Blue Silver Grass Strategy

One word difference, but huge difference in meaning!

……

Pulling the hem of his clothes once again, Ling Yi's eyes moved, first looking at the wooden rack containing the "Tongxi Earth Dragon" spinal beads, claws, scales and other soul beast materials.

Although there were no labels, Ling Yi knew that there were a lot of materials in it that came from various soul beasts.

Among these materials, there are good things that are recognized by the soul masters from the outside world, and there are also some "garbage" that are discarded like trash.

For example, the stones in the stomachs of some bovine and canine soul beasts are usually thrown away by the soul masters who perform the dissection.

Just like the tree roots, barks, flowers and plants placed in different containers on another wooden shelf, they were regarded as Ling Yi's unique collecting hobby by the soul masters who came for medical treatment and paid the consultation fees.

Of course, Ling Yi doesn't just collect these "worthless" "garbage".

There are still some valuable items, such as a large piece of dried resin and wood polymer that looks like rotten wood. It is a popular item among soul masters and nobles.

"Agarwood", after the debris is ignited, the aroma can calm the mind and allow the soul master to practice in a better state.

In addition, on another wooden shelf, there are some soul guides that do not look new, but are definitely not old.

Some are shaped like small speakers, which can amplify sound with the help of soul power; some are like small boxes, but can store sound and be activated and played with soul power; some are inlaid with a piece of transparent crystal, which can shine brightly when stimulated by soul power...

Well, although they are basically some useless soul guides, they are still soul guides after all. In the current Douluo Continent, no matter where they are, they can be sold at a price, whether high or low.

What interested Ling Yi the most was a pair of shackle-shaped soul guides, which were said to have come from a ruined soul master family. When worn, they could seal the soul power of a soul master.

Special note: Only available for those below the first-ring soul master, that is, it can only seal the soul master level. Soul power exceeding level ten can break the seal.

Well, this toy is a bit funny, but Ling Yi still likes this pair of shackles very much, not because of any perverted interest, he is a serious person, away from vulgar interests. It is purely because of the sealing principle contained in it, which is worth Ling Yi's research.

Feeling full of accomplishment, Ling Yi once again looked around the storage room, cut a large piece of "agarwood", and turned back to his lounge.

He cut the "agarwood" into small pieces and evenly scattered them in the rows of wooden troughs on the walls of the lounge as fertilizer for each "blue silver grass". After injecting a little bit of soul power into each "blue silver grass", Ling Yi returned to the bed and entered the state of cultivation.

As I mentioned before, agarwood is a valuable commodity. However, it is not that valuable. It is only slightly more expensive than the meat of ordinary animals.

This thing is more common in the Soul Beast Forest, and there are also quite a few in some forests without soul beasts.

The demand for this thing among soul masters is not that great; it is mostly demanded by some nobles of average strength who are pretentious.

I don’t know if it’s because of their world view or their cultural level, but the soul masters on Douluo Continent seem to have a lukewarm attitude towards these external resources.

With such doubts, Ling Yi began to practice his soul power. He was about to return to "Muzhi City". It was always better to be stronger.

The seeds that were sown before are now growing well, and it is time to harvest.

Chapter 97 Farewell

Three days later, in the western part of [Shuimu Principality], outside the ‘Howling Wind Canyon’.

Early in the morning, hundreds of figures gathered outside the Blue Silver Wooden House, silently and patiently waiting for something.

When the red sun completely appeared in the eastern sky, the bolted door of the wooden house was opened from the inside, revealing Zhang Mufeng's sleepy face.

"Ok?"

At first glance, seeing so many people gathered outside the door, all Zhang Mufeng's sleepiness was awakened, and his half-closed eyes instantly opened wide.

Subconsciously closing the door and bolting it again, Zhang Mufeng immediately turned around and ran towards the lounge near the storage room. Before he even got close, he shouted in a low voice:

“Brother Yi! Brother Yi——! Hurry up and get up! There are so many people outside——!!”

In the lounge, Ling Yi, who had already woken up and was cultivating his soul power, opened his eyes and moved his body. In the end, he did not stand up directly, but said loudly to the outside of the lounge: "A Feng, those people outside should be the people brought by Ye Luo and Yue Qing brothers, and other friends who knew we were leaving today and came to see us off.

You take Ah Xin and Ah Yin to sort out the gifts so that nothing is left behind, and then take Ye Luo and Yue Qing to load them into the car one by one...

I am practicing now, and it will take a while to finish—"

After saying this, he didn't say anything else. He closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.

Outside, Zhang Mufeng heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Ling Yi's words, and then smiled awkwardly at Qingqiu Xin and Long Yin who had just heard the voice.

Then, I received two pairs of contemptuous eyes.

Not to mention how the three friends outside simply washed up and began to count the gifts that had been packed yesterday.

In the lounge, Ling Yi opened his eyes with some annoyance, lowered his head with a little melancholy, and a faint sadness surged in his heart.

It is said that since three or four years ago, this kind of inexplicable sadness has occurred every morning and lasts for quite a while each time.

This situation became more and more intense as Ling Yi's physical fitness improved.

