The Blacksmiths' Association in the Douluo II Era

The future can be changed.

Even if it causes a so-called cognitive conflict, making Su Ming's experience in Dou San somewhat illusory, it's worth trying, but not in such meaningless attempts.

"If I, Dou Yi, can mine Rare Metal using information provided by a Douyi user in Dou San, then forget about it."

Detecting Rare Metal Vein is time-consuming and a lengthy process.

However, the Douluo Continent at this time is still in an era of limited development.

While it may not be a land of gold, at least it won't be a case of putting in effort and getting nothing in return.

In the Dou Yi Su Ming could find mineral veins almost like he had a cheat code. Similarly, after finding several key mineral veins, he could have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect continue to help search the entire continent. The locations found could also be used as a reference for Dou Er Su Ming.

Therefore, this is equivalent to him having twice the exploration efficiency.

"Elders, this is my thought. I've inquired with Senior Sister Veena about the Blacksmith Association. It existed ten thousand years ago, flourished for a time due to the Tang Sect, then was abandoned and gradually declined. Now it's a power with a lower status but a wide membership. With the status of our Body Sect, we can completely control the Blacksmith Association."

"Controlling a subordinate power, especially one like the Blacksmith Association that can exist in a neutral capacity, is very important to us. We are limited in our expansion due to the restrictions on taking on disciples, but we can increase our influence by expanding our subordinate powers. At the same time, we can also better recruit disciples from all over the continent through our subordinate powers."

Su Ming's words resonated with the elders.

Recruiting disciples has always been one of the most troublesome things for the Body Sect.

To put it simply, when the Body Sect accepts disciples, the most crucial factor for their future success is indeed the position of their Body Martial Soul; the more important it is, the greater their potential. But what if this disciple is only discovered at the age of forty?

Equally important as the disciple's own Body Martial Soul is their age.

If someone joins the Body Sect immediately after awakening their Martial Soul, even if it's only a two-armed Martial Soul, the Body Sect has the confidence to cultivate them into Eight-Armed Demon.

Of course, it wasn't just the sect level that was suffering; the elders were also deeply troubled by this, because half of them didn't have any disciples...

Every time a talented disciple joins the sect and becomes an Du Busi master, they wish the Sect Master would die suddenly.

That's too much.

He always manages to be the first to snatch up a good disciple.

Only if more good disciples enter the sect at the same time will they have the opportunity to choose.

"If the elders have no objections, then I will take Su Ming to Gengxin City to investigate the situation." Du Busi's gaze swept over the elders present.

"Sect Master, I'll go with you. I can stay behind to guard the Association," an elder stepped forward and said.

Du Busi looked at the elder and nodded in agreement.

I'll go too.

Elder Lei Zhen raised his hand in acknowledgment.

"Very well, Eight Arms Elder and Elder Lei Zhen will come with me."

Du Busi; they understood the purpose of their trip.

Firstly, as they said, after reaching an agreement with the Blacksmith Association, they would stay and oversee the association.

Secondly, these two were the most enthusiastic among the sect elders about learning Forging techniques. Staying there would allow them to learn basic Forging methods and solidify their blacksmithing foundation.

After packing their bags, the four of them left Snow Demon Mountain.

Star Luo Empire.

Savage Beast Mountain Range.

"Xiao Ming, are you sure you'll get the Third Soul Ring Soul Ring from the Star Tree Spirit?" Du Busi said, "I think there are some good Soul Beast resources in this Savage Beast Mountain Range. You should break through to level 30 soon, and then I can take you Hunt Soul here."

Su Ming shook his head.

"Think it through. The biggest advantage of Soul Spirit to you is their ability to assist in Forging. Now you don't lack Soul Spirit anymore. You might be able to obtain a second or third Soul Ring by continuing to rely on Soul Spirit, but that's meaningless. You've already absorbed their cultivation, and the two Soul Ring you obtain later will only provide the basic level one."

Du Busi he tried to persuade Su Ming.

Given Su Ming's physique, which allows him to absorb knowledge beyond his current level, wasting the opportunity and continuing to rely on his past achievements would greatly limit his potential.

"Teacher, I will think it over carefully before integrating the Third Soul Ring," Su Ming said.

He couldn't directly tell Du Busi he wanted to reserve this position for now and see if he could obtain the million-year-old Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

In reality, he himself didn't have much motivation, because the opportunity was already slim. This was Huo Yuhao's core opportunity, and as long as Tang San was watching, he wouldn't let Su Ming succeed in interfering.

Moreover, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm can exchange memories, which is something Su Ming finds taboo.

Compared to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Electrolux is much more fragrant.

The key is that Electrolux is an outsider, and his appearance is most likely accidental; it's unlikely that Tang San could forcibly intercept him.

"Let's reserve the spot for the Third Soul Ring, even if it's just to give them a good reason to be present."

Gengxin City.

Looking at the dilapidated Metal Capital, Su Ming couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Even though blacksmiths had an extremely lowly status in the Dou Yi era, they were still glorious, and Gengxin City was magnificent.

The Gengxin City is now quite dilapidated.

"I really don't know what Gengxin City has gone through in these ten thousand years," Su Ming thought to himself.

Upon entering the city, you can immediately see the tallest building, with the Blacksmith Association plaque on it bearing the marks of time, having been patched and repaired countless times.

"The Blacksmith Association is in such a sorry state," Lei Zhen said.

It's supposed to be a professional association, yet it's fallen to this level.

"Find the association president first."

Fifth Floor of the Blacksmith Association.

When distinguished guests arrive, the president of the Blacksmith Association personally receives them.

"What brings you four to our Blacksmith Association? We have the finest blacksmiths in our Blacksmith Association, and we will do our utmost to meet your needs," Duan Lin said confidently.

"President Duan, please take a look at this piece of metal."

Su Ming stepped forward and took out a piece of Spiritual Metal that Thousand Forgings.

Duan Lin looked surprised as he took the metal Su Ming had taken out, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

"Is this Spiritual Metal?" Duan Lin murmured to himself as he admired the Spiritual Metal. "According to the association's records, metal is also Life. Heaven and earth nurture metal, and some special metals are on the verge of developing Spirituality. With the guidance of a blacksmith, they can help the metal transform, bringing out its Spirituality and Forging it into Spiritual Metal. And Spiritual Metal has the potential to continue to develop into Life form in a suitable environment, becoming Soul Beast."

"Life?"

The three who Du Busi were slightly surprised.

They knew about Su Ming's Spiritual Forging, which imbued metal with Life.

I didn't expect to get the same information from the Blacksmith Association.

Du Busi asked curiously, "Are there many of these Soul Beast?"

Duan Lin gave a wry smile and shook his head.

"Eleven thousand years ago, the first Divine Blacksmith had three works Spiritual Metal. One of them transformed into Soul Beast after five hundred years, but it was hunted down early. In the years that followed, the Divine Blacksmith in the association had a total of a hundred works Spiritual Metal, but unfortunately, only five of them had the opportunity to transform into Soul Beast."

Five dollars!

Su Ming was also slightly surprised.

That's quite a high probability.

Duan Lin smiled bitterly.

"The five metal Soul Beast were all found during the Tang Sect's peak period in various mortal realms that matched the Spiritual Metal. Even so, the shortest-lived metal Soul Beast took two thousand years to truly become Soul Beast."

Therefore, the first Divine Blacksmith's five-hundred-year-old Soul Beast is still considered an exception.

"Are all five metal Soul Beast still around?" Lei Zhen asked.
