Not only that, Quan Yi invested all the research funds accumulated over the past few years into Soul Guidance Armor.
This research funding was very large, amounting to tens of millions of Gold Soul Coins.
When Quan Yi slammed this sum of money on Lou Gao's table, Lou Gao immediately said that he had never fought such a rich battle.
With such a huge amount of capital investment, Lou Gao directly waved his hand and bought all kinds of rare metals accumulated by the Gengxin City Blacksmith Association.
Not only that, he specially entrusted his disciples to pay attention to the various rare metals sold at the Gengxin City Auction House for him.
Whether it was Deep Sea Sinking Silver or Cold Heart Iron Essence, as long as he needed it, he could bid directly without asking the price.
Since then, countless rare metals have been continuously transported from Gengxin City to Lou Gao's Forging Room, which provided Lou Gao with various experimental data.
Moreover, because Lou Gao had previously improved the structure of the Steam engine, the efficiency of the Steam Forging Hammer had more than doubled.
With the help of the Steam engine, Lou Gao's research was developing at an astonishing speed.
However, to construct the perfect armor in his mind, he still needed some time.
After Lou Gao collected Quan Yi's information, he completely immersed himself in his research.
Although, under Quan Yi's strong request, Lou Gao ensured a healthy routine.
But apart from that, he spent the rest of his time in the Forging Room and went nowhere else.
On the other hand, Quan Yi, apart from participating in part of the forging at the beginning, handed over the forging task to Lou Gao for full responsibility.
As for the work of the manufacturing Production Line that Lou Gao left behind, Quan Yi handed it over to Blacksmith Yuan.
Blacksmith Yuan had a lot of free time after completing the production of the Maxim Machine Gun and could take over this task.
Blacksmith Yuan's ability has also improved by leaps and bounds in the past few years, and because he has been by Quan Yi's side, he is very clear about his intentions.
The research and development of the Production Line will also be a challenge for Blacksmith Yuan.
However, Quan Yi, who knew Blacksmith Yuan's character, knew that he could withstand this difficulty.
Due to the emergence of Soul Guidance Metal, the original tasks of the two blacksmiths changed.
Both Blacksmith Shops have entered a busy stage, and it will take a period of accumulation for both sides to achieve results.
In contrast, Quan Yi still maintained a fixed cultivation schedule.
After half a semester of cultivation, Quan Yi completely consolidated his soaring strength. Not only that, but his level also increased by one, reaching level sixty-two.
Unconsciously, they had spent six years in this Intermediate Academy.
The other Team members besides Quan Yi and Huo Wu were promoted to Advanced Academy two years ago.
Although Quan Yi and Huo Wu could also be promoted, they were reluctant to leave the Wooden Cabin.
Moreover, the Intermediate Academy and Advanced Academy campuses were close to each other and not far away, so they did not move away.
On the first day after breaking through to level sixty-two, Quan Yi took a day off.
After a full rest, Quan Yi suddenly bid farewell to Huo Wu, applied for a leave of absence from the Academy, and left Saus City.
On the day of departure, Quan Yi left Huo Wu with a reluctant face and resolutely turned and left.
Quan Yi was also reluctant to part with Huo Wu, but Huo Wu's Soul Power level had reached forty-nine, which was at a critical moment for breakthrough.
Moreover, the more important reason was that Quan Yi's next trip would be extremely dangerous. With Huo Wu, Quan Yi was not sure to protect her safety.
In the evening, Quan Yi put all his luggage into the Blazing Sun Heart and walked out of Saus City.
Taking advantage of the night, Quan Yi turned into a black ghost and sped away in one direction.
Quan Yi's current maximum flying speed reached an astonishing 500 kilometers per hour.
When Quan Yi flew, the consumption of maintaining the Second Soul Skill and Fire Spirit Body was very small. In addition, in the state of Fire Spirit Body, Quan Yi could hide the External Soul Bone.
This enabled Quan Yi to use the Scarlet Dragon Horns' automatic energy absorption to replenish energy while flying.
Two hours passed.
Quan Yi directly crossed more than 2,000 kilometers, flying from the south of Heaven Dou Empire to near the capital, Heaven Dou City.
After more than four hours of tedious flight, Quan Yi finally arrived at his destination—Sunset Forest.
Quan Yi, transformed into flames, first landed at the entrance of the forest.
When his body reappeared, Quan Yi could keenly feel the difference in temperature.
The temperature in the north was obviously lower than in the south, especially after sunset.
The cool mountain breeze blew from the Sunset Forest, ruffling Quan Yi's hair.
His gaze turned towards the direction of the Forest Center.
At this moment, within the elemental vision of the Scarlet Dragon Horns, he could observe the majestic fire elemental energy existing in the Forest Center.
Moreover, this fire elemental energy was extremely pure. The Scarlet Dragon Horns didn't even need to filter it; they could directly convert the energy into Quan Yi's cultivation.
After Quan Yi slightly recovered his consumed spiritual power here, he decisively flew into the Sunset Forest.
A quarter of an hour passed, and Quan Yi successfully arrived at the very center of the Sunset Forest.
Looking at the Poisonous Fog emitting an eerie light before him, the corners of Quan Yi's mouth curled into an excited smile.
Quan Yi didn't stop; instead, he transformed into a black thread and rushed into the Poisonous Fog.
Passing through the Poisonous Fog, a small mountain appeared before Quan Yi. He easily climbed upwards, flying into the mountain hollow at the summit.
The mountain hollow was still shrouded in mist as always, but when Quan Yi landed at the bottom, springs of red and white water, distinctly separated, appeared before his eyes.
Arriving at this place, many memories flashed through Quan Yi's mind.
Dugu Bo, Martial Soul evolution, changes in Soul Guidance Devices—this was a place where crisis and opportunity coexisted.
Today, he had returned here to settle things once and for all.
In the flower garden around the spring, a verdant figure was hidden among the large flower clusters.
This figure was the Nine-Section Emerald raised by Dugu Bo.
Back then, it was because of its existence that Quan Yi was discovered by Dugu Bo.
At that time, Quan Yi couldn't even sense its existence, but the current Quan Yi was no longer the same as before.
Quan Yi simulated the energy fluctuations around the hot spring, transforming into tiny, invisible fire elements, silently appearing behind the Nine-Section Emerald.
Quan Yi looked at the crystal-clear emerald snake, thinking to himself, "I suffered a lot because of this little thing before."
Looking at the Nine-Section Emerald, which was completely unaware of him, Quan Yi couldn't help but want to tease it.
In the next instant, the tiny fire elements suddenly surged, transforming into a black fire rope that tightly entangled the Nine-Section Emerald.
The black fire rope was like a vine, instantly wrapping around the little snake's entire body. Its mouth was also firmly covered, unable to make a sound.
The Nine-Section Emerald was awakened by the sudden change, and its body quickly trembled.
The power erupted from its small body was not to be underestimated, but under Quan Yi's control, its body was stretched straight, and marks even appeared on the surface of its body, which was comparable to refined steel.
The Nine-Section Emerald felt the threat of death at this moment.
It wanted to call for help, but its body was suspended in mid-air, unable to move at all.
Realizing its situation, the Nine-Section Emerald fell into despair, unconsciously giving up resistance.
