Ming Capital, as the capital of Federation, is where all forces gather. Correspondingly, it is also the place with the best information.
As early as the moment when the image appeared in the sky over Ascension Platform, a message that Heavenly Forging was opened again spread like the wind to the hands of every force that should receive it.
Shrek City, Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.
Qiangu Dongfeng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking Shrek City in the night. The distant skyline was cut by a dazzling golden halo, and even though it was tens of kilometers away, the light was still dazzling.
He was silent for a long time, and the Soul Guidance Communicator in his hand still retained the residual warmth from the previous conversation.
Normally, he would always feel irritated when looking at this golden color, but these days, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became to his eyes.
"Divine Craftsman." He repeated the title in a low voice, with a meaningful arc at the corner of his mouth.
Long Yuan, this young man who has recently turned the entire Douluo Continent upside down, has now actually mastered Heavenly Forging.
Qiangu Dongfeng was not surprised or apprehensive - he was only happy.
I am glad that I listened to my father's advice and decisively threw an olive branch when he was still Shrek City, using the title of Honorary Elder to tie Long Yuan onto the chariot of Spirit Pagoda.
Even if he had promised Long Yuan that this was just a personal cooperation and would never involve Blacksmith Association's interests, so what?
After all, we have a relationship, and it will be easier to ask if we need anything in the future. On the contrary, it is Shrek Academy who hated this Divine Craftsman early on. Now he may still be thinking about how to repair the relationship, right?
Qiangu Dongfeng looks at the golden color in the distance.
"Shrek, Shrek, although this golden color is bright, how long can you maintain it?"
"Master of the Tower." The secretary's voice came from behind, "Your Majesty Heavenly Phoenix has sorted out the detailed information of Your Majesty Long Yuan."
Qiangu Dongfeng turned around and took the file, but did not open it.
"What do you think of the cold tower master?" Qiangu Dongfeng asked.
The secretary replied respectfully, "Heavenly Phoenix said that His Excellency Dragon God's talent far exceeded expectations and suggested that the tower master strengthen contact with him. In addition, she also said..."
"What did you say?"
"The relationship between Miss Gu Yuena and Your Majesty Long Yuan is extraordinary. Perhaps we can use Miss Gu Yuena's line to further consolidate Your Majesty Long Yuan's sense of belonging to Spirit Pagoda."
Qiangu Dongfeng leaned back on the chair and was silent for a while.
Of course he knows that Long Yuan and Gu Yuena have a close relationship.
Leng Yaozhu's proposal is indeed feasible, but he doesn't want to use this method.
After all, Gu Yuena is the disciple of Leng Yaozhu. If you are relying on Gu Yuena to build a relationship with Long Yuan, you are just making a wedding dress for Leng Yaozhu.
This is not what he wants. Although the relationship between the Qiangu Family and Leng Family is still harmonious, are they strengthening the power of potential competitors for no reason?
He is not a fool.
"Spirit Pagoda doesn't need to rely on nepotism to win people over." Qiangu Dongfeng said calmly, "Long Yuan is a smart man. He knows what is good for him. We just need to keep a normal mind."
He looked at the secretary. "Draft a new offering agreement, and the salary will be increased to the highest level. In addition, a batch of rare metals will be transferred from the reserves of Ming Capital Spirit Pagoda sub-tower and sent to Long Yuan in my own name. It is said to be a congratulatory gift for his promotion to Divine Craftsman."
The secretary hesitated for a moment. "Tower Master, His Excellency Dragon God is now the vice president of the Blacksmith Association. We will send the metal there..."
"It is precisely because he is a blacksmith that he gave me metal." Qiangu Dongfeng waved his hand, "Go and do it."
The secretary was ordered to leave.
Qiangu Dongfeng walked back to the window and looked at the golden color.
Zhen Hua should give way.
The old guy who has been Divine Craftsman for so many years finally handed over his position.
He should have given in long ago.
