Breaking Clan's Submission, Pill Refinement

Yang Wudi was stunned.

His expression darkened.

Xu Hanfeng sipped his tea without urging him.

The Breaking Clan had to make a choice.

After a moment, Yang Wudi looked solemnly at Xu Hanfeng.

"From the moment the Clear Sky Sect abandoned us, the Breaking Clan has had nothing to do with them."

"Very good. I formally invite you to become a subordinate force under me."

The moment those words came out, everyone froze.

"Xiao Feng, what are you talking about?" Ye Liuli said hurriedly.

"Yeah, Xiao Feng, why would a child like you need a force of your own?" Dugu Bo asked, puzzled.

"Douluo Continent isn't peaceful right now.

Spirit Hall's Pope, Bibi Dong, is wildly ambitious. The battles of the future are already on the horizon.

If we want to survive the turmoil that will sweep across the entire continent, having our own force is essential."

Xu Hanfeng shook his head as he spoke.

Everyone frowned at his words.

"Really? But Spirit Hall is very quiet right now." Yang Wudi was confused.

"Of course. Spirit Hall under Bibi Dong is at its strongest in a hundred years.

And what about the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire? They refuse to make progress, while nobles suck the people dry everywhere. It would be perfectly normal for them to be destroyed."

"Then are we going to deal with Spirit Hall?" Dugu Bo had never had much goodwill toward Spirit Hall, mainly because of Ghost Douluo.

"Of course not. Spirit Hall probably has more Title Douluo than all of us here combined. Are we supposed to go throw our lives away?" Xu Hanfeng rolled his eyes.

"We're only doing this for self-preservation. At worst, we can join Spirit Hall later.

Could it be that Aunt Ye and Grandpa Dugu still have any attachment to the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Dugu Bo shook his head. "Not really. I only stayed to repay a favor, and after all these years, I've more or less repaid it."

"Neither do I. The Ye Family and the Heaven Dou Royal Family have merely been using each other.

The Ye Family needs the Heaven Dou Royal Family's protection, while the Heaven Dou Royal Family needs the Ye Family's Healing Ability."

"Then that settles it. The Heaven Dou Empire's fate has nothing to do with us."

Xu Hanfeng had even less fondness for the Heaven Dou Empire, despite being a student of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Yet he had received very few resources.

Even someone with talent like his could not get much, which showed just how bad the situation with the academy's nobles was.

He no longer cared.

"Even if you're right, why should the Breaking Clan submit to you?" Yang Wudi now believed Xu Hanfeng was no ordinary person.

"See them?" Xu Hanfeng pointed at Ma Xiaotao and the others.

"Your women?" Yang Wudi looked completely baffled.

"What?" Xu Hanfeng nearly spat blood.

He was still just a child.

"They were all summoned by my martial soul."

"What?! Your martial soul can summon Soul Masters!"

"That's right. So long as I become a Title Douluo, they can all attain the Title Douluo level as well.

I alone will be a legion of Title Douluo!"

"Gasp..."

Not only Yang Wudi, but even Dugu Bo and Ye Liuli drew sharp breaths.

Only then did they remember that Dugu Yan and the others had Soul Power equal to Xu Hanfeng's.

"Can a person really possess such a terrifying martial soul?" Yang Wudi murmured.

"What do you think, Clan Head Yang? Is that enough? If you perform well in the future, it's not impossible for me to give you an Immortal Herb."

Yang Wudi was extremely powerful in battle.

He was currently a Soul Saint. Once he became a Spirit Douluo, his offensive power would not be weaker than that of some Title Douluo.

"Good! Of course, it isn't for the Immortal Herb. Your potential alone is worth it."

Xu Hanfeng's eyelid twitched.

"You could have left that unsaid."

"Hahaha... Yang Wudi greets my lord."

Yang Wudi spoke earnestly.

Xu Hanfeng then looked at Ye Liuli and Dugu Bo.

"Aunt Ye, Grandpa Dugu, do you want to join as well?"

