Douluo Continent: The True Body and Blood Soul, Starting from Blacksmithing

Chapter 145 Missed Opportunity, Want to Sell Hidden Weapons

Xiao Wu, who had just escaped from Lin Yu's courtyard, turned around and saw Tang San carrying a bundle and walking towards Lin Yu's courtyard.

Their eyes met, and both of them froze for a moment, the air seeming to freeze for a few breaths. In the end, Tang San spoke first, his voice carrying a hint of feigned ease and calmness.

"Xiao Wu, I've found a way to make money quickly. We'll be rich soon."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu lowered her head, her toes shuffling nervously on the ground, her shoe soles grinding against a small pebble that rolled back and forth.

Her voice was very low, as if she were talking to the ground: "Then—Third Brother, when you have money, you must take good care of yourself."

Upon hearing this, Tang San felt a sharp pang in his heart, but he still forced a smile and nodded.

"I will, Xiao Wu. You take good care of yourself too."

Xiao Wu nodded almost imperceptibly with her head down, and then the two of them started walking almost simultaneously, slowing down and passing each other.

Only after sensing Xiao Wu's figure disappear around the corner did Tang San stop and slowly turn his head to look in that direction. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he sighed silently in his heart.

From Xiao Wu's current physique, and the times and places she enters and leaves Lin Yu's courtyard, Tang San could vaguely guess what kind of person she was.

What's the situation? He couldn't accuse Xiao Wu of being immoral.

You have to understand that their life in Notting City was not wealthy. Suddenly, they came to Tiandou City and came into contact with the richest and most powerful people in Tiandou City. Even he, a reborn adult, was almost blinded by the prosperity of Tiandou City. How much more so Xiao Wu, who was used to living a hard life with him.

Of course, it's also his own fault for being too engrossed in cultivation when he first arrived in Tiandou City, and failing to take care of Xiao Wu's changes in time.

It wasn't until he discovered that Xiao Wu had started to curry favor with the Crown Prince of Tian Dou that he realized something was wrong!

But he couldn't say anything, because the eldest prince was Lin Yu's friend, and it seemed that Lin Yu relied on the eldest prince more.

If Xiao Wu was merely trying to please the First Prince, Tang San could console himself that although the First Prince of Tian Dou held a high position and great power, based on his past performance, his future strength was likely limited. Once he was stronger, he could leave with Xiao Wu.

But he didn't expect that Xiao Wu not only colluded with the First Prince, but also had a close relationship with Lin Yu. It seemed that Lin Yu had been guiding him in cultivating his twin martial souls and taking him to see his few remaining relatives in the world—

Although they were not formally master and disciple, they were in fact master and disciple in some respects.

If Lin Yu were his master, Tang San would indeed be willing to acknowledge the saying "A teacher for a day is a father for life" given his current actions. It's just a pity that Lin Yu is only three or four years older than him!

With such a small age gap, some problems are unavoidable.

If it were anyone else, Tang San would have tried to struggle and see if he could get Xiao Wu out of the fire, but facing Lin Yu—he couldn't bring himself to speak, let alone the fact that he needed Lin Yu's help!

Gritting his teeth, Tang San finally pushed open the door and walked into Lin Yu's courtyard.

It wasn't until the door creaked shut that Xiao Wu, who had been hiding around the corner, poked her head out.

Xiao Wu was very grateful to Tang San, because if it weren't for Tang San's father saving her once before, she might have been captured by a Title Douluo.

But—gratitude aside, the two are now on different paths. As long as she sacrifices herself when that person becomes a Soul Saint and becomes his Soul Ring, she will be qualified to enter the God Realm.

Although he didn't know why that person was unwilling to take things further with him, and even disdainfully handed him over to Lin Yu, it was a chance to enter the realm of gods and achieve eternal life!

He couldn't possibly refuse!

Looking at the hidden weapons Tang San had displayed, Lin Yu couldn't help but gasp. This was because Tang San actually wanted to use his name and connections to help him sell these hidden weapons.

The Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and the hidden arrow are likely to be very sophisticated in the context of Douluo Continent, making them extremely difficult to crack.

But Lin Yu only needed to extend his mental energy inward to see the entire internal structure clearly. In his previous life, Lin Yu was just an ordinary person, so he was naturally very curious about such mechanical things.

Not only was Lin Yu curious, but the Golden Armored Dragon Crocodile spirit, which had been hidden in Lin Yu's lungs, was also extremely curious about Tang San's mechanical weapons. As for why it was curious, it was mainly because of the conclusions drawn by Lan Xue, who had taken the lead in the experiment.

She discovered that if the spirit is integrated into a weapon containing its original skeleton, the original abilities of the spirit beast and the properties of the metal can be maximized.

Furthermore, with the soul merging into a weapon containing their own bones, there was still a sliver of possibility of regaining a physical body in the future. After that, the two remaining souls within Lin Yu began to conceive of the weapons they wanted to become.

Normally, besides helping Lin Yu clear his internal organs, the two of them would discuss which weapon to choose in the future.

Unexpectedly, the Golden Armored Dragon Crocodile took a liking to the hidden weapons provided by Tang San at first glance.

Originally, Lin Yu planned to use the Golden Armored Dragon Crocodile's bones to forge a shield, given its defensive prowess. However, since it favored Tang San's mechanical hidden weapons, Lin Yu naturally wouldn't interfere. Hidden weapons were actually quite good; after all, as a blacksmith, Lin Yu would certainly not lack weapons in the future, but he only had two hands and couldn't hold that many. Hidden weapons could perfectly compensate for this weakness.

While helping Jin Kailong Crocodile record the internal structure of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and the Silent Sleeve Arrow, Lin Yu worked with Tang San to refine the plan for selling the weapons.

"Little San, the fact that you thought of selling your weapons to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School shows you've done your homework. You know the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School needs your hidden weapons more than other factions. However, rushing to give your weapons to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be a waste. My suggestion is to list them on the Heavenly Dou Auction House first, showcase their effects at the auction, and once you've built up your reputation, just wait for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to come knocking."

Hearing Lin Yu's plan, Tang San felt somewhat relieved. Lin Yu's suggestion could indeed maximize profits. He had been too eager to make money and hadn't thought about it that much.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Yu. But—Brother Yu, I've discovered that cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul requires absorbing a lot of nutrients, so I might need some money during this period. How about we split the profits from selling the hidden weapons 40/60? You take 60%, and I'll take 40%."

Lin Yu just smiled when asked about the distribution of profits. Tang San, that kid, has finally come to his senses and is starting to think about eating and drinking well.

Lin Yu naturally wouldn't refuse; after all, it wouldn't hurt to satisfy a dying man's basic cravings.

Lin Yu would never forget that his first contact with Tang San was out of curiosity about the cultivation process of twin martial souls, and he wanted to learn some of the skills that Tang San had mastered.

At this stage, he has almost figured out what he was curious about, and keeping Tang San around is only to temporarily appease Tang Hao. Once Tang Hao is dealt with, Lin Yu will decisively take action against Tang San.

Just as Lin Yu was plotting how to make a profit from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School through Tang San, Tang Hao had already pulled up his hood and quietly left Yuexuan.
