Douluo: Rainbow Cat, Blue Cat, Seven Swords and Dragon Rider

Chapter 109 Gengjin City

At this time, Tang San suddenly sat up from the bed and shouted.

"Little dance!"

It was only before he was teleported away by the Shura God's divine consciousness that he noticed Xiao Wu was right next to Lan Hong.

He felt that it was Lan Hong who took Xiao Wu away from him, and his hatred for Lan Hong increased even more.

"Xiao San! How are you?"

"Uncle!"

“Alas! Uncle is useless. Not only did he fail to help you awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, he also…”

"Uncle, this is not your fault! It's all because of Lan Hong. I will make him pay the price!"

"Yes! This is Haotian Sect. You should stay here and practice well. I will teach you everything I know."

"Thank you, uncle!"

On the other hand, after leaving the Blue Silver Forest, Lan Hong was not in a hurry to travel, as there was still some time before the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition.

They headed towards Wuhun City and got to know the local customs and practices of various places in the Xingluo Empire.

Compared with the Tiandou Empire, the Xingluo Empire's ethos is indeed much stronger, but it also has clear hierarchies.

Commoners will only fight with commoners, and no matter how brave and fierce commoners are, they will only bow and scrape when they are bullied by nobles.

Lan Hong looked helpless, but changing is not something that can be done overnight.

At this time they arrived at Gengjin City, which is the headquarters of the Blacksmith Association. The atmosphere here is much better than other cities.

Since she was here by chance, Lan Hong naturally wanted to go to the Blacksmith Association to visit the president of the Blacksmith Association, Lou Gao.

The blacksmiths in Douluo Continent are more than just blacksmiths, many of them are also soul masters, and Lou Gao is a soul saint.

This group of blacksmiths with a spirit of research can study soul guides faster than other soul masters.

Lan Hong and his group arrived at the Blacksmith Guild, but saw people arguing there.

Judging from their attire, one side is from the Spirit Hall and the other side is from the Blacksmith Association.

The quarrel between the two parties did not produce any result, except that the leader of the Spirit Hall said something harsh before leaving.

"You, the Blacksmith Association, had better think it over carefully. If you do not agree to the conditions of our Lord Bishop, the Lord City Lord can drive your Blacksmith Association out of Gengjin City at any time! Let's go!"

The leader of the Blacksmith Association was Lou Gao's apprentice Silong, his face was livid.

Lan Hong naturally did not go up and bring bad luck to the place at this time, but instead asked people nearby what had happened.

It turned out that the Bishop of the Spirit Hall had colluded with the Lord of Gengjin City and wanted to increase the tax on the Blacksmith Association from the original 20% to 40%, directly doubling it.

Naturally, the Blacksmiths Association did not agree, and so the previous scene happened.

The arm cannot twist the thigh. From this perspective, the Blacksmiths Guild is more likely to compromise in the end.

Lan Hong also took the opportunity to inquire about the reputation of the bishop and the mayor of Gengjin City, and as expected, they were full of evil!

If the Blacksmith Guild wasn't here, they would probably be able to do even more evil things.

"How abominable! The Spirit Hall is full of bastards!"

Xiao Wu puffed her cheeks and said angrily.

"Don't talk nonsense! The upper echelons of the Spirit Hall are indeed very corrupt, but there are still many hardworking people in the lower echelons of the Spirit Hall.

For example, those deacons who go to many village chiefs every year to help children awaken their martial spirits.

There are also those soul masters who hunt down the Fallen. They also belong to the Spirit Hall and are all very good people.

Once an organization is formed, it is bound to be a mix of good and bad people. If you want to keep an organization pure, you must clean yourself up regularly and eliminate those corrupt people.

Obviously, the Spirit Hall did not do this, what a pity! "

"Teacher, what should we do next?"

"Go visit Lou Gao first! After that, help Spirit Hall clean up the mess!"

Lan Hong and his group came to the Blacksmith Association again. When Lan Hong gave his name, everyone in the Blacksmith Association looked at him strangely.

Silong even walked over and asked, "Are you really Lan Hong? The soul guide master promoted by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"

"I did ask Sect Master Ning to help me spread the basic soul guidance knowledge."

"Excuse me! Excuse me! I didn't expect Master Lan Hong to be so young. We thought you were at least a middle-aged man!"

"You're welcome! I'm here to visit Master Lou Gao. Is he free?"

"Of course there is, please follow me!"

Lan Hong and his group followed Silong into the Blacksmith Association. The further they went inside, the louder the sound of clanging iron hammering became.

When you come to the top floor, there is a forging room dedicated to the building, and most of the building's height is located here.

"Teacher, Master Lan Hong is here to visit?"

"Hmm? Master Lanhong? Which Master Lanhong?"

"That's Master Lan Hong who published the soul guide knowledge!"

With a clang, the door opened and Lou Gao walked out. He had a full beard, was not tall, and had a muscular body, like a blacksmith.

In fact, Lan Hong felt that Lou Gao was very much like a dwarf in a Western fantasy story.

When Lan Hong was looking at Lou Gao, Lou Gao was also looking at Lan Hong.

"Are you really that Lan Hong?"

Lou Gao was also a little unconvinced, after all, Lan Hong was too young.

"it's me!"

"Then look at what this is?"

Lou Gao threw a piece of iron to Lan Hong, who was a little surprised.

He injected soul power into the iron sheet, and a translucent soul power shield appeared in front of Lan Hong.

"Is this defensive soul guide forged by Master Lou Gao? The materials are very good, but the depiction of the soul guide patterns and the grasp of the nodes are still unfamiliar."

Lan Hong directly used sword energy to re-carve the soul guide patterns and arrange the soul power nodes, and then threw the iron sheet back.

Lou Gao injected soul power again and was surprised to find that the defense of the soul power shield was more than doubled.

"Hahaha! You are indeed a soul guide master. I admire you so much! Please forgive me, you are really too young."

"understand!"

"Please come in. What are you still standing there for? Go make some tea!"

"is teacher!"

Lou Gao’s forging room was actually not very big and was a bit messy, so much so that Lou Gao himself felt a little embarrassed.

"Haha! It's a bit messy, don't mind and sit anywhere you want!"

After Lan Hong and the others found a place to sit down, Lan Hong started chatting with Lou Gao, all they talked about were things related to soul guides and forging.

"You said you can use soul guides to replace blacksmiths forging? How is that possible!"

“It’s not about replacing the blacksmith’s forging, but replacing the blacksmith’s hammer swinging action! This can greatly improve the efficiency of forging.

This is my original intention for studying soul guides, not to use them in battle."

"But only a blacksmith holding a hammer can forge something more refined."

“This is a question of trade-offs. You think blacksmiths should strive to forge more sophisticated things, but I think differently. From the perspective of more people, efficiency is more important.

Our philosophies do not conflict. After all, blacksmiths who can forge sophisticated equipment are rare.

Most ordinary blacksmiths also need efficiency, right?"
