The next day, Liu Xinyan and Li Dong entered the yamen and got together to continue discussing the renovation of the dragon chariot.
However, the two of them really had no achievements in this area and no talent. After discussing it for a long time, they could not come up with a feasible opinion.
By noon, the two finally realized that working behind closed doors would be fruitless.
So, in the afternoon, the two came to the Black Rock District of the Imperial Capital.
Black Rock District is located in the southwest district of the Imperial Capital. It is relatively remote and can be considered a suburb of the Imperial Capital.
However, 80% of the weapon refiners in the imperial capital gathered here.
It is said that the Black Rock District was originally named because many weapon refiners gathered here to refine weapons, and over time a large amount of weapon refinement waste was produced. The waste piled up like a mountain looked like a black rock mountain from a distance, so it was named the Black Rock District.
Liu Xinyan came to Heiyan District for two purposes.
The first is to see if you can meet a casual soul-imbuing master who happens to be able to engrave suspended bridge formations. Of course, the chance of this is very low. First of all, there are relatively few soul-imbuing masters in casual cultivation. After all, the number of soul-imbuing masters is scarcer than that of warriors. With such talent and ability, why not seek the stability of an official position in the court.
Secondly, the Suspension Bridge Formation is listed as a talisman formation that can only be engraved on royal vehicles, which makes it extremely difficult for it to be spread. It is difficult to produce huge value, so naturally there will be fewer people studying it.
As for the second purpose, the two wanted to find inspiration in the market of weapon refiners to see if they could meet some capable people who could just solve this problem. If not, they would even meet some weird spirits. It's also good that the device can provide some inspiration to the two of them.
Since they were transforming the dragon chariot for the eldest princess, in order to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking this opportunity to approach the eldest princess, it was impossible for the two of them to search for the needed weapon refiners in the market with great fanfare in the name of the imperial court.
As a result, the two could only wander aimlessly in the market.
The first place the two came to was the largest spiritual weapon trading market in Black Rock District, called A City.
This Armory Market is not a market run by the imperial court. It is said that the armor refiners selling armor first set up stalls here, and then more and more armor refiners gathered to set up stalls, and more and more people came to trade. Only then did it gradually form the scale before us.
Many years ago, the imperial court wanted to completely renovate City A and use it for the imperial court.
Of course, its original purpose was to regulate the market order, but of course it was also mixed with the court's selfish desire to control the weapon refiners in the market.
However, a few years after the imperial court took action, it was discovered that there were fewer and fewer weapon refiners in City A, and the business became increasingly bleak. In the end, the court had no choice but to withdraw its power from City A, allowing City A to grow wildly.
Liu Xinyan looked at Market A in front of him. He said it was a market, but it was actually just a huge shed set up on a spacious flat ground. People were coming and going inside, and noisy sounds continued to come out. It was very lively.
This half-old shed was built by the imperial court back then. Now, this shed, which was considered adequate at the time, can no longer accommodate the endless stream of weapon refiners and the influx of buyers.
The small mushroom-like awnings that appeared around the shed were built casually by the weapon refiners who did not occupy a position in the shed later.
There may seem to be some chaos in City A, but in fact there are hidden rules for freedom and prosperity.
Liu Xinyan looked at the surrounding stalls and sighed in his heart. Now it seems that it was a wise choice for the imperial court to give up its control over City A.
Changsun used Liu Xinyan's body to observe the spiritual weapons on the surrounding stalls.
Changsun found it quite novel to use other people's bodies to observe spiritual weapons from decades ago in a dream.
Li Dong and Liu Xinyan walked from one end of Market A to the other, and then from one end to the other. Half the afternoon passed. It would be wrong to say that they didn't gain anything at all. In short, they didn't gain much.
Liu Xinyan sometimes sees some useful spiritual weapons and wants to chat with the stall owner for a while to see if he can find inspiration, but the surrounding environment is too noisy and the stall owner's attitude is often cold.
So after walking around, Liu Xinyan only had scattered and trivial inspirations in his mind, which could not be integrated together.
Liu Xinyan was a little unwilling to waste another day like this. After all, Sun Shangshu only gave him five days. There was no turning back when he opened his bow. It was too late to give up now.
Finally, against Li Dong's reluctance, Liu Xinyan pulled him deeper into the alley in the Black Rock District.
In the streets and alleys of Black Rock District, apart from the houses where residents live and a few restaurants, the most common ones are blacksmith shops.
Most of the weapon refiners gathered in the Black Rock District are casual cultivators who do not want to be attached to those big forces. These people yearn for freedom and focus more on weapon refinement than making money.
This has also led to a special phenomenon in the Black Rock District, that is, the quality of the spiritual weapons produced here sometimes far exceeds that of those large trading houses, and there are even some spiritual weapons that even the Ministry of Industry cannot forge.
But at the same time, there is no single major business here. It is usually a small blacksmith shop like the one in front of Liu Xinyan. There are no gorgeous decorations in the shop, let alone the waiters.
