Douluo Continent: I am the true master

Chapter 67 The Root of the Trouble (New author asking for votes!!! TvT)

"Gintoki, wind!"

Two pairs of wings made of blue silver grass appeared behind Ah Yin and slowly fluttered.

They put on masks for themselves and Ah Yin, because even with their cultivation levels, it would be troublesome if they accidentally inhaled the medicinal powder inside.

Ye Wen sprinkled the brownish-yellow powder little by little, and the wind and waves stirred up by A Yin carried the powder towards the beast tide, forming a mist.

Ye Wen had been thinking ever since his last battle with the War Drum Toad King.

If battles between Soul Masters can be fought by bullying the weak, that's fine. But what if they encounter strong opponents that they can't defeat even with skill or cultivation? Without a doubt, Ye Wen thought of medicine.

Unless the enemy is immune to all poisons, any corresponding medicine can weaken the enemy, bringing them down to the same level as oneself, or even lower.

Laxatives, sleeping pills, hallucinogens—there's bound to be one that the enemy can't handle.

What Ye Wen is now distributing is sleeping pills, and a high-potency, potent kind made from ancient medicinal herbs.

Even a Soul Saint would feel dizzy and lightheaded just from smelling this level of medicine, and inhaling it deeply would cause them to fall into a coma.

However, they could use their soul power to resist, but these soul beasts, who had fallen into a frenzy, were clearly beyond their ability to cope with. One by one, they gradually suppressed their life force and fell silent. Ye Wen looked over and saw that the fallen soul beasts had fallen into a state of slumber.

But their muscles were still writhing wildly, as if trying to unleash their pent-up violence.

Seeing this, Ye Wen frowned, a guess forming in his mind, and asked A Yin.

"Ah Yin, ask the Blue Silver Grass in Sunset Forest where these soul beasts started their rampage. That's probably the source of the problem, and only by dealing with that can we quell this beast tide."

Ah Yin nodded, raised her hands slightly upwards, and closed her eyes to sense the surroundings.

"Found you, brother. There seems to be a flower about three kilometers away in that direction. The fragrance it releases has caused all the soul beasts that smell it to go berserk."

The flower must be some kind of rare and precious treasure to have such a wide-ranging impact, so Ye Wen asked Ah Yin.

"Ah Yin, how much soul power do you have left?"

"Half, why?"

"Then I'll trouble you, Ah Yin, to go and collect that flower. If I'm not mistaken, that flower should be a rare and precious herb with special properties. Remember to dig up the roots as well."

Upon hearing that it was a good thing, Ah Yin immediately became interested and flapped her huge blue-silver wings to fly over there.

Although he was wearing a mask, Ye Wen was still a little worried and called out to Ah Yin as she walked away.

"When you get close to the flower, remember to hold your breath and don't smell it. Put it in your storage ring and come back quickly."

"Okay~"

Seeing this, Ye Wen shook her head. After all, she was still a little girl at heart, and had not experienced the dangers of this world.

Since the medicinal powder still lingered in the air, Ye Wen wasn't worried about the beast tide continuing its assault, but he couldn't just leave. After all, these soul beasts were easy prey in this state, and Ye Wen knew all too well what kind of people the fortress soldiers were.

If they see no one around, they will definitely go in and hunt these soul beasts to get their corpses and exchange them for money.

Human greed is such a bottomless thing. Even though they know that soul ring resources are related to the system of soul master cultivation, they still kill and hunt indiscriminately.

This era was alright, with the Spirit Hall keeping things in check. But by the time of Douluo Continent II, the teachers at Shrek Academy were able to produce low-level secret technique spirit bones created by killing a large number of low-level spirit beasts. It was truly barbaric and ignorant.

As Ye Wen expected, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School members who had just escaped told the fortress guarding the Sunset Forest's soul beasts at the pass about what had happened during the beast tide.

The one who arrived was a Soul Emperor. He was probably a scout sent by the fortress because he had some doubts about why the beast tide hadn't reached the fortress after so long.

Although he was a scout, he was a nobleman, and his luxurious combat uniform gave away his identity.

With typical aristocratic manners, he sized up Ye Wen for a while and found that although Ye Wen's clothes were made of good material, they did not have any luxurious patterns or powerful designs. He couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous and thought that the person in front of him was a commoner.

So, relying on his Soul Emperor cultivation level, he arrogantly ordered...

"Kid, what's with these Blue Silver Grass and Soul Beasts?"

Ye Wen glanced at the guy in front of him. Although he didn't want to deal with this kind of person, he still spoke.

"This beast tide has been dealt with. Go back and report to your superiors. As for these soul beasts, you are not allowed to touch them. They are my and my wife's personal spoils of war, and you have no right to dispose of them."

"Ha! You lowly commoner! Who taught you to speak to Lord Harbit like that? How strong could your cultivation be? How dare you boast that you took care of all these thousands of soul beasts?"

Habit clearly didn't believe Ye Wen's explanation, after all, Ye Wen was far too young.

Ye Wen was too lazy to waste words on such an arrogant and conceited person, so he simply threw the noble emblem bestowed upon him by the Heaven Dou Empire from his Martial Soul Space and said it to him.

"Do you understand it? If not, I'll explain it to you."

Harbit caught the item Ye Wen tossed to him; it looked very much like a noble crest exclusive to the patriarch of a family. He examined it carefully and his expression immediately changed.

"Earl Tianxing?"

In the Douluo Continent, every power has its own unique symbol, and the noble crests represent the noble ranks and titles among different countries.

The patterns on it represent specific information about the nobility, and the meaning of these patterns has formed a kind of pattern study among the nobility of the continent. As a nobleman, it is a very shameful thing not to recognize the pattern of the superior family.

"Okay, give me back the emblem. I'll handle the rest. This beast tide has been resolved," Ye Wen said calmly.

The hobbit nervously returned the emblem to Ye Wen, then respectfully bowed to him before hurriedly leaving.

Judging from his appearance, he must be from a large noble family. However, he must be the kind of person who is not well-liked, otherwise he wouldn't be working as a scout in this corrupt fortress.

Only someone of noble birth would value their noble status above all else. Even though Ye Wen is just a Soul Master on the surface, he can still frighten a Soul Emperor into trembling fear.

Not long after, Ah Yin returned. Ye Wen's lips twitched when he saw the giant plant that Ah Yin had seized.
