Elder Yi: I'll Help You!

Smuggling is something that no country can completely prohibit.

Therefore, if you can't prohibit it, you have to get involved, or at least get a general grasp of the data.

Rare Metal are the most valuable export commodity for the Sun Moon Empire. So, what resources from Douluo Three Kingdoms are worth the Sun Moon Empire's investment?

Good, medicinal herbs!

The Sun Moon Empire possesses numerous secret medicines, which have also depleted the original medicinal resources of the Sun Moon Continent by a much greater extent than those of the original Douluo Continent. Furthermore, the Sun Moon Empire is rich in Rare Metal, and with the development of the Soul Engineer system, it is actually not suitable for the growth of medicinal herbs. On the contrary, the Douluo Continent is rich in medicinal herbs.

Therefore, both sides actually have their own needs.

One must smuggle Rare Metal to develop their own Soul Tool, while the other must smuggle enough medicinal herbs to ensure that the cultivation of Soul Engineer within the country is not affected.

Smuggling carries risks, but having powerful backers makes it all worthwhile.

After Su Can advanced to the Rank 9 Soul Engineer, he planned to rely on the Mingde Hall.

With the Mingde Hall taking the blame, many subsequent matters became much easier to handle.

Su Ming is under a little bit of pressure.

The Su Family nominally smuggled Spiritual Metal from the Douluo Three Kingdoms, intending to lay the groundwork for Spiritual Metal in the Sun Moon Empire and establish a branch of the Blacksmith Association. However, the source of the Spiritual Metal was actually him.

While the Blacksmith Association is nominally supposed to cooperate with the Su Family Su Family to provide them with Spiritual Metal, in reality, it also has to take Spiritual Metal from the Su Family to support the Blacksmith Association's development in the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

This is all thanks to Su Ming alone.

Therefore, the Blacksmith Association should not expand too rapidly in its early stages.

Su Ming was glad that he wasn't taking big steps at the moment, and that his task for the Blacksmith Association was to open three branches within three years.

"Basically, producing twenty pieces of Spiritual Metal each year is enough, and they don't need to reach the level of the Thousand Forgings First Grade I use," Su Can comforted Su Ming. "The key now is to make you more composed when your identity is recognized during the Soul Fighting."

Su Ming nodded.

"Grandpa, remember to let me know when the Su Family has almost formed the basic structure of the association. I also need to set up a branch of the Body Sect."

"Your teacher already told me, don't worry, you won't be shortchanged as the sect Sect Master of your branch sect." Su Can chuckled, never expecting his Grandson to have such an obsession with becoming Sect Master.

Su Ming was speechless.

This is to complete the mission!

It's not that he wants to be the Sect Master!

"Grandpa, remember to recruit more people, otherwise the sect won't be able to operate here."

Su Can nodded with a smile.

"Don't worry, didn't your teacher say that Shrek has probably sent eight Soul Master with their Body Martial Soul here over the past ten years? I sent people to search before we went to the Jingyang Mountain Range, and we should be able to identify them all in about a month," Su Yun said from the side.

Su Ming was taken aback.

"So fast?"

The Twin Sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo were recommended to the Shrek Academy by the city lord of Heaven Dou City. Moreover, if they didn't go to Shrek, they would have to pay a penalty for breaching the recommendation letter. Du Busi personally came to their door and then learned the news.

According to the information he "got" from the city lord of Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy had recruited eight Soul Master with Body Martial Soul, but the parts of those Soul Master with Body Martial Soul were not very important; they were just faster at cultivating, so Xuan Zi gave them up.

These abandoned family members may have been sent to the Sun Moon Empire to serve as spies.

Su Ming hadn't expected the search to be so fast.

"It's not fast, considering that we don't have many Body Martial Soul to begin with. We already have five targets locked on, so I haven't made a move to avoid alerting them."

Su Ming accepted this explanation.

The Su Family has been searching for Body Martial Soul for many years, and may have already established an intelligence network. It is estimated that they have long been keeping an eye on those older Body Martial Soul Master.

They weren't sent to the Body Sect together before, probably because they had other plans.

Su Ming glanced at Su Can and noticed his grandfather's kind expression and determined look. He understood what his grandfather meant: this was to pave the way for him, leaving some of the found Body Martial Soul Master behind instead of letting Du Busi bring them to the Body Sect.

Su Ming was helpless.

this.

He's not good at brainwashing.

Su Ming wasn't confident he could successfully brainwash these mature Body Martial Soul Master who had already been brainwashed once by Shrek.

The atmosphere within the Body Sect is more suitable for brainwashing—no, for influencing family members.

"Looks like we'll have to ask the teachers for more manpower."

If the branch family is large enough, wouldn't it be easier for these family members to feel a sense of belonging?

Su Ming visited Su Can's research institute, then left to return to the academy for his normal cultivation.

He also wanted to cultivate here directly, enter the Mingde Hall, ignore trivial matters, and prepare for the Soul Fighting Tournament.

But reality doesn't allow it.

Su Ming from Dou Yi I is still in prison, which restricts his actions. He urgently needs a trustworthy Titled Douluo. The simplified version of the Two-word Battle Armor he is currently developing is just to bolster his confidence, not something he intends to reveal publicly.

"Evil Soul Master"

Su Ming gave a wry smile.

This is no easy task.

"Leaving aside the inherent danger of the Holy Spirit Cult, rumors also suggest that this force is connected to God King Tang. Trying to Faith of Evil Soul Master through the Holy Spirit Cult is far too difficult for me."

It's okay, though.

Su Ming twisted his needs somewhat, giving a plausible reason for needing to collect Faith related to Evil Soul Master, and then explained the "cause and effect" to Elder Yi in the Sea of Consciousness.

Electrolux listened to Su Ming's request and simply smiled calmly.

"Evil Soul Master? Sounds like they're within my control. Go ahead and investigate; I'll help you if anything goes wrong!"

"Thank you, Elder Yi."

Su Ming was overjoyed.

Electrolux, imbued with the Spirit Blade, recovers incredibly quickly; he's so fast he can guarantee such a feat.

It should be noted that when he first entered Su Ming's Sea of Consciousness, he was a Remnant Soul, on the verge of falling into a deep sleep. However, thanks to the Spirit Blade, he was able to block Tang San's methods multiple times and remain conscious.

Su Ming guessed that this was because he had not yet fully merged with the Spirit Blade.

Once he and the Spirit Blade are fully fused, it will likely be much slower for Electrolux to recover using the Spirit Blade.

"It's better to postpone the fusion node a bit. It's fine if I wait until Elder Yi recovers his own power and forms an internal cycle before fusing with the Spirit Blade. A slight reduction in Life won't matter."

Leave Mingde Hall.

Su Ming walked towards the college's cafeteria.

As he walked, he tried to talk to the students around him, gradually guiding them to learn about several prominent figures in the college.

Sword Maniac Ji Juechen, Lapdog Jing Ziyan, and Nana, whose Martial Soul is Ghost.

"Ji Juechen has cultivated his sword into a conceptual Martial Soul. I can learn a move from him; maybe it can help Teacher Mu Ye in Dou San solve the problem of his Soul Spirit being trapped by the Mecha and unable to break through."

Jing Ziyan is a freebie, so skip her.

"Nana's Martial Soul Ghost is similar to Ghost Douluo's from the Dou Yi era; it can also be considered a type of Body Martial Soul. By contacting her and rescuing her, we can simultaneously make contact with the Holy Spirit Cult."
