114: Chapter 114 The Destroyer Clan, A Gathering of the Four Great Clans?

Among the four great single-attribute families, the Defense Clan and the Breaking Clan are the easiest to win over, though Su Ling does not currently have plans to establish his own faction independently.

However, this does not hinder him from gathering these two families first; after all, when he needs to get things done, he does not necessarily have to keep troubling the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

As long as he needs to build his own force, he can immediately gather a group of Spirit Masters loyal to him.

Moreover, with his current financial resources, after killing so many Spirit Masters from Spirit Hall, the number of gold coins he has already exceeds ten million.

This is not the most valuable thing; if a white treasure chest happens to yield a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Bone, it would be priceless.

Supporting a force of hundreds or thousands of people is quite easy.

While Yang Qingyu was absorbing her spirit ring, Qin Lan stood Guard nearby, and Liu Erlong also watched along with her.

Yang Chengmo walked over to a spot not far away with Su Ling to chat.

"Su Ling, you mentioned that Senior Liu is the Vice Dean of Shrek Academy. This Shrek Academy won the championship of this Advanced Spirit Master Tournament. I heard that there is someone in Shrek Academy with the same name as you, also called Su Ling, who is already a Spirit Emperor at twenty years old and helped the academy win the championship single-handedly. Could this Su Ling be you?" Yang Chengmo looked at Su Ling and asked.

After winning the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, information about these champion members would naturally circulate in the Spirit Master's world, especially Su Ling, as the impression he left on people was truly too profound.

Su Ling nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Mo, that Su Ling is me."

"Truly impressive! Su Ling, with you in the Water Moon Clan, it will definitely become better and better."

"By the way, there are still two survivors of the Water Moon Clan in our Family. If they knew you were still alive, they would definitely be very happy," Yang Chengmo said.

When Su Ling arrived in this World through Transmigration, he was all alone, with no other relatives around him besides the goddesses.

"Is that so? I thought... I was the only one left alive from the Water Moon Clan," Su Ling said, feigning excitement.

"Su Ran and Su Xiaoxiao!"

Hearing these two names, Su Ling also had an impression in his mind.

This Su Ran is his cousin, eight years older than him.

At that time, Su Ling was seven years old when he absorbed his first spirit ring, and Su Ran was fifteen with level 31 Soul Power.

His first spirit ring was found by Su Ran and his father together.

When they returned, the Water Moon Clan had already met with disaster, and they also encountered an attack from several Spirit Masters from Spirit Hall.

To let Su Ling escape, Su Ling's father and Su Ran chose to hold off the attacking Spirit Masters to buy him a chance to survive.

Su Ling did not expect that Su Ran was actually still alive after being surrounded by several Spirit Masters.

"Is Brother Ran still alive?" Su Ling asked again.

The memories of his predecessor still influenced him, and upon hearing that Su Ran was alive, his heart became excited.

Yang Chengmo said, "He is alive, but..."

"Sigh... When we were evacuating, we met Su Ran and your father, but we arrived a little late. Your father had already died in battle, and although Su Ran survived, but... but his legs had been severed, and he only has one arm left."

Speaking of this, Yang Chengmo also had a look of sadness.

"Brother Ran!" Su Ling felt somewhat uncomfortable after hearing this, as there was still that memory of his predecessor in his mind.

Su Ling knew that he would never be able to discard this memory for the rest of his life; it would always affect him.

If Su Ran were dead, it wouldn't be a big deal, but as long as he knew the other party was still alive, there was some Karma involved that affected him, so Su Ling had to face it.

He didn't need to do too much; just doing enough to have a clear conscience would suffice.

"Uncle Mo, I understand. Thank you for taking care of Brother Ran," Su Ling said.

Scenes of his predecessor's daily life with Su Ran appeared involuntarily in his mind.

Su Ling's parents were usually very busy. Although they were a subordinate Family of the Clear Sky Sect, they had to rely on themselves for survival, and everyone in the Family had to hustle for survival.