"Grandpa~~" Dugu Yan tugged on Dugu Bo's arm.

"Mother." Ye Lingling did the same, her eyes rippling like autumn water.

"Sigh... brat, you've already taken away the only descendant of my Dugu Family. What else can I do?"

"Aunt Ye believes in you." Ye Liuli had only those words to say.

"Haha... our organization is officially established."

"Then shouldn't we give it a name?" Tang Ya asked.

"Of course. It will be called Dawn Pavilion. 'Dawn' signifies breaking through the darkness and welcoming the light."

"Was what you said earlier about joining Spirit Hall true?" Dugu Bo asked.

"Haha... Grandpa Dugu, are you afraid of Ghost Douluo?"

"Bullshit! Why would I fear a mere chrysanthemum? I'm already Rank 94. Give me some time and I'll become a Super Douluo. A mere Ghost Douluo? I'll handle him with one hand!"

Dugu Bo lifted his head confidently.

"Then there you have it. Even if I join Spirit Hall, I'll become its Holy Son."

Everyone thought that sounded quite good.

"I think it's great. The little master is so talented, and we're all powerful too. Becoming the Holy Son is a sure thing." Ma Xiaotao nodded.

"Yeah, yeah. The position of Spirit Hall's Holy Son will definitely be ours."

"It's a good idea, but first we need to let Spirit Hall know about Xiao Feng." Ye Liuli felt that with Xu Hanfeng's talent, there was no issue at all with him becoming Spirit Hall's Holy Son.

"That's simple. Later, I'll go challenge the Five Elemental Academies one by one."

If he wanted to make a name for himself in Heaven Dou City, could it be any easier?

"Not bad. Good idea."

Dugu Bo gave him a thumbs-up.

"To help my lord become famous, I'll go refine the pills."

"Alright."

With trembling hands, Yang Wudi picked up the three Immortal Herbs.

He entered his pill-refining room.

Yang Wudi took out the books he had on Immortal Herbs and began slowly studying their medicinal effects. Then, combining that knowledge with his own pill-refining expertise, he considered how to combine the three Immortal Herbs.

"The primary ingredient is Dragon Blood Bone Forging Ganoderma, the secondary ingredient is Earth Dragon Golden Melon, and the catalyst is Crimson Flame Spirit Marrow."

Taking the crimson-gold cap portion, Yang Wudi condensed his Soul Power into a blade and sliced it into nine pieces as thin as cicada wings.

He placed them over steam to soften gradually.

He cut open the flesh of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon and squeezed it into juice.

He froze the Crimson Flame Spirit Marrow until it frosted over, then crushed it into fragments with a violet jade pestle.

Once every step had been prepared,

Yang Wudi immediately began refining the pills.

Pill refinement was divided into three stages.

Melting the ingredients, condensing the pill, and forming the pill.

He used ice- and fire-attribute medicinal liquid brewed from his own Spirit Herbs and Elixirs, taking a ladle of each as the water-and-fire base.

He first added the Earth Dragon Golden Melon juice, then scattered in the Crimson Flame Spirit Marrow fragments once it boiled.

After the medicinal liquid turned orange-red, he added the Dragon Blood Bone Forging Ganoderma slices one by one.

Soul Power had to be infused between each slice.

Time slowly passed.

When the medicinal liquid shrank to the size of a fist, Yang Wudi poured in more Soul Power.

Slowly, he compressed it into pills.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Seven Crimson Gold Pills the size of longans condensed within the pill cauldron.

Their surfaces were covered in dense scale-like patterns. Crimson radiance flowed across their outer layer, faint golden light shone from the middle layer, and a blood-amber gleam could vaguely be seen at their cores.

Yang Wudi picked up the pills, and an iron-like stench spread through the air.

Smelling them caused a faint prickling sensation in the nose.

It could be said that they did not smell very good.

However, after three breaths, a pale golden mist emerged.

The mist carried a unique fragrance.

It was clear that these pills were highly effective.
