Chapter 379 The City of Metal—Gengxin City

Inside the Nether Grand Duke's Mansion.

After learning that Zhu Zhuqing had returned to his family, Zhu Zhuyun hurried over.

The two sisters met in a residential courtyard set up specifically for heir candidates within the family.

I saw my sister Zhu Zhuqing who was intact.

Zhu Zhuyun's eyes were complicated, including confusion, confusion, surprise and joy, pity and love, etc.

But after a while, it became cold again.

"Oh, my dear sister, are you still alive?"

Zhu Zhuyun spoke lightly, with a hint of provocation in his tone, and said coldly to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Yes, I am still alive and well. I let my sister down!"

Looking at his sister Zhu Zhuyun who was standing in front of him, Zhu Zhuqing frowned, his expression was cold, not timid at all, and he choked back.

Eh? What's going on with this girl? She used to be submissive, but now she feels a little different, and she actually learned to refute?. Zhu Zhuyun was a little speechless for a moment, and seemed to have noticed some changes in Zhu Zhuqing that were different from usual.

She took a deep look at Zhu Zhuqing.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing's face was rosy, he was in good health, and he didn't appear to be injured at all, he was a little confused.

After thinking for a while, she asked:

"You were obviously so seriously injured, how did you heal it overnight?"

"Nothing to do with you!"

Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.

When she mentioned the previous injuries, she felt angry.

If it weren't for her sister's secret attack, she would have been seriously injured and unable to fight back, so she could only run away in embarrassment.

Fortunately, she met Brother Ye and saved her life with the best medicinal herbs.

Otherwise, even if she does not die at the hands of her sister, she will still die at the mouth of the spirit beast in the Star Dou Forest.

At this moment, he looked at his sister Zhu Zhuyun in front of him.

Zhu Zhuqing felt very unhappy, full of malice and hatred, and didn't want to pay attention to her at all.

Although Brother Ye once mentioned that her sister didn't seem to really want to kill her, she couldn't suppress the hatred in her heart and found it hard to believe this statement.

After all, her sister targeted her and suppressed her, not just for a day or two, but for three years.

She couldn't swallow this breath.

If possible, she would like to defeat her sister, and then return all the humiliation that her sister has brought to her in the past three years to her sister.

After saying this, Zhu Zhuqing walked around Zhu Zhuyun who was blocking the way and walked towards his room.

Zhu Zhuyun didn't know what Zhu Zhuqing was thinking in her heart, but she could clearly feel the coldness and hatred in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, and felt slightly bitter in her heart:

"Oh, my silly sister, I gave you a chance to run away, why did you come back? Do you really want to fight to the death with me, my sister?"

"But how can you be my rival, sister? You are too naive! If you return to the family, you will be dead."

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's figure gradually walking away.

Suddenly, Zhu Zhuyun's beautiful eyes narrowed, and his eyes were fixed on the clothes Zhu Zhuqing was wearing:

"That coat belongs to that deceiver."

That coat was so familiar to her.

There is one in her storage soul guide.

No matter the material, style or color, they are all the same.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's figure disappear completely, Zhu Zhuyun's bulging chest rose and fell violently, his jade hands clenched into fists, he gritted his teeth and snorted viciously:

"Damn you bastard, can't you take Zhuqing away? What are you doing by bringing her back?! If you dare to spoil my good deeds, don't let me see you again, otherwise... hum~~"

…………

Ye Qifeng and the other three were unaware of the incident that occurred when sisters Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing met in the Nether Grand Duke's Mansion.

Under the guidance of Fengxian.

Ye Qifeng and Nihuang passed through the inner city and arrived at the outer city in the other direction of Xingluo City, which is the southern area.

Star Luo City is adjacent to the Star Dou Forest to the north. When Ye Qifeng and others arrived at Xing Luo City, they entered the city from the north gate.

The northern area of ​​the outer city of Star Luo City is close to the Star Dou Forest, so most of the people living there are civilian soul masters.

The southern area in the other direction is almost entirely populated by ordinary civilians.

Fengxian's home is on one of the shabby streets in the southern area.

After arriving at Fengxian's home.

Ye Qifeng and Nihuang soon met Fengxian's mother who was lying in bed.

Fengxian's mother's name is Qin Lan. She was once a young lady from a noble family. She was gentle, well-educated and sensible. After marrying Fengxian's father, who was born into a military noble family, she gave birth to a daughter, Fengxian.

Originally, the family of three lived a happy life.

However, something unexpected happened later, and the husband's family fell in the cruel struggle of Xingluo. The natal family, which relied on the husband's family, also suffered disaster and ceased to exist.

Of the two noble families, only Fengxian's mother and young Fengxian survived. However, their aristocratic status was deprived and they were demoted to commoners.

