Setting Out, Bai Chenxiang Lets Herself Go
"What are the conditions?" Bai He suppressed his turbulent thoughts and asked in a deep voice.
It's both Immortal Herb and a Martial Soul Evolution...
The value it contains is so great that even sacrificing the entire Speed Clan wouldn't be enough.
"I do have a request, but strictly speaking, it's not really a condition," Lin Hai explained with a slight smile.
"After taking the Elixir Pill, Xiangxiang's Soul Power Level should be able to quickly rise to the high-level Soul Elder, or even break through to the Soul Ancestor level, thanks to the medicinal effects."
"To prevent her from wasting her talent due to insufficient resources, I need her to come with me to Sea God Island for training."
"This will be of immeasurable help to her future."
He then briefly explained to the two the existence of Sea God Island, its unique open assessment mechanism, and the fact that many people around him had already set off for Sea God Island.
In her previous life, Bai Chenxiang was able to cultivate to level 45 Soul Power at the age of eighteen, even under the tutelage of the Speed Clan, a family that had fallen into ruin.
This growth rate has completely surpassed that of Feng Xiaotian, who Innate Full Soul Power.
Even so, he only obtained the lowest level, Yellow Grade, on Sea God Island. Was it the quality of his Martial Soul that held him back?
How can we explain reaching the peak level of 99 through sheer willpower alone, without the aid of any Immortal Herb?
Lin Hai was filled with questions about this.
He wanted to see if she, after her Martial Soul Evolution, could gain the favor of a certain god!
After hearing Lin Hai's account, both Bai He and Bai Chenxiang felt a sense of absurdity.
Gods?!
While the Speed Clan is still struggling for survival in the mortal world, Lin Hai and his group are no longer confined to worldly conflicts and are preparing to move on to a different map?
Going to Sea God Island for training... This isn't a condition, it's an incredible gift!
Looking back on these two so-called "deals," the Speed Clan only needed to give up five hundred drops of blood.
For Lin Hai, this was something he could easily take.
And what will they get in return?
A full five million Gold Soul Coin, Bai Chenxiang's Martial Soul Evolution opportunity, and a qualification for the Deity Trial that can rapidly increase strength...
Where does this huge value gap originate?
Bai He looked at his beloved granddaughter with complicated emotions... The more he looked, the harder it was to suppress the bitterness in his heart.
After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled and sighed:
"Xiangxiang, you should make the decision about this yourself."
"Follow your true feelings. You don't need to worry about the family; Grandpa will handle everything."
In the end, Lin Hai obtained five hundred drops of blood from the direct descendants of the Speed Clan as he wished.
After careful consideration, Bai Chenxiang also chose to leave with him.
To Bai He's surprise, this deal with the descendant of his former enemy did not cause any major resistance within the Speed Clan.
Those who objected were mostly people whose families had died in the past.
Even among this group of people, not all were opposed; most remained silent.
Five hundred sets of Hidden Weapon will greatly enhance the self-defense capabilities of the Speed Clan.
And that huge sum of over four million Gold Soul Coin is a fortune they could never spend in several lifetimes!
Ultimately, people need to be more realistic.
The Speed Clan felt they had gotten a great deal, and so did Lin Hai.
A few Gold Soul Coin and Hidden Weapon were exchanged for an elite intelligence force of five hundred men.
For him, it was an excellent deal that offered great value for money.
With Bai Chenxiang by his side, there was no need to worry about the risk of these Hidden Weapon falling into enemy hands.
As for Bai Chenxiang himself...
When she returns, in addition to the label of "the legitimate daughter of the Speed Clan," she will inevitably be marked with other marks.
Lin Hai simply liked this girl.
He didn't expect the other party to resonate with the Divine Artifact.
Bai Chenxiang, who witnessed her lover ascend to the Divine Realm in her past life but could only grow old alone in the mortal world, might have the potential to trigger Divine Artifact.
But in this life, this little girl has very little experience and a very simple mind. Lin Hai doesn't think she will have any obvious life labels.
The two traveled north, with Bai Chenxiang almost entirely immersed in the joy of "eating and shopping."
That kind of behavior suggests a form of revenge spending.
Before even arriving in Vast Sea City, she had already spent almost all of the 10,000 Gold Soul Coin that Bai He had given her before she left.
Lin Hai didn't pay much attention at first. As Bai Chenxiang's originally slightly thin face gradually became rounder and her figure became more and more shapely, he secretly sighed that the little girl was good at gaining weight.
But when he inadvertently noticed that the other person's once clearly defined abs seemed to be fading and disappearing, he finally couldn't help but call for a halt.
Reaching out to take the large abalone that Bai Chenxiang was about to put into her mouth, she earnestly advised:
"Xiangxiang, you really can't keep eating like this, you're starting to get a tummy."
Delicate facial features and a slender yet strong waist are the most prominent external advantages of Bai Chenxiang.
Lin Hai absolutely could not stand by and watch these things be ruined because of his indulgence.
After spending many days together, Lin Hai had long since shed his halo of Holy Son in Bai Chenxiang's eyes, becoming like a considerate and reliable older brother next door.
Upon hearing this, she first licked her lips with lingering satisfaction, then slowly wiped her hands, cupped her cheeks in her hands, and blinked her innocent-looking eyes as she explained:
"Didn't you say that participating in that Divine Trial would be extremely difficult? I'm just preparing in advance to build up enough energy for my body!"
After saying that, perhaps realizing that even she couldn't convince herself with this reason, she playfully stuck out her tongue, sighed softly, and said with a hint of confusion in her voice:
"Okay, I admit it..."
"It's like suddenly having more money than you can spend, and having your future all laid out perfectly for you, and suddenly... I feel like life has lost its purpose, and I don't know what to do with myself."
"You wouldn't believe it, back in our family days, the entire clan had strict annual plans for everything from clothing and food to housing and transportation."
"Any family whose child has a chance of breaking through a major realm within a year needs to report to the clan well in advance."
"Because hunting Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring is a 'huge' expense that requires additional funding."
"And the family's entire income comes solely from the rent collected from a few shops in the city."
"And then there's the occasional assistance from the other three clans."
"When we really run into financial difficulties, we have no choice but to sell our ancestral property... Just two years ago, the family sold the old house that had been passed down for generations."
Bai Chenxiang seemed to transform into a "successful person" reminiscing about past hardships, and began to recount to Lin Hai the hardships of the past:
"Some members of the clan had suggested using the speed advantage of their Martial Soul to deliver messages and goods, thus opening up new sources of income, but Grandpa forcibly suppressed this suggestion."
"Grandpa said that the Speed Clan represents not only themselves, but also the shared honor of the Four Single-Attribute Clans."
"We cannot do things that are 'undignified' and bring shame upon the other three races."
"What's wrong with using your own skills and abilities to run a legitimate business and support your people?" Lin Hai frowned slightly upon hearing this, looking puzzled.
"The Strength Clan runs a blacksmith shop, and the Defense Clan makes a living by building houses for people. Are these professions really more prestigious than delivering messages and goods?"
