—------------------—
The entire Butian Pavilion is now in an extremely busy state.
After just a few days away, the construction of the Butian Pavilion Chamber of Commerce building located in the center of Tiandou City has already started.
Speaking of which, this is inseparable from the strong support of the Tiandou royal family.
"Hey, isn't this Senior Lou Gao? What a rare guest, truly a rare guest!"
As soon as Ye Ling returned to Butian Pavilion, he saw someone he had never expected.
Lou Gao is one of the greatest craftsmen of his time.
It was all thanks to him that he had been supplying metal to Gengjin City in recent years and training outstanding blacksmiths for Butian Pavilion.
"Hmph, hmph!"
Lou Gao rolled his eyes, looking quite sarcastic.
"Young Pavilion Master has been very busy these years, and he hasn't even been to Gengjin City once."
"If it weren't for Aotian and Vina, the two little guys, returning to the Butian Pavilion, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come to visit my own sect headquarters!"
There was obviously some resentment in Lou Gao's words.
As a master craftsman, he is always a guest of honor no matter which force he is in.
It happened to be the Butian Pavilion, and it was the first time he came to the headquarters that recruited his forces.
"Senior Lou Gao, you're joking. I'm just too busy."
Ye Ling smiled bitterly.
"Senior Lou Gao's arrival is just perfect. From now on, all metal purchases between the Blacksmith Association and the Butian Pavilion will be handled by my newly established Chamber of Commerce."
"Well, actually, I have now handed over the responsibility of the Blacksmith Association to my disciple Silong."
Lou Gao nodded.
"I'm planning to stay in the Butian Pavilion for a long time this time, and I'll learn the manufacturing process of soul guides from Lao Kong."
"I see. Senior Lou Gao is originally from the Butian Pavilion. How can you stay here permanently? I will have someone arrange accommodation for you right away."
Although Lou Gao has a somewhat eccentric personality, he does have some abilities.
Ye Ling also admires such people very much.
"Speaking of which, Senior Lou Gao is quite knowledgeable and is extremely proficient in all kinds of metals."
As if he had thought of something, Ye Ling asked casually.
"I wonder if Senior knows if there are any soul beasts on the continent that possess both gold and earth attributes?"
Although he asked casually, it was not aimless.
According to the soul beast habitat theory, soul beasts with gold or earth attributes generally like to live in places with rich mineral resources.
This is similar to what soul masters call mimicry practice.
The playful expression on Lou Gao's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a look of contemplation.
After pondering for a moment, Lou Gao slowly spoke.
"Young Pavilion Master, have you ever heard of a soul beast called Behemoth?"
"Behemoth?!"
Ye Ling's eyes narrowed slightly.
In Ultimate Douluo, Qian Lei's natal summoned beast among the Shrek Seven Devils is a golden Behemoth!
It is said that the Golden Behemoth feeds on dragons, and even the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear seems to have a trace of Behemoth blood.
If this is true, then there would be a reason why Lord Xiong often provokes Emperor Tian.
"Yes, in the Gengjin Mountains, some distance away from Gengjin City, there is a group of Behemoths that feed on rare metals."
"This Behemoth tribe is small in number, but extremely powerful."
Having said that, Lou Gao sighed slightly.
"In order to monopolize the metal reserves in the Gengjin Mountains, both the Xingluo Empire and the Spirit Hall sent powerful Titled Douluo to exterminate this Behemoth tribe."
"But they all ended in failure. On several occasions, they even provoked the Behemoths out of the mountains, reducing several nearby cities to ruins."
Ye Ling's face showed ecstasy.
The Behemoth clan, which can make even Titled Douluo go without returning, must have a king among the Behemoth clan.
Even if its cultivation has not reached 100,000 years, its strength is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary soul beasts.
"Thank you, Senior Lou Gao, for letting me know."
Ye Ling bowed repeatedly towards Lou Gao.
After saying that, he disappeared from the spot without waiting for Lou Gao to react.
Soul beasts like Behemoth are very powerful, and they disappeared from the continent after ten thousand years.
In order to hunt down the king of the Behemoth clan, Ye Ling decided to bring a thug along just to be on the safe side.
"Sister Yulai, are you there?"
Ye Ling came to Leng Yulai's room and knocked on the door.
"Didn't the Young Pavilion Master go to obtain the first spirit ring of his second martial spirit?"
"Why are you back so soon?"
The door of the room was opened, and Leng Yulai looked at Ye Ling in surprise.
"I have obtained the first spirit ring of my second spirit, and now my spirit power has reached the bottleneck of level 60."
"If Sister Yulai is not busy, can you accompany me to hunt a soul beast?"
Leng Yulai was slightly stunned, then nodded directly.
"Of course there is no problem, but where is the soul beast you want?"
"There is a Behemoth tribe in the Gengjin Mountains. What I want is the strongest of this Behemoth tribe to be my spirit ring!"
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Leng Yulai took out the Space-Time Shuttle, on which the silver light kept flashing.
The next moment, the two figures disappeared from the spot.
In the Xingdou Empire, Gengjin Mountains.
Because this area is rich in various rare metals and is located near Gengjin, it was named Gengjin Mountains by the Xingluo Empire.
On a peak somewhere in the Gengjin Mountains, after a flash of silver light, two figures appeared.
"Young Pavilion Master, the Gengjin Mountains are extremely vast. I'm afraid it would be difficult to find the Behemoth tribe, right?"
Leng Yulai looked at the somewhat desolate mountains in front of him and couldn't help but frown.
The Gengjin Mountains are different from other lush and green mountains covered with vegetation.
There is very little vegetation on the entire mountain range, giving people an extremely desolate feeling.
"Don't worry, I have a solution."
A ball of white light flew out from Ye Ling's forehead and turned into the figure of Ice Emperor.
"Hyoei, I leave it to you."
Ye Ling nodded at Bingdi and shared all his mental power with Bingdi.
This is because Bingdi is his soul, and the two are now one and the same.
Moreover, the perception of soul beasts towards each other is much more sensitive than the perception of soul masters towards soul beasts.
The Ice Emperor sat cross-legged. After sharing Ye Ling's mental power, her mental power could now completely cover the entire mountain range.
"Found it!"
After a long time, Bingdi opened his eyes and pointed to the southeast.
"In this direction, about two hundred miles away, there is a group of powerful auras. It is probably the Behemoth tribe."
After a pause, Bingdi added.
"One of the auras is particularly powerful. If we calculate it based on the soul beast's cultivation level, it may have been cultivated for nearly 200,000 years!"
A look of surprise instantly appeared on Ye Ling's face.
The true combat power of the 200,000-year-old king of the Behemoth tribe is probably not comparable to that of an ordinary 200,000-year-old soul beast.
This is really perfect to be used as his sixth soul ring.
"Sister Yulai, the king of the Behemoth clan is 200,000 years old. His strength should not be underestimated. Can you handle it?"
Ye Ling looked at Leng Yulai beside him and asked.
A cruel smile slowly appeared on Leng Yulai's face.
She was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Church and was not a delicate girl.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of your spirit ring!"
