Yan thought for a moment, then nodded.
"I'll consider it."
"Mm." Xiao Ze didn't say much more to Yan and left directly.
He still had very important matters to attend to; he was about to go to Gengxin City and definitely needed to bring some spirit tools to attract Lou Gao.
As a Divine Craftsman, Lou Gao's role was certainly very significant.
Returning to his room, Xiao Ze gathered Ning Rongrong and the others.
"Does Xiao Ze need us for something?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"I'm going to Gengxin City later, do you want to come along?" Xiao Ze asked.
"Gengxin City, the City of Metal?" Ning Rongrong was a little surprised.
"That's right. The Spirit Hall's spirit tools have started to develop, but the progress is still relatively slow, so we need the help of the blacksmiths in Gengxin City. After all, the Blacksmith Association is also there," Xiao Ze nodded.
"Of course we're going! We've never been to the City of Metal," Dugu Yan nodded.
"Exactly. We've been playing in Spirit City for so long, and we've already done everything there is to do. I'm going to Gengxin City," Shui Yueer nodded.
"In that case, prepare yourselves. We'll depart in a week," Xiao Ze said.
"Okay," everyone nodded.
A week later, in the early morning, Xiao Ze received many spirit tools from Old Man Wang, including offensive, defensive, and even flying spirit tools.
In front of Spirit Hall, there were two carriages.
Xiao Ze and the others slowly entered the carriages.
Just before they were about to leave, Hu Liena's figure suddenly appeared in front of the carriage.
Her hair was a bit disheveled, and her breathing was slightly hurried, clearly indicating she had rushed all the way.
Without waiting for the coachman to ask, she neatly lifted her skirt and jumped into the carriage.
"Uh... Hu Liena, why are you here?" Xiao Ze asked.
"I'm going to Gengxin City too," she said.
"Don't you have other things to do?" Xiao Ze was a little speechless. Yan had already left Spirit City this morning, and she was still so free. She wasn't using this time to cultivate properly.
"Teacher agreed," Hu Liena's single sentence left Xiao Ze at a loss for words.
"In that case, let's depart."
She was like a bright pink light bulb in Xiao Ze's eyes.
Ning Rongrong and the others didn't mind; they could tell that Hu Liena had some feelings for Xiao Ze, but it hadn't started yet.
But it was only a matter of time.
The carriage slowly drove out of Spirit City... Gengxin City is located in the southwest direction of the Star Luo Empire.
It is closer to the inland areas of the Star Luo Empire.
This distance from Spirit City was still a bit far.
Even though their carriage was very fast, it still took nearly twenty days to arrive.
Xiao Ze felt like his butt was no longer his own; the road between Spirit City and Gengxin City was simply too dilapidated.
Once spirit tools are developed later, he wants to get an airship; carriages are truly torturous.
Gengxin City is one of the main cities of the Star Luo Empire, but its reputation is not very great; within the Star Luo Empire, it is even only in the middle to lower tier.
After all, the status of blacksmiths is similar to that of commoners.
So Gengxin City is very ordinary.
However, the better the blacksmith, the more likely he is a Spirit Master.
After all, no matter how strong an ordinary person is, there is a limit, and the same applies to Spirit Masters.
But the limit of a Spirit Master is much higher than that of an ordinary person.
Xiao Ze sat in the carriage, looking at the tall city walls in the distance, a slight smile on his lips.
After twenty days, they finally arrived at Gengxin City.
The city walls of Gengxin City were entirely iron-gray, like metal, and a metallic aura immediately assailed them.
Many cities on the Douluo Continent actually have their own characteristics.
Along the way, everyone did not waste time and cultivated diligently.
Hu Liena, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan were only a tiny bit away from Level 60. After Gengxin City, they might be able to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain their sixth spirit ring.
Xiao Ze and the others got out of the carriage.
"This is Gengxin City! These city walls look incredibly sturdy," Ning Rongrong said.
"Indeed, they look like metal. In fact, if you look at the people coming and going, it seems like everyone has a small iron hammer in their hands," Meng Yiran nodded.
"They should be blacksmiths. After all, this is the famous City of Metal, the location of the Blacksmith Association."
Everyone entered Gengxin City very smoothly.
The metallic aura within Gengxin City was even more intense, and many buildings were even forged from metal. The entire city was very iron-gray.
It might be fine for a short period.
But if he looked at it for a long time, Xiao Ze felt it was very ordinary; Spirit City was much better.
The air in Gengxin City was scorching hot, filled with a mixture of metal and charcoal.
The deafening sound of hammering was also very jarring.
Both sides of the street were densely packed with iron foundries, each shop displaying swords, farm tools, or strangely shaped parts.
Bare-chested blacksmiths, dripping with sweat, swung heavy hammers with bulging muscles, striking red-hot iron blocks and sending sparks flying.
Only a city like this could be called the City of Metal.
Everywhere gave the feeling of the City of Metal.
The girls were also very curious about these shops.
They looked left and right, and even went over to try things out.
As they walked, they stopped in front of a tall building.
The entire building was at least thirty meters high, which was considered tall even on the entire Douluo Continent.
The building was also in the very center of Gengxin City, showing its great importance.
Above the main entrance of the building hung an iron plaque with no words, only two patterns: a hammer and a chisel.
This place was the Blacksmith Association.
"This is the Blacksmith Association! It's quite magnificent," Ye Lingling said.
"It is indeed magnificent. These blacksmiths are truly extraordinary to be able to build such a large building," Ning Rongrong nodded.
The Blacksmith Association had no guards, and people came and went in an endless stream.
The Blacksmith Association had a total of five floors.
The first two floors were the trading area, the third floor was the blacksmith assessment area.
The fourth floor was the auction area, and the fifth floor was the office area.
It was actually quite well-organized.
The first-floor hall was a bit noisy, an open-plan hall.
Xiao Ze found a service staff member of the Blacksmith Association.
"May I help you?" The Blacksmith Association's service staff was quite polite, no wonder there were so many people here.
"Is Lou Gao here today, please?"
"Our President? The President is here."
"Can you take me to him? I have something to discuss," Xiao Ze said.
"This..." The service staff hesitated. His position in the Blacksmith Association was among the lowest, and he did not have that authority.
Seeing his hesitation, Xiao Ze quietly took out a token.
The service staff's eyes widened when he saw the token: "Spirit..."
Xiao Ze nodded: "Is that acceptable?"
"Please wait a moment, I will go inform him."
