"Senior Lou Gao, you are! My! God!" Si Chen lifted Lou Gao up despite the fact that he was covered in soot. Since her teacher no longer intends to maintain his aloof image, there is no need for her to be reserved.
"Senior, don't worry. If I defeat someone in the future, I will tell him that you forged this sword for me. I wonder who dares to look down on the blacksmith!" Si Chen was so excited that he almost screamed.
Chen Xin was also impressed by Lou Gao's skills, "Thank you Master Lou Gao for forging the magic weapon for my family Chenchen. Once this sword is released, sir, I will definitely become famous!"
"Okay! Our Blacksmith Association will be able to stand up in the future!" Lou Gao was also excited. Being recognized by the Titled Douluo was a great encouragement to him.
"That's right, senior, you have created the first soul guidance device in the world. Why don't you just set up a department to research soul guidance devices in the Blacksmith Association?" Si Chen suggested.
"That's a good suggestion! After researching soul guides, who dares to look down on our Blacksmith Association?" Lou Gao laughed loudly, "I'm talking about those guys from Wuhun Palace who look down on others!"
Si Chen's smile froze. How could she forget this? After turning around, she went to beat up the leader of the Wuhun Main Hall in Gengxin City, and then wrote an urgent letter to Qian Daoliu. Lou Gao was currently the only person who could create a soul guide. You must know the soul guide technology. It has been lost for many years. If this kind of talent can be mastered in the hands of Wuhun Palace, wouldn't it be one step closer to the goal of unifying the continent?
Although Lou Gao can only make melee soul guides now, for high-level soul masters, the role of melee soul guides is even more important than long-range soul guides and custom soul guides, and it is easier to match their abilities.
"Senior, can you forge a few more weapons like this?" Si Chen's eyes were sparkling, and he wished that Lou Gao could make more weapons. As for the forging that requires the soul power of a Titled Douluo as a support, that's not the case at all. The thing is, there are dozens of titled Douluo in Wuhun Palace who can line up to help recharge.
"Go, go, go! Do you think that's a cabbage on the street?" Lou Gao said angrily, "Just for your sword, I used up all the deep-sea sunken silver to make such a hilt. If I hadn't gotten some inspiration from the residual image of the soul guide, I still wouldn't be able to make this kind of soul guide sword that uses soul power to condense the blade!"
"Oh." After hearing what Lou Gao said, Si Chen felt more and more that the hilt of the sword in his hand was so precious.
"Then how much reward should I pay to my senior?" Si Chen put away the hilt of his sword and asked respectfully.
Lou Gao rolled his eyes and smiled, "We don't talk about mundane things like money. If you still have the drawings, we can always maintain a cooperative relationship."
"No problem!" Si Chen was eager to give Lou Gao all the soul guidance device blueprints and soul guidance device artifacts collected by Wuhun Palace.
"Senior, didn't you say that the Wuhun Lord Hall here has been suppressing the Blacksmith Association? Today I will help you solve the matter once and for all, so that the people from the Wuhun Lord Hall will bow politely when they see you in the future." Si Chen smiled slightly and said, "How about just treating it as a small gift for seniors?"
"What can you do, a little kid? Don't cause trouble to your teacher!" When Lou Gao heard this, it was okay. They said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but was this too courageous?
Chen Xin said calmly: "I won't take action. Don't worry, Master Lou Gao. She is enough alone. You can accept this gift with peace of mind."
Now that Chen Xin had said so, Lou Gao had no choice but to let Si Chen do whatever he wanted.
Si Chen carried his beloved soul sword and went straight to the main martial arts hall of Gengxin City. Unexpectedly, there was no guard at the entrance of the main hall when he arrived. Instead, he met an acquaintance.
The acquaintance in front of me has short dark blue hair, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and is handsome. He is wearing a cyan sacrificial robe, and his shoulders are decorated with blue feathers. Okay, another cool and cool grandfather-like guy.
Smoke blue eyes met ice blue cat pupils, Qingluan Douluo nodded to Si Chen and motioned for her to follow him into the main hall. The corridor of the main hall was empty. It seemed that Qingluan Douluo had dismissed everyone beforehand.
"We haven't seen you for a while. The second young lady has grown a lot stronger." Qingluan Douluo took the lead in provoking the topic.
Si Chen silently followed Qingluan Douluo, and was unexpectedly deeply hurt by his words. She had been passively beaten in battles for more than a month, so it was strange that she could not be strong.
"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa Third. How is he doing lately?" Although she didn't want to respond to Qingluan Douluo's topic, it would be too rude.
"Everything is fine, Grand Priest. A few months ago, Grand Priest received the letter you wrote from Second Miss. He also thinks that Second Miss's view is right. Forging technology is indeed important." Qingluan Douluo paused and continued, "The Hall of Elders attaches great importance to the recruitment of the Blacksmith Association, so the Grand Priest sent me to assist the second lady."
