Soon, the three Luo Can landed smoothly in the open space in front of the Fate Defying Pavilion station.
Ye Qingyu had already been waiting here with several of the Ye Clan's children. When she saw Luo Can and their children landing, she hurried to meet them.
"Pavilion Master, Vice Pavilion Master, Hall Master." Ye Qingyu saluted.
"Sister Ye, Lingling, Yanyan and Xiao Ya, I will leave it to you for the time being." Luo Can put down the two young disciples in his arms and said to Ye Qingyu.
"Pavilion Master Don't worry, I will take good care of them." Ye Qingyu nodded and took the hands of Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan.
"Master..." Ye Lingling raised his head and looked at Luo Can, his little face full of reluctance.
"Master, you have to come back soon!" Dugu Yan's eye circles were also a little red.
Tang Ya also walked up to Luo Can, raised his little face, and said, "Luo Can... Master, be careful along the way."
Luo Can squatted down, rubbed the heads of the three little girls one by one, and said warmly, "Be obedient at home, practice hard, and don't be lazy. I will come back soon to check your homework after I finish my work, especially Xiao Ya. Your Mysterious Heaven Skill must practice harder. When I come back, you will have to take a test."
"Yes, master!" Ye Lingling nodded vigorously.
"We must work hard!" Dugu Yan also clenched his fists.
"Yes, I will!" Tang Ya also solemnly promised.
After a few more instructions, Luo Can stood up and nodded to Ye Qingyu: "They have been working for you to take care of them for a while."
"Pavilion Master is serious, leave it to me." Ye Qingyu responded with a smile.
After saying goodbye, Luo Can said no more. Behind him, Dragon Wings showed up again, and Qian Renxue and Ju Zi also took off at the same time.
"Let's go!"
The three figures rose into the sky again, and soon turned into small dots on the horizon and disappeared into the clouds.
Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan and Tang Ya raised their heads and stared for a long time until they could see nothing. Then, under the leadership of Ye Qingyu, they walked towards the building complex of the Fate Defying Pavilion.
High in the air, the three of them paused for a moment.
"The first stop is Gengxin City." Luo Can identified the direction, "It's in the west of the Star Luo Empire, close to the border. If we fly at full speed at our speed, we can arrive there in about five or six days."
He looked at the two beauties beside him and said with a smile, "It's a good time to see the customs and customs of this era along the way, and also let A-Cui confirm whether this is really in front of Ten Thousand Years."
Ju Zi nodded and adjusted his glasses. "Well, I also need time to become more familiar with the operation of 'Firefly' Battle Armor, and to deepen communication with A-Cui."
Qian Renxue lazily stretched his black wings, his eyes swept over the ground below, and his tone was a bit playful. "Speaking of which, as a 'local', my impressions of many places are still in my memory, so I must have a good time this time!"
In the next few days, the three of them did not blindly pursue speed.
Bai Tian, they either spread their wings and soared over mountains and rivers, or lowered their altitude and stopped near larger cities to buy some local specialties and taste special delicacies.
At night, they found a beautiful, safe and secluded place to camp, lit a bonfire, rubbed their temples together, and talked about interesting things that had happened.
Of course, Qian Renxue showed her wicked side, often using illusions to tease Ju Zi, or transforming into Luo Can to tease him, and then laughing at the helpless expressions of the two of them.
Ju Zi was immersed in observation and recording. She marveled at the backwardness of Soul Tool in this era. At the same time, she was amazed by some simple and practical craftsmanship. She also recorded the distribution of minerals she saw along the way.
At night, she often studies the structure of "Firefly" Battle Armor alone, or has in-depth spiritual communication with Soul Spirit A-Cui. A-Cui observes the world through her perception, and from the initial shock and doubt, she gradually accepts the fact that she "really returned to Ten Thousand Years."
On this day, the three people flew across the border between Fasinuo Province and Balak Kingdom and entered the territory of the Star Luo Empire.
The landscape below also gradually transitions from plains to areas intertwined with hills and mines.
"We have entered the territory of the Star Luo Empire," Qian Renxue looked down and identified the geographical features. "Flying west for about one day, we will reach the famous 'City of Metal and Fire'--Gengxin City."
