Douluo Continent: Transmigrated as Qian Renxue's follower, forced to become a god

Chapter 104 Lou Gao Wants to Be a Soul Mentor

Inside the Blacksmiths' Guild.

Shi Yueyi and Ning Rongrong arrived at Lou Gao's usual workplace.

"Please excuse my poor skills, ladies. I am not good at tidying up..."

Shi Yueyi waved her hand casually, indicating that she didn't care.

Since she arrived at the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, she has been in charge of the household affairs in Qian Renxue's bedroom, and the original maids no longer enter... although this place, being on a higher floor, looks a bit messier.

"Master, I've already prepared the reception room in advance. Why don't you and the others go over there and chat?" Lou Gao's disciple, Si Long, walked in and said to Lou Gao.

"Alright, you brat, I didn't spoil you for nothing!" Lou Gao stood up abruptly, his slightly chubby body jiggling.

Shi Yueyi looked at the humanoid ball in front of her and nodded helplessly.

They followed Silong to the reception room.

"Let me be frank, dragging this out for too long might upset some people," Shi Yueyi said.

Lou Gao took out the mental-type soul guide hairpin and placed it on the table.

Shi Yueyi said, "I came to Gengxin City to make contact with you, Chairman Lou Gao."

"Speaking of which, Miss Shi Yueyi, could you tell me how this soul tool came to be?"

They had already reintroduced themselves on the way, and Ning Rongrong didn't hide anything, directly stating that she was the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader.

Lou Gao couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. This young woman was about 1.62 meters tall, and her attire was rather mature...

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the child is not yet an adult.

Can they really make something this good?

Shi Yueyi took out a stack of blueprints for the soul-guiding core array and placed them in front of Lou Gao: "You can take a look at this."

Lou Gao took the stack of blueprints and began to study them carefully.

"This...this is!" Lou Gao exclaimed in shock. "This tiny hairpin actually hides so many secrets! Moreover, I noticed as soon as I got my hands on it that it's made of composite metal, just like some of the things I use every day..."

He launched into a frantic, rambling analysis.

"He's stronger than the leader of the Seven Treasures Sect," Ning Rongrong whispered to Shi Yueyi.

Shi Yueyi nodded helplessly. Although the leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's craftsmen was eager to learn, he ultimately lacked a certain spirituality, perhaps because he had mainly been making ordinary weapons and armor in the past.

The creation of soul tools emphasizes spirituality.

Because, as long as the blueprints are provided, along with certain skills and sufficient resources, it's all possible.

So it's true that anyone can make a soul tool.

However, Lou Gao put forward his own idea in his statement just now, which is very important - innovation ability.

One very important criterion for the Soul Master assessment of the Sun Moon Empire is whether or not one has their own original works.

Compared to the hidden weapons Tang San brought from another world, the core array of the soul tool is actually closer to some of the technologies in Douluo Continent.

Therefore, Lou Gao can be even more excited because he can expand on the existing foundation.

The design of the hidden weapon may have already been finalized. Tang San said how to make it, so we had to do it that way. Lou Gao was more like a synthesis platform, fusing various materials together.

But now, he can become a developer after conducting research.

This is undoubtedly more tempting.

"Miss Poet, how can I obtain more... these design blueprints? I really want to study them! I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Lou Gao scratched his head anxiously, which was completely out of character for his chubby figure. Instead, he looked more like a monkey who had seen a banana tree, excitedly scratching his ears and cheeks.

Shi Yueyi smiled and said, "President Lou Gao, join us."

Lou Gao looked at them, then said anxiously, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Okay, okay, I promise you!"

"No," Shi Yueyi shook her head, "It's the Spirit Hall."

This was probably the first time Shi Yueyi had openly admitted that she was on the side of the Spirit Hall; before that, she had always referred to herself as the Crown Prince's son.

"The Spirit Hall?" Lou Gao was stunned, and his heart sank.

"Are you worried that the Spirit Hall is full of people like Bishop Miles?" Shi Yueyi said casually.

Lou Gao hesitated for a moment, then slumped into the sofa: "Bishop Miles's actions over the years, and his various suppressions and humiliations of the Blacksmiths' Guild."

