After staying with the Breaking Clan for several days, Yang Xiong and Lin Gong left first. Some matters needed to be resolved in advance back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Of course, before leaving, Yang Xiong specifically signed a cooperation agreement between the Three Single Attribute Clans and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. This included aspects such as being allies, an offensive and defensive alliance, and profit sharing.
The cooperation between the Three Single Attribute Clans and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect varied. The Breaking Clan would trade medicinal products with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with the latter purchasing them at a 20% increase over the current price.
The Defense Clan would engage in deep construction-related transactions with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The Defense Clan was the most famous construction clan on the Douluo Continent, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's business spanned the entire Heaven Dou Empire, requiring a vast amount of construction. A few hundred people could easily be accommodated, and the price would also be increased.
The Agility Clan was relatively more troublesome, but they signed an agreement with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to establish an information and reconnaissance network. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would pay a certain amount of cash to employ the Agility Clan to form a rapid response information network within a radius of several hundred miles around the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. This treatment was much better than their independent development, at least providing relatively stable income.
As for Yang Xiong establishing the Body Sect, only Yang Xiong and a few clan leaders were aware of it and would absolutely not reveal it easily. On the surface, Yang Xiong served as the hub for contact between the Three Single Attribute Clans and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Regarding the advancement of Bai He and Niu Gao, and the subsequent training of Body Sect disciples, Yang Xiong was still contemplating this. After all, there were some things he didn't want outsiders to know, and the Body Sect hadn't reached that point yet. He would consider it after returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Yang Xiong and Lin Gong embarked on a long journey, taking over ten days to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect from the Star Luo Empire. Along the way, Lin Gong was relatively relaxed, while Yang Xiong ran with a heavy load, which could be considered a form of physical training.
Yang Xiong strongly suspected that Lin Gong was deliberately trying to bully him. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was several thousand kilometers away from the Star Luo Empire. Lin Gong claimed it was special training for Yang Xiong, but these several thousand kilometers were too easy for him, while Yang Xiong was carrying hundreds of kilograms of weight.
Upon returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Yang Xiong immediately found Ning Fengzhi and presented the signed cooperation agreement from the Three Single Attribute Clans.
Both Ning Fengzhi and the Sword Bone Douluo were surprised by the agreement, and even Ning Rongrong, who was nearby, was exceptionally astonished.
They were well aware of the value of this agreement. For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the total number of Soul Masters was only about five thousand, and the internal personnel were complex, with a significant number of support-type and even food-type Soul Masters, as well as some with relatively weak Martial Souls.
The Three Single Attribute Clans combined had a thousand Soul Masters, their strength already reaching about one-fifth of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's. Furthermore, they had three top Soul Douluo. Looking at the combined strength of the three clans, they were almost comparable to more than half of the Lower Four Sects.
For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at this stage, it was difficult to further improve their strength in the short term, but suddenly forming an alliance with the Three Single Attribute Clans was a very big surprise. As for the financial issues, they were not a problem at all for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi was relatively calm: "Little Xiong, besides this alliance, did you promise the Three Single Attribute Clans anything else? I think even if I personally intervened, or even offered better conditions, it would probably be impossible for the three clans to come from the Star Luo Empire to the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Over the years, I have tried to win over many Soul Master clans, and even the Four Single Attribute Families. The conditions were much better than yours, but unfortunately, there wasn't much success."
Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking: "Sect Leader, the Three Single Attribute Clans naturally have their needs and their weaknesses. The Agility Clan lacks attack, so I traded with them using the Rasengan."
"Although the Defense Clan is proficient in defense, they are ultimately lacking and have never been able to produce a true Titled Douluo. So, I plan to ask Bone Douluo teacher to give some guidance to the Defense Clan, and similarly, ask Sword Douluo teacher to guide the Agility Clan."
"As for the Breaking Clan, they are very skilled in refining medicine, but they are also exceptionally persistent about medicinal products. I accidentally obtained two Spirit Herbs, so the Breaking Clan is willing to come to the Heaven Dou Empire with us. Of course, the Breaking Clan is good at attacking, so I will also need to ask Sword Douluo teacher to give them some guidance."
The Sword Bone Douluo looked at each other upon hearing this. Their status within the sect was high, and they were actually expected to do such things.
Sword Douluo said in a deep voice: "The Breaking Clan's Soul Breaking Spear is also a top-tier Tool Martial Soul. Yang Wudi's attack power is unique among Soul Douluo. I also want to spar with him, which might be beneficial to me."
Bone Douluo snorted coldly: "I heard that the Defense Clan's Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros and the Elephant Armor Sect's Diamond Mammoth are known as the strongest defensive Martial Souls in the world. I also want to see if my Bone Dragon Martial Soul is even stronger."
Yang Xiong: ...
Clearly, Ning Fengzhi understood the weight of this alliance better and also knew the character of Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, and Bai He: "Little Xiong, how do you think our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect should cooperate with the Three Single Attribute Clans? How should we arrange for them?"
Yang Xiong quickly said: "Sect Leader, I have already thought about this and discussed it with them. About thirty kilometers east of our Seven Treasure City, there is a mountain called Cloud Mist Mountain. We will settle all three clans on Cloud Mist Mountain, and they will be responsible for the specific construction."
"The distance between our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Three Single Attribute Clans is also just right. This distance is enough for Soul Masters to travel back and forth in half an hour, which is convenient for both sides' offensive and defensive alliance."
"Also, one more thing, we will only announce commercial cooperation to the outside world and not the alliance between us. When we truly encounter problems, it might be able to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy."
