Blue Silver Grass Strategy

In Douluo Continent, strength is everything.

This is especially evident among soul master family forces such as the Haotian Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Family, and the Pozhi Clan.

Therefore, Yang Xueli was somewhat reluctant to come into contact with the [Po Yi Clan] from which she came.

However, Ling Yi had a saying in his previous life: You stand on the bridge to watch the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you from upstairs.

When Ling Yi saw the convoy, the people in the convoy had already seen Ling Yi and his party.

In other words, the three handsome men and beautiful women, who stood out from the crowd in this street with their outstanding looks, had actually been noticed by passers-by earlier.

Therefore, before Ling Yi and the others could turn around and leave in the other direction with their horses, a person came out of the motorcade in front of the hotel over there.From the looks of it, they were coming straight towards Ling Yi and the others.

"Yang Xueli from the fourth room, Yang Yuanzhao's family?"

The person asked Yang Xueli from a dozen steps away before he came close.

Faced with this question, Yang Xueli, who had just turned aside, had to turn back and bow slightly to the visitor, and replied in a slightly respectful tone: "My daughter Yang Xueli, may I know who you are——?"

"My name is Yang Pojun," the man stood two meters away, his eyes moved from Ling Yi and Ah Yin to Yang Xueli, and introduced himself, "I'm from the second branch. I'm responsible for purchasing some of the herbs from the [Tian Dou Empire]. In terms of seniority, I'm of the same generation as your father, but I'm three years older than him."

"Hello, uncle." Yang Xueli bowed and greeted him again as soon as the other party finished speaking.

Following Ling Yi, although Yang Xueli is still outgoing and straightforward, she has grown a lot in dealing with people. That is to say, she took the straight line in the mountains and did not pass by "Longxing City". Otherwise, Yang Xueli's parents and relatives would be surprised to see Yang Xueli now.

Not to mention Yang Yuanzhao, the old father who was far away in the [Xingluo Empire], even Yang Pojun in front of him was a little surprised at Yang Xueli's politeness.

To be honest, I don't know if it's because of the influence of the martial spirit, but basically no one in the entire [Pozhi Clan] is the type who is good at greeting and being polite. If Yang Pojun hadn't been doing business outside for these years and had experienced a lot of welcoming and seeing off scenes, he wouldn't be able to change his words and greet people in an instant like Yang Xueli did.

Don't underestimate this simple title. Just this one "uncle". Generally, when there are no major conflicts among the elders, the title basically determines the subsequent communication between the two sides, which will be friendly and smooth.

With a friendly smile on his face, Yang Pojun said in a friendly voice: "A few days ago, the second master of the main family asked the Bai family of the [Min clan] to pass a message to us side branches, asking for news about you. I didn't expect to meet you here--"

"what?!"

Yang Xueli was startled when she heard this, and subconsciously turned to look at Ling Yi beside her. After receiving a peaceful smile, she turned back and asked Yang Pojun: "Uncle, the second master of the main family is...?"

"You girl~" Yang Pojun first looked thoughtfully at Ling Yi, who had a warm smile on his face, and then shook his head helplessly at Yang Xueli: "When you were at home before, you didn't care about the master's family at all, right?"

After nodding gently, he continued, "The second master's name is Yang Wushuang, and he is the younger brother of the current head of the family, Yang Wudi."

I am still typing, but I am not in a good state today. I think it is because I have been staying up late for many nights. I am very sleepy today. I think I can’t stay up late at night. I will post the first chapter at noon tomorrow.

Chapter 232 Refuse to solicit

In the hotel lobby, at a square table near the door, Ling Yi, A Yin, Yang Xueli, and Yang Pojun sat down.

"It is Ling Yi's honor to be appreciated by Master Yang..."

As Ling Yi spoke, he stood up and first added hot water to the teacup in front of Yang Pojun, then poured water for Ah Yin and Yang Xueli on both sides, and finally for himself.

Putting down the teapot in his hand, Ling Yi's smile remained unchanged, and he said tactfully: "However, Ling Yi is aware that his strength is low, his talents are limited, and he is still in the learning stage. He really doesn't dare to accept the invitation of the [Po Yi Clan]."

Just now, under the introduction of Yang Xueli, Yang Pojun formally met Ling Yi, the third master craftsman in the current Douluo Continent.

Then, adhering to the Yang family's consistent spirit of being swift and resolute, Yang Pojun directly conveyed the meaning from the second master of the main line, Yang Wushuang: to invite the master craftsman Ling Yi to join the [Poyi Clan] and become a worshiper of the Yang family.

