eyes, there was a hint of excitement.

These words undoubtedly revealed an important piece of news to him—the treasures of the ancient city have not yet been opened.

Thinking of the key in the ring, he faintly felt that this seemed to be his chance.

Immediately, he took Chu Xinyue and the other five and continued walking towards the city.

Soon after, they came to the most crowded place in the ancient city - a small square.

There are a total of [-] warriors from various countries who have entered the ruins, and there may be less than [-] people who have been injured and are still alive.

And those who can come to the ancient city may be less than two thousand.

Today, most of these people gather in this small square.

On the one hand, the ultimate contest is about to begin, and this is the last meeting place before the ultimate contest.

On the other hand, the treasure of the ancient city is in this ancient city, and they all still hope that the treasure can be opened.

However, although they were waiting, the warriors gathered here were not idle.

Being able to enter or walk here from the ruins, each of them has more or less gained a lot.

Among those gains, some can be used, but some are not suitable for my own use.

Therefore, in line with the idea of ​​maximizing the use of resources in their hands, they spontaneously formed a trading market.

Here, they can sell their useless things and buy useful things from others.

As for the transaction method, it can be bartered or bought with money.

This can also be regarded as the practice of every Hundred Nations Competition.

When Luo Chen and the others entered the small square, they saw such an extremely lively scene.

However, Luo Chen's attention was immediately attracted by a notice on the stone tablet in the center of the square.

It was a notice offering a reward, and the general content was to offer a reward for the key to the treasure of the ancient city.

Whoever can provide clues about the treasure key, or take out the treasure key, will be rewarded with [-] star primordial stones.

The signature of the notice is Luo Yangguo.

The moment he saw the notice, Luo Chen's eyes lit up suddenly.

In the center of the notice was a picture of a treasure key, a golden key half a foot long.

This pattern is exactly the same as the key in Luochen's ring!
Luochen was finally sure that his key was the key to unlock the treasure.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he was not in a hurry to find those martial artists from Luoyang Kingdom, but turned around and walked towards the trading market beside him.

Based on the relationship between him and the warriors of Luoyang Kingdom, he didn't need to look for Luo Canglin at all, because the warriors of Luoyang Kingdom would find him in a short time.

Therefore, he also wanted to take advantage of this time to go shopping and see if he could find some useful treasures.

The small square was almost full of stalls, large and small.

Many warriors have laid out things that they don't need, waiting for the past warriors to ask.

Of course, the martial artist who dared to do this must have good strength, otherwise those things would have been snatched away by others.

Luo Chen started from the first booth and looked over one by one.

After a while, he stopped at a booth.

This booth is very simple, just a piece of white cloth with seven or eight items scattered on it.

And what attracted Luo Chen's attention was a refining furnace.

As a refiner, he still doesn't have a furnace of his own, so since he encountered it, he naturally wanted to take a look.

"This refining furnace, can I have a look?" Luo Chen knelt down and looked at the stall owner.

Behind him, Chu Xinyue and the others also stopped, waiting for him.

The stall owner was a fat man who looked a bit simple and honest. When he saw a business coming, he immediately smiled and nodded, "Yes, you can look at it as you like."

Luo Chen nodded, picked up the refining furnace, and looked at it carefully.

The refining furnace is pitch-black in color as a whole, and it looks like it is made of pig iron. At the widest part of the furnace body, there are some strange and incomprehensible patterns engraved on it.

However, those patterns are not clear, and there are some deformations in some places, which makes this refining furnace look like a defective product.

Such a refining furnace would not look too high in grade.

But Luo Chen still mobilized a group of stars to probe in. What really determines the grade of the refining furnace is not the appearance, but the number of runes inside the refining furnace.

However, as Xingyuan turned in the refining furnace, his brows could not help but wrinkled.

There are only six runes in this refining furnace.

If calculated, this can only be regarded as a third-tier refining furnace at best.

This level is undoubtedly a bit low for him now.

Shaking his head in disappointment, he immediately wanted to put down the refining furnace.

But at the moment when he was about to let go, the star element he was circulating in the refining furnace touched an obstacle.

That feeling, as if something blocked Xing Yuan, preventing Xing Yuan from continuing to explore the refining furnace.

This moved his heart, and he continued to pretend to look at the refining furnace.

But his Xingyuan tried to break through the shackles of that barrier, wanting to explore the secrets of this refining furnace.

However, no matter how many stars he injected, he still couldn't break through that barrier.

In desperation, he had no choice but to take back the star yuan, and gently placed the refining furnace on the booth.

He was afraid that if he looked at it for too long, it would arouse the suspicion of the stall owner.

However, the abnormality just now made him decide to buy this refining furnace and study it slowly after returning home.

"I can barely use a third-tier refining furnace." Luo Chen said, turning his gaze to the stall owner, "Let's make a price!"

"For a fifth-tier sword, or 20 taels of gold." The stall owner said with a simple and honest smile.

Luo Chen frowned, "Although the alchemy furnace is more expensive than weapons, a third-level refining furnace is only equivalent to a fourth-level weapon, and your refining furnace still has obvious flaws. You have a fourth-tier sword, if it doesn’t work, forget it.”

With that said, he stood up.

He can easily take out the fifth-level sword, and he has won a lot of spoils along the way.

But if he agrees too happily, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the stall owner, so that's the only way to go.

"Okay." Seeing Luo Chen get up, the stall owner smiled and agreed directly.
