Douluo: Protects Our Spirit Hall Chapter 379

  Chapter 379 Metal Capital—Gengxin City

  Inside the Grand Duke's Mansion.

  After hearing the news that Zhu Zhuqing had returned to the family, Zhu Zhuyun hurried over.

  The two sisters met in the living courtyard specially set up for candidate heirs within the family.

  Seeing the intact younger sister Zhu Zhuqing.

  Zhu Zhuyun's eyes are complicated, with doubts, puzzles, surprises and joys, pity and love, etc.

   But after a while, Fu became cold again.

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

   Zhu Zhuyun spoke lightly, with a bit of provocation in his tone, and said to Zhu Zhuqing in a cold voice.

   "Yeah, I'm still alive, I'm still alive and well, let my sister down!"

  Looking at her older sister Zhu Zhuyun who was standing in front of her, Zhu Zhuqing frowned, her expression was cold, not at all cowardly, and she choked back.

Huh? What's the matter with this girl? In the past, I was always resigned, why does it feel a little different now, and I have learned to refute? Zhu Zhuyun was a little speechless for a while, and seemed to have noticed some changes in Zhu Zhuqing that were different from usual.

  She took a deep look at Zhu Zhuqing.

   Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's complexion was rosy, his body was healthy, and he didn't look injured at all, but he was a little confused.

   After thinking about it, she asked:

   "You obviously suffered such a serious injury, how did you heal it overnight?"

"Nothing to do with you!"

   Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.

  As soon as she mentioned the injuries she suffered before, she felt angry.

  If it wasn't for her sister's sneak attack, how could she have been seriously injured and had no power to fight back, so she could only run away in embarrassment.

   Fortunately, I met Big Brother Ye, who saved her life with the best medicinal herbs.

   Otherwise, even if she didn't die at the hands of her sister, she would die at the mouth of the soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest.

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

  Zhu Zhuqing was very upset, full of malice and hatred, and didn't want to talk to her at all.

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

  After all, my sister targeted her and suppressed her not 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 her sister brought to her in the past three years.

   After saying a word, Zhu Zhuqing bypassed Zhu Zhuyun who was blocking the way, and walked towards his living room.

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

   "Hey, my silly sister, I gave you a chance to escape, why come back? Is it possible that you really want to be with my sister forever?"

   "But how can you be my sister and my opponent, you are so naive! You will come back to the family, nothing but a dead end."

  Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's figure gradually walk away.

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

   "That coat. It belongs to that apprentice."

  She is too familiar with that coat.

   There is one in her storage soul guide.

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

  Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing's figure disappeared completely, Zhu Zhuyun's bulging chest heaved violently, his hands clenched into fists, he gritted his teeth, and snorted viciously:

   "Damn Deng Tuzi, can't you take Zhuqing away? Why put her back?! Dare to spoil my good deeds, don't let me see you again, otherwise. Hmph~~"

  Ye Qifeng and the other three were unaware of the episode where the sisters Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing met in Grand Duke Youming's mansion.

   Under the guidance of Fengxian.

  Ye Qifeng and Nihuang passed through the inner city and came to the outer city in the other direction of Star Luo City, which is the southern area.

  Xingluo City faces the Star Dou Great Forest to the north. When Ye Qifeng and the others arrived at Xingluo City, they entered the city through the north gate.

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

  In the southern area in the other direction, almost all the people living there are ordinary civilians.

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

  After coming to Fengxian's house.

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

  Fengxian's mother is named Qin Lan. She used to be a young lady from an aristocratic family.

   Originally, the life of a family of three was quite happy.

  It was just that a sudden change happened later, the husband's family fell in the cruel struggle in Xingluo, and the natal family that survived by clinging to the husband's family also suffered disaster and ceased to exist.

  Owners of the two aristocratic families, only Fengxian's mother and the young Fengxian survived, but their noble status was deprived and demoted to commoners.

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

  Besides loving to play with flowers and plants, knowing some herbs and a little medical knowledge, I don't know anything else, and I don't have much ability.

   It can be said that she belongs to the kind of lady who needs to be served.

  It is a bit embarrassing for her to let such a weak woman, with her young Fengxian, struggle to survive in this strictly hierarchical and brutally fought Xingluo Imperial City.

  The family suffered a series of accidents. Fengxian's mother was already deeply affected and depressed. In order to let her daughter live well, she overworked and accumulated illnesses, which resulted in myocardial damage and diseases.

  Because of not being able to earn money and moving several times, the remaining savings in the family were spent less and less, and were quickly exhausted.

  If it weren't for Fengxian who can still receive a monthly payment of a gold soul coin from the Wuhun Temple every month, I'm afraid that the mother and daughter would not be able to survive long ago.

   But in this Xingluo Imperial City where every inch of land is expensive, this little money is just a drop in the bucket, and it can't meet Fengxian's mother's needs for curing her illness. As a result, her illness has been unable to be cured for a long time, but it is getting worse and worse, and finally she is bedridden.

  Fengxian's mother is only thirty years old now, which is the most prosperous time in a woman's life, but because of a serious illness, she has to lie on the bed and wait for death.

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

  Fengxian's mother, Qin Lan, was already very weak and was dying. If she didn't receive timely treatment, she might die soon.

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

Not only that.