More than ten days ago, Yang Wushuang accompanied Tang Hao, the true second young master of the Haotian Sect, and others to Gengxin City. During the exchange, they learned about masterpieces of divine craftsmen such as the Eight-Speared Armor-Piercing Spear and the Qingming Sword, as well as the new divine craftsman Ling Yi who created the Qingming Sword, and had a friendly relationship with Yang Xueli, the daughter of the side branch of the Pozhi Clan. At that time, he thought of recruiting Ling Yi through Yang Xueli.

It is true that the status of blacksmiths is not highly valued in Douluo Continent, but there are always people who reach the top in every industry.

And the master craftsman is no longer an insignificant figure in any force.

Originally, the master craftsmen were all the presidents of the [Blacksmith Association] themselves, and it was basically impossible for them to be recruited by other forces.

In this case, since it is not your own, no matter how high your status among blacksmiths is, all forces will ignore you.

When you need the other party's skills, just give the market price and the money will be paid. Given the size of the [Blacksmith Association], I don't think the other party would dare to refuse or make a random offer.

But the appearance of Ling Yi made Yang Wushuang see the possibility of having another master craftsman in his family.

It’s a very simple truth: it’s better to have it yourself than to have it from others.

Although the [Po Yi Clan] does not involve the iron and ore markets and focuses on the herbal medicine market, if there is a master craftsman working in the family, whether it is arranging for various weapons and armor to be specially made for members of the Yang family, or using this as a medium, intervening in the iron market is a sure win.

Think about it, if the members of the [Po Yi Clan] each had a piece of "Sunken Silver Inner Armor" and the Yang clan members used the soul skill of full attack, would they be able to be more wild in battle?

Or, if they imitated the "Qingming Sword" and forged an "Eight-Spear Armor-Piercing Spear" of the same level, and gave it to the Yang family members with ordinary martial arts aptitude, with the increase in combat power brought by that magic sword and magic spear, as well as the Yang family's polishing of their spear skills, does it mean that everyone in the Yang family is a soul master?

Of course, Yang Wushuang also knew that it would cost a lot to create a magic weapon.

However, a third-rate force like the [Blacksmith Association] cannot afford the cost of such large-scale production, but for the [Po Yi Clan] Yang family, which occupies most of the herbal medicine business in Douluo Continent, these are just a drop in the bucket.

The only thing that can create a restriction is Ling Yi, the master craftsman. How much time does it take to create each magic weapon, and what is the success rate?

"Brother Ling, do you want to reconsider it?"

Yang Pojun frowned slightly and glanced at Yang Xueli beside him. Seeing that she took a sip of the tea in the cup with an indifferent expression, he could only advise Ling Yi himself.

"Sorry." Ling Yi put down the teacup in his hand and said to Yang Pojun in a gentle but firm tone: "I have been away from home for many days. I am eager to return home. I can only let down Mr. Yang and Senior Yang's kindness--"

Because Yang Pojun came straight to the point, Ling Yi didn't say any empty words or polite remarks, and expressed his refusal directly.

"Okay." Yang Pojun nodded with some regret and gave up trying to persuade him further.

He is a blacksmith, even though he is a master blacksmith, but Yang Pojun himself still trusts his martial soul more.

As for the thin inner armor that was strong enough to withstand the fourth and fifth soul skills of the strong attack soul master, Yang Pojun felt that he could just spend money to order it and it was not necessary to recruit people.

Of course, Yang Pojun also understood Yang Wushuang's intention. He felt that by recruiting people into the [Pozhi Clan], the future magical weapons and armor could be supplied to his own people first, and they should be prevented from being circulated to other soul master families on the mainland as much as possible.

A monopoly that others do not have is always a very selfish thing, no matter at which level.

But now Ling Yi had clearly expressed his refusal, and his own little Baicai was watching coldly. Yang Pojun knew that the possibility of this happening was too low, so he naturally stopped forcing it.

After all, whether it was the relationship between Lou Gao and Tai Tan, Ling Yi and Lou Gao, or the promise of a ten thousand year soul ring that Tang Hao made when he exchanged the "Qing Ming Sword" for Tang Yuehua, or for the sake of his little niece Yang Xueli, Yang Pojun couldn't use his power to pressure others.

Well, the fact that the interests represented by Ling Yi did not reach a certain limit was also a reason.

After the topic of recruiting was brought up, Yang Pojun talked to Yang Xueli about the daily life of the Yang family. Then, during the communication with Ling Yi, he found that Ling Yi actually had a good understanding and insights into herbs. He immediately became interested again and started chatting freely.

