Chapter 10 Cut Iron Like Mud (1)
(Do you have any love for the new cover? I only knew the origin of the picture before. I was shocked and changed it quickly!)

———————————————————————————————
Ge Zheng's heart moved. The appearance of this iron block was very similar to a rare metal. He hurriedly used an identification technique, which indeed showed that the sea was sinking iron.
Sea-sink iron is one of the hardest metals in the world. It is known as the three rare metals together with pure gold and dense silver. However, sea-sink iron is different from dense silver. Secret silver is a "sharp" weapon. If an ordinary weapon is added with a little dense silver, it can become a magic weapon that cuts iron like mud. However, sea-sink iron is a "solid" weapon, and is mostly used in protective gear. If ordinary armor is added with one percent of sea-sink iron, it can be increased several times when it is put in profit.
This precious metal looks no different from ordinary black iron, but there are water-shaped patterns on the surface, which is the only feature that can be identified from the appearance.
Such a large piece of sea-sinking iron is enough to build a round shield. Ge Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's sea-sinking iron. How much do you plan to sell?" He thought this person was here to buy materials, but he didn't expect that the man shook his head: "I'm not here to sell materials, I just want to ask you if there is a way to create a weapon that can cut it off."
Ge Zheng was stunned. It was no longer easy to break the protective gear that usually added sea-sinking iron, let alone a whole piece of sea-sinking iron. Ge Zheng knew the sturdyness of this thing. The man said generously: "As long as you can build it, the price will be available." Ge Zheng shook his head: "It is already at the level of a quasi-artifact that can cut off such a large piece of sea-sinking iron, and gold coins cannot be bought."
The man smiled heartily: "This is a master-level alchemist, very good! I knew that it was not possible for gold coins to ask a master-level alchemist to take action. So look at this."
Ge Zheng felt regretful in his heart. What he lacked was gold coins! Don’t say that the master-level alchemist cannot be used to invite gold coins. As long as you can give me ten thousand magic crystal coins, I will also refine the magical artifact for you!
Ge Zheng’s saying “Gold coins cannot be bought” means that you have to take out the “magic crystal coins”. Unexpectedly, the man misunderstood and thought Ge Zheng was a noble person.
Since he was misunderstood, Ge Zheng was embarrassed to change his words immediately. He made up his mind to see what the man took out before talking about it. If he didn't take the thing to his heart, even if he was shameless, he would ask him for magic crystal coins.
However, as soon as the man took action, Ge Zheng could not move his eyes away, leaving all the gold coins and magic crystal coins behind him.
There is only one thing that can make an alchemist obsessed with: the alchemy equation. Yes, this is exactly an alchemy equation. Unlike the general equation, this equation is engraved on a stone slab!
At first glance, the stone slab is carved very roughly, with simple lines and distinct dyeing contrasts, without a single transition, but Ge Zheng saw something subtle from it: the layout. The layout of the entire equation is very reasonable, and the picture is more like an abstract artwork rather than an equation. This is never among the equations that Ge Zheng had encountered before. Even the equations of Albert, the dragon alchemist collected by Parachelsus at that time, did not have this effect.
The man just took Ge Zheng a look and quickly took it back. Just a quick glance, Ge Zheng was able to confirm that this alchemy equation was very unusual.
"How is it, Master?" the man said a little proudly. Ge Zheng pondered for a moment and said to him: "How many days will I need to collect the materials." "No problem, I will give you seven days, and I will come again in seven days." "A word is determined!"
Ge Zheng no longer had the intention to do any herbal experiments. His mind was full of the stone equations. The patterns with rough lines and bright colors on it were added to Ge Zheng's mind like spells. No matter how he drove it away, it would be lingered.
Putting down everything at hand, Ge Zheng went out to purchase materials with a few crystal cards. It sounded like a long time to refine a quasi-artifact that could cut off the sea-sinking iron that was thick with arms, but time was not enough.
It seems that forging weapons should be done by blacksmiths. In fact, it is not that simple to forge a quasi-artifact. In addition to the coordination between various materials, there are also temperature control. In addition, there are other means to increase the sharpness, such as magic fusion, magic array overprinting, etc. This is not the dual-attribute long sword used by Ge Zheng to deal with Bomos, this is a real quasi-artifact!
Ge Zheng, the Horns alchemy materials store in the north gate, is already an old customer. Horns of the fairy tribe, has an ugly appearance, a thin and short figure, two big ears like bats, and a pair of frog-like eyes, and then put on the shriveled black-brown skin, which directly causes Horns to stop the child from crying at night.
Because of this appearance, Horns had few friends in Wangshan City, but Ge Zheng could talk to him a few words at that time. The two of them shared many common languages in the field of alchemy materials. Horns is worthy of being the most suitable fairy tribe on the mainland who is a businessman. Even though Ge Zheng is one of his few friends, he has never given him a copper coin.
"Thirty magic mosquito eggs, five magic cores of level 5 monsters, two kilograms of star sand, six kilograms of Burmese iron, half kilogram of coral copper, half kilogram of glazed chromium - how long can I prepare?"
Horns was stunned: "Why, Ge, are you planning to steal the old short man's business? Be careful, his warhammer is a bit tricky." Ge Zheng waved his hand: "Someone asked me to build a magic weapon." Horns was stunned: "What kind of weapons use so many high-quality materials for medicine." "Don't worry about so much, I just ask you, and you can prepare it if you spend more time."
Horns carried a small basket, pushed a ladder with wheels underneath, searched the shelves up and down, and threw it into the basket behind him, and after a while, he climbed down: "Here, it's all here. It's still half a kilogram of star sand and half a kilogram of coral copper. I'll look for it. If I can find it, I'll send it to you tomorrow. If I can't find it for the time being, I can only order it from outside, and it will take a long time to wait."
Ge Zheng nodded: "Calculate the accounts."
These materials are all high-end products, such as star sand, which is also an additive material in weapons. Even in Feiore's city-state weapon store, it is impossible to use two kilograms of star sand a year.
"There are 4,629 gold coins in total, and they are patronized by the patronage. No small business is on credit." The next two sentences are Horns' catchphrase. No matter who comes to patronize, they will say this.
This time, Ge Zheng bleed heavily, nearly 5,000 gold coins, which suddenly emptied all the money he had just saved. It was all for the stone equation. Ge Zheng counted the gold coins while praying in his heart: I hope that the thing is worth the money.
If he uses materials that can be bought in a small shop to refine a quasi-artifact, Ge Zheng can really look like Hermes, the god of alchemy. The reason why he is so confident is that he has another material in his hand: meteorite.
Unfortunately, there is only one piece. Last time I walked around more than a dozen Jue Ridges with Dunk, but I didn’t find a second meteorite.
Although the materials are insufficient, Ge Zheng can do some preparations today. The magic mosquito is a monster born like a mosquito. It is as big as a basketball. Although it is only of third level, its eggs are one of the best magic weapons. It is necessary to add magic mediums to increase the pro-demonic nature of the metal, and then engrave the magic array to create sharp magic weapons.
The magic core is used to provide magic power. The level is too low to support the magic power consumption of the quasi-divine artifact. If the level is too high, Ge Zheng cannot afford it. It is enough to have five of the fifth-level ones. In fact, choosing raw materials for refining magic weapons is not the better the higher the level, the better. If the level of the magic core is too high, the weapon cannot withstand huge magic power, it may instead shatter the weapon.
