Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline

The Body Sect adopted the system very quickly, directly incorporating it into the disciples' cultivation, preparing to ensure that each disciple would acquire a Soul Spirit with at least one subsequent Soul Ring.

They all possess original martial souls and have varying degrees of talent in blacksmithing, allowing them to inherit Su Ming's forging techniques.

Furthermore, Su Ming proposed using materials forged from spirit forging to create soul tools. Soul tools made in this way are directly integrated into the soul master's body. If the traditional soul-guided cannons are not used, but instead a core array design is adopted to supplement and amplify the martial soul, the effect of spirit-forged metal will be even more terrifying.

After he proposed this idea, the Body Sect reformed again, directly incorporating the learning of soul tools into the sect's strategy for cultivating disciples.

He just made that suggestion again.

He suggested that the Su family send some people with the technology to mine rare metal veins, and lead the Body Sect to search for rare metal veins in the Douluo Three Kingdoms region.

To make it an even-numbered chapter, hehe.

Chapter 69 Time Paradox

Su Ming's proposal was readily supported by many people in the Body Sect.

Because he has put forward a series of reforms, more than 90% of the disciples of the Body Sect have gathered on Snow Demon Mountain during this period.

The disciples of the Body Sect are generally scattered across the continent, each with their own livelihood.

That's right, everyone has their own life.

This is also a legacy issue from history, because the Body Sect strictly follows the Body Martial Soul when accepting disciples, and the Body Martial Soul is very rare. It is equivalent to each Body Martial Soul being a mutation. Even if the parents have a Body Martial Soul, it only means that there is a corresponding mutation path in the bloodline, rather than that the corresponding form is stabilized.

As a mutated form of a martial soul based on the body of a soul master, the original martial soul generally has low innate soul power, usually around level three, and level one is not uncommon.

The Body Sect has few members, making it difficult to recruit disciples, and its reputation is not well-known, which further increases the difficulty of finding disciples.

Due to various factors, a considerable number of disciples in the sect were only accepted into the sect in their twenties or thirties and received the correct cultivation method for their original martial soul.

They already have their own lives, and the sect does not force them to cultivate within the sect.

And so, the Body Sect became a group of 'idle people' who had almost no sects and would occasionally gather at Snow Demon Mountain.

Of course, the sect's strongest members mostly stayed on Snow Demon Mountain, focusing on their cultivation.

Su Ming announced a series of major events, prompting the sect to undergo several reforms, and most of the disciples were urgently recalled.

The Snow Demon Mountain is unusually lively these days.

These days, many disciples have come to our door seeking a piece of spirit-forged metal.

Su Ming was also helpless; he was lucky to have replicated the spirit forging once.

In reality, all three main bodies were in their best condition during their first spirit forging. Su Ming in the third battle fused his faith into the forging process and used the forging faith to achieve a breakthrough. Su Ming in the first and second battles followed suit to some extent, gathering a portion of his faith and taking advantage of the novel experience of borrowing power for the first time. With these two enhancements, he completed his first spirit forging.

However, if anyone wants to replicate it in the future, neither Su Ming from Douluo Continent I nor Su Ming from Douluo Continent II can do it.

Even Su Ming from Dou San hasn't been able to replicate the Spirit Forging a second time.

Faced with fellow disciples seeking spirit-forged metals, Su Ming could only helplessly inform them of the current situation.

He only had one piece of Spirit Forged Metal, and because its properties were compatible with Poison Immortal, he didn't plan to use it himself.

However, spirit-forged metal is scarce, but thousand-forged metal is plentiful.

He ranked the more than one hundred disciples of the Body Sect, and according to the order in which they arrived, he would prepare a piece of spirit-infused metal for each of them so that they could experience the benefits of spirit-infused metal.

After more than half a month, Su Ming had basically completed this task.

"Xiao Ming, we still need you to learn how to use soul tools. The sect is full of roughnecks. I guess apart from your senior sister Vina, there aren't many people who can learn soul tools from you."

The sects have changed their attitude towards soul tools, but due to a lack of talent, few can learn the abilities of a soul tool master on their own.

"Don't worry, teacher. Since I've brought this up, I won't ignore the issue of talent." Su Ming said, "Based on my own experience in making soul tools, I think the cultivation of a soul tool master is mainly divided into two parts: one is constructing the core array, and the other is making it. If we only talk about making it, we can actually accumulate experience through hard work. The disciples in the sect really don't know anything about the core array, so it's better to specialize in inscribing the core array."

