Soul Tools and Ironware

As afternoon approached, the number of people around the Soul Fight Arena increased rather than decreased, with a continuous stream of people filling the roads.

Fortunately, the carriage was parked some distance away; otherwise, the only way to leave would have been to abandon the carriage and travel on foot.

However, this also confirms the popularity of the Soul Fight Arena on the continent.

To accommodate people's rest time, most of the exciting Soul Fight matches at the Soul Fight Arena are scheduled for the evening, so people can come and watch the Soul Fight with their families after work.

Squeezing through the crowded streets, Quan Yi and Su Ling'er reached a wider path where their carriage was parked.

"Where are we going next?" Su Ling'er asked.

"It's still early, I'd like to go to the Blacksmith Shop." Quan Yi has been immersed in cultivation for the past six months and hasn't been to the Blacksmith Shop yet. He usually only communicates remotely through letters.

Now that he's finally out of town, he needs to take a look around and check if it's operating according to his requirements.

"Alright, everyone's still in the Blacksmith Shop at this time. You can show up and let everyone get to know you."

During the days when Quan Yi was cultivating, his mother kept an eye on the Research Institute for him.

Originally, Quan Ying should have been in charge, but after Su Ling'er learned about Quan Yi's plan, she began to take full responsibility for the operation of the Research Institute.

Having decided on their destination, the carriage headed towards the Blacksmith Shop on the outskirts of the city.

Inside the car, Quan Yi asked his mother, "Mother, are Soul Tool common on the market?"

"Yes, there are quite a few Soul Tool on the market. And most of them are antiques excavated from ancient ruins."

However, Soul Tool are also divided into different levels.

Most of them are defective products that are almost useless.

Soul Tool of superior quality and unique characteristics, such as the Blazing Sun Heart, are relatively rare, and therefore, they are generally very expensive.

"In general, the quality of Soul Tool varies greatly," Su Ling'er explained patiently.

"I've heard that the craftsmanship for making Soul Tool has been lost," Quan Yi continued to ask.

"Yes, the Soul Tool we have now are all antiques left over from ancient times."

"Then why hasn't anyone tried to replicate it, or researched how to make Soul Tool?" Quan Yi raised his biggest question.

Su Ling'er hadn't thought about this question either; she lowered her head and pondered for a while.

"Well, I think the biggest reason is that the cost is too high and the results are minimal."

All families and forces focus on cultivating Spirit Master. Even the most powerful forces wouldn't be so extravagant as to use Gold Soul Coin to research Soul Tool that can't be used for combat. They would rather spend that money on cultivating their own disciples and recruiting other talents.

Moreover, the audience for Soul Tool is too small; most people who buy Soul Tool are people with Innate Soul Power.

People with Innate Soul Power are already rare, and ancient relics alone are enough to satisfy the needs of most Spirit Master.

Quan Yi's focus is often unusual, so his questions often touch on points that others overlook, but Su Ling'er tries her best to give her own answers instead of just making up some excuse to fool Quan Yi.

Su Ling'er had experience in business, so she found the connection from the most basic supply and demand relationship and explained it to Quan Yi.

After hearing Su Ling'er's explanation, Quan Yi was stunned.

Indeed, the importance of demand in human society is self-evident.

At present, the situation on the mainland is characterized by the rise of various warlords and the emergence of powerful figures. Ambitious families will spend their money on cultivating their power, while the decadent noble and wealthy families will indulge in pleasure.

Moreover, most Soul Tool are for daily life and there are no offensive Soul Tool.

Without demand, there is no development.

With this in mind, Quan Yi temporarily withdrew his idea of copying the Soul Tool.

Now is not the right time, and in this turbulent era, there is really no need to invest too much unless it is an offensive Soul Tool.

Quan Yi regained his composure; researching Soul Tool was still too advanced.

We should now focus our efforts on research into ironware that better meets current needs.

Fortunately, Quan Yi's Ironware Research Institute did not disappoint Quan Yi. After half a year of research, they finally found the material he had been dreaming of.

Ironware Research Institute.

After getting off the carriage, Quan Yi glanced around the gate. There were still very few people in front of the gate, and nothing had changed from the last time he came.

However, the walls surrounding the Blacksmith Shop were much taller and made of gray bricks. From the outside, they looked very simple, just like the walls of an ordinary house.

Moreover, the signboard still reads "Yuan Family Blacksmith Shop," unchanged.

All of this was arranged by Su Ling'er to reduce the Blacksmith Shop's visibility.

"Let's go in and take a look. It's not the same Blacksmith Shop as before," Su Ling'er said, turning back as she stepped through the gate.

Upon entering the main gate, one enters the hall, which is still filled with weapons, all gleaming and exuding a chilling aura, suggesting they are being meticulously maintained.

But it seems that nothing has changed.

However, upon entering the backyard, one could hear a dull yet rapid sound of blacksmithing.

This is clearly not the sound of one person banging.

As you approach the Basement entrance, a wave of heat hits you.

But this heat was nothing to Su Ling'er and Quan Yi; they didn't even break a sweat.

However, what made Quan Yi feel very different this time was the increase in Soul Power activity, which felt like Simulated Environment.

Before he could even fully appreciate it, Quan Yi was captivated by the bustling scene before him.

Unlike the usual quiet Forging Room, the underground Forging Room was now filled with Blacksmith standing on almost every Forging Table.

Moreover, the Basement was clearly much larger, with more than a dozen Blacksmith intently swinging their Iron Hammer at the Forging Table.

Perhaps because of the noise and the focus on forging, only a few people who were resting noticed Su Ling'er.

The others were completely absorbed in their own world.

"Madam, you've arrived. Oh, the Young Master is here too, welcome Young Master." Approaching them was Yuan Fei, the Blacksmith Yuan's son.

Yuan Fei greeted Su Ling'er and Quan Yi respectfully.

"Where is Blacksmith Yuan?" Su Ling'er asked.

"Please follow me to the Independent Research Lab."

The Independent Research Institute is located Forging Room; it is a separate courtyard.

That place used to be someone else's shop, but now it has been bought by the Quan Family, who have knocked down the wall and turned it into a relatively hidden secret base.

"Bang!"

As you enter the Independent Research Institute, a crisp explosion sounds.

Hearing this voice, Quan Yi's heart was filled with anticipation, and he quickened his pace.

Upon entering the room, Quan Yi first smelled the odor of exploding firecrackers, which was similar to the smell of Sulfur in his memory. This smell made Quan Yi happy.

"Father, may I come in?" Yuan Fei called out loudly.

"Come in."

Upon entering the room, one could see Blacksmith Yuan standing in front of a wooden target, holding a long, black Iron Gun.

The target is about fifty meters away, and there is a through hole on the target.

"Madam, Young Master, you've come at the perfect time. I've just finished my first test shot." Blacksmith Yuan's expression was full of excitement.