“What?!” Yang Pojun’s eyes widened, looking at Ling Yi in disbelief: “In the past two years, the prices of more than a dozen kinds of herbs in the [Tian Dou Empire] have increased. The prescriptions that have been circulated among the Tian Dou border troops were actually developed by you, Ayi??!!”

"Aren't you a blacksmith?!"

This is really weird. A healing soul master who is not doing his job as a blacksmith is fine. It is outrageous that he has reached the pinnacle of the blacksmith industry and become a master blacksmith at such a young age. You are also proficient in the properties of various herbs and even develop prescriptions by yourself. Are you trying to go to heaven?

"Haha~" Ling Yi smiled and waved his hands, saying modestly: "It can't be considered a research and development. I just improved some folk remedies that were originally circulated among the grassroots. In the process, many doctors in the army of the [Shuimu Principality] and the border troops of the [Tiandou Empire] gave me a lot of help..."

"Ling Yi doesn't dare to take all the credit for the formulation of those medicines."

These are also true. In the early days of learning pharmacology, these doctors did not reserve all kinds of knowledge they had mastered, and handed over all the knowledge they had to Ling Yi, a healing soul master who was diligent in asking questions and was not ashamed to ask questions.

Yang Pojun: “…”

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

Do you know how many generations of my [Po Yi Clan] spent and how much effort to figure out and prove the medicinal prescriptions of those prescriptions?

Chapter 233 Bloodline Marriage

"Ayi, are you really not going to reconsider this? As long as you nod, my Yang family will definitely provide the best conditions for offering sacrifices!"

This was the eighteenth time that Yang Pojun had persuaded Ling Yi since they met.

Except for the first two times, which were due to Ling Yi's master-level forging skills, the next sixteen times were all due to Ling Yi's profound knowledge of herbs and his ingenuity in deducing the combination of various herbs, which was simply not something that humans could possess!

Yang Pojun believed that with the foundation of their Yang family, as long as Ling Yi was given time, he would be able to lead the Yang family in the field of herbal medicine to a level that so many ancestors had not been able to reach in the past hundreds or thousands of years!

This person's talent is so high! He is simply the God of Medicine!

Unfortunately, just like at the beginning, no matter how Yang Pojun persuaded him, Ling Yi politely but firmly refused.

Seeing that Ling Yi was unmoved, Yang Pojun had no choice but to shake his head in distress. As he did so, he saw Yang Xueli, who looked very proud.

This girl's elbows are all bent to the sky.

Thinking this in a bad mood, suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind. Yang Pojun's eyes lit up. He first looked at Yang Xueli, and then looked at Ling Yi with an aunt's smile: "Ayi, uncle has something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not--"

"It's better not to say it if you can."

Seeing through Yang Pojun's intentions at a glance, Ling Yi couldn't help but complain in his heart. He glanced at Ah Yin and Yang Xueli on both sides, but his face remained calm. He replied softly, "Uncle, please speak freely. Ling Yi is all ears."

"it is good."

Yang Pojun's smile widened a little, and he looked back and forth between Ling Yi and Yang Xueli with a hint of ambiguity before continuing:

“Ayi, you also know that the martial spirit inherited by our Yang family, the ‘Soul-Breaking Spear’, although not as good as the top martial spirits such as the ‘Clear Sky Hammer’ and the ‘Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex’, is also one of the best among the high-level martial spirits.

Although the [Po Yi Clan] is a subsidiary force of the [Hao Tian Zong], if they are taken out alone, they can be regarded as a prominent force. Not to mention the various principalities and kingdoms, even in front of the two great empires, they have some face..."

Facing Yang Pojun's boasting, Ling Yi did not complain in his heart this time, but nodded seriously and agreed: "Indeed, the Yang family's "Soul-Breaking Spear" has attack but no defense, and its offensive power is unparalleled. In terms of attack power alone, it is enough to cross a major realm and fight with higher-level soul masters. Looking at the entire continent, no one dares to despise it-"

"Haha~" Facing Ling Yi's flattery, Yang Pojun was not modest, but accepted it with pride. However, he did not stay proud for too long, and changed the subject directly, revealing his true intentions:

"Look, our [Po Yi Clan] is also a considerable force. The children of our clan have inherited the bloodline of the "Po Soul Spear" martial spirit and have been blessed and nurtured by our family. Shouldn't we put our family first and repay the family for its upbringing?"