There was no other way. I had to start exercising by crawling and rolling around since I was a kid. When I was a little older, I would play with Ah Huang and Miao Miao, and step by step, I created and perfected the dog and cat shapes in the Basic Physical Exercises.

There is also the "Farmer's Three Styles" created by villagers through plowing, harvesting and chopping wood, all of which are ways to strengthen the body and activate and strengthen human Qi and blood.

To this day, in the twelve forms of "Basic Physical Training", the three forms of "Farmer", the nine forms of "Beast Martial Soul·Xingyi Boxing", and various other basic cold weapon combat skills, there are also various tonic medicinal foods, tonic soups, martial soul evolution, soul power improvement, strength enhancement...

All these things made Ling Yi's body, at the age of fifteen, strong from inside out to a degree that is unimaginable for ordinary people.

His Qi and blood are strong, his five internal organs are full of essence, and he is almost at an awkward age. It can be said that Ling Yi is now mature!

The people on Douluo Continent matured earlier than Ling Yi in his previous life because of the extraordinary power of martial spirits. That is to say, every night, Ling Yi alternated between soul training and deep sleep.

When cultivating soul power, one must keep the mind focused, and when in deep sleep, the 'self-state' awakens, and the body's functions are spontaneously adjusted to achieve perfect balance, thus saving Ling Yi from the embarrassing situation of having to wash his own clothes in the morning.

But if this continues, it won't be a good thing.

Ling Yi looked down at his heir to the throne in distress. He wanted to scold him, but then he thought that the other party was innocent and he had already made him suffer for so many years. Suddenly he felt reluctant.

No longer paying attention to the stubborn free will, Ling Yi calmed down and focused more on the movement of soul power in his body, allowing the other party to raise the flag of protest there.

Let him be. When he gets tired, he will rest by himself.

With this thought in mind, Ling Yi mobilized his soul power to flow through his meridians quickly and steadily, like a rushing river, washing and opening up the river channel. The river water, carrying the breath of life, seeped into the land on both sides of the river bit by bit...

About a quarter of an hour later, Ling Yi felt that his free will had died down, so he opened his eyes in time, got up from the bed, put on his clothes, went through the small door to the corner behind the wooden house, and washed up in the bathroom.

When Ling Yi finished washing up and came to the main hall of the Blue Silver Wooden House, the huge space was empty except for a few wooden shelves and bunk beds placed on the side, and the "Blue Silver Grass" on the wall.

If there are careful soul masters, they will find that the "blue silver grass" on the wall is now the same size as the "blue silver grass" growing on the ground outside the wooden house, and is no longer the same size as before.

Apparently, the special "Blue Silver Grass" grown in the Blue Silver Wooden House using "Agarwood" debris as fertilizer had been packed up along with other gifts and loaded onto the carriage, and was about to be taken away by Ling Yi.

As he stepped out of the wooden house, Ling Yi saw Long Yin holding a knife in his left hand and an axe on his right shoulder, moving his two thousand-forged weapons towards a carriage.

At this time, Zhang Mufeng had just jumped off the rear of the carriage, probably having put away the things he had on hand.

"Mr. Ling~"

From a distance, someone in the crowd saw Ling Yi appear and immediately called out.

This sound woke up the others who had been silently watching Zhang Mufeng, Long Yin, Qingqiu Xin, Yue Qing and others carrying large and small packages of gifts.

For a moment, the three words "Mr. Ling" were heard one after another.

Ling Yi, with a warm smile on his face, took the initiative to greet the spectators, looked around, and greeted everyone with a smile.

Finally, Ling Yi's eyes fell on the C position in the crowd, where three men and one woman were standing, and the other people around them spontaneously made room for them.

Kang Zhan, martial soul "Mountain Piercing Cave Armor", level 44 strong attack system fighting soul sect, fifth among the top ten masters of the Howling Wind Market group.

Yu Liang, martial soul "Gray Rock Snake", forty-level agility attack system fighting soul sect, seventh among the top ten masters of the Howling Wind Market group.

Chen Yuanzhi, martial soul "Double-pronged Steel Fork", forty-level strong attack system fighting soul sect, the last of the top ten masters in the Howling Wind Market group.

Shu Xin, martial soul "Rosemary Purple Smoke Vine", forty-eighth level control system fighting soul sect, second among the top ten masters in the Howling Wind Market group.

Of these four people, except for Kang Zhan's sixth brother Kang Zhao who was seriously injured and dying a few days ago and was rescued by Ling Yi, the other three were either injured themselves and treated by Ling Yi, or, like Kang Zhan, had relatives or teammates who were treated by Ling Yi. Naturally, they felt grateful and close to Ling Yi as their rescuer.

Ling Yi naturally responded to the soul masters of these friendly camps with his friendly side.

"Mr. Kang, Brother Yu, Brother Chen, Sister Xin."

Ling Yi walked forward and greeted the four people one by one.

Hearing these obviously different titles, Kang Zhan raised his eyebrows and pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Mr. Ling, isn't the way we address each other a little too distant?"