Poison Undying nodded.

After hearing what Su Ming said, he felt it was acceptable.

He wasn't particularly devoted to the Soul Master system, so the dismantling of the Soul Master system didn't bother him at all.

If Su Can heard Su Ming's words, he would probably be so angry that his mustache would curl.

"Teacher, what is the sect's opinion on the mining of rare metals?"

Su Ming had just finished speaking with Du Busi, who then discussed the matter with the elders of the sect. Now, Su Ming was eagerly awaiting the outcome.

"Sects would certainly be happy to mine rare metals, but are there really rare metal veins in the Douluo Three Kingdoms region?"

The collision between Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent has resulted in the fact that most of the rare metals on the new Douluo Continent are now produced by the Sun Moon Empire, while the original Douluo Continent has very few rare metals.

"Teacher, do you really believe this?" Su Ming sneered and said, "Although the environment in which rare metals are formed is unique, there is no shortage of strange and special terrains in Douluo Continent. How could there be no rare metal veins?"

There can only be two reasons why no rare metals were unearthed.

On the one hand, the technology was not mature, and the exploration and mining were too difficult, which prevented Douluo Three Kingdoms from mining rare metals for a long time.

On the other hand, from a conspiracy theory perspective, someone discovered a mineral vein and was able to mine a small amount of rare metals from the surrounding area. However, in order to maintain the extremely high price of rare metals in the Douluo Three Kingdoms region, they did not announce it and strictly restricted the export of the rare metals they mined to earn huge profits.

"Sigh, the main problem is that this is a huge project. Even with the technology, and even though the Douluo Three Kingdoms region has no shortage of rare metal veins, it's not something that can be found overnight," Du Busi told Su Ming truthfully.

The elders are all happy to mine rare metals, but the investment required is somewhat excessive for the Body Sect.

The Body Sect is short-handed and cannot handle this kind of work.

"Then let's find some forces to cooperate with, but exclude the three great empires."

Poison Immortal said, "Don't worry, I know you're worried."

The three great empires are the most likely forces to control the mines and block information. Besides the three great empires, there are also Shrek Academy and the three upper sects.

If we're going to collaborate, we need a lot of manpower, but we also need to appear to be poor.

“Teacher, there is a city called Gengxin in the Star Luo Empire. It has the most blacksmiths. We have a forging system and can develop that place into a subordinate force.”

Poison didn't kill him, and his eyes lit up.

Su Ming's suggestion is excellent.

"blacksmith."

“That’s right. I’ve heard there’s a small association. We can use that association as a foundation to establish a blacksmith association,” Su Ming said.

After discussing with Du Busi for a while, Su Ming was personally led by Du Busi to continue the discussion with the elders.

Su Ming could actually pinpoint the location of the rare metal vein.

But he also had his own concerns.

In the future, Su Ming will have access to a great deal of information, which will allow him to search for intelligence and bring many benefits to Su Ming in the battle against the two.

In Douyi, Su Ming is alright; nothing he does will change history. On the contrary, he can use future technology to strive for a higher rank, thus gaining the qualification to collect faith for Douyi and Douyi III.

The changes Su Ming made in Dou Di Zhuan II would alter history, and then, under the convergence of the timeline, it would develop as much as possible toward the future where Su Ming in Dou Di Zhuan III resides.

Everything Su Ming experienced in the future will be used as an anchor point, becoming the key to the convergence of the timeline.

But what if what he experienced turned out to be an illusion?

For example, if Su Ming in Dou San learns about mining information on the continent, and this information is then learned by Su Ming in Dou Er, who mines the minerals ahead of time, and this continues into the future, the information that Su Ming in Dou San obtained becomes false, meaning that Su Ming in Dou San's experience becomes illusory.

What are the consequences of such a conflict?

Su Ming didn't know, and didn't want to try it for the time being.

Therefore, he still plans to use a more primitive method to mine the vein, which is to organize a certain number of people and use professional exploration equipment to conduct a thorough search.

At least, Su Ming had to do this during the second phase of the Dou family.

Chapter 70 The Blacksmiths' Association during the Touji Era

The future can be changed.

Even if it causes a so-called cognitive conflict, making Su Ming's experience in Dou San somewhat illusory, it is worth trying, but not in such meaningless attempts.

"If I, as a Douyi user, can mine rare metals using the information provided by me, as a Dousan user, then forget about it."

Detecting rare metal veins is time-consuming and a lengthy process.

However, the Douluo Continent at this time is still in an era that has not been extensively developed.

