In Douluo, Wuhun holds the Tianping
Chapter 192 Invitation to Lou Gao
Three days later, Li Xuan drove a horse-drawn carriage to the outside of Gengxin City. The carriage slowly stopped outside the city. Li Xuan patted the door of the carriage, wanting to let Bangchui see the magnificence of Gengxin City.
"Brother, is this Gengxin City? The smell of metal is so strong here." Bangchui poked his head out of the carriage. His attention, which had just been attracted by the huge city, was made uncomfortable by the smell of metal, so Bangchui frowned and asked Li Xuan.
Ginseng, as the essence of Yi wood, naturally hates metal, so when digging ginseng, you cannot use metal tools, you have to use wooden sticks or 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 Bangchui and said.
"Oh, then I'll go back and rest. There's not only the smell of metal here, but also the smell of fire. I don't like it." Bangchui muttered, then went back to the carriage and continued to sleep.
Li Xuan looked at Bangchui's expression and shook his head with a smile. Bangchui's expression was also within Li Xuan's expectations.
However, Li Xuan didn't care about Bangchui'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 was suddenly very deserted. Not only were there no pedestrians on the streets, even the street vendors were gone.
"Why is Gengxin City so quiet today? Did something happen? This shouldn't be possible?" 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 continued to drive towards Gengxin City, he actually heard Silong's voice.
"The art of forging lies in materials, temperature and craftsmanship. The mysteries involved are endless and countless..."
Li Xuan continued to drive forward. After turning a corner, Li Xuan saw countless blacksmiths gathered together, some sitting and some standing. Their eyes were all on Silong who was on the platform not far away.
Silong stood in a small square outside the Blacksmiths Guild and gave a passionate speech.
This is the lecture that the Blacksmith Guild holds every month, which aims to improve the skills of the blacksmiths so that they can live a better life.
"It's a bad omen that I came here today. Brother Silong actually has an open class." Li Xuan smiled and shook his head, looked at the surrounding environment, and then drove the carriage away.
Obviously, everyone in the city came here to listen to Silong's lectures. Although Silong was not a master blacksmith, he was also a master-level blacksmith. His teachings were of great help to ordinary blacksmiths.
It seems that Silong has just started teaching, so the road ahead will probably be blocked in the short term.
So Li Xuan took a detour and came to the back of the Blacksmith Guild, and entered the Blacksmith Guild through a small door.
There are no guards in this small door, and it can only be used in emergency evacuation. Lou Gao was worried that there might be spies from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in Gengxin City, so he told Li Xuan about this small door to prevent Li Xuan from being discovered by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Li Xuan brought the hammer directly to the fifth floor of the Blacksmith Guild. When he opened the door, he saw Lou Gao leaning on the window listening to Silong's lecture.
It seems that Lou Gao is listening with great interest. I think he wants to hear about Silong's weaknesses and have a chance to help Silong correct them.
"I, Li Xuan, greet Mr. Lou." Li Xuan bowed respectfully to Lou Gao.
As Lou Gao was his elder, it was normal for Li Xuan to bow to 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 and asked.
Maybe he was just concentrating on listening to Silong's lecture and wanted to find Silong's problem, so he didn't pay attention to the sounds around him. Otherwise, with Lou Gao's cultivation level at the Soul Saint realm, it is impossible that he didn't hear the sound of Li Xuan coming in, and he was even startled by Li Xuan.
"Mr. Lou, half a year has passed since we last attended the auction. The space inside the Radi Canyon has been almost completed, so I came here specially to invite you to go to the Radi Canyon and help me build the sky-shaking cannon." Li Xuan bowed deeply to Lou Gao and said to him in a sincere tone.
After hearing Li Xuan's words, Lou Gao's eyes lit up.
To this day, Lou Gao can still recall the drawing that haunts him, although it is an incomplete one.
That drawing recorded a lot of things that he didn't know. If he could get the complete set of drawings, Lou Gao's forging skills would be improved again.
The Sky-shaking Cannon is not a soul-guiding device, but a magic weapon!