"Third Grandpa, the situation has changed now. We must take down the Blacksmith Association." Si Chen said firmly.
"Why did Second Miss say this?" Qingluan Douluo stopped and turned to look back at Si Chen.
Si Chen placed the mechanical-style sword hilt in front of Qingluan Douluo and injected soul power into it. The sword body formed instantly as if it was launched from the hilt.
"Soul guidance device? Could it be said that someone in the Blacksmith Association can make a soul guidance device?" Now Qingluan Douluo could no longer maintain his cold image.
"Yes, the current president of the Blacksmith Association, Lou Gao, can make soul guides. Such talents must be used by our Spirit Hall." Si Chen said seriously, "As long as soul guides can be produced in large quantities and put into use, It will definitely change the situation of the entire continent, and Third Grandpa should know this better than me."
"However, there is a lot of conflict between the Blacksmiths Association and the Wuhun Main Palace in Gengxin City. I heard that the bishop here often suppresses the Blacksmiths Association..." Si Chen added.
"I will handle it. Next, I will be responsible for negotiating with the president of the Blacksmith Association." Qingluan Douluo has already thought about how to rectify the main martial arts hall in Gengxin City.
"Yes. President Lou Gao is interested in those soul guide blueprints and soul guide cultural relics, and Third Grandpa can do whatever he wants." Now that Qingluan Douluo has taken over this matter, it shows that Qian Daoliu has no interest in the Blacksmith Association. If she pays attention to it, then her goal will be achieved.
Si Chen kept part of the needle made of plate crystal hair for herself, and gave all the rest to Qingluan Douluo. After teaching how to use it, she asked Qingluan Douluo to give some to Qian Renxue after he returned from work. In the past, Qingluan Douluo happily agreed.
"How does Third Grandpa plan to recruit Lou Gao's master craftsman?" Si Chen asked casually.
Qingluan Douluo came here this time to rectify the name of the Blacksmith Association in the name of Wuhun Palace, so as to improve the status of the blacksmiths on the mainland. But since Lou Gao has become the only soul mentor on the mainland, it might not be a bad idea to grant him the title of Honorary Elder of the Spirit Hall on his own initiative. As long as Lou Gao agrees to join the Wuhun Palace with the Blacksmith Association, the Wuhun Palace will fully support him in the research and production of soul guidance devices.
Qingluan Douluo told Si Chen his plan, and Si Chen also felt that the title of honorary elder was well deserved, and he was tens of thousands of times better than some useless master with no real talent or knowledge.
In just a few days, before Si Chen and others left Gengxin City and returned to the Qibao Glazed Sect, Qingluan Douluo had reorganized the Wuhun Main Hall from top to bottom, and even personally removed the bishop of the Wuhun Main Hall who had suppressed the Blacksmith Association. Miles caught Lou Gao and put him at his disposal. With the title of honorary elder, Miles sincerely invited him to join the Wuhun Palace and promised that the Wuhun Palace would fully support him in researching and producing soul guidance devices.
Qingluan Douluo's polite and virtuous attitude as a corporal won the unanimous favor of Lou Gao and the blacksmiths of the Blacksmith Association. In addition, the blacksmith's status was already low, and one day he suddenly had the opportunity to make a comeback. How could they not be moved?
Lou Gao is also a thoughtful person, and he immediately thought of the "gift" Si Chen promised him before, which would allow the three worshipers in the Enshrinement Hall above the Elder Hall to come out to recruit. It can only be said that that little girl is by no means simple. Even Sword Douluo worked so hard for one of her weapons, which shows how noble her status is.
"Since the three ministers have said so, why should we not join in?" Lou Gao was overjoyed, but then felt a little embarrassed.
"Guild Master Lou, if you have any concerns, why don't you tell me?" Qingluan Douluo would never allow such an important matter to go wrong.
"It's not a big deal. It's just that the vice-president of our Blacksmith Association may not be willing to join the Wuhun Palace." Lou Gao knew very well the grudges between his brother Tai Tan and the Wuhun Palace. With Tai Tan's temper, he would rather die. I won’t join the Spirit Hall.
"Why is this? If he has his own sect, we won't force him, we just need to cooperate." The conditions given by Qingluan Douluo are very reasonable, and the other party will not refuse.
But unexpectedly, Lou Gao looked even more difficult, "Oh! Sanzong, to be honest, my brother's name is Taitan, and he is the leader of the Force Clan, one of the four single-attribute clans. The four single-attribute clans The clan was originally one of the four affiliated clans of the Haotian Sect. After the Haotian Douluo was expelled from the Haotian Sect, Tai Tan led the force clan to break away from the Haotian Sect. I also have a grudge between the Wuhun Palace and the Haotian Douluo. You know, with Tai Tan’s temperament, it’s absolutely impossible to get him to cooperate.”
