339: Destroying the ClanYan suddenly felt a surge of pressure and immediately scolded: "Boy, do you think you can join our Wuhun Hall team just because you want to?"

Then, the Soul Douluo Tieniu who was following Hu Liena asked in a bad tone, "Boy, your soul power is currently at level 63, what kind of soul ring do you need? Tell me, what is your purpose in approaching Her Highness the Saint?"

Tang San was shocked.

What he said just now was completely in line with Hu Liena's words, and he didn't consider that he himself was not yet at the stage where he needed a spirit ring.

How could a smart man like Tang San be stumped by such a question?

He raised his fist and said calmly, "My martial spirit is the Clear Sky Hammer, but I am not a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect. My mother is old and frail now, and she was suddenly infected with a serious illness not long ago. I came here to hunt down the Nine-segmented Mantis and extract its essence to make medicine, so that I can save my mother's life."

"He's still a filial son." Tie Niu snorted and stopped talking. Obviously, he couldn't find fault with Tang San's explanation.

But Tie Niu is not the team's commander and cannot decide whether to let Tang San join the team.

Then, Hu Liena, who has never been in a love affair, certainly won't make any mistakes in principle.

"Tang Yin, we won't kill you because of our past friendship. But you can't join our team, so leave now. If you're discovered by others, I can't protect you."

"Go to the nearby Wuhun Temple, there you will find what you want!"

After saying this, Hu Liena did not give Tang San a chance to speak and led the group forward.

Before leaving, Yan did not forget to cast a teasing look at Tang San.

This is trouble.

Tang San's heart was already burning with anxiety.

He failed to join Hu Liena's team, and once the Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall came to join them, he would no longer be able to hide.

Tang San was a little at a loss, staring blankly at the backs of Hu Liena and others as they left.

…

Xingluo Empire, Longxing City.

"Stop, you need to pay a silver soul coin to enter the city." At the city gate, the guard stopped Qi Tian's carriage.

Ah Fei, who was driving the carriage, was stunned. "You said, let us pay to enter the city?"

"Anyone who enters the city must pay!" The guard was not flustered. He stood at his side with the spear in his hand, looking at Ah Fei arrogantly.

Ah Fei held his forehead, and it seemed that this guy was just a fool.

"Don't cause unnecessary trouble." Qi Tian's voice came.

"That's a good deal for him." Ah Fei took out a gold soul coin from his pocket and threw it to the guard.

Longxing City is not as prosperous as Tiandou City. Most of the houses on both sides of the street are wooden structures, not stone brick buildings like those in Tiandou City.

"This is just a small town at best. I think it shouldn't be difficult to find the Pozhi clan." Ah Fei said uninterested.

"I heard from my grandfather that Longxing City was just a small town in the past. Later, the city started a medicinal materials business, and in just a dozen years, it developed into a densely populated city." Dugu Yan said.

Qi Tian was not surprised.

Medicinal materials are a highly profitable industry. After the Po Yi Clan left Haotian Sect, they did not become as impoverished as the Min Yi Clan. The medicinal materials business in Longxing City should have started after the Po Yi Clan moved here.

You know, businessmen are profit-driven.

When the Po Yi clan came here, they would certainly cultivate a large number of medicinal fields. All these medicinal material merchants needed to do was to plant the medicinal materials near the Po Yi clan's medicinal fields, and they would definitely grow well.

Alternatively, they can purchase directly from the Poyi Clan.

Over time, it changes the economic structure of a city.

Thinking of this, Qi Tian felt a little worried.

"If the Po Yi clan is the cash cow of these merchants, I'm afraid our trip will not be smooth."

"What's the big deal? The worst that can happen is I can just teach them a lesson." Dugu Yan snorted coldly.

Qi Tian shook his head, "It's not that simple."

"Suppose that the quality of the medicinal materials of the Po Yi clan is the same as the medicinal materials sold by the old monster. Do you think those merchants will let go so easily?"

"Perhaps, in order to obtain first-hand medicinal materials, someone even spent a large sum of money to bribe the disciples of the Po Yi clan."

According to Qi Tian's understanding of Yang Wudi, the latter is just a crazy alchemist who knows nothing about selling medicinal materials. Otherwise, the wealth accumulated by the Po Yi clan would have been immeasurable.

"Sister Yanzi, let's take the old monster's herb shop as an example. What do you think would happen if someone burned all the herbs in the shop when the herbs were on the market at the beginning of the month?"

Before Dugu Yan could speak, Ye Lingling responded, "I'm afraid that before Senior Dugu could take action, those merchants who came to buy medicinal herbs would have already caught the arsonist."

Qi Tian nodded, "That's the truth. Merchants are not producers, but transporters. Without goods, it would be like destroying their jobs."

The Po Yi Clan joining the Element Sect meant that all the medicinal materials they produced in the future would be monopolized by the sect. If these merchants wanted to buy them, they could only offer a higher price.

Merchants are not stupid. If the cost increases while the selling price remains the same, their profits will be lower.

After hearing this, Dugu Yan and others also realized the seriousness of the problem.

"It seems that we have to avoid the eyes of these merchants. It is best to contact their owners directly."

Yang Wudi took the initiative to relocate his family, so these businessmen certainly couldn't say much.

Qi Tian arranged: "When we go to visit later, try not to say too much irrelevant words before meeting Yang Wudi. Remember, our current identity is merchants from Tiandou City who come here to purchase medicinal materials."

"We'll discuss recruiting after we meet Yang Wudi."

…

The residence of the Pozhi clan is just a group of single-story wooden houses sitting together.

Ah Fei got off the carriage and took the initiative to greet the gatekeeper disciple.

"Please inform the two young men that we are the medicinal herbs merchants from Tiandou City. We heard that the medicinal herbs of the Poyi Clan are of very high quality, so we came here to purchase some."

Having seen the servile businessmen for a long time, the two gatekeeper disciples naturally developed extremely high aspirations.

They both raised their heads and said indifferently, "There are many people buying medicinal herbs. I wonder if you can offer a high price?"

"If you want to come here to buy medicinal herbs, please leave your name and the price you are willing to pay. Then go to the city and find a hotel to wait. When our master is free, you can come back."

"Hey, you may not be strong, but you have a big mouth." Dugu Yan in the carriage looked unhappy.

What's so great about the medicinal herbs of the Po Yi clan? Can they compare with the medicinal herbs of their Dugu clan? Besides, everyone on the carriage is above the Soul Emperor level, and these two gatekeeper disciples are only Great Soul Masters. Why are they so arrogant?

Qi Tian quickly stopped her, "Don't act on impulse. The King of Hell is easy to deceive, but the little devil is hard to deal with. After all, they are disciples of the Po Yi clan, Yang Wudi will definitely be more willing to believe their words!" (End of this chapter)
