This Blood Qilin Crystal had the effect of gathering fortune. Lin Yuhan, carrying it, had long ago gathered a portion of the fortune belonging to the Star Luo Continent's forging world.
She had become the representative of the Star Luo Continent's forging world.
Taking away this Blood Qilin Crystal might cause the younger generation in the forging field of the Star Luo Continent to collapse.
It wasn't that Su Ming was kind-hearted, but rather that the purpose of his trip was to promote the development of the Star Luo Continent's forging world, not to destroy its younger generation.
Rather than wanting this Blood Qilin Crystal, Su Ming was more concerned about its origin.
The Star Luo Continent had its legends. Although its area wasn't large, it possessed various divine beast bloodlines.
Having the Dragon Valley as a reliance, the Qilin bloodline, and the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox was already sufficient to illustrate the point.
"Tong Yu, whose Martial Spirit could mutate into the Five Elements Qilin, plus this Blood Qilin Crystal, is enough to prove that there are traces of the Qilin on the Star Luo Continent."
Not to mention a living Qilin, but at the very least, its cultivation before death was extremely high, and its bloodline was extremely pure.
The power it left behind after death wouldn't stop at just one Blood Qilin Crystal and human bloodlines infected by its blood.
"It's hard for normal Spirit Masters to find, but I can sense changes in fortune; perhaps I can search for it."
Lin Yuhan saw Su Ming looking so sure of himself and gritted her teeth.
"Don't be so arrogant. Since I dare to challenge you, I must have some skill."
She led Su Ming away from the noisy deck, found the area specially prepared for blacksmiths on the ship, paid a high rental fee, and entered a forging room.
"Let's each prepare our own materials and use our most skilled methods to forge, then compare the quality of the final product."
"Alright."
Su Ming nodded.
He summoned the Light Sphere and took out a piece of Heavy Silver.
The Light Sphere's body passed through the Heavy Silver, and then one could see this piece of Heavy Silver begin to emit a faint silver light.
Lin Yuhan was dumbfounded.
What kind of technique was this?
The fluctuation of that silver light was the precursor to the awakening of spirituality.
Just by a Spirit Soul passing through the metal, it could achieve this effect?
The Blue Pregnancy Copper in Lin Yuhan's hand fell to the ground.
Her understanding of forging instantly collapsed.
"This is the power of the Spirit Fusion Method. Practicing this technique to an extreme depth allows the Spirit Soul to assimilate with the rare metal, instantly stirring its spirituality, reducing the difficulty of forging by at least thirty percent."
Although Su Ming explained it this way, in reality, it was also related to the Light Sphere being the Ancestor of Spirit Souls.
Rare metals are not Spirit Souls, but they possess spirituality inside and have the potential to become Spirit Souls.
It seemed like he was stirring the Heavy Silver's spirituality, but in reality, he was enlightening the Heavy Silver. Since the enlightenment wasn't successful, he could only stir its spiritual changes.
But Su Ming wasn't spouting nonsense either. If his Spirit Fusion Method were cultivated to its peak, it indeed had a similar effect, just not to the same extent as his.
"Can I learn it? I'll pay tuition. This Blood Qilin Crystal is the most valuable thing I have."
Lin Yuhan took out the Blood Qilin Crystal again.
Su Ming was speechless.
Young lady, this is your golden finger; can you not be so casual about it?
"I am going to the Star Luo Continent this time with the intention of mutual learning. If you want to learn, you can come and participate then. I will share the forging techniques I have mastered at the Association."
Lin Yuhan bowed.
"Thank you."
She took a deep look at Su Ming and seriously promised, "Once we reach the Star Luo Continent, call my Spirit Communication Device anytime, and I will take you to the place where I found this Blood Qilin Crystal immediately."
She gave her Spirit Communication Device number to Su Ming.
Then, she turned and left.
Even after Lin Yuhan left, Su Ming remained in place, pondering.
"Fortune power..."
[Douluo 2]
"Teacher Yi, how much do you know about Fortune power?"
