In Douluo, Wuhun holds the Tianping

"Oh, Mr. Lou, I plan to ask Shang to get another 5,000 carpenters and 2,000 shipbuilders. Let these shipbuilders take care of the main design of the ship, which will save us time. We can just focus on designing the array patterns of the soul guides."

"Then you can ask them to adjust the ship according to the requirements of the soul guide. You are the commander-in-chief anyway." Li Xuan spread his hands and said to Lou Gao with a smile.

Li Xuan needs Lou Gao to research the soul guide ship as soon as possible. Li Xuan wants to go out to sea before Tang San does. In this way, Li Xuan will have more time to explore the resources in the ocean.

As for the inheritance of the throne of the God of the Sea, Li Xuan had no interest at all.

"That makes sense. Reasonable division of labor and clear direction can indeed improve the speed of manufacturing ships. Okay, let's do as you say, add more manpower, and increase manpower as much as possible!" Lou Gao also nodded in agreement, and then said to Li Xuan.

Time is tight and the task is heavy. If we want to complete the work with quality and quantity, we need more people!
"No problem. I will write a letter to ask Huang Shang to focus on purchasing various craftsman slaves on the mainland. At the same time, he can also hire some senior craftsmen with high salaries." Li Xuan nodded to Lou Gao and said.

Li Xuan went to sea not for the position of Sea God, but for the Sea God test. After completing the Sea God test, he would be rewarded, the most important of which was the increase in soul power level.

In this way, Li Xuan's men can improve their strength in a short period of time. As for spirit rings, Sea God Island is responsible for the God-granted spirit rings, and they can have as many of them as you want.

If all goes well, Baichuan, Lou Gao, Yang Wudi, and Bai He can all break through to the realm of Titled Douluo on Sea God Island.

The risks at sea are changing rapidly, and no matter how much preparation Li Xuan makes, it will not be enough. Therefore, he built the ship two years in advance and invested so much manpower and material resources to ensure that the voyage would be safe!
"Also, Mr. Lou, I can provide unlimited quantities of Soul-Nourishing Pills and Bronze Bell Wine to allow these workers to possess soul power and increase their strength at the same time. I'm afraid they will have to do a lot of hard work in the future. I need a lot of people and strength!" Li Xuan took a deep breath, made up his mind, and said to Lou Gao.

In fact, Li Xuan had no other choice. If Li Xuan had a suitable body-refining elixir, he could just give it to him. After taking the elixir, his strength would increase rapidly.

Although Li Xuan's white jade body-building cream and drug formula also have body-building effects, the cost-effectiveness is too low. It is only used by high-level soul masters. If it is used by workers who are not soul masters, they simply cannot absorb the medicinal power.

"That's great. With these two things, these workers can do the work of two people at a time." After hearing what Li Xuan said, Lou Gao's eyes lit up and he looked at Li Xuan with some surprise.

Although these people are ordinary people, with the blessing of Soul-Nourishing Pills and Bronze Bell Wine, soul power may appear in their bodies and their strength can be greatly enhanced.

This is still very useful for shipbuilding, after all, carrying, grinding, carving and assembling wood all require strength.

"That's all I have in mind, Mr. Lou. If there's anything else you want," Li Xuan said, smiling at Lou Gao as he spread out his hands.

"It's already very good. By the way, Xuan'er, the girl you brought just now... I was right, this should be the girl from the Zhu family." Lou Gao asked Li Xuan with a strange look on his face.

"Yes." Li Xuan answered Lou Gao's question frankly.

"Do you know that he is engaged to the second prince of the Xingluo royal family?" Lou Gao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Li Xuan to answer so readily, but he asked another question immediately.

"Of course I know, but Dai Mubai is just a prince, not the emperor, not even the crown prince. Why should I be afraid of him?" Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said to Lou Gao nonchalantly.

"Although Dai Mubai is the second prince, he is, after all, a prince of the Xingluo royal family!" Lou Gao looked at Li Xuan's indifferent look and shook his head helplessly, and advised Li Xuan.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lou, now that I have identified her, even the Xingluo royal family can't snatch her away. In two years, when you break through to the Titled Douluo, I'll see who else on the Douluo Continent dares to show off to me, right, what do you think?" Li Xuan looked at the speechless Lou Gao and laughed.

