Duan Lin shook his head.
"No more?" Lei Zhen was quite disappointed.
Not only Lei Zhen, but Du Bushi also sighed.
If I understand correctly, the metal that Duan Lin mentioned transforming into a soul beast corresponds to Su Ming's spirit-forging metal. Studying this soul beast would be a huge help in perfecting Su Ming's spirit-forging technique.
"Did you forge this spiritual metal?"
Duan Lin looked at Su Ming and asked hesitantly.
There were elders present, but it was Su Ming who handed over the metal, so he could only think so.
"yes."
"It's true that every generation has its own talented people. Our Blacksmith Association hasn't forged spiritual metals in a long time. The last master craftsman was five hundred years ago."
Su Ming said: "These are all my works."
As he spoke, he directly displayed another eight pieces of spiritual metal.
"Um?"
Duan Lin was stunned.
He looked at the eight pieces of spiritual metal in Su Ming's hand, then looked at the spiritual metal in his own hand and swallowed.
"you"
He thought of a possibility.
"Can you forge ordinary metal into spiritual metal?"
He was full of hope when he said this.
He hoped Su Ming would give a positive answer.
If the material restrictions could really be eliminated, the status of blacksmiths would rise rapidly.
"Yes, I also further researched the spirit forging method on ordinary spiritual metals and successfully forged a spirit-forged metal with life. It is now with the teacher."
Su Ming looked at Du Bu Si.
Du Bu Si understood, raised his hand, and a piece of metal grew out of his hand.
"Hiss~"
Duan Lin looked at the metal in Du Bu Si's hand and took a breath.
The metal emerged directly from the soul master's body, which means it has already merged with the soul master's body.
No, it should be him!
"Your purpose of coming here this time is not to ask us for forging, right?" Duan Lin realized that Su Ming and others' purpose was not right.
If they were here to place an order, there would be no need to display spiritual metals and spiritual forging metals.
"We represent the Benti Sect and are preparing to cooperate with the Blacksmith Association. I wonder what President Duan thinks?" Su Ming said.
He came straight to the point without beating around the bush.
"How to cooperate?"
"The Blacksmith Association will be renamed the Forge Association. I will serve as the president of the association and will open up my spiritual metal forging technology to you. How do you do that?"
Duan Lin agreed immediately.
"good!"
The Body Sect is a large sect, and the only one in the entire continent that can afford to offend the Body Sect is Shrek Academy.
With such a big Buddha coming to him, Duan Lin chose to cooperate without any hesitation.
Failure to cooperate could be disastrous.
Of course, the most important thing is that Duan Lin coveted the method of forging spiritual metal.
Su Ming looked at the two elders, Lei Zhen and Bayi.
"In the future, these two elders will also serve as vice presidents. They are both Titled Douluo. With them in charge, the Blacksmith Association will be able to develop rapidly. Ideally, we should establish at least one branch in each of the three empires within three years."
Duan Lin's mouth twitched.
Is this the confidence of a powerful force?
Within three years, the association will be opened throughout Douluo Three Kingdoms.
If it were a normal business force, who would dare to say this?
Even with a Titled Douluo behind him, he dared not say that he could lead the forces under his control to connect three countries within three years.
But what Su Ming said was not impossible to accomplish. The Body Sect did not represent just one Titled Douluo, but a group of them. What was important was its deterrent power. In addition, it had a special product - spiritual metal.
If spiritual metals could be mass-produced, the Blacksmith Association would possess an absolute weapon.
"Although the two elders haven't mastered the method of forging spiritual metals, they are quite interested in forging. President Duan can discuss this with them when he has time."
Duan Lin smiled apologetically and said, "Of course, of course."
"In addition to the reforms to the association, I've also brought along equipment to explore rare metal veins. I hope the association can organize personnel to conduct surveys within the Xingluo Empire to see if any rare metal veins can be found."
"Rare metals?" Duan Lin was shocked.
Rare metal detection equipment is not something that Douluo Three Kingdoms should have.
"We are serious," Su Ming said solemnly, "The development of the Blacksmith Association is of vital importance to the Body Sect. President Duan must pay close attention to this."
"Duan Lin will definitely live up to your trust." Duan Lin also said seriously with a fist salute.
He also recognized the opportunity.
Su Ming did not leave immediately. He and Du Bu Si also witnessed the reform of the Blacksmith Association in Gengxin City.
All blacksmiths have been reclassified.
In today's era, there are soul masters, from one to nine levels, so Su Ming did not continue with the reforms he made during the Dou Yi period, but defined blacksmiths from one to nine levels.
"Level one and two blacksmiths are at the Hundred Forgings level, Level three and four are at the Thousand Forgings level. Those who master the forging of spiritual metals can be called masters, and Level five is a Spirit Forging Grandmaster."
"Level two is superior to level one in the processing of metal parts, and the same is true for level four compared to level three. So a level six blacksmith is also at the spiritual forging level, but he needs to master additional metal processing. Shaping was sufficient at levels two and four. Here, my idea is to fuse rare metals, combining multiple rare metals together to forge spiritual alloys."
Su Ming copied the answers and arranged them with ease.
"After fusion forging, we should consider breaking through to spirit forging. I feel that giving life is not enough. Just like soul beasts, there should be inheritance. The blacksmith's ability system should be passed on to the metal being forged through forging, giving it a soul. This can be called soul forging."
Three months later, Du Bu Si left and returned to the Benti Sect, where he began to organize the young disciples in the sect to join the Blacksmith Association.
After doing all this, he smuggled into the Sun and Moon Empire and went to the Su family.
After staying in Gengxin City for half a year, Su Ming finally received good news.
"Xingluo City is going to hold a medium-sized auction."
"Which auction house?"
Su Ming asked which auction house it was and got the answer from Duan Lin, "Starlight Auction House".
What I want is the auction at Starlight Auction House!
"How much longer?"
"Six months later."
"I'm going to this auction."
Su Ming estimated the time. Shrek Academy had only been open for more than four months, and the next semester would start more than half a year later. The auction would probably take place very close to the time Huo Yuhao sneaked out of the Duke's Mansion.
"First, go to Xingluo City and wait for the auction. Within the next three months, create a set of soul guides for surveillance. Start monitoring the roads outside the White Tiger Duke's Mansion a month before the auction. If the auction happens before you meet Huo Yuhao, then everything will be fine. If the auction happens too late, then just buy the Soul Devouring Carving Knife directly from the auction house. It doesn't matter if it costs a little more."
Having made up his mind, Su Ming began to forge in seclusion. In four days, he forged nine pieces of spiritual metal of the Thousand Forging Grade One level.
"President Duan, the association is ready. We still have about half a year to prepare. After the auction at the Starlight Auction House, the association will face challenges from the Xingluo Royal Family and other major forces."
Before leaving, Su Ming gave Duan Lin a reminder.
Duan Lin understood what Su Ming meant.
This auction will be an opportunity for spiritual metal to become famous in the continent.
Su Ming of Dou Er has a strong backstage, and his approach is simpler and more brutal than Su Ming of Dou Yi. He will directly display the spiritual metal at the auction and introduce it to the world of soul masters.
"Elder Lei Zhen, Elder Babi, I'm going to Xingluo City to scout the area first. I'll let you know when the auction begins."