"Fortune power? To summarize, it's macro-control." Electrolux gave his opinion: "Applied to a specific person, at a specific time, the influence of Fortune is very weak. But when you amplify the quantity and extend the duration of its effect, its impact becomes obvious."
"Why are you suddenly asking about Fortune power? Are you planning to get involved with Fortune?"
"I have some thoughts. After all, according to what you said, Teacher Yi, gathering Fortune is a macro-level enhancement, which would be very useful for the Blacksmith Association."
"That's true. Your Body Sect has flourishing Fortune, but lacks the ability to suppress it." Electrolux nodded and said, "Shrek Academy has the Golden Ancient Tree and also the Sea God, so its Fortune is stable. The Body Sect and Mingde Hall are much worse off. Mingde Hall relies on the Empire, so it's relatively stable, but the Body Sect has nothing to rely on, including its directly affiliated Blacksmith Association, which is like a rootless duckweed."
[Douluo 3]
Su Ming didn't expect Electrolux to have such a perspective.
The Body Sect lacked something to stabilize its Fortune.
"In the Douluo 3 period, the Body Sect is still powerful, but it truly has no Quasi-Gods. Previously, Teacher Han Tianyi was only comparable to a Quasi-God in terms of being troublesome, relying on the special nature of her mental power."
Not wasting too much time on the Qilin and Fortune, Su Ming found Mu Ye and had him take him to search for 100,000-year Spirit Beasts in the sea around the giant ship.
He was indeed very concerned about this point.
One Spirit Soul providing multiple Spirit Rings is not making full use of the Spirit Soul, but rather a waste of the Spirit Master's Spirit Ring slots.
The younger Su Ming was ignorant and gave Little Gold and the Light Sphere three Spirit Ring slots each. Now he wouldn't do that.
Chunqiu and Hunyuan each provided Su Ming with one 100,000-year Spirit Ring and one 100,000-year Spirit Bone, totaling four Spirit Skills, basically squeezing dry everything they could provide to Su Ming. Continuing to squeeze them would just be recombining things Su Ming already had, which was meaningless.
"As expected of the deep sea. Following the ship's route, we can find a 100,000-year Spirit Beast about every three days."
Even in the Douluo Continent of the Douluo 2 period, the density wasn't this high.
"The ocean is full of dangers. There's no concept of accumulating foundation here. If you can increase your cultivation, you do it; otherwise, you don't know when you might be devoured by a more powerful Sea Spirit Beast." Mu Ye said.
He often went diving to catch fish and was very familiar with the living environment of Sea Spirit Beasts.
"What about this Thunderclap Shark? The Thunder attribute is very close to Destruction; it might enhance your comprehension of the Power of Destruction."
"No."
Su Ming wasn't considering this kind of stacking of single elemental attributes.
After a full month of searching, discovering eleven 100,000-year Spirit Beasts in total, Su Ming still hadn't found a Sea Spirit Beast that caught his eye.
"Sea God Faith!"
He activated the Sea God Faith.
What could be confirmed was that the quality of the 100,000-year Spirit Beasts Su Ming encountered afterwards began to improve.
Until they encountered a Fierce Beast.
"Deep Sea Demon Squid, possesses extremely strong recovery abilities, has the Life attribute, and is also a Mental attribute. What do you think?"
Mu Ye was quite excited.
This Fierce Beast undoubtedly suited Su Ming.
As long as Su Ming said it was good, he would immediately fuse with his Battle Armor and Mecha to control the Deep Sea Demon Squid.
"No."
Su Ming shook his head.
The Deep Sea Demon Squid wouldn't provide a small improvement for him, but the changes it would bring wouldn't be significant.
It couldn't improve his mechanics, only increase his stats by a little bit. It wasn't very meaningful.
Su Ming deeply understood that to become stronger, both mechanics and stats were essential.
Each Spirit Ring slot was an opportunity for a Spirit Master to add mechanics to their Martial Spirit; it couldn't be wasted.