While it may not be a land of gold, at least it won't be a case of putting in effort and getting nothing in return.

In the first Dou Yi game, Su Ming could find mineral veins almost like he had cheated, and after finding several key mineral veins, he could also have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School continue to help search the entire continent. The locations found could also be used as a reference for Su Ming in the second Dou Yi game.

Therefore, this is equivalent to him having twice the exploration efficiency.

"Elders, this is my idea. I've learned about the Blacksmith Association from Senior Sister Vina. It existed ten thousand years ago. It flourished for a period of time because of the Tang Sect, but was later abandoned and gradually declined. Now it's a force with a lower status but a wide membership. With the status of our Body Sect, we can completely control the Blacksmith Association."

“Controlling a subordinate power, especially one like the Blacksmiths' Association that can exist in a neutral capacity, is very important to us. We are limited in our expansion due to the restrictions on taking on disciples, but we can enhance our influence by expanding our subordinate powers. At the same time, we can also better recruit disciples from all over the continent through our subordinate powers.”

Su Ming's words resonated with the elders.

Recruiting disciples has always been one of the most troublesome things for the Body Sect.

To put it simply, when the Body Sect accepts disciples, the most crucial factor for a disciple's future success is indeed the position of their Body Martial Soul. The more important it is, the greater the potential. But what if this disciple is only discovered when they are already forty years old?

Equally important as the disciple's own martial spirit is their age.

If someone joins the Body Sect immediately after awakening their martial soul, even if it's only a two-armed martial soul, the Body Sect has the confidence to cultivate them into an eight-armed god-demon.

Of course, it wasn't just the sects that were suffering from this; the elders were also in pain because half of them didn't have any disciples.

Every time a talented disciple joins the sect and becomes a disciple of Du Busi, they wish the sect leader would die suddenly.

That's too much.

He always manages to be the first to snatch up a good disciple.

Only if more good disciples enter the sect at the same time will they have the opportunity to choose.

“If the elders have no objections, then I will take Su Ming to Gengxin City to investigate the situation first.” Poison Immortal’s gaze swept over the elders present.

“Sect Master, I’ll go with you. I can stay behind to guard the Association,” an elder stepped forward and said.

Du Bu Si looked at the elder and nodded in agreement.

"I'll go too."

Elder Lei Zhen raised his hand in acknowledgment.

“Alright, Elder Babi and Elder Leizhen will come with me.”

Poison couldn't kill them, so they understood the purpose of their trip.

Firstly, as they said, after reaching an agreement with the blacksmiths' association, they would stay and oversee the association.

Secondly, these two were the most enthusiastic among the sect elders about learning forging techniques. Staying there would allow them to learn basic forging methods and solidify their blacksmithing foundation.

After packing their bags, the four of them left Snow Demon Mountain.

Star Luo Empire.

Savage Beast Mountain Range.

"Xiao Ming, are you sure you'll get the third soul ring from the Star Tree spirit?" Du Busi said, "I think there are some good soul beast resources in this Savage Beast Mountain Range. You should break through level 30 soon, and then I can take you here to hunt souls."

Su Ming shook his head.

"Think it through. The biggest advantage of the Soul Spirit to you is that it assists in forging. Now you don't lack Soul Spirits. You might be able to obtain its second and third Soul Ring by continuing to rely on the Soul Spirit, but that's meaningless. You've already absorbed its cultivation. The two Soul Rings you obtain later can only provide the basic level one."

Poison couldn't kill him, so he tried to persuade Su Ming.

Given Su Ming's physique, which allows him to absorb knowledge beyond his current level, wasting the opportunity and continuing to rely on his past achievements would greatly limit his potential.

"Teacher, I will think it over carefully before integrating the third ring," Su Ming said.

He couldn't directly tell Du Bu Si that he wanted to keep this position for now and see if he could get the million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

In reality, he himself didn't have much motivation, because the opportunity was already slim. This was Huo Yuhao's core opportunity, and as long as Tang San was watching, he wouldn't let Su Ming succeed in interfering.

Moreover, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm can exchange memories, which is a taboo for Su Ming.

Compared to the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Electrolux is much more fragrant.

The key is that Electrolux is an outsider, and his appearance is most likely an accident, so it's unlikely that Tang San could forcibly intercept him.

"Let's reserve the spot for the third spirit ring, even if it's just to give us a good reason to be present."

Gengxin City.

Looking at the dilapidated metal city, Su Ming couldn't help but feel a little sad.