The method of making soul guides is not as good as the systematic method of making magical tools in terms of materials or forging technology, so Li Xuan feels that Lou Gao can 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 see it first. After all, those drawings were so attractive.
"That's of course no problem." Li Xuan readily agreed to Lou Gao's request, took out the purple gold box containing a complete set of Zhentian Cannon blueprints from the space in the Zhantian Bottle, and handed it to Lou Gao.
Lou Gao carefully took the purple gold box from Li Xuan's hand. After opening the box, he found stacks of drawings inside.
Looking at these drawings, Lou Gao was also extremely surprised. As long as there were enough drawings, Lou Gao could also master the characteristics of this forging method, just like the armor and weapons that Li Xuan took out.
Lou Gao carefully took out a drawing from the purple gold box, slowly opened it, and then looked at it carefully.
Li Xuan and Bangchui stood aside, quietly waiting for Lou Gao to check the drawings.
What Lou Gao pulled out was a blueprint of a third-level Sky-shaking Cannon, which was also considered an introductory blueprint for the Sky-shaking Cannon.
The more Lou Gao looked, the more excited he became, his face even turned red with excitement, and the obsession on his face became more and more intense.
"It turns out that thunder crystal can be processed in this way! It's amazing, it's really unbelievable!" Lou Gao held the blueprint in his hand and started dancing with joy. 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 me Grandpa Lou later." Li Xuan smiled and comforted Bangchui, then said.
"Okay." Bangchui nodded, but still looked at Lou Gao with fear.
It took Lou Gao a while to realize that Li Xuan was still here, and he stopped dancing like crazy. He quickly stuffed the blueprint back into the purple gold box, and then pressed it hard on the purple gold box.
"Xuan'er, this blueprint is a really good thing and it is indeed valuable. I agree to go to your territory to help you forge this thing, but I still need to pack some things and explain some things to Silong before I can set off. It will take about five days." Lou Gao lowered his eyes, frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then gave Li Xuan a time.
"That's of course no problem. You pack your things for a few days. I will go to a nearby city to purchase some supplies. I will pick you up in Gengxin City in five days." Li Xuan thought for a while and said to Lou Gao.
"No problem, five days is enough 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 knew that the Blacksmith Guild was completely isolated from other major forces and had no secrets at all. It could even be said that if Lou Gao forged a magic weapon, the first ones to know about it would not be Lou Gao's disciples, but them.
"In that case, Mr. Lou, I'll take my leave first." After hearing what Lou Gao said, Li Xuan nodded. Now that Lou Gao has agreed to go to Radi Canyon, the biggest goal of this trip has been achieved. The next step is to purchase supplies.
However, this time, Li Xuan did not plan to purchase all the supplies. It was more important to send Lou Gao back to Radi Canyon, so Li Xuan would purchase as much as he could. After sending Lou Gao back to Radi Canyon, the worst that could happen was that he would go out again.
"Brother Xuan, see you in five days!" Lou Gao also clasped his fists and said to Li Xuan.
After Lou Gao finished speaking, he ignored Li Xuan and started packing up his things in the Blacksmith Guild.
Looking at the building that was already in operation, Li Xuan nodded, then left the Blacksmith Guild with the hammer.
"Brother, the smell of metal here is so bad..." After leaving the Blacksmith Guild, Bangchui whispered to Li Xuan?
"Haha, most of the land in Radi Canyon will be used to grow medicinal herbs and grains in the future. You should like the taste." Li Xuan said with a smile as he looked at Bangchui.
"Yeah, I like the smell of plants." Bangchui nodded in response.
"Okay, this time besides bringing Lou Gao back, we also need to purchase supplies from several surrounding cities. The construction of ground buildings has already begun in Radi Canyon, so more building materials will be needed, and we also need to purchase a batch of slaves..." Li Xuan touched his chin and muttered.
"Yes, Bangchui will help me." Bangchui said to Li Xuan seriously.
"Okay, let's go." Li Xuan responded to Bangchui 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.
