Chapter 66: Breaking Clan, Qian Renxue Breaks Through to Level 40! Extreme Attribute?
"Oh, if you're talking about a sect, I did think of one, but that sect isn't on good terms with our Spirit Hall. Their current predicament was caused by our Spirit Hall," Qian Daoliu said indifferently.
Hu Bai asked, "Grandpa Qian, which sect are you talking about? If possible, we must subdue them. Since their sect can perform alchemy, their sect master must be very interested in rare flowers and herbs. And we just happen to have rare flowers and herbs, so maybe they'll join us, putting aside past grievances?"
Hu Bai had been guiding them from the start.
Immortal herbs were too precious. If everyone got one, they would quickly run out, especially with so many people in Spirit Hall who had good relations with him.
In his memory, there seemed to be a medicinal pill made from the essence of a hundred immortal herbs. This medicinal pill was very effective even for a Super Douluo like Xuanzi, the Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, who directly broke through to Ultimate Douluo after taking it.
Unfortunately, he didn't know the pill's formula, so it could only be researched by the Breaking Clan in conjunction with Dugu Bo and Yue Guan. Even if they couldn't figure it out, the pills they did refine—helping improve talent and soul power—could be used to reward the more talented younger generation of Spirit Hall.
Moreover, for fairness, a contribution system could be implemented to allow Soul Masters with weaker talent also to have a chance to obtain medicinal pills.
Once his soul power reached level 30, he would also need to undertake missions. He just didn't know if completing missions, besides the usual gold coin rewards and honor, also accumulated contribution points that could be exchanged for more valuable items.
Hu Bai felt that this method was very good.
"Breaking Clan."
Before Qian Daoliu could speak, Bibi Dong said instead, "The Breaking Clan was once one of the affiliated sects of the Clear Sky Sect, skilled in attack and alchemy."
A few months ago, after the former Supreme Pontiff Qian Xunji died because of Tang Hao, our Spirit Hall went to demand an explanation. The Clear Sky Sect has since sealed its mountain gate, abandoning its affiliated sects.
They have a total of four affiliated sects: the Strength Clan, which specializes in strength and forging; the Defense Clan, which specializes in defense and construction; the Speed Clan, which specializes in speed and reconnaissance; and the Breaking Clan, which specializes in attack and alchemy, as just mentioned.
While Bibi Dong's tone was calm when she said this, her gaze swept over the several supplicants.
Qian Daoliu and the others instantly understood Bibi Dong's hint.
From this moment on, Qian Xunji was killed by Tang Hao. Bibi Dong hoped they could help her conceal the truth.
If Qian Renxue knew that Qian Xunji was actually devoured and killed by her in the end, her recently mended relationship with Qian Renxue would likely plummet to an all-time low again.
"So, the four single-attribute sects now hate our Spirit Hall to the bone?" Hu Bai asked.
Bibi Dong shook her head. "Not necessarily. While their abandonment by the Clear Sky Sect was indeed due to our Spirit Hall, our Spirit Hall didn't do much to the four major sects; otherwise, their sects wouldn't still exist today.
They might hate Spirit Hall, but they should hate the Clear Sky Sect even more, because the sect abandoned them for no reason. You should know that the four single-attribute sects contributed significantly to the Clear Sky Sect, yet when danger arose, they were ruthlessly abandoned."
Hu Bai smiled inwardly. Fortunately, it had been less than a year since they separated from the Clear Sky Sect. Now, the four single-attribute sects should still hold a lot of resentment toward the sect, and less toward Spirit Hall, because Spirit Hall revealed the true nature of the Clear Sky Sect.
"Then, can we recruit the Breaking Clan into Spirit Hall? I heard you mention these four single-attribute sects; isn't the Breaking Clan the most formidable among them?"
Bibi Dong: "Actually, our Spirit Hall already intended to recruit the four single-attribute sects, but not right now. Why? Are you interested in this too? Why do you only want the Breaking Clan and not the other three sects?"
Hu Bai shook his head and said, "Not really. I just think the Breaking Clan has the most value, and I have an immortal herb on me that the clan chief of the Breaking Clan will be very interested in. As for the other three sects, the second most valuable might be the Speed Clan, followed by the Defense Clan and the Strength Clan."
"Oh? Why do you rank them this way, young man?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked with interest.
Jiang Mo said, "Yes, yes, the Speed Clan has been doing the worst among the four sects since separating from the Clear Sky Sect. Their clan follows a pure speed path, and they only have speed, with no proud secondary profession. And their clan chief is very arrogant; even though they are almost unable to survive, they still refuse to accept a single subsidy from Spirit Hall."
Hu Bai smiled. "With Spirit Hall as a backing, the Speed Clan's reconnaissance ability is what we need. As for the Defense Clan and the Strength Clan, our Spirit Hall doesn't need them. We should have alternative sects below us, right?"
The Speed Clan, ranked second, in addition to their reconnaissance trait, is also valuable because of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng in Bai He's hands, which he absolutely must obtain.
However, even without this herb, the Speed Clan would still be second.
After all, Spirit Hall doesn't need the Defense Clan's construction or the Strength Clan's forging; there is the Elephant Armored Academy as an alternative sect.
Ultimately, Qian Daoliu and the others discussed it, and when Hu Bai's soul power reached level 30, they would have Yue Guan and Gui Mei take him to the Breaking Clan.
Hu Bai had no objection to this. Anyway, he was only five levels away from level 30. If he cultivated diligently this year, it would be about time.
Afterward, Hu Bai also informed Xie Yue, Hu Liena, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling that they needed to acquire new soul rings, which would be arranged later.
And just at this moment, Qian Renxue's body erupted with intense golden light. The Seraphim Martial Soul behind her emerged, spreading a sacred, bright aura around her.
This extreme sacred aura made even Bibi Dong herself feel slightly uncomfortable. Her two martial souls were actually both suppressed by the Angel God's sacred aura.
This was normal, but Qian Daoliu himself was also experiencing suppression!
He was very familiar with this: attribute suppression!
Could it be…
Qian Daoliu's eyes gleamed. This immortal herb had refined Qian Renxue's sacred and light attributes!
In his perception, although it hadn't reached the level of an extreme attribute, it was infinitely close. Perhaps by absorbing more sacred and light attribute soul rings in the future, she would be able to break through to an extreme attribute!
This fluctuation lasted for a full minute before Qian Renxue retracted her martial soul, opened her eyes, and said with a look of surprise, "I've broken through to level 40! And this Yearning Heartbroken Red has also refined and compressed all of my attribute power. Perhaps in the future, I can also possess an extreme attribute like Xiao Bai!"
