Three days later, Li Xuan drove a carriage to the outside of Gengxin City. The carriage slowly stopped outside Gengxin City. Li Xuan patted the door of the carriage, wanting to let Bang Chui take a look at the splendor of Gengxin City. .
"Brother, is this Gengxin City? The smell of metal here is so strong." Bangchui poked his head out of the carriage. His eyes that had just been attracted by the giant city were made uncomfortable by the smell of metal, so Bangchui frowned. Asked Li Xuan.
As the essence of Yimu, ginseng naturally hates metal, so when digging ginseng, you cannot use metal tools, but use wooden sticks or wooden boards.
"Yes, this is Gengxin City, the metal capital of the entire continent. The person we are going to find this time is here." Li Xuan nodded to the stick and said.
"Oh, then I'll go back and rest. Not only does it smell like metal, but it also smells like fire. I don't like it." Bangchui muttered, then returned to the carriage and continued to sleep.
Li Xuan looked at Bangchui's appearance and shook his head with a smile. Bangchui's appearance was also expected by Li Xuan.
However, Li Xuan didn't care about Bang Chui's appearance and drove directly into Gengxin City.
As soon as he entered Gengxin City, Li Xuan discovered a problem. The originally bustling Gengxin City turned out to be very deserted. Not only were there no pedestrians on the streets, but even the vendors setting up stalls were gone.
"Why is Gengxin City so quiet today? Could something have happened? It shouldn't be?" Li Xuan scratched his head and said in confusion.
Li Xuan thought for a while and finally decided to go to the Blacksmith Guild first.
As Li Xuan kept driving towards the inside of Gengxin City, Li Xuan unexpectedly heard Silong's voice.
"The way of forging lies in materials, heat and craftsmanship. The secrets in it can be said to be endless and countless..."
Li Xuan continued to drive forward. After turning a corner, Li Xuan saw countless blacksmiths sitting or standing gathered together. Their eyes were on Silong on the platform not far away.
Silong stood in a small square outside the Blacksmiths Guild, giving an impassioned speech.
This is a lecture held by the Blacksmiths Guild every month in order to improve the skills of Xie Blacksmiths so that they can live a better life.
"It's not a coincidence that I'm here today. Brother Silong actually has an open class." Li Xuan shook his head with a smile, looked at the surrounding environment, and then drove the carriage away.
Obviously, people from the whole city came here to listen to Silong's lectures. Although Silong was not a magician, he was still a master-level blacksmith, and his teachings were of great help to ordinary blacksmiths.
It seems that Silong has just started teaching, so the road in front of him should be impassable in a short time.
So Li Xuan took a detour and came to the back of the Blacksmiths Guild, and entered the Blacksmiths Guild through a small door.
There are no guards in this small door, which can only be used in emergency evacuation. Lou Gao is also worried that there are spies of the Qibao Glazed Sect in Gengxin City, so he informed Li Xuan of this small door to prevent Li Xuan from being attacked by Qibao. Liuli Sect discovered.
Li Xuan took the mallet directly to the fifth floor of the Blacksmith Guild. When he opened the door, he saw Lou Gao lying on the window listening to Silong's lecture.
It seemed that Lou Gao was listening with great interest. He probably wanted to hear about Silong's weaknesses and have the opportunity to help Silong correct them.
"Young man Li Xuan has met Mr. Lou." Li Xuan bowed respectfully to Mr. Lou.
As Lou Gao was his elder, it was normal for Li Xuan to salute him.
"Huh? Brother Xuan? Why are you here? When did you come? Why didn't I hear you?" Lou Gao was startled by Li Xuan. He turned around and looked at Li Xuan with surprise on his face and asked.
Maybe he was just concentrating on listening to Silong's lecture and wanted to find out what was wrong with Silong, so he didn't pay attention to the sounds around him. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Lou Gao's cultivation level in the soul saint realm not to hear the sound of Li Xuan entering the door, and also Li Xuan was shocked.
"Mr. Lou, half a year has passed since the auction. The space in Ladi Canyon has almost been built, so I specially invite you to go to Ladi Canyon and help me build the Sky Cannon." Li Xuan said to Lou Gao bowed deeply and said something to Lou Gao sincerely.
After Lou Gao heard what Li Xuan said, his eyes lit up.
To this day, Lou Gao can still think of the drawing that haunted him, even though it was a incomplete drawing.
That blueprint recorded a lot of things that he didn't know. If he could get the full set of blueprints, Lou Gao's forging skills could be improved again.
