Chapter 143. Soul Guidance Technology.
Su Di said coldly, "President Silong, I forgot to tell you, you only have two days."
"Yes, yes," Silong nodded, wiping his sweaty brow.
Silong felt relieved after Su Di left, but his dissatisfaction with the Spirit Hall only grew.
"Spirit Hall, how overbearing!"
After cursing, Silong dared not delay and went straight to Lou Gao's foundry and knocked on the door.
When there was no response, he knocked again and again until the door opened.
Lou Gao, his hair disheveled and his eyes bloodshot, looked at Silong and said, "I told you not to knock on my door while I'm forging something. Silong, don't you want to do it anymore?"
"No, Teacher, something terrible is happening, something terrible is happening," Silong said anxiously.
"Even if the sky falls, it's not as important as me forging something," Lou Gao said angrily.
"No, no. The Spirit Hall's Pope sent you something and a letter. He said that if you don't reply within two days, the Spirit Hall will take action against our Blacksmith Guild," Silong said.
"What did you say?" Even though Lou Gao was absorbed in forging, he couldn't help but care about the Blacksmith Guild. He calmed down and said, "He has something for me."
"Here," Silong handed it over.
Lou Gao set the letter aside and opened the box. Inside was an offensive spirit tool. The Spirit Sword.
Lou Gao's eyes widened. He trembled as he took out the offensive spirit tool.
"This is the lost offensive spirit tool technology," Lou Gao said in a trembling voice. "Great! I never thought that an offensive spirit tool, lost in the ages, would appear before my eyes."
Lou Gao glanced aside and opened Qian Xunji's letter. Qian Xunji had written on it:
"President Lou Gao, I have mastered the technology for crafting spirit tools. If you are interested, you can bring your disciples to my Spirit Hall in two days to discuss it."
——Qianxunji.
Lou Gao and Si Long both read the letter. Si Long asked, "Teacher, what are your thoughts?"
Lou Gao took a deep breath and said, "The Pope's goal is not simple. I'm afraid this time he's targeting me."
Si Long said worriedly, "Teacher, should we not go? Could this be a setup by the Spirit Hall? They'll trick you in and then—crack"
"Go away, get out of the way." President Lou Gao said, "For the sake of the manufacturing technology for this soul guide, I'll go even if the Spirit Hall is in a dangerous place. Si Long, you don't have to go, but don't say you're my disciple from now on."
Si Long nodded helplessly.
Two days later, Lou Gao brought a group of disciples to visit the Spirit Hall.
As soon as Lou Gao entered, he looked around and saw Qianxunji in the center.
"Are you Qianxunji?"
Su Di shouted, "You're so bold, you can't call me Qianxunji. You should call me His Holiness the Pope."
"Yes, His Holiness the Pope," Lou Gao said, lowering his head.
Qianxunji waved his hand and said, "It's okay, the name is just a code name. President Lou Gao, you are really impressive. I invited you twice and even used threats to get you out."
Lou Gao said, "I was wrong about what happened before, Your Holiness. You said that the Spirit Hall has mastered the technology to make this soul guide. Is that true?"
Qian Xunji laughed and said, "Yes."
"You invited me here and mentioned the soul guide. You didn't invite me here for nothing, did you? Let me guess, you want me to help you make a soul guide, right?" A smile that seemed to see through Lou Gao's fat face flashed.
Qian Xunji said, "You guessed right. I do want you to help me make a soul guide."
"That's fine. Give me the soul guide technology. I guarantee that I can help you make any soul guide." Lou Gao patted his chest and said,
"Give it to you. Are you daydreaming?" Su Di said.
"This isn't just daydreaming; it's mutual benefit. Your Holiness, you gave me the technology to craft soul guides, and I'll help you build them, right?" At this point, Lou Gao eagerly looked at Qian Xunji and said, "Then, Your Holiness."
Qian Xunji said, "President Lou Gao, the Spirit Hall's technology won't be passed on to outsiders. You can't help me craft a soul guide as an outsider. If that's the case, I'd rather train a soul guide in the Spirit Hall than come to you."
President Lou Gao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll join the Spirit Hall."
"Teacher, don't force yourself," Silong said.
"That's fine, that's fine. If the Spirit Hall can help me restore soul guide technology to the world, then why wouldn't I join the Spirit Hall?" President Lou Gao said.
"Not you, but you and all your disciples, and the Blacksmith Association," Qian Xunji said to Lou Gao.
"Then how can you prove you possess the technology to craft a soul tool?" Lou Gao asked, gazing at Qian Xunji.
Qian Xunji smiled faintly and said, "This emperor has no need for lies."
He reached out and pulled out a copy of a soul tool blueprint, handing it to Lou Gao.
This blueprint, only half complete, allowed Lou Gao to confirm Qian Xunji's possession of the tool, but it wouldn't allow him to forge it.
Lou Gao's gaze was etched with fascination, eager to read the rest.
A quick decision was made. He said with a troubled expression, "I can promise you that my disciples will also join you. As for those who don't want to join the Spirit Hall, they're no longer my disciples, but I can't decide on others' choices."
"That's fine. I don't require all members of the Blacksmith Association to join the Spirit Hall. Those who wish can join." Qian Xunji produced a piece of paper and handed it to Lou Gao.
Lou Gao took the paper and examined it.
It was the Spirit Hall's salary offer for blacksmiths in Gengxin City. It was safe to say that Qian Xunji's offer was practically on par with that of a Spirit Master.
Although there were some blacksmiths like Lou Gao who didn't care about money, the vast majority had families to support. Qian Xunji's offer was believed to be enough to attract a large number of blacksmiths to join the Spirit Hall.
"Okay, I'll inform the Blacksmith Association about this. Those who are willing to join can join, and I can't force those who don't," said President Lou Gao.
"Also, have you and your disciples decided to join the Spirit Hall?" Qian Xunji asked.
"Yes," Lou Gao said.
Qian Xunji casually handed several contracts to Lou Gao, Si Long, and the others, saying, "Since you've decided to join, then sign this agreement."
