When Lou Gao heard this, his rough white eyebrows that were slightly frowned suddenly stood up, almost twisting together, and his fat round face also showed anger.
He finally heard it.
The young Holy Son of Wuhun Palace in front of him actually wanted to annex his Blacksmith Association.
Speaking of which, Miles, the previous bishop of Gengxin City's Wuhun Main Hall, once had the idea to merge the Blacksmith Association into the Wuhun Hall, but they rejected it.
It was precisely for this reason that the Blacksmiths Association was later targeted and suppressed by Miles. Various provocations and troubles came one after another, which made their Blacksmiths Association extremely annoyed and lost a lot of profits.
Fortunately, that bully Miles was executed.
But now a more greedy guy has arrived.
Even if he wants to join the Wuhun Palace alone, he actually wants to get involved in the Blacksmith Association and covet all the blacksmiths and metal resources of the Blacksmith Association.
This is something Lou Gao absolutely cannot tolerate.
Do you think that just by looking at a detailed diagram of the Soul Guidance Sleeve Arrow, you can make me lead the Blacksmith Association to surrender and grovel?
Haha, don’t even think about it!
Lou Gao looked angry and deliberately refused sternly.
Then he swept out the greedy and shameful Holy Son of Wuhun Palace and expelled him directly.
But then I thought about it, the other party was accompanied by a titled Douluo with terrifying strength. What if he made the other party angry and destroyed the Blacksmith Association?
"Your Highness the Holy Son, I cannot agree to your condition."
Lou Gao took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and rejected Ye Qifeng's conditions.
Then he said:
"You want me to join the Spirit Hall, I can understand. After all, I am a master craftsman, and the forging skills I master may be of some use to you."
"I can understand that you ask for the metal resources held by the Blacksmiths Association. After all, it is considered a huge wealth."
"But why do you want all the blacksmiths from the Blacksmith Association to join the Spirit Hall?"
"With all due respect, your Wuhun Palace itself is a soul master organization, and soul masters value the ability of their own souls more than they trust the tools forged by our blacksmiths."
"Moreover, most of the things forged by our blacksmiths serve the common people and have limited effect on soul masters. They can only have some status among ordinary people in the two empires of Tiandou and Xingluo, although they are not taken seriously. "
After Lou Gao finished speaking, he sighed silently in his heart.
"Nowadays, the status of blacksmiths is indeed not high in the eyes of soul masters."
Ye Qifeng nodded slightly, agreed with Lou Gao's words, and then changed the subject:
"But what if the blacksmiths made a soul guide?"
"Create a soul guide?"
Lou Gao's small eyes suddenly opened wide, and a light suddenly flashed through his mind, as if he had realized something.
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly and said:
"So, Senior Lou Gao, you don't have to rush to reject my conditions. You might as well listen to the promises and benefits our Wuhun Palace has made to you and the Blacksmith Association first. How about that?"
"Oh? Promises and benefits?"
Lou Gao's expression changed slightly, he suppressed the impulse that came to his mind, and said with a hint of surprise:
"tell me the story."
Ye Qifeng smiled and said in detail:
"First of all, if the senior leads all the blacksmiths in the Blacksmith Association to join Wuhun Palace, then Wuhun Palace can make the decision and issue an announcement to the soul master world to announce the improvement of the status and income of the blacksmiths."
"Improving status and income, I think, this is what the blacksmiths of the Blacksmiths Association most hope and urgently want."
Saying that, Ye Qifeng glanced at Lou Gao and saw him gently nodding, so he continued:
"Secondly, Wuhun Palace can also open all the soul guidance device information collected in the collection room, as well as all the soul guidance devices collected in the treasure house, to the seniors and the Blacksmith Association for research."
"We can even provide funds and resources to establish and build a special research institution to fully support our predecessors and the Blacksmith Association in conducting soul guide research."
"As long as the seniors can lead the blacksmiths of the Blacksmith Association to research the craftsmanship of soul guides and produce soul guides, then the Spirit Hall can grant you an exclusive title."
Having said this, Ye Qifeng paused for a moment, looked at Lou Gao, whose expression changed, and was obviously a little moved, and then said:
"Senior, if you have studied the history of soul guidance devices, then you should know that during the period of the Soul Guidance Empire when soul guidance devices were once glorious, the craftsmen who could create soul guidance devices had an exclusive title - 'Soul Guidance Engineer' '."
"The status of soul masters is equal to that of soul masters, and even vaguely surpasses soul masters. Like soul masters, they also have detailed divisions in levels, from first-level soul masters to tenth-level soul masters, and the soul masters corresponding to soul masters to The ultimate Douluo realm."
"If you can lead the blacksmiths of the Blacksmith Association to develop the soul guidance device, then you will no longer be simple blacksmiths, but respected soul masters. Even soul masters must show respect and call them master when they see you. .”
"Senior, your name will surely go down in history and be famous for eternity."
