Blue Silver Grass Strategy

"call--"

Mu Li heaved a sigh of relief, his face showing a look of relief: "That's right, it's not that easy to break through to Soul Saint."

“Besides, even if Dugu Bo breaks through to become a Soul Saint, Ling Yi can’t use this to take back the control of the association.

Soul Saint, it’s not like we don’t have any here…”

As he was speaking, he heard the eunuch whisper:

"My Lord Earl, according to the secret guards, after Baron Ling Yi returned to Shanhai Garden in the Blue Silver Territory, he told his relatives and friends that his uncle, the former president of the Blacksmith Association, the master craftsman Tie Futu, broke through to the Soul Douluo realm more than two months ago—"

Mu Li: “…”

……

At about the same time, the news about Ling Yi's return was spread to everyone in the entire [Shuimu Principality] at an extremely fast speed, bringing a shock that made them uneasy.

The instigator of all this is still holding a second celebration banquet in the Shanhai Garden of "Blue Silver Collar".

Standing in front of the main seat, Ling Yi raised the wine glass in his hand and looked around at the hundreds of people in the audience. An inexplicable smile flashed in his eyes, and he laughed heartily:

"Everyone, let us raise our glasses together to toast our 'Blue and Silver Collar' and everyone in 'Blue and Silver Collar'..."

I am still typing, there will be another chapter in the evening

Chapter 243 Soul Sect Physique

The next day, dawn.

After finishing morning exercise, Ling Yi took Ah Yin who had come to find him to the storage warehouse.

In the large warehouse, in the "Yin Yang Bagua Diagram", standing on the stone platform with clear black and white, Ah Yin looked dazed and his eyes had lost focus.

At the same time, a huge shadow of "Blue Silver Grass" appeared behind Ah Yin, growing bigger and bigger, and its aura gradually became stronger.

After instructing Ah Huang and Miao Miao to guard the place, Ling Yi turned around and left, walking towards his own courtyard.

Not long after returning to the courtyard, Li Zhishu knocked on the gate.

"Old Li, come in quickly."

In a corner of the courtyard, under the "Drunken Peach Tree", Ling Yi fiddled with the tea set in his hands while inviting Li Zhishu who was at the door.

It was March, the time when peach blossoms were in full bloom. The breeze blew and the fragrance of flowers filled the courtyard. The "Iron Birch Tree", "Fire Patterned Sycamore Tree" and "Golden Jujube Tree" a dozen meters away complemented the scenery.

Even in the small pond in the southeast corner, although the lotus flowers have not yet bloomed, the green lotus leaves are still vibrant and full of vitality.

"sit."

Ling Yi stood up and poured a cup of hot tea for Li Zhishu. White mist rose up and the fragrance of tea filled the air.

Li Zhishu picked up the teacup, sipped the hot tea, turned his head and looked around the fairyland-like courtyard, and finally looked at Ling Yi:

"You're back, and this place has come alive, just like the Blue and Silver Collar has found its backbone."

"I'm honored by this." Ling Yi said with a faint smile without being modest.

Seeing the sharp light gradually blooming in Ling Yi's eyes, Li Zhishu also smiled: "I haven't seen you like this for a long time--"

"When was the last time? Let me think. Was it when you broke through to become a great soul master, or when you bought the Ruyi Treasure Bag and returned from the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Ling Yi's smile remained unchanged, and a hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes: "All of them."

"At that time, although I thought about realizing some ambitions in the Principality, I was more focused on making myself and the people around me live a better life. Becoming a great soul master or getting to know Senior Dugu would make me more confident. Unfortunately..."

"Forget it, that's all in the past, let's not talk about it——"

Shaking his head, Ling Yi picked up the teacup, blew away the mist rising from the rim of the cup, and took a sip.

"Old Li,"

Putting down the teacup, Ling Yi looked at Li Zhishu and asked, "What is your current soul power level?"

"Hmm?" Li Zhishu glanced at Ling Yi in surprise, but without thinking too much, he answered directly, "Level 39."

Ling Yi heard this and turned the teacup in his hand thoughtfully. After a few breaths, he asked, "I remember that Lao Li, you should be 28 years old now, right?"

"Yeah." Li Zhishu nodded and calmly took a sip of hot tea.

"With your innate soul power, Lao Li, even if it is difficult to cultivate a food-type martial soul, you shouldn't have failed to break through level 40 yet. To what extent have you cultivated 'Furious Horse Lingguan' and 'Bull Demon'?" Ling Yi analyzed and asked again.

"should……"

Li Zhishu put down the teacup and was about to say something when Ling Yi raised his hand and said, "Wait, let me test you myself. Pay attention——!"

After saying that, he raised his right hand, clenched his fist and punched Li Zhishu in the chest.

Seeing this, Li Zhishu, who had received Ling Yi's signal in advance, curled his lips and revealed a "Dragon King-style" smile. He clenched his left fist and punched out from the side of his waist under the table, meeting Ling Yi's fist first.

"Bam—!"

