Tuoba Yan nodded happily.
Lingyuan Douluo is a Titled Douluo and an elder in the Elder Hall.
There's no need to delve into Lingyuan Douluo's combat strength.
Even if he is the most ordinary Titled Douluo, Lingyuan Douluo has one vote in the Elder Hall of the Spirit Hall whenever a major decision is made.
Tuoba Yan has already thought about his future path.
The Spirit Hall is full of experts and has more than ten Titled Douluo.
Under the leadership of the crazy Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall's style of doing things has always been that those who obey me will prosper, and those who disobey me will perish.
Neither rebelling nor leaving the Spirit Hall is realistic.
It may even become the cause of the Tuoba family's destruction.
The mainland is in a three-way balance of power.
With chaos looming, the best course of action for Tuoba Yan was to go with the flow.
The weak need to rely on the strong, take advantage of the situation to climb to higher levels, and even realize the grand ambition of unifying the world.
The life stories of Zhu Yuanzhang, Shen Wansan and others are all living references.
Tuoba Yan had figured it out: he wanted to become Pope in the future and take control of the Spirit Hall. Only by seizing the power of the mad Bibi Dong could he hope to prevent his grandfather's tragic death and break the Spirit Hall's curse of destruction.
The Pope's Palace is a puppet of the Elders' Palace.
Pope Bibi Dong is not a puppet.
Tuoba Yan analyzed the reasons why Bibi Dong got rid of her puppet identity.
1. Bibi Dong is a Titled Douluo. She is a member of the Elder Hall and has a certain say in the Elder Hall.
2. Bibi Dong gained the support of many elders including the Second and Third Elders of the Elder Hall.
3. Putting aside the cause of death of the previous Pope Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong is openly Qian Daoliu's daughter-in-law. The Qian family members who are unaware of the truth are willing to support Bibi Dong.
In this regard, Tuoba Yan also analyzed his own advantages.
His grandfather was Tuoba Xi, who was in charge of the very important Soul Hunting Brigade of the Spirit Hall.
His mother is a direct disciple of the Spirit Hall and the niece of Qian Daoliu. His becoming the Pope is in the best interests of the Qian family.
If he wanted to "compete" with Bibi Dong for the position of Pope, if he used some more tricks, he was confident that the members of the Qian family would support him as Pope.
Then only the Elder Hall was left.
Lingyuan Douluo is a Titled Douluo after all. Establishing a good relationship with her in advance will only be beneficial to your future path.
Leaning too close to Lingyuan Douluo, the faint fragrance of virginity drifted into Tuoba Yan's nostrils, stimulating Tuoba Yan's olfactory nerves.
Moreover, Lingyuan Douluo is a beautiful woman who is still a virgin.
"What are the unique features of the other two items?"
A pleasant sound like a bell rang out from beside Tuoba Yan.
A gray, dirty-looking crystal had such magical properties. Lingyuan Douluo was curious about the other two items Tuoba Yan bought.
Tuoba Yan didn't say much. He used his third soul skill and punched the blue stone.
The tables and chairs shook and seemed to be about to break, but the stone remained intact.
An excited voice came from Tuoba Yan's throat.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is a ten-thousand-year-old frost-hardened stone."
"Its growth is extremely difficult."
"Existing in the ice and snow, born deep in the earth, it has been tempered, fused, compressed, and sculpted countless times by the power of the earth."
"A thousand years to form, ten thousand years to become a character."
"When fully developed, its color is deep blue. Even after experiencing intense fire, it remains indestructible."
As Tuoba Yan was speaking, he suddenly stopped.
Lingyuan Douluo asked curiously, "And then, what's it used for?"
Tuoba Yan reached out and picked up the Frost-Condensed Cold Stone, about the size of a basketball and weighing five hundred jin, from the table. He excitedly replied, "Naturally, it's for weapon forging!"
Lingyuan Douluo said with disdain, "Weapon refining, strange and tricky skills!"
As a esteemed Soul Master, Ling Yuan Douluo looked down upon the unorthodox practices of the Blacksmith Association.
Tuoba Yan shook his head slightly, not arguing with Lingyuan Douluo.
Compared to the plate crystal that intercepted Tang San's opportunity, Tuoba Yan was more interested in the Frost Condensed Cold Stone in his hand.
The reason is simple. Among the twelve talismans of the Holy Lord's martial spirit, there is a rat talisman that is more terrifying than the puppeteer's.
Lingyuan Douluo picked up the dagger on the table and held it some distance from her nose. Because of the Spirit Hall, she could still smell a faint smell of horse urine.
"What's so special about this dagger?"
As he spoke, Lingyuan Douluo handed the dagger in his hand to Tuoba Yan.
Tuoba Yan took the dagger, smiled, and said, "This is a fake."
"Then what?"
"The dagger cuts through iron like mud. The forger lacked the necessary knowledge and misused a good item."
"Take a real thing and turn it into a fake thing?"
Lingyuan Douluo was dumbfounded.
As a Titled Douluo, Lingyuan Douluo also has some antiques in his home.
She had heard that the antique market was treacherous, with fakes often appearing. She'd used some techniques to turn worthless items into something that could be sold at a high price.
It was the first time that Ling Yuan Douluo heard of such a strange thing as making a real thing into a fake one.
Tuoba Yan corrected himself, "Aunt Lingyuan, what you said is not entirely correct. I didn't explain it clearly. The material used to make bronze ware contains red copper."
"He who lies knows only one side of the story, not the other."
"Red copper also has different qualities."
"Among the top-grade red copper, the celestial black copper is the rarest."
"The appearance of the outermost copper is indistinguishable from ordinary red copper. It's only slightly heavier. Without experience, it's impossible to tell the difference based on weight. The easiest way to tell them apart is by roasting them in a fierce fire."
"If it turns purple during scorching, it's celestial black copper. If it turns red, crimson, or rose red, it's ordinary black copper!"
Tuoba Yan used a sharp tool to rub off the patina on the dagger's surface. Then, with a flick of his wrist, a cluster of red flames appeared in his palm.
When the deliberately fake dagger was thrown into the flame, it turned purple-red under the high temperature.
Legend has it that the black copper from outer space contains the power of the stars.
Of course, no one can extract the power of stars from it. This is the ability that gods should possess.
Tuoba Yan was excited because when he reached level 40, the soul beast he hunted was a rat. He wanted to possess the Rat Talisman.
In his conjecture, he believed that awakening the statue of the god, a statue made of high-quality ore, would increase its combat power.
Even some statues of gods cast from special minerals may have some unexpected magical effects.
"Yeah, I made a profit!"
Lingyuan Douluo admired Tuoba Yan for the first time.
Tuoba Yan not only made money, he made a fortune.
The value of the crystal plate has exceeded two million gold soul coins. In addition, the dagger made of Frost Condensation Stone and Celestial Copper far exceeds the value of the two thousand gold soul coins spent.
The next day, Tuoba Yan and Lingyuan Douluo left the Rose Hotel. When they passed by the square, they met Flanders.
