Breaking Clan, Yang Wudi's Troubles

Qian Renxin leaped onto the tiger's back.

After absorbing the energy of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body had grown considerably larger once again.

The three of them—mother and children—could sit on it with ease.

"Come, Xiaoxue. I'll carry you up."

He leaned down, lifted Qian Renxue onto its back, and placed her in front of him, right at the tiger's neck.

"Big tiger..."

Qian Renxue grabbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's ears and tugged them back and forth with great interest.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was rather helpless.

But it had no choice.

A tiger under someone else's roof had no choice but to bow its head.

Bibi Dong also jumped up and sat behind Qian Renxin.

"Tsk. There probably haven't been many Dark Demon Evil God Tigers in the continent's history. A Dark Demon Evil God Tiger of this age could likely suppress even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with certainty. It truly is a top-tier soul beast, no inferior to a true dragon bloodline."

She stroked its fur and gave it high praise.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger raised its head and let out a low cry, seemingly agreeing with her.

That action made them all laugh.

Qian Renxin bent down and patted the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's wings.

"Alright, Xiao An. Time to go."

With a flap of its wings, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger swiftly flew toward the heart of the Heaven Dou Empire.

After traveling for more than ten days, they did not head directly to Heaven Dou City, instead first making a trip to Sunset Forest.

After all, refining medicine required a large quantity of high-quality herbs. What Qian Renxin had brought was far from enough.

When they arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, they quickly entered the interior according to the method from last time.

"What a beautiful place..."

Qian Renxue was the first to exclaim in amazement.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well possessed both the Yin Cold Spring and the Yang Hot Spring. All along the roadside grew vivid, dazzling flowers, and its scenery could be called unparalleled on the continent.

"This must be the treasure ground for harvesting Immortal Herbs..."

Bibi Dong could not help but praise it as well. "I never imagined such a treasure ground could exist in this world."

The group came to the wooden cabin, only to find that Dugu Bo was not there.

With Yue Guan's help, Qian Renxin carried out another sweep. This time, he gathered more than a hundred high-quality medicinal herbs, each of which could fetch an astronomical price outside.

Half of them had quality approaching the threshold of Immortal Herbs, though they still lacked sufficient age and could not compare to the likes of the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.

Not only that, they also picked some peerless poisons along the way.

With superb alchemical techniques, poisons might also have a chance to become useful medicines.

Just as the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot could forge an Ice Fire Physique.

Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, who had come here for the first time, could not stop marveling.

Such a treasure ground was simply absurd...

To any faction, this was practically a Titled Douluo production machine.

Give a talented genius with decent aptitude an Immortal Herb, and barring unforeseen circumstances, they would have an extremely high chance of reaching the Titled Douluo level in their lifetime.

After all, there were only a few dozen Titled Douluo on the entire continent...

After gathering the medicinal herbs they needed, Qian Renxin and the others prepared to head for Heaven Dou City. Sunset Forest was already very close to Heaven Dou City, so there was no need to keep flying any farther.

Besides, a seventy-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was no joke. If it entered the city, it would likely cause unrest.

Qian Renxin had come to do business and did not want to create unnecessary trouble.

He rubbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's head and said, "Xiao An, go wait for us in Sunset Forest first. There may be a few Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts deep in the forest. Go see if you can have a good meal. I'll come find you once I'm done."

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger nodded humanely, then swiftly flew back to Sunset Forest.

About half a day later, Qian Renxin's group arrived in Heaven Dou City.

At present, the Clear Sky Sect had yet to be beaten into closing its gates by Spirit Hall. It was the foremost of the Upper Three Sects in the Heaven Dou Empire and was also known as the continent's number one sect.

Why specifically call it a sect?

Because the undisputed number one power was Spirit Hall.

As one of the four single-attribute clans affiliated with the Clear Sky Sect, they naturally maintained a residence in Heaven Dou City.

Among them, the Breaking Clan had the greatest reputation.

Their inherited martial soul was the Soul Breaking Spear. With a spear in hand, they could crush everything in their path.

Crossing realms in battle, something ordinarily as difficult as ascending to heaven for soul masters, was as simple as eating and drinking for Soul Breaking Spear soul masters.

Of course, every advantage came with its drawback.

Such an overwhelmingly offensive martial soul could never allow its wielder to advance to Titled Douluo in their lifetime.

However, Titled Douluo were rare to begin with, so the Soul Breaking Spear's reputation remained resounding.

Moreover, the Breaking Clan's renown came from far more than the uniqueness of their martial soul.

