Chapter 81: Quitting the Blacksmith Guild

Lou Gao was stunned. "Soul Guidance Association? I don't think I've ever heard of it..."

"Master, you must not have heard of it. After all, it has not been officially established yet, and there are no official members." Su Chen said as expected, "You and I both know that the development of soul guides will never be so simple. Most of the soul guides on the market are storage devices, and there are no soul guides that can really exert combat effectiveness."

"My blueprints are enough to change the public's perception of soul guides and traditional concepts. Soul guides can arm the army and enhance their own combat power. I call those who can make soul guides and use them flexibly soul guides."

Su Chen's explanation was detailed and not complicated. Lou Gao quickly understood the meaning. Soul engineer is like blacksmith, both are occupational names, but there is one difference. Soul engineer can manufacture soul guides, and their own combat power is not weak.
"Do you have a lot of these drawings?" Lou Gao continued to ask. He believed that these drawings were left over from ancient times, and it would be extremely lucky to have one.

Su Chen smiled. There were many soul guide blueprints in the mall. You could even customize the soul guide according to your own requirements. It just cost more emotion points.

At this point, Su Chen proposed a condition, "As long as you join the Soul Instructor Association, I guarantee that you can get a new blueprint every month."

Lou Gao raised his arm and said, "Now that things have come to this, I, Lou Gao, am not the kind of person who would argue with others. I will just join you."

After that, he walked out the door and casually told the blacksmith who was passing by, "Go call Silong and tell him I have something to talk to him about."

After a while, a young man in silver armor came steadily over. As a disciple of the blacksmith Lou Gao, he was a master blacksmith at a young age and hoped very much to become a divine blacksmith. He was also the successor to the president in everyone's eyes.

Si Long saw Su Chen and the other man, feeling somewhat puzzled, and walked up to Lou Gao, "Teacher, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Lou Gao patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Silong, you have performed well recently, so as a reward, from today on, you will be the president of the Blacksmith Association."

"Thank you, teacher... ah?!"

Silong leaned back in shock, he really didn't expect the position of president would come so suddenly. Although others have always regarded him as the successor, he is still a master after all, and is still far from being a master craftsman.

He suddenly looked at Su Chen and the other two, his eyes became sharp, "Teacher, are you going to abandon the Blacksmith Association and work for the Spirit Hall?"

"I'm not working for any particular force," Lou Gao shook his head. He had no intention of helping any force. He simply saw an opportunity for the soul guide to shine.
Then he picked up the blueprint on the table and looked at Su Chen for his consent. Su Chen nodded in understanding. This blueprint was originally a bait, and it would be better to show it to more blacksmiths.

The blueprints stuck to Silong's hands like glue, with a frown on his face. As a master, his research on soul guides was not as exaggerated as Lou Gao's. Although he felt that there were many mysteries in the blueprints, he still didn't understand them.

Lou Gao sighed, "I always tell you to study soul guides more but you just don't listen."

"My forging skills are not even up to the level of a master craftsman, so I don't have time to study those illusory things." Silong retorted. He had a point, or it could be said that Lou Gao was probably the only blacksmith who was still researching soul guides.
All blacksmiths agree that soul guides are exquisite, but the craft has been lost for many years. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to resume the craft after so many years.

Lou Gao chuckled, "But this blueprint is the vague thing you mentioned, and it is also the manufacturing method of the soul guide!"

"How to make a soul guide? Master, you succeeded?!" Silong's first reaction was that Lou Gao's attempt was successful, and he asked in surprise, is it true that Lou Gao alone continued the ancient craft? This is an achievement that will go down in history books!

Lou Gao shook his head. "No, this blueprint was obtained by a noble person. That's why I want to leave the Blacksmith Association and develop soul guides."

"Then I will follow Master and jointly develop the soul guide business." Silong reacted quickly, knelt down excitedly and said,

As a master and apprentice, his yearning for soul guides is no less than Lou Gao's. After all, that is the highest craftsmanship of a blacksmith.
Lou Gao chuckled, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, soul guides have not yet officially expanded into the market. You should stabilize the Blacksmith Association first. When soul guides are truly popular among the masses, we, the master and the disciple, will work together to include the Blacksmith Association."

It is a bit unrealistic to directly transform the Blacksmith Association into a Soul Guidance Instrument Association. At least the power and popularity of soul guidance instruments have not been proven yet.
Even though Lou Gao was a master craftsman and the president of the association, it was impossible for him to change the name of the Blacksmith Association to the Soul Instructor Association with just one sentence.

However, Lou Gao knew very well that soul guides would soon overwhelm the original blacksmithing skills, and the Blacksmith Association would be severely damaged. At that time, no blacksmith would dare to raise any objection if the Blacksmith Association acquired all the blacksmiths.

I have to say that Lou Gao was able to get into the role very quickly. As soon as he said he wanted to join the Soul Instructor Association, he began to prepare to annex the Blacksmith Association.

Su Chen at the side interrupted, "Master Lou Gao, please bring a group of trusted confidants with you. The Soul Instructor Association is seriously short of personnel. If there are not enough people, it will be difficult to support it."

Lou Gao made a reassuring gesture, "Please rest assured, young master. I will make sure everything is arranged clearly. After being the president for so long, I must have cultivated quite a few confidants."

"But Master, the initial expenses of building a power are quite high..."

"Here are 500 million gold soul coins, which are used to select a base and recruit personnel. If it's not enough, just ask me." Su Chen handed over a gold card. Anyway, with the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, money is not a problem.

If it’s not enough, just ask Ning Fengzhi for more. That old guy is the one who has the most money anyway.

"That's enough, that's enough..."

Lou Gao swallowed as he picked up the gold card. Although he was the president of the Blacksmith Association, 500 million gold soul coins was not a small amount for him. He had used all his life savings to buy noble ores for experiments. There were not many forces that could afford to hire a master craftsman to forge.

"I have already instructed someone to purchase the ore. You can now go and select the location and personnel for the association."

Lou Gao said briskly, "Okay, the Blacksmith Association has a branch in the Metal City. They have all the items needed for forging. I'll just buy them from them. I know all the old guys, so I don't dare to ask too high a price."

With the support of Gold Soul Coin, all troublesome things become easy. When you encounter difficulties, just use money to solve them.

Su Chen nodded, without interfering, and let him do what he wanted. "Okay, from today on, you will be the vice president of the association, and you will be in charge of all the affairs of the association."
