Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 237 Soul Hunting Preparation, Target Star

These four strength-type soul bones are the right arm bone of a 20,000-year-old powerful gorilla, the left arm bone of a 16,000-year-old armored rhinoceros, the left leg bone of a 15,000-year-old violent mammoth, and the right leg bone of a 20,000-year-old earth bear.

Even though the age is only about 10,000 to 20,000 years, when Chen Ming told Lou Gao the age of these soul bones and expressed his desire for them to be absorbed, Lou Gao was so moved that he cried out loud.

In today's Douluo Continent, a master craftsman is not a noble being. With his status, even if he works as a blacksmith for his entire life, he can probably only afford a ten-thousand-year soul bone of average quality. Whether it is suitable or not is another matter. There is also the risk of being killed and robbed.

With his status as a Soul Saint, he had never thought that he could absorb a ten-thousand-year soul bone in his life. Even a thousand-year-old power-type soul bone would be a rare treasure for him.

Chen Ming felt that the quality was average, but in fact, the value of these four soul bones was enough to buy out half of the Blacksmiths Association. It was the kind of half of the Blacksmiths Association that carried all the accumulation of the Blacksmiths Association since its establishment.

Lou Gao thanked Chen Ming over and over again, and then with Chen Ming's help, he absorbed the four soul bones.

A year ago, Lou Gao's cultivation level was the 74th-level Soul Saint. His cultivation level was a bit superficial, and coupled with his old age, there was basically no possibility for him to make any progress.

But after returning to the Blacksmith Association, Lou Gao relied on the improvement of his state of mind through breakthrough in spiritual forging to advance from level 74 to level 75, and then he almost consumed himself to death due to his sudden enlightenment. After Chen Ming used his vitality to heal the deficiency and repair the hidden injuries in his body, Lou Gao broke through to level 76 because his body recovered to its peak and he had a close encounter between life and death.

Although these four soul bones are old soul bones that have been absorbed several times, the bonus to soul power and body is no longer as strong as that of fresh soul bones, but for Lou Gao, a soul saint, the remaining bonus of the ten thousand year soul bones is still very obvious.

After absorbing four ten thousand year soul bones, each one increased Lou Gao's soul power by a little more than one level. When he absorbed the third soul bone, Lou Gao's soul power had already increased to level eighty. After all four soul bones were absorbed, Lou Gao clearly felt that his physical fitness and all aspects of his condition had reached an unprecedented peak.

Originally, Lou Gao looked to be in his seventies and just seemed more energetic. However, after absorbing the soul bone, he looked almost twenty years younger due to the soul power and vitality enhanced by the soul bone. He had returned to his prime.

Lou Gao took out a piece of smooth metal and used it as a mirror. Looking at the long-lost appearance in the mirror, Lou Gao felt a heat he had never felt before.

Regardless of the fact that Chen Ming didn't like to perform formalities, Lou Gaokua knelt on the ground, ready to kowtow to Chen Ming. However, before his head hit the ground, Chen Ming lifted him up with his gentle soul power.

Feeling the power of faith coming continuously from the top of the building, Chen Ming was secretly happy in his heart, but he still pretended to be angry on the surface.

"Elder Lou, what are you doing? I gave you the soul bone so that you can improve your strength and continue to have the strength to create new heights in forging. You are going to kowtow to me, aren't you going against me?"

"I'm not someone who cares about superficial etiquette, and I'm not trying to put on airs. Elder Lou, if you do this again, I won't help you forge anymore."

"Palace Master." Lou Gao's eyes were filled with tears, and he grabbed Chen Ming's arm: "Palace Master, I will remember your virtue of rebirth in my heart. I will definitely fight for the goal of my Soul Palace in this life, even if it means my death!"

Lou Gao was not good at speaking and couldn't kowtow. He had tears in his eyes for a long time and only said a few words. He finally calmed down after Chen Ming's persuasion.

Chen Ming collected the three popsicles (frozen human sticks) on the ground, then pulled Lou Gao and took out a soul beast illustration book, asking him to look at it and choose his eighth soul ring. Chen Ming also had his own plans to improve Lou Gao's strength. Lou Gao's current spiritual realm has reached the level of Super Douluo. Even if his original talent is not enough, as long as he does not accidentally burn out his vitality or get killed, he can become a Titled Douluo in the future by enduring time.

The Heavenly Forging would bring about a thunder tribulation, although it was not as fierce as the soul beast's tribulation, but it was impossible to withstand it without the strength of a Titled Douluo or a top soul douluo. If it could not withstand it, not only would the equipment be damaged, but even the forger would be killed.

Chen Ming didn't want to hear about how Lou Gao had lost all his vitality due to a sudden enlightenment, or how he accidentally touched the Tianduan and was struck to death by thunder.

Technical talents must not get into trouble. This is a lesson learned through blood and tears. Compared with Tianduan and Doukai, what are a few soul bones?
Therefore, it is quite necessary to strengthen Lou Gao's combat effectiveness. He wants to prevent this master craftsman from dying suddenly for ridiculous reasons on his way to becoming the true master craftsman.

Lou Gao was flipping through the soul beast illustration, thinking carefully.

Although he is a power-type soul master, to be honest, he is not really good at fighting. For his eighth soul skill, Lou Gao wanted an amplification skill or a defensive skill.

The former can improve one's forging limit and combat effectiveness, while the latter can ensure one's survival.

But his martial soul is the Diamond Chisel, which is not good at amplification and defense, so Lou Gao is still a little hesitant about what to choose.

After a while, Lou Gao closed the Soul Beast Atlas and told Chen Ming his thoughts.

"Dark Gold Bear, Iron Wall Rhino, Diamond Mammoth, and Giant Otter are more functional choices? Well, let's go to the Star Dou Great Forest. I just want to hand these three guys over to the Great Priest Qian Daoliu."

"Since the Haotian Sect has closed the mountain, then just stay in the mountain. Since you are out to cause trouble, don't blame me for getting beaten."

Chen Ming murmured in a low voice and told Lou Gao his opinion. After the two discussed for a while, Lou Gao left the room and called his disciples to start dealing with the affairs of the Blacksmith Association and the Li Clan.

The fact that Lou Gao had regained his youth caused quite a stir in the Blacksmith Association, as if it was a disguised proof that Lou Gao had indeed obtained a soul bone, and it was even possible that he had obtained more than one. However, at this moment, no one inside or outside the Blacksmith Association dared to have any more thoughts.

The 86th level Soul Douluo, along with a bunch of Soul Saints and Soul Emperors, couldn't even last a stick of incense in front of the man behind Lou Gao, and even his martial soul's true body and the five enhanced skills of the eighth soul skill were shattered by the man's punch.
Those who originally wanted to take advantage of the situation no longer considered how to obtain the treasure. With the powerful clan taking the lead, their main consideration now was how to appear innocent so as not to be killed by others and have their entire clan's property taken away.

In three days, Lou Gao received gifts and orders with a total value of nearly 10 million gold soul coins, including various medicinal herbs and soul beast materials, as well as many rare minerals. He was almost overwhelmed by the gifts alone, and all kinds of orders were lined up for three years later.

The huge gap between the two made Lou Gao, who was not so interested in strength at first, a little silent. He decided to improve his strength while forging.

After solving the problem, Chen Ming took Lou Gao and quickly went to the Spirit Hall.
