As the huge hammer moved up and down, a deep hole was smashed into a basketball-sized block of iron in an instant.

In just four or five minutes, an ordinary piece of iron was forged into pure iron essence.

The huge impact force generated by the collision penetrated the air and hit the heart of the building.

"This is truly an incredible device, a forging artifact. With it, ordinary craftsmen can easily refine metals, and the efficiency can be increased several times."

Lou Gao walked to the steam engine and looked at the position and operation of various parts with fascination.

Quan Yi walked over and introduced:

"Master Lou, this is the forging room I built specifically for you. There are all kinds of convenient props that utilize steam energy. With these, you can forge all kinds of metals and objects easily without any effort.

From now on, this forging room will be Master Lou's working space.

Later, when conducting research and forging, the master can use it at will."

Lou Gao excitedly thanked Quan Yi and said, "Thank you, young master. I am very satisfied. Just this thing called a steam engine is enough for me to study for a long time."

Quan Yi smiled and said, "Haha, Master, without further ado, I would like to entrust you to study something."

Lou Gao's face was solemn, and he replied seriously: "Please give me your orders, young master. I am ready."

Quan Yi took out a thick stack of drawings from his chest.

After Lou Gao took the blueprint, he found that it contained all strange instruments that he could hardly understand.

He could barely understand that the design on the blueprint had a lot in common with a steam engine.

He asked, "Young Master, is this a steam engine?"

"Yes, this is the result of a joint research between me and another blacksmith, Yuan. It records the research process from the beginning to the present."

Lou Gao looked at the blueprint in his hand in disbelief and asked, "Young Master, if you hand all of this over to me, aren't you afraid that the information will be leaked?"

Quan Yi looked at Lou Gao calmly and said, "Master is a smart man and will not do anything unwise."

Quan Yi's tone was very calm, but he had an unshakable will.

When Lou Gao saw the inexplicable look that flashed across Quan Yi's eyes, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

I thought to myself, "Young people nowadays really can't be underestimated. They are really decisive in doing things."

Indeed, if Lou Gao leaked the secret, he would definitely be hunted down by the entire Quan family, which is a powerful family with Soul Douluo and Soul Saint.

He, a mere blacksmith, is not someone he can afford to offend.

Moreover, Lou Gao knew very well that he would not need to use Contra to deal with him. The young man in front of him could easily deal with him.

Lou Gao said with a serious expression: "Don't worry, young master, I will keep it strictly confidential."

Quan nodded and continued, "During this period of time, I hope Master Lou can study the principle and structure of the steam engine carefully.

After the master has mastered it, I would like to ask Master Lou to use his abilities to further improve the power device of the steam engine."

"Okay, please rest assured, young master. I will learn all this research as soon as possible."

Then, Quan Yi called out five blacksmiths from the Quan family and said, "These five are blacksmiths trained by the Quan family, and they are specially called here to assist Master Lou in his research. The five of them are involved in all the research. If the master has anything he doesn't understand, he can ask them."

Lou Gao glanced at the blacksmith beside Quan Yi and felt a little surprised.

This is because these blacksmiths are not very old, and none of them is over 40 years old.

The team that created the steam engine was too young.

Now, he could no longer hold back his doubts and asked, "Young Master, who is the blacksmith who created the steam engine and the bicycle? Could it be that the master is about the same age as these people?"

As soon as the words fell, the faces of the five people present became strange, and they looked up at Lou Gao with a peculiar expression.

Seeing the atmosphere become weird, Lou Gao asked nervously: "What's wrong? Did I ask a question that I shouldn't ask?"

Quan Yi smiled and replied: "The bicycle and steam engine were developed by me and another forger, and most of the drawings in the master's hand were drawn by me.

As for the information of the other blacksmith, I cannot disclose it for confidentiality reasons, but if Master Lou has any questions in the future, you can ask me directly."

Lou Gao couldn't stop his inner shock, he was a little bit unbelievable.

However, when he saw the five people around him looking at Quan Yi with passionate and admiring eyes, he couldn't help but believe Quan Yi's words.

All of Lou Gao's fantasies about the mysterious blacksmith were shattered at this moment.

Who would have thought that the mysterious blacksmith who convinced him was actually a teenager.

Complex emotions disrupted Lou Gao's thinking.

Chapter 227 The strangeness of the body

Quan Yi was not very interested in Lou Gao's complicated inner changes.

Quan Yida said: "We have our own rules in our blacksmith shop. After this, these people will explain in detail. For the rest, apart from keeping it confidential, we don't have any big requirements.

In addition to the research and forging tasks issued by the family, the master can spend the rest of his time here researching as much as he wants, and all the expenses incurred will be borne by us."

Quan Yi gave the master craftsman extremely high freedom and treatment.

Not only would he receive a high salary, but he would also be responsible for all of Lou Gao's research. Even his personal research funding was covered by Quan Yi.

After making some money, Quan Yi could make more decisions on his own.

Therefore, he can arrange the building height according to his own rules.

"In short, I have no restrictions on your freedom, Master. Just remember to keep it secret and keep a low profile. I don't have any big requests."

After listening to the story, Lou Gao felt Quan Yi's sincerity towards him. The overall treatment he received was even better than what he received in the Blacksmith Association. Moreover, he did not have to take any responsibilities and could concentrate fully on his research.

This place is simply a paradise for researchers.

Moreover, the young man in front of him is not only a powerful and talented soul master, but also a gifted blacksmith.

His curiosity about Quan Yi reached its peak.

Lou Gao quickly calmed down and replied, "Old Gao, I will be satisfied as long as I can learn the skills. Besides, the treatment here is better than what I received in Gengxin City."

