As for the future...
Dugu Bo paused, his eyes becoming somewhat meaningful.
"after?"
Lou Gao's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Your Majesty, please forgive my old age and ignorance."
Although our Blacksmith Association has some skills, in the eyes of the Soul Master world, we are nothing more than a group of rough blacksmiths.
What exactly do you see in us?
This is also what Lou Gao finds most incomprehensible.
How prestigious is a Title Douluo?
What kind of weapons and equipment can't you get?
Why go to all the trouble of subduing this group of blacksmiths?
Is it for the money?
But Dugu Bo had just casually tossed them the treasures looted by the Spirit Hall, clearly not caring about such a small amount of money.
"hehe..."
Dugu Bo chuckled softly, his eyes becoming deep and unfathomable, as if he could see through the mists of the future:
"Lou Gao, there are some things you don't understand yet."
"You just need to know that what I value is not your current worth, but... your future potential."
"potential?"
I'm completely confused from being so tall.
What potential can be extracted from blacksmithing?
Could it be that you can somehow unleash a divine artifact?
You'll understand when the time comes.
Dugu Bo waved his hand dismissively, feigning profoundness.
Without another word, he got up and strode away from the blacksmith's association with Dugu Yan.
Lou Gao was left standing there, staring at the unseeing head on the table and the gold and silver treasures scattered on the ground, lost in deep thought.
...
As Dugu Bo stepped out of the blacksmiths' association, the inscrutable expression on his face vanished instantly, replaced by curiosity and bewilderment.
"Senior, what's the point of all this trouble we went through to subdue these blacksmiths?"
Dugu Bo asked in the sea of spirit:
"These guys don't have any other skills besides blacksmithing."
In terms of fighting power, they're not even as good as my garden of poisonous weeds.
What he just said was purely made up to show off.
In reality, he himself wasn't sure either.
What's the point?
Yu Nan's voice rang out softly, tinged with a hint of mockery:
"Old poisoner, your vision is still too shallow."
"Do you think the ultimate goal of a Soul Master is just Soul Skills and Soul Bones?"
"In this world, there is another power called—Soul Guidance Device."
"Soul tool?"
Dugu Bo was taken aback:
"Isn't that an ancient artifact passed down from ancient times?"
The crafting method has long been lost in the world of Soul Masters; only imperfect products can be obtained by excavating ruins.
Moreover, at most, one can only obtain some storage soul tools!
"Lost in history?"
Yu Nan sneered:
"It may have been lost on this continent, but on the other side of the sea, there is a land called the 'Sun and Moon Continent'."
"There, the development of soul tools has far exceeded your imagination."
"And these blacksmiths are the key to us mastering that power in the future."
"Give them blueprints and materials, and a little guidance, and they can become pioneers in the manufacture of soul tools."
"At that time, even an ordinary Soul Master, wielding a high-level Soul Tool, will be able to challenge opponents of higher levels, and even... threaten Title Douluos!"
Although Yunan was unaware of it.
How did the Soul Guidance Device develop in the Sun Moon Continent during this era?
But according to the original plot.
Thousands of years later.
The Sun and Moon Continent will eventually border the Douluo Continent due to tectonic plate drift.
Based on the strength they displayed at that time.
It's likely that the development of soul tools on the Sun and Moon Continent occurred around this time.
It won't be too bad.
'Several thousand years from now, the Sun and Moon Continent will collide with the Douluo Continent due to tectonic plate drift.'
Yu Nan thought to himself.
'Thinking back, at this time, the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent weren't too far apart.'
"It's just that seafaring hasn't developed in the Douluo Continent yet, and the seas are teeming with sea spirit beasts, making them extremely dangerous."
Humans can only establish a foothold on land, but at sea, they are still too inexperienced.
"As long as we avoid the deep-sea demon whale areas and the massive sea spirit beast groups like the Demonic Orca pods, and then send people to build large ships to search for the Sun and Moon Continent, there's still a certain chance of finding it!"
