After hearing Fang Yuan out, Bibi Dong fell silent for a long while, but finally nodded. "Very well. I'll have Spirit Hall round up some suitable blacksmiths."
Yet Fang Yuan smiled and shook his head at her answer.
Under Bibi Dong's puzzled gaze, Fang Yuan said calmly, "How good could any blacksmith you simply rounded up possibly be?"
Bibi Dong paused. "Then what do you propose?"
Fang Yuan answered without hesitation. "The world's blacksmiths hail from Gengxin, which is also known as the City of Blacksmiths. I want you to come to Gengxin City with me."
Bibi Dong frowned deeply. "You want me to go too?"
Fang Yuan smiled and nodded. "Exactly."
Besides Bibi Dong, Fang Yuan also intended to try bringing Hu Liena along. With three people possessing Divine Slaughter's Domain together, the chances of luring Tang Chen out would undoubtedly rise considerably.
Moreover, having Bibi Dong, the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, accompany them would spare them plenty of trouble.
Things did not go as planned. Fang Yuan's trip failed to draw an attack from Tang Chen. He could not tell whether Slaughter City had yet to be completely destroyed or whether the old bastard feared even Bibi Dong and had stayed hidden, not daring to strike.
Still, the trip was not fruitless. After bringing a group of high-ranking blacksmiths led by Lou Gao into the fold, Spirit Hall's Soul Tool Hall could finally begin its work in earnest.
Fang Yuan held nothing back. He gave the apprentice soul engineers dispatched by Spirit Hall the blueprints for soul ray guns and flying soul tools of every rank, even providing hands-on instruction himself.
With Spirit Hall sparing no expense, its Soul Tool Hall developed at a pace that left everyone else in the dust despite its late start.