Compared to the weapon refiners in City A, the weapon refiners here are still not good at talking.
But maybe because they were in their own blacksmith shop, the weapon refiners were sometimes willing to chat with Liu Xinyan and Li Dong.
And Liu Xinyan soon gained something from his idea.
Being able to communicate directly with professional weapon refiners is the most direct way to solve the problem for laymen Liu Xinyan.
After communicating with the weapon refiners from several shops, Liu Xinyan also had new inspiration.
Since no one can engrave the suspension bridge array, no changes can be made to the frame. The only thing that can be changed is the interior of the car. This is also the direction the two of them have determined before.
Liu Xinyan even proposed to remove some of the heavy armor and replace the wood of the frame with stronger wood.
This method is actually feasible if they are not facing the gold-lacquered heavy-armored dragon chariot used by the emperor.
Although this method has been denied, the two of them are still looking for a solution in this direction and set their sights on the car.
The simplest method the two of them had thought of before was to add soft cushions to the original wooden seats in the carriage.
Of course, the problem this approach can solve is minimal.
But after visiting the store, Liu Xinyan already had an idea in his mind. The inspiration came from a blanket he saw suspended in the air in a shop.
According to the craftsman of this shop, the original idea was to forge a blanket that could carry people flying, but in the end it was found that it was too difficult.
Although the blanket can float in the air now, it is only as high as a table, and the weight it can bear is far from being able to carry people. Now it can only be placed here to bluff people.
Of course, if you buy it and use it as a table that can float in the air and move around, it will be very majestic.
After Liu Xinyan saw this, he thought what if he put it in the carriage and carried the eldest princess?
Although this blanket cannot carry people, it doesn't matter. It can be fixed in the car, and there is no need to completely suspend the princess. It only needs to be suspended for a few centimeters so that the car can be cushioned when it encounters bumps. .
Liu Xinyan was very excited when he thought of this, so he started a heated discussion with the weapon refiner in the shop.
The weapon refiner is also very excited. If this idea can be realized, then his defective product is likely to become a hot item that dignitaries in the imperial capital are rushing to buy. After all, such legendary events often occur in the Black Rock District. .
Liu Xinyan walked out of the shop and suppressed the excitement in his heart. I keep reminding myself in my heart that I only have a preliminary idea now, and I am still far from the final success. I must not get carried away.
So with this idea in mind, Liu Xinyan and Li Dong walked around Heiyan District for a while.
It's just that they already have mature ideas in their hearts, and the two of them are no longer as enthusiastic about visiting the store as before.
While walking through a small alley, the two of them didn't notice the very shabby shop called "One Hundred Refined Steel" in the corner of the alley. Instead, they were attracted by a handsome man in front of them. Judging from the appearance alone, he is even better than Wang Ze, but the slightly feminine temperament between his eyebrows makes such a person
The handsome man looked slightly gloomy.
Liu Xinyan and Liu Xinyan did not know this young man, but they felt that such a noble man with outstanding appearance and temperament seemed out of place here.
Li Dong sighed secretly, "This Black Rock Area is really ugly, with hidden dragons and crouching tigers..."
Liu Xinyan also nodded secretly. He had never been to the Black Rock District before and only thought that the Black Rock District was a suburb of the imperial capital. After an in-depth exploration today, he discovered that there are many capable people in the Black Rock District.
The eldest grandson in Liu Xinyan's body was also a little excited when he saw this noble young master.
"Dean Yun when he was young..."
"Finally I met the real owner in the dream..."
Changsun forcibly suppressed the urge in his heart to control Liu Xinyan to step forward and recognize Dean Yun, but he still couldn't help turning his head and watching Dean Yun walk into the blacksmith shop called "A Hundred Refined Steels".
This move was not intentional by Chang Sun, but caused by the curiosity of Liu Xinyan and Li Dong, who followed Dean Yun into the blacksmith shop.
And with this gaze, the eldest grandson discovered the young Dean Wu. The eldest grandson immediately understood that this was the key to the dream.
It's just that the eldest grandson living in Liu Xinyan's body has followed Liu Xinyan out of the alley.
Changsun secretly remembered this place, planning in his heart that if he still couldn't find any clues, he would come back here no matter what.
Liu Xinyan and Li Dong then visited the blacksmith shops in Heiyan District. They didn't leave until the evening when all the blacksmith shops were closed.
Five days was a short time, and Liu Xinyan had no choice but to continue exploring shops in Heiyan District. The next day, Liu Xinyan found the weapon refiner who inspired him and invited him to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites.
When the weapon refiner saw that what he was about to transform was the gold-lacquered heavy-armored dragon chariot used by the emperor, he collapsed to the ground.
After the initial shock and panic, the weapon refiner began to forge day and night as if he had been given a shot of blood.
Five days passed quickly.
…
In a separate courtyard in the imperial capital, important members of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel were waiting with anxiety and expectation.
The person they were waiting for was the eldest princess.
