Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 148: The name of the unified power of the travelers in Douluo World
The bidding outside was still going on. Chen Ming paid attention to the auction items while communicating with Lou Gao about his views on the development of blacksmiths.

Although most of Chen Ming's views seemed a bit too fantastic to Lou Gao, and not something a blacksmith could achieve.

But since Chen Ming had inspired the spirituality of metal with his bare hands in front of him, in Lou Gao's eyes, Chen Ming's words must be right. He couldn't understand it because his understanding was too low and his aptitude was too poor.

Although he is nearly eighty years old, he is still like the apprentice under his teacher. He sits obediently in front of Chen Ming and listens to some of Chen Ming's insights and guesses. He writes down all of Chen Ming's words in a small notebook as if they were imperial edicts.

Through communication with Lou Gao, Chen Ming can now understand Lou Gao's technical level.

More than a thousand times of forging, but not yet full of spiritual forging.

In other words, if Lou Gao is willing, with his current technology, he can completely forge the metal to the level of ten thousand forgings.

However, after the thousand forgings level, if you continue to forge the metal multiple times without stimulating the metal's spirituality, it will not only be difficult to increase the metal's strength, but various problems will gradually appear inside the metal as the number of forgings increases.

In terms of skills, Lou Gao has reached the pinnacle, but the only thing he lacks is the understanding of the meaning.

Chen Ming asked about the two master craftsmen, Tang Hao and Titan, but after Lou Gao was silent, he gave an unexpected but reasonable answer.

"The Clear Sky Clan was born with a talent for forging. The Clear Sky Hammer Martial Spirit can be considered the most perfect forging hammer. Thousands of years ago, they also made their fortune by forging."

"But later, after Haotian Sect became a sect, it quickly cut ties with the profession of blacksmith. It never set foot in the blacksmith industry again."

"More than a hundred years ago, a Lu Di Wu Di appeared in the Haotian Sect. This Lu Di Wu Di was not opposed to the technology of forging. On the contrary, he was also a blacksmith. Because of the influence of this Lu Di Wu Di, the Haotian Sect gradually became associated with blacksmiths. But they definitely did not really become blacksmiths."

"Among the three great master craftsmen, Tang Hao has reached the highest level of skill, mostly due to the improvement in power generation of the Haotian Nine Absolutes of the Haotian Sect and the advantages of the Haotian Hammer itself in forging. In fact, his realm is far from reaching the level of a master craftsman, and he is only considered one of the three great master craftsmen to give face to the Haotian Sect."

"The old guy Titan's skills and realm have reached the standards of a master craftsman, but I gave up further progress after becoming a master craftsman. My skills are exactly the same as when I first became a master craftsman decades ago. It's not an exaggeration to say that I have slightly regressed."

"."

"I'm not bragging. Although we are both master craftsmen, there are still differences in forging. Tang Hao and Tai Tan only stepped into the realm of master craftsmanship and gave up moving forward. But I have been developing in a further direction over the past few decades. Both my skills and realm are higher than those two."

"If there is someone in this era who can continue to make further progress in the current blacksmith system, even if that person is not me, it cannot be Tang Hao and Tai Tan. Because the two of them have stopped growing for a long time."

Chen Ming thought about it and it seemed that what Lou Gao said was indeed correct.

Tang Hao was a proud and arrogant person. He looked down on other blacksmiths, even the master blacksmiths of the time. He had been pursuing higher spirit power all his life. He was already a master blacksmith by virtue of his talent. It was impossible for him to give up the pursuit of spirit power and delve into the art of forging.

Although Titan and the Power Clan make a living as blacksmiths, Titan himself does not seem to have much talent in the original work. Although he is a master blacksmith, he does not have that kind of super-standard technology nor that kind of fanatical mentality. Although he does not look down on blacksmiths, Titan himself and the Power Clan must also regard themselves as soul masters and soul master families. Blacksmithing is just a means of making a living for them. If there are other ways to make money than blacksmithing, they certainly don't mind giving up the family blacksmithing skills.

Such a person can be considered passing, but he certainly cannot be considered excellent.

Chen Ming gave the golden ball to Lou Gao, hoping that it would be used as a deposit, so that Lou Gao could teach him forging techniques and help him with his future research. However, Lou Gao was not happy after hearing this.

"Senior Chen, you are embarrassing me, aren't you? The so-called master blacksmith is just a mortal trapped in a spiritual barrier, and it is difficult for him to cross it in his entire life. But you are born with the crucial inspiration. With the spiritual power you have shown, even under the guidance of an ordinary blacksmith, you will definitely be able to cross the realm of a master blacksmith in the future."

"I, Lou Gao, dare not say that I will teach you. I can only offer you all my skills, experience, and insights. I only hope that when Senior Chen has researched a higher level of blacksmithing, you can let this mortal see it."

Having said that, Lou Gao calmed his chest a little and forced a somewhat flattering smile on his old face.

"Senior Chen, do you have any power? Or do you have any idea of forming a power? If possible, can you let an old man like me join in and do my part?"

Lou Gao is a tough guy. Even if someone puts a knife to his neck and forces him to join a certain faction, he won't even blink. As one of the three great craftsmen of the time, he has his own character.

But when it comes to higher-level forging technology, it's a different story. Even if Lou Gao is not informed, he will try his best to get in after knowing it.

Although he knew that his active desire to join other people's forces would make his position passive and embarrassing, Lou Gao still couldn't give up. He couldn't let such an opportunity slip away from him. Even if it was just a possibility, he couldn't let it slip away.

"Build a faction?" Chen Ming didn't expect that Lou Gao would ask him this question at this time. But after thinking about it carefully, Chen Ming felt that it seemed possible.

Once the blacksmith system is perfected, it will greatly enhance the soul masters. It can be said that it will benefit future generations. The more the soul masters develop, the more they will rely on the assistance of this system.

If I could lead my forces to perfect the blacksmith system and create the most basic battle armor and the like, and spread it across the continent in the future, I would also be able to gain a lot of power of faith.

Chen Ming thought for a moment and decided on a name for the force.

"My power will be called Soul Palace. It is based on soul masters, develops the future, creates miracles that belong to humans, and finally reaches the palace of the sacred realm."

Of course, this was only a superficial reason. The real reason was that it was common sense in the new era for travelers to build soul palaces in the Douluo World.

"Master Lou, would you like to join the Soul Palace and become an elder?"