They even had to hand over a portion of the gold coins they earned to the Clear Sky Sect; how should one put it, it was just like protection money.

When Su Ling was a child, it was Su Ran who helped him Cultivate and taught him knowledge about being a Spirit Master.

"Uncle Mo, what about Su Xiaoxiao?" Su Ling continued.

Su Ling also had the name Su Xiaoxiao in his memory, and it was very familiar.

This Su Ran was his third uncle's son, while Su Xiaoxiao was his eldest uncle's granddaughter.

Before Su Ling's accident, he was seven, and Su Xiaoxiao was six, having just undergone the Awakening of her Spirit and Innate Soul Power.

Su Ling remembered that Su Xiaoxiao's Innate Soul Power was not bad, at Innate Level 5.

Unfortunately, before the accident, Su Xiaoxiao had just advanced by one level of Soul Power.

Thinking of this, Su Ling felt that that group of people from Spirit Hall deserved to die, and those from the Clear Sky Sect deserved to die even more.

Yang Chengmo's expression was still not very good, and he said in a low voice, "Xiaoxiao... she was also found when we were escaping."

"At that time, Xiaoxiao was unconscious in the jungle, and her body was severely injured, which caused her to be unable to Cultivate Soul Power ever again. Furthermore, the injuries inside her body were too severe, and her current physical condition is getting worse day by day."

"The Clan Chief has been treating her all these years, but unfortunately, the results have not been very ideal."

"Before coming out this time, the Clan Chief said that Xiaoxiao might only have a few months left."

At first, when Su Ling heard that there were still people from the Water Moon Clan, he felt quite relieved.

But looking at it now, those who survived might be enduring even greater pain, their bodies constantly being tormented, which is more unbearable than death.

"Uncle Mo, after Qingyu absorbs her spirit ring, take me to see them," Su Ling said.

Yang Chengmo nodded and said, "We should indeed go take a look. If they see your current achievements, they will definitely be very happy."

Five hours later!

On Yang Qingyu's body, four spirit rings lit up, making her a Spirit Ancestor.

A twenty-one-year-old Spirit Ancestor is actually considered quite good in most academies and could become a main team member.

"Uncle Mo, Aunt Lan, I succeeded," Yang Qingyu said.

"Qingyu, congratulations on becoming a Spirit Ancestor," Qin Lan said with a smile.

"I still have to thank Uncle Mo and Aunt Lan. Grandfather said he had to go trade medicinal materials, so it's fortunate you accompanied me," Yang Qingyu said.

Yang Chengmo said, "The Clan Chief also has to consider the Family's livelihood. After all, this is a major client this time; a single transaction can equal the Family's usual annual income."

"By the way, Uncle Mo, you said you know him. Who is he? I seem to have some impression, but I can't recall," Yang Qingyu said with a puzzled look.

Qin Lan smiled and said, "Qingyu, do you remember that you were almost engaged to someone when you were a child?"

"An engagement?"

"Su Ling!"

Yang Qingyu looked at Su Ling again, observed him carefully, and immediately remembered.

"Brother Su Ling!" Yang Qingyu took a step and arrived at Su Ling's side.

"Are you really Brother Su Ling?"

[Ding... Yang Qingyu's favorability +10, obtained white treasure chest *6, yellow treasure chest *1]

Su Ling said, "Qingyu, do you still remember when we were little, we hid in the cupboard to sneak snacks and were locked inside for a day and a night?"

"It really is Brother Su Ling! That's great, you're still alive. I thought you..."

The excited Yang Qingyu hugged Su Ling.

Tears couldn't help but stream down.

[Ding... Yang Qingyu's favorability +50, obtained white treasure chest *20, yellow treasure chest *5, purple treasure chest *2]

[Ding... Yang Qingyu's favorability is greater than or equal to 60, do you want to bind the goddess?]

"Bind!"

Need you even ask!

[Ding... Congratulations on successfully binding the goddess Yang Qingyu.]