Having said that, Yang Pojun did not look at Yang Xueli whose expression changed slightly, but stared straight at Ling Yi, waiting for Ling Yi's response.

Without hesitation, Ling Yi nodded and said, "When we are born into this world, blood, family affection, responsibility... and so on are the lines of cause and effect that we cannot and should not get rid of."

"There is a saying that goes like this: When parents are alive, life still has a destination; when parents are gone, life only has a way back."

After a pause, Ling Yi looked at Yang Xueli next to him, gave her a reassuring look, and then said to Yang Pojun:

"Uncle, when you mentioned the [Po Yi Clan] and the Yang family bloodline, are you referring to Shirley?"

"Although Shirley is from the side branch of the Yang family, no matter what, she is the blood of my Yang family." Yang Pojun nodded and admitted frankly.

"Indeed." Ling Yi also nodded and said, "Shirley, as well as Shirley's parents, grandparents and other elders, were all born and raised in the Yang family. Naturally, their relationship with the Yang family and the [Po Yi Clan] is unbreakable."

"There's no doubt about that."

"But, I don't know what uncle's intention is in bringing this up now?"

Facing Ling Yi's question, Yang Pojun did not hide anything and said directly: "Ayi, I can see that Shirley is interested in you. I believe you can see it too."

When Yang Xueli heard this, her cheeks immediately turned red. But soon, as if she thought of something, her face turned cold again, and the look she gave Yang Pojun also became a little colder.

Maybe he didn't notice it, or maybe he noticed it but didn't take it to heart. Yang Pojun continued to talk to Ling Yi:

"Generally speaking, the children of soul master families like ours mostly marry into families of the same level, or at least forces of similar caliber."

“Although Shirley is from a side branch, with her talent and appearance, even though she is still young now, in a few years, it is inevitable that she will be arranged to marry with the other three families of the four single-attribute clans, or other side branches of our Yang family, or even the children of the Tang family from the main clan [Haotian Sect]…”

With Yang Xueli's current age and strength, it is a foregone conclusion that she will become a Soul Master before the age of 25.

And with such talent, what level would it be in the entire Douluo Continent?

Let's look back at the 'Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition' in the original novel. Not counting the cheaters and their accessories in the protagonist group, just look at the geniuses from various academies who showed up explosively. The Soul Master-level students are all captains and vice-captains of each academy.

In the next ten or twenty years, they will be the backbone of various academic forces. Even later, it is not impossible for them to become the masters of their respective forces.

Therefore, what Yang Pojun said, that Yang Xueli might marry a descendant of the Tang family of the Haotian Sect, was not groundless.

Of course, Yang Pojun's words at this time were a little exaggerated.

It is true that the children of the [Po Yi Clan] will marry with soul master families of similar levels, but this kind of marriage is generally not forced. Basically, some blind date bureaus are set up to let the outstanding children of each family meet and get to know each other. If they are attracted to each other, the two families will start to arrange it. If one party refuses, there will usually be no persistent situation.

After all, this is Douluo Continent, and every soul master is a rare resource. But similarly, no matter if they are men or women, as long as they are good enough, there is no shortage of suitors.

Like the [Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect], the Ning family, as an auxiliary spirit master family, was able to train several combat spirit masters as partners from an early age to grow together and form the closest combination.

However, people like Tang Xiao and Flanders in the original novel, who not only silently wished their brothers to marry their beloved women, but also remained single all their lives, were considered outrageous by the natives of Douluo Continent.

Flanders was fine, as he was born in a civilian family and his "Cat-Owl" martial spirit was a mutation. Whether he could pass on the bloodline was up to him.

But Tang Xiao's story was ridiculous. Tang Xiao must be strong enough, otherwise, just because he was single and childless, the elders would have jointly removed him from the position of patriarch and forced him to breed.

Just looking at the elders in the original novel who didn't give him much face, and even if they did, it was because they were intimidated by his powerful strength. This shows how incompetent Tang Xiao is for the position of sect leader, and how he doesn't win the hearts of these older generations.

It can be said that Tang Xiao’s biggest problem is that he has wasted the super bloodline talent inherited from Tang Chen.

If it weren't for Tang San's sudden rise, the main line of the Tang family passed down by Tang Chen would have basically been broken after three generations with the three siblings Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and Tang Yuehua.

Douluo Continent is a worldview that respects bloodline. Bloodline is power, and it is not an empty phrase.

Of course, the magic of martial souls lies in the fact that you never know when a top martial soul owner with phoenix bloodline will mutate in a chicken coop.

Pulling away, get back to business.
