Chapter 352: Selecting Immortal Herbs
Half an hour later, Ning Fengzhi, who had prepared a banquet to treat Yang Wudi, looked at the man still standing empty-handed in the middle of the immortal herbs, feeling speechless.
"Elder Yang, are you going to choose or not?"
"Uh, Sect Master, don't blame me for being indecisive. I truly don't know where to start."
Yang Wudi turned around with a helpless expression, looking at Ning Fengzhi. It was like suddenly giving a beggar a large sum of money and expecting him to know how to spend it—he was completely overwhelmed, unable to move forward in the sea of treasures.
Ning Fengzhi could only smile bitterly and rubbed his forehead. He turned his gaze toward Ning Bei, suspecting that Yang Wudi could stand there for an entire month without making a decision.
When Yang Wudi noticed Ning Bei's gaze on him, he immediately panicked. His soul power became disordered.
"Second Young Master, you can't just let Old Yang keep struggling like this."
"Then why don't you choose?" Ning Bei repeated the same words again, making Yang Wudi even more troubled.
"Well..."
"Second Young Master, look at this Hunyuan Grass. For our Broken Soul Gun, it's a rare treasure, unmatched in the world. With just a little refining, it can help the younger generation of the Yang family's martial spirits make a tremendous leap in potential."
He was well aware of the herb's effects and nodded, his face expressionless.
"Then take it."
"But Second Young Master, if this Phoenix Sunflower is used in medicine and taken by the younger generation of our family, it might even awaken a fire attribute for the Broken Soul Gun. The power would be immense."
"Then take two of them."
"Second Young Master, what about the Nether Ghost Orchid..."
"You can take three together."
"And this Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum..."
"Take four together; I have no objections."
"And the Yōuxiāng Qīluó Immortal品, and the Xiāngsī Duànchánghóng..."
Ning Bei rubbed his forehead, then turned to look at Ning Fengzhi.
"Father, how about we..."
While speaking, he made a gesture with his left hand, mimicking a slicing motion, causing Ning Fengzhi and the other two to nod in agreement. They were also getting fed up with this old man; a mere Soul Douluo could be so troublesome.
"No, no, no, Sect Master, Second Young Master, and two venerable elders, I've made my decision."
Seeing that their patience was running out, Yang Wudi, afraid of losing everything, immediately exploded with the speed of a Soul Douluo and quickly took five of the immortal herbs.
The herbs were: Hunyuan Grass, Phoenix Sunflower, Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, Nether Ghost Orchid, and Yōuxiāng Qīluó Immortal品. Returning to the group, Yang Wudi's gaze still lingered on the central Xiāngsī Duànchánghóng, as if saying goodbye to a beloved, as though he were about to embark on a long journey.
Although Xiāngsī Duànchánghóng was the king of immortal herbs, its consumption was highly restricted. As the head of the family, Yang Wudi decided to take the visible benefits first.
After waving his hand to put away the hundreds of immortal herbs in the Dan Tower, Ning Bei, irritated, looked at Yang Wudi.
"Alright, Elder Yang, didn't I say that if you want more immortal herbs in the future, you can contribute to the sect?"
"Yes, Second Young Master, the Broken Soul Clan will do its best."
Yang Wudi instantly wiped away the lingering reluctance from his heart. As Ning Bei said, there would still be opportunities in the future.
With the Broken Soul Clan now part of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the sect's foundation had been strengthened. During the banquet, the hosts and guests enjoyed themselves and discussed various matters regarding the clan's migration, which was no longer something Ning Bei needed to worry about.
After everything was settled, Yang Wudi cautiously looked at Ning Bei.
"Second Young Master, what would happen if Old Yang had not agreed to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Ning Bei set down his wine cup, a smile appearing on his face as nine soul rings belonging to the Dan Tower appeared around him.
Two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red soul rings instantly blinded Yang Wudi's eyes. The pressure of an extreme Soul Douluo was overwhelming, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Elder Yang, let's speak plainly. Originally, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had already arranged with the Heaven Dou Empire to reshuffle all sect forces. For those not in our camp..."
"Elder Yang, since you have chosen to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you must not hesitate. As the head of a family, ensuring the best outcome for your clan's development is the way to go."
There were things Ning Bei didn't say directly, but as a smart man, Yang Wudi could easily catch the underlying meaning. After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he once again respectfully cupped his hands toward Ning Bei.
"Don't worry, Second Young Master. Since I've promised you, I won't go back on my word. The Broken Soul Gun's Yang Wudi still has some credibility."
"Hehe, I'm not worried about Elder Yang going back on his word. Don't take offense; I'm just giving you some confidence."
As he spoke, Ning Bei retracted his glowing soul rings, making Yang Wudi feel a sense of relief. He silently marveled at how reassuring it was to see three 100,000-year soul rings—something unheard of.
Including Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo beside him, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect already had three powerful Title Douluo on the surface. Moreover, these three individuals were supported by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower, a freakishly powerful auxiliary martial soul, which would exponentially increase their combat strength.
Yang Wudi had a feeling that this wasn't all the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's strength. There must be hidden cards yet to be revealed.
These things weren't too relevant to him. All he needed to do was help the Broken Soul Clan refine medicine, complete sect tasks, and exchange them for immortal herbs to ensure the clan's prosperity.
As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's ambitions, Yang Wudi figured as long as they didn't sell out the Broken Soul Clan like the Haotian Clan, he was fine with following wherever they led.
"By the way, Elder Yang, I believe your relationships with the other two families are quite good. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also intends to accept the other two families."
Upon hearing this, Yang Wudi's heart skipped a beat. Two families? They were supposedly the four major single-attribute sects, so which one had been excluded?
Yang Wudi immediately began to suspect and secretly mourned for the old orangutan. The Li Family had already run into bad luck due to the Haotian Clan. Not only had they been suppressed by the Spirit Hall, but now, Heaven Dou and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were going to make their lives difficult too.
Although the heads of the four families had always been on good terms, when it came to the fate of his own family, Yang Wudi couldn't afford to casually intervene. Since the other family had been excluded, there must have been a reason for it.
"Yes, Second Young Master. I have some connections with Bai He and Niu Gao. If the sect really intends to accept them, I believe those two old fellows would agree. I can also participate in the negotiations."
Upon hearing Yang Wudi not mention the Titan Clan, Ning Bei silently praised his wisdom. He raised his wine cup toward him.
"Then I'll trouble Elder Yang. If we can successfully take in the other two families, I'll remember the Broken Soul Clan's contribution."
"Then I'll thank you in advance, Second Young Master."
Upon hearing this, Yang Wudi's face lit up with joy. He didn't care about the contributions of the other two families; he only knew that the Broken Soul Clan's contributions could be exchanged for immortal herbs, and Ning Bei had many things that tempted him.
Given Ning Bei's generosity, just to win over the Broken Soul Clan, he had offered five immortal herbs. Yang Wudi didn't believe that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had no hidden power over the years. Just relying on immortal herbs, they could already cultivate many talents.
By following such a master, the Broken Soul Clan would also have a better future.