[Bound goddess: Yang Qingyu]

[Goddess comprehensive rating: 92]

[Favorability: 63 (Quite favorable)]

[Binding effect: The host can obtain 10% of the bound goddess's daily Cultivation effect without reducing the bound goddess's Cultivation speed.]

[Bound skill: Break (Passive skill, when the host uses arrows, it carries the effect of the Soul Breaking Spear, with an effect equal to 20% of Yang Qingyu's strongest piercing effect)]

As expected of Yang Qingyu; after confirming his identity, her favorability increased by 50 points at once, resetting Su Ling's highest record for favorability gained at one time.

"Brother Su Ling, it's truly great that you're alive!"

After hugging for a moment, Yang Qingyu might have felt a bit embarrassed and immediately let go of Su Ling, standing to the side.

Her face was slightly flushed. When she spoke, she wanted to cover it up, but realizing she couldn't, she could only tilt her head and look in another direction.

Why is Brother Su Ling so good-looking now that he has grown up?

He wouldn't be looking for Grandfather to talk about the engagement from back then, would he?

[Ding... Yang Qingyu's favorability +2, obtained white treasure chest *1]

"Qingyu, Su Ling is a member of Shrek Academy, a member of this championship team, the very idol you mentioned before," Yang Chengmo spoke again.

"Ah..."

"This..."

"Brother Su, is it really you? You are that Spirit Emperor Su Ling from Shrek?" Yang Qingyu looked at Su Ling again and asked.

Su Ling also smiled and nodded, then said, "It is me."

[Ding... Yang Qingyu's favorability +5, obtained white treasure chest *2, yellow treasure chest *2]

[Ding... Yang Qingyu's favorability is approximately equal to 70]

[Bound goddess: Yang Qingyu]

[Goddess comprehensive rating: 92]

[Favorability: 70 (Somewhat likes)]

[Binding effect: The host can obtain 20% of the bound goddess's daily Cultivation effect without reducing the bound goddess's Cultivation speed.]

[Bound skill: Break (Passive skill, when the host uses arrows, it carries the effect of the Soul Breaking Spear, with an effect equal to 30% of Yang Qingyu's strongest piercing effect)]

[Bound skill: Strengthen (Active skill, strengthens all physical attributes by 10%, duration of half an hour, cooldown time of twelve hours.)]

"Brother Su Ling, you are so amazing," Yang Qingyu looked at Su Ling with a look of admiration.

"This girl, how has she become so gentle towards someone," Qin Lan smiled.

"Indeed, in the past, no matter which man approached her, she never gave them a good look, and even..."

As Yang Chengmo said this, Yang Qingyu became even more embarrassed.

Yang Qingyu looked over speechlessly, and Yang Chengmo closed his mouth and stopped talking.

"Let's go, let's hurry back to the Family. Su Ling still needs to go see Xiaoxiao and Su Ran. You can chat about whatever you have to say on the road," Qin Lan reminded.

"Yes, Xiaoxiao... Brother Su Ling, let's hurry back; perhaps you can still see her one last time," Yang Qingyu said.

"Mm!"

"Sister Liu, I have to trouble you to make this trip with me," Su Ling looked at Liu Erlong and said.

"It's fine, I'll go with you," Liu Erlong nodded and said.

She also knew about Su Ling's background, so she definitely had to go along.

The five of them set off together, not delaying even though it was night.

Fortunately, this was an area of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts; with Su Ling clearing the path, they quickly exited the Star Dou Great Forest.

Along the way, Yang Qingyu chatted a lot with Su Ling, all about their experiences over these years.

After exiting the Star Dou Great Forest, everyone became familiar with each other.

The Breaking Clan now lives within the territory of the Star Luo Empire, which is about a three-day journey from the Star Dou Great Forest.

On the road, the group did not delay.

...Three days later!

The group arrived at the city where the Breaking Clan was stationed.

This city is called Xinglin City, which is a rather unique city on the Douluo Continent, and it also has an alias called Divine Medicine City.

Along this journey, Su Ling also saw that many villages were planting various medicinal herbs.