"hiss--!!"
Dugu Bo gasped, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Threatening to ban a Title Douluo?
How is this possible?!
But when he thought of this senior's mysterious and unpredictable nature, he had no choice but to believe him.
"Sun and Moon Continent... Soul Guidance Device..."
Dugu Bo muttered to himself, a sudden surge of inexplicable excitement welling up inside him.
If what the elders said is true, then this group of blacksmiths is simply a huge gold mine!
"Your senior is wise!"
Dugu Bo exclaimed in sincere admiration:
"It seems we made the right move!"
Yu Nan didn't speak again, but a glint of light flashed in his huge dragon eyes.
Although the collision between the Sun and Moon Continents will still take several thousand years, now that he has come, he will naturally not sit idly by and wait for that moment.
Planning ahead and mastering core technologies is the key to success.
And this group of blacksmiths was the first pawn in his game.
"Let's go, where to next?"
Dugu Bo was in a great mood, feeling that following this senior meant a bright future.
"Now that we've come to Gengxin City, we can't leave empty-handed."
Yu Nan said calmly:
"Go and call that kid named Silong, and have him lead the way."
Where to?
"Outside the city, a mass grave."
What's there...?
"A...good thing that can make your poison skills reach a high level, or even go further."
Upon entering Gengjin City.
Yu Nan sensed it.
In the direction of the mass grave outside the city, there was something that attracted me very much.
I might as well go and take a look; I might even find something unexpected.
When Silong was called out, his legs were shaking.
He had just witnessed the Poison Douluo throw Miles's head on the table and frighten his own teacher so much that he knelt down and begged for mercy.
Now that this wicked star has chosen him to lead the way, he feels as if he has already stepped halfway into the gates of hell.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, you wanted to see me?"
Si Long kept his head down, not daring to look at Dugu Bo at all, and his voice was barely audible.
"Stop trembling, I don't eat people."
Dugu Bo glanced at him and waved his hand impatiently:
"Lead the way to the mass grave outside the city."
"I want the biggest one, the one where the most dead people are buried."
"Yes...yes!"
Si Long felt as if he had been granted a pardon, as long as he wasn't killed right now, he quickly led the way.
...
Outside Gengxin City, there is a mass grave.
Withered trees and crows at dusk, ruins and broken walls, with bones half-buried in the soil and broken weapons everywhere.
"Your Majesty...this is the place."
Silong stood at the edge of the mass grave, covering his nose, his face pale.
"Most of the people buried here are poor blacksmiths and miners who died from overwork or from inhaling too much metal dust. They are filled with resentment, and no one dares to come here normally."
"Okay, you can get lost now."
Dugu Bo casually tossed Silong a gold soul coin, dismissing him like a beggar.
After Silong had scrambled away, Dugu Bo turned to look at this repulsive land and frowned, saying:
"Senior, this place is filthy and smelly. What good stuff could there be besides scrap metal and dead bones?"
"Dirty? Smelly?"
Yu Nan's voice echoed in the sea of consciousness, tinged with excitement:
"Old poisoner, you only see the surface."
"To ordinary people, this place is a dead end."
But in your eyes, this should be a treasure trove.
"Sense carefully, what has been born from the Geng metal energy that has accumulated for hundreds of years underground, perfectly fused with corpse poison and resentment?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression hardened.
He closed his eyes, and his immense spiritual power spread out like a tide, probing deep into the ground.
At first, there was only an unsettling deathly aura.
But as his perception deepened, Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of shock flashing in his emerald pupils!
"This...this is..."
He sensed it!
At the very center of this mass grave, about a hundred meters underground.
An extremely sharp, domineering, yet insidious aura was slowly pulsating!
That aura was like a sharp blade coated with deadly poison; even the mere touch of his mental energy caused him a stinging pain.
"That's 'Gengjin Ghost Vine'."
