Yang Xiong looked at Yang Wudi with a half-smile and asked, "Senior Yang Wudi, in your opinion, what is the value of a Aromatic Silk Beauty? How much money can it be bought for? Besides, you should also know that I come from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Is there any power in this world richer than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Yang Wudi fell silent upon hearing this. He had searched for the Aromatic Silk Beauty his entire life, and even the Breaking Clan had searched for countless generations. Naturally, he knew the value of the Aromatic Silk Beauty.
Such an Immortal Herb is a priceless treasure. Even the entire Breaking Clan might not be worth this Immortal Herb. One must know that Immortal Herbs require ten thousand years or even one hundred thousand years to grow, and their value is comparable to a 100,000-Year Soul Ring. It's just that the Douluo Continent doesn't have the concept of Immortal Herbs. The only people on the entire Douluo Continent who truly understand information about Immortal Herbs are Yang Wudi and Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Neither side spoke at this moment. This clearly seemed like a silent negotiation, and whoever spoke first would be at a disadvantage.
But clearly, Yang Wudi was more impatient, as he was more fixated on the Aromatic Silk Beauty.
"Kid, you win. What exactly do you want? Anything my Breaking Clan can do is fine, but it absolutely cannot violate our principles."
Yang Xiong smiled and said, "Senior is quite interesting. What I want is naturally something the Breaking Clan can do. If it's something you can't do, what's the point of me coming?"
"However, if I wanted the entire Breaking Clan, would Senior be willing?"
Yang Wudi's face flushed with anger upon hearing this. "Bold! My Breaking Clan has hundreds of people. Do you think you can make us submit with just a mere Immortal Herb? Even if your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is strong, it's impossible! This is impossible!"
Yang Xiong smiled and said, "Senior is a bit mistaken. I don't want you to submit, and I've already said that I'm here on my own behalf, not representing the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Yang Wudi was a little confused. "What exactly do you want? Do Ning Fengzhi and the others know that you've come to the Breaking Clan this time?"
Yang Xiong smiled. "My affairs don't necessarily all need to be known by the Sect Leader. The Sect Leader only needs to know that I am loyal to the Sect and that I contribute to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I don't care about anything else, and I believe the Sect Leader won't either."
Yang Wudi said, "Ning Fengzhi is a businessman, but he will absolutely not allow the people he cultivates to betray the Sect."
Yang Xiong was silent for a moment before speaking. "I have never betrayed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but I will absolutely not be a Sect Guardian Douluo forever. I plan to establish a new Sect in the future. This Sect can support the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and perhaps both sides can get what they need."
"And my purpose in coming to the Breaking Clan this time is to hope for Senior Yang's support."
This was the first time Yang Xiong had revealed his thoughts to an outsider. He hadn't even told Lin Gong before, but Yang Xiong knew very well that when facing someone with Yang Wudi's stubborn personality, it was better to be direct than to beat around the bush.
However, with Lin Gong's shrewdness and insight, he had probably already guessed his little thoughts, but neither side had pointed it out.
Yang Wudi snorted coldly. "You are just a mere Soul Ancestor now, yet you have such great ambition. I'm afraid your strength doesn't match your ambition."
Yang Xiong just smiled. "I naturally have strength. Although I am only level forty-five now, I am confident that no one within the Soul Emperor rank is my opponent. This kind of combat power should be passable."
"Of course, if you give me twenty years, I am even confident in challenging experts like Clan Leader Yang."
Yang Wudi burst into laughter upon hearing this. "Kid, you are still a bit too naive. Do you know what a Sect truly needs? What does it matter how many experts there are?"
Yang Xiong shook his head. "Senior Yang is joking. I naturally know what a Sect needs more. As you said, a Sect needs inheritance, not experts."
"Among the many major powers in this world, only the Upper Three Sects and the Spirit Hall have been able to inherit for countless years."
"The Spirit Hall relies on the inheritance of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is the highest quality Martial Soul in the world. The Clear Sky Sect relies on the inheritance of the Clear Sky Hammer, and of course, there are the so-called Clear Sky Nine Secret Skills and the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. The most important thing is naturally their divine skill, the Great Sumeru Hammer."
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family relies on its unique Dragon Transformation secret technique, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect relies on the ultimate support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
"If I don't have the confidence to achieve the same level of inheritance as them, then there is no need to form a new Sect at all. It would be better to stay in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a lifetime, wouldn't it?"
Yang Wudi just snorted coldly. "I don't care what secret techniques you have mastered, and I don't care what inheritance you have mastered. After my Breaking Clan left the Clear Sky Sect back then, we never thought of joining any other Sect again. Even a powerful Sect like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is out of the question, let alone someone like you who has no foundation."
Yang Xiong smiled and said, "I am naturally aware of what the Clear Sky Sect did to the Breaking Clan back then. I naturally understand Senior's concerns. In the future, if Senior feels there is any unfairness, you can naturally lead your clansmen away. After all, I am not Senior's opponent now."
Yang Wudi's gaze was like lightning. "Aren't you afraid that I will take your Aromatic Silk Beauty and then ignore you?"
Yang Xiong said, "There may be some affection between people and between Sects, but I have always believed that it needs to be based on common interests. Only by not harming anyone's interests is it possible to grow together. Since I dare to say such a thing, I naturally believe that what I give to the Breaking Clan is far greater than the Breaking Clan's contribution."