A muffled sound, like a low thunder, exploded in Ling Yi's courtyard.

The amazing thing is that despite such a violent collision, the stone table, which was less than 20 centimeters below the two fists, as well as the teapot and teacups, did not move at all and were not affected at all.

Obviously, both Ling Yi and Li Zhishu had fully mastered the power of their punches, and not a single bit of their energy leaked out.

The two fists were still pressed together, and from the outside, they seemed to be wrestling, but only the two men themselves knew that they were not only competing in strength, but also in a battle of power.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

After about thirty breaths, Ling Yi noticed that Li Zhishu's strength began to become dispersed, and he slowly retracted his strength. While offsetting Li Zhishu's uncontrolled strength, he also guided the other party to control the even smaller strength after it was dispersed.

Another dozen breaths passed, Ling Yi retracted his fist, and looked at Li Zhishu with a smile, who still had his left arm stretched forward, five fingers clenched into a fist, and closed his eyes at some point.

This time, it didn't take long before Li Zhishu opened his eyes. As he retracted his sore left arm, an undisguised joy flashed in his eyes.

In just less than a minute, he felt that his understanding of the two boxing stances, 'Raging Horse Lingguan' and 'Bull Demon's Strength', seemed to have reached a new level!

"Old Li, sure—"

Ling Yi smiled and refilled Li Zhishu's teacup with hot water, praising him: "Your strength is probably close to two thousand pounds, and your bones, muscles, fascia and meridians are all very tough. You are almost catching up with Brother Yuan when he was level 47 or 48—"

Brother Yuan, also known as Jiang Yuan, is now developing his own earldom in the fiefdom in the southwest of the [Shuimu Principality].

"Hehe~" Li Zhishu rubbed his left wrist and said with a smile: "You know, before you came back, not counting Senior Dugu, I was the number one expert in your 'Blue Silver Territory'!"

"That is to say, I listened to you and didn't show off outside. Otherwise, I, a food-type soul master, would be able to fight with those newly-breakthrough strong attack-type soul masters, and I would have been 'invited' away by some people a long time ago-"

"Fortunately, 'Blue Silver Collar' has always been peaceful. Besides, Ayin and the others have grown up now, so there is no need for me to do anything. It would be nice for me to be a cook here..."

When it comes to how Blue Silver Collar has been able to maintain peace for so many years, Li Zhishu was a little puzzled at first. But after a conversation with Zhang Lei, he found out that Ling Yi left behind a peaceful external environment for Blue Silver Collar before he left.

It can be said that as long as Ling Yi is still alive, as long as he does not return to [Shuimu Principality], the "Blue Silver Territory" will be able to have a day of peace.

Even if some people in the principality wanted to do something during this period, Grand Duke Mufeng and several marquises would help them to "calm down".

"That's enough~" Ling Yi said, holding the teacup in his hand: "I can feel that your soul power is just a little bit away from a breakthrough. Reduce your investment in body training these two days and turn to soul power training... I say, you are putting the cart before the horse..."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhishu said unconvincedly: "Do you know how great it is to be a food-type soul master and have a fighting power that is not inferior to that of a strong attack-type soul master?"

Ling Yi ignored Li Zhishu's explanation, because he had also been addicted to body building and felt his body getting stronger bit by bit. He raised his hand and pointed to his bedroom, saying, "Come to my room..."

"What?" Li Zhishu crossed his hands in front of his chest and deliberately showed a vigilant look on his face.

Ling Yi rolled his eyes at the fat man who had lost a lot of weight but was still plump, and said unhappily, "These are the 'Blue Silver Grass' that are between five thousand and eight thousand years old. There are both mutated and original ones. Pick one yourself. While your soul power hasn't broken through to level 40 yet, communicate well with each other and develop a tacit understanding..."

"I have been away for four years. Now Ah Yin, Ah Xin, Ah Feng and others have become three-ring soul masters. I have not been able to arrange soul rings for them personally. Fortunately, you are here. Their third soul rings can be hunted for thousand-year-level ones..."

"Now, Lao Li, your fourth spirit ring, of course I have to prepare it for you."

"Of course, if you don't like the Blue Silver Grass, I'll take care of the territory's affairs in the next two days, and then take you to the Soul Beast Forest..."

I will continue to write, but I will not stay up late. I will continue to update at night tomorrow.

Chapter 244 Mercenary Union

Shanhaiyuan, kitchen.

As a manor of the same size as the original Shanhai Village, hundreds of people live here.

Naturally, the kitchen here is also quite large, comparable to the cafeteria in Ling Yi’s previous college life.

At this time, in the spacious cold storage in the back kitchen, Ling Yi and Li Zhishu stood side by side. Not far away, Zhang Lei, Zhang Mufeng, Qingqiu Xin, Long Yin, Dugu Xin, Ling Shan and others were waiting with curiosity.

Ling Yi glanced at Li Zhishu, who shrugged helplessly, and said, "I just said that you brought a very rare high-end ingredient, and they all came over..."