Also, near Xinglin City, there is a large mountain called Xinglin Mountain.

Xinglin Mountain is rich in medicinal resources, but it is also accompanied by danger. Ordinary people find it difficult to enter because this large mountain is also a small Spirit Beast Forest.

Originally, there were many Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and thousand-year soul beasts inside, but after many years of development, Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and thousand-year soul beasts are rarely seen inside.

Occasionally one or two might appear, but basically no one would enter this place to look for their third spirit ring.

Difficulty in finding them is one aspect, because even if you find one of a suitable age, the Soul Beast might not be suitable.

Generally speaking, only ordinary Spirit Masters would look for their first and second spirit rings here, but anyone who wants better spirit rings would choose to go to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Like the Breaking Clan, they have higher requirements for spirit rings.

Because in the Breaking Clan, what they want is the character "Break".

From the first Soul Beast spirit ring, the spirit rings absorbed later all have very high requirements.

Therefore, the Breaking Clan always goes to the Star Dou Great Forest to absorb spirit rings, even for their first spirit ring.

Entering Xinglin City, the entire city was filled with the scent of medicinal herbs.

Walking on the streets, there were mostly pharmacies.

Seeing Su Ling looking left and right, Yang Qingyu also spoke up: "Brother Su Ling, our Family also opened a Yang's Poison Shop in Xinglin City. Even if our pharmacy name is the same, we basically only deal in poisons now."

"I remember that in the past, you didn't just deal in poisons, right?" Su Ling asked curiously.

In his memory, when the Breaking Clan was with the Clear Sky Sect, poison was just one of their many types of medicine.

Yang Qingyu said, "When we came here over a decade ago, the medicinal herb businesses of various pharmacies were doing very well, and it was hard for us to get business at that time."

"Later, Grandfather discovered that the gap in the poison market in Xinglin City was quite large, so we simply focused on poisons."

"After focusing on poisons, our business improved immediately, and now we are the largest and best poison shop in Xinglin City."

"Brother Su Ling, look, the sixth shop ahead is our pharmacy!" Yang Qingyu pointed to a three-story shop in front.

They just passed by the pharmacy; the five of them did not go inside.

After all, Su Ling was not here to buy or sell poisons, and Yang Wudi was usually not at the pharmacy; usually, ordinary Family members were there managing the business.

Su Ling came here definitely to see Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ran.

Walking past the pharmacy, he just glanced inside from the outside, and then the group crossed a few more streets and arrived at the current station of the Breaking Clan.

According to Yang Qingyu's introduction, the two hundred or so people of their clan all lived inside, and after several expansions, it now covers nearly a hundred acres.

Just as they arrived at the entrance, Su Ling's System sound rang out again.

[Ding... Detected a goddess with a comprehensive rating of over 90 within 500 meters of the host!]

[Goddess: Bai Chenxiang]

[Goddess comprehensive rating: 92]

[Binding requirement: Favorability of 60 or above]

[Current favorability: Unknown]

Another goddess, has Bai Chenxiang also come to the Breaking Clan?

"Sister Qingyu, you're back so quickly this time."

Just as they reached the door, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl walked out. At such a young age, she was already a budding beauty. If one only looked at her appearance, it was quite good and should reach over 90, but she was not Bai Chenxiang; her goddess comprehensive rating was a bit lacking and not yet ninety.

This situation should be that her appearance is sufficient, but she is still lacking in talent and other aspects.

Yang Qingyu said, "Little Xuan'er, we were quite smooth this time; on the ninth day in the Star Dou Great Forest, we found my target Soul Beast."

"So that's how it is, it's good that it went smoothly!"

"By the way, Sister Qingyu, that Niu Bi from the Defense Clan has come again."

"This guy has been looking for you everywhere," Little Xuan'er said with a helpless look.

"Why has he come again!" Yang Qingyu frowned slightly, seeming not wanting to see this person.

Yang Chengmo said, "Qingyu, I actually forgot one thing. These few days are the days for the gathering of our four great single-attribute Sects, and the other three great families should all have arrived."
