—------------------—
Forging technology was not valued in Douluo Continent. It was only after Tang San popularized hidden weapons that the status of the blacksmith industry was improved.
But after the invasion of the Sun-Moon Empire, under the impact of soul guides, forging technology declined again.
It was not until the emergence of battle armor that the status of blacksmiths reached a new height.
"We call this kind of equipment that can only be activated by soul power a soul guide."
"Due to their own characteristics, these soul guides need to be made of various rare and precious metals."
Ye Ling looked at Lou Gao with burning eyes and continued.
"So I was wondering if I could use the forging technology of the Blacksmith Guild to forge ordinary metals by mixing a small amount of rare metals into them."
"This will allow the alloy to have some of the properties of rare metals and can also greatly reduce the cost of soul guides."
The biggest problem for any new thing to become popular is cost.
Because only after the cost is reduced can ordinary people use it and it can be promoted quickly.
Lou Gao held the pistol in his hand with a thoughtful look on his face.
"No matter how a single piece of metal is spliced or forged, it is impossible for a weapon to have such power."
Lou Gao stretched out his hand and tapped the pistol, then looked at Kong Deming.
"This is your work. Can I take it apart and have a look?"
Arbitrarily dismantling other people's work is considered dishonorable in the blacksmithing industry, especially among high-level blacksmiths.
"Please."
Kong Deming had no objection to this. In his eyes, this thing was just a low-level soul guide device.
After getting Kong Deming's consent, a black light flashed on Lou Gao's hand, and a small hammer the size of a palm appeared in his hand.
Three yellow, three purple, and one black, seven soul rings immediately appeared under his feet.
Although he is a seven-ring Soul Saint, this soul ring configuration is indeed a bit low.
"This is Lou Gao's spirit forging hammer."
"Unlike the powerful Clear Sky Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect, Lou Gao's martial spirit can only be used for fine forging of metals and does not have any offensive power."
Titan on the side hurriedly explained to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling nodded, his eyes fixed on the fine forging hammer in Lou Gao's hand.
"dismantle!"
Lou Gao shouted in a low voice.
The moment the fifth soul ring under his feet lit up, the fine forging hammer in his hand directly hit the pistol in the other hand.
In an instant, a bright black light burst out from the pistol.
The black light seemed to be coming from the inside of the pistol, quickly spreading to every gap and interface on the surface.
Amidst everyone's stunned expressions, the entire pistol suddenly disintegrated and turned into various parts scattered on the ground.
"With such martial spirit and spirit skills, Senior Lou Gao is worthy of the title of Master Craftsman."
Ye Ling exclaimed in admiration, and even Kong Deming beside him kept nodding his head.
"Among the three great master craftsmen of the time, Tang Hao is good at purifying metals because of his martial spirit. And I am good at forging because of my great strength."
"As for Lou Gao, because of his martial spirit, he is particularly good at designing various precision instrument structures."
Titan continued to explain to everyone.
It can only be said that the three greatest craftsmen of the time are people with real skills.
Even Tang Hao, after changing his identity, chose to become an ordinary blacksmith.
"I see. I didn't expect the interior design to be so ingenious!"
Lou Gao ignored what the others were saying and studied the spare parts on the floor with shining eyes.
"It's not just the splicing of rare metals, the most important thing is the several strange patterns inside."
"It is precisely because of these strange patterns that the soul power can be gathered and converted into powerful energy rays!"
Lou Gao was completely immersed in his own world, constantly studying the core formation in the soul guide device.
"Boy, what are these strange patterns?"
After a while, Lou Gao put down the parts in his hand and asked Ye Ling hurriedly.
For a man who regards forging as his life, discovering a new world beyond his own technology, he is of course anxious to know everything.
"The strange patterns on this soul guide are formations."
In order to lure Lou Gao to join Butian Pavilion, Ye Ling naturally had to throw in his own chips.
"These formations are the core of the soul guide's operation!"
"Through different core formations, the soul guide can have different abilities."
As Lou Gao listened to Ye Ling's introduction, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Whether it is the soul guide or the so-called core formation, they have surpassed the boundaries of his knowledge.
It gave him a long-lost sense of freshness.
"I see, that's how it is!"
Lou Gao stepped forward, grabbed Ye Ling's wrist and asked.
"Young man Ye, how many types of core formations do you have? How do you carve them?"
"Do you need any special tools?"
"What is the maximum power of the soul guide you invented?"
Ye Ling calmly broke free from Lou Gao's hand, a look of regret on his face.
"What you asked are the secrets of our Butian Pavilion."
"Even if I want to explain, I cannot reveal it because of the pavilion rules."
At this moment, Lou Gao only felt an unbearable itchiness in his heart, as if a stunning beauty was posing in front of him, but he was impotent.
"What do you mean?"
Lou Gao glared at Ye Ling and asked unhappily.
"It doesn't mean anything, just a token of my appreciation."
Ye Ling blinked and said innocently.
"Originally our idea was to come to Gengjin City to purchase a batch of rare metals."
"We are also thinking about whether we can recruit a group of skilled blacksmiths to go to Tiandou City with us to assist us in the research of soul guides."
"That's why I told you the secrets of soul guides in our Butian Pavilion. See if you can recommend some suitable blacksmiths to us."
"It would be better if you could give us a discount on the rare metals we purchased."
Lou Gao looked at Ye Ling with a forced smile and spoke after a long while.
"Is this your purpose?"
"You want to lure me to Tiandou City through this so-called soul guide? To join your Butian Pavilion?"
Ye Ling shook his head.
"How can I ever ask for such status as Senior?"
After a pause, Ye Ling added another sentence.
"But if Senior is willing, we at Butian Pavilion are willing to accept it."
Lou Gao's old face turned red when he heard this.
With his status, he would be a guest of honor of all forces wherever he went, but he didn't expect that today he would be so reluctantly treated by a young man.
"Senior, there is no need to rush to draw conclusions."
See it's almost cooked.
Ye Ling pointed at Kong Deming who was standing beside him and said.
"This is the chief worshiper of the Soul Guidance Hall of the Butian Pavilion."
"He will stay in Gengjin City for the next few days. You can communicate with him and learn about soul guides."
Lou Gao's gaze immediately moved to Kong Deming.
"Hehe, I'd like to ask you some advice to see how many tricks there are in this so-called soul guide device of your Butian Pavilion!"