During these five days, Li Xuan purchased all the supplies on the list in the eight small towns near Gengxin City. However, there were still some supplies that were not available in the nearby small towns, so he could only wait until Lou Gao was sent back to Radi Canyon before he could go out to buy them.
Li Xuan made a simple estimate and concluded that he had only purchased half of the supplies on the list this time.
There was no way. The cities near Gengxin City were not very large, so supplies were relatively scarce. Many precious building materials had never even been heard of by the locals.
But there were other gains as well. Li Xuan bought a total of 1,800 strong slaves. These were the elite laborers gathered from several nearby cities. It just so happened that there was a shortage of such people in the Radi Canyon.
Li Xuan discovered that purchasing slaves in small quantities and multiple times in a small town was much more convenient than purchasing a large number of slaves at once in a big city, and it would not attract attention. So if Li Xuan wanted to purchase supplies again, he could go to the small town to purchase them.
Today is the day that Li Xuan and Lou Gao agreed upon. Lou Gao had been waiting for Li Xuan in the Blacksmith Guild early in the morning.
Besides Lou Gao, there were also two of his four apprentices waiting for Li Xuan at this time. Li Xuan knew Silong and Siyu. Among the remaining two, the older one should be Sidi, and the last youngest apprentice should be Sikai.
"Mr. Lou, how is the packing going?" Li Xuan asked Lou Gao.
"Everything has been packed up. In addition to myself, I also want to bring my apprentices Sidi and Siyu to your Radi Canyon." Lou Gao pointed at the two apprentices behind him, and then said to Li Xuan.
"Of course you are warmly welcome. Don't worry, Mr. Lou, I have already arranged an excellent forging room for you. You can go with your four apprentices." Li Xuan smiled and nodded at Lou Gao. These apprentices of Lou Gao were all genuine master-level blacksmiths. They would be of great help in forging the Zhentian Cannon. Moreover, there were many forging places in the Twelve Pavilions of Fentian. Li Xuan could provide them with excellent forging conditions.
"You are so greedy. Silong also needs the daily management of the Blacksmith Guild. Sikai is responsible for contacting these blacksmiths. Gengxin City cannot do without them." Lou Gao smiled and shook his head.
"Time is running out, Mr. Lou, let's set off." Li Xuan said to Lou Gao.
Lou Gao nodded, then left with Li Xuan. Sidi and Sikai followed Lou Gao downstairs.
Lou Gao didn't intend to let anyone know that he had left the Blacksmith Guild, so he left the Guild quietly.
However, as the only reliable master craftsman in the entire continent, the fact that Lou Gao had left the Blacksmith Guild could not be concealed.
Li Xuan also quickly took Lou Gao, Sidi and Siyu and left Gengxin City.
After leaving Gengxin City, Li Xuan directly changed to two horses that were cultivated for a hundred years, and whipped the horses. He returned to Radi Canyon from Gengxin City in just one day.
It was already night when we arrived at Radi Canyon. If we entered the Burning Heaven Tower at this time, it would be too late and too tiring.
So Li Xuan and Lou Gao and a few others lived in a temporary camp outside the Radi Canyon.
"Mr. Lou, why don't you rest here tonight? Tomorrow morning, I will take you to see the forging place I prepared for you?" Li Xuan said to Lou Gao with a smile.
"Okay, take a rest today and recharge your energy. We will start working overtime tomorrow." Lou Gao looked at Li Xuan and smiled heartily.
"By the way, Brother Xuan, we are already at your territory. Can you show me the blueprint?" Lou Gao suddenly said to Li Xuan.
"Of course." Li Xuan did not feel reluctant at all. He directly took out the entire purple gold box from the space in the Zhantian Bottle and placed it in Lou Gao's hand.
Lou Gao's eyes widened with excitement.
"Xuan brother, let's go back and rest first. See you tomorrow." Lou Gao and his two apprentices hurriedly left Li Xuan's room, and no one knew where they went to study the drawings.
"Mr. Lou, go to bed early." Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh at Lou Gao's appearance, but he didn't care. Li Xuan liked simple-minded craftsmen like Lou Gao, who had no ulterior motives and were easy to communicate with. (End of this chapter)