"Don't think you are invincible just because you have the Sky-Shattering Cannon. Those people have many tricks up their sleeves." Lou Gao shook his head and said to Li Xuan.

"In the future, Uncle Bai, you, and the two from Yaocheng, four Titled Douluo, will be enough for Huangshi of the Xingluo Empire to win over with a girl." Li Xuan said to Lou Gao with a smile.

"Isn't he still a Titled Douluo?" Lou Gao slapped his thigh and said to Li Xuan.

Lou Gao hasn't even reached the Soul Douluo realm yet, but he's already thinking about what will happen after he breaks through the Titled Douluo realm. This is indeed a bit presumptuous.

"Forget it. I'd better get the ship you want as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, we'll just go out to sea to seek refuge. You have so many backup plans. Even if we go out to sea to seek refuge, we can still live well. It's a pity for the Blacksmith Guild." Lou Gao said with a snort, pursing his lips.

Obviously, Lou Gao didn't believe that Li Xuan could stop a prince, and he was actively looking for a way out for Li Xuan.

"That's not necessary, Mr. Lou. Uncle Bai should be able to break through to the Titled Douluo realm in no time. By the way, I just remembered that I haven't asked you about your soul power level for a while. Mr. Lou, what is your soul power level? Do you want me to prepare a soul ring for you?" Li Xuan said to Lou Gao with a smile.

Li Xuan remembered that Lou Gao was also a powerful person in the Soul Saint realm, and he usually had his own Chixuan wine and "Douluo No. 1" to bless him, so he should be about to reach the Soul Douluo realm.

"You're already level 79. You should be able to break through to level 80 in another half a year. I want to give you a surprise after you reach level 80. If it weren't for the herbs you gave me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to break through to the Soul Douluo realm in another ten years." Lou Gao said to Li Xuan with a smile.

After hearing what Lou Gao said, Li Xuan's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Lou Gao's cultivation speed to be so fast. It was time to arrange a hundred thousand year soul ring for Lou Gao. Li Xuan estimated that after absorbing the hundred thousand year soul ring, Lou Gao's soul power level could directly reach around level 87 to 88.

Lou Gao is different from Baichuan. Lou Gao basically does not fight in normal times, so his meridians are relatively harder. In this way, less soul power is needed to break through the soul power level, less soul power is stored in the body, and the combat endurance is weaker.

Under normal circumstances, a hundred thousand year spirit ring can at most improve the strength of a Soul Douluo to about level five. If Baichuan had not accumulated it over the years, he would not have been able to reach level 86, and a large part of the energy was used to repair his arm. If Lou Gao used all his energy on breaking through, he might be able to break through to the Titled Douluo realm directly.

"Mr. Lou, what are you going to absorb with your eighth soul ring? Do you have any choices?" Li Xuan asked Lou Gao curiously.

"I'm an old blacksmith. I can absorb whatever I can. After all, the level of soul power does not affect my forging ability." Lou Gao smiled at Li Xuan and said.

Lou Gao didn't need to fight. He was satisfied with absorbing a soul ring and being able to break through the realm, so he didn't think about choosing a soul beast to become his soul ring.

"Mr. Lou, that won't work. You make the request and I will arrange it for you!" Li Xuan said with a smile to Lou Gao.

“You are really generous, boy. The best one is of course the iron-eating beast type soul ring. Forging requires strength. Although my martial soul is not a pure strength type, it also needs the power fed back by the soul ring. The next best ones are some power-type soul beasts, such as bears, tigers, pythons and the like. Of course, power-type plant soul rings are also OK, such as Qianjun Vine, Earth-Shaking Mound and the like.” Lou Gao thought for a while and said to Li Xuan.

"Will Gengxin grass or something like that be okay?" Li Xuan scratched his head and said to Lou Gao.

"That's fine. It can help me improve my understanding of metals. But the ten thousand year old Geng Xin grass is hard to come by. Of course, Geng Xin grass is not my first choice. My understanding of metals is already sufficient. There's no need to waste soul rings." Lou Gao nodded and said to Li Xuan.

Looking at Lou Gao's indifferent attitude, Li Xuan shook his head helplessly.

"Forget it. I'm going to the Star Dou Great Forest in a couple of days. I'll find someone to help you research it." Li Xuan shook his head helplessly and said to Lou Gao?

