The Starlight Auction

Duan Lin shook his head.

"That's it?" Lei Zhen was quite disappointed.

Not only Lei Zhen, Du Busi also sighed.

If there are no problems understanding, the metal that Duan Lin mentioned transformed into Soul Beast corresponds to Su Ming's Spirit Forged Metal. If Su Ming could study this kind of Soul Beast, it would be of great help in perfecting his Spiritual Forging technique.

"Did you Forging this Spiritual Metal?"

Duan Lin looked at Su Ming, hesitated, and then asked the question.

There were elders present, but it was Su Ming who handed over the piece of metal, so that was all he could think of.

"Yes."

"Truly, new talents emerge in every generation. Our Blacksmith Association hasn't Forging Spiritual Metal in a long time. The last Divine Blacksmith was five hundred years ago."

Su Ming said, "These are all my works."

As he spoke, he directly displayed eight other pieces of Spiritual Metal.

"Um?"

Duan Lin was stunned.

He looked at the eight pieces of Spiritual Metal in Su Ming's hand, then at the Spiritual Metal in his own hand, and swallowed hard.

"You..."

He considered a possibility.

"Can you Forging Ordinary Metal into Spiritual Metal?"

He spoke those words with great hope.

He hoped Su Ming would give a positive answer.

If the limitations of materials could truly be overcome, then the blacksmith's status would rise rapidly.

"Yes, I've further researched the Spirit Forging Method on ordinary Spiritual Metal and successfully Forging a Spirit Forged Metal with Life of its own, which is now with my teacher."

Su Ming looked at Du Busi.

Du Busi understood, raised his hand, and a piece of metal grew directly from it.

"Hiss~"

Duan Lin stared at the metal in Du Busi's hand and gasped.

The metal emerged directly from the Soul Master's body, meaning it had already fused with the Soul Master's body.

No, it should be him!

"Your purpose in coming here this time isn't to have us Forging, is it?" Duan Lin realized that Su Ming and the others' purpose was not right.

If they're here to place an order, there's no need to display Spiritual Metal and Spirit Forged Metal.

"We represent the Body Sect and are preparing to cooperate with the Blacksmith Association. I wonder what President Duan thinks?" Su Ming asked.

He got straight to the point, without beating around the bush.

How can we cooperate?

"The Blacksmith Association will be renamed the Blacksmith Association, and I will serve as its president. The techniques for Forging Spiritual Metal will be made available to you. What do you say?"

Duan Lin readily agreed.

"Good!"

The Body Sect is a major sect; the only one on the entire continent that can afford to offend the Body Sect is Shrek Academy.

When such a powerful figure came knocking on his door, Duan Lin didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately chose to cooperate.

Non-cooperation could be disastrous.

Of course, the main reason was that Duan Lin coveted the Forging method of Spiritual Metal.

Su Ming looked at Elders Lei Zhen and Eight Arms.

"From now on, these two elders will also serve as vice presidents. They are both Titled Douluo. With them in charge, the Blacksmith Association can develop rapidly. Ideally, it should establish at least one branch in each of the Three Great Empires within three years."

Duan Lin's lips twitched.

Is this the source of the confidence of powerful forces?

Within three years, the association will be established throughout the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Who in a normal business setting would dare to say that?

Even with a Titled Douluo behind them, no one would dare claim they could control three countries within three years.

However, what Su Ming said was not impossible. The Body Sect represents not just one Titled Douluo, but a group. What is important is its deterrent power. In addition, there is a special product - Spiritual Metal.

If they could produce Spiritual Metal, the Blacksmith Association would possess an absolute weapon.

"Although the two elders haven't mastered the Forging techniques for Spiritual Metal, they are quite interested in Forging. President Duan, you can exchange ideas with them when you have time."

Duan Lin smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Definitely, definitely."

"In addition to the association's reforms, I've also brought Rare Metal Vein exploration equipment. I hope the association can organize a team to conduct surveys within the Star Luo Empire to see if any Rare Metal Vein can be found."

"Rare Metal?" Duan Lin was shocked.

Equipment for detecting Rare Metal —that's not something you'd find in Douluo Three Kingdoms.

"We're serious," Su Ming said solemnly. "The development of the Blacksmith Association is crucial to the Body Sect, so President Duan must take it to heart."

"Duan Lin will certainly live up to your expectations," Duan Lin said solemnly, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

He also recognized the opportunity.

Su Ming did not leave immediately; he and Du Busi also witnessed the reforms of the Blacksmith Association in Gengxin City.

All Blacksmith have been reclassified.

In this era, there are Soul Engineer, ranging from Level 9. Therefore, Su Ming did not use the reforms he implemented in Dou Yi, but instead defined Blacksmith based on Level 9.

"Level one and two Blacksmith are at the Hundred Forgings level, levels three and Level 4 are at the Thousand Forgings level. To master the Forging of Spiritual Metal, one can be called Grandmaster, and level five is the Spirit Forging Grandmaster."

"The difference between level two and level one lies in the handling of metal parts, and the same applies to Level 4 compared to level three. Therefore, Level 6 Blacksmith are also at the Spiritual Forging level, but they need to master additional metal handling. Plasticity is already sufficient at levels two and Level 4. My idea here is to fuse Rare Metal, combining multiple Rare Metal together to Forging Spiritual Alloy."

Su Ming copied the answers and arranged them with ease.

"After Fusion Forging, the next step is to consider breaking through to Spiritual Forging. I feel that giving it Life is not enough. Just like Soul Beast, it should have inheritance, passing on the Blacksmith's ability system to the metal being Forging through Forging, giving it a soul. This can be called Soul Forging."

Three months later, Du Busi left and returned to the Body Sect, where he began organizing the sect's young disciples to go to the Blacksmith Association.

After doing all this, he smuggled himself into the Sun Moon Empire and went to the Su Family.

After spending a full six months in Gengxin City, Su Ming finally received some good news.

"Star Luo City is going to hold a medium-sized Auction."

Which auction house?

Su Ming asked which auction house it was, and Duan Lin answered that it was "Starlight Auction House".

That's exactly what I want – an auction from Starlight Auction House!

I'm going to attend this Auction.

Upon learning that Su Ming was going to participate in the Starlight Auction, Lei Zhen and Eight Arms also prepared to help.

"Then I'll have to trouble you two elders."

Su Ming did not refuse.

"President Duan, when Auction begin?"

Five days.

"Good."

Su Ming went into seclusion to Forging, and in four days Forging nine pieces of Spiritual Metal of the Thousand Forgings First Grade level.

"President Duan, the association is prepared to meet the challenges from the Star Luo Royal Family and other major powers."

Before leaving, Su Ming gave Duan Lin a reminder.

Duan Lin Su Ming's meaning.

This Auction could be the key to Spiritual Metal famous throughout the continent.

Su Ming of Dou Er has a powerful backer, and his approach is simpler and more direct than Dou Yi Su Ming: he will directly Spiritual Metal into the sight of the Soul Master World at the Auction.

"Elder Lei Zhen, Eight Arms Elder, let's go!"