Fengxian's mother was just a lady from a noble family, and she was also an ordinary person.

Usually, except for playing with flowers and plants, knowing some medicinal herbs and a little medical knowledge, he knows nothing else and has no ability.

It can be said that she is the kind of lady who needs to be taken care of.

It is really difficult for a weak woman like her to struggle to survive in this hierarchical and cruel Star Luo Imperial City with her young Fengxian.

The family suffered successive changes, and Fengxian's mother was already deeply affected and depressed. In order to let her daughter live a good life, she overworked and accumulated illnesses, causing damage to the heart muscle and contracting diseases.

Due to the inability to earn money and several moves, the family's remaining savings became less and less and were quickly depleted.

If Fengxian hadn't been able to receive a monthly payment of one gold soul coin from the Wuhun Palace, the mother and daughter might not have been able to survive long ago.

However, in the Xingluo Imperial City where land is precious, this amount of money is only a drop in the bucket, and cannot satisfy Fengxian's mother's need to cure her illness. As a result, her illness could not be cured, and instead it became more and more serious, and she was finally bedridden.

Fengxian's mother is still only thirty years old now, which is the most prosperous time in a woman's life. However, due to serious illness, she has to stay in bed and wait for death sadly.

When Ye Qifeng and Nihuang came to Fengxian's house.

Fengxian's mother, Qin Lan, is extremely weak and is on her deathbed. If she does not receive timely treatment, she may die soon.

Fortunately, Ye Qifeng arrived in time and quickly took out the top-notch herb that could bring life to human flesh and bones, picked off a green leaf, fed it to Fengxian's mother, and rescued her.

Not only that.

Sensing that Qin Lan's spirit was a little weak and her mind was damaged, Ye Qifeng took out a top-quality spiritual herb and gave it to her to help her repair her mind and strengthen her spirit.

Fengxian's mother Qin Lan's illness was completely cured by Ye Qifeng.

After rescuing Fengxian's mother.

Ye Qifeng and Nihuang revealed their identities and their reasons for coming.

When they mentioned that they were interested in Fengxian's talent and hoped that Fengxian would join Wuhun Palace and go with them to Wuhun City.

Qin Lan, Fengxian's mother, felt grateful for Ye Qifeng's life-saving grace and immediately agreed without thinking.

Nowadays, mother and daughter are no longer nobles, and she is just a useless mother who knows nothing. Not only can she not help her daughter, but she will also hinder her daughter.

In this hierarchical Xingluo City, there is no future at all, and it is hard to say whether they can survive.

Now that the two benefactors of Wuhun Palace have taken a fancy to their daughter's talent and want to take her to Wuhun City, Qin Lan is willing to do so.

She had also heard of Wuhun City.

It was the headquarters of the Wuhun Palace, the most powerful force in the entire continent, and also the supreme holy place in the hearts of those powerful soul masters.

If my daughter can go to Wuhun Hall, with her talent, she will definitely be well-educated and she will definitely be able to stand out in the future.

In this case, it is better to let your daughter go out and have a try, so as not to waste her excellent talent.

Therefore, for the sake of her daughter's future, Qin Lan was willing to let go.

Qin Lan was full of joy and welcomed Ye Qifeng and Nihuang's proposal.

But Fengxian was a little hesitant.

Although she was very moved, she couldn't help but resist when she thought of leaving her mother.

Fengxian knew very well what was going on with his mother.

After all, my mother is not a soul master, but a weak woman. In the past, as a noble lady and wife, she almost never touched the spring water, and now she is not much better.

If you are separated from yourself and no one takes care of you, I am afraid it will be difficult to live well.

However, when Ye Qifeng said that he would take her mother away with him, Fengxian was extremely happy and had no worries anymore, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

Anyway, bringing Qin Lan, Fengxian's mother, to Wuhun City is just a piece of cake.

Ye Qifeng had already made plans for her.

I heard from Fengxian that Qin Lan likes to be quiet by nature, loves to cultivate flowers and plants, likes to deal with flowers and plants, and has a certain understanding of medicinal herbs and medical knowledge.

That's the case.

You might as well ask her to help take care of the flowers and plants in Juduluo Yueguan's courtyard.

Presumably Judou Luo Yueguan would not refuse.

…………

After discussing everything.

Ye Qifeng and Nihuang, who originally wanted to go out and find a hotel, were stayed by the enthusiastic mother and daughter Qin Lan and Fengxian and moved into their home.

Fengxian's house is relatively small, with only two small rooms, and usually the mother and daughter live in one room.

Now that two more people have suddenly moved in, the room is a bit insufficient.

