Wei Zhenshan's breathing became slightly faster.
At his level, he knew the importance of a top-level defensive martial spirit to the sect.
The Burning Heaven Sect is currently more than capable of strong offense, but it does have shortcomings in top-notch defense and team protection.
If the Black Tortoise Martial Spirit is really as powerful as described, its strategic value is immeasurable!
As for the plate-armored giant rhinoceros?
The Yu clan has existed for quite some time.
Although this can be considered a top-level defensive martial spirit, its actual combat capability is really not that good. It would be better to let them stick to their old profession and do construction.
If the Burning Heaven Sect could possess a martial soul inherited from the sacred beast Xuanwu, its overall strength would be raised to a higher level.
Wei Zhenshan, who vowed to make the Burning Heaven Sect rise, focused on this point.
The current Burning Heaven Sect has surpassed the Burning Heaven Sect in history that only had one Titled Douluo.
But after possessing the Dragon Tomb and the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, Wei Zhenshan was no longer content with the status quo.
"Lingling learned this from the Ye family's intelligence network. It shouldn't be false."
Wei Feng affirmed:
"According to her, the Xuanming Sect has only been established for a few decades, has a shallow foundation, and acts quite low-key. However, their potential is not low. If they are allowed to develop freely, they may even produce a Defense-type Titled Douluo in the future."
Wei Zhenshan stood up, paced around the hall for a few steps, and said thoughtfully:
"Xuanming Turtle...Xuanwu Turtle...If it's true, then this Xuanming Sect has produced a bunch of remarkable defensive spirit masters. Feng'er, what do you mean?"
Wei Feng also stood up, walked to his grandfather, and said in a low voice:
"Grandpa, now that the sect has just been established, we are in need of people.
Isn't such a family that has inherited the top-level defensive martial spirit, has a shallow foundation, and is on the rise the best target for absorption?
Rather than waiting for them to grow stronger and become a powerful force in the future, it is better to incorporate them into our Burning Heaven Sect system now!"
Wei Feng paused, his eyes gleaming with wisdom beyond his years:
"What's more, I suspect their Black Tortoise Martial Spirit may have the potential to advance even further!
It's just that they haven't figured it out yet. If they get the resources and support of the sect, they may be able to cultivate a true "Xuanwu" bloodline!
By then, our Burning Heaven Sect's defense system will be impregnable!"
Wei Zhenshan turned his head abruptly, staring at his grandson with burning eyes:
"A step further? Black Tortoise bloodline? Feng'er, have you discovered anything?"
He knew very well that his grandson often said surprising things, which were often right on the mark.
Wei Feng smiled mysteriously:
"It's just a hunch and a guess.
Grandpa, you see, the Xuanming Turtle is already top-level, and the Xuanwu Turtle after the second mutation is even more powerful, and its morphological characteristics must be closer to the ancient sacred beast Xuanwu.
This shows that their martial spirits are extremely powerful, but they lack proper guidance and stimulation. And we have the Dragon Tomb!"
"The true dragon remains and dragon soul energy in the Dragon Tomb have a strong nourishing effect on all creatures with dragon blood or potential.
Although Xuanwu is not a dragon, it is also an ancient sacred beast with an extremely high bloodline level. Perhaps it can also benefit from it?
Even if they can't, the sect's vast resources are more than enough to support them in various attempts."
After listening to this, Wei Zhenshan was silent for a moment, his eyes flashing violently, obviously he was making a fierce weighing of the pros and cons.
Finally, he clapped his hands and said decisively:
"Okay! As you say!
This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible!
I immediately dispatched two sharp and negotiation-savvy deacons, bearing generous gifts, to visit Sect Master Xu on the shores of the East China Sea, in the name of congratulating the Xuanming Sect on its founding and exchanging cultivation experiences!
The current headquarters of Xuanming Sect is different from the headquarters of Xuanming Sect ten thousand years later, which is normal.
After all, ten thousand years is enough time for a lot of things to happen.
Wei Zhenshan looked at Wei Feng, his eyes full of admiration and expectation:
"Feng'er, your sharpness and foresight are truly a blessing to the sect! If this can be accomplished, you will be credited with the primary achievement!"
Wei Feng smiled modestly:
"My grandson is just talking, but the specific implementation will still require the care of grandfather and the elders."
After all, it can be roughly inferred that the leader of Xuanming Sect also has certain ambitions.
He might not be happy to disband the Xuanming Sect and merge it into the Burning Heaven Sect.
There will definitely be certain conditions and costs involved, but as long as they are within an acceptable range, they are all acceptable.
"Haha, good! I'll go discuss the details of this matter with your Uncle Yunze and Patriarch Ye."
Wei Zhenshan was very happy and went to find someone immediately.
Looking at his grandfather's departing back, Wei Feng's lips curled up.
If the Xuanming Sect is absorbed into the Burning Heaven Sect.
Even if the plot develops normally.
Ten thousand years later, Xu Sanshi might no longer have the surname Xu, or he might still have the surname Xu, but he would be a member of the Burning Heaven Sect.
It's quite interesting to think about.
After leaving the main hall, Wei Feng did not return to his own house, but went to the "Baicaotang" in the sect which was specially allocated to the Ye family to handle business.
Although this place is named "Hall", it is actually a small mansion with a quiet environment and strict defense. Most of the people coming in and out are core members of the Ye family and managers of caravans from all over the country.
After the announcement, Wei Feng was led to an elegant study.
Ye Mengxue was looking over a thick stack of accounts at her desk. When she saw Wei Feng come in, she put down her pen and smiled gently but shrewdly:
"Young Sect Master, how did you find time to come to my place today? But the jewelry Yanyan and Lingling picked out are not to your liking?"
She had obviously learned about the shopping in Tiandou City.
Wei Feng saluted with a smile:
"Auntie Ye was joking, and they all liked it very much.
I came here this time to ask about the progress of the batch of goods I asked you to secretly purchase earlier."
Although Wei Feng did not directly say the word "whale glue", they both understood each other tacitly.
Ye Mengxue's expression became a little more serious when she heard this.
She stood up and walked to the door to make sure no one was eavesdropping before returning to the desk.
From the bottom of a stack of account books, he pulled out a seemingly ordinary account book with a blue cover, opened one of the pages, and pushed it in front of Wei.
"Don't worry, Young Sect Master. I have been personally supervising this matter and it has been carried out in complete secrecy."
Ye Mengxue lowered her voice and pointed at the encrypted records in the account book:
"We did not directly purchase the furs, but instead purchased them in small batches through three unrelated overseas chambers of commerce and five fur trading houses scattered across major port cities.
The acquired goods were not stored in a centralized location, but were mixed with common medicinal herbs and leather, and stored in three different secret warehouses along the southeastern coast of the empire."
The account book records the purchase quantity, price, time and warehouse number.
The numbers are quite impressive, and the price is much lower than the sky-high prices that may be reached on the market once its efficacy is exposed.
Wei Feng also hoped to continue to strengthen his body with the help of whale glue so as to increase the number of years he could absorb spirit rings in the future.
