Blacksmith Association's Crisis
Less than a month has passed since he absorbed the Soul Ring, but with the blessing of the Dragon and Phoenix Heart, his Soul Power Level has shown signs of breaking through.
This is actually why Huo Wu dared to make One-Year Agreement with Fierce Fang King.
Having the Dragon and Phoenix Heart is equivalent to carrying a portable, Blazing Yang Spring, and even more advanced than that.
This freed the two of them from the constraints of their cultivation environment.
As long as the two hold hands tightly, they can enter the best state of cultivation at any time.
The All-Continent Elite Tournament will be held in three months. Based on the current trend, both of them can improve by two levels from their current level.
As for Quan Yi's Body Tempering tempering training, he can use the power of the Volcano Domain to dive deep underground and transform the rock layers into high-pressure magma to replace water pressure.
For Quan Yi, the lava was no different from Yang Quan.
The only inconvenience in the academy is forging.
The Lightning Tribulation tribulation was too loud, but fortunately, Quan Yi had specially exchanged knowledge and formulas about Alloy with Lou Gao when he returned home this time.
This period of time is a good opportunity to learn about this area and hone my forging skills.
Of course, in exchange, Quan Yi passed on his mastery of the Spirit Imbuing Technique to Lou Gao.
It is said that among the three existing Godly Blacksmith, Lou Gao is the weakest in metal Purification.
This is because the Lou Gao, the weaker its cultivation and strength. In today's forging world, strength has a more significant impact on the Purification of metals.
However, the Purification technology that Quan Yi possessed placed greater emphasis on its connection with metals.
In this respect, Lou Gao, who is meticulous and skillful, is more likely to master Quan Yi's forging techniques.
In addition, his decades of forging experience have already put him on the verge of moving to the next level.
Without needing to say Quan Yi, all that was needed was for Quan Yi to demonstrate the entire process of Spirit Imbuing to Lou Gao. Lou Gao's accumulated experience immediately transformed into nourishment, nurturing the fruit that belonged to him.
Although he hasn't fully mastered the Spirit Imbuing technique yet, it's only a matter of time.
This matter is of great significance to Quan Yi, as it means that his forging techniques can be replicated on others.
There is a big difference between skills that can be passed down and skills that cannot.
If his forging techniques are proven to be replicable by outsiders, it means that the Quan Family will have a technology even more important than Soul Tool craftsmanship.
In this sense, the Blacksmith profession became even more important to Quan Yi.
After finishing their Soul Power training, Quan Yi and Huo Wu went their separate ways to continue their individual training. Even after returning to the academy, their lives would not change much.
Time, too, flows by little by little in the quiet practice.
Just when Quan Yi thought this kind of life would continue until the start of the Tournament, less than a month later, a piece of news disrupted Quan Yi's training plans.
It was a letter sent from Gengxin City.
This letter was originally supposed to be delivered directly to Vast Sea City by the person in charge of receiving mail.
However, since the person in charge happened to be Quan Ying, and he happened to know that Quan Yi was at the Blazing Fire Academy, he delivered the letter directly to him.
When Quan Yi opened the letter and carefully examined it, he immediately understood why Quan Ying had handed the letter to him.
"It's rare to see you so solemn. The contents of this letter seem to be more than they appear. What exactly happened?"
Huo Wu was sitting opposite Quan Yi when he was reading the letter, so she clearly saw Quan Yi slightly solemn expression.
Quan Yi handed the letter to Huo Wu and explained, "The letter is from Si Long, the current president of the Blacksmith Association in Gengxin City, addressed to Lou Gao, or more accurately, to our Quan Family, pleading for help."
Judging from the contents of the letter, the Blacksmith Association seems to be under pressure from the Main Sipirit Hall in Gengxin City.
"Huh? These two organizations are on completely different levels. Why would the Spirit Hall suppress the Blacksmith Association for no reason?"
Before Huo Wu could even look, her attention was drawn to Quan Yi.
Quan Yi sighed softly, "What else could it be but profit?"
Over the years, the Blacksmith Association has made enormous profits in the Star Luo Empire by producing Bicycle of the second-highest quality, second only to the Quan Family.
The bishop of the Spirit Hall coveted the profits of the Blacksmith Association and wanted to use the power of the Spirit Hall and his own military strength to forcibly bring it under his control.
Given the other party's undisguised greed, Si Long must have known that after being merged, the entire Blacksmith Association would be treated as a exploited production tool.
It was at this moment that Huo Wu quickly finished reading the contents of the letter.
"Smack!"
Huo Wu slammed her hand on the table, her phoenix eyes flashing with a chilling aura.
"To think they could swallow up the entire Blacksmith Association in such a brutal way, the Spirit Hall is going too far."
The Blacksmith Association has close ties with the Quan Family, and the former chairman Lou Gao, is still one of their people.
Moreover, even now, the Quan Family still purchases inexpensive metals from the Blacksmith Association, and if the Blacksmith Association has problems, they will also be affected to some extent.
"It seems I have no choice but to go to Gengxin City."
"I'm going too!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Wu immediately raised her hand in response.
When she answered, a hint of barely perceptible excitement appeared on her face.
Although the Blacksmith Association was important, she actually sensed a sense of adventure more from this matter.
Quan Yi, who knew Huo Wu best, couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the change in Huo Wu's expression.
He lightly tapped Huo Wu's forehead and chuckled, "Be serious, we're not here to play around."
"I understand, I understand, I'm taking it very seriously."
However, this is my first time visiting the Star Luo Empire. Husband, do you think we should wear new clothes?
Her act of admitting her mistake lasted only a moment before Huo Wu revealed her true nature.
Quan Yi sighed helplessly, but finally said indulgently, "Let's go. We haven't had time to go shopping in the past few years. Let's take this opportunity to buy some new clothes."
That day, the two went to Saus City for a long-awaited shopping date.
The shops that Huo Wu frequents have released many new products recently, and they all come in the right sizes.
Quan Yi bought everything that Huo Wu was satisfied with. Huo Wu also had enough Storage Space, so it was only right that she stocked up on more clothes.
While on the date, Quan Yi didn't forget his business. Finally, he went to the boutique and met with Quan Ying.
After giving his instructions, Quan Yi obtained a map of the Star Luo Empire and information on the Quan Family's various strongholds in the Star Luo Empire from Quan Ying.
When Quan Yi learned of the Blacksmith Association's crisis, he saw an opportunity in it instead.
This information may be a crucial factor in seizing this opportunity.
After obtaining the necessary information, Quan Yi and Huo Wu returned to the academy.
The next day, after asking for leave, the two flew south and headed to the Star Luo Empire together.
Gengxin City is located in the southwest of the Star Luo Empire, and is some distance from Saus City, which is located at the southern end.
However, with the Scarlet Dragon flying in a straight line, it arrived at Gengxin City in just one morning.
