Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 230: Are there any more experts? (Chapter )

"I just don't quite get used to it."

After accepting the fact that she was betrayed by Tang Hao, Ah Yin seemed to have grown a lot. After listening to Chen Ming's words, she just sighed and did not continue to argue.

Unlike Tang Hao, who was so arrogant that he looked down upon others, Ah Yin was kind and gentle. No one knew how the two of them got together. In Chen Ming's opinion, even Tang Hao's elder brother Tang Xiao was much better than Tang Hao.

Chen Ming was killing time in the forging room, chatting with Ah Yin from time to time, improving their relationship. After more than an hour, there was a knock at the door of the forging room. After getting Chen Ming's permission, Lou Gao pushed the door open and entered.

"Master, thank you for your help. Otherwise, if Titan had taken action this time, our Blacksmith Association would have suffered the most severe blow in hundreds of years."

As soon as he entered the door, Lou Gao bowed to Chen Ming and expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

"Our Blacksmith Association was originally just a place where a group of blacksmiths who were looked down upon by the Douluo Continent soul masters gathered together to live. It was originally just a place where everyone focused on forging iron. I didn't expect that with the development, people like Titan would appear in high positions."

"Eh" Lou Gao sighed, not knowing what to say.

"Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Wherever there are people, there are disputes. They are no more than big or small, open or covert. There are always things happening in the Blacksmith Association, but the things that happen on weekdays are so small that they are invisible. This time, the incident almost set the Blacksmith Association off."

"Elder Lou, I can't always be stationed at the Blacksmith Association. I was here when something happened this time, so I was able to handle it. But if something happens in the future, I may not be there to handle it."

Chen Ming took out two tokens from the Ruyi Treasure Bag on his waist. When one of the tokens was revealed, Ah Yin's face changed instantly. If it wasn't just an illusion, her body would probably start to tremble with nervousness.

One of the two tokens is the Seven Treasures Token of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Lou Gao saw Ning Fengzhi hand it over to Chen Ming with his own eyes, so Lou Gao was mentally prepared for this.

The other one made Lou Gao's face change instantly, and his breathing became rapid.

That was the token of the Spirit Hall, but it was not the elder token given by Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo before, but the offering token presented by Qian Daoliu. It was a very rare copy of Qian Daoliu's own offering token, and it was attached with a gentle and powerful sacred attribute soul power, representing Qian Daoliu's own recognition.

It can be said that in the Spirit Hall, this token representing the great worshiper has a very special meaning.

"Elder Lou, I have two ways to strengthen the Blacksmith Association, but both require external help. I have never managed a Blacksmith Association, so the specifics still need to be decided by you."

"First," Chen Ming picked up the Seven Treasures Token and explained to Lou Gao, "I will take the Seven Treasures Token to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and ask Sect Master Ning for help. I will transfer a few Soul Saints from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and maybe even a Soul Douluo. With the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's reputation, few people on the continent will dare to be as presumptuous as they are today."

"But if you use the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's token, then the Blacksmith Association will owe the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect a favor, and will also be marked with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's mark in the eyes of some people. You will need to repay this favor in the future."

"The second one." Chen Ming put down the Seven Treasures Order and picked up Qian Daoliu's token.

"This token is a copy of the token of Qian Daoliu, the former pope of the Spirit Hall and now the chief priest of the Spirit Hall. With this token, I can go to the Spirit Hall and mobilize a Titled Douluo of average strength to secretly protect the Blacksmith Association." "You have to understand how noble the identity of a Titled Douluo is on the mainland, and what kind of identity is the chief priest of the Spirit Hall. The favor owed for this matter is much greater than the Seven Treasures Token. If nothing happens in the future, it will be fine. But if the Spirit Hall makes a big move, then the Blacksmith Association will inevitably be implicated."

"Elder Lou, please choose one." As he said that, Chen Ming put down the token and gave the right to choose to Lou Gao.

Looking at the two tokens on the table, Lou Gao's face fell into deep thought. Finally, under Chen Ming's gaze, Lou Gao pointed to the Wuhun Hall's offering order without any hesitation.

"I choose the help of the Spirit Hall."

"Why?" Chen Ming asked back.

"I watched Sect Master Ning hand over the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's offering order to the Hall Master. This Seven Treasures Order represents a Soul Douluo-level offering, and it is Sect Master Ning's investment in the Hall Master."

"And the token of the Spirit Hall's chief worshiper represents the entire Spirit Hall, and can even mobilize Titled Douluo. This cannot be explained by simple investment. The Hall Master must have a connection and a good relationship with the Spirit Hall. If the Spirit Hall makes a big move one day, the Hall Master will probably not be able to stay out of it."

"In that case, choosing the help of Spirit Hall and owing someone a favor is nothing. Moreover, a Titled Douluo, even if he is just a Titled Douluo hiding in the dark, can exert much greater abilities than some Soul Saints."

"Smart!" Chen Ming gave Lou Gao a thumbs up, then put away the two tokens and began to ask Lou Gao how he dealt with the members of the Power Clan and the Titans.

In response to Chen Ming's questions, Lou Gao told him everything he had done.

Those members of the Power Clan who did not directly participate in the battle were asked by Lou Gao to help the Blacksmith Association smelt metals and transport various ores. Those members of the Power Clan who directly participated in the battle were tied up with iron chains and locked up to prevent riots.

After receiving a simple treatment, Tai Tan was fed a large amount of laxatives by Lou Gao. He was vomiting and having diarrhea, and he was dehydrated and even lost consciousness. Lou Gao planned to tie him up with chains, and then just send someone to feed him a little water and rice every day to ensure that he would not die.

Tai Tan's son, the middle-aged spirit master who helped Tai Tan rise up, was released by Lou Gao, and the Li Clan was asked to go back and prepare things to redeem him from the Blacksmith Association. The forgers who followed Tai Tan were punished, ranging from being demoted and having to pay a large amount of compensation to being expelled from the Blacksmith Association and having their names announced to the mainland.

These fired blacksmiths will face difficulties in purchasing raw materials in the future, and will not be able to join some large blacksmith shops. From then on, at most they can spend their lives making iron in a small village relying on their skills.

After talking about how to deal with these people, Lou Gao's face changed. He took out a piece of parchment from his soul guide and handed it to Chen Ming.

"Palace Master, when dealing with those people, I discovered this from Titan. Although on the surface the four single-attribute clans have severed ties with the Haotian Sect since Tang Hao killed Qianxunji with a hammer, but in fact, Titan or the Power Clan seems to still have a lingering relationship with the Haotian Sect."

"This time, Titan's coming to steal things was not just his idea. It was also the suggestion of several elders who sneaked out of the Haotian Sect to hunt for spirit rings."