Ning Fengzhi thought for a long time before speaking: "Little Xiong, you have thought of everything. Just do as you say. I will arrange for people to tidy up Cloud Mist Mountain as soon as possible, and I will discuss the specific cooperation details with them later."
"By the way, did the Star Luo Empire say anything? Such a large-scale migration of Soul Masters will probably attract the attention of the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall."
Yang Xiong shook his head: "I have talked with the First Prince Dai Weisi of the Star Luo Empire. The Star Luo Empire will not interfere. The Three Single Attribute Clans should all move over in about half a month."
Although Ning Fengzhi was a little surprised, he didn't dwell on the issue any further. "Little Xiong, you've worked hard on this trip to the Star Luo Empire. You've made a huge contribution to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Feel free to ask for anything you want."
With that, Ning Fengzhi waved his hand, and a lead box appeared in his grasp. A red light flickered within the box, revealing a soul bone.
Ning Fengzhi said, "Little Xiong, this is a thirty-thousand-year Earth Demon Bear right arm soul bone. It's considered a top-tier strength-type soul bone, no worse than the three soul bones from the Spirit Hall, and it's very suitable for your path of strength. I originally planned to give it to you later, but since you've made such a contribution to our sect this time, I'll reward you with it in advance."
"Of course, with your talent and strength, you shouldn't lack soul bones in the future, but you must remember, try not to absorb soul bones below thirty thousand years, no matter how suitable they are."
Before Yang Xiong could refuse, Ning Fengzhi directly used his soul power to move the lead box into Yang Xiong's hand. It seemed he had indeed prepared it beforehand.
Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking. "Sect Leader, I actually gained quite a bit from this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, especially after communicating with Clan Leader Yang Wudi. Perhaps we can significantly enhance our sect's strength."
A hint of doubt appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face. "How is that possible? I understand the sect's current situation. Although using whale jelly has somewhat improved the core disciples over the years, increasing overall strength by about ten percent, the sect has also hit a bottleneck and likely won't be able to improve further in the short term."
Yang Xiong didn't hesitate and directly took out four jade boxes he had prepared from his person. Even the knowledgeable people present felt the extraordinary nature of the jade boxes.
Yang Xiong opened one jade box first. Inside was a very peculiar herb. The herb had only three leaves, but the entire plant made people feel refreshed and relaxed.
"This is the Clear Heart Three Leaf Clover. It can enhance one's understanding of their martial soul. Sword Douluo teacher, your martial soul is the Seven Kill Sword. Perhaps this spirit herb can improve your understanding of the Seven Kill Sword, and your swordsmanship might reach a higher level."
Sword Douluo, who had been exceptionally calm, was also startled. The Seven Kill Sword was originally the most top-tier martial soul in history, but he had always been stuck at the peak of level ninety-six, unable to make any progress in recent years. Perhaps his understanding of his martial soul was insufficient, and the Clear Heart Three Leaf Clover might truly have a significant effect on him.
Immediately after, Yang Xiong opened the second jade box. Inside the jade box was an earthy yellow sweet potato. There was a faint dragon aura within the gourd.
"This is the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd. It is an earth-attribute heavenly treasure with dragon attributes. Legend says it has the effect of an earth dragon turning over. Bone Douluo teacher, your Bone Dragon martial soul has dragon and earth attributes. If you consume the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, you might be able to advance further."
Bone Douluo was equally surprised. Due to the limitations of his talent, he had been unable to make any progress over the years and would likely only reach level ninety-five by the time he died. Now, encountering such a heavenly treasure, even his Bone Dragon martial soul seemed a little restless. This was definitely a perfect match for him.
Yang Xiong didn't stop and opened another jade box. Inside the jade box was a purple ginseng root over a foot long, especially extraordinary with purple energy permeating it.
"This is the Purple Spirit Dragon King Ginseng. It contains the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If the Sect Leader consumes this ginseng, there might be hope of compensating for your shortcomings and breaking through the limitations of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Ning Fengzhi was already extremely happy looking at the two immortal herbs before. After all, if Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's strength truly increased significantly after consuming the immortal herbs, it would be the greatest fortune for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If their soul power broke through, not only would their strength greatly increase, but even their lifespan could be extended significantly, allowing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to better continue its glory.
But now there was an immortal herb that could allow him to break through his limits. Didn't that mean the martial soul breakthrough he had pursued his entire life was within reach?
Ning Fengzhi became a little excited. "Little Xiong, does this Purple Spirit Dragon King Ginseng you mentioned really have this effect? Can it really allow me to break through my limits?"
Yang Xiong's face also looked exceptionally serious. "Recently, I communicated with Yang Wudi about some knowledge regarding medicinal herbs. The Sect Leader should know that the Breaking Clan has its own inheritance in medicinal herb research, and their information should not be wrong."
A hint of struggle appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face, and he finally said helplessly, "This kind of herb is exceptionally rare. I think it's better for Rong Rong to take it. With Rong Rong's talent and age, she might be able to elevate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to a higher realm."
Ning Rongrong on the side quickly spoke up, "Dad, don't say that. I will definitely cultivate diligently and be able to improve myself in the future. You should personally consume this spirit herb. I still hope Dad can protect me more."
Then Ning Rongrong glared at Yang Xiong. "Dad should know that Little Xiongzi and I are together. Little Xiongzi's things are mine. I don't believe he won't help me."
Ning Fengzhi showed a hint of helplessness upon hearing this, while Yang Xiong was speechless. Couldn't these father and daughter wait until he finished speaking before deciding?
