Douluo: One Thought of God and Demon, Inheriting the Dual God Positions of Good and Evil

Yang Wudi could not hide his surprise.

He had heard of Yue Guan's Soul Power Level before. How had he suddenly become a Spirit Hall Worshiper?

Could he have encountered some great opportunity?

He asked tentatively,

"Congratulations, Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo. Every step forward for a titled Douluo is like crossing mountains and seas. Such a tremendous improvement is truly rare..."

Yue Guan covered his mouth and chuckled, seeing through Yang Wudi's little scheme.

"I won't hide it from you. I broke through two levels in a row, rising from level ninety-four, because I obtained an immortal-grade herb with more than a hundred thousand years of cultivation—the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."

"The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum? More than a hundred thousand years!"

Yang Wudi became so excited that he nearly leaped onto Yue Guan.

"Senior Chrysanthemum, could you reveal where that Immortal Herb is located? Or perhaps whether there are any other Immortal Herbs that can be gathered? I, Yang Wudi, am willing to spend the entire fortune of my clan to buy them!"

Yue Guan gave a soft laugh.

Then he stepped back and stood behind Qian Renxin. "Yang Wudi, don't rush. This is my Young Master. He has something to discuss with you."

Yang Wudi felt as though ants were crawling back and forth over his heart.

Immortal Herbs were unprecedented treasures in this world.

He had spent half his life searching everywhere, yet had failed to find even one. Now that he had finally obtained a clue, his blood naturally rushed to his head.

But there was no helping it.

Yue Guan's status and strength both surpassed his. No matter how impatient he was, he had to proceed step by step.

He turned his gaze to Qian Renxin and spoke respectfully.

"Just say the word. I, Yang Wudi, will do everything in my power to help, so long as you give me a clue about the Immortal Herbs!"

"I have long heard that Clan Head Yang is exceptional at both offense and medicine refinement. I would like to ask Clan Head Yang to refine some medicine for me."

Qian Renxin spoke calmly.

Yang Wudi nodded. There was no reason to refuse business delivered right to his door.

"Will you provide the herbs for me to refine, or would you prefer us to supply the medicine you need directly?"

"Let me mention this first: if it is only for a Soul Elder, medicines of the Breaking Clan's sixth or seventh grade should be sufficient. Higher is not always better. Premium Medicine can only be fully absorbed by at least a Spirit King. Otherwise, it would simply be wasted."

Qian Renxin understood that the other party meant well.

But to him, sixth- or seventh-grade medicine was no different from trash. Absorbing it would just waste time.

Moreover, his physical constitution was already stronger than that of an ordinary Spirit King. He would have no issue absorbing Premium Medicine.

"I will provide the herbs for Clan Head Yang to refine."

"That works as well."

Yang Wudi nodded slowly.

The price for his medicine refinement services was not low, at least tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins per session.

In truth, he normally had no interest in refining medicine for Soul Elders. It was simply too elementary.

But Qian Renxin was the Young Master of Spirit Hall. He could treat it as spending some time to forge a good relationship.

Qian Renxin said nothing more.

He took more than a dozen premium medicinal herbs from his Spatial Soul Tool. Each was around ten thousand years old. Though their quality had not yet reached immortal grade, they were still extraordinarily rare in the mortal world.

He was in no hurry to reveal the Immortal Herbs. This was only their first transaction, so he could not expose his hand too much.

Furthermore, Immortal Herbs were extremely limited in number and possessed far more potent medicinal effects. With Yang Wudi's current medicine-refining ability, he likely could not yet fuse the effects of different Immortal Herbs together.

"Clan Head Yang, let these herbs serve as the ingredients for the first batch of medicine. As for your fee, name your price."

Yang Wudi lifted the dozen or so medicinal herbs with Soul Power, a faint heat flashing in his eyes.

As expected of Spirit Hall, which had endured for ten thousand years. This stockpile was enough to make him green with envy. Any one of these precious herbs could produce several portions of Premium Medicine.

Little did he know that, in Qian Renxin's eyes, these herbs were worthless.

Within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, immortal-grade herbs below the ten-thousand-year level were not even worth cherishing.

"We can discuss the refinement fee later. May I ask whether you have any extra precious herbs? I can exchange Premium Medicine for them."

Yang Wudi asked tentatively.

These precious herbs were considered rare items. Normally, one could only encounter one at an auction in Heaven Dou City.

Qian Renxin smiled and took out several more from his Spatial Soul Tool.

There were plenty of these herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Trading them for some Premium Medicine was putting them to proper use.

Yang Wudi accepted the several precious herbs.

Joy immediately appeared on his face, and he promptly instructed Yang Wushuang beside him.

"Brother, go bring all ten portions of Premium Medicine stored by the clan."

"Ten portions? Brother, are you sure? Some of them are meant to be offered to the elders of the Clear Sky Sect..."

Yang Wushuang was startled and could not help asking.

As a subordinate clan of the Clear Sky Sect, the Breaking Clan naturally could not receive protection for nothing.

They handed over quite a few medicines of seventh grade and above almost every month.

Fortunately, the Breaking Clan's foundations in medicine refinement were deep enough to bear such a burden.

Yang Wudi frowned.

It was not as though those Clear Sky Sect elders had only been leeching off their subordinate clans for a day or two.

Whenever they needed something, they simply sent a pigeon with a message. Forget providing medicinal ingredients—even a single Gold Soul Coin was never seen.

