Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 214: Goodbye Lou Gao, Forged Things (Second Update)
Chen Ming moved at high speed for a day and a night, then found a forest, took out the dying Blue Silver Emperor from a special storage soul guide, fed it a mouthful of vitality and soul power, and then put it back.

After going through this several times, Chen Ming arrived at Gengxin City, the capital of blacksmiths in Douluo Continent. In a shop of the Blacksmith Association, he showed the token and secret code agreed upon between him and Lou Gao.

After confirming that Chen Ming was the person the president had been waiting for, the blacksmith in charge of the shop immediately went to the top floor of the association to inform the president.

Not long after, Lou Gao came slowly down from upstairs with a few disciples.

It's not that Lou Gao wants to walk slowly, but his body no longer allows him to walk fast. Now he even needs the support of others to move.

Although it was only about a year since he last left, Lou Gao's body seemed to have aged by dozens of years. Not only did his face have more wrinkles, his body became weaker, and even the fire of life that had already begun to slowly shrink had shrunk a lot, and his entire body seemed to have burned out.

You know, the last time we met, Lou Gao was still an old man in very strong health due to years of working as a blacksmith.

When Lou Gao just appeared on this floor, Chen Ming's mental power sensed Lou Gao's condition. Although he didn't know what was going on, Chen Ming still walked towards Lou Gao quickly and stopped Lou Gao from saluting him.

After approaching Lou Gao, Chen Ming discovered that although Lou Gao's body had aged as if he were several dozen years older, his eyes were much brighter than the last time they met. His old and broken body could no longer hide his breakthrough mental power.

Although he didn't sense it carefully, Chen Ming was able to roughly understand Lou Gao's mental state.

To make a horizontal comparison, if Lou Gao's mental power a year ago was just at the level of a normal Soul Douluo, then his mental power now has undoubtedly reached the level of a Titled Douluo. It is already comparable to a Level 91 Titled Douluo who is not very good at mental power.

Moreover, Chen Ming could sense something strange in the spiritual power leaking out from the high building.
That is a state of mind that only Super Douluo can comprehend.

Obviously, in the year or so that Chen Ming and Lou Gao were separated, Lou Gao made great progress as a blacksmith. Although it consumed a lot of his vitality, causing his body to become old and fragile, his mental strength was greatly sublimated and enhanced.

If it weren't for the fact that Lou Gao's physique was really too poor and his talent in soul power was average, all these reasons combined would have resulted in his soul power being unable to increase even if his mental power had broken through.

Otherwise, if Lou Gao was a Soul Sage in normal condition, with his current spiritual realm, Chen Ming could announce that Douluo Continent would have one more Titled Douluo.

The appearance of Lou Gao, the guild president, on this floor caused quite a stir. Many blacksmiths who were originally selling goods came over and saluted Lou Gao. Some people who came to buy things also gathered near Lou Gao and surrounded this master craftsman.

Lou Gao winked at the disciple beside him, and a strong-looking middle-aged man came forward to greet the crowd, creating an opportunity for the others to take Lou Gao and Chen Ming away.

To be honest, this might not have worked well a year ago. But now Lou Gao's decline is something that everyone can see. In the eyes of these people, this disciple whose name is unknown is basically equivalent to the next generation president of the Blacksmith Association.

So, except for a few blacksmiths who really had a good relationship with Lou Gao and asked questions about Lou Gao's condition, most of the attention of the rest of the people was transferred to the disciple who stood up. Ten minutes later, Chen Ming and Lou Gao appeared in Lou Gao's exclusive forging room on the fifth floor. All the disciples who were originally accompanying Lou Gao were ordered by Lou Gao to guard outside the door. Only Chen Ming and the aging Lou Gao were left in the forging room.

Looking at Chen Ming, Lou Gao summoned his martial spirit.

This was not because he wanted to fight with Chen Ming, but simply because in his current condition, if he simply used soul power to strengthen his body, it would not be enough.

Seven soul rings of yellow, purple, black and black appeared beside Lou Gao. With the appearance of his martial soul Vajra Chisel, Lou Gao was finally able to move like a normal old man.

Looking at Chen Ming, Lou Gao bent down and was about to salute Chen Ming, but Chen Ming quickly stopped him with his hand.

"Palace Master, this old man..."

"Elder Lou, there is no need to be so polite. Given your current physical condition, all this etiquette is completely unnecessary. You should pay more attention to your health."

Although he could inject vitality into Lou Gao and restore his old, rotten-wood-like body to a certain extent, Chen Ming still only injected some of his own high-quality soul power into Lou Gao to alleviate his condition.

"Palace Master... Hey, this old man is really..."

After getting support from Chen Ming, Lou Gao's eyes were filled with tears, and there was a bit more fanaticism in the look he gave Chen Ming.

Through the pseudo-demigodity in the sea of spirit, Chen Ming could feel that Lou Gao was conveying the power of his faith in himself, and that he was extremely devout to himself.

Because there were too few believers (only one), Chen Ming had no way to classify the believers, and he could not classify them into different levels like in Western fantasy novels. However, just by feeling the power of faith in Lou Gao, Chen Ming felt that Lou Gao was at least a devout believer.

Lou Gao barely moved his body and guided Chen Ming to a stone wall. The stone wall had a metallic texture as a whole and seemed to be absorbing and releasing soul power at an extremely small amplitude. However, Chen Ming did not find anything unusual when he scanned it with his mental power.

Under Chen Ming's gaze, Lou Gao stretched out his hand and knocked on the stone wall, and the stone wall immediately changed.

The uneven surface with a slight rocky texture immediately began to shrink, gathering into a small ball like water, and then fell into Lou Gao's hand. The original yellowish-brown camouflage color gradually faded and turned into a light silver.

During the transformation of this metal, Chen Ming finally felt the soul power and spirituality in the transformation of this layer of strange metal. However, unlike the small golden ball he had forcibly formed using plate crystal gold, Chen Ming could feel that this magical metal that gathered into a small ball not only contained soul power and spirituality, but even contained elements that were enough to be called life.
