Soul Land III: Legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 8 – Learn To Forge

“Wait a minute.” Tang Ziran called Tang Wulin.

Is that dad?

Tang Ziran patted the chair beside her. “Come and sit down. I have something to discuss with you. ”

Oh. Tang Wulin left, sitting beside his father while looking at him suspiciously.

Tang Ziran said, “Son, you chose the path to become a Soul Master so that father will support you. However, you must understand that you will face many challenges. This includes not only your studies, but also at home. ”

“After a Soul Master cultivates to rank 10, they will need a soul ring to break through. In the past, you could obtain soul rings by hunting beasts. However, ten thousand years later, that is, now, we have discovered through research that the spirit soul is higher than the soul ring. In fact, high-tier spirit souls can have the ability to grow, moreover, they can be artificially produced. Thus, a spirit soul was equivalent to a soul ring. Various levels of spirit souls can provide a Soul Master with one or more soul rings. However, to us ordinary people, we can only purchase them from the Soul Pagoda. ”

“Dad can't do anything with my meager wages. I made just enough to support our household. However, with the addition of Na’er and how much the two of you ate, father would find it difficult to purchase even the lowest grade spirit soul for you when you develop a rank 10 soul power.

“There are two methods to obtain spirit souls from the Spirit Pagoda. The first was to become a genius Soul Master with an extremely fast cultivation speed. Those geniuses would be given their first spirit souls for free. However, it was clear that your Bluesilver Grass would not be qualified for the occasion. Therefore, we only have a second method to buy one. ”

Tang Wulin was dumbfounded at the words of his father. He had never thought about this matter before. Absolutely right! The Soul Master needs a soul ring.the soul ring can be obtained from a soul being or from a spirit soul. Soul beasts were extremely rare now, making it extremely difficult to obtain high-grade soul rings from them. His only option was to buy one.

As a six-year-old, his concept of money was still very weak, but money problems were now forced upon him.

“What should I do, dad?”

Tang Ziran laughed bitterly, “This is the extent of father's ability. In the next few years, dad will work hard to earn enough money to at least help you out a little. However, you still have to rely on your own efforts. Do you still remember Uncle Mang Tian? ”

“I remember! Wasn't he the one who visited us before? ” The image of a tall and rough middle-aged man appeared in Tang Wulin's mind.

Tang Ziran said, “Uncle Mang Tian is an incredible blacksmith. I've told him about our circumstances and he says that he can give you the opportunity to intern under his guidance. For two hours every day, for the next three months, he will teach you. If you can fake some simple things after three months, then you will be able to make money. ”

Tang Wulin's eyes twinkled. “I want to do it Dad. When can I start? ”

Tang Ziran meaningfully looked at him and said, “Forging is a very difficult profession. Do you really want to do this? ”

Tang Wulin nodded. “I can do that! I'll get the money to buy my own spirit soul. ”

Tang Ziran smiled in response. “Good. You can go and try it. If it doesn't work for you, you can stop. ”

“Good. I'm gonna go meditate then dad. ”

After Tang Wulin returned to his room, a drop of liquid fell onto Tang Ziran's shoulder. He turned to look at his teary-eyed wife.

“Wulin is very young, why do you have to do this? If we live frugally, we should be able to help him save some money for the spirit soul. ” Said Lang Yue, choked by emotion. She had never fought /against her husband before, but this time…

Tang Ziran sighed. “It is really too difficult to become a Soul Master with Bluesilver Grass. Blacksmithing was a skill, Lin Lin was young yet had a strong character. Blacksmithing can be more than just forging metals, but it can also serve to soften itself in the process. If he could really survive through this predicament, he would have another way to make money when he grew up. Furthermore, he could strengthen himself. It really has too many advantages and no disadvantages for him, you also understand our circumstances. I'm just afraid that one day, we will…. Of course it would be great if Lin Lin managed to obtain Mang Tian's approval, his job status would be higher than mine. ”

The next morning, after saying goodbye to her mother and Na’er, Tang Wulin rushed to the school in high spirits.

Soul Master does not learn about the topic of Soul Master every day. Instead, they alternated between the topic of the Soul Master and the culture class. Today is the cultural class.

Tang Wulin was very clever. He listened to the lecture intently and even got words of praise from his cultural teacher.

“Why did mom come to pick me up? Where's Na’er? ” After the end of the school day, Tang Wulin was greeted with a sight of Lang Yue.

A thread of regret was present in Lang Yue's eyes. With quick steps, he walked over and carried his son.

“Hurry up and let me down, mother. I've grown up. You embarrassed me in front of my classmates! ”

Lang Yue laughed out loud, “No matter how big you are, you will always be my son. I'm here to take you to Uncle Mang Tian. Do you really want to learn blacksmithing? ”

Tang Wulin nodded. “One stays! Dad said that men can only rely on themselves. I want to earn money for my Soul. ”

Lang Yue lowered his son and crouched down in front of him. “Son, if you can't survive through ten million difficulties, then mom will find a job to help you buy spirit soul.”

“No, I want to get my own money.” Tang Wulin firmly said.

Lang Yue struggled against her own tears, instead, she repeatedly kissed her son's face. “Good. Let's go.”

Basically, Glorybound City is big but there is no need to use a vehicle. After walking for about 20 minutes, Lang Yue and Tang Wulin arrived in front of the rather large workshop door.

The exterior of the workshop looked rather seedy. Above, three words are written, and,

Mang Tian Workshop. ”

Even when they were in front of the door, the smell of metal struck their nostrils.

Lang Yue pressed the doorbell, and not long after that the door opened. Standing in the doorway was a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was tall and dark-skinned. With his thick beard, he looked rather fierce and tough.

“His sister has arrived,” her deep voice is low and strong. Listening to it, Tang Wulin felt a slight buzz.

“Uncle Mang Tian,” he politely called his uncle, whom he had met several times before.

“En,” Mang Tian expressionlessly nodded. Looking at Lang Yue she said, “The sister of the woman should return first, you can pick her up two hours later.”

“Kakak Mang Tian, thank you for your problem.” Lang Yue, a little unwilling, parted with her son, looking at him one last time. He wanted to say something, but in the end he gritted his teeth and held back.
