# Chapter 484: Crisis of the Blacksmith Association
Less than a month had passed since absorbing the Soul Ring, but with the blessing of the Dragon and Phoenix Heart, there were signs of a breakthrough in his Soul Power level.
This was actually why Huo Wu dared to make the One-Year Agreement with the Fierce Fang King.
Having the Dragon and Phoenix Heart was like carrying a portable Blazing Yang Spring, and a more advanced one at that.
This allowed the two of them to completely break free from the constraints of the cultivation environment.
As long as they held hands, they could enter the best cultivation state at any time.
There were still three months until the Continent Elite Tournament. According to the current trend, both of them could improve by two levels.
As for Quan Yi's body tempering, he could use the power of the Volcano Domain to dive deep underground, converting the rock layers into high-pressure Magma to replace water pressure.
For Quan Yi, Magma and Yang Spring were no different.
The only inconvenience in the Academy was forging.
The Thunder Tribulation was too loud. Fortunately, Quan Yi had specifically exchanged knowledge and formulas about alloys from Lou Gao when he went home this time.
He could take this time to learn about this knowledge and refine his forging skills.
Of course, in exchange, Quan Yi taught Lou Gao the Spirit Imbue method he had mastered.
It was said that among the three existing Divine Blacksmiths, Lou Gao was the weakest in metal refining.
This was because Lou Gao's cultivation and strength were the weakest. In today's forging world, strength played a more important role in metal refining.
However, Quan Yi's refining technique focused more on the connection with the metal.
In this regard, the meticulous and skillful Lou Gao was more likely to master Quan Yi's forging techniques.
Coupled with his own decades of forging experience, he had already reached the edge of crossing to the next level.
Without Quan Yi saying much, just showing Lou Gao the entire process of Spirit Imbue once, Lou Gao's accumulated experience immediately turned into nourishment, nurturing his own fruit.
Although he had not fully mastered the Spirit Imbue technique, it was only a matter of Time.
This matter was of great significance to Quan Yi, meaning that his forging techniques could be replicated by others.
There was a big difference between techniques that could be inherited and those that could not.
If his forging techniques were proven to be replicable by outsiders, it would mean that the Quan Family would have a more important technology than Soul Guidance Device techniques.
In this sense, the profession of blacksmith became more important in Quan Yi's heart.
After finishing their Soul Power cultivation, Quan Yi and Huo Wu separated to carry out their respective cultivation. Even if they returned to the Academy, their lives would not change much.
Time also passed little by little in peaceful cultivation.
Just when Quan Yi thought that such days would continue until the opening of the tournament, he did not expect that in less than a month, a message disrupted Quan Yi's cultivation plan.
It was a letter from Gengxin City.
Originally, this letter should have been sent directly to Hanhai City by the person in charge of receiving the letters.
However, because this person in charge happened to be Quan Ying, and he happened to know that Quan Yi was in Blazing Fire Academy, he directly sent the letter to his hands.
When Quan Yi opened the letter and read it carefully, he immediately understood why Quan Ying would forward this letter to him.
"It's rare to see you so solemn. The content of this letter doesn't seem simple. What happened?"
Huo Wu was sitting opposite Quan Yi when he was reading the letter, so she clearly saw Quan Yi's slightly dignified expression.
Quan Yi handed the letter in his hand to Huo Wu and explained, "The letter was written by Si Long, the current president of the Blacksmith Association in Gengxin City, to Lou Gao, or more accurately, a letter of help to our Quan Family.
Judging from the content of the letter, the current Blacksmith Association seems to be suppressed by the Main Sipirit Hall in Gengxin City."
"Huh? These two organizations are not on the same level at all. Why would the Spirit Hall suppress the Blacksmith Association for no reason?"
Huo Wu was attracted by Quan Yi's attention before she had time to read it.
Quan Yi sighed softly, "What else could it be? Of course, it's because of interests.
In recent years, the Blacksmith Association has earned huge profits in the Star Luo Empire by producing high-quality Bicycles second only to our Quan Family.
The bishop of this Spirit Hall has taken a fancy to the Blacksmith Association's income and wants to use the power of the Spirit Hall and his own martial power to forcibly merge it into his command."
"Given his undisguised greedy nature, Si Long probably knows that after the merger, the entire Blacksmith Association will be treated as a tool to be exploited."
Just then, Huo Wu quickly scanned the letter and finished reading it.
"Bang!"
Huo Wu slammed her hand on the table, her phoenix eyes flashing with a chilling intent.
"To think they want to annex the entire Blacksmith Association in such a crude way, the Spirit Hall is really going too far."
The Blacksmith Association has countless ties with the Quan Family, and the former president, Lou Gao, is still one of their people.
Moreover, the Quan Family still buys inexpensive metals from the Blacksmith Association, so if the Blacksmith Association has problems, they will also be affected to some extent.
"It seems I have to make a trip to Gengxin City."
"I'll go too!"
Huo Wu immediately raised her hand in response to his words.
As she answered, a hint of excitement flickered across her face.
Although the Blacksmith Association is important, she actually smelled more of adventure in this matter.
Quan Yi, who knew Huo Wu best, couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the change in her expression.
He gently tapped Huo Wu's forehead and scolded with a smile, "Be serious, we're not going there to play."
"I know, I know, I'm very serious.
But, this is my first time going to the Star Luo Empire, darling, do you think we should wear new clothes?"
Her attitude of admitting her mistake only lasted for a moment before Huo Wu revealed her true intentions.
Quan Yi sighed helplessly, but in the end, he still doted on her, "Let's go, we haven't had time to go shopping in the past few years, let's take this opportunity to buy some new clothes."
That day, the two went to Saus City for a long-awaited date and shopping spree.
Many new products had been released in Huo Wu's favorite stores during this time, and they all had suitable sizes.
Quan Yi bought everything that Huo Wu liked, and since Huo Wu had enough Storage Space, it was right to stock up on some clothes.
While dating, Quan Yi did not forget his business. Finally, he came to the boutique and met with Quan Ying.
After Quan Yi explained his instructions, he obtained a map of the Star Luo Empire and information on the Quan Family's strongholds in the Star Luo Empire from Quan Ying.
When Quan Yi learned of the crisis of the Blacksmith Association, he saw an opportunity in it.
To seize this opportunity, this information may become an important factor.
After understanding the required information, Quan Yi and Huo Wu returned to the Academy.
The next day, after asking for leave, the two flew south together to the Star Luo Empire.
Gengxin City is located in the southwest of the Star Luo Empire, some distance from Saus City in the south.
But with the Scarlet Dragon's straight flight, they arrived in Gengxin City in just one morning.
