Capítulo 51: 51. Four Single Attribute Clans
Money can buy many things in this world, and what Ning Fengzhi lacks the most is money. But even so, he still couldn't buy their core research results because of one person: Yang Wudi.
Even though money can do wonders, it wasn't useful against Yang Wudi. Yang Wudi is a resolute person who is rather stubborn and quick-tempered. However, he is also rational and quite powerful. If it weren't for the current situation of the Broken Clan, Yang Wudi wouldn't even consider selling his clan's inherited knowledge, even a little bit.
After Tang Hao's fight with Qian Xunji and the latter's death, the Clear Sky Sect was targeted by the Spirit Hall and was forced to go into hiding. Since the Broken Clan is also one of the four affiliated clans of the Clear Sky Sect, it faced the wrath of the Martial Soul Hall and lost many people and resources. In the end, they were abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect and became like an abandoned dog without a master.
Since Ning Fengzhi came to the door, Yang Wudi compromised his bottom line for the future of his sect and sold some of his clan's knowledge for money. Even so, Yang Wudi didn't sell many of their secret pill recipes and other crucial knowledge, remaining stubborn. As a righteous sect, Ning Fengzhi also didn't use force against the Broken Clan to avoid losing his reputation. It's just Xie Yue's hobby; there is no need to get on the bad side of the Broken Clan just because they didn't sell their all knowledge.
If necessary, Ning Fengzhi could indeed exterminate the Broken Clan using Sword and Bone Douluo. Destroying a clan is as simple as raising a finger for them. But Ning Fengzhi won't do that. Because the STGT Sect relies on outsiders, they can't afford to lose their reputation and gain hostility from others. Once the STGT Sect's guardians die, Ning Fengzhi won't have the ability to resist the wolves he has gathered, much less protect his immense wealth.
So, ever since their establishment, the STGT Sect has never made enemies unless someone would affect or threaten their foundation and fundamental interests. Ning Fengzhi wasn't foolish enough to make more enemies; on the other hand, he enjoys making friends the most. So he didn't force Yang Wudi to hand over all of their clan's inheritance.
Xie Yue also didn't mind; he only wanted some books to complete his knowledge a little more. Nevertheless, he also gained some knowledge about immortal herbs from those books. This result was not out of Xie Yue's expectations; he anticipated that Yang Wudi would provide them with knowledge about Immortal Grasses from the start. Even though Immortal Grasses are legendary, and Yang Wudi may know about their abilities from the book, he only considered them a legend now and didn't give them much importance. So he still sold them for the money.
'Even so, it only recorded three immortal herbs, while the others are all normal herbs. But it's fine; I didn't need this knowledge anyway. After all, I remember all the details about immortal grasses mentioned in the Douluo Series. This book is just a little surprise to me, but nothing more. I only wanted to solidify my knowledge about medicine to be sure I would be acknowledged by Dugu Bo,' Xie Yue thought inwardly.
"Since that's the case, I'll keep these books," Xie Yue said as he took them back. There was no need to put them in their sect library since Ning Fengzhi would have already made a copy before giving them to Xie Yue.
Xie Yue was not a naïve boy; he knew there was no need to return these books. Can't they have a copy of these books? Are all the people in this world are not saints. who wouldn't keep a copy of this knowledge when borrowing it from someone else?
Naturally, once we gain something, destroying or keeping it is our own choice. Yang Wudi knows this, so he didn't give Ning Fengzhi their core knowledge and didn't ask Ning Fengzhi to keep the given books a secret from outside world or to return them back to him. Ning Fengzhi also understands this, so he didn't mind having several copies for himself.
Xie Yue also has his own agenda for acting like returning the books; Xie Yue returned those books to Ning Fengzhi only to let him know that he had already finished reading them.
He had to inform Ning Fengzhi of that before asking for more things, right? Xie Yue had his plans for doing this seemingly pointless thing like returning the book even after knowing there was no need to return it...
But that was for the future.
"Father, how is the recruitment of the four single-attribute clans going?" Xie Yue asked again.
"Sigh... My attempts weren't very successful. Even though they were abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect, the Strength Clan is still loyal to Tang Hao, so they didn't accept my proposal. As for the Speed Clan, that also failed since the Speed Clan leader, Bai He, is a relative of the Clear Sky Sect."
"The other two clans had the possibility of recruitment since they were very angry with the Clear Sky Sect, and Yang Wudi was the angriest person. But those single-attribute clan leaders have a very close friendship; they won't join unless all four of them agree together. When I tried to invite them, they rejected me, saying they would consider my proposal for a few more years," Ning Fengzhi explained the details to Xie Yue patiently. Xie Yue showed political talent after graduating from the Moon Pavilion, so Ning Fengzhi shared many insights about worldly affairs, allowing Xie Yue to improve his abilities.
After age nine, Xie Yue wanted to get involved in the STGT Sect's inner workings, so he decided to start demonstrating maturity step by step. Nearly three years later, he had increased his standing in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. He also exhibited great talent in management and politics. It wasn't a surprise to Ning Fengzhi and others, as they knew Tang Yuehua must have taught Xie Yue these skills.
"Ning Yue, do you have any ideas about how to successfully recruit them?" After sharing the details of the failed recruitment, Ning Fengzhi asked Xie Yue back.
