The Strength Clan.
Since Lin Xiao brought the Strength Clan under his control, the sect's circumstances have greatly improved, showing a world of difference compared to the past.
From being suppressed by Spirit Hall to no longer worrying about cultivation resources.
Titan watched it all unfold, feeling grateful but also uneasy about receiving benefits without earning them.
He was eager to achieve something significant.
At this moment, in the council hall.
Bai He, the patriarch of the Agility Clan, sat opposite Titan, drinking tea.
Bai He was visibly troubled and poured out his grievances.
Ever since the Four Great Clans were abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect, their situations had become increasingly difficult. Even the Strength Clan, known for its combat power and expertise in forging, struggled to survive.
The Agility Clan, whose sole strength was speed, found that their skills in reconnaissance and intelligence gathering couldn't generate substantial income. Furthermore, due to the Sharp-tailed Swallow's lack of offensive capability, they had been forced to live in hiding and constantly evade danger over the years, making it impossible to continue.
Witnessing the Strength Clan's gradual improvement.
Bai He lowered his face, Hoping to receive assistance from Titan.
"Titan, we've been old friends for many years. If our sect wasn't in such dire straits, I wouldn't have come to you... Alas, I'll write you an IOU..."
Titan looked at his old friend, who was once full of vigor.
His eyes showed a hint of reluctance, and he said with a bitter smile:
"Bai He, there's no need for an IOU. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you directly."
"However, after so many years of decline for the Agility Clan, are you truly content to remain in this state forever? If not for yourself, then at least think of the young people in the clan!"
Bai He sighed and gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"Do you think I don't want to find a way out for the sect?"
"It's just that the Strength Clan understands forging, the Defense Clan excels at construction, and the Breaking Clan is skilled in alchemy. Only my Agility Clan has the world's best speed, but lacks offensive power..."
"Are we supposed to become mere couriers?"
Bai He's face showed the weariness of years.
Titan quietly looked at his friend and said in a deep voice:
"What if I told you I have a way?"
"The Clear Sky Sect abandoned us ruthlessly back then, causing our four great clans to be suppressed by Spirit Hall year after year. Why should you continue to be a loyal dog protecting them? Why not follow me and abandon the darkness for the light?"
Astonishment appeared on Bai He's face.
"You mean..."
"Our Master is an unparalleled genius. At 16, he shocked the Soul Master World as a Soul Saint. In the battle against the Beast Tide, he proved himself a young hero, destined to reach the pinnacle in the future."
Titan spoke frankly:
"If you're willing, I can introduce you."
"Whether you agree or not, whether it succeeds or fails, it's up to you!"
Bai He lowered his head, his expression shifting.
"But my Agility Clan has no other strengths besides speed..."
"That's not a problem!"
Titan roared, "Bai He, where did your former sharpness and pride go?"
"If you look down on yourself, how can others respect you?!"
Bai He finally made up his mind.
"Alright! Old friend, please help me with the introduction!"
"I will prepare a generous gift and present it then!"
A good bird chooses its tree to perch in.
Bai He was unwilling and reluctant to see the Agility Clan decline under his leadership!
...
Ye Residence.
In the backyard pavilion.
Ye Qingxian took out several jade bottles from her sleeve and handed them to Lin Xiao.
She said, "I've read many ancient texts and dedicated myself to research, finding methods for making medicine. Last time, while training with some girls, I tried making some pills. Unfortunately, I don't know alchemy and feared wasting precious ingredients, so I only made them simply."
After speaking, Ye Qingxian introduced them one by one.
"This is the Jade Dew Pill, used for healing. Taken internally, it stops bleeding and reduces swelling. In emergencies, it can protect the internal organs. It can also be crushed and applied externally. I know your self-recovery is astonishing, but this can still be used to heal others."
"This is the Dragon Tiger Pill, used to restore energy. This refers to your physical and spiritual power, not Soul Power. It can also be taken for ordinary fatigue and has a very good refreshing effect."
"This is a Ginseng King Pill. Its main ingredient is a Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King, and it's the most precious of the three pills. It's used to strengthen the physique and speed up cultivation. For you, the effect on your physique might not be very noticeable, but improving your cultivation speed is still good."
Ye Qingxian chattered on.
Then, she added somewhat bashfully:
"Don't think Aunt Ye is being meddlesome. I have experience in saving lives and healing the injured, but in the art of alchemy, I'm just an apprentice. I wouldn't even dare call it alchemy, but rather drug preparation. I don't dare call these pills, only pills. Please don't mock my lack of knowledge."
"Ling Ling and the others all have them, and the effects are considered acceptable. Remember to use them."
Lin Xiao was initially a little surprised, but after quietly listening to Ye Qingxian say so much, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Aunt Ye is truly multi-talented.
And, she's being overly modest.
Lin Xiao grinned, giving a thumbs-up.
"Aunt Ye, you're simply a god!"
This is what a reassuring rear support should be like!
However.
The skill Ye Qingxian suddenly displayed gave Lin Xiao an idea:
Ye Qingxian's talent and intelligence were undeniable; she was already a master of medicine and incredibly learned in a wide range of subjects. Since Aunt Ye had shown talent in alchemy, he naturally had to give her his full support.
He remembered that the Breaking Clan had a complete inheritance of alchemy.
Perhaps he could find a way to obtain it and give Ye Qingxian a surprise.
Additionally, he could also ask the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to search for it through various channels.
As for whether Ye Qingxian could learn it…
Someone who could become a grandmaster in medicine could learn anything!
Lin Xiao took the pill and thanked Ye Qingxian.
...
Evening.
Titan personally came to visit.
"Titan of the Strength Clan, requesting an audience with Master!"
Lin Xiao heard the news and went out to meet him.
He led Titan to the living room to talk.
"Reporting to Master, the Strength Clan has been favored by Master recently. The disciples in the clan have cultivated diligently, and the overall strength of the sect has greatly increased! The clan members are immensely grateful!"
"If Master has any commands, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
After listening to Titan's report, Lin Xiao nodded slightly.
He offered a small piece of advice.
"Has the Strength Clan continued with forging?"
"Reporting to Master, we have, always!"
"Good. Forging is a craft. I remember you are one of the Three Great Craftsmen, Titan. Don't neglect the skill that provides your livelihood."
"Yes!"
Putting aside other things, Titan was truly an excellent subordinate. He was good at providing emotional support, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Lin Xiao found him quite pleasing to the eye.
Titan suddenly knelt before Lin Xiao, his posture very solemn.
"Master, I have one more matter to report…"
"What is it?"
"The Agility Clan, having heard of Master's reputation, wishes to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Their clan leader, Bai He, has approached me and asked me to convey his request to meet Master."
Lin Xiao's spirits lifted.
"Bai He?"
Lin Xiao had a deep impression of the Agility Clan.
It was said that the Sharp-tailed Swallow was the martial soul with the greatest speed. Soul Masters who possessed this martial soul could move silently and extremely quickly, making them the best candidates for scouts and spies.
He readily agreed to Titan's request.
He consented to meet Bai He the day after tomorrow morning in the reception hall of the Strength Clan.
