"I didn't expect Xuan City to be so lively. It's not inferior to the outside world." Han Li looked around and praised.

"This is the main city of Xuan City. It should be like this." Gu Qianxun said indifferently.

The two of them quickly walked past a few streets and left the bustling area. The surroundings started to become less populated.

After walking for a while, the two of them stopped near a scarlet pagoda that was built on the side of a mountain.

The pagoda occupied a large area. It was seventy to eighty feet tall and was divided into nine levels. Countless scarlet runes were carved on it and it emitted a high temperature. It was as if they were standing at the mouth of a volcano.

"Is this where Madam Liu Hua lives?" Han Li looked at the scarlet pagoda and asked.

"That's right. Madam Liu Hua lives on the ninth level of this pagoda. However, it won't be easy to meet her." Gu Qianxun looked at the top of the pagoda and said.

"Daoist Gu seems to have a good understanding of Madam Liu Hua. I wonder what kind of person she is?" Han Li asked in a seemingly casual manner.

"I can't say that I have a good understanding of her. Anyone who has been to Xuan City would know the name of Madam Liu Hua, the number one blacksmith in Xuan City." Gu Qianxun's eyes revealed a trace of longing.

"Is this Madam Liu Hua's blacksmithing skills really that powerful?" Han Li raised his eyebrows and said.

"Of course.

I heard that before Madam Liu Hua was imprisoned in the Jilin Spatial Realm, she had forged a Grade 3 Sacred Tool. "Gu Qianxun said.

"A third-grade holy tool!" Han Li exclaimed in shock.

Sacred Tool was what the Demon Race called demonic tools. The classification of demonic tools continued the classification of immortal tools. Other than the Sky Bottle, which was an unknown existence, the most powerful treasures that Han Li had seen, the Heavenly Fox Blood Transformation Blade and Luozha's Pipa, were only Grade 3 Sacred Tools.

These two Sacred Tools gave him an unfathomable feeling. Even with his strength, he couldn't understand them.

This Madam Liu Hua actually forged an Immortal Tool that was on the same level as the Heavenly Fox Blood Transformation Blade and Luozha's Pipa?

This person's craftsmanship was indeed shocking.

"This person's Smithing Technique may be at the peak of perfection, but that's outside. Now that he's in the Scale Dimension, he can't use Devil Qi or Immortal Spiritual Energy. I'm afraid he can't even use 10% of his Smithing Technique." Han Li frowned and said.

"That is indeed the case. However, Madam Liuhua has researched on a method to use the power of the stars to replace demonic Qi or immortal spiritual energy. This method can be said to be unique." Gu Qianxun glanced at Han Li and said.

"Could it be that the restrictions formed by the power of the stars that I saw in Qingyang City were all created by Madam Liuhua?" Han Li's heart stirred.

"Not only that, but it's said that Madam Liuhua has also found a way to infuse the power of the stars into the weapons, allowing them to display power comparable to those holy artifacts outside.

However, the price required to forge such a weapon is extremely high and we do not have any hopes of obtaining it. "Gu Qianxun said regretfully.

When Han Li heard this, he thoughtfully nodded his head and remained silent.

"Let's go." Gu Qianxun said and walked forward.

The two of them arrived in front of the Yanyang Tower. The door was tightly shut and a wave of heat was emitted from within.

"This Yanyang Tower is said to be built on top of a volcano. Demonic Qi cannot be used in the Scale Dimension and can only be used to forge weapons with the power of earth fire." Gu Qianxun explained.

Han Li nodded silently and looked around.

The surroundings were quiet and there was not a single person in sight.

"Strange, if Madam Liuhua is a Smithing Master, why is this place so quiet?

Has no one come to ask for a weapon? "Han Li's expression changed as he asked.

"Madam Liuhua is the exclusive Smithing Master of Echu City and has a high status. Moreover, he doesn't like to be disturbed, so normally, no one would dare to ask for a weapon from him." Gu Qianxun said and knocked on the door.

After knocking for a while, someone finally responded. A short and fat young man with a head full of scars walked out.

"What can I do for you two?" The short and fat young man glanced impatiently at Han Li and Gu Qianxun and said lazily.

"We have long admired Madam Liuhua's reputation. Today, we specially came to ask for a meeting. Please pass on the message." Gu Qianxun cupped her hands and said.

Han Li also extended a respectful salute.

"Oh, you two came at a bad time. The Lord has been in seclusion for the past few days and will not see any guests. Please leave." The short and fat young man waved his hand and asked them to leave.

"When will Madam Liuhua come out?" Han Li frowned and asked.

"I don't know. The Lord has his reasons for going into seclusion. If it's short, he will come out in seven to eight years. If it's long, I'm afraid it will take more than a hundred years!" The short and fat young man said and was about to walk back into the tower.

"Little brother, please wait a moment. We are …" Gu Qianxun took a step forward and called out to the short and fat young man.

"Hmph, you really don't want face!

Do you know the identity of my Lord? How can anyone just ask to see him? Go, go! "The short and fat young man said impatiently.

"That's right. Two Xuan Gladiators of Qingyang City. They are just like slaves. How dare they ask to see Madam Liuhua. They really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

A mocking voice came from behind. A figure in a white robe slowly walked over. It was Feng Wuchen of Xuanzhi City who had a slight conflict with him in the main hall of the City Lord.

