Douluo: From Rusted Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 170 Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng Acquired
The tense atmosphere eased slightly, and Titan and Tyrone immediately spotted Ma Hongjun.

"Fatty, it's been more than ten days since we last met. I never expected that we would meet in this place."

"Talon, I never expected to run into you here."

At this moment, Baihe originally intended to kick this uninvited fat man out of the mansion, but considering that Tailong knew him well, he decided to let it go.

"Grandpa Bai, let me introduce you. This is my good brother Ma Hongjun, and also my good buddy who fought alongside me in the Soul Master Competition."

After glancing at Bai Chenxiang, whose eyes were full of disdain, Tyrone roughly understood that something unpleasant had happened between the two earlier. He immediately explained on Ma Hongjun's behalf.

“Sister Chenxiang, don’t let the fat man’s seemingly lewd appearance fool you. He’s actually a very good person, and his martial soul is an extremely rare and top-grade beast martial soul—the Fire Phoenix.”

"What? The Fire Phoenix Martial Soul?"

Before Bai Chenxiang could react, Bai He was extremely surprised. The Phoenix Martial Soul was the king of all birds, and the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul originated from the Fire Phoenix Sect, which was destroyed hundreds of years ago.
According to the ancestral records of the Min clan, their ancestor was an ordinary outer disciple of the Fire Phoenix Sect hundreds of years ago. At that time, the Fire Phoenix Sect could summon more than 2 Soul Masters, which was even stronger than the Clear Sky Sect at its peak.

In particular, all the disciples of the Fire Phoenix Sect possess bird-type martial souls, and the sect has over a thousand direct disciples whose awakened martial souls are all of the phoenix type.
Moreover, all of their martial souls are true phoenixes, not bird martial souls with phoenix bloodlines. Their sect's strength is so great that it can vaguely rival the Spirit Hall of yesteryear.

If it weren't for the internal crisis within the Fire Phoenix Sect, and the excessive hunting of numerous phoenix-type soul beasts that resulted in the loss of some of the five soul inheritances, thus giving the Spirit Hall an opportunity to exploit the situation...
So now, the number one sect in the world is definitely not the Haotian Sect. Even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has to submit to the Fire Phoenix Sect.

After the Fire Phoenix Sect was destroyed, the newly established Clear Sky Sect, whose founders were blacksmiths, inherited a small portion of the Fire Phoenix Sect's legacy, which led to the existence of the gleaming Clear Sky Hammer and the majestic Clear Sky Sect.
It was during this period that the Bai family gradually developed and eventually formed the Min clan, which was not large in scale.

Unexpectedly, in his lifetime, Bai He would witness the once-shining Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, with its fiery wings spreading, symbolizing the Fire Phoenix Sect's thousand-year-old heritage.
This shows that Ma Hongjun's background is by no means simple; he should be the only direct bloodline of the Fire Phoenix Sect still existing in the world.

"Child, where is your hometown?"

Bai He looked at Ma Hongjun with excitement, as if he had found his own son.

"I am an orphan. Before I awakened my martial soul, I lived in Phoenix Village in the southwest of the Barak Kingdom. Why do you ask this? Do you know about my background?"

"Do you have a red feather pattern on your body, child?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun was greatly surprised. He stared intently at Bai He, nodding repeatedly and exposing the skin two fingers below his left shoulder.
Above is a small image of a red feather falling.

At this moment, the white crane was extremely excited.
“Child, you are quite good. Would you be willing to join my Min clan and become my son-in-law?”

These words shocked everyone; Bai He's change of attitude was far too swift. Bai Chenxiang, to his right, was quite displeased.

"Grandpa, this fatso keeps bothering me and makes me very uncomfortable. Why did you take him as your son-in-law?"

"We'll talk about this later. With Xiao Hongjun's martial spirit, Xiangxiang's future achievements will be no less than those of a Title Douluo."

In fact, Bai He hadn't finished speaking in front of everyone. Although their ancestor was only an ordinary outer disciple of the Fire Phoenix Sect, he still knew something about the cultivation methods of the Fire Phoenix and other types of phoenixes. Moreover, their ancestor had said that if they could marry a direct female or male disciple of the Fire Phoenix Sect, the Min Clan's Swift Martial Soul would very likely undergo a beneficial mutation, and the Min Clan's weakness in attack power would be completely eradicated.
Moreover, Bai He had another idea at this time: that if Ma Hongjun married a suitable woman in the clan, and one or two of their descendants awakened a Soul Master with the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul,

Therefore, the Min clan can overcome their greatest weakness and be reborn in the shortest amount of time.
Bai He most hopes that his lineage can obtain a benign mutation of the martial soul and the fire phoenix martial soul as soon as possible. Therefore, Bai Chenxiang, who will inherit the position of the Min clan patriarch in the future, is the most suitable candidate.

Although Bai Chenxiang was his most beloved granddaughter, compared to the future of the entire Min clan, she seemed insignificant. Moreover, Bai He wasn't exactly selling his own granddaughter.

After all, Ma Hongjun was just a son-in-law who had married into the family.

Upon hearing about his granddaughter's marriage, Ma Hongjun was stunned for a minute or two before suddenly nodding in agreement.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior. I will stay here on this trip."

"So good."

Bai He, who was laughing a little too much, calmed down his excitement and then said in front of Yang Wudi,
"From this day forward, my Min clan officially joins the Tang Clan."

Upon hearing this, Titan finally revealed a smile he hadn't shown in a long time. Niu Gao, however, did not join the Tang Sect; instead, he chose to stand with the Po Clan, sharing their fate.

"Old rhinoceros, old goat, we have different paths and cannot work together. Even if we each have our own direction, then this gathering can end early."

Bai He was eager to end the gathering quickly so he could help Ma Hongjun stabilize the evil fire within him, which was the problem causing the Fire Phoenix to be constantly troubled by the evil fire.
Only in this way can she feel at ease marrying Bai Chenxiang to Ma Hongjun.

"Since you hate the Clear Sky Sect and the Tang family so much, then from this day forward, our four single-attribute clans will be completely divided. From now on, there will be no more so-called Power, Defense, Agility, and Breaking clans. There will only be the Tang Clan and the other two Soul Master families. And your Breaking and Defense clans will have no relation to our Tang Clan."

Titan was very disappointed with Niu Gao's behavior. He never expected that Niu Gao, who didn't have much of a relationship with Yang Wudi, would abandon his old friend and choose to side with Yang Wudi.

At that moment, Ji Wuming spoke rather politely.
“I’ve heard that your Min clan has a family heirloom. Why don’t you sell it to me? I happen to need it. Name your price.”

“I, Baihe, will absolutely not sell the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng. You may leave now.”

Upon hearing the term "family heirloom," Bai He glared at Yang Wudi, knowing that Yang Wudi must have leaked the information about the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng to Ji Wuming.

"Then I'm too lazy to waste words with you. This is the thing I want most on this trip. Since you refuse to sell, I'll have to force you to sell."

Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared beside Ji Wuming. Dugu Bo tossed a gold card with 10 gold soul coins towards Bai He.

An extremely powerful Title Douluo soul pressure forcefully forced Titan, Bai He, and the others present to their knees.

“I am not an unreasonable person. Buying your Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng for 10 gold soul coins is already the most extravagant thing I can do.”

Then Dugu Bo walked up to Bai He and forcibly took an exquisite wooden box from its soul tool. He opened a corner slightly, and a ginseng that was light blue and looked like crystal lay flat in the wooden box.