Such a young Divine Craftsman is naturally more likely to have further cooperation than the rather conservative guy Zhen Hua.
This is an excellent opportunity for him to completely overwhelm Shrek.
"Maybe there's no need for Holy Spirit Cult's group of people?"
He is not a person with a long history of evil. If he had no other choice, how could he possibly seek skin from a tiger with Holy Spirit Cult?
Qiangu Dongfeng picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Then, he opened the information and his eyes fell on the column of interpersonal relationships.
It clearly says: Disciple Tang Wulin, Xu Xiaoyan.
On the sub-item of Tang Wulin, there is a recent update attached: Recently, Soul Guidance Train from Heaven Dou City to Ming Capital suffered a terrorist attack and was seriously injured.
"Oh?"
The instinct he had developed over the years made him think of a name almost instantly:
Holy Spirit Cult.
Only they would be bold enough to launch a terrorist attack on Soul Guidance Train heading to Ming Capital.
He planned to investigate it carefully.
If it was really Holy Spirit Cult who did it, then he wouldn't mind using this bargaining chip to talk to Long Yuan to get some benefits for his family and Spirit Pagoda.
After all, a dead Daoist friend is better than a poor Daoist.
What's more, what about Evil Soul Master, the group of Holy Spirit Cult that everyone shouts about?
Everyone inside has already decided to die!
"Tsk, tsk, good things come in pairs..."
War God Temple Deep in the main hall, the Soul Guidance Lamp is always on, illuminating the reliefs recording history on the wall.
Chen Xinjie was sitting behind his desk, holding in his hand an urgent piece of information that had just been sent from Ming Capital. His fingers tapped lightly on the paper, his eyes deep.
After reading it three times, he put the information down.
"Heavenly Forging..." He murmured in a low voice.
Guan Yue stood opposite him, frowning slightly.
"Palace Master, is this information true? Long Yuan is only in his early twenties, how could it be possible..."
"This is information that has been verified by many forces. Of course it is true." Chen Xinjie leaned back in the chair. "Although Zhen Hua's body is gradually failing, his eyes are still vicious. Since he dares to give up his position, it means that Long Yuan is really successful."
"What's more, not only you and me, but also the other Gods of War in War God Temple saw the movement just now. On Ascension Platform, besides Heavenly Forging, what else could cause such a strange phenomenon?"
Guan Yue was silent.
He saw it clearly tonight. The last thundercloud seemed to have been forcibly dispersed. Those who could do this would naturally be able to survive the thunderstorm.
But Divine Craftsman, who is in his early twenties, is hard to find in the history of the entire continent.
This is an unprecedented achievement, and it is almost impossible for anyone to achieve it in the future.
What's more, that young man is still a Limit Douluo. Although they don't know the other party's specific cultivation level, but based on his record of personally destroying Shrek's Light and Dark Douluo, all forces also presuppose that he is a Limit Douluo, and there is a high probability that he is a quasi-god level Limit Douluo.
In addition, he is also the president of the Blacksmith Association, Spirit Pagoda Honorary Elder, and has a good relationship with the Body Sect. This person's influence is expanding at an alarming rate.
"Palace Master, do we need to contact Long Yuan?" Guan Yue asked.
Chen Xinjie shook his head, stood up, and walked to the window.
"No rush. Now let's get close to each other. What's the difference between Qiangu Dongfeng?"
Guan Yue said nothing.
Chen Xinjie was silent for a moment and then said, "However, send someone to pay attention to his movements. Especially pay attention to where he will go next. We cannot know anything about such a person."
Guan Yue nodded. "I will arrange it, but..."
He was silent for a while and then asked, "Palace Master, are you still thinking about what happened back then..."
"That's enough. I have my own sense of discretion. You can go ahead."
Guan Yue is ordered to retreat.
Chen Xinjie sat back on the chair, picked up the information and read it again.
"Long Yuan..." The murmur echoed in the empty hall.
