Dugu Bo's Frankness

Holding the Thousand Forgings Nether Iron in his palm and carefully feeling it, Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes.

His emerald-like eyes were fixed on Su Ming.

"How many pieces of this Thousand Forgings Nether Iron do you have left? I'll take them all!"

Seeing this, Zhu Jiuyang spoke up, signaling Dugu Bo to calm down.

"Senior, we also need to conduct our research, so it's impossible for us to hand over all the Nether Iron to you."

Upon hearing Zhu Jiuyang's words, Dugu Bo calmed down.

The main problem is that the Thousand Forgings Nether Iron in his possession is only Spiritual Metal, not Spiritual Alloy, and therefore cannot be integrated into Soul Master's body.

Even so, he was certain that this piece of Nether Iron was enough to help Dugu Yan at this stage and slow down the rate of Dugu Yan poisoning.

If this Nether Iron could be integrated into Dugu Yan's body, resonating with her Martial Soul at all times, it might even directly amplify her Martial Soul, allowing her to suppress the spread of the poison with the power of her Martial Soul.

Although Su Ming did not have the data on Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, he could roughly guess Dugu Bo's judgment at this moment.

No Soul Master with the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul were born during the Dou Er Dou San era, but it was no longer the Dugu Family, but the Zheng Family. Zheng Yiran, with the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, was able to break through the encirclement and enter the list of young geniuses in the environment of the Dou San era.

The reason for this transformation is naturally the Forging system.

After the emergence of Spiritual Alloy and Spirit Forged Metal, the Soul Master of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent lineage gradually optimized their martial Martial Soul. The toxins accumulated through heredity were cleansed time and time again, and the strength of their Martial Soul was steadily improved. In the end, their bloodline evolved from Jade Phosphorous Serpent to Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, which can be stably passed down.

Even if the disadvantages of the Martial Soul persist in the later stages of cultivation, one can still address the drawbacks of the Martial Soul's poison corroding the Soul Master through the design of the Battle Armor.

The Nether Iron is the key to the Zheng Family's solution to their Martial Soul problem. The Zheng Family even controls a Rare Metal Vein, whose main Rare Metal is the Nether Iron!

This is also why Su Ming recommended the Nether Iron.

Dugu Bo closed his eyes and fell into thought.

Nether Iron is extremely rare.

However, the Spiritual Metal Forging from this Rare Metal is exceptionally important to the Dugu Family.

Therefore, we must find a way to obtain more Nether Iron.

Only in this way can the subsequent development of the Spiritual Alloy get on the right track.

"Shouldn't the Blacksmith Association possess the technology to locate and mine Rare Metal Vein?"

"I have some experience."

"If I'm not mistaken, your mining progress is very slow. Even with cooperation from the two great empires, the search speed hasn't increased."

"Good."

"I can join the Blacksmith Association and serve as an honorary elder. Would you dare to expedite the search?"

Su Ming was "surprised," and he and Zhu Jiuyang exchanged a glance, both revealing a look of delight.

Is what you said true, senior?

"I have always kept my word. Do you not trust me?" Dugu Bo said arrogantly, "My joining the Blacksmith Association is more intimidating than any Titled Douluo. You may search the entire continent for mineral veins. Anyone who dares to obstruct me will be personally visited by me."

When Dugu Bo said that, he was genuinely confident.

Su Ming and Zhu Jiuyang nodded hurriedly.

Letter!

"Your power and influence are so great that even the Spirit Hall has to be wary of you," Su Ming flattered.

Dugu Bo was very pleased.

He crossed his arms over his chest and asked, "Then I am now considered an honorary elder of the association?"

Neither Su Ming nor Zhu Jiuyang refuted this.

They certainly wouldn't refuse a Titled Douluo, especially one with the formidable power of Poison Douluo.

"So, what's the latest level of Forging technology in the association?"

Dugu Bo stared intently at Su Ming.

He's not stupid.

The Blacksmith Association certainly won't reveal its most advanced technologies to the public.

Seeing Su Ming's surprised expression, Dugu Bo revealed a disdainful look.

When I was living on the mainland, you were all still playing in the mud somewhere.

"Well, Spiritual Alloy, but they were developed accidentally because the materials are too limited to be mass-produced."

Su Ming then took out two more Spiritual Alloy that were useless against Dugu Bo.

After speaking, he hesitated for a moment, but still told Dugu Bo about the existence of the Spiritual Forging.

However, he did not say that Spiritual Forging had been successfully developed; instead, he explained the theory behind Spiritual Forging.

"You mean, beyond the Thousand Forgings with Spirit, there's not only the Spiritual Alloy method to enhance its effects, but it can also go a step further and upgrade the Thousand Forgings Metal to Spiritual Forging?"

"Yes, and according to our deductions, Spirit Forged Metal also has the characteristic of integrating into Soul Master's body."

Dugu Bo burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

He said "okay" three times, and then began to think about how to help the two develop Spiritual Forging.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

"I possess a sacred site that might be useful for your Forging, but I'm not certain about its specific effects."

Upon hearing this, Su Ming's heart began to pound violently.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes!

He knew from Dugu Bo of the spiritual land that the other party was referring to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.

He never expected that the reason of developing Spiritual Forging would make Dugu Bo reveal the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.

But after thinking about it, he realized it all made perfect sense.

In Dugu Bo's eyes Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes was just a medicinal garden. Its greatest use to him was to suppress toxins and cultivate rare medicinal herbs. He didn't understand the effects of those Immortal Herb.

Su Ming was very excited, but he couldn't show his excitement directly. He could only first reveal a complex expression of wariness and a desire to try.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo expressed his understanding of Su Ming's complex emotions. After considering it, he forced out a stream of Ice and Fire Power from his body. At the same time, his Soul Power was also disrupted for a moment.

"I have some remaining power here. You can sense it and see if it can help with your Forging."

Both Su Ming and Zhu Jiuyang were forced to retreat by the Ice and Fire Power.

"Such pure Ice and Fire Power!"

Zhu Jiuyang stared in shock at the Ice and Fire Power Dugu Bo had restrained in his palm.

The pure Fire Element power within it is no less than the Sacred Fire he wields, not to mention that he has also harmonized it with the corresponding level of ice elemental power, forming an intertwined Ice and Fire Power!

Su Ming was truly shocked at this moment.

Seeing is believing.

Only after truly witnessing the Ice and Fire Power did he realize how naive all his fantasies had been.

"This is still the Ice and Fire Power accumulated within Dugu Bo's body. It's hard to imagine what the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes would be like if it were filled with this Ice and Fire Power."

"How is it? Can this Ice and Fire Power be incorporated into the Forging?"

"Can!"

Su Ming and Zhu Jiuyang spoke in unison.

The two exchanged a glance, and Su Ming spoke up, "I am willing to go to the spiritual land you mentioned, senior, and try my hand at Spiritual Forging."

"Alright!" Dugu Bo patted his chest and assured him, "I will ensure your safety."