For a craftsman like Lou Gao, apart from studying the blacksmithing skills for a lifetime, the things that can arouse his interest are undoubtedly fame and status.
This reputation and status do not refer to fame and status in the secular world, but to fame and status in history.
If you can leave a strong mark in history and leave your own name, it would be the greatest honor for a person like Lou Gao.
"Soul guide, soul guide craftsman and soul master. His name will remain in history"
After listening to Ye Qifeng's words, Lou Gao looked stunned, his head hung slightly, and he murmured to himself in a low voice.
"By the way, Senior Lou Gao, I also have some detailed illustrations of soul guides here. I wonder if Senior is interested?"
At this time, Ye Qifeng suddenly took out a stack of drawings from the purple jade crystal ring and patted it gently in his hand.
"Detailed diagram of the soul guide? Where is it?"
Hearing this, Lou Gao suddenly raised his head and asked eagerly.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a stack of drawings fluttering in Ye Qifeng's hand at a glance, and hurriedly moved forward, wanting to take it over:
"Quick, quick, show me those drawings."
However, Ye Qifeng raised the drawing upwards to prevent him from succeeding, and at the same time said softly:
"Then, what's my condition?"
Lou Gao didn't even look at Ye Qifeng, his eyes were fixed on the soul guidance device blueprint that he had lifted into the air, and he hurriedly said with an ouch in his mouth:
"Oh, if you have anything to say, I promise you."
Ye Qifeng suddenly laughed:
"So, senior has agreed to join my Spirit Hall?"
"I agree, I agree. From now on, I, Lou Gao, will be a member of Wuhun Hall, okay?"
Lou Gao quickly replied.
"What about the Blacksmiths Guild?"
Ye Qifeng asked again immediately.
"Join, join, the Blacksmiths Guild joins too."
Lou Gao said quickly.
"In that case, I'll leave these detailed illustrations of the soul guide to the seniors."
After receiving Lou Gao's promise, Ye Qifeng smiled even more and finally handed the soul guide blueprint to Lou Gao.
As soon as the drawings were obtained, Lou Gao no longer cared about Ye Qifeng, and couldn't wait to return to the round table he usually forged. He picked up a magnifying glass made of transparent crystal, put it in front of his little eyes, and looked through them one by one. stand up.
He babbled in surprise:
"Wow, is this a soul-guided bow? Is this a soul-guided crossbow? A soul-guided gun? Oh, there are also soul-guided cannons and soul-guided shields?"
"I see, it turns out to be this kind of structure. It's wonderful. Why didn't I think of it? Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's amazing."
"Huh? Is this a storage soul guide? Well, it's a bit troublesome. It seems that a soul master with space talent is needed to help open up space to make it."
Looking at the crazy-looking building, Ye Qifeng smiled slightly and shook his head. From the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of the Eight Treasure Ruyi soft armor next to the round platform. After thinking about it, he asked:
"Senior Lou Gao, can you sell the soft armor next to you to me for free? I can pay you enough."
When Lou Gao heard this, he waved his hand casually towards Ye Qifeng without even raising his head:
"There is no need to give up love. If His Highness the Holy Son of Eight Treasures Ruyi Soft Armor wants it, just take it. There is no need to pay for it. It is given to you."
All his attention is now on the soul guide, so how can he care about the Eight Treasures Ruyi Soft Armor?
Although it was a fine product that he spent ten years of hard research to create, it was nothing compared to the soul guide.
How important is the soul guide?
"Well"
Ye Qifeng was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, then stopped being rude and pretentious, and thanked Lou Gao:
"Thank you very much, senior."
After saying that, he stepped forward and took the Eight Treasures Ruyi Soft Armor in his hand.
The Eight Treasure Ruyi Soft Armor is slightly cool to the touch. Although it is made entirely of metal, it is not as heavy and hard as metal. Instead, it is extremely light and soft, and feels as smooth as silk.
Then, Ye Qifeng came to Nihuang holding the Eight Treasure Ruyi Soft Armor in his hand, handed it to her, and said in a soft voice:
"Sister Ninth, do you like this soft armor?"
Nihuang was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously reached out and touched the Eight Treasures Ruyi Soft Armor, feeling its material, then quickly retracted her hand, narrowed her eyes and asked with a sweet smile:
"Xiao Feng, do you want to give it to me?"
Ye Qifeng nodded gently:
"Ninth Sister, it will look good if you put it on."
Nihuang raised her eyes and looked at Ye Qifeng, her red lips suddenly raised into a sly smile, and her lazy and charming voice was a bit provocative:
"Do you really want to see your sister wearing it? You can do that, sister."
"."
Ye Qifeng's expression froze, and he suddenly didn't dare to speak.
"Hehehe~~ Don't be shy, sister is just teasing you."
Seeing the corner of Ye Qifeng's mouth twitching and the look of confusion on his face, Nihuang suddenly giggled and seemed extremely happy.
For a moment, she stopped smiling and said in a still lazy voice full of charm:
"Xiao Feng, thank you for your kindness."
