In Douluo, Wuhun holds the Tianping

Chapter 280 Visiting the City of Instruments

After the two people stood up from the ground, Li Xuan put away the lantern and blanket.

Zhu Zhuqing also lowered her head and waited for Li Xuan.

After Li Xuan packed up his things, he and Zhu Zhuqing lowered their heads and did not speak, just walking side by side quietly towards the main city.

"Zhu Qing, you haven't slept all night. Are you very sleepy? I was thinking of taking you to Qicheng today. Senior Lou Gao is here, and I wanted to ask him to help you forge two daggers. But we stayed up all night last night. Do you still have the energy to go shopping?" Li Xuan broke the silence first, scratched his head, and then said to Zhu Zhuqing.

"I'm not sleepy, but there's no need, Senior Lou. The Iron-Cutting Dagger you gave me is very useful. It would be a waste to forge another dagger." Zhu Zhuqing shook her head slightly and didn't want to change the dagger.

I don't know if it's because the quality of the dagger is good enough, or because the dagger was given by Li Xuan...

"Zhu Qing, now Qi City has mastered some soul guide manufacturing techniques and can already produce soul guide weapons. Here, take a look, this is the finished product produced a few years ago. The current technology should be better than before." Li Xuan said as he took out the three-star heavy sword and showed it to Zhu Zhuqing.

The three-star heavy sword uses the soul guides that Li Xuan brought back from the killing treasure house. The weapons were made after research and use top-quality materials. They were made by Lou Gao himself.

Moreover, this was a work from several years ago. Now that Lou Gao has mastered the production method of the Zhentian Cannon, I believe that the soul guide weapon he produces will be even better than before.

Zhu Zhuqing took the three-star heavy sword from Li Xuan's hand, examined it carefully, and after inputting soul power, the gems on the sword slowly lit up. Zhu Zhuqing also felt the effect of the soul guide on the three-star heavy sword.

"It really is a soul guide device!" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Li Xuan in surprise.

After spending a long time with Li Xuan, Zhu Zhuqing has become accustomed to the strange things here.

Compared with the production of soul guides, the production of puppets is obviously more complicated and difficult.

"Of course. This was made by Senior Lou Gaolou himself. This time, I will also ask Senior Lou to make a dagger for you personally." Li Xuan said with a smile as he patted the three-star heavy sword.

"Xuan'er, please put it away quickly. This is a good thing. If it were sold outside, this sword would be sold at a sky-high price. This kind of soul guide weapon has always been in short supply." Zhu Zhuqing returned the three-star heavy sword to Li Xuan.

"This thing could have been mass-produced in Radi Canyon several years ago." Li Xuan smiled and shook his head, but still put the three-star heavy sword back into the small cave.

Although the three-star heavy sword is not that expensive, Li Xuan finds it very easy to use.

At this time, the sun has risen and the morning sun has also risen.

"Zhuqing, we two have to hurry up, or we won't be able to catch up with them for dinner." Li Xuan said to Zhu Zhuqing with a smile.

"Yes, yes, let's go quickly!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded seriously, then ran quickly towards the main city.

"Wait for me, wait for me!" Li Xuan hurriedly chased after Zhu Zhuqing.

Young boys and girls chased each other in the morning sun, so happy...

……

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Li Xuan and Zhu Zhuqing went straight to the restaurant. At this time, Baichuan and Bangchui had already arrived at the restaurant and were having breakfast.

"Brother, good morning, Sister Zhuqing!" Bangchui put down the steamed bun in his hand and greeted Li Xuan and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Master, Miss Zhuqing!" Baichuan also nodded with a smile.

"Good morning!" Li Xuan and Zhu Zhuqing responded, then found a seat and started eating.

Originally, there were only seats for Li Xuan, Bai Chuan and Bang Chui in the restaurant in the City Lord's Mansion in the main city. After all, only the three of them could eat here. If there were more people, they would go directly to the banquet hall.

But now that Zhu Zhuqing is here, the restaurant can accommodate everyone.

"Brother, where are we going today?" Bangchui asked Li Xuan curiously.

Since Zhu Zhuqing has come to Radi Canyon, Li Xuan must take Zhu Zhuqing for a stroll in Radi Canyon.

"We're going to Qicheng later, are you going?" Li Xuan asked Bangchui.

"Qicheng... Well, I won't go there. I don't like the smell there, a smell of sulfur." ​​Bangchui said with obvious disappointment.