Their exceptional alchemy techniques were their true foundation.

Nearly more than half of the Heaven Dou Empire's high-grade medicines came from them.

Even some soul masters from the Star Luo Empire were willing to purchase them across national borders.

For that very reason, the Breaking Clan had produced quite a few Spirit Sages. Although Yang Wudi was their sole Soul Douluo as clan head, they were still no minor force.

With such a reputation, Qian Renxin's group found the Breaking Clan's residence without any effort.

Seeing that Qian Renxin and the others carried themselves with extraordinary bearing, and sensing with his Spirit King perception that their Soul Power was unfathomably deep, the guard immediately realized they were people of great importance.

Yet he did not panic. The Breaking Clan was an affiliated clan of the Clear Sky Sect, and their alchemy skills were exceptional. Even the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects often sent people to request medicine from them, so he had seen no shortage of important figures.

"Go summon your clan head, Yang Wudi."

Yue Guan spoke calmly.

Though Yang Wudi was renowned far and wide, known as the strongest Soul Douluo and even capable of clashing with certain Titled Douluo, to Yue Guan, a Super Douluo, he was merely a junior in both strength and seniority. Naturally, Yue Guan called him by name.

"May I ask which sect or clan you honored guests hail from, so that I may report truthfully?"

The guard bowed respectfully and asked.

He certainly could not disturb the clan head based on a single sentence from them.

He needed to know their identities and standing as well, so he could make proper arrangements.

Yue Guan glanced at Qian Renxin.

Qian Renxin slowly nodded.

Since he had come here, he had never intended to conceal his identity.

Yue Guan then took out a token and handed it to the guard. "Give this to your clan head."

The guard accepted the token. His pupils contracted, and after bowing, he hurried into the courtyard.

In the underground chamber within the residence, Yang Wudi was refining medicine, but unconcealed disappointment appeared on his face.

"The Snake Vine Grass is too weakly toxic. I could choose the more poisonous Seven-Step Poison Flower, but even I have no way to withstand that poison..."

Not only was he skilled in refining medicine, he had devoted even more research to the art of poison refinement.

Peerless poisons paired with the Soul Breaking Spear were what allowed him to fear no ordinary Titled Douluo.

Yet during the process of refining medicine, it was inevitable that he would come into contact with poisonous substances.

In other words, some untreated medicinal ingredients were inherently toxic.

This was also one of his greatest concerns.

"Clan Head, someone outside wishes to see you."

At the entrance to the underground chamber, the guard knocked and spoke softly.

"Didn't I say that all visitors were to be turned away while I was in seclusion?"

Yang Wudi frowned.

"But the visitor has a Spirit Hall Elder token."

The guard said nervously.

Spirit Hall's reputation as the continent's strongest power was known throughout the land. Even the Clear Sky Sect was somewhat inferior to it, much less a mere affiliated clan.

Upon hearing the words Spirit Hall, Yang Wudi's furrowed brow relaxed.

As the continent's number one power, and with the visitor possessing an Elder-level status, they indeed warranted interrupting his seclusion.

Moreover, though Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect were known respectively as the number one sect and the number one power, their relationship was not one of irreconcilable hostility. In fact, it was fairly good.

After all, Tang Chen, ancestor of the Clear Sky Sect, and Qian Daoliu, Grand Venerable of Spirit Hall, had once been friends who traveled the continent together.

Yang Wudi put away the medicine furnace before him and discarded the medicinal ingredients that had only been refined halfway.

As he did so, he asked the guard, "How many are there, and what are their distinguishing features?"

"Six people. The one who gave me the elder's token was a blond man, but his appearance was even more bewitching than a woman's," the guard answered truthfully.

"Go bring them in. Have them come to the main hall."

Yang Wudi nodded, then left the underground chamber and headed for the main hall.

After some time, Qian Renxin and the others were led into the main hall by the guard.

Yang Wudi rose to receive them. Standing upright, he cupped his hands in greeting. "I have long heard of Elder Chrysanthemum and Elder Gui Mei's great names."

Gui Mei gave a slight nod in response, too lazy to speak.

"Your reputation, Yang Wudi, is no less impressive," Yue Guan replied with a worldly smile. "But you'll have to address me differently now. I am no longer an elder of Spirit Hall. That elder's token from earlier belonged to Old Gui."

"Hm?"

A flicker of surprise passed through Yang Wudi's eyes. "Chrysanthemum Douluo, you left Spirit Hall?"

Yue Guan shook his head with interest and said, "I am now the Eighth Venerable of the Worship Hall. I was appointed not long ago."