The Sky-shaking Cannon is not a soul tool, but a magical weapon!
The method of making soul tools is inferior to the systematic method of making magic tools in terms of materials and forging techniques, so Li Xuan felt that Lou Gao could get more.
"Brother Xuan, since we are about to set off, can you show me the complete set of drawings?" Lou Gao thought for a while and then asked Li Xuan. He also wanted to take a peek. After all, those drawings are so attractive.
"Of course there is no problem." Li Xuan happily agreed to Lou Gao's request, took out the purple gold box containing the entire set of Thunder Cannon blueprints from the space of the Zhangtian Bottle, and handed it to Lou Gao.
Lou Gao carefully took the purple gold box from Li Xuan's hand. After opening the box, there were stacks of drawings inside.
Looking at these drawings, Lou Gao was also extremely surprised. As long as there were enough drawings, Lou Gao could master the characteristics of this forging method, just like the armors and weapons Li Xuan took out.
Lou Gao carefully took out a blueprint from the purple gold box, slowly opened it, and then looked at it carefully.
Li Xuan and Bangchui stood aside, waiting quietly for Lou Gao to review the drawings.
What Lou Gao pulled out was a drawing of a third-order Sky-shaking Cannon, which can also be regarded as an entry-level blueprint for the Sky-shaking Cannon.
The more Lou Gao watched, the more excited he became. His face even turned rosy with excitement, and the look of obsession on his face became heavier and heavier.
"It's actually possible to deal with thunder crystals like this! It's amazing, this is really unbelievable!" Lou Gao held the blueprint in his hands and started to dance. It seemed that this blueprint was of great help to him.
"Brother, is this uncle a fool?" Bangchui shrank back in fear, and then asked Li Xuan.
"Of course not, don't be rude, call Grandpa Lou later." Li Xuan smiled and comforted the stick, and then said.
"Okay." Bangchui nodded, but still looked at the building with fear.
It took Lou Gao a while to realize that Li Xuan was still here, and he stopped dancing crazily. He stuffed the blueprint back into the purple gold box very quickly, and then pressed it hard on the purple gold box.
"Brother Xuan, this blueprint is really good and valuable. I agree to go to your territory to help you forge this thing. However, I still need to pack some things and explain some things to Silong before setting off. It will take about five days." Lou Gao lowered his eyes, frowned slightly, thought about it, and then gave Li Xuan some time.
"Of course there is no problem. In the past few days while you pack your things, I will go to a nearby city to purchase some supplies. In five days, I will come to Gengxin City to pick you up." Li Xuan thought for a while and said to Lou Gao.
"No problem, five days is enough time to arrange the affairs of the Blacksmith Guild." Lou Gao nodded, but his eyes were fixed on the purple gold box in Li Xuan's hand.
However, Lou Gao also knows that compared to other major forces, the Blacksmith Guild is riddled with holes and has no secrets at all. It can even be said that if Lou Gao forges a magical weapon, the first ones to know about it will not be Lou Gao's disciples. It's them.
"In that case, Mr. Lou, I will take my leave first." After hearing what Lou Gao said, Li Xuan also nodded. Now that Lou Gao has agreed to go to Ladi Canyon, the biggest goal of this trip has been completed. The next step is to purchase supplies.
However, this time, Li Xuan did not intend to purchase all the supplies. It was more important to send Lou Gao back to Ladi Canyon, so Li Xuan purchased as much as he could. After sending Lou Gao back to Ladi Canyon, he would not go out again.
"Brother Xuan, see you in five days!" Lou Gao also hugged his fists and said to Li Xuan.
After Lou Gao finished speaking, he ignored Li Xuan and started packing things in the blacksmith guild.
Looking at the building that was already moving, Li Xuan nodded, and then left the Blacksmith Guild with the mallet.
"Brother, the smell of metal here is too unpleasant..." After leaving the blacksmith guild, Bangchui whispered to Li Xuan?
"Haha, most of the land in Ladi Canyon will be used to grow medicinal materials and food in the future. You should like the taste." Li Xuan looked at Bang Chui and said with a smile.
"Yeah, I like the smell of plants." Bangchui nodded in response.
"Okay, in addition to bringing the building back this time, we also have to go to several surrounding cities to purchase materials. The buildings on the ground have already started to be built in Ladi Canyon, so more building materials will be needed, and there will be more Purchase a group of slaves..." Li Xuan rubbed his chin and muttered.
