Jiang Chuan stayed in the city for two days. During those two days, he wandered around the city during the day and came back at night to sort out intelligence. He had already gotten a pretty good grasp of the basic situation of Molten Fire City.

The city was much bigger than he had imagined.

There are hundreds of resident ethnic groups alone, and the number of transient populations is countless.

You could throw a brick on the street and it would hit seven or eight level eight cultivators. Occasionally, you could catch a glimpse of one or two auras that made his heart tremble. Those were definitely true experts at the Divine Ascension Realm.

At this moment, he was leaning against the bed, holding a dark red molten coin in his hand, his fingertips exerting a slight pressure.

The coin-sized crystal twirled between his fingers, its surface shimmering with a faint, crimson glow.

He only discovered the true purpose of this currency yesterday.

[A crystal capable of absorbing energy has been detected. Should it be converted into empirical value?]

One Molten Coin can be converted into 10,000 experience points.

This discovery greatly surprised and delighted Jiang Chuan.

He needs hundreds of millions of experience points to level up now, so one or two Molten Coins are obviously not enough, but that thing is money in itself!

As long as he can find a stable way to acquire Molten Coins, he will have both wealth and upgrade resources.

one stone two bird.

It's a huge profit, no loss at all.

The only question is how to make money?

The tavern downstairs from the hotel is the most well-informed place in the area.

Jiang Chuan pushed open the creaking wooden door and went inside. He casually found a corner to sit down, ordered the cheapest Flame Wine, and sipped it slowly, but his ears were perked up, trying to catch every useful conversation around him.

"Have you heard? The Molten River in the north erupted again. Those bastards from the Ironhorn Clan made a fortune, yielding over 30,000 Molten Coins in one go!"

"Over 30,000? Damn! I don't earn that much in a whole year!"

"If you're so capable, why don't you go there yourself! That monstrous place, the River of Molten Fire, is so hot that even an eighth-tier cultivator can't withstand it, let alone those lava monsters in the river. Last year, the Fire Demon Clan itself lost more than a dozen refiners!"

Jiang Chuan paused slightly in the hand holding the wine glass.

River of Molten Fire?

A refiner?

He continued to listen in and gradually pieced together the whole story.

original,

The source of Molten Coins is the Molten River.

The River of Molten Fire is a special river that exists in this region.

What flows in the river is not magma, but a liquid flame containing extremely high energy density. This liquid flame can be condensed into solidified crystals under specific refining methods.

That is, Molten Coins!

"No wonder this thing can be directly converted into experience points."

Jiang Chuan understood.

Molten Coins are crystals of high-purity energy, similar to Breakthrough Pills!

As for the Fire Demon Clan, which monopolizes the River of Molten Fire, they are among the top five holy blood races in this region, and it is said that they have more than a handful of Divine Realm experts guarding their territory.

They rely on this monopolistic business to control the operation of dozens of molten rivers of varying sizes around Molten City.

Outsiders who want to enter and refine the product must pay a high fee per day.

"That's interesting."

Jiang Chuan gulped down the last mouthful of Flaming Wine, then got up and paid the bill.

By evening, he had already appeared near a molten river outside the south of the city.

It is said to be a river.

It's more like a fiery fissure stretching across the earth.

The fissure was about a hundred feet wide and its length was endless. On both sides were charred and cracked rock layers, and a dazzling reddish-gold light surged in the fissure, which was the color emitted by liquid flames as they flowed.

The air was distorted violently by the scorching heat, and the ground within a radius of several miles was trembling slightly. Occasionally, a low rumble came from the depths of the cracks, as if some kind of giant beast was turning over in the depths of the earth.

Jiang Chuan stood at the edge of the crack and looked down.

A wave of scorching heat hit you, carrying a strong smell of sulfur. For an ordinary person, this heat alone would be enough to burn through their respiratory tract.

However, with his physical attributes reaching 70,000 points, this level of high temperature was similar to taking a sauna for him.

It even felt a little comfortable.

A long queue had already formed at the entrance to the river.

To be precise.

It was a group of different races queuing up.

At the entrance stood a group of humanoid creatures engulfed in dark red flames.

Fire Demon Clan.

They were two heads taller than ordinary humans.

Its skin was charred black, covered with cracked flame patterns, and tiny sparks kept flying out from its joints.

The leader was a mid-stage eighth-tier fire demon, standing at the entrance with his arms crossed. His fiery eyes swept over the queuing crowd, his tone full of contempt and impatience.

"Listen up! Seventh-tier river passage: 500 per day; eighth-tier river passage: 1000 per day. Pay up to enter, or get out now!"

Jiang Chuan walked to the end of the line, where several alien races in front of him were complaining quietly.

"Damn it, the price has gone up again. Last month, the eighth-level river channel was only 850 yuan a day, and it's already 1,000 yuan in just a few days?"