Turning his gaze to Zhang Lei and the others, he saw their bright smiling faces. Ling Yi shook his head helplessly.

Of course, deep down, Ling Yi gave a thumbs up to Li Zhishu's acting skills.

You know, at this time in the cold storage, in addition to Zhang Lei, Ling Shan and other blood brothers, the three friends, and Dugu Xin, there were also some other people who rushed here after hearing the news, such as Li Zhishu’s two students, Chen Tianqi and Gao Yanlun, as well as other chefs and purchasing staff in the kitchen.

Some people here have several identities.

The thought in his mind turned, and Ling Yi's hands did not delay his movements. He took out a black metal box the size of an adult's fist from his arms. The soul power in his hand surged, activating the ice-blue pattern on the metal box. A blue gem the size of an ordinary person's fingernail on the top of the box immediately burst into a bright light.

Then, Ling Yi pushed open the metal lid inlaid with blue gems and poured the opening downwards.

The next second, a bright red irregular sphere was poured out.

The magical thing is that the bright red sphere, which was only the size of a baby's fist, just came out of the metal box, grew in the wind, and when it landed on the ground, it had become a big thing with a diameter of nearly one meter.

This was a large meatball. As soon as it appeared, it brought with it an astonishing heat that dispelled the coolness in the cold storage.

"This is……?"

Li Zhishu looked at the big, fresh red meat ball and had a guess in his mind, but he was not sure.

Because he felt a vague sense of oppression from this big ball of meat.

Not only Li Zhishu, but also Zhang Lei, Qingqiu Xin and others who were watching nearby felt it. This also indirectly proved that the feeling of oppression was not an illusion. They immediately looked at Ling Yi, waiting for his explanation.

Ling Yi didn't keep the secret, just smiled gently and introduced slowly: "The heart of the 49,000-year-old Duck-Billed Red Flame Beast!"

"..."*N

Silence. The huge kitchen cold storage fell into deathly silence.

After a long while, Li Zhishu finally squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Fuck!"

As soon as these two words came out, everyone in the cold storage was immediately switched on, and all sorts of single-word and double-word modal particles rang out one after another.

Ignoring those involuntary interjections, Ling Yi turned to look at Li Zhishu, raised his finger and pointed at the big red heart that was still radiating heat, and said:

"I'll give this thing to you. Go back and figure out how to process it and make a dish that we can eat..."

After a pause, he whispered in an uncertain tone: "If you can really figure it out, I think it will be of great benefit to your future strength improvement."

"Don't forget, you are a food-type soul master. Your martial soul training is different from that of ordinary soul masters like us."

"The kitchen is where you food-type soul masters practice mimicry!"

Li Zhishu: “…”

Although I was somewhat moved by Ling Yi’s words, why did I feel like I had fallen into a trap?

……

In the next seven or eight days, through Zhang Lei, Qingqiu Xin and others, Ling Yi got a general understanding of the current situation of the 'Blue Silver Collar', the [Blacksmith Association·Shuimu Principality Branch], and the [Mercenary Guild] which was in its infancy.

The so-called [Mercenary Guild] is a concept proposed by Ling Yi, as well as a general organizational structure. It is formed by soul master groups and lone soul masters who make a living through the soul beast forests at the bazaar outside the five soul beast forests of the [Shuimu Principality].

Just like the top ten masters in the Howling Wind Market outside the Howling Wind Canyon, Kang Zhan, Shu Xin, Yu Liang, Chen Yuanzhi and others.

In addition, after Long Yin's father, Long Ang, and Qingqiu Xin's father, Qingqiu Li, withdrew from the management of the [Blacksmith Association·Shuimu Principality Branch], they took the opportunity to take the backbone of the family and set up the main framework of a [Mercenary Guild·Branch] in the "Frost Forest" in the north of [Shuimu Principality] and the "Sea Wind and Rain Forest" in the south, respectively, and then absorbed other soul master groups and individuals to gradually develop.

The [Shuimu Principality] is a small place with a small population. In terms of area, it is not even as big as the smallest province of the [Tiandou Empire].

At the same time, there are no particularly powerful soul masters here, and the strongest one on the surface is only at the Soul Saint level.

In the soul beast forests in the five directions of the principality, the strongest soul beasts recorded are basically less than two thousand years old.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no powerful soul beasts within the territory of the [Shuimu Principality].

Generally speaking, the soul masters of the [Shuimu Principality] have three choices for the fourth soul ring of the Soul Sect, and the fifth to seventh soul rings of the Soul King, Soul Emperor, and Soul Saint.

The first is to go north, pass through the "Frost Forest", and enter the "Frozen Forest" area, where ten thousand year old soul beasts roam.

The second is the southern end of the principality, which leads directly into the sea. Unlike the calm sea east of the principality, the offshore area is basically inhabited by sea soul beasts under a thousand years old. The sea south of the principality is a place where rapids converge, and many groups of sea soul beasts roam there, thus attracting many older sea soul beasts to come and hunt.