"Boss Kang~" The middle-aged man with narrow eyes at the side said jokingly in a hoarse voice: "You said that Brother Ling's name for you is unfamiliar, but don't you also call me Brother Ling in the same way--"

"That's right!" Another sturdy middle-aged man laughed and continued, "What Lao Yu said is that you, Boss Kang, are so proud of your strength that you keep your distance from Brother Ling. Do you still expect Brother Ling to treat you as a brother?"

Next to him, Shu Xin, a beautiful woman with the strongest strength, just watched with a smile and didn't say anything.

Chapter 98: Early Move

The entire Xiaofeng Market is not big, but also not small. People here basically see each other everywhere. Occasionally, they will compete for some wealthy clients' hiring tasks, or if they come across a high-value soul beast that can be easily dealt with in the canyon, they will also try to snatch it away.

But from Ling Yi's observation, the characters of these people are all pretty good, and the competition is benign, without any hatred or petty actions.

Now, with Ling Yi as the central figure, they also want to get closer to each other.

This market near the Howling Wind Canyon is no less prosperous than an ordinary town in terms of scale. These people are all locals who have taken root here.

Apart from the Soul King-level lone ranger who ranks first among the top ten masters, the other three are outsiders.

How do you say that?

Where there are people, there is the world, and thus there are a series of problems such as the division of forces, camp positions, etc.

Under Ling Yi's intentional or unintentional guidance over the past month, the soul masters who made a living in Xiaofeng Market began to discuss the two viewpoints of "unity and cooperation" and "fighting alone".

Apart from those with tough personalities, there were also one or two conservative people who planned carefully before taking action, such as Shu Xin, Yu Liang and Chen Yuanzhi, all of whom carried out a certain degree of serial contact actions.

Kang Zhan used to be a conservative person.

Judging from his appearance now, is he interested in cooperating with Shu Xin and the other two?

Although he was about to leave here, Ling Yi still felt sincerely relieved when he saw this scene.

These are all high-quality supporters for him when he becomes stronger in the future. They are not necessarily as trustworthy as the confidants he has trained himself, but as long as they are compensated at market price, these people will be an excellent force for Ling Yi.

Ling Yi may not need this power to do anything dangerous or difficult, but this power is a bargaining chip worthy of the world's attention even in ordinary times.

For example, introduce them to the [Blacksmith Association·Mizumi Principality Branch]!

Under Ling Yi's construction framework, the [Blacksmith Association Shuimu Principality Branch] has integrated the blacksmiths and the families behind each blacksmith into a relatively complete organization in the past two years.

More than 80% of the members of this organization are blacksmiths, ranging from apprentices to senior blacksmiths.

The remaining 20% ​​of the members are basically relatives of blacksmiths and relatives with the qualifications of soul masters!

It has been mentioned before that it is very easy for a soul master to change his job or work part-time as a blacksmith, but it is extremely difficult for an ordinary person to learn forging and become a high-level blacksmith due to the upper limit of their own strength growth.

The [Blacksmith Association] is naturally composed of blacksmiths. Even if one does not have the talent of a soul master, as long as he becomes a blacksmith, he can join.

Of course, this was done in the beginning in order to recruit more people, so we accepted everyone.

Under the planning of Ling Yi, his master Grandpa Jin, and vice presidents Fu Shan, Li Qiang and others, once the association is on track, the entry threshold will be raised to junior blacksmith.

In this case, it seems that soul masters who have not learned forging do not meet the requirements for membership?

Otherwise, if Ling Yi had not been concerned about the existence of those old forces in the Principality, he would have already instigated several other vice presidents to bring some close soul masters and the families behind them into the association.

You know, as the vice president of the association, the stronger the association is, the more resources they can mobilize!

If the [Blacksmith Association·Mizumi Principality Branch] only recruits blacksmiths, then it might as well be called the [Blacksmith Association].

But a union composed of a group of blacksmiths could not fully satisfy Ling Yi's vision of his future power.

Blacksmith, just concentrate on forging high-quality works.

The purchase of raw materials, the sale of finished ironware, and the transportation along the way should all be handled by a dedicated team of soul masters.

Unfortunately, Ling Yi is too weak now, and Lou Gao is too far away. In order not to stimulate the major forces of the [Shuimu Principality] headed by Grand Duke Mu Feng, Ling Yi cannot openly absorb soul master groups such as Kang Zhan and Shu Xin into the [Blacksmith Association·Shuimu Principality Branch].

He could only take a roundabout way. First, he would gather together the soul masters who were friendly to him, and let them spontaneously become a soul master group that was influential in a certain place. At the same time, he would work hard to strengthen his own foundation and make efforts to gain more recognition for his voice in the future.

In the future, it wouldn't be a bad idea to form a [Mercenary Guild] on Douluo Continent with small groups of soul masters like Kang Zhan!

A two-pronged approach is the best development path at the moment!

……

Time passed by minute by minute as Ling Yi communicated with Kang Zhan and others.

When Zhang Mufeng and Ye Luo walked to Ling Yi, Kang Zhan and others suddenly remembered that the time of parting had come.