"Sigh, what can we do? They have the Fierce Dragon Clan backing them up!"

"A thousand it is fine. As long as I'm lucky, I can refine 1,200 or 1,300 a day and break even. I can even make a little profit."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan silently did some mental calculations.

Refining Molten Coins requires a special skill, which he has already learned in advance by spending one hundred Molten Coins.

The efficiency of refining this skill is related to the intelligence attribute.

Under normal circumstances, an ordinary eighth-tier alien race member has an intelligence attribute of around six to seven thousand points and can refine thirteen to fifteen hundred molten fire coins per day.

After deducting the cost of 1,000 yuan, the net profit is only 300 to 500 yuan.

The profit margin is indeed not high.

But those were ordinary alien races.

His intelligence attribute has now exceeded 70,000.

Ten times that of an eighth-tier alien race!

Even disregarding the cheat code of "extracting everything", how much could he earn in a day just by relying on the efficiency of conventional refining?

Jiang Chuan was already quite impatient.

It was his turn in the queue soon. Jiang Chuan deftly counted out a thousand Molten Coins from his backpack and slapped them on the table.

The Fire Demon Clan leader glanced at him again.

But I didn't ask any more questions.

All sorts of strange and unusual races exist within the Four Domains. It's not important that Jiang Chuan doesn't want to remove his disguise. He only cares about collecting money, and he doesn't care whether the people who go in are human or ghost.

The other person casually tossed him a wooden plaque engraved with fire runes: "This is your pass. Take it in, and you must come out twelve hours later. Otherwise, the patrol will mistake you for an illegal immigrant, and you'll face the consequences!"

Jiang Chuan took the wooden plaque, hung it back on his waist, and stepped into the entrance of the crevice.

A wave of intense heat hit us.

This is an extremely open underground space, with a dome hanging dozens of feet high, and below it is the molten river surging with crimson-gold light.

Bubbles the size of fists kept rising on the surface of the river.

The moment the bubbles burst, streams of pure flame energy spread out, enveloping the entire underground space in a thin, faint crimson-gold mist.

The banks of the river have been transformed into refining areas, with a refining platform protruding from the riverbank every hundred steps or so, and special refining arrays engraved on the surface of the platform.

Jiang Chuan found a refining station located in the back.

Sit cross-legged.

He didn't rush to take action, but first observed the other refiners on both sides of the river.

On the refining platform closest to him sat an eighth-tier fire lizard.

It was closing its eyes and concentrating, its two claws hovering three feet above the river surface.

It operates using some special method.

The crimson-gold mist surging on the river was drawn by the Dharma, slowly flowing between its claws like a thin line of fire, condensing into a small vortex of flame in its palm.

The vortex gradually compressed.

Gradually solidifying.

About a minute later, a complete Molten Coin fell out of the vortex and landed in its paw.

The fire lizard wiped his sweat, stuffed the molten fire coins into the leather pouch at his waist, and continued refining them with his eyes closed.

"One."

Jiang Chuan withdrew his gaze, having made up his mind.

The fire lizard's intelligence attribute is around 8,000 points. It can refine one fire lizard per minute, so at most it can only refine about 1,500 fire lizards per day.

A 1,000 yuan entrance fee will be deducted.

I made a net profit of over 500.

This is still due to the advantage of being a fire-type race.

For other races, they would have to expend extra mana to resist the high temperatures of the molten river, making the refining efficiency even lower.

But he's different.

Jiang Chuan silently circulated his mental energy according to the requirements of that refining skill.

[Basic Refining Method: S-rank. Uses mental power to guide the energy in the molten river to crystallize it. The basic refining amount is 10 crystals per hour, and the final efficiency is adjusted according to the intelligence attribute.]

The base quantity is ten.

In addition, there is a correction factor of 74000+ for the Intelligence attribute.

It's about 600 coins per hour, so you can make about 15,000 coins a day. After deducting the cost of 1,000 yuan, you make a net profit of 14,000 coins.

This profit is more than ten times higher than that of most refiners.

But Jiang Chuan was not satisfied.

At 10,000 yuan a day, that's only 300,000 to 400,000 yuan a month. It'll take forever to save enough to buy the Source Essence...

"Try that one."

He raised his hand, no longer using the refining technique, but instead simply hovering his palm above the river surface.

Extracting everything.

launch!

hum! !

A blinding golden light, visible only to him, exploded from his palm, plunging straight into the churning crimson-gold river like a golden chain.

The next second, a torrent of energy so dense it was almost tangible surged into his body along the golden chains.

[Extraction successful! 1 Molten Essence obtained!]

[Essence of Molten Core: SS-grade item, a pure energy core condensed deep within the Molten River, which can be directly decomposed into 1300 Molten Coins!]
