Final Priesthood

 Chapter 448 Ellis Trade Plaza, Origin Breath Worms and Bismuth Iron Ore

 It’s not impossible.

Lu Yuan looked out of the suspended car window in the direction of the community where Xu Mingguang’s family used to live, and said lightly:

“Can a few living people disappear out of thin air in this era?”

 Lu Feng, who was in the driver's seat, had an expressionless face and did not answer.

Lu Yuan knew very well that Lu Feng understood the meaning of his words.

He didn’t believe that Lu Feng had any clues about the whereabouts of Xu Mingguang’s family. The main thing was whether he was willing to take the trouble to investigate.

 Obviously, Lu Feng didn’t really want to waste his energy on this matter.

 Lu Yuan knew this, but was helpless.

 Lu Feng is not one of his own, so it is okay to ask him to do some small things for him, but it is impossible to do his best.

In District 33, under a huge gray-white arch, outside the bustling crowd, a hover car stopped quietly.

 “Ellis Thule Trade Square.”

 Seeing Xu Mingguang's current performance, he was even less anxious.

 Let’s go back and figure it out on our own.

These various factors combined make the market in front of us even more lively.

 “Hill Energy Mechanical Components!”

If even Xu Mingguang can detect the mystery of the golden Rubik's Cube, then with his current strength, possessing the Rubik's Cube can only be considered a crime.

Lu Yuan thought about this clearly, took out his personal terminal and sent an address to Lu Feng in the driver's seat, then closed his eyes and leaned lightly on the seat.

Under the huge light blue energy protection dome, drones buzzed around, scattering advertising flyers all over the sky.

 Fifteen minutes later.

Following the crowd and passing through the iconic white stone arch at the entrance of the market, you can see stalls lined up on both sides of the crowd, with large and small neon signs flashing incessantly.

“If you want to buy something, Master, you don’t have to come to a place like this in person.”

Lu Yuan answered casually, then opened the door and got out of the car.

The Thule family has also become one of the top aristocratic families on the planet, and received the title of earl and nobleman earlier.

Lu Yuan hummed softly and walked towards the market.

 “Lao Tao’s boutique pharmacy store, you’ll pay three for every fake one!”

 In the driver's seat, Lu Feng spoke.

 “Let’s go to the next place.”

“This kind of place is full of fish and dragons, and there are many thieves and robbers. Master, remember to be careful.”

 After all, his duty is only to supervise and protect himself.

 It is meaningless to verbally scold the other person for a few words.

In the future, using your strength to subdue him and make him willingly bow his head in front of you would be the right way to vent your anger.

 In fact, he doesn’t have to get the Rubik’s Cube now.

 If I am careful myself, what else do I want you to do?

Lu Yuan was quite dissatisfied when Lu Feng didn't do his best to deal with Xu Mingguang's matter before. He originally wanted to say something to him directly, but thought about it and decided against it.

Lu Feng obviously paused after receiving the address, but without saying a word, he started the hover car and rushed towards the destination.

 “Beautiful clothes and beauty care, store expiration date, clearance sale, 10% off everything!”

He saw colorful statues of different shapes standing around the entrance to the huge market arch, with various flags and signs of different sizes hanging from the top, and energy barriers shimmering all around.

 To this day, Ellis Tule Market has become the largest trade and trading square in Metropolis 2045.

There are so many things about him that can make ordinary people change their lives against the odds, including the Rubik's Cube.

Lu Yuan gently read the name of the place in front of him.

Mingming Lu Yuan got off the car first, but when he got off the car, Lu Feng was already standing in front of him, looking around with an indifferent expression.

 “I’ve never been here before, I just walked around casually, and I didn’t have to buy anything.”

 Originally, he was just a poor boy from the slums of District 72 of Metropolis No. 2045. Later, he started from scratch and built a large business.

He was just curious about the golden Rubik's Cube, not that he had to get it.

 In a place like this, it is really a rare thing to see an expensive hover car.

 These are the cultural symbols of different ethnic groups and races in different regions of Duoling.

never mind.

It is said that the market in front of you was founded by a man named Ellis Toole. This guy is also a legend.

This can also be seen from the current flow of people. Many people going in and out of the market are wearing all kinds of strange clothes that Lu Yuan has never seen before, and they speak with an accent that is completely different from the official Duoling dialect.

 In the suspended car, Lu Yuan arrived at his destination and was quietly looking at the market in front of him.

　　The shiny new outer shell of the suspended vehicle and the conspicuous logo on the front of the vehicle attracted the attention of passers-by.

Directly opposite, a mechanical lucky cat with a height of several hundred meters shook its paws and spewed out large clouds of steam. One of the two giant cat eyes lit up "Dadu" and the other side lit up "Department Store".

There are also small manned aircrafts swinging in mid-air, with "Landis Travel Agency" banners hanging on their butts.