Behind him, there was a middle-aged man wearing the clothes of Xuanzhi City. He had a black face and a curly beard. His big eyes were shining, giving off a feeling of ferocity like a wild beast.

Han Li frowned slightly when he heard this, but he did not say anything.

Gu Qianxun, on the other hand, looked calm.

Feng Wuchen glanced at Han Li and Gu Qianxun. He went forward and nodded slightly to the short and fat Youth. He took out a golden visiting card and said, "I am Feng Wuchen. I am here to visit Madam Liuhua under the orders of my adoptive father, the City Lord of Xuanzhi City. This is the visiting card. Please pass on the message."

"So it is Fellow Feng. Please wait for a moment. I will pass on the message. However, it is up to the Lord to decide whether to see her or not."

The short and fat Youth took a look at the signature on the visiting card. His expression immediately changed into a flattering expression and said apologetically.

He was just a gatekeeper. He did not dare to take on everything.

"Of course." Feng Wuchen said with a smile. His expression was full of confidence.

The short and fat Youth nodded at Feng Wuchen again. He turned around and was about to enter.

"Fellow Feng, please wait a moment. I also have a token here. Please pass it on to me."

Gu Qianxun opened her mouth and stopped the short and fat Youth. She took out a white bone token. There was a crack on it and it seemed to be an ancient object.

Both sides of the token were engraved with runes that looked like flowing water. They were flashing with a faint white light.

Han Li saw this and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The short and fat Youth heard this and stopped in his tracks. He looked at Gu Qianxun's calm face. His heart shuddered and the contempt he had earlier disappeared. He looked at the bone token again and was about to accept it.

"A broken bone token. This is also a token. You are just trying to deceive people." Feng Wuchen glanced at it and sneered.

Although he knew that Gu Qianxun's strength was not weak, she was just a Xuan Gladiator of Qingyang City. Her status was low and he did not care about her at all.

The short and fat Youth heard this and could not help but stop in his tracks.

"You are the guard of this Yanyang Tower, right?

As a guard, you should do your job well. Don't think too much of yourself and overstep your duty. You may not be able to bear the consequences if you delay something important. "Gu Qianxun said lightly.

"You are right. Please wait here for a moment. I will report to the Lord." The short and fat Youth's expression changed. He took the token from Gu Qianxun and quickly entered the Yanyang Tower.

Feng Wuchen's face darkened and he snorted coldly. However, he did not make a move.

This was the residence of Madam Liuhua. He did not dare to be presumptuous.

Time passed by slowly. In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed. However, the short and fat Youth seemed to have disappeared and there was no trace of him.

Feng Wuchen's face revealed a trace of impatience.

At this moment, a series of footsteps came from inside and a figure flashed out. It was the short and fat Youth.

"I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting. The Lord was just doing his morning lesson and he does not like to be disturbed. That's why he dragged it until now. Please come in." The short and fat Youth lowered his head and said apologetically.

"It's alright. Madam Liuhua is very busy and I am just a junior. It's only right for me to wait for a while." Feng Wuchen smiled and was about to enter.

"Brother Feng, the Lord said that he has something important to do today and asked you to come back tomorrow.

The two brothers I am referring to are Brother Gu and Gu Qianxun. "

The short and fat Youth panicked and hurriedly reached out to stop Feng Wuchen. He did not dare to look at Feng Wuchen's face and lowered his eyes.

His heart was filled with regret and he wanted to slap himself. He was only focused on apologizing and did not make things clear. This misunderstanding had greatly offended Feng Wuchen.

"What did you say?" Feng Wuchen stopped in his tracks. His face suddenly flushed red and then turned green.

"Thank you for passing the message."

Gu Qianxun's expression was calm as though she had already expected this situation. She nodded to the short and fat Youth and walked inside.

Han Li's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise as he followed.

"Two brothers, please follow me," The short and fat Youth glanced at Feng Wuchen and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he still followed after Han Li and Gu Qianxun.

The door slowly closed, shutting Feng Wuchen and Gu Qianxun outside.

"Let's go!" Feng Wuchen's expression was extremely ugly as he turned around and walked far away.

The middle-aged man with the dragon beard had a strange look in his eyes as he followed behind Feng Wuchen. The two of them quickly disappeared into the distance.

…

Han Li and Gu Qianxun followed the short and fat Youth into the Yanyang Tower. After passing through a long corridor, they came to a spiral staircase.

"The Lord lives on the top floor of the Yanyang Tower. Two brothers, please follow me," the short and fat Youth said respectfully as he led the way.

Han Li and Gu Qianxun followed behind and walked up the staircase.

"Brother Gu, since you have that token, why did you say that Madam Liuhua is not easy to meet and drag me along with you?" Han Li's eyes flashed as he transmitted a message to Gu Qianxun.

"Please forgive me, Brother Li. That token was given to me by my mother. She said that I can meet Madam Liuhua if I use it.

I was not confident about it and thought that it would not be so smooth. That's why I dragged you along, "Gu Qianxun replied with a smile.

"Is that so …" Han Li frowned and said noncommittally.
