Douluo: Reincarnation of Leosli, punishing the evildoers

Seeing that Leosley didn't intend to pursue the matter, the young man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then please wait in the VIP room while I make the preparations."

"Ah."

Led by the young man, the group arrived at the VIP room of the Blacksmiths' Association.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

The young man gently pushed open the door to the VIP room. Inside, the light was soft, and the walls were painted a heavy, iron-gray. There was an iron-gray square table in the VIP room, on which was a tea set.

"I wonder if you have come here to buy metal, or..." The young man nodded slightly after everyone was seated.

“Of course, there are things I need to buy, Mr. Silong. But this time, we need to meet the master craftsman Lou Gao.” Ning Fengzhi chuckled, then introduced them to Silong, “I suppose these two don’t need an introduction, do they?”

"Yes."

Silong nodded slightly upon hearing this.

He naturally knew Leosley and Siegwen.

With so many stories about them, and the accounts so vividly told, it's hard not to know them.

But this was the first time I had ever seen it.

Clearly, Ning Fengzhi's introduction of Leosley now indicates that he takes Leosley's affairs quite seriously.

"Then the Duke too."

Silong was also a little confused when he heard this. Why would Leosley want to see a tall building?
But Leosley answered him directly with his actions.

When Leosley placed a piece of metal in front of Silong, Silong understood.

"I would like to ask Mr. Lou Gao for a favor and to have this item processed."

Because some small metal objects around it started moving toward this piece of metal.

"Geng essence, and top-grade Geng essence at that!"

Silong looked at the fist-sized piece of metal in front of him and sighed.

It's been so many years since I've seen top-quality metal ore; I couldn't even find a single piece in the treasure room upstairs.

"Excellent!"

Ning Fengzhi was also a little surprised; no wonder the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda reacted so strongly back then.

Soul Masters who possess the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul also have extremely strong treasure appraisal abilities. When he saw this ore at the auction, his desire to bid for it was not entirely at Tang San's request, but more so due to the reaction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Although Ning Fengzhi himself only had a slight understanding of ores, he was very clear about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's reaction.

Although blacksmiths have the ability to turn ore into tools, the quality of a tool sometimes depends on the quality of the ore. It's not that the better the blacksmith, the better the product; it's just that the more skilled the blacksmith, the more exquisite the object they create.

Take Lou Gao for example. He has extremely strong metal forging skills and has forged many excellent weapons and equipment. However, he lacks good ore, which means that the things he forges, though good, are just so-so.

Moreover, top-grade Geng Essence, like the silver mother of deep-sea sunken silver and the cold-hearted iron essence, is extremely difficult to shape. The main reason for this is its magnetism and metallic ductility, so it is quite difficult to shape it.

Especially during the forging process, the magnetism of Geng Jing constantly attracts the surrounding metal, making it quite difficult to make it "obey".

Even ordinary Geng essence, if not controlled properly, can be completely ruined.

That's right, literally scrap. Forging Geng Essence can only succeed; failure means scrapping.

This is why Si Long was only slightly surprised when he saw the Geng Essence but didn't touch it. He knew what it was and understood its effects, but his abilities weren't sufficient to perfectly forge it.

So he could only marvel at Leosley's good fortune in finding a top-quality piece of Geng essence.

He was fairly confident with ordinary Geng essence, but he was still a little short of getting top-grade Geng essence.

"So this is troublesome."

Leosley didn't actually expect Lou Gao to be here; he just wanted to borrow the forging tools from the Metal City.

Previously, we always used mechanical forging, but now that we have a rare opportunity to do it ourselves, we naturally can't let this chance pass us by.

"Then please come with me."

Silong nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Although he didn't know what Leosley planned to create with the Geng essence, his teacher couldn't refuse the Duke's visit.

The area between the fourth and fifth floors was truly a mysterious place, completely unguarded, with only a large door standing like a silent guardian at the top of the stairs. Si Long confidently stepped forward, raised his hand, and gently knocked on the door thirty-six times, as if playing an ancient melody.

With a creaking sound, the metal door slowly opened, as if inviting everyone into a brand new world.

As soon as I stepped onto the fifth floor, I was immediately greeted by the clanging and banging sounds, as if a lively symphony was being played.

Si Long explained with a smile, "This isn't an ordinary floor. This is a private forging area specially set up by the Blacksmiths' Association for high-level blacksmiths. Every blacksmith at the Grandmaster level or above can have their own precious space here."

The three followed Si Long to the door of the No. 1 foundry at the deepest part of the room. Si Long stood respectfully by the door and gently knocked on the metal door.

Although it was bustling outside, the foundry was unusually quiet. Suddenly, an annoyed voice came from inside: "Didn't I already tell you? Nobody is allowed to disturb me!"

Si Long hurriedly replied, "Teacher, it's me! I'm sorry to bother you, but the Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has arrived. I have to inform you, please forgive me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the previously agitated voices immediately quieted down.

Soon after, accompanied by a series of mechanical sounds, the large iron door slowly slid open, revealing a short, stout old man behind it.

His height of about 1.6 meters and waist circumference of nearly 1.6 meters are amusing. He has big, protruding ears and a clever look in his small eyes.

His short hair had clearly been unkempt for several days, and he was wearing a large robe. His chubby face still had traces of metallic powder on it, as if he had just been in close contact with some kind of metal.

"Puffy Beast?" Sigwen tilted her head, looking at the tall building in front of her, and said uncertainly.

Leosley hadn't noticed at first, but after hearing what Siegwen said, and looking more closely...
They really do look alike!

It would look even more like it if it didn't have legs.

Ning Fengzhi and Lou Gao naturally didn't know what the so-called "Pengpeng Beast" was, but since it contained the word "beast," it was probably some kind of soul beast.

Lou Gao, who had just come out to greet them, immediately looked dejected upon hearing this.

If it weren't for the little girl's eyes and her strength, he would have thrown the forging hammer at her long ago.

"Cough cough."

Leosley coughed lightly, drawing Lou Gao and Ning Fengzhi's attention.

"Sect Leader Ning, your presence is an honor; I have failed to properly welcome you." (End of Chapter)