"I apologize to you and the Blacksmiths' Association for what he did." Shi Yueyi pushed the prepaid card containing 900,000 gold soul coins up the building. "Making money is not easy. You have suffered all these years."

The building remained unmoved because Miles' actions were simply too outrageous.

"Since President Lou Gao is unwilling to join the Spirit Hall, I won't force him." Shi Yueyi stood up. "I'll give you the blueprints for this Level 4 Spiritual Soul Tool and this card. Farewell."

Lou Gao paused for a moment, then shouted, "Wait a minute!"

"As long as the Spirit Hall can deal with Miles, I'm willing to join!" Lou Gao said anxiously.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Shi Yueyi sat down again.

"That's easy to say," she smiled. "It's just Miles. How do you want him to die? Cast him into a metal mannequin with your alloy and sink him underground? Or break his arms and legs and throw him out to feed the wolves?"

Lou Gao shuddered: "No, there's no need to be so harsh... Just sentence him in public, and then make all the Soul Masters who have committed offenses in this Spirit Hall pay the price and be punished."

"Furthermore, there's another reason why I felt something was amiss..." Lou Gao said hesitantly, "The vice president of the Blacksmiths' Association, Hercules Titan, is also in Xin Geng City, and he can be said to be of great importance to the Spirit Hall..."

"So, now we have two choices," Shi Yueyi said, looking up at the tall building.

"First, it's your choice between Soul Guidance Technology and Titan."

"Secondly, you have to choose between your attitude towards Miles and your attitude towards the Spirit Hall."

Lou Gao thought for a moment, then said, "I can answer your second question. Obviously, Miles doesn't represent everyone in the Spirit Hall. Speaking of which, although the Spirit Hall didn't pay much attention to us before, they would still come to the Blacksmith Association if they had problems with forging, such as some weapons and armor, as well as soul tools that don't require a core magic array."

Shi Yueyi knew that in the original story, after the Spirit Hall broke through Qibao, it did sell the Zhuge Crossbow that it had captured, and Lou Gao took it to study.

"I can make a deal with the Spirit Hall to elevate the status of blacksmiths, because soul tools are bound to play a significant role," Shi Yueyi said. "Then, those who can manufacture soul tools will be called Soul Masters, what do you say?"

"As for Vice President Titan..." Lou Gao hesitated for a moment.

His disciple, Si Long, couldn't help but say, "Master, you must know what Vice President Titan is thinking. They want to turn the Blacksmiths' Association into their vassal."

"Although the Spirit Hall produced a scoundrel like Miles, it is still different from those sects in general. I heard that when they recruit some families, they do not treat them as vassals, but treat them equally and advance and retreat together. Soul Masters who have reached the Title Douluo level can also become elders and have certain powers."

"After Vice President Titan arrived in Gengxin City with his men, he's been secretly trying to annex us. Because the Haotian Sect was destroyed, he's worried that Tang Hao, who's away, will be implicated, so he wants to give him a safe haven," Si Long said. "This doesn't feel like a good sign."

Lou Gao said, "However, we blacksmiths cannot become Title Douluo."

"But you can become a Soul Master," Shi Yueyi said. "A Soul Master is a profession with the same status as a Soul Master."

"How can you guarantee that what you say is true?" Lou Gao asked.

"I'm the granddaughter of a high-ranking member of the Spirit Hall, so I'm connected through connections," Shi Yueyi said. "High-ranking members are like my elders. What I mean is, they don't mind offering some perks to win over important people. The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is right beside me now; she's one of my people. Isn't that convincing enough?"

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at her, but did not deny it; instead, she nodded.

After a detailed discussion, Lou Gao agreed to join.

"In that case, my disciples and I will join the Spirit Hall," Lou Gao said. "As for the other members of the Blacksmiths' Association, I cannot make that decision for them."

"Sure, anyone who wants to join can join." Shi Yueyi nodded.

"Furthermore..." Shi Yueyi said, "I want the bishop of Gengxin City and Haotian Li Nu to disappear... so that no one will bother you."