Bangchui is the incarnation of a 100,000-year-old ginseng. He has a natural wood attribute, so he doesn't like places with high temperatures at all and has never liked Qicheng.

"Then young master, I will accompany you and drive for you two!" Bai Chuan said to Li Xuan with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Bai." Li Xuan nodded with a smile, and then started to eat.

The porridge cooked with longya rice has a mellow flavor, a long aftertaste and tastes particularly fragrant.

Half an hour later, the four of them had eaten and drunk their fill. Bangchui practiced his soul power at home, while Baichuan went to harness the carriage and drove towards Qicheng with Li Xuan and Zhu Zhuqing.

……

Walk along the cement road towards Qicheng.

At this time, the farmlands on both sides are full of crops, and the vast green rice fields are very pleasing to the eye.

We came back too late yesterday. Although we saw some scenery, it was not as comprehensive as what we saw during the day.

Zhu Zhuqing was also leaning against the car window, looking at the rice fields outside and the buildings in the rice fields.

Soon, the carriage arrived outside Qicheng.

Looking at the huge city in front of him, Zhu Zhuqing thought he had left the Radi Canyon and returned to the Xingluo Empire.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced around and saw the familiar rice fields. Only then did she realize that she was still in the Ladi Valley.

"Is this Qicheng? It's so spectacular." Zhu Zhuqing nodded to Li Xuan and said.

"Yes, this is Qi City. This city was originally built to manufacture something, but now it has been converted into a laboratory for metal research. Normally, they seldom produce anything, and mainly focus on research and development." Li Xuan introduced Qi City to Zhu Zhuqing.

Qi City was originally a city specially built for Lou Gao to study the Zhentian Cannon. Later, after the fifth-level Zhentian Cannon was produced, Lou Gao no longer needed to continue producing Zhentian Cannon in Qi City.

So after some research, Lou Gao and Li Xuan decided to transform Qicheng into a blacksmith training base focusing on scientific research and teaching.

He also worked for Lou Gao and researched the Giant Whale.

Sidi, Silong, Siyu and Sikai take turns serving as vice president of the Blacksmith Guild and deputy city lord of Qicheng.

In this case, there are usually at least three master-level blacksmiths in the Instrument City studying the basics of the Sky-shaking Cannon and completing the scientific research tasks of Lou Gao. Zhu Zhuqing nodded, then got off the carriage with Li Xuan and walked towards the Instrument City on foot.

Nowadays, all the slaves in the weapon city have learned the blacksmith craft, and Han Shucheng has also sent people to teach them characters to facilitate their learning of the production of soul guides. Now these blacksmiths have become educated blacksmiths.

Li Xuan and his two companions were relatively low-key, so no one recognized them. They were shopping and enjoying the scenery along the way.

Soon, the three of them arrived outside the twelve Burning Heaven Pavilions.

"It feels so hot inside." Zhu Zhuqing also felt the high temperature here and whispered to Li Xuan.

"The name of these attics is Burning Heaven Pavilion. There is a ground fire well in each of them. This is the furnace fire used for forging. These ground fires never go out, so the temperature here is inevitably higher. This is why the little guy Bangchui doesn't like to come here." Li Xuan explained to Zhu Zhuqing with a smile.

"So that's how it is. But the name of Burning Heaven Pavilion is too exaggerated. What kind of fire can burn the sky?" Zhu Zhuqing said to Li Xuan with a smile.

"Of course it can't be an ordinary flame. Come, I'll take you to the Fentian Main Pavilion to see the underground fire." Li Xuan said to Zhu Zhuqing with a smile, and then took Zhu Zhuqing into the Fentian Pavilion.

When the door was opened, a wave of heat hit her in the face, and Zhu Zhuqing hid directly behind Li Xuan.

"Don't be afraid. Although the temperature is high, it won't hurt anyone." Li Xuan said with a smile, patting Zhu Zhuqing's little hand.

"Oh..." Zhu Zhuqing responded, and then followed Li Xuan.

Li Xuan brought Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chuan into the Fentian Pavilion. When they saw the never-extinguished underground fire, Zhu Zhuqing also showed a shocked expression.

This was also the first time Zhu Zhuqing had seen such a stove.

Siyu, who was smelting metal, noticed Li Xuan coming and immediately broke into a bright smile.

"Xuan brother, you're back! Long time no see!" Siyu smiled heartily, then spoke to Li Xuan in a loud voice.

"Yes, Brother Siyu, long time no see." Li Xuan also smiled and clasped his fists towards Siyu.