From time to time, some fruit peels and **** would fall down, causing the people below to yell and curse at their heads.

 “It’s so lively.”

 The road is far away and I can’t help but sigh softly.

 It’s more lively than visiting the vegetable market at six or seven in the morning on the home planet.

 He casually turned off the air purification function on his clothes, and immediately smelled a strong smell of sour odor mixed with various spices.

 Muddy.

 But it was full of fireworks that he had never experienced before.

Lu Yuan did not dislike the smell, and even felt a little like returning to his home planet.

He glanced at everything around him casually and walked forward carelessly.

Lu Feng, as a bodyguard, followed closely behind him.

 As Lu Feng said before, there are many pickpockets in this kind of place.

Walking along the main road in the center of the market, Lu Feng at least helped Lu Yuan solve seven or eight troubles, both big and small, that came straight to him.

 When the road reached the first fork, Lu Yuan finally stopped.

 He turned around and looked at Lu Feng behind him.

 “Have you brought any coins?”

Lu Feng was startled for a moment, then nodded and took out a thumb-sized, golden coin from his pocket.

Lu Yuan took it and glanced at it.

  It is a very common Duoling coin.

 The national emblem of the Duoling Empire is printed on the front.

 A pattern that includes a scepter, a nebula, and a double-headed eagle, which represent authority, mystery, and strength respectively.

 The reverse side is the face value of the coin, five yuan.

In this era, too few people carry cash with them when going out, and even fewer people carry coins with them.

Lu Yuan noticed that there were obvious signs of wear on the edge of the coin in his hand. It seemed that Lu Feng had the habit of playing with coins in his hand from time to time.

 “It’s a very pretentious little habit”

Lu Yuan thought and threw the coin upwards.

As the golden coin rotated in mid-air, drawing a beautiful parabola, Lu Yuan's eyes as he stared at the coin were quietly covered with a cloud of gray mist.

 When the coin fell back into his hand, the gray fog in Lu Yuan's eyes had receded.

 The revelation that I want to seek has already floated in my heart.

 “Let’s go.”

Lu Yuan naturally chooses a direction and welcomes the landing wind to continue moving forward.

 I asked Lu Feng to borrow the coins, but he had no intention of returning them.

In this way, we walked and stopped all the way, occasionally stopping at a stall to buy a few gadgets.

 From potions produced in private workshops with unknown ingredients, to rusty mecha parts plucked from unknown sources.

 Then to small handmade folk crafts, and finally to clay pots, metal bottles, insect sloughs... and even silk scarves for women.

“This is a good gift for Lu Qiyuan, it matches her very well.”

Lu Yuan held a large green scarf with rough workmanship and gaudy colors. He looked at it in his hand while smiling and talking to Lu Feng beside him.

 Lu Feng, who had been the bag-carrying man and the bill-paying man all the way, heard a strong sense of ridicule in Lu Yuan's words, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he said nothing. He found that Lu Yuan really seemed to be wandering around with nothing to do.

 Not just buying things randomly, even the route forward is determined by tossing a coin.

Throwing a coin at every fork in the road, until now, I'm afraid even he himself doesn't know where he is in the market.

 Completely do whatever you want.

He casually threw the big green scarf that he bought specially for Lu Qiyuan as a "gift" to Lu Feng and continued to move forward.

With a seemingly calm and leisurely demeanor, his eyes kept scanning back and forth at the stalls on both sides.

 Like searching for something.

“Twelve divination times in a row should be enough.”

Lu Yuan thought silently in his heart.

After walking a little further, Lu's eyes fell on a stall called "Cicino Fine Grocery".

The stall is very small, and half of the neon lights on the sign are broken. Only four of the seven-character signboard are glowing.

The stall owner was a skinny old man wearing a greasy and dirty robe that had not been washed for an unknown amount of time and the original color could hardly be seen.

Hands crossed while picking his teeth, looking quite sloppy and vulgar.

When Lu Yuan's eyes fell on the old man, the latter's eyes immediately lit up and he stood up from the chair.

An old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, waving warmly to Lu Yuan from all the way.

He should have been secretly paying attention to Lu Yuan for a long time.

Indeed, with Lu Yuan’s attire and elegant style, as well as his bold style of randomly throwing coins around along the way, it was difficult for the merchants on the entire street not to pay attention to him.

 Everyone is eagerly waiting for Lu Yuan to come and visit.

Lu Yuan glanced briefly at the old man's stall, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he walked straight towards the stall.

 As Lu Yuan got closer step by step, the smile on the old man’s face bloomed brighter and brighter.

As soon as Lu Yuan came up, he immediately greeted him warmly.

“What do you want to buy, distinguished guest? Even though my store is small, I have everything.”

 “Are there any level 10 mechas?”

