Douluo's transformation from becoming stronger starts with eating soul beast meat

As afternoon approached, the number of people around the Soul Arena didn't decrease but increased, with a continuous stream of people filling the roads.

Fortunately, the carriage was parked far away; otherwise, leaving would have meant abandoning the carriage.

However, this also confirmed the Soul Arena's popularity on the continent.

To coincide with the public's rest time, the Soul Arena mostly scheduled exciting Soul battles in the evening, so people could come with their families to watch the Soul battles after finishing work.

Squeezing through the crowded people, Quan Yi and Su Ling'er walked to a more spacious road, where their carriage was parked.

"Where are we going next?" Su Ling'er asked.

"It's still early. I want to go to the blacksmith shop to take a look." Quan Yi had been immersed in cultivation for the past six months and hadn't been to the blacksmith shop. Usually, he could only communicate remotely through letters.

Now that he had a rare opportunity to come out, it was necessary for him to inspect it and check whether it was operating according to his requirements.

"Okay, everyone should still be at the blacksmith shop at this time. It's good for you to show your face and let everyone get to know you."

During the days when Quan Yi was cultivating, his mother helped him monitor the research institute.

Originally, Quan Ying should have been responsible, but when Su Ling'er learned of Quan Yi's plan, she began to take full responsibility for the operation of the research institute.

Having decided on the destination, the carriage drove towards the blacksmith shop on the edge of the city.

Inside the carriage, Quan Yi asked his mother, "Mother, are Soul Tools common in the market?"

"Yes, there are quite a few Soul Tools in the market. Most of them are antiques excavated from ancient ruins."

"However, Soul Tools are also graded."

"Most of them are defective products with almost no use."

"Soul Tools like the Heart of Blazing Sun, which are of superior quality and even more unique, are relatively rare, so they are generally very expensive."

"In general, the situation with Soul Tools is that they are of mixed quality," Su Ling'er patiently explained.

"I heard that the crafting techniques for Soul Tools have been lost," Quan Yi continued to ask.

"Yes, current Soul Tools are all antiques left over from ancient times."

"Then why doesn't anyone try to replicate them or research how to make Soul Tools?" Quan Yi raised his biggest question.

Su Ling'er hadn't thought about this question either, and she pondered for a while.

"Well, I think the biggest reason is that it's too expensive and the results are minimal."

"All families and forces focus on cultivating Soul Masters. Even the top forces wouldn't be extravagant enough to use gold coins to research Soul Tools that can't become combat power. With that money, it's better to spend it on cultivating disciples and attracting other talents."

"Moreover, the audience for Soul Tools is too small. Most people who buy Soul Tools have innate Soul Power."

"People with innate Soul Power are already rare, and the relics from ancient times are enough to meet the needs of most Soul Masters."

Quan Yi's focus was often unusual, so his questions often involved points they overlooked, but Su Ling'er tried her best to give her own answers instead of just making up an excuse to fool Quan Yi.

Su Ling'er had participated in commercial activities, so she found the connection from the most basic supply and demand relationship and explained it to Quan Yi.

After listening to Su Ling'er's explanation, Quan Yi was greatly enlightened.

Indeed, the importance of demand in human society is self-evident.

At this stage, the mainland situation is like a gathering of warlords, with heroes standing side by side. Ambitious families would use money to cultivate their forces, while decadent nobles and wealthy merchant families indulged in pleasure.

Moreover, most Soul Tools are for daily life and lack offensive capabilities.

Without demand, there is no development.

Thinking of this, Quan Yi temporarily withdrew his idea of replicating Soul Tools.

Now is not the right time, and in this era of undercurrents, if it's not an offensive Soul Tool, then it's really not necessary to invest too much.

Quan Yi withdrew his fluctuating heart; researching Soul Tools was still too ahead of its time.

Getting off the carriage, Quan Yi glanced at the gate. There were still few people in front of the gate, and it hadn't changed since the last time he came.

However, the walls surrounding the blacksmith shop were much higher and were made of gray bricks. From the outside, they looked very simple, just like the walls built by ordinary people.

Moreover, the plaque still read Yuan Family Blacksmith Shop and hadn't changed.

These were all Su Ling'er's arrangements to reduce the blacksmith shop's presence.

"Let's go, let's go in and take a look. It's no longer the blacksmith shop it used to be," Su Ling'er said, stepping through the gate and looking back to greet him.

Walking through the gate, was the hall. The hall was still full of weapons, which looked bright and sharp, with a chilling aura, and someone must have been taking special care of them.

However, it didn't seem like much had changed.

However, upon entering the backyard, the dull and dense sound of hammering iron could be heard.

This was obviously not the sound of one person hammering.

Approaching the entrance of the basement, a wave of heat came over him.

However, this bit of heat was painless to Su Ling'er and Quan Yi, and they didn't even sweat a drop.

However, what made Quan Yi feel very different this time was the increased activity of Soul Power. This feeling was like a simulated environment.

Before he could carefully sense it, Quan Yi was attracted by the bustling scene in front of him.

In the underground forging room, unlike the previous desolation, almost all the blacksmiths were standing at the forging tables.

Moreover, the interior of the basement had obviously expanded a lot, and more than a dozen blacksmiths were concentrating on wielding their iron hammers at the forging tables.

Perhaps because the sound was noisy and they were focused on forging, only a few people resting noticed Su Ling'er.

The others were completely immersed in their own worlds.

"Madam, you're here. Oh, Young Master is also here. Welcome, Young Master." Yuan Tiejiang's son, Yuan Fei, walked up to them.

Yuan Fei respectfully greeted Su Ling'er and Quan Yi.

"Where is Yuan Tiejiang?" Su Ling'er asked.

"In the independent research room, please follow me."

The independent research institute was outside the forging room. It was an independent courtyard.

That place used to be someone else's shop, but now it had been bought by the Quan family, and the walls had been opened up to become a relatively hidden secret base.

"Bang!"

Walking into the independent research institute, a crisp explosion sounded.

Hearing this sound, Quan Yi's heart was filled with anticipation, and he quickened his pace.

Walking into the room, Quan Yi first smelled a gunpowder-like odor, similar to the sulfur smell in his memory. This smell made Quan Yi's heart rejoice.

"Dad, can I come in?" Yuan Fei shouted.

"Come in."

Walking into the room, Yuan Tiejiang was seen holding a black long iron gun, standing in front of a wooden target.

The distance to the target was about fifty meters, and there was a penetrating round hole in the target.

"Madam, Young Master, you've come at the right time. I've just completed the first round of test firing." Yuan Tiejiang's expression was full of excitement.
