Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 301: Special Metals, Pulling People Into the Water

Chen Ming asked Xu Bai to sort out the information from these years to see which soul guides can be won over, which soul guide technology that appeared on the continent is real, and which is exaggerated. Then he walked around the black street alone and took a look at the specialties of the Sun and Moon Continent.

Unlike Douluo Continent, the average quality of soul beasts and martial souls in Sun Moon Continent is one level lower than that in Douluo Continent. The strongest soul master in the entire black street is just a high-level soul saint with a high-level martial soul, or the kind of fake soul saint whose foundation is unstable due to drug use, who would be killed by the top-level martial soul soul emperor in Douluo Continent.

But the Sun-Moon Continent also has its own characteristics, that is, there are many rare metals in the Sun-Moon Continent, both in quality and quantity, which are one level higher than those in the Douluo Continent. So this has created the foundation for the development of soul mentors.

Even though Chen Ming had visited the treasury of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, there were still many magical metals in the black streets that Chen Ming had never seen or even heard of.

Although there are no top-level materials that can be used to create magical artifacts, there are quite a lot of spiritual metals here. Many metals, even if they are just rough blanks, can possess some talents.

Chen Ming had also learned Lou Gao's Blacksmith Manual, and had a systematic method for identifying metals. His own mental power could also identify the characteristics of various metals. After a round, he had identified about 20 metals that interested him and that might be helpful to the forger system.

Yes, not twenty pieces, but twenty kinds.

There are so many magical metals in the Sun and Moon Continent. As the underground trading place in the imperial city of the two empires, the metals in the black street are the most precious treasures. This is why there are many kinds of metals that Chen Ming cares about.

Because of the current chaotic situation, the currency used in the Sun Moon Continent is very complicated. There are gold soul coins, silver soul coins, platinum coins made of composite metals, and bone coins made of soul beast bones and metals. The unification and conversion of various currencies alone is a very headache.

The Sun and Moon Kingdoms used gold and silver soul coins, while the three southern kingdoms used platinum coins and bone coins. But even the gold and silver soul coins had different qualities. A gold soul coin with a high gold content would cost more than a gold soul coin with a low gold content.

The gold content of the gold soul coins produced in different years and from different places is different. Although they are all officially issued gold soul coins, their styles and ingredients are extremely complex.

Among the currencies produced in the south, platinum coins are relatively stable, while bone coins are the most chaotic, because the value varies depending on the forging technology and the soul beast bones used.

Moreover, in the black market, the purchasing power of the currency from the south is even lower. According to Chen Ming's whispered complaints, the price of a bone coin or platinum coin here is only 70% of that of the three southern countries, and because bone coins are easy to counterfeit, many stores do not accept bone coins. Even if you go to exchange them, you have to pay a large handling fee.

Moreover, the length and weight units used by the north and south seem to be different. For various reasons, most people choose to use precious metals and precious materials for the most primitive barter, and currency becomes a secondary thing in this transaction. Even some shops cannot use currency for purchases.

In short, Chen Ming could only sigh at the wisdom of his ancestors. The policies of standardizing the wheel gauge, writing system, weights and measures, and currency were simply too correct.

Even though Chen Ming had excellent thinking ability and mental strength, it still took him a long time to figure out the basic rules of buying things in this ghost place. Then he took the soul beast materials on him to barter.

Most of the soul beast materials on Chen Ming's body were from snake soul masters, a small part of the materials "wholesale" from the Spirit Snake Island that year. However, the materials that Chen Ming could carry with him were basically those of intermediate and advanced soul beasts. He was too lazy to use the materials of too low a level to occupy his own storage soul guide.

The high-level and intermediate soul beasts of Douluo Continent can basically be upgraded to a higher level, compared to the Sun-Moon Continent, which has a disadvantage in soul beast resources. Chen Ming simply sold some scraps and easily bought most of the metals he liked. The remaining few families looked at Chen Ming's extravagance and wanted to raise the price. However, when he raised the price, Chen Ming chose not to buy.

Anyway, there will be many opportunities to obtain metals in the future, Chen Ming just wants to study it first. It's not really urgent.

As for Chen Ming's lavish spending, would he be targeted by someone with ulterior motives?

It is certain that someone is watching, but no one is stupid enough to think of killing or robbing.

Chen Ming bought things with materials from soul beasts, not gold soul coins or rare metals. Those who can hunt soul beasts must be strong, and those who can hunt high-quality soul beasts are the strongest among the strong.

Judging from the soul beast materials that Chen Ming threw out, these people felt that the man in the black robe was at least a Soul Saint-level warrior, and he might even be a reclusive Soul Douluo!

Contra is the most powerful being in the Sun and Moon Continent. Who would dare to have any bad intentions towards him?
Chen Ming shook off these little tails with a slight movement of his mental power. Then he teleported back to Xu Bai's room in a place where no one noticed. In the room, Xu Bai had sorted out his materials and clothes, and was ready to find his teacher.

Before leaving, Chen Ming asked Xu Bai about the details of his teacher, and Xu Bai explained it in detail.

His teacher is Shui Xuan, born in the Shui family of the Rising Sun Empire. His martial soul is a spirit turtle, a level 7 soul master, with three yellow, two purple and two black soul rings, a soul power level of 81, and a defense soul master. His soul guides are fixed soul guide shells and shield soul guides. He likes ** and hates.
After a brief understanding, Chen Ming used his soul power to cover the bodies of the two people, and then headed towards Shui Xuan's manor.

Shui Xuan's manor is not far from Da Ri City. It is the ancestral land of the Shui family. After thousands of years of operation, it has expanded to a level close to that of a small city (according to the standards of the Sun and Moon Continent).

There were more than ten teams of soldiers patrolling outside the Shui family's ancestral land, and a soul master was stationed on the city wall at intervals. In front of the city gate was a moat more than three meters wide, in which many carnivorous fish were raised.

The city wall is five meters thick and six meters high. It looks like it is built with bluestones, but in fact it is filled with many special materials. It can resist the soul skills of soul masters and even the bombardment of soul guide shells. The city gate is made of wood from tree-like soul beasts wrapped in metal.

On the battlements of the city wall, there are four level-four fixed-mounted soul-guided cannons and twelve level-three fixed-mounted soul-guided cannons. Each gun port is guarded by a soul master. Once encountering the enemy, they can load the shells at any time and use artillery fire to launch a massive attack.

With the help of the guards and city walls within the city, the Shui family's ancestral land can withstand the attack of a 5,000-man force (Sun and Moon Continent level), making it a well-deserved fortress.

Because the battles on the Sun and Moon Continent never stopped, no one thought that there was anything wrong with the Shui family's ancestral land having high defense. Instead, they thought it was quite normal. The Shui family was indeed a big family with such strong defense.