"Well"

Lu Yuan's words stopped the smile on the old man's face. Then he lowered his head and said calmly: "I just want to take a look."

 “Okay, dear distinguished guest, feel free to watch...”

 The old man laughed dryly and said nothing more.

"What is this?"

Lu Yuan casually picked up a thumb-sized object from the stall, black and hard like bone and stone, and asked the old man.

 The old man hesitated for a moment and replied: "Fossils.

  I don’t know what kind of fossil it is. "

After the old man finished speaking, Lu Feng, who was standing behind Lu Yuan, coughed lightly.

Lu Yuan seemed unaware, nodded, put the black thing aside and said: "I want it, let's figure it out later."

"good!"

A huge surprise suddenly appeared on the old man's face, and even the tone of his speech could not help but rise a few degrees.

I had guessed that the young master from the aristocratic family in front of me was being taken advantage of, but I didn't expect that he would be taken advantage of like this.

The previous sentence "Are there any level 10 mechas?" almost fooled him, and I thought it was not easy to deceive.

Beside him, Lu Feng, who had just made a sound to remind him, his expression finally turned dull.

 At this time, Lu Yuan had already picked up the second thing.

This time it was a bottle of dark green potion. Through the bottle, you could see that the liquid inside was quite turbid, with a lot of sediment suspended in it.

What attracted Lu Yuan to this thing was that he noticed that it seemed to contain a trace of life energy, which might help restore the original body.

 “What is this?”

“Exclusive secret medicine that can maintain health, heal injuries, strengthen the body, and aphrodisiac”

  The old man said quickly: "Energy production, if you want more, I can give you a big discount."

 Lu Yuan picked up the bottle and put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while. This time, he took the initiative to ask Lu Feng for his opinion.

 “Is there something similar on the market?”

"Too much."

Lu Feng replied expressionlessly: "With similar effects, whether it is health products or medicines, you can find a hundred products in any drugstore that are ten times more effective than this one."

“Guest, what you said is a bit exaggerated.”

The old man looked a little ugly. He was about to explain that his potion was different from other potions on the market. It was an exclusive secret formula.

　　I said "oh" when I was far away and put the things back.

 “Then don’t do it.”

The old man's face twitched slightly, and he wanted to take a look at Lu Feng, who was ruining his good deeds, but was frightened by Lu Feng's cold eyes and was so frightened that he shrank back and didn't even dare to fart.

Lu Yuan also asked casually.

He could probably guess that there would be a lot of similar potions on the market, but he had never paid much attention to them before, and now he happened to come across them.

Lu Yuan’s eyes swept over the items in front of him one by one.

When he crossed an irregular-shaped dark green ball, his eyes trembled slightly, and there was an inexplicable throbbing feeling in his heart.

found it.

 【Chaos Divination】guided him all the way around, and the final destination should be this.

Lu Yuan gently picked up the dark green ball and put it in front of his eyes to look at it.

This thing is actually a stone if you look closely.

 Oh no, to be precise, it should be ore.

 There are some black metal substances exposed in the gray-white rock mass.

However, both the metal inside and the rock surrounding the metal are all sealed by a dark green substance that resembles amber gel on the outside.

 At first glance.

 It's also a bit like some kind of special handicraft.

"What's this?"

Lu Yuan asked the old man for the third time.

  The old man replied honestly: "Bismuth iron ore, raw ore."

“It should be said that it is a waste mine.”

Lu Feng’s voice came in coldly.

 The old man moved his mouth, wanting to say something, but he looked helpless and did not refute.

 “Bismuth iron ore..”

Lu Yuan looked at the irregular ball in his hand and asked Lu Feng with interest.

 “What does abandoned mine mean?”

Lu Feng replied calmly: "It means that it is impossible to extract bismuth iron from this bismuth iron ore.

 It was completely covered and corroded by the body fluids of the source of worms, completely losing any use value. "

  “Nor.”

The old stall owner couldn't help but retort: ​​"There is still a way to refine it, it's just a little troublesome."

  “It’s very troublesome.”

Lu Feng said coldly: "The cost of refining is more than ten times higher than its own value.

 The quality of the extracted ferro-bismuth will also shrink significantly.

 In addition, the body fluids of the source of worms contain highly toxic substances, which will incur secondary refining and processing costs.

Unless it is bismuth gold that is extremely valuable, no one will go through the trouble of finding such waste mines to extract bismuth metal. "

 “How do you know so much about this?”

Lu Yuan was quite surprised by Lu Feng’s introduction to popular science, which was like a treasure trove of knowledge.

The next second, Lu Feng glanced at him and said calmly: "I majored in mechanical biochemistry in college, and the research topic of my graduation thesis was how to solve the problem of refining bismuth metal ore contaminated by the body fluids of the worms."

"Well"