"I see. It seems that there is no chance of cooperation." Qingluan Douluo nodded slightly, already thinking about whether to wipe out the entire force clan.
How could Lou Gao not see Qingluan Douluo's thoughts? Wuhun Palace never shows mercy to its enemies. For the sake of his long-term friendship with Tai Tan, he had to plead for Tai Tan, "Three offerings, Lou has a merciless request. I have been friends with Tai Tan for many years. Even if he does not want to cooperate with Wuhun Palace, Please hold your hands high and do not harm his life."
"If you don't cooperate, don't cooperate. President Lou has said so, so just leave him alone." Qingluan Douluo agreed generously. There was no need to destroy the relationship between Wuhun Palace and Lou Gao for Tang Hao and the Li Clan. Then But he is the only soul master on the continent! Moreover, the entire Blacksmith Association agreed to follow Lou Gao and join the Spirit Hall. Tai Tan, a mere commander, could not make any big waves.
"Thank you for the three offerings!" Qingluan Douluo's move made Lou Gao's favorable impression of Wuhun Palace rise to another level.
After solving Lou Gao's concerns, Qingluan Douluo didn't waste a moment and led Lou Gao to Wuhun City day and night.
Returning to the Enshrinement Hall, Qingluan Douluo reported everything he saw and heard during his trip to Gengxin City to Qian Daoliu, and attached a letter written by Si Chen, which described in detail the close combat soul guide made by Lou Gao. device.
After learning all this, Qian Daoliu personally met with Lou Gao and introduced this master craftsman to Pope Bibi Dong. Compared with the value of the soul guide, the conflict between the Elder Palace and the Pope Palace is simply not worth mentioning. Now is not the time for internal fighting. Only by cooperation between the two parties can the Wuhun Palace's goal of unifying the continent be achieved.
Although Bibi Dong has a grudge against Qian Xunji, as the youngest pope in the history of Wuhun Palace and taking over the position of pope before the age of forty, she naturally has a strategic vision. She can also see a soul. The value of mentorship. Now that Qian Renxue, that annoying bastard, has been sent away, it doesn't matter if he cooperates with Qian Daoliu once.
So with the support of Pope Bibi Dong, Lou Gao, as the president of the Blacksmiths Association, issued a statement to the outside world, announcing that the Blacksmiths Association would join the Wuhun Palace. Correspondingly, Bibi Dong also issued a series of policies to improve the status and income of blacksmiths on behalf of His Highness Wuhun, and provided subsidies to blacksmiths of different levels just like soul masters. But the difference is that subsidies will no longer be provided to soul masters when their soul power reaches level 40 or above, while subsidies will be provided to blacksmiths from junior blacksmith to master level, and this money will be paid entirely by Wuhun Palace.
Although this amount of money is a large expense in the early stage, compared with the returns that the soul guide device can bring in the future, this money is well spent for Wuhun Palace.
It is said that a scholar will die for his confidant. Lou Gao, who wanted to change his status as a blacksmith, was moved to tears when he saw Wuhundian showing such sincerity. He wished he could do anything for the development of Wuhundian's soul tool business. In addition, Bibi Dong was always approachable in dealing with others, which convinced Lou Gao that Bishop Miles' previous suppression of the Blacksmith Association was entirely a personal grudge and had no direct relationship with the upper echelons of Wuhun Hall.
The relocation of the Blacksmith Association's headquarters also went very smoothly. In order to prevent the Star Luo Empire from retaliating against the Blacksmith Association, Wuhun Palace also sent two titled Douluo to escort them to ensure that the Blacksmith Association's headquarters could be moved smoothly to Wuhun City. .
However, there was an episode. When Titan, the vice president of the Blacksmiths Association, heard the news, he immediately jumped out and strongly opposed it. Seeing this, Lou Gao had no choice but to go to persuade Tai Tan in person, telling him that he alone did not have the final say in the Blacksmith Association, and that as the president, he wanted to benefit the blacksmiths across the continent. Tai Tan was so angry that he broke off relations with Lou Gao on the spot.
At this time, Tang Hao, who was living in seclusion with Tang San in a small village called Holy Soul Village in the Fasnuo Province in the southwest of the Tiandou Empire, also learned the news, because he was the only blacksmith in the village. It was Jack, the village elder of Holy Soul Village, who told him.
The village chief, Old Jack, was a good old man, and everyone in the village respected him. If he hadn't been helping Tang Hao in the past few years, there was no doubt whether Tang San would survive. But who knew that Tang Hao didn't appreciate his kindness. When he persuaded Tang Hao to receive the subsidy from Wuhun Palace, Tang Hao said that it was Wuhun Palace's way of buying people's hearts and ignored Old Jack's kindness at all.
Old Jack really hated this sloppy blacksmith. If it weren't for the fact that Tang San was still young, he would have kicked Tang Hao out of the village.
