Chapter 83: Taking in the Min Clan and Giving Away Immortal Grass
"Haha, Senior, there's no need to be so formal!" Davis turned to look at Bai He and Bai Chenxiang, and asked knowingly, "Senior, who are these two?"
Bai He stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Bai He, patriarch of the Min Clan, and my granddaughter Bai Chenxiang, pay respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Davis smiled and said, "So it's Bai He, patriarch of the Min Clan. I've heard much about you."
During this time, Bai He was also secretly observing Davis. Just as Yang Wudi had said, Davis truly was a rare talent. Simply standing by his side, Davis exuded an aura that was deeply intimidating.
Moreover, Bai He could sense that his own sharp-tailed swift spirit was trembling violently in Davis' presence. That tremble was fear—an instinctual reaction. Clearly, Davis' spirit was extremely powerful, enough to suppress his own.
In addition, Davis' strength was considerable. Bai He could clearly tell that Davis had already reached the level of a Soul King—and not just barely at that.
While Bai He was observing Davis, Davis was also sizing up Bai He and Bai Chenxiang. Bai He had not yet reached Soul Douluo level—his spirit power was only at rank 75, even lower than Yang Wudi's.
As for Bai Chenxiang, her spirit power was only at rank 16. Compared to Zhu Zhuqing, or even Anna, she still had a long way to go.
"I wonder what business the two of you have with me?"
"Well…" Bai He hesitated, unsure how to speak.
Yang Wudi saw this and knew Bai He was too prideful to ask directly, so he stepped in.
"That's right, Your Highness. Old White Bird originally came to visit me, but when he heard that I was attacked by the Spirit Hall, he decided to stay and help.
The Min Clan excels in speed and intelligence gathering—natural scouts. Now that tensions with the Spirit Hall are high and war is possible, we need talent more than ever. I brought him here hoping he could offer his service to Your Highness. Isn't that right, Old White Bird?"
Bai He was momentarily stunned but quickly picked up the thread, laughing,
"Haha, exactly. I heard that Your Highness saved Old Goat's life and treated him kindly. His benefactor is my benefactor.
Now that Old Goat serves the Empire and faces difficulty, I naturally want to help however I can. Therefore, I hope Your Highness will allow us to stay and offer our strength. I am willing to follow Your Highness through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Haha! Senior Bai He truly is a man of loyalty and principle. Very well, you may stay. Your Min Clan may relocate to Star Luo City to train.
When my father returns from the Star Dou Great Forest, I'll take you to meet him. I believe he will be quite pleased to learn you've chosen to join us."
"Oh? His Majesty went to the Star Dou Great Forest?" Yang Wudi asked in surprise. No wonder he hadn't attended court recently.
"Yes. After his battle with Ju Douluo, my father gained some insights. A week ago, he successfully broke through to level ninety…"
Boom!
The moment they heard this, shock flashed across the faces of both Yang Wudi and Bai He.
The Emperor of the Star Luo Empire had broken through to level ninety? That meant the Empire had gained another Titled Douluo!
Bai He hadn't expected such good news right after meeting Davis. He nodded with satisfaction—it seemed joining the Star Luo Empire was the right choice after all.
They both bowed immediately and congratulated him:
"Congratulations, Your Highness. The Star Luo Empire will now have another Titled Douluo!"
"His Majesty's breakthrough will certainly lead the Empire to prosperity!"
"Haha, thank you both for your kind words." Davis smiled, then turned to Bai He and asked thoughtfully,
"Senior Bai He, if I recall correctly, the sharp-tailed swift of your Min Clan has no offensive capabilities?"
At this, Bai He sighed and nodded, "That's right. Our Min Clan consists of pure agility-type spirit masters. Though we are incredibly fast, we lack offensive power."
"Haha, Senior, don't underestimate yourselves. Every spirit type has its purpose. Please, take a look at this."
With that, Davis handed Bai He a continuous-fire flintlock rifle and a grenade.
Bai He's arrival had sparked an idea in Davis—to form an elite aerial unit capable of swift strikes and surprise attacks.
Agility-type spirit masters were nearly invincible at their level in terms of speed. With the addition of firearms like grenades, they would become natural bombers.
Just imagine—hundreds of sharp-tailed swift spirit masters circling above, raining grenades from the sky. With sufficient numbers, even mighty Spirit City could be reduced to rubble!
Bai He took the flintlock and grenade, examining them curiously. "Your Highness, what are these?"
"Come, I'll demonstrate for you."
Davis led them to the courtyard, took aim at a massive stone slab, and fired—
Bang!
The sharp crack of the gunshot echoed as the bullet blasted into the five-meter-thick stone, leaving a deep crater and spiderweb-like cracks across its surface.
Bai He was stunned by the sudden noise. Yang Wudi walked over, inspecting the hole in shock.
"Your Highness, what kind of power is this?!"
"This is a weapon created by Master Lou Gao of the Forging Master Association. It's called a continuous-fire flintlock rifle. A single shot can kill a Soul Emperor outright."
Yang Wudi and Bai He were both stunned. Even they wouldn't dare face this lightly—one misstep, and it could cost them their lives.
Davis continued,
"And this item in Senior Bai He's hand is a grenade. You activate it by pulling the fuse and throwing it. The explosion can injure Soul Saints. With enough grenades, even Soul Douluo-level experts can be hurt or killed."
The two were even more shaken. This tiny object could take their lives?
Bai He became ecstatic. If the entire Min Clan could be equipped with these weapons, their power would increase tenfold!
He quickly asked, "Your Highness, how much do these rifles and grenades cost?"
"They're very affordable," Davis replied. "A grenade is only five gold soul coins. The rifle is more expensive, but still under ten gold soul coins."
Seeing Bai He's growing excitement, Davis smiled,
"Senior Bai He, I plan to arm your Min Clan with these weapons. With them, your clan will no longer lack combat power."
"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you so much!" Bai He bowed gratefully, nearly falling to his knees.
With firearms, the Min Clan finally had the ability to protect themselves—but Davis wasn't done yet.
"Haha, Senior, there's no need to be so grateful yet. In addition to the rifle and grenade, I have another great gift for you."
As he spoke, a blood-red herb appeared in his hand. Its tip was shaped like a cockscomb, with golden-red veins pulsing with heat.
Seeing it, Yang Wudi cried out in surprise,
"This is... the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower!"
