#83 - Take in the Min clan and give them magical herbs
“Hehe, Senior, there's no need to be so polite!” After saying that, Davis turned to look at Bai He and Bai Chenxiang, knowingly asking, “Senior, who are these two?”
Bai He took the initiative to step forward and bowed, saying, “Bai He, the patriarch of the Min Zhi Clan, along with my granddaughter Bai Chenxiang, greets His Highness the Crown Prince.”
Davis smiled and said, “So it's Patriarch Bai He of the Min Zhi Clan, I've heard of you for a long time.”
During this time, Bai He was also secretly sizing up Davis. Just as Yang Wudi had said, Davis was indeed a dragon among men. Just being near him, the aura he exuded was awe-inspiring.
Moreover, Bai He could also feel that, in front of Davis, his Swift Swallow martial soul was trembling violently. That feeling was one of fear and dread, clearly indicating that Davis's martial soul was very strong, enough to make his martial soul feel terrified.
Furthermore, Davis's strength was not weak either. He could clearly sense that the person before him was a Soul King, and a high-level one at that.
While Bai He was sizing up Davis, Davis was also secretly observing Bai He and Bai Chenxiang. The current Bai He was not yet a Soul Douluo, his soul power was only level seventy-five, even weaker than Yang Wudi.
As for Bai Chenxiang, her soul power was only a pitiful level sixteen, far inferior to Zhu Zhuqing, and even Anna.
“I wonder, what brings you two to me?”
“Well…” Bai He was carefully choosing his words, considering how to say it.
The Min Zhi Clan, to which he belongs, is extremely fast and excels at scouting intelligence; they are natural scouts. Currently, the relationship between the Empire and the Spirit Hall is strained, and it might eventually escalate into war.
The Empire is in need of manpower right now, so I brought him here, hoping he can assist Your Highness. Is that right, Old White Bird?”
Bai He was stunned upon hearing this, but he still followed Yang Wudi's words and said with a smile, “Hehe, that's right. I learned that Your Highness saved Old Goat's life and has shown him such great kindness. Old Goat's benefactor is my benefactor.
Now that Old Goat is a general of the Empire, if he's in trouble, I will naturally lend a helping hand. Therefore, I hope Your Highness will allow us to stay and help. I am willing to serve Your Highness wholeheartedly, even if it means going through fire and water.”
“Hehe, Senior Bai He is truly insightful! Very well, then Senior Bai He shall stay. The Min Zhi Clan can also move to Star Luo City to cultivate.
Once my father returns from the Star Dou Great Forest, I will take Senior to see him. I believe he will be very happy to learn of your arrival.”
“Oh? His Majesty has gone to the Star Dou Great Forest?” Yang Wudi asked in surprise, no wonder he hadn't attended the morning court sessions these past few days.
“That's right. During the battle with Chrysanthemum Douluo, my father had some insights, and a week ago, he successfully broke through level ninety…”
Boom!
Upon hearing this, a look of shock flashed across the faces of Yang Wudi and Bai He, their hearts filled with awe.
The Star Luo Emperor actually broke through to level ninety? Wouldn't that mean that the Star Luo Empire would have another Titled Douluo?
Bai He didn't expect to receive such good news upon coming to visit Davis. He couldn't help but nod in satisfaction, it seemed that joining the Star Luo Empire was indeed a good choice.
The two hurriedly cupped their hands and congratulated, “Congratulations, Your Highness! Star Luo will soon have another Titled Douluo!”
“With His Majesty breaking through to Titled Douluo, the Empire will surely be prosperous in the future!”
“Haha, thank you both for your kind words!” Davis smiled, then looked at Bai He and frowned, “Senior Bai He, if I remember correctly, the Swift Swallow of your Min Zhi Clan doesn't seem to have any offensive power.”
Hearing this, Bai He sighed and nodded, “That's right, our Min Zhi Clan are all pure agility-type soul masters. Although we are very fast, we are powerless!”
“Hehe, Senior, there's no need to belittle yourself. Everything exists for a reason. Even pure agility-type soul masters have their value. Please take a look, Senior.”
After saying that, Davis took out a repeating flintlock pistol and a hand grenade and handed them to Bai He.
Bai He's arrival gave Davis an idea: to form a powerful air force that comes and goes without a trace, conquering every battle.
The speed of pure agility-type soul masters can be said to be invincible among their peers. Coupled with hand grenades and other firearms, they are simply natural bombers.
Just imagine, hundreds of Swift Swallow soul masters circling in the sky, throwing hand grenades down like they're free. As long as there are enough of them, even the magnificent Spirit Hall can be razed to the ground!
Bai He took the flintlock pistol and the hand grenade and looked at them, not understanding what they were. “Your Highness, what are these?”
“Come, let me demonstrate for you both!” After saying that, Davis led them to the courtyard and fired a shot at a huge rock inside!
Bang—
A piercing gunshot suddenly rang out, the bullet bursting out of the barrel and leaving a deep hole in the five-meter-thick boulder. The boulder was also covered with cracks, as if it was about to shatter.
Bai He only heard a gunshot and didn't realize what had happened, but Yang Wudi had already noticed. He walked to the boulder, looked at the deep hole, and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
“Your Highness, what exactly is this? It actually has such terrifying power?”
“This is a weapon created by Master Lou Gao of the Forging Masters Association, called the Repeating Flintlock Pistol. The power of one shot is enough to kill a Soul Emperor-level soul master head-on.”
Hearing Davis's introduction, Yang Wudi and Bai He were both horrified. Even they could be killed with one shot if they weren't careful.
Davis continued, “Also, the thing in Senior Bai He's hand is called a hand grenade. You can use it by pulling the pin and throwing it.
The power of its explosion can injure a Soul Saint. If there are enough of them, it can even injure a Soul Douluo.”
The two were even more shocked to hear that one hand grenade could possibly kill them both.
Bai He was overjoyed. If the Min Zhi Clan could be fully equipped with repeating flintlock pistols and hand grenades, their strength would definitely increase tenfold!
Thinking of this, Bai He quickly asked, “Your Highness, what is the cost of these repeating flintlock pistols and hand grenades?”
“The cost is very cheap. One hand grenade only costs five gold soul coins, and the repeating flintlock pistol is a bit more expensive, but it doesn't exceed ten gold soul coins.”
Davis saw through Bai He's thoughts and said with a smile, “Senior Bai He, I plan to arm your Min Zhi Clan with these two firearms. With the help of firearms, you will have combat power.”
“Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!” Bai He was immediately moved to tears and bowed to Davis, almost kneeling down to him.
With the help of firearms, the Min Zhi Clan could be considered to have the ability to survive, but the benefits Davis was giving them didn't stop there!
“Hehe, Senior, there's no need to be so polite. Besides the flintlock pistol and hand grenades, I also have a great gift for you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a blood-red immortal herb appeared in his hand. The top of the herb's leaves resembled a rooster's comb, and the scarlet-gold veins emitted a scorching aura.
Upon seeing this immortal herb, Yang Wudi couldn't help but exclaim, “This is the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower!”