“Okay, I’ll leave this matter to you. But the age doesn’t need to be too high, otherwise it will be a waste. Leave those suitable spirit rings to the spirit masters who need them.” Lou Gao smiled at Li Xuan and said.

"Mr. Lou, please don't think about this anymore. Just break through to level 80 as soon as possible. Leave the rest to me!" Li Xuan said to Lou Gao unhappily. After that, Li Xuan stood up and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, Lou Gao suddenly stopped Li Xuan.

"Xuan'er, that girl is indeed troublesome, so you better be careful." Lou Gao warned Li Xuan seriously.

"Mr. Lou, don't worry. I know what I'm doing and I won't get anything out of hand." Li Xuan smiled and shook his head.

"By the way, Mr. Lou, I will send you two larger pieces of wood later. Please figure out how to deal with them!" Li Xuan waved at Lou Gao and said with a smile.

Then Li Xuan turned around and went to find Zhu Zhuqing.

"This kid is becoming more and more troublesome. Forget it, let's hurry up and study the warship. If it doesn't work, just run away." Lou Gao shook his head, looked at Li Xuan's back, and sighed helplessly.

……

After Li Xuan left Lou Gao, he went to find Zhu Zhuqing.

Soon, they were found not far away, and Silong was introducing the remaining wreckage of the Giant Whale to them.

"Brother Xuan, are you done talking?" Silong asked Li Xuan with a smile.

"It's done." Li Xuan nodded and responded with a smile.

"In that case, Xuan'er, you take them out to play. I'll go help the teacher dismantle the rest of the hull." Silong said, turned around and left.

"After the Continental Soul Master Competition is over, we'll go out to sea to play." Li Xuan looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said with bright eyes.

After hearing Li Xuan's words, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up. The sea had only appeared in books, and no one had ever seen the real sea. Zhu Zhuqing also yearned for the sea.

"How was your visit to the shipyard?" Li Xuan asked a few people.

"These are all spare parts. What's there to see? Let's wait until the new ship is built and then come back to take a look." Bangchui said to Li Xuan with sparkling eyes.

Bangchui is also very interested in going out to sea. After all, Bangchui has read a lot of books, including several travel notes on the sea. The sea recorded in these books is really very desirable.

"Okay, then let's go back and rest. We'll go to the Wine City tomorrow to see if Tao Lin has developed any new drinks." Li Xuan said with a smile to Zhu Zhuqing and Bangchui.

"Okay, I'm a little tired indeed." Zhu Zhuqing also nodded and said.

Then a group of people left the shipyard, returned to the main city, and rested.

After a whole day of hard work, I'm already exhausted.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Li Xuan came to the study alone and began to plan the next shipyard project.

The first thing to do is to buy carpenters and boatmen. More labor can also speed up the construction of ships.

The second issue is the material. Zhu Zhuqing's fourth soul ring should bring a hundred thousand year old material, which should be enough for shipbuilding.

Finally, there is the issue of the supply of Bronze Bell Wine. There is a lot of wine stored in the Radi Canyon, and there is still a lot left after deducting the amount sold every month.

Just one third of the stock should be enough.

If it doesn't work, build some more wineries outside the wine city.

Then, Li Xuan began to make the next plan, the more detailed the better.

……

The next day, Li Xuan took Zhu Zhuqing on a tour of the wine city and gave the medicinal materials for making Bronze Bell Wine to Tao Lin.

In the afternoon, the group visited Medicine City before returning to the main city to rest.

"Brother Xuan, I have to say that this place is like a small country. It has everything and is completely self-sufficient." Zhu Zhuqing looked into Li Xuan's eyes and said with a smile.

"Yes, the original purpose of building this place was to be self-sufficient and to prevent being hunted down one day. This is also a relatively safe place." Li Xuan responded to Zhu Zhuqing with a smile.

"So that's how it is. Brother Xuan, where are we going to play tomorrow?" Zhu Zhuqing asked Li Xuan curiously.

"Well... rest for two days, then go to the Star Dou Great Forest to look for soul beasts and find suitable soul rings for you, me and Mr. Lou." Li Xuan thought for a while and said to Zhu Zhuqing.

After arriving, I walked around non-stop, and after resting for two days, I entered the Star Forest.

"No problem." Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement.

Although I have seen a lot of new things these two days, I am really tired, so it is time to take a break.

After eating and drinking, they returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't get enough rest these days. She returned to her room, lay down for a while and fell asleep.