Quan Yi nodded with satisfaction, then said goodbye to Lou Gao and left the second blacksmith shop.

The purpose of building a second blacksmith shop, in addition to providing a separate research space for the building, is to maintain confidentiality and division of labor.

As the research deepened, Quan Yi involved more and more fields, especially the study of ironware, which was far from enough with the current manpower.

Therefore, the addition of Lougao greatly eased their pressure.

Quan Yi's current research focuses on two aspects: weapons and power devices.

Among them, Quan Yi chose to keep the most dangerous weapons research and development firmly in his hands. Instead, he handed over the research on the power device to Lou Gao.

This does not mean that the power plant is not important. On the contrary, its research and development is more difficult than weapons research and takes longer.

As for Lou Gao, who has just joined, Quan Yi also needs to spend some time in contact with him and slowly get to know him.

Because of this, Quan Yi felt that he could leave this part of the research to Lou Gao.

In this way, not only can Yuan the blacksmith's tasks be shared, but the research progress in both directions can also be further improved.

After arranging Lou Gao's matters, Quan Yi carried out his afternoon iron-forging exercises as usual.

After refining about 60,000 kilograms of iron, Quan Yi left the forging room.

Fly directly back to the academy under the cover of night and return to the cabin in the woods.

As soon as you land outside the house, you can smell the fragrant aroma of meat.

Quan Yi smiled happily, opened the door and walked in.

"Xiao Wu, I'm back."

"The meat is ready. You can wash it first and then prepare the meal." Huo Wu's voice penetrated the sizzling sound of the barbecue and reached Quan Yi's ears.

"I see."

After Huo Wu obtained the spirit ring, she was banned from participating in the spirit battle due to level restrictions.

After absorbing the soul ring, Huo Wu's level reached a terrifying level 45.

There is a huge gap between him and other members who are still at the middle and high level of Soul Master.

According to Huo Wu's story, one third of this was due to the opening of hidden meridians which increased her soul power level.

Moreover, Huo Wu's soul power, which had surged this time, was further purified after being absorbed by the Du Meridian, and her foundation became even more solid.

As a result, Huo Wu's afternoon combat training time was freed up. With nowhere to go, she could only practice and study on her own in the academy.

Huo Wu, who didn't need to leave, naturally took on the task of making dinner.

Fortunately, Huo Wu’s control over flames is as good as Quan Yi’s, and she has always been paying attention to Quan Yi’s cooking process, so after trying a few times, her level improved dramatically.

After Quan washed off his fatigue, he walked into the kitchen, just in time to see Huo Wu walking towards the dining table with a frying pan the size of a baby bath tub in one hand.

On the frying pan, a giant piece of barbecue, half the size of a person, demonstrates its majestic dominance.

The charred brown covers the surface of the meat, and under the perfect heat, it presents a perfect Maillard reaction.

"Bang!"

There was a heavy sound from the solid wood tabletop.

Including the iron pot and the meat, it weighs more than 400 kilograms.

The weight is greater than Quan Yi and Huo Wu combined.

The meat is roasted as a whole piece. Generally, if you want to roast such a huge piece of meat, you need to bake it at a low temperature for several hours to cook it thoroughly inside.

However, with Huo Wu's fire control ability, it is possible to heat the inside of the meat without burning the outside.

"Wow! It smells so good." Quan couldn't take his eyes off the barbecue.

Huo Wu put her hands on her hips and said with relief: "Dinner is ready!"

Then Huo Wu took out a long meat cleaver from the kitchen and sliced ​​the meat.

"Pfft."

The sharp long knife cut through the meat, revealing the pink tender meat.

The gravy flows down the meat wall, emitting a rich meaty aroma.

Huo Wu took the tongs, put the meat slices on a large plate and handed it to Quan Yi.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Wu."

After Quan Yi took it, he couldn't wait to pick up the knife and fork, cut off a large piece of meat, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

"Ho, good word."

The way Quan Yi eats is like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, he takes one bite at a time, a palm-sized piece of meat, his cheeks are stretched by the meat.

Huo Wu cut her own portion and said with a smile, "Slow down, I cut a little more today. This portion is enough for us to eat."

Huo Wu's movements are more graceful than Quan Yi's, but her eating speed is not slow at all.

More than an hour passed.

The food on the table was cleared away, leaving only plates of various sizes.

Quan Yi held his belly and collapsed on the chair. He looked at Huo Wu who was doing the same thing across from him and said, "Haha, Xiao Wu, your belly has become so big."

Huo Wu can eat at least 60 kilograms of soul beast meat in one meal.

Moreover, this is the soul beast meat of a 20,000-year-old Thunderbolt Pig. An ordinary person can satisfy their energy for a day by eating a piece of meat.

Huo Wuwan glanced at Quan and said, "It's all because of your hidden meridian digestion method. When I went home last time, I scared my parents and my brother."

Quan Yi burst into laughter and said, "Being able to eat is a blessing, and the more you can eat, the stronger your body will be."

Huo Wu suddenly sat up straight and asked Quan Yi with a serious expression: "I feel that my appetite has increased a bit too much recently."

"Last week, I could only eat about 40 kilograms per meal, but this week my appetite has skyrocketed. Is this increasing too fast?"

If it was a gradual growth, Huo Wu would certainly not be too panicked, but the current situation was too abnormal, causing Huo Wu to worry about her physical condition.

Chapter 228 I can’t help myself

Quan Yi smiled faintly, then stood up and walked to Huo Wu, holding her hand and said, "Come on, stand up."

Huo Wu stood up, stared into Quan Yi's eyes in confusion, and asked, "Why, what happened?"