"But sister doesn't need it. This soft armor is actually of little use to her. After all, she is already a super Douluo."
"Sister just sensed that this soft armor can only withstand the sixth soul skill attack of the soul emperor level, so it is more suitable for soul masters below the soul emperor level to wear."
"Of course, it has some uses for soul masters under the realm of ordinary Titled Douluo. After all, its defensive capabilities are still good and can reduce some attack damage, but it is useless for super Douluo. "
"So, you'd better keep it."
Ye Qifeng suddenly realized: "Okay then"
Since Ninth Sister said so, he had to put it away for now.
As for who to give it to, we will talk about it later.
Unexpectedly, as if hearing his thoughts, Nihuang immediately made arrangements for him.
I only heard her suggestion with a sweet smile:
"You can give it to the girl you like."
"For example, your little senior sister Hu Liena, and your little girlfriend named Huo Wu."
Ye Qifeng suddenly staggered.
…………
Shortly after.
Lou Gao summoned all the senior officials above the master level of the Blacksmith Association, including his four direct disciples.
Then, he held a closed-door meeting with Ye Qifeng, Nihuang and Bishop Chris of the Wuhun Main Hall in Gengxin City.
At the meeting, Lou Gao directly announced that the entire Blacksmith Association would join the Wuhun Palace.
As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.
Naturally, some among the senior masters of the Blacksmiths Association raised questions and objections.
Even Lou Gao's four direct disciples expressed their incomprehension.
But when Lou Gao took out the soul guide deconstruction blueprint that Ye Qifeng gave him, and explained its power and importance.
All the blacksmith masters immediately switched sides, supported Qi Lou Gao's decision, and chose to join the Spirit Hall together.
The temptation of soul tool skills is also very attractive to these blacksmith masters, how can they refuse it.
A meeting ended hastily not long after it started.
Because those blacksmith masters couldn't wait to study those soul guide blueprints with Lou Gao.
Fortunately, Lou Gao arranged for his personal disciple Silong to be solely responsible for the negotiations between the Blacksmith Association and Wuhun Palace.
After several days of detailed discussions.
The Blacksmiths Association signed an agreement and officially joined the Wuhun Palace. However, it was not announced to the public and only joined secretly.
Gengxin City, where the Blacksmith Association's General Assembly is located, is after all within the hinterland of the Star Luo Empire, and the relationship between Wuhun Palace and the Star Luo Empire is not good. They are hostile to each other and are continuing to deteriorate.
In order to prevent the news from leaking out and being noticed by the Star Luo Empire, it would bring danger to the Blacksmiths Association.
In the short term, the news that the Blacksmith Association has joined the Wuhun Palace will be sealed and will not be announced to the public.
It won't be too late to make an announcement once the Blacksmith Association moves the general association and all assets to Wuhun City.
Ye Qifeng has already negotiated with the Blacksmith Association on behalf of Wuhun Palace.
A new headquarters will be built for the Blacksmith Association in Wuhun City, as well as a research institute dedicated to the research of soul guidance devices.
The construction funds were provided by Wuhun Palace, while the materials were provided by the Blacksmiths Association itself.
To say what the Blacksmith Association lacks most, it is precisely various metal resources, and there are also many other materials such as gems and minerals.
Of course, now that the Blacksmiths Association has been brought under the banner of Wuhun Palace, the resources held by the Blacksmiths Association can also be said to be the assets of Wuhun Palace.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it was fully funded by Wuhun Palace.
Although the Blacksmith Association General Assembly was moved to Wuhun City for safety reasons, Gengxin City could not give up.
After all, this is the headquarters of the Blacksmiths Guild.
Many metal resources circulate here and will not be transferred immediately with the relocation of the Blacksmiths Association.
It is also necessary to leave some force to station here.
The original General Conference of the Blacksmiths Association can exist as a branch in the future.
Now that the Blacksmith Association has joined Wuhun Palace, the combined power controlled by the two reaches as much as 90% of the entire Gengxin City.
It can be said that Gengxin City is already in the possession of Wuhun Palace, which makes it easier for Wuhun Palace to plan ahead.
Although there is a third party force in Gengxin City, the City Lord's Mansion, which represents the official Xingluo government, in fact, the power they hold is extremely weak.
Some jurisdiction can only be exercised administratively.
Because they do not attach importance to the status of Gengxin City, the military force stationed here is extremely weak, not even comparable to the security force of the Blacksmith Association, and even less comparable to the team of soul masters stationed in the Wuhun Palace.
Economically, the City Lord's Mansion cannot be autonomous and is almost entirely controlled by the Blacksmiths Association and Wuhun Palace.
On their own land, the Gengxin City City Lord's Mansion, which exists as the official force of the Star Luo Empire, has developed like this, and there is no one else.
Ye Qifeng also had to say one thing -
Convinced!
Thanks to [Liu Ying is a Star] for the 3,100 starting coins!
