Douluo: Qian Renxue’s Road to Defeating the Gods

Chapter 545. The Past of Master Craftsman Lou Gao

On the third floor of Tiangong Pavilion, in front of a huge furnace, a slightly short man was watching the flames in the furnace meticulously, controlling the temperature of the furnace with full concentration, and had no idea that someone was coming behind him.

"Teacher, look who's here!"

"Who's here? Silong, don't bother me while I'm building it!"

Lou Gaoli ignored Silong and continued to stand in front of the stove, staring nervously at the things inside the stove, fearing that all his efforts would be wasted if he was not careful.

Silong smiled awkwardly at Qian Renxue and was about to call out again, but was stopped by Qian Renxue who whispered, "Thank you Master Silong for leading the way. I'll wait here for a while. You can go and do your work first."

"Well... okay..." Silong looked at the approachable Qian Renxue and nodded respectfully. It was a blessing for the Spirit Hall to have such a young master.

Qian Renxue found a chair and sat down, while the master craftsman Lou Gao continued to control the temperature of the furnace. Until dusk, when the final quenching was completed, Lou Gao finally laughed out loud!

"Haha... it's done! It's done! Buddha's Wrath Lotus! What an exquisite design!" Lou Gao couldn't let go of a small metal lotus, held it in the palm of his hand, put on a magnifying glass, and carefully looked at the details on it.

"Congratulations to Master Lou Gao."

When Qian Renxue saw that Master Craftsman Lou Gao had completed his work, she stood up and congratulated him.

"Hahaha, that's... eh?" Lou Gao suddenly realized why it was a female voice. There were no female craftsmen in the Tiangong Pavilion. When he looked back, he was also shocked. Isn't this the young master of the Spirit Hall who had disappeared for a long time!

"I didn't know the young master was coming. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you!"

Lou Gao put down the Buddha's Wrath Lotus and quickly walked up to Qian Renxue.

"Master Craftsman Lou Gao, this hidden weapon is indeed very exquisite, but it is not difficult for you at all. Now that you have successfully made the Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus, the rest of the hidden weapons should be easy for you to make."

In Tang San's memory, the Buddha's Wrath Lotus seemed to be a treasure of the Tang Sect, and it had even been lost in his time. Of course, he succeeded in bringing it back to the world, but it also paved the way for the Spirit Hall. If he saw the Buddha's Wrath Lotus, who knows what kind of expressions he would have. But all this is thanks to Lou Gao, Douluo Continent's own genius.

"Young Master, you have misrepresented me. If you hadn't provided me with complete information on making hidden weapons, how would I have had the opportunity to touch and make this thing?"

Although Qian Renxue had never participated in the matter of winning over Lou Gao, she understood from Lou Gao's words that winning over Lou Gao by using her own name was also paving the way for herself very early on. She was probably the only person in the entire Blacksmith Association who was grateful to her, so her intentions were good.

"It's like this, Master Craftsman. Although hidden weapons are indeed very powerful, and their lethality and portability far exceed the weapons of our time, they are tools made for killing. If Spirit Hall wants to save the world, it can't just produce tools that are made for killing. I hope Master Craftsman Lou Gao can make a tool to counter these things."

This hidden weapon is not only possessed by the Spirit Hall, but the Tang Clan is also frantically producing it under the instigation of the Power Clan. We must find a way to make a countermeasure.

"Young Master, I understand what you mean, but isn't this hidden weapon owned by Spirit Hall alone?" Otherwise, why would they research countermeasures? "Nothing can be hidden from Master Lou Gao. Yes, in addition to us, the Tang Sect also has one, which is a sect founded by Tang San, the successor of the Sea God."

"This..." Lou Gao was a little surprised. He went crazy when he got the hidden weapon manufacturing diagram. He didn't like anything related to the outside world and preferred to do research. But he was still surprised to hear the news.

"I might as well tell Master Lou Gao directly that the owner of these so-called hidden weapons is Tang San."

"This... Heroes emerge from youth... He is so young and yet he can invent these things. It seems that I am really old..."

It's really sad to see that Tang San is only about fifteen or sixteen years old, he's really scary.

"You are wrong. These things were not invented by him. He just brought them here. To put it simply, he is not from this world. He died in that world and his soul came to Douluo Continent with his memories and entered Tang San's body. That is why he achieved such success. He was 29 years old when he died in his previous life. In terms of age, he is only a little younger than you."

"Ah?" Lou Gao felt it was incredible. Previous life? Soul? A different world?

"Young Master said..."

Qian Renxue waved her hand and interrupted Master Lou Gao's speech. She knew that if someone else said this to Lou Gao, he would definitely think that person was a lunatic. But since it was her, Master Lou Gao would not think she was joking. It was just that he found it hard to accept it now.

"Master Lou Gao, promoting these things is only degrading our own civilization. I think we need to revive our civilization and crush that guy's pride."

This is Qian Renxue's purpose. Soul guides are far superior to so-called hidden weapons. Hidden weapons can only be used to kill people, but soul guides are tools that can change the world!
"Our own civilization? I don't understand what you are talking about..."

"Soul Guidance Devices, we must revive the civilization of Soul Guidance Devices!"

Qian Renxue's words made Master Lou Gao wilted immediately. He even gave people the feeling that he had aged a lot in an instant, and his voice was a little weak.

"Young Master, to be honest, I really don't have that ability. I have actually been researching soul guides before joining the Spirit Hall, and I wanted to use it to change the status of blacksmiths, but I really got nothing. Please forgive me for being unable to help..."

Lou Gao looked gloomy, his thoughts were pulled back to his childhood, his father was also a blacksmith, he followed his father in his footsteps and started to make iron and tools at a very young age, although he had a good income, his status was always low, he vowed to change this situation, as he grew older, his reputation became more and more famous, his inventions were not only recognized by many people, but also by the noblest profession in the continent, the soul master!
The things he made have become hot items at auctions, and because of this, he also came into contact with expensive and magical things such as soul guides.

When he was young, he devoted himself to the research of soul guides, but reality eventually extinguished his passionate heart. He finally returned to being a blacksmith and immersed himself in the research of iron tools, gradually becoming silent...

"Young Master, I advise you to put this thing down, this is impossible..."

"Our ancestors created the soul guide civilization and promoted soul guides, but because of the God Realm, everything was destroyed. As the younger generation, are we just going to accept our fate and obey the arrangements of the God Realm, being submissive and obedient like insects and ants?"
