Xu Kuan told Lin Yuan honestly about his troubles, "When forests flanked Bronze Furnace City, we had an abundance of metal resources. Although we were not one of the top cities in the Radiance Federation, we were still considered average.
"But ever since the lava zone was formed, it became hard to harvest the metal resources, and the forests were burned into ash. After that, Bronze Furnace City took a long time to alter our commercial businesses. Things only started looking up two years ago when we started making use of fire-type spiritual ingredients and nurturing fire-type feys.
"Your friend is a fey, so there's nothing surprising about it needing fire-type resources. However, now that all the fire-elemental energy in the lava zone has been drained, millions of people from Bronze Furnace City will be affected.
