The Secrets Behind It
At the same time, in Gengxin City, at the Blacksmith Association.
"Oh? The patriarch of the Speed Clan, Bai He, actually traded various rare ores with the Heavenly Craft Academy for ' Blood Essence Fruit '?"
On the fifth floor, in the No. 1 foundry, after a long separation, Ling Yi had only exchanged a few words with Lou Gao when he received this news that made him raise an eyebrow.
"That's right~"
Lou Gao nodded and said, "As you said, strictly control the production of ' Blood Essence Fruit.' Scarcity increases value; this will not only get us better goods but also earn us favors from those who need them."
"So far, the results seem pretty good."
The rare minerals released by the Bai He, such as "Heavenly Black Gold," "Deep Sea Heavy Silver," and "Earth Core Copper Mother," are so rare and valuable that even a worldly Divine Craftsman like Lou Gao, as well as the head of all the blacksmiths on the continent, are extremely envious.
So, after some half-hearted haggling, the two parties reached an agreement to barter.
Every three months, Bai He will exchange a batch of rare ores with a market value of no less than 100,000 Gold Soul Coin for five "Blood Essence Fruit" provided by the [Heavenly Craft Academy].
Money is not a problem for either the current Clear Sky Sect, the Blacksmith Association, or the Heavenly Craft Academy.
However, both the rare ores offered by the Clear Sky Sect and the Blood Essence Fruit released by the Heavenly Craft Academy were priceless treasures; even with money, one's luck was crucial to acquiring them. ☜🍪 ♣💝
In the Douluo Continent today, apart from the Spirit Hall, the two great empires, and the Blacksmith Association, only the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can produce so many rare ores. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is even slightly inferior.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect relies on the Ning Family's "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda" Martial Soul, giving it a unique advantage in appraising and identifying treasures.
As for the Clear Sky Sect, it's because the Tang Family's "Clear Sky Hammer" martial Martial Soul makes them natural blacksmiths, and they're more likely to produce excellent ones. Back when the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Family "Clear Sky Hammer Tang Chen, they produced quite a few skilled blacksmiths.
It's hard to say about Divine Craftsman, but there are almost always Grandmaster Blacksmith in every generation.
Furthermore, as discerning people as tall as Lou Gao can easily see, the fact that the Bai He's transaction of the "Blood Essence Fruit" is backed by the Clear Sky Sect is quite obvious.
Lou Gao wouldn't believe a single punctuation mark on any of those excuses about cultivating the next generation of the "Speed Clan".
Lou Gao was already a very bright and intelligent person, and later he was influenced by Ah Yi, who was the smartest person in the world, and his wisdom increased even more rapidly.
Even though Bai He Speed Clan has developed quite well over the years with the backing of the Clear Sky Sect, they haven't really developed any competitive businesses, and their wealth isn't substantial. 🐸☆ ♢🍬
Calling them poor might be a bit of an exaggeration, given their status as relatives of the Clear Sky Sect. However, compared to the Defense Clan of the Niu Clan clan, who mainly deals in construction, the Yang Clan Breaking Clan clan, who trades in herbs, and the Tai Clan Strength Clan, who are famous for forging, the Speed Clan is indeed not as well-off as ordinary Soul Master outside the world imagine.
Therefore, the rare minerals that Bai He took out were 100% provided by the Clear Sky Sect behind him.
In addition, the Strength Clan, a family of blacksmiths, may have also played a role in this.
However, the "Blood Essence Fruit" obtained in exchange were definitely not for helping the Speed Clan cultivate future generations!
Of course, Lou Gao is not a big mouth. The deal with Bai He is currently known only to him and a few others, including Tie Futu, who has been stationed at the Heavenly Craft Academy.
Even with Ling Yi added now, the number still doesn't exceed one hand.
After all, Bai He has already stepped into the limelight, which clearly shows that the Clear Sky Sect does not want too many people to know about this matter. Lou Gao is not so stubborn as to think that by controlling the production of "Blood Essence Fruit", he has the other party under his control.
If this becomes common knowledge throughout the Douluo Continent, who knows when a gigantic "Clear Sky Hammer" might appear in the sky above "Gengxin City" and smash down...
"So, Ah Yi, can you analyze this for me? What exactly is going on with the [Clear Sky Sect]?"
Lou Gao rubbed his head a few times, then looked at Ling Yi with some curiosity. "Although the ' Blood Essence Fruit ' is quite good, it shouldn't mean much to the powerful [Clear Sky Sect], right?"
"If you really want to cultivate the next generation, I've heard of the secret medicine of the Yang Clan family of the [Breaking Clan]."
"Besides, if you're going to make a change, why push Bai He to the forefront? With the Clear Sky Sect, there's no need for such secrecy, is there?"
"This is the Star Luo Empire—!"
Yes, this is the Star Luo Empire. In terms of influence, even the Star Luo Empire's royal family, the White Tiger Dai Family, is not as powerful as the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect in the world.
It can be said that the fact that the Spirit Hall was holding them back, and that the Star Luo Empire itself had a strong enough foundation, meant that if this were within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Clear Sky Sect's strength might have led to the imperial family changing its name and identity.
In the original novel, why did Xue Beng become Tang San's disciple, who was younger than him?
On one hand, Tang San's strength far surpassed his, making him qualified to be his teacher. But the most important reason was that Xue Beng needed to rely on Tang San's network of connections to secure his throne in the Heaven Dou Empire.
He is a direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect, the son of Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo; the face of the Shrek Academy, and in the "Golden Iron Triangle," Yu Xiaogang is Tang San's teacher, the kind of teacher who is considered a father figure for life. Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong both hail from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects; among the Shrek Seven Devils, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of the Star Luo Empire, while Ning Rongrong was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, and even the undisputed heir to the sect leader; furthermore, Tang San is a close friend of Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo ...
All of the above represent the three powerful and long-established sects: the Clear Sky Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; more than five Titled Douluo; the friendly diplomatic relations with the Star Luo Empire; and a large number of young and talented Soul Master. All of this combined makes Tang San a shining, super-powerful figure in Xue Beng's eyes!
Otherwise, why would the newly appointed emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire become Tang San's apprentice?
Those magical Hidden Weapon? Or that special movement technique comparable to Agility Attack System Soul Master? Or perhaps the secret technique that uses spiritual power emitted through the eyes to turn seven students of [Canghui Academy] into idiots?
Even if Tang San did teach him, would an emperor have that much time to learn? And how many opportunities would he need to personally go to the battlefield?
If even a weak emperor like him has to go to the battlefield, then the Heaven Dou Empire is clearly doomed. Adding another fighter who isn't even Soul Saint is pointless.
Unless the Xue Family can possess the combat power of a Titled Douluo, either through their own abilities or through Martial Soul Fusion Skill, like the White Tiger Dai Family, they have no hope of changing the outcome of a battle.
To be continued tomorrow, goodnight everyone~