"Moreover, the new sect I establish in the future won't have any so-called subservience between us. Instead, we will come together because we share common interests."
"Senior Yang, you are also an old hand in the Soul Master world. The Soul Master world has been too peaceful in recent years. After the great war between Spirit Hall and Clear Sky Sect, Clear Sky Sect retreated. Now Spirit Hall has accumulated strength for more than ten years, and I'm afraid they will soon move against other sects. I believe the Breaking Clan has always been an enemy of Spirit Hall and won't just stand by and watch Spirit Hall unify the entire Soul Master world."
After hearing Yang Xiong's words, both Yang Wudi and Lin Gong beside him were startled. They hadn't expected Yang Xiong to think so far ahead.
Yang Wudi, who had initially underestimated Yang Xiong a little, now became serious. "Yang Xiong, what exactly do you want to do with my Breaking Clan? My Breaking Clan won't easily hand ourselves over to others."
A smile appeared on Yang Xiong's face. Since he held the initiative, he wasn't afraid that Yang Wudi wouldn't take the bait.
"I think I already said it. I want to build a completely new sect in ten years. This sect will have a new cultivation method and will eventually be able to contend with Spirit Hall."
Yang Wudi said, "Kid, do you know how truly powerful Spirit Hall is? Let alone you, even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is too weak in front of Spirit Hall."
A hint of disdain appeared on Yang Xiong's face. "Spirit Hall is indeed powerful enough. They have more than ten Titled Douluo alone, and even three to four thousand ordinary Soul Masters. This is far beyond what the Upper Three Sects can compare to. But if I didn't have confidence, there would be no need for me to come to the Breaking Clan."
"Moreover, although I am young, I have mastered some unique cultivation methods over the years. Perhaps in terms of numbers, I cannot compare with the Upper Three Sects, but I can definitely cultivate enough top-tier experts."
A hint of confusion appeared on Yang Wudi's face. "Do you know that every Titled Douluo is very extraordinary? Currently, only the Upper Three Sects have Titled Douluo, and even the Lower Four Sects don't have any. And Spirit Hall has more than ten Titled Douluo."
Yang Xiong didn't answer Yang Wudi's question. Instead, he spoke about Yang Wudi's situation. "Senior Yang, I know that your Breaking Clan's Soul Breaking Spear is a top-tier Tool Martial Soul, but your family history has never produced a Titled Douluo. On one hand, it's because the inheritance of the Soul Breaking Spear is still quite inferior to the Clear Sky Hammer, and there hasn't been a peerless genius like Tang Chen."
"On the other hand, it's because your clan loves alchemy. As the saying goes, medicine is three parts poison. I'm afraid your blood has long contained various toxins, and the intertwining of these toxins has limited your growth. This is also one of the reasons why you have been searching for the Aromatic Silk Beauty all these years."
"However, for Clan Leader Yang, the toxins in your body have probably already penetrated deep into your bones. Even with the Aromatic Silk Beauty, it won't have much effect. But if there are other Immortal Herbs, perhaps you might have a chance to break through to Titled Douluo in this lifetime."
Yang Wudi said, "Yang Xiong, you have quite a deep understanding of our Breaking Clan. Could it be that you have been plotting against us for a long time?"
Yang Xiong smiled. "There's no plotting or not plotting. I've already said that everyone gets what they need. I need time to grow, and you also need a new path for development."
Yang Wudi was silent for a long time before speaking. "Then what are your plans now? It's impossible for me to take the entire Breaking Clan with you just based on your words and one Immortal Herb."
Yang Xiong said, "Of course. The Breaking Clan and I will naturally be mutually beneficial. You will first move near the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and then we will confirm the new sect's location in the future."
"I will provide you with the Aromatic Silk Beauty, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will provide you with all resources, including the medicinal materials you refine, which the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can purchase at twenty percent above the market price."
"In addition, the Breaking Clan will form an offensive and defensive alliance with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. When encountering enemies, you will face them together. Of course, if you are attacked by enemies due to actively provoking them, this matter will not be restricted by the offensive and defensive alliance, and you can ignore it."
"Neither I nor the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will have a subordinate relationship with the Breaking Clan. Everyone will be treated equally. If the Breaking Clan suffers any grievances in the future, you can leave on your own, and the offensive and defensive alliance will naturally be voided. However, you will need to return the obtained Immortal Herbs, and other interests will not interfere with each other."
"But if your Breaking Clan wants to join other sects, you will not only need to return the Immortal Herbs but also compensate for the difference in benefits between the two sides. However, I think this is unlikely. At least the Breaking Clan should not casually join other sects again, after all, the Clear Sky Sect did stab you in the back back then."
These proposals were all carefully considered by Yang Xiong. At this stage, besides the Immortal Herbs, he really couldn't give Yang Wudi much. What he truly wanted was just time and knowledge of Immortal Herbs, or rather, the hundreds of experts from the Breaking Clan in the short term.
Yang Wudi was extremely hesitant at this moment. After all, the Aromatic Silk Beauty was too rare, and according to what Yang Xiong said, no matter how you looked at it, the Breaking Clan didn't seem to be at a disadvantage.
And Yang Xiong continued, "Oh, by the way, Senior Yang, I have another small transaction. This can be listed separately, and it will definitely not put you at a disadvantage."