"Is this... my brother's sister-in-law? Sure, Xuan'er, you went out and brought back a beautiful girl." Siyu joked with a smile.

Zhu Zhuqing's face turned red instantly, as she was a shy girl.

"Si Yu, you little bastard, don't be lazy, start hammering right away, or you'll be satisfied in a while!" Sidi's voice came from the other side of the Burning Heaven Furnace.

"Brother Xuan is back. Please sit down and wait for a moment. We will talk again after these parts are made." Sidi and Li Xuan waved and greeted each other with a smile.

"You go ahead and do your work, we'll go shopping." Li Xuan said to Sidi with a smile.

"Okay, Xuan'er, I won't accompany you. These parts are requested by the teacher himself, so we have to hurry up. After we finish these few days, we will go to the City Lord's Mansion to find you." Sidi nodded, and then went back to work.

"Let's go, Zhuqing. I'll take you to visit Fentian Pavilion. There are a lot of interesting things here." Li Xuan smiled and nodded at Zhu Zhuqing, then took Zhu Zhuqing to visit Fentian Pavilion.

Except for the storage room of the Zhentian Cannon, Li Xuan took Zhu Zhuqing to visit other places before coming out of the Fentian Pavilion.

After coming out of the Fentian Main Pavilion, Li Xuan took Zhu Zhuqing on a tour of the Instrument City.

At noon, Bai Chuan took Li Xuan and Zhu Zhuqing back to the City Lord's Mansion for lunch.

"How do you feel about Qicheng? Do you have any suggestions?" Li Xuan asked Zhu Zhuqing at the dining table.

"The architecture of Qicheng is very exquisite, with better structure than the imperial palace. It might be a bit of a waste if it was just given to the blacksmith." Zhu Zhuqing said to Li Xuan with a frown.

Li Xuan just smiled and shook his head without saying anything more. The Yellow Turban Warriors built a fairy palace, which was not more exquisite than the imperial palace of the Xing Luo Empire.

"What's the big deal? In addition to the Qi City, there is also a Medicine City and a Wine City in the Radi Canyon. These are the places for refining elixirs and brewing wine respectively. They were all built by the same construction team. And it's not a waste to give them to blacksmiths. The Qi City itself was designed for blacksmiths." Li Xuan explained to Zhu Zhuqing with a smile.

"Indeed, Fentian Pavilion and all the houses are not too luxurious. They are all very ordinary houses." Zhu Zhuqing nodded after hearing what Li Xuan said.

"By the way, Zhuqing, there is a shipyard near Qicheng. I bought a soul-guided sea vessel at the White Tiger Auction a few years ago. Master Lou Gao should be researching this thing in the shipyard." Li Xuan said to Zhu Zhuqing with a smile.

"Okay, let's go in the afternoon." Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said.

"Bangchui, are you going?" Li Xuan asked Bangchui?
"Go, go. The shipyard was not completed when we went out to school last time. I have to go and take a look no matter what." When Bangchui heard Li Xuan asking him, he immediately became excited, jumped up and said that he also wanted to go and take a look.

"Okay, go ahead, no problem!" Li Xuan responded with a smile.

Then a few people ate seriously and set off immediately after the meal.

……

After having a good meal and a few drinks, the group of four set off and headed towards the shipyard.

The shipyard is located near Qicheng and covers a very large area. After all, seagoing ships are very large, so the required processing base naturally needs to be very large.

"Is this the shipyard?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at the huge building in front of her, blinked, and asked Li Xuan curiously.

"Yes, the Giant Whale itself is very large, so whether it is research and development or manufacturing of a new ship, it requires a large space and a lot of people." Li Xuan said to Zhu Zhuqing with a smile.

"How about this." Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

As a person from an inland area, Zhu Zhuqing had never seen a ship.

Moreover, there have been no ships going out to sea in the Endless Sea due to the maritime ban in recent years, so Zhu Zhuqing had no idea about ships.

Soon, Li Xuan and several others entered the shipyard.

In the shipyard, a large group of workers were dismantling the Giant Whale, taking its parts apart one by one for future research.

Today, only one-third of the hull of the Giant Whale remains. The rest has been dismantled and placed aside in different categories.

As the commander-in-chief, Lou Gao stood directly on the already dilapidated ship and directed everyone to number the parts of the hull to prevent them from being misplaced.

The ground around the hull was covered with white cloth, which was filled with various parts.

These parts have their own numbers, and once the entire Giant Whale is disassembled, further research can be carried out.