"Leave them alone for now. If anyone holds us accountable, I'll take the blame. Besides, with these precious herbs, are you afraid we cannot refine Premium Medicine? At worst, we will only be late."

Yang Wudi snorted. "They don't provide ingredients or Gold Soul Coins. It is already generous enough that we refine medicine for them!"

Seeing his elder brother act so resolutely, Yang Wushuang's resentment was stirred as well. He nodded and headed for the storeroom.

The Clear Sky Sect Elders Leech Off Others, Yang Wudi's Premium Medicine

Qian Renxin noticed this and asked with interest.

"They provide neither medicinal ingredients nor Gold Soul Coins, yet Clan Head Yang still refines medicine for them?"

"There is no helping it. As a subordinate clan, we must naturally suffer some losses before our main sect. After all, they offer us protection."

Yang Wudi revealed a bitter smile.

With the Clear Sky Sect's name behind them, even the other Upper Three Sects would not dare touch the Breaking Clan. Their medicine business could also grow larger and larger. It could be considered mutual assistance.

Protection from others...

When your main sect abandons you, you will learn your lesson...

Qian Renxin thought.

No wonder Yang Wudi had harbored the deepest resentment toward the Clear Sky Sect in the original story.

It would have been one thing if they merely leached off them in ordinary times. At least they could borrow the tiger's hide to throw their weight around.

The Clear Sky Sect had made an enemy of Spirit Hall, then shut its gates and fled, leaving its subordinate clans, who had held no grudge against Spirit Hall, to bear Spirit Hall's wrath.

That was simply a blood feud!

Yue Guan saw Qian Renxin's intention to recruit him and stepped forward to ask,

"Clan Head Yang, why not join our Spirit Hall? Our discipline is strict, and we guarantee this sort of thing will never happen. Spirit Hall's prestige is no less than that of the Clear Sky Sect."

"Furthermore, Spirit Hall has branch halls throughout the entire continent. The Breaking Clan's medicine need not remain limited to Heaven Dou. You can reach the entire continent, and your prospects for growth will only improve."

"Thank you for your kindness, Chrysanthemum Douluo, but a loyal servant does not serve two masters."

Yang Wudi refused without hesitation.

What Yue Guan said was not without reason.

Spirit Hall was vastly larger than the Clear Sky Sect.

Especially now that the former sect master Tang Chen had disappeared, the two sides' combat power was completely incomparable.

Qian Daoliu alone could wipe out most of the Clear Sky Sect's top-level combatants.

If not for the wager made back then, Spirit Hall might have long since dealt with this thorn in its side.

Though he knew there was a better future to be had,

his stubborn nature still made him unwilling to casually abandon his main sect or become someone without faith or righteousness.

Qian Renxin did not say anything further.

He had more or less anticipated this situation.

Before the Clear Sky Sect actively abandoned its subordinate clans, Yang Wudi would most likely not choose to switch allegiances. After all, he was a loyal and righteous man.

For now, Qian Renxin could only wait and watch for another opportunity.

Very soon,

Yang Wushuang emerged from the storeroom with a small sandalwood box in his hands.

"Brother, all the medicines we refined before are here."

"Mm."

Yang Wudi took the Premium Medicine and opened the small box. A rich medicinal fragrance instantly spread throughout the entire main hall.

"There are five portions of Spirit Gathering Pills here. They can double the cultivation speed of Soul Masters below Soul Douluo. One pill lasts for a month, provided the user remains in seclusion and cultivates continuously. Once Soul Power is used in battle, the Spirit Gathering Pill's effects will be damaged."

He took out five small porcelain bottles first and placed them in Qian Renxin's hands.

Qian Renxin put away the Spirit Gathering Pills and nodded inwardly.

These five portions of Spirit Gathering Pills alone could save him more than half a year of arduous cultivation.

Seeing Qian Renxin's satisfied little expression,

Yang Wudi looked somewhat proud. He took out another four small wooden boxes. When he opened them, they contained reddish-brown medicinal paste.

"This is Blood Lotus Wound Powder, carefully refined from precious Blood Lotus Flowers and other medicinal ingredients. It has excellent healing effects for both internal and external injuries and can be considered a supreme healing medicine."

"Even an uninjured person can apply this all over their body and wait for a while to strengthen their blood vitality, meridians, and physical strength. The higher a Soul Master's cultivation, the weaker its effects become. It is basically useless to experts above titled Douluo."

Halfway through, he sighed and said,

"These were originally ordered by Clear Sky Sect elders for their children and grandchildren. The effects are most suitable for Spirit Kings and Spirit Emperors, and they offer tremendous benefits to Weapon Martial Soul Masters like them who focus on strength."

"Oh?"

Qian Renxin's interest was piqued.

The Spirit Gathering Pills had already delighted him.

He had not expected the Blood Lotus Wound Powder to seem even more useful to him.

They both relied on strength-based Weapon Martial Souls.

The later development path of his greatsword Martial Soul was broadly similar to that of the Clear Sky Hammer.

In his heart,

he had already completely acknowledged Yang Wudi's medicine-refining skill.

Even without immortal-grade medicinal herbs, the medicines Yang Wudi created were already highly effective.

Once he obtained immortal-grade herbs, who knew what heaven-defying medicines he might develop.

However,

before Yang Wudi fully submitted to him,

Qian Renxin would not casually hand over his immortal-grade herbs for the other party to refine.
