From the sky, a huge iron-gray city came into view.
"This is the famous Metal Capital - Gengxin City. The color of the city walls makes it seem like they're made of metal."
The wind brushed past her hair, and Huo Wu sighed softly.
Indeed, even with a certain distance from the ground, the rich metallic aura made Quan Yi feel refreshed.
In terms of scale, Gengxin City was in the middle to lower tier among all the main cities. Compared to Saus City, the capital of a kingdom, Gengxin City undoubtedly seemed exceptionally ordinary.
From this, one could get a glimpse of the blacksmith's status on the continent.
Quan Yi's pupils flashed with golden light as the Scarlet Dragon Eye quickly scanned the entire city from above.
Under the gaze of his X-ray vision, energy clusters of various colors appeared throughout the city.
The number of Soul Masters in Gengxin City was higher than in towns of the same level, and their distribution pattern was clearly visible.
One part was the Spirit Hall force centered on the Main Sipirit Hall, another part was the Soul Master force controlled by the government, and the last part was the Soul Master force centered on the Blacksmith Association.
Among them, the Spirit Hall had a Soul Emperor-led Soul Master group, numbering about forty, but the overall quality was good.
The government-controlled Soul Master force had the largest number, but they were scattered in every corner of the city.
Finally, the Blacksmith Association also had a certain number of Soul Masters, and the number of Soul Saints was even greater than that of the official forces.
However, the Soul Saints of the Blacksmith Association were production-type Soul Masters, and their combat power was the weakest of the three forces.
This was also the fundamental reason why they could only request assistance from the Quan Family.
After determining the distribution of power, Quan Yi became more confident.
"Wife, help me hide us. We'll sneak in directly from the air."
"Okay."
Pink color spread from Huo Wu's body, and the Scarlet Dragon also began to disappear into thin air.
The location of the Blacksmith Association was extremely conspicuous. In the central area of Gengxin City, there was a building that covered a very large area.
Under Huo Wu's cover, the Scarlet Dragon landed directly on the building and swaggered into the Blacksmith Association.
The interior of the association was divided into five floors. The bottom two floors were the trading area, where blacksmiths' works and metals could be freely traded.
Walking into the first floor, Quan Yi saw a lively trading scene.
The crowded people blocked the two's progress.
"Wow, it's so lively! The situation here is completely different from what I imagined."
Huo Wu was surprised by the heat in the venue. She thought that the Blacksmith Association, which was in crisis, would become deserted, but the situation presented to the two was the opposite.
She curiously glanced at the spacious space without wall barriers, and she found that most of the people gathered in specific places.
And the center of the crowd's encirclement was the neatly arranged Bicycle display stand.
"So, these people are here to buy Bicycles."
Huo Wu was slender and tall. The crowded people could not block her sight. She understood the situation at a glance.
Quan Yi also noticed this, but there was no joy on his face.
"What a scene of Cooking Oil with Fire!
Let's go, let's meet Chairman Si Long first."
They directly crossed over the heads of the crowd and flew to the high-rise.
The third floor was the Blacksmith Registration Examination Area, and the fourth floor was the Auction Area. Different from the trading area below, only particularly valuable or rare forged items would be auctioned here.
Because of this, two Soul Saint-level powerhouses were arranged to guard the staircase from the third floor to the fourth floor.
Entering the third and fourth floors, the environment became much quieter. Crossing the guards, the two came to the fourth-floor staircase smoothly.
However, there were no guards between the fourth and fifth floors, only an alloy door.
This kind of metal door had no handle. It could only be opened by tapping the surface in a specific way to unlock the internal mechanism.
Seeing that the stairs were blocked, Huo Wu asked with a headache:
"What should we do? Should we melt through it?"
"It's not easy to build a door like this. Let's not break it for them.
Don't worry, I know how to handle it."
Quan Yi was very familiar with this kind of metal door. Lou Gao had also built similar metal doors in Han Hai City.
Although Quan Yi knew the principle of the metal door, he didn't know the specific 'password' of this door.
However, that didn't mean Quan Yi couldn't do anything about it.
He slowly stepped forward, placed his palm on the smooth metal surface, and then gently closed his eyes.
Then, Quan Yi tapped the ground with his left foot, and the next moment, a holographic image constructed of fluctuations appeared in Quan Yi's mind.
Vibration perception allowed Quan Yi to detect all the internal structures of the metal in an instant.
Knowing the structure and principle, unlocking the internal mechanism became extremely easy.
He opened his eyes, and his fingers quickly tapped thirty-six times. The heavy door slowly opened, revealing the passage to the upper floors.
Quan Yi turned around and looked back at Huo Wu, quite pleased with himself and said, "Let's go, this little problem can't stump me."
Huo Wu's eyes lit up, and she was charmed by Quan Yi's dazzling operations.
She immediately gave a thumbs up and praised Quan Yi, "Awesome!"
Huo Wu's praise made Quan Yi feel happy. He took Huo Wu's hand and happily walked up to the fifth floor.
As soon as they entered the fifth floor, the two were attracted by the clanging sound of blacksmithing.
This fifth floor was a forging area specially set up for high-level blacksmiths.
The entire fifth floor, from the outside to the inside, had a total of thirty-six forging rooms, all of which were closed rooms.
Quan Yi extended his spiritual perception and instantly locked onto Si Long's location.
It was the innermost number one forging room.
When the two entered the room, they saw Si Long with a worried face at first glance.
"Guild Leader Si Long, what are you troubled by?"
In the closed Space, a sound suddenly came out, completely frightening Si Long, who was deep in thought.
"Who is it!"
Si Long got up in shock to investigate, but when he saw two tall figures standing at the door, the expression on his face changed from surprise to joy.
"Young Master Quan, Miss Huo! You actually came so quickly."
"The day the letter arrived in Saus City, I knew all the situation. To avoid accidents, we both rushed over the next day.
We have already read the letter, but the specific situation still needs to be conveyed to us by the guild leader. Only by understanding the current situation can we make a decision."
Quan Yi went straight to the point, wanting to obtain more accurate information through Si Long.
However, Si Long's face became even more ugly after hearing Quan Yi's explanation.
He bitterly asked, "Young Master Quan, although I am very grateful to the two of you for traveling to Gengxin City, the current situation cannot be resolved by the strength of the two of you alone.
We are currently being closely watched by the Spirit Hall. If they find out about the existence of the two of you, it is likely to cause a lot of trouble for you."
What Si Long expected was Quan Li, or Quan Yue, because only experts of their level could solve the current crisis.
Quan Yi and Huo Wu understood Si Long's disappointment, and Huo Wu's anger rose straight up.
"Who are you looking down on?"
A strong aura erupted from Huo Wu's body.