  Perceiving that Qin Lan's spirit was a little weak and her mind was damaged, Ye Qifeng took out an extremely high-quality spiritual herb by the way, and gave her to take it to help her restore her mind and strengthen her spirit.

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

  After rescuing Fengxian's mother.

  Ye Qifeng and Nihuang revealed their identities, and at the same time expressed their reasons for coming.

  When they proposed that they liked Fengxian's talent and hoped that Fengxian would join Wuhun Palace and go to Wuhun City with them.

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

  Now their mother and daughter are no longer nobles, and she is just a useless mother who can't do anything, not only can't help her daughter, but will even hinder her daughter.

  In this heavily hierarchical Star Luo City, there is no future at all, and it is hard to say whether he can survive.

  Now 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 has a thousand and ten thousand wishes in her heart.

   She has also heard of Wuhun City.

  That is the most powerful force in the entire continent, the headquarters of the Wuhun Temple, and it is also the supreme holy place in the hearts of those powerful soul masters.

  If my daughter can go to Wuhundian, with her talent, she will definitely be able to be well cultivated, and she will definitely be able to stand out in the future.

  Since this is the case, it is better to let the daughter go out and make a breakthrough, so as not to waste her excellent talent.

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

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

   But Fengxian was a little hesitant.

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

  Fengxian is very clear about the mother's condition.

  After all, my mother is not a soul master, but just a weak woman. In the past, as a noble lady and wife, she was almost untouchable, and now she is not much better.

  If you leave yourself and have no one to take 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 very happy, no worries, and immediately nodded in agreement.

  Anyway, bringing Qin Lan, who is serving as a fairy mother, to Wuhun City is just a matter of little effort.

  Ye Qifeng has already made arrangements for her.

  According to Fengxian, Qin Lan is 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 is the case.

  Maybe let her go to Ju Douluo Yueguan's courtyard to help take care of those flowers and plants.

   Presumably Ju Douluo Yueguan would not refuse.

   After discussing everything.

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

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

   Now that there are two more people living in suddenly, the room is not enough.

Because Nihuang always acted very intimate in front of Ye Qifeng, Qin Lan, who accidentally saw this scene, mistakenly thought that they were a couple, so she asked her daughter Fengxian to move in to sleep with her and vacate the room , left to them.

   This made Ye Qifeng dumbfounded for a while.

  That night, he originally planned to make do with the night in the living room and spend it in cultivation, but was dragged into the room by Nihuang involuntarily. Well, don't think about it, he just had a normal sleep.

  Next.

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

  The next day, Ye Qifeng chose a fairy herb and gave it to Fengxian.

  After taking the fairy grass, Fengxian's martial spirit Fang Tian painted a halberd. Unsurprisingly, he successfully evolved into a super martial spirit and awakened the power of a demon god.

   On the third day, accompanied by Qin Lan and Fengxian's mother and daughter, Ye Qifeng and Nihuang wandered around Xingluo City for a day.

   During the period, I stopped by the Star Luo City Martial Soul Temple, met with the Platinum Bishop who was stationed in the temple, obtained information about the Star Luo Empire, and confessed some things 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 by the way.

  Although Qin Lan is a weak woman who doesn't know much about the world, she bought the house after all, and she is familiar with the way to sell it.

  Because the price was set very low, the house was very popular and 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 Star Luo City together.

  However, they did not go directly to Wuhun City.

  The destination of their trip is the metal capital in the southwestern 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 itself is not considered a famous city. 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 on the mainland, as well as large quantities of common metals, so Gengxin City has a special title - "Metal Capital".

  Based on 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 the cities in the Douluo Continent.

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

  So it is also known as - "Blacksmith's Paradise".

  The Continental Blacksmiths Association General Assembly is located in this city.

   It's just that Douluo Dalu is the world of soul masters after all, and blacksmiths are not valued in the eyes of the world, so their status is not high, about the same as that of ordinary people.

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

  A combination of various reasons has led to the fact that Gengxin City, as the city of metal, is not well-known 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 the people's livelihood depend on the smelting and forging skills of blacksmiths.

  Whether it is military weapons and equipment, or civilian agricultural tools, furniture, construction tools, etc., blacksmiths are required to participate.

   Especially the weapons and equipment required by the army, its strategic significance is the most important.

  Although the Douluo Continent is the world of soul masters and relies on the fighting ability of martial souls, it still belongs to the era of cold weapons, especially ordinary troops with low-end combat power.

  The strength 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 weapons and equipment are good or not depends on whether the metal resources are complete or not, as well as the strength of the blacksmith's smelting and forging technology.

  In addition, the more advanced the weapon and equipment cast by the blacksmith, the higher the value and the stronger the power.

  The high-level blacksmiths, except for the Haotianzong and the Lizhi clan, are all concentrated in the blacksmith association general meeting in Gengxin City.

  So, 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 one masters Gengxin City, it is equivalent to mastering most of the metal resources in the entire continent, mastering most of the blacksmiths in the Blacksmiths Association, and mastering the strongest smelting and forging technology in the world.

  So, no matter what, Wuhundian must take Gengxin City into its pocket and use it for itself.

  Ye Qifeng and Nihuang came here for this reason.

   Thanks to【Yi Xiao Mo My Heart】for the reward of 888 starting coins! Thank you [Kefei] for the 100 starting coins!