"Yeah, Bangchui will help me." Bangchui said to Li Xuan seriously.
"Okay, let's go." Li Xuan responded with a smile, and then the two of them got on the carriage and left Gengxin City.
……
Five days later, Li Xuan and Bangchui returned to Gengxin City.
In the past five days, Li Xuan had purchased all the supplies on the list in the eight small towns near Gengxin City. There were still some supplies that were not available in the nearby towns. He could only wait for Lou Gao to be sent back to Ladi Canyon. Went out to buy.
Li Xuan made a simple estimate and found that only half of the supplies in the list were purchased this time.
There was no way around it. The cities near Gengxin City were not very large, so supplies were relatively scarce. Many of the precious building materials had not even been heard of by the locals.
But there were other gains as well. Li Xuan bought a total of 1,800 strong slaves, all of whom were strong laborers from several nearby cities. It happened that there was a shortage of such people in Ladi Canyon.
Li Xuan found that it was much more convenient to purchase slaves in small quantities and multiple times in a small town than to purchase a large number of slaves at once in a big city, and it would not attract attention. Therefore, if Li Xuan wanted to purchase supplies again, he could go to the small town. Purchased here.
Today is the day agreed by Li Xuan and Lou Gao. Lou Gao has been waiting for Li Xuan in the blacksmith guild early.
At this time, in addition to Lou Gao, Li Xuan was waiting for his two or four apprentices. Li Xuan knew Silong and Siyu. The older of the remaining two people should be Sidi, and the last young apprentice was It must be Skye.
"Mr. Lou, how are you packing your things?" Li Xuan asked Lou Gao.
"Everything has been packed up. Besides me, I also want to take my apprentices Sidi and Siyu to your Ladi Canyon." Lou Gao pointed to the two apprentices behind him, and then said to Li Xuan.
"Of course it's a warm welcome. Don't worry, Mr. Lou. I have arranged an excellent forging room for you. You can bring four apprentices with you." Li Xuan smiled and nodded at Lou Gao. , These apprentices in Lou Gao are all serious master-level blacksmiths. They are also of great help in forging the Sky-shattering Cannon. Moreover, there are many forging places in the Fentian Twelve Pavilions. Li Xuan can definitely help them. They provide excellent forging conditions.
"You are so greedy. Silong needs to be responsible for the daily affairs of the Blacksmith Guild. Sikai is responsible for contacting these blacksmiths. Gengxin City cannot do without them." Lou Gao said with a smile and shook his head.
"Time is running out, Lou Gao, let's go." Li Xuan said to Lou Gao.
Lou Gao nodded, and then left here with Li Xuan. Sidi and Sikai followed Lou Gao downstairs.
Lou Gao didn't want anyone to know that he had left the Blacksmith Guild, so he left the Blacksmith Guild quietly.
However, as the only reliable master craftsman in the entire continent, Lou Gao's departure from the Blacksmith Guild should not be hidden.
Li Xuan also quickly left Gengxin City with Lou Gao, Sidi and Siyu.
After leaving Gengxin City, Li Xuan directly put on two horses that had been cultivated for a hundred years, rode the horses and whipped them, and returned to Ladi Canyon from Gengxin City in just one day.
It was already evening when we arrived at Ladi Canyon. It would be too late and too hard to enter Fentian Tower at this time.
So Li Xuan took Lou Gao and several others to live in a temporary camp outside Ladi Canyon.
"Mr. Lou, rest here all night today. Early tomorrow morning, I will take you to see the forging place I have prepared for you?" Li Xuan smiled at Lou Gao and said.
"Okay, let's rest today and recharge our batteries. We'll start working overtime tomorrow." Lou Gao looked at Li Xuan and smiled heartily.
"By the way, Brother Xuan, we've arrived at your territory. Can you show me the drawings?" Lou Gao suddenly spoke to Li Xuan.
"This is natural." Li Xuan didn't show any reluctance at all, and directly took the entire purple gold box out of the space of Zhang Tian Bottle and placed it in Lou Gao's hands.
Lou Gao's eyes widened in excitement.
"Brother Xuan, let's go back and rest first. See you tomorrow." Lou Gao and his two apprentices hurriedly left Li Xuan's room, not knowing where to go to study the drawings.
"Mr. Lou, take a rest early." Li Xuan looked at Lou Gao and couldn't help but smile, but he didn't care. Li Xuan liked simple craftsmen like Lou Gao, who had no scheming and it was easy to communicate. (End of chapter)