Because Nihuang always behaved very intimately in front of Ye Qifeng, Qin Lan, who accidentally saw this scene, mistakenly thought that the two of them were a couple, so he asked his daughter Fengxian to move in and sleep with her to free up the room.

, left to them.

This made Ye Qifeng dumbfounded for a moment.

That night, he originally planned to spend the night in the living room to spend the night practicing, but Nihuang dragged him into the room without any explanation. Well, don't think about it too much, just have a normal sleep.

Next.

Ye Qifeng and Nihuang stayed at Fengxian's house for another two days.

The next day, Ye Qifeng selected an immortal herb and gave it to Fengxian.

After taking the fairy grass, Fengxian's martial spirit Fang Tian Hua Ji, as expected, successfully evolved into a super martial spirit and awakened the power of the devil.

On the third day, accompanied by Qin Lan and Fengxian mother and daughter, Ye Qifeng and Nihuang spent the day wandering around Xingluo City.

During this period, I stopped by the Star Luo City Spirit Temple and met with Bishop Platinum who was stationed at the temple. He obtained information about the Star Luo Empire and explained some matters at the same time.

On the fourth day, Ye Qifeng and Nihuang took Fengxian to the Star Forest to hunt for the second soul ring for Fengxian.

Fengxian's mother, Qin Lan, stayed behind to pack her luggage and sell the house.

Although Qin Lan is a weak and inexperienced woman, she bought the house after all, and she can be considered familiar with the house when selling it.

Because the price was set very low, the house was very popular and was successfully sold quickly.

After hunting the soul ring.

Ye Qifeng, Nihuang and Fengxian returned to Xingluo City, picked up Qin Lan and rented a carriage.

The four of them left Xingluo City together.

However, they did not go directly to Wuhun City.

The destination of their trip is the metal capital far away in the southwest hinterland of the Star Luo Empire——

Gengxin City!

…………

Gengxin City is one of the main cities of the Star Luo Empire. It is located in the southwest of the empire, close to the inland area.

It is not a famous city in itself. Among all the main cities, it only belongs to the middle and lower reaches of the city.

However, this city is home to many rare metals from the mainland, as well as large quantities of ordinary metals. Therefore, Gengxin City has a special title - "Metal Capital".

For this reason, there are also many blacksmiths gathered in this city. It can be said that Gengxin City has the most blacksmiths and blacksmith shops among all cities in the entire Douluo Continent.

According to statistics, there are thousands of blacksmith shops in Gengxin City alone, and the number of blacksmiths is tens of thousands.

Therefore it is also called - "Blacksmith's Paradise".

The Mainland Blacksmiths Association is located in this city.

However, Douluo Continent is the world of soul masters after all. Blacksmiths are not valued in the eyes of the world, so their status is not high, roughly the same as that of civilians.

Therefore, the influence of the Blacksmiths Association only has some status in Gengxin City. Outside this city, it is almost useless.

The combination of various reasons has led to the fact that Gengxin City, as a city of metals, has a low reputation on the mainland.

However, even so, the importance of Gengxin City cannot be ignored.

Although blacksmiths are not valued by the two empires of Tiandou and Xingluo, both the military and people's livelihood depend on the blacksmith's smelting and forging skills.

Whether it is military weapons and equipment, or civilian agricultural tools, furniture, construction tools, etc., they all require the participation of blacksmiths.

In particular, the weapons and equipment required by the army have the most important strategic significance.

Although Douluo Continent is a world of soul masters and relies on the combat capabilities of martial souls, it still belongs to the cold weapon age, especially ordinary armies with low-end combat capabilities.

The combat effectiveness of an ordinary army depends not only on the quality of the soldiers themselves, but also on the quality of their weapons and equipment.

Whether the weapons and equipment are good or not depends on the completeness of metal resources and the strength of the blacksmith's smelting and forging skills.

In addition, the more advanced the weapons and equipment forged by the blacksmith, the higher the value and the stronger the power.

As for the high-level blacksmiths, except for the Haotian Sect and the Li Clan, they are all concentrated in the Blacksmiths Association in Gengxin City.

Therefore, Gengxin City has the most complete metal resources, the most blacksmiths, and the strongest smelting and forging technology.

Its strategic significance is self-evident.

As long as you master Gengxin City, you are equivalent to mastering most of the metal resources in the entire continent, mastering most of the blacksmiths in the Blacksmith Association, and mastering the most powerful smelting and forging technology in the world.

Therefore, no matter what, Wuhun Palace will take Gengxin City into its pocket for its own use.

Ye Qifeng and Nihuang came here just for this reason.

Thanks to [Yixiao Touch My Heart] for the reward of 888 starting coins! Thanks to [Kefei] for the reward of 100 starting coins!
