First Draft of Heavenly Forging City

Xue Xing cursed inwardly for being hypocritical.

If Su Ming wanted to resolve this, why didn't he discuss it with me in the first place, instead of kicking me out all at once?

It must be because of Dugu Bo that this kid has the idea of repairing the relationship.

Snort!

With a cold snort in her heart, Xue Xing temporarily swallowed her previous hatred.

Out of respect for Dugu Bo, let's have a talk for now and see if this kid is willing to negotiate and how he plans to resolve the current problem.

Although he was already considering whether there was any possibility of negotiation, he still wouldn't mince words.

"So, you've come to me this time hoping I can help your association solve a problem?"

"This really requires Your Highness's help." Su Ming cupped his hands in a gesture of seeking a favor.

Seeing Su Ming's attitude, Dugu Bo, who was watching from the side, nodded inwardly.

Su Ming really gave him face.

He had also heard about Su Ming kicking Xue Xing out earlier, and now Su Ming's attitude had changed so drastically. Who was behind this?

Isn't it Dugu Bo?

Look, this is the face of a dignified Poison Douluo.

Xue Xing noticed the change in Dugu Bo's expression and knew that even if she could suppress Su Ming at this moment, she would still suppress this thought and asked in a low voice, "What can I do?"

"Release them."

"Release them?"

"I've heard that Brother Xue is planning to send troops to attack the Balak Kingdom?"

"Yes."

"As long as His Highness doesn't interfere, that's fine."

"Are you going to interfere in Heaven Dou's internal affairs?" Xue Xing said coldly.

"How long can Your Highness stop Xue Qinghe?" Su Ming didn't simply offer Xue Xing a way out; instead, his gaze was intense as he stared at Xue Xing, pressing for an answer, "Forging techniques are constantly evolving. ' Thousand Forgings with Spirit' is a bottleneck; once you break through, the path opens up. It changes daily, and its impact on the Soul Master World is becoming increasingly severe. The Suotuo City Blacksmith Association is located in the Balak Kingdom. It's an inevitable trend for the Heaven Dou Royal Family to strengthen its control over the Balak Kingdom. Does Your Highness really think you can stop it?"

Yes, Xue Qinghe deserves credit for controlling the Balak Kingdom, but if this drags on, the Heaven Dou Empire will suffer the most damage.

Xue Qinghe's reason for sending troops was lame: a dispute between Dai Weisi and the local forces of Suotuo City. But even a trivial matter was acceptable as an excuse.

Xue Xing fell silent.

He wanted to question Su Ming about his confidence in claiming that Forging techniques could influence the entire Soul Master World.

However, he glanced at Dugu Bo but didn't say anything.

He hadn't figured out the reason this person joined the Blacksmith Association before, but now he had a guess.

"Your Highness, only by allowing Xue Qinghe to send troops will the Star Luo Royal Family's demands be on par with yours, at which point I will offer a reasonable solution."

What plan?

Xue Xing stared intently at Su Ming, as if to say, "If you don't tell me the plan, I won't cooperate unless I'm sure it's good for me."

Su Ming pondered for a moment, then glanced at Dugu Bo.

The meaning is obvious.

I'm telling you this plan out of respect for Dugu Bo.

"A Heavenly Forging City will be established on the border between the two countries. The Headquarters the Blacksmith Association will be located in Heavenly Forging City. At the same time, the personnel of both associations will be re-concentrated in Heavenly Forging City. Before the number of Blacksmith reaches a certain scale, the Blacksmith Association will not split again. The branches in Suotuo City and Gengxin City will serve as transit cities for cooperation between the association and the two great empires. I wonder what Your Highness thinks?"

how?

Not good!

Xue Xing cursed inwardly, thinking, "They're trying to take a piece of flesh from the two great empires!"

Moreover, this development model is all too familiar; isn't it just the Spirit Hall establishing Spirit City?

Nothing new!

But Xue Xing found herself unable to refuse the offer.

Seeing Xue Xing's pale face and silence, Su Ming gently reminded him.

"After all, it's the Balak Kingdom that's providing the land. What is Your Highness hesitating about?"

Xue Xing roared inwardly.

The Balak Kingdom is also part of the Heaven Dou Empire!

However, he had to admit that the Balak Kingdom was now semi-independent, and the overall plan that Su Ming mentioned was good for the Heaven Dou Empire.

The key lies in Su Ming's little trick just now.

Su Ming was only able to reveal this information because of Dugu Bo's influence.

Did Su Ming suffer a loss?

No.

Because Xue Xing could no longer stop Su Ming from building the city.

Otherwise, he would turn around and refuse to give Dugu Bo any face.

Human relationships can be depleted, and Xue Xing was well aware of this.

At this moment, Su Ming seemed to be deliberately setting a trap, provoking Xue Xing, and slowly trying to win over Dugu Bo's favor.

What wonderful tea!

Xue Xing couldn't even tell whether Su Ming was there to solve the problem or to sow discord between Dugu Bo and someone else, intending to gradually take Dugu Bo away from her.

Taking a deep breath and going over the situation again, Xue Xing finally agreed to Su Ming's "request".

"I will no longer obstruct Xue Qinghe's military campaign; I hope you will take action as soon as possible."

"Your Highness, please rest assured."

Su Ming looked at Dugu Bo, indicating that he had finished talking with the other party.

Dugu Bo coughed twice, said a few words briefly, and then left with Su Ming.

Prince Xue Xing watched Su Ming's departing figure and snorted coldly.

"Such grand ambitions! Aren't you afraid of overeating yourself!"

Before leaving Gengxin City, Su Ming pulled Dugu Bo back to the association and called Zhu Jiuyang over.

He used the Faith Power of Evil Soul Master to help Zhu Jiuyang deceive his soul, allowing him to increase his Soul Power even faster in the following year.

After granting him access, Zhu Jiuyang's Soul Power growth will not be slow; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it will double.

However, Su Ming still asked Dugu Bo for a prescription that could accelerate his Soul Power cultivation.

"You brat, you haven't even done the job for me yet, but you've already taken quite a few things from me."

After leaving the association, Dugu Bo complained to Su Ming.

"Hehe, that's called timely fulfillment. As for the development of Spiritual Forging technology, please rest assured, senior. I am confident in my Forging skills."

"You kid, you've probably already undergone Spiritual Forging, haven't you?"

"No, it's just lacking some stimulation. When you mentioned the spiritual land, I felt it could work. Before, I only Forging in seclusion within the association and hadn't considered the Forging environment. Now, following you to that valley, with your blessed land, my Spiritual Forging will surely succeed."

Dugu Bo's originally stern face softened a bit.

Although Su Ming was praising his own Forging talent, his words also contained a lot of flattery, which made him very pleased.

The Grandmaster Craftsman who pioneered the Forging system—it was only after my Dugu Bo, that he found the inspiration!

One month later.

Sunset Forest.

After passing through layers of poisonous miasma, Su Ming felt a sudden sense of openness. Ahead, a valley shone with a dazzling light, making the entire valley look like a paradise.

The valley is filled with boundless Life Essence, making people feel relaxed and comfortable.

"Be careful, the Life Essence here is mixed with the Ice and Fire Power, which will constantly put a burden on your body," Dugu Bo warned.
