Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

After Dugu Yan absorbed the spirit ring, Qi Dao and Dugu Yan returned to Tiandou Academy.

Although the Eight Spider Lances can evolve by absorbing the essence of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, this is limited, and it needs to continuously improve its physique to continue evolving.

For example, after Dugu Yan absorbed the essence of the Human-Faced Demon Spider King, she could clearly feel a fullness in her back. If she continued to absorb the essence of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, at best it would be a waste of her energy, and at worst it would result in poor absorption and harm to herself.

Therefore, Qi Dao was not in a hurry and planned to wait until Dugu Yan reached level 70 before bringing her to find a few human-faced demon spiders to devour her essence.

In the original work, there was also a 30,000-year-old human-faced demon spider, which was Qi Dao's next target.

On the way back, upon learning that Qi Dao was going to Gengxin City in a few days, he said, "A-Dao, I'll go with you!"

"Okay!" Qi Dao did not refuse.

There are already few people in the world who can pose a threat to him, and with the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, he can escape with his people at any time if things go wrong.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's face lit up with joy. Her only regret was that Ning Rongrong was a third wheel on the way.

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye after Qi Dao returned to Tiandou City.

Outside Tiandou City.

Qi Dao, Dugu Yan, and Ning Rongrong stood in front of a luxurious carriage.

Since we weren't in a hurry, we traveled by horse-drawn carriage.

Qian Renxue, Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi and several others came to see them off.

Ning Fengzhi instructed Ning Rongrong to put aside her spoiled princess attitude on the way and follow Qi Dao's arrangements.

Dugu Bo nodded in satisfaction at his granddaughter, feeling that she had finally come to her senses and knew how to proactively create opportunities.

Qian Renxue, wearing Xue Qinghe's face, told Qi Dao to prioritize safety, even though she knew that there were very few people in the world who could threaten her.

After saying goodbye to them, Qi Dao and the other two boarded the carriage.

The driver was an old acquaintance of Qi Dao, Li Luo.

Li Luo smiled at Qi Dao, one hand empty and the other holding the reins.

Although he lost a hand for Qi Dao back then, he still gained Qian Renxue's favor and received preferential treatment in resources.

Several years later, his level increased from level 73 to level 77.

For an ordinary Soul Saint, this is undoubtedly an extremely fast breakthrough speed.

Qi Dao remained calm, but in his heart he was thinking that once he became a god, he would help him rebuild an arm.

Alternatively, you could ask Qian Renxue for help after she becomes a god.

As things stand, Qian Renxue will undoubtedly become a god sooner than him.

The carriage sped along the official road, but thanks to the extremely powerful shock-absorbing soul guide device, the interior of the carriage remained extremely stable, without the slightest vibration.

Along the way, except for the occasional stop to rest for a night and stroll through the night market when passing through a few major cities, they were on the road the rest of the time, and it took them more than half a month to finally arrive at Gengxin City.

Gengxin City is located in the interior of the Star Luo Empire and is one of the main cities of the Star Luo Empire. However, the city itself can only be considered as a mid-to-lower-tier city within the main city territory.

However, as a metal capital, Gengxin City is naturally more magnificent than most main cities, with its tall city walls appearing iron-gray, as if they were cast from metal.

After entering the city, Li Luo parked the carriage at the pre-prepared outpost.

Qi Dao and the other two stepped off the carriage and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help along the way, Senior Li Luo."

Although his current strength far surpasses that of Li Luo, Li Luo is, after all, a senior who had been kind to him in the past, so he naturally cannot call him by his name.

Upon hearing this, Li Luo felt a surge of joy and said cheerfully, "It is my honor to drive the carriage for the Peerless King."

It’s different in the past.

In the past, Qi Dao addressed him as "senior," which he accepted without hesitation, but not now.

However, Qi Dao still remembered him and called him "senior," which made him feel incredibly happy.

...

After a quick rest, Qi Dao and his group of four walked onto the streets of Gengxin City.

The streets were bustling with activity, filled with the cries of vendors.

As a metal capital, blacksmith shops can be seen almost everywhere on the streets of Gengxin City, and every few steps you can see merchants selling iron ore and ironware at street stalls.

Qi Dao looked at Ning Rongrong and said with a smile, "Miss Ning, it's up to you now!"

Ning Rongrong smiled slightly.

"Leave the rest to me!"

After she finished speaking, she began to examine the items along the way.

Among the Soul Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, there are differences in their treasure-appraisal abilities.

Ning Rongrong's ability to appraise treasures is even slightly stronger than Ning Fengzhi's in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Because the ability to appraise treasures doesn't depend on level, but only on talent.

Ning Rongrong is a genius that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has only seen once every few hundred years.

Whether it's ring fusion, distraction control, or treasure appraisal talent, they are all far superior to Ning Fengzhi.

This is why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has never produced an Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but Ning Fengzhi still believes that Ning Rongrong may be able to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into an Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

After examining the entire route, Ning Rongrong did not disappoint Qi Dao, finding several pieces of ore that caused the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to react.

These ores vary in size, with the larger ones weighing five or six hundred pounds and the smaller ones weighing only a few dozen pounds.

However, the quality of something that can make the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda react is not quite on par with the Cold Heart Iron Essence, but it wouldn't be too far off either.

Finally, the group of four arrived in front of a huge building over thirty meters high in the city center.

This enormous building occupies a vast area, and above it hangs a dark iron plaque.

There were no words on the iron plaque, only two raised patterns: a hammer and a chisel.

This building is none other than the headquarters of the Blacksmiths' Guild.

The Blacksmiths' Guild may not be well-known elsewhere, but it holds a very high position in Gengxin City.

Of course, Qi Dao came here mainly because this is the largest rare metal trading center in the entire Gengxin City.

The blacksmith's guild has five floors.

The first floor is the trading area, where many famous blacksmiths in Gengxin City bring their masterpieces or metals to trade.

The second level is the high-end trading area, mainly for trading rare metals.

The third floor is the blacksmith registration and assessment area, which will be skipped.

The fourth floor is the VIP area, which is also the auction area. Some extremely precious rare metals are auctioned regularly, but today is not an auction day.

The last floor is the office area of ​​the blacksmiths' association, where the master blacksmith Lou Gao and his disciples work.

Stepping inside, one is greeted by a constant stream of people, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

Qi Dao and his three companions possessed remarkable bearing, attracting considerable attention upon their arrival.

After entering, Qi Dao and his three companions first took a stroll around the first floor.

There is a lot of metal on the first floor, but most of it is just ordinary metal. Rare metals such as iron concentrate, black iron, and tungsten steel are very rare. A hundred or eighty kilograms is considered a large order.

Qi Dao purchased the scattered rare metals, totaling nine hundred catties of various metals.

As for ordinary metals, even after special forging, Qi Dao still didn't fancy them.

These ordinary metals, unless they have been forged and impurities removed by a master craftsman or a divine craftsman, would not be as effective as one kilogram of Cold Heart Iron Essence even if he devoured ten or a hundred tons of them.

In addition, Ning Rongrong also used the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's treasure-appraising ability to select seven pieces of ore for Qi Dao.

Dugu Yan watched with envy.

She also wanted to help Qi Dao, but unfortunately Bi Linlong didn't have the appraisal ability of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

After finishing their shopping on the first floor, Qi Dao and his three companions went to the second floor.

However, their massive shopping spree also attracted the attention of the blacksmiths' association.

The two young men exchanged a glance and followed Qi Dao and the others upstairs.

However, they did not stay on the second floor, but went directly to a higher floor.
