Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 259 Ether Platinum
Mina led Yun Ming up all the way. From the Soul Master guards on the bottom floor, to the Soul King guards between the second and third floors, and finally to the two Soul Saint guards between the third and fourth floors, it was said that they were disciples of the president of the Blacksmith Association. It was obvious that the higher you went, the more important the level here was.

But in this era, blacksmiths only make household utensils or ordinary weapons. Does the Blacksmith Association need Soul Kings and Soul Saints to guard the door? What? Are you afraid that outsiders will covet the top-level kitchen knives you just made? Yun Ming knew very well that blacksmithing in this era was just ordinary forging, and even spiritual forging metals had not yet appeared, so he did not quite understand the Blacksmith Association's approach.

On the other side, after Mina communicated with the two Godly Craftsman disciples who were guarding the gate, Silong and Siyu, she said goodbye to Yun Ming and left. The top management would be personally responsible for what happened next.

The guard on the left, the master craftsman disciple named Silong, said politely after returning Yun Ming's list.

"Sir, all your items are rare metals, and the quantity is too large. Please follow me to the fifth floor to discuss with the president in detail!"

"it is good."

Yun Ming couldn't help himself, so he responded and followed Silong.

There was no guard between the fourth and fifth floors. There was only a big door blocking the staircase. Yun Ming couldn't tell what the door was made of, but he knew it was probably an alloy of many kinds of metals.

Silong walked to the alloy door, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door. He knocked very rhythmically. Every position that Silong's fingers tapped was different, and the strength was also different, and the inside of the metal door was also different. It made a slight mechanical sound.

Watching his actions, Yun Ming couldn't help but frown. Here it comes again. There are Soul Saints guarding below, and there is also a mechanical door above. He really doesn't know what the role of this is for the Blacksmith Association.

After Silong knocked a total of thirty-six times, the metal door made a rattling sound and slowly opened to the side, revealing the passage upstairs.

Later, under Silong's leadership, Yun Ming climbed to the highest floor of the Blacksmith Association, the mysterious fifth floor. He wanted to see what was there that was worthy of the association's protection.

Silong saw Yun Ming observing the environment on the fifth floor and explained in a low voice.

"In fact, this fifth floor is the private casting area exclusively for the high-level blacksmiths of the Blacksmith Association. Every blacksmith above the Grandmaster level will have his own place here."

Yun Ming: "It's pretty good."

Yun Ming couldn't understand the practice of using a gold-inlaid jade box to store fine iron. Forget it, let's talk about business.

When Silong heard Yun Ming's praise, he felt proud and said with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, sir. Please come in."

There was only a simple number outside the door of each foundry. From the outermost to the innermost, there were a total of thirty-six foundries. Silong brought Yunming to the innermost foundry No. 1 and stopped. He stood respectfully by the door and raised his hand to knock on the metal door.

There was no forging sound coming from the foundry. When Silong knocked on the door, an irritable voice suddenly came from inside.

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago that no one is allowed to disturb me?"

Silong hurriedly said respectfully.

"Teacher, it's me. I'm sorry to bother you, but there is a business deal that we can't make, so we have to inform you. Please forgive me."

Silong's words came in, and the irritable voice disappeared. Not long after, accompanied by a series of mechanical sounds, the wide iron door slowly slid open, revealing the bright room inside.

The person who opened the door was a short and fat old man, about 1.6 meters tall, but his waistline was probably also 1.6 meters, with protruding ears, small eyes, and a head of messy short hair that looked like it hadn't been washed for many days. He was wearing a loose robe, and there was something like metal powder on his fat face. This short and fat old man was the current president of the Blacksmith Association, the master craftsman Lou Gao.

Lou Gao glanced at Silong, then turned his gaze to Yun Ming and spoke.

"Come in, my friend."

Yun Ming followed Lou Gao into the large foundry room. Si Long did not come in, but quietly retreated, as he still had his own post to stick to.

The foundry room looked very messy. But the place was really big, more than 500 square meters, with all kinds of messy metals placed everywhere on both sides. In the corner, a dark foundry furnace and a bellows of the same color caught Yun Ming's attention. The foundry furnace gave him a feeling of chill. It was made of an alloy mainly made of black iron, which was not bad. Yun Ming commented
In the center of the room was a circular platform. This platform looked more like a huge metal pillar standing there. It was only one meter high and looked extremely solid. On it was a fist-sized piece of silver-white metal with mysterious runes on it. It looked a little hazy. Seeing this thing, Yun Ming was a little surprised. It turned out to be this thing! !

Lou Gao led Yun Ming to his desk and wanted to greet him. But when he followed Yun Ming's line of sight, he found that he was staring at the mysterious metal he had accidentally obtained two days ago, so he put aside his business for the time being and spoke with interest.

"My friend, do you know what metal that is?"

Although Lou Gao felt that the boy in front of him was not even recognized by him, it was not bad enough, but what if?

Hearing Lou Gao's question, Yun Ming did not hide it just because it was very valuable, and answered seriously.

"This is Ether Platinum, a particularly precious and rare metal."

Ether platinum is an extremely special and rare metal. The hardness, toughness, and soul power conductivity of this metal are all at the top level among metals, but it also has a most special and powerful characteristic, metal upgrade.

Judging by the amount of metal required for a set of battle armor, if a little bit of ether platinum is mixed in during the forging process, not much, just about one twentieth of the piece in front of him, it is enough to improve the quality of the forged metal by a level, and it can work no matter what level of metal it is. So it is also known as the king of auxiliary materials among metals.

It can help metals increase their upper limit. In the future, when battle armor is highly valued, its preciousness can be imagined. And because the output of this metal is extremely rare, its price in the future is also outrageous, 500,000 gold soul coins per gram, that is its price. Today, Yun Ming was surprised to see such a large piece here.

When Lou Gao heard that Yun Ming really answered, and it seemed that he really knew the answer, his eyes lit up and he continued to ask excitedly.

"Then I wonder what this ether platinum is used for and how to use it?"

As a forging enthusiast, he was very enthusiastic about discovering a metal he had never heard of before. However, he tried every means to fiddle with it and study its properties and uses these days, but he couldn't do it.

No matter how high the temperature of the flame was, it could not soften it at all. It was extremely hard. Even if Lou Gao found a Soul Saint with an axe spirit, he was unable to split it. It was completely impossible to separate it. This made him very angry, but also more curious.

Seeing that Lou Gao had asked the question, Yun Ming could naturally tell him, but there were conditions.

"Yes, I can tell you everything about this Ether Platinum, and even forge it here at your place, but the condition is that I want to buy the entire piece of Ether Platinum."

Originally, Lou Gao was quite excited when Yun Ming said he could tell him about the information about the Ether Platinum, but Yun Ming's condition was to buy all of them, which made him a little unacceptable.
