"Young Master, this old servant has come here with this intention."
Titan
turned and went to Taino's coffin, opened the lid, and looked at his beloved son lying inside, his heart breaking.
The arrow in his throat, Titan hadn't even removed.
Tailong immediately knelt down and wept bitterly.
Tang San and the others also gathered around.
Upon seeing the arrow belonging to the Zhuge Crossbow, Tang San's expression changed drastically.
"Young Master, please look! My son's wounds... some were caused by Blue Silver Grass, some by the Clear Sky Hammer, and even some by your own hidden weapon!"
"Tailong also saw the Young Master's appearance with his own eyes!"
"Please enlighten us, Young Master!"
Titan trembled, lifting Taino's clothes, revealing the marks from the Blue Silver Grass and the bruises from the Clear Sky Hammer.
Tang San stared blankly, speechless for a moment.
...
Inside the Avalanche Mansion, as everyone surrounded the coffin, speechless...
Ye Qiu seemed to have settled things.
After Ye Qiu threw some of the blueprints for the Peacock Feather, the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, and the Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus in Lou Gao's face,
this master blacksmith, who was passionate about his craft, couldn't resist the temptation. He
immediately opened the door
and roared at his apprentice outside,
"Si Long, get over here!"
In just a few breaths, Si Long rushed over and respectfully said to Lou Gao,
"Master, what do you want with me?"
Lou Gao coldly replied,
"From now on, you are the president of the Blacksmiths' Association."
"I'm annoyed, I'm going to travel. Come back if you need anything later."
"Huh? Master, you're not joking, are you?"
Si Long stared at Lou Gao in disbelief.
Lou Gao's face hardened, and his muscular frame revealed a hint of formality.
He said in a deep voice,
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
"All my works will be left to you four brothers. From now on, when I'm no longer in the Blacksmiths' Association, you must work together to make the association a success."
"By the way, if that old Titan asks you to do anything in the future, don't agree! Ask me first, understand?"
Ye Qiu naturally knew about Titan's position as vice president of the Blacksmiths' Association.
Ye Qiu had no intention of aiding the enemy.
While Lou Gao was giving instructions
, Bai Chenxiang was rearranging the blueprints that Lou Gao had messed up and handing them to Ye Qiu.
"President Lou Gao, are you truly sincere about joining the Soul Palace? Don't let these blueprints influence your decision."
Ye Qiu looked at Lou Gao with a smile.
"Hmph! Of course I, Lou Gao, am sincerely joining! You brat, hurry up and give me all the blueprints. And don't forget that all the works I make will have my name engraved on them!"
Lou Gao's slightly small eyes narrowed.
He felt that his ambitions could be fulfilled with the blueprints provided by Ye Qiu.
Why should the Spirit Hall be superior to his Blacksmith Association? Blacksmithing can be a powerful and respected profession, and Lou Gao will become a legendary master craftsman!
"Haha, President Lou Gao, I understand your desire to promote the blacksmithing profession, but you alone obviously can't prove it."
"Why don't you bring more people to the Spirit Hall and let them learn to forge the Zhuge Crossbow and other hidden weapons?"
Ye Qiu chuckled. His Spirit Hall lacked skilled blacksmiths like the Power Clan, so recruiting some blacksmiths from Gengjin City would be a good idea.
"!"
Lou Gao was startled.

Squinting, he said, "You've got quite the appetite, kid. But aren't you afraid these blueprints will be leaked?"
Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled slightly.
"I'm not afraid of that. If more people see these things, it might broaden the blacksmiths' thinking to some extent. With everyone working together, maybe even more powerful and convenient weapons will appear!"
Ye Qiu had no doubt about human creativity, even if it took a long time.
"Haha. Good lad, you really have a big heart, quite unique!"
Lou Gao was also stimulated by Ye Qiu's generosity.
Among the blacksmiths, there were indeed many who were closed off, clinging to their so-called secret techniques and never easily teaching others.
Perhaps this was the reason why the Blacksmiths' Association had not been able to develop like the Spirit Hall.
Even Lou Gao himself could not be so open-minded.
"Kid, what you said makes a lot of sense. Okay, no problem. I'll select a group of trustworthy blacksmiths to accompany you to that Soul Palace."
"As for the blueprints, don't worry. I know the harm that such lethal weapons could cause if they were widely circulated, so it's best not to act recklessly."
Lou Gao nodded in agreement to Ye Qiu's suggestion.
Originally, he had planned to learn the skills and then leave, but now it seemed unnecessary.
Ye Qiu didn't seem to care how many people learned the techniques.
"Good! Then, President Lou Gao, it'll be a pleasure to cooperate. From now on, I will establish a Craftsmen's Hall in the Soul Palace, and you will be the hall master."
...
Noon.
Not wanting to be too conspicuous, Ye Qiu politely declined Lou Gao's offer of a banquet.
Satisfied, Ye Qiu led Bai Chenxiang and Dugu Bo out of the Blacksmiths' Association.
"Hall Master, are you just going to give him those blueprints like that?"
Bai He felt that Ye Qiu's actions were a bit unwise.
Ye Qiu said calmly, "Don't worry, Master Bai. Even if we gave it to him, he wouldn't be able to make it in a short time. These three items are impossible to mass-produce." Ye Qiu didn't place too much importance
on hidden weapons . Even though the Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus and other such items were powerful, they couldn't be mass-produced due to limitations in materials and technology. Besides, these things might stimulate the development of soul tools. Compared to soul tools , hidden weapons from the Tang Sect world were nothing more than minor tricks! Bai Chenxiang, holding Ye Qiu's arm, suddenly found him even more charming. Even Dugu Bo couldn't help but admire Ye Qiu's boldness. He also had two sets of blueprints and understood the power of those items better. The Yama's Decree and the Soul-Chasing Life-Stealing Mother-Child Gallbladder were specially given by Ye Qiu to Dugu Bo or the Dugu family, and would not be circulated outside. Ye Qiu led them to the agreed-upon place to meet Ning Fengzhi and the others. They had already gathered around the table, laden with their spoils. Ning Rongrong had already ordered the dishes, just waiting for Ye Qiu to return so the chef could start cooking. She called out sweetly towards the kitchen, then greeted Ye Qiu with a smile, taking his arm. "Ye Qiu, how's it going? Is everything going smoothly over there?" "Very smoothly. Guild Master Lou Gao has agreed to lead a group of trustworthy blacksmiths to join the Soul Hall." Ye Qiu nodded slightly, gently pinching Ning Rongrong's smiling face. He had also brought back a gift for Ning Rongrong from Lou Gao. (End of Chapter)
