Jun Yi was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded. "Senior, I am willing to take you as my disciple."
Upon hearing this answer, Lou Gao's face immediately lit up with a joyful smile. "Great, wonderful! Let's start learning now!"
"Senior, please don't be in a hurry. I actually have a small request, and I hope you will grant it."
"I'm your disciple now, so I'll agree to all your conditions," Lou Gao said excitedly.
" Brother Xue mentioned to you that he hopes you can join a new faction we've created..."
"Oh, I already agreed to that. Not only that, but a large number of blacksmiths are willing to join your new faction."
"That's wonderful! With your addition, a master craftsman, our strength will surely be greatly enhanced," Jun Yi said happily.
The two chatted as they walked until they arrived at the Spirit Hall's forging chamber, where Jun Yi explained the manufacturing process of Soul Tool to Lou Gao.
"First, we need to select suitable materials for crafting the Soul Tool," Jun Yi said, pointing to the various ores and metals laid out beside him. "These materials have undergone rigorous selection and purification, and can serve as the foundation for our Soul Tool crafting."
"Oh?" Lou Gao became interested. He walked to the ore nearby, picked up a black stone, and examined it. "What's this?"
"This is black iron ore, which contains abundant iron and small amounts of other metallic elements. It is one of the main materials for making Soul Tool," Jun Yi explained.
"Elements?" Lou Gao repeated, realizing that he still had much to learn about Soul Tool.
"Yes, iron is one of the main elements for making Soul Tool. This piece of black iron ore, after purification and forging, is generally used as the core of the Soul Tool's magic array." Jun Yi said, pointing to a large forging machine next to him, "This forging equipment can melt and repeatedly forge the black iron ore at high temperatures, ultimately producing a high-quality black iron plate. Of course, it is also Soul Tool."
"Black iron plate?" "Yes, black iron plate is one of the basic materials for making Soul Tool. On black iron plate, we can inscribe the Core Array of the Soul Tool and make them into real Soul Tool." As Jun Yi spoke, he took out a black iron plate with the structure of a small short sword inscribed on it.
"Is this the Soul Tool for the short sword?" Lou Gao asked.
"Yes, but this is only the basic structure. It will take many more steps to complete the final Soul Tool," Jun Yi said.
"That's amazing!" Lou Gao exclaimed. "It seems I really do have a lot to learn."
"It's alright, I'll teach you slowly," Jun Yi comforted him. In the following time, Jun Yi began to introduce Lou Gao to the various production processes and techniques of Soul Tool, giving a detailed explanation of aspects such as material selection, smelting, forging, engraving, carving, splicing, and polishing.
Lou Gao listened attentively, asking questions and pondering them, and Jun Yi patiently answered them. Time flew by, and before they knew it, evening had arrived. Jun Yi glanced at the sky and said, "Senior, let's stop here for today. It's dinner time. We'll continue our studies tomorrow."
"Alright, alright, I've really learned a lot today, and I need to digest it properly. I'll be waiting for you here tomorrow morning." Lou Gao nodded repeatedly, his gaze towards Jun Yi filled with appreciation.
The two walked out of the Spirit Hall's forging room and headed towards the dining hall. On the way, Jun Yi suddenly asked, "Senior, where are you staying now?" "I don't have a place to stay yet, but there are many inns in Spirit City, so I'll just find one that's nearby," Lou Gao replied.
"That won't do. Here's what I'll do: I'll have someone arrange accommodation for you right inside the Spirit Hall. That way, you won't have to travel back and forth," Jun Yi said.
Lou Gao didn't mince words and readily agreed. During the meal, Lou Gao kept exchanging ideas with Jun Yi about the latest developments and technological advancements in the blacksmithing industry. After entering Spirit City, the various Soul Tool he saw made Lou Gao feel like he was truly in the future, which strengthened his belief in learning about Soul Tool.
After dinner, Jun Yi arranged for someone to take Lou Gao back to his residence. Before leaving, Jun Yi said to Lou Gao, "Senior, please get some rest. I'll discuss Soul Tool technology with you again tomorrow morning." "Okay, okay," Lou Gao replied repeatedly, his admiration for the young man's abilities and vision growing stronger.
When Jun Yi returned to the Papal Palace, he hesitated, unsure whether to go back to his own room or Bibi Dong's. After much deliberation, Jun Yi made up his mind to return to his own room. After all, he was like a wolf in his thirties, a tiger in his forties, and a sucker of life in his fifties. He was afraid he would be completely drained and unable to get out of bed the next day.
The moonlight shone like water over Spirit City at night. Jun Yi returned to his room with mixed feelings.
But when he opened his bedroom door, the sight before him startled him. Bibi Dong was lying on the bed, dressed in a deep purple robe. The moonlight shone on her face, making her look even more aloof and beautiful. She looked at Jun Yi, her eyes flashing with a seductive and alluring light.
"Dong, Sister Dong'er, what are you doing in my bed?" Jun Yi asked, feigning composure. "I knew you were the kind of person who'd eat and run, and probably wouldn't come looking for me tonight, so I had no choice but to come find you."
Jun Yi's heart was pounding. The allure of Bibi Dong was simply too captivating; he couldn't take his eyes off her.
Bibi Dong chuckled softly, her voice as melodious as a silver bell. She slowly sat up in bed, her allure enhanced by the moonlight. She extended her hand to Jun Yi and said gently, " Little Brother Yi, it's time for bed."
Jun Yi's heart raced. He swallowed hard, walked to the bedside, and sat down. Bibi Dong leaned on his shoulder, her hand gently around his waist. The two sat quietly on the bed, enjoying this rare moment of peace. After a long while, Bibi Dong softly said, " Jun Yi, I'm wearing your favorite thing."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong actually wrapped her legs around Jun Yi, clinging to his back like a spider. Jun Yi Jun Yi looked down and discovered that Bibi Dong was wearing black stockings under her long skirt? What was going on? How did everyone know about her little quirk?
" Sister Dong'er, you..." Before Jun Yi could finish speaking, Bibi Dong had already silenced him with her soft lips. Then, she gently untied Jun Yi's belt and took off his clothes.
Jun Yi felt his body being dominated by a strong desire. He wanted to refuse, but his body was already too slow to react.
"Do you like it? If you do, don't hold back."
