The essence of formation is a substance that is added to weapons in the refining process to make them glow with fire. The alchemist explains that he can sell this substance at a price of 100K square crystal. He says that if he sells more weapons, he will be able to smelt more of the substance and use it to make more weapons. He also says that he is going to buy a core of a scorpion lion, which hasn't existed for years. The refining process is much easier than the smelting process, he says, and he's going to be the one to get the core of the scorpion lion. He's also going to bid 70K square crystals on the core, which isn't as much as he expected, but he doesn't mind. The weapon store is full of upper-tier weapons, and the man who wants to buy them is not willing to accept the price. The man who is looking for the upper-grade weapons says that the price is too high for him, but the man selling the weapons at the store says he'll take the rest of the weapons for free. He adds that he will sell them at auction centers when the time comes. He wonders if the two secret hideouts are secret che daozi hideouts for keeping treasures.
