His voice was sonorous and powerful, carrying the excitement and determination that had been suppressed for a long time.
"Subordinates, here to see the Sect Master!"
Seeing this, the elders nearby had a hint of relief in their eyes and no longer hesitated.
They all followed Yang Wudi and knelt on one knee, their old but still loud voice echoing in the wooden house.
"Subordinates, here to see the Sect Master!"
Lin Xiao stepped forward immediately and supported him with both hands.
"Everyone, please stand up quickly. No need to be so polite! We are all family from now on."
"I, Lin Xiao, swear an oath. If you do not abandon me, I will not betray the Pozhi clan."
He had not made any promises just now, but now that he had acknowledged the Lord, he had made an oath. This undoubtedly made him seem more sincere.
Yang Wudi and several elders then stood up gratefully, but their eyes all fell on the magical grass that exuded a strange and subtle fragrance.
Lin Xiao's lips curled up into a knowing smile, and he said directly:
"Senior Yang Wudi, please accept this magical herb! I prepared it specially for you."
"The Suwenpo clan excels at refining medicine and poisons. This fragrant and beautiful immortal product is a perfect match for you."
Then he paused, looked at Dugu Bo and continued:
"Also, you can communicate more with Senior Dugu and Senior Ye Renxin in the future."
"You are all outstanding experts in medicine and poisons. I believe that your poison and medical skills will reach new heights."
Of course, this is not Lin Xiao's aimless statement.
Although the Poyi Clan is proficient in both, they have taken a different approach and pursued a different research direction.
In terms of poison techniques, they do not pursue the extreme dominance of Dugu Bo, but they have made unique achievements in the art of mixing poisons.
In terms of medical skills, they are not specialized in curing diseases and saving lives, but are better at refining various kinds of strange medicines to assist soul masters in their cultivation.
If the three parties can learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses...
Lin Xiao could almost foresee what amazing help the combination of these three would bring him in the future.
Yang Wudi listened to Lin Xiao's words, his eyes shining brightly.
Without any hesitation, he quickly took the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product and carefully placed it into his own storage soul guide.
The speed was so fast that it seemed as if it was afraid that the elder next to it would reach out to snatch it.
Upon seeing this, the other elders let out a slight gurgling sound in their throats, and a hint of barely perceptible envy flashed in their eyes.
But they didn't say much. They would be studying together anyway, so it was fine to leave it to the clan leader.
Everyone calmed down a little and sat down again.
This time, Yang Wudi and several elders naturally sat in the seats below.
Lin Xiao naturally sat down in the main seat that originally belonged to Yang Wudi, his movements smooth, as if it was supposed to be so.
His eyes swept calmly over the people in the hall, his calm demeanor forming a sharp contrast with his age.
Lin Xiao cleared his throat, and his voice was clearly heard by everyone.
"Who among you can tell me about the current situation of the Po Yi Clan?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an elder with slightly gray hair and beard, but in high spirits, stood up, took a step forward, and bowed to Lin Xiao.
"Reporting to the Sect Master! My Poyi clan has been subjected to continuous suppression from the Spirit Hall for more than a decade since that incident."
"Now there are only a few hundred members of the tribe left. Life is really hard and we can barely make a living."
Having said that, the elder paused, then straightened his back, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
"However, please rest assured, Sect Master, the combat power of our Poyi clan should not be underestimated."
"Clan leader Yang Wudi is a level 82 strong attack-type Soul Douluo."
"But I can guarantee that with the extreme sharpness of the Soul-Breaking Spear, the clan leader's strength is enough to compete with ordinary Titled Douluo."
"Except for the clan leader, our four elders all have soul powers around level 72, and are all Soul Saints."
"And within the clan, there are still 7 Soul Emperors, 15 Soul Kings, and 32 Soul Sect members."
"The rest are some young people who have not yet grown up, as well as some elderly, weak, women and children who are responsible for logistics."
The elder reported the situation in the clan in detail in one breath and waited quietly for Lin Xiao's response.
After listening to this, Lin Xiao showed a satisfied look on his face and nodded slightly.
The Poyi clan does have a deep foundation.
Even if there are only a hundred or so people left, this high-end combat power configuration is enough to make many so-called prominent families ashamed.
Despite being so powerful, they still live in such poverty.
I think, apart from the Spirit Hall's pervasive suppression, they themselves are probably extremely self-disciplined and would rather live a frugal life than commit any petty theft.
Otherwise, with the strength of this group of people, they could just do some shady things and their lives would not be so difficult.
Then Lin Xiao changed the subject and looked at Yang Wudi.
"Senior Yang Wudi, I know you have a very good relationship with the patriarchs of the other three affiliated sects. Do you know what their attitudes are?"
Yang Wudi couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.
"Master! It's not easy to recapture those families."
Among them, the Li clan suffered little damage that year, and they still miss the Haotian Sect."
"And Bai He of the Min clan is closely related to Tang Hao, so they are deeply involved."
"Now I'm afraid the only one I can try to persuade is the old rhino of the Yu clan."
Lin Xiao didn't care at all after hearing this. He said to Yang Wudi:
"As for the other three sects, just let it happen naturally. There's no need to force it."
"But I have something that I need Senior Yang Wudi to do with the Minzhi Clan."
Yang Wudi immediately stepped forward to ask what was going on.
Lin Xiao then took out another magical herb from the soul guide ring.
This magical herb is in the shape of a lotus, golden in color, and its petals glow brilliantly like bird feathers.
Yang Wudi and his companions were stunned. Their hearts seemed to skip a beat. It turned out to be another magical herb.
The sect leader could easily take out a second piece of this magical item.
But Lin Xiao ignored their inner turmoil and said calmly.
"I know that the Min clan has a 'Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng'."
"But that immortal herb doesn't match their martial spirits. Leaving it in their hands would be a waste of precious gems."
"So I want Senior Yang Wudi to take this Golden Winged Radiant Lotus and go make the exchange."
"And it must succeed."
Lin Xiao's tone was calm, but it was filled with unquestionable determination.
Dugu Bo finally understood what the "opportunity" Lin Xiao had mentioned before was referring to.
"Little monster! The opportunity you need is that 'Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng'?"
"I can just go and snatch it from you. They're all Haotian Sect's dogs anyway, so it would be a waste to keep them. Why bother giving them a magical herb?"
When Yang Wudi heard this, his face suddenly became embarrassed.
On one side is the new leader who has just sworn allegiance, and on the other side is an old friend who has known each other for many years.
Dugu Bo's words put him in a dilemma, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
But Lin Xiao replied:
"Senior Dugu! There's no need to do this."
"Although the Min clan is deeply involved with the Haotian Sect, they have not done anything out of the ordinary over the years."
