'Moving People'
Dugu Bo's idea was spot on. If it had been half a year ago, Quan Yi would have accepted Dugu Bo's help without hesitation.
However, half a year ago, Huo Wu's Sixth Soul Ring completely changed Quan Yi's previous thinking.
A Soul Ring with a soul, a special life existing in the form of a Soul Ring.
This existence completely shattered Quan Yi's understanding of Soul Beasts and Soul Masters.
After studying it for some time, Quan Yi also discovered that Huo Wu's Sixth Soul Ring was slowly changing.
The patterns on the Soul Ring were gradually increasing, and the complexity of the patterns was approaching that of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
It was this discovery that led Quan Yi to conceive the idea of replicating the life of a Soul Ring.
To this end, Quan Yi had conceived a lot.
Of course, he couldn't reveal the matter of the Life Soul Ring to Dugu Bo yet.
Therefore, Quan Yi could only reply, "This is my trial, and it is also my battle alone.
Senior can help me for a while, but not for a lifetime.
The Seventh Soul Ring is just the beginning for me. If I rely on external forces from now on, I may end up losing the power to deal with powerful Soul Beasts."
Dugu Bo didn't suspect Quan Yi's statement. On the contrary, he admired Quan Yi even more.
"Alright, since you have such lofty aspirations, I won't disturb you."
After chatting for a while and sharing their daily lives, Quan Yi and Dugu Bo walked near the Yang Spring.
Quan Yi first threw the Blazing Sun Dragon Spear into the Blazing Yang Spring.
Returning to the Blazing Yang Spring, the Blazing Sun Dragon Spear conveyed a joyful emotion. It directly and spontaneously absorbed the Fire-attribute energy and special substances from the Yang Spring.
After doing this, Quan Yi also noticed that one-third of both the Blazing Apricot jiao shu and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Herb on both sides of the Spring Water were missing.
According to Dugu Bo's explanation, although he only took a very small portion each time he experimented, the accumulated number of times was too much, and a lot was inevitably lost.
However, Dugu Bo also said that in this space, the growth rate of herbs is ten times that of the outside world, and they will grow back as long as they are left idle for a period of time.
"However, with one-third lost, the medicinal properties of the herbs will also be greatly reduced. Can it last until Senior filters out the toxins in your body?"
Dugu Bo smiled lightly and said, "You don't know this, but the medicinal properties of these two poisonous herbs are amazing. If I directly refine the entire plant, although it can detoxify, it will also dissolve all of my poison skills.
I only need to take a small portion to solve the toxins in my body."
After hearing this, Quan Yi was completely relieved.
After doing his own thing, Quan Yi didn't stay too long.
After saying goodbye to Dugu Bo, Quan Yi returned to the hotel.
After resting for a night, the convoy set off again, heading west.
When the convoy left the town, the number of people in the convoy suddenly increased by hundreds.
However, because the number of carriages did not change, it did not attract the attention of outsiders.
In fact, with the Storage Soul Tools mastered by the Quan Family and Quan Yi's Scarlet Dragon, it was not difficult to take all the blacksmiths directly back to Han Hai City.
However, they still chose such a 'primitive' method because of other reasons.
That is 'moving people'.
With the expansion of the Quan Family on the ocean, they found that they had funds and technology, but they lacked a large population.
Although, within half a year, Quan Yi and the others had gathered more than 10,000 people in the ocean.
However, compared to the seventy million mu of land, it was still not enough.
Moreover, the population in the ocean is already sparse, and more than half of the people have their own livelihoods and will not easily join the Quan Family.
In order to solve the labor shortage, the Quan Family used shops all over the continent to attract a lot of labor.
Most of these people are poor people and beggars without a livelihood.
In Douluo Continent, the gap between the rich and the poor is extremely huge, and there are a lot of such people.
The Quan Family used their financial advantages to quietly absorb these people.
Of course, the Quan Family didn't accept just anyone; they carefully screened various conditions.
Those with bad character, who were deceitful and lazy, were rejected.
However, even so, they could find several hundred at most, and at least several dozen.
From Saus City to Han Hai City, there was a distance of thousands of miles.
Now, Quan Yi and the others had traveled about halfway, and the number of people in the caravan had already exceeded five thousand.
By the time they reached Han Hai City, this number would double.
In the carriage at the very front of the caravan, Huo Wu leaned against Quan Yi's shoulder with a solemn expression, silent.
An eerie silence filled the carriage.
Quan Yi knew that Huo Wu was affected by what she had seen.
During this time, Huo Wu had never imagined that so many people in this world lived in dire straits.
As a member of a Soul Master family, Huo Wu had never witnessed the real lives of the lower classes.
However, along the way, Huo Wu had seen too much misery.
This weighed heavily on Huo Wu's heart.
Quan Yi didn't say much, just quietly stayed by Huo Wu's side.
Although he felt uncomfortable in his heart as well, he was gratified that Huo Wu didn't choose to look away.
She felt heavy because she had seriously looked at the misery on the ground.
The entire caravan fell into an unusual silence.
Only the sound of wheels and horses' hooves could be heard.
Inside the other carriages sat countless thin and impoverished people, wearing clothes prepared by the Quan Family, their bodies thoroughly washed of dirt.
But none of this could truly hide the numbness in these people's hearts.
At this moment, they sat blankly in the carriages like goods.
Of course, this situation was much better than before.
In their numb eyes, there was a glimmer of light that had never been there before.
It was a light symbolizing hope.
The appearance of the Quan Family brought them a glimmer of hope.
It was this glimmer of hope that drove them to board this carriage to Han Hai City.
The caravan slowly moved westward, and during the journey, Quan Yi passed through cities with Quan Family shops according to the map.
After half a month of travel, the number of people in the caravan doubled.
Fortunately, the closer they got to the west, the more the Quan Family's caravan could transport people on its own; otherwise, the carriages Quan Yi had prepared might not have been able to accommodate so many people.
However, just as the caravan was passing through a small village, an extraordinary event caught Quan Yi's attention.
At dusk, Quan Yi saw that night was approaching, so he thought of resting for the night in an open space near the village.
Of course, due to the large number of people in the caravan, they did not choose to enter the village.
However, at this time when they should be cooking, not a wisp of smoke rose from the chimneys of the entire village.
To find out the truth, Quan Yi flew into the air above the village and activated his Scarlet Dragon Eye.
He saw that the interior of the village was a mess, with signs of damage to the houses everywhere, and, more seriously, there was blood everywhere in the village.
Under Quan Yi's Super Vision, he could see that this blood had long since dried up, and the color had deepened.
From this, it could be seen that the village had been attacked not long ago.
Quan Yi's gaze extended outward, and in an open space not far from the village, he discovered a shocking scene.