"City of Metal and Fire?" Ju Zi looked curious.
"Well, because that is where Blacksmith's Association's headquarters is located. More than 60% of the mainland's rare metal transactions and high-end weapon casting are completed there. The entire city is dotted with blacksmith shops, smelting workshops and ore markets. The fires are not extinguished all year round, the sound of hammering is constant, and the air is filled with the smell of metal and charcoal fire." Luo Can explained.
"Sounds like... it's a very lively place." Ju Zi pushed up his glasses, his eyes sparkling behind the lenses.
To her, this gathering place of Soul Tool raw materials and processing technology is simply paradise.
"It's more than lively," Qian Renxue chuckled. "Eight out of ten people there have a temper as hot as a furnace fire. Especially the blacksmiths who are somewhat capable have eyes on the top of their heads. However, they respect the real technical masters from the bottom of their hearts."
With that said, Qian Renxue looked at Ju Zi and said, "Ju Zi, those drawings of yours and Soul Tool might really be able to suppress them."
"I hope so." Ju Zi clenched her fists, feeling nervous and excited at the same time. She also wanted to see Divine Craftsman of this era, what's his skills like?
That night, the three of them camped on the top of a low mountain where they could see a brightly lit area in the distance.
Looking east from here is the direction of Gengxin City. Even though it is far away, you can vaguely see the "fire clouds" formed by countless fires reflecting in the night sky.
The bonfire crackled, Ju Zi was carefully wiping and maintaining her Soul Tool, Qian Renxue leaned on Luo Can to fall asleep, and Luo Can looked in the direction of Gengxin City, recalling the information about Lou Gao in her mind.
Lou Gao loves technology as much as his life, has a stubborn personality, and does not admire power. The only way to impress him is to use the 'higher skills' that he has never seen before and cannot refuse.
Luo Can spoke slowly, "Ju Zi, which part of the 'bait' are you going to use?"
Ju Zi raised his head, his eyes shining with confidence. "I analyzed part of the energy conversion array of 'Firefly' Battle Armor, combined with the core principles of Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon, simplified and optimized it and came up with a ' Although the power of Level 5 Energy-Gathering Piercing Cannon's design is far less than that of the original version, its energy utilization efficiency, penetration principle and part of the composite array structure are definitely at least two generations ahead of Soul Tool of this era. Furthermore, I deliberately left three key 'imperfections' and one 'theoretical contradiction'."
Luo Can and Qian Renxue both looked at her.
"Leave imperfections and contradictions?" Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow.
"Well," Ju Zi nodded and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "For a real technical researcher, especially a Grandmaster of Lou Gao's level, a finished product drawing that is perfect and far beyond his knowledge may shock him, but it may also be caused by his incomprehension. Alienation and even suspicion, and a semi-finished product with a wonderful idea but some "flaws" and "unsolved mysteries" will be like the most tempting bait, making him feel itchy and can't wait to perfect it and solve it with his own hands. When he is immersed in it and gets unprecedented inspiration and sense of accomplishment from it, inviting him to join will be a matter of course."
When Luo Can heard this, he put his hands on his hands and smiled, "Wonderful! The most important thing is to attack the heart. Ju Zi, you are really underestimating your talent if you don't become a negotiator."
Qian Renxue also showed an appreciative smile, "It seems that our Soul Tool Hall Master is not only skillful but also very thoughtful."
Ju Zi was a little embarrassed by the praise and adjusted his glasses, "I just... understand the thoughts of similar people."
The next day, when the rising sun gilded the "fire clouds" in the distance, the three of them packed up and set off again.
As it gets closer, the temperature in the air seems to rise a bit, and a dull and rhythmic "ding-dong" sound can be heard faintly, like a symphony of thousands of hammers striking anvils at the same time.
Soon, on the horizon, the outline of a huge city gradually became clear.
The city wall is not an ordinary masonry structure, but has a dark metallic color, reflecting cold light in the sun. Several extremely tall chimneys stand across the city, spewing billowing white smoke. Over the city, there is a light red dust that lingers all year round.
Gengxin City, arrived.
