Chapter 173: Reward Choices and the Plan to Subdue the Defense clan Family and the Breaking Clan Family!
After all, Tang Hao didn't need the qi and blood pill, and his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, had already refused it. As for Dai Mubai, they didn't have a strong relationship, and he was someone they still relied on for survival.
If there were enough qi and blood pills, Tang San might consider giving one to Dai Mubai as an investment in his potential. But given that he didn't have enough for himself, parting with one for the Strenge clan family already showcased his principle of repaying kindness.
Giving another to Dai Mubai? Absolutely Not!
On the other side, Tang Hao remained silent about Tang San's decision to only give one pill to Taitan. He didn't feel the need to voice any opinions. To him, the Strenge clan family was merely a servant clan, and their heavy losses due to their association with him and the Haotian Sect were irrelevant.
In the original story, neither Tang Hao nor the Haotian Sect showed any inclination to compensate the Strenge clan family, and that sentiment was even stronger now. After all, they were just servants. Wasn't it expected for them to serve the Haotian Sect? Tang San's willingness to gift even one qi and blood pill was already commendable!
Tang Hao felt a bit annoyed with Yu Xiaogang. After receiving the qi and blood pill reward from the second round of the quiz, if Yu Xiaogang had any sense, he would have taken the opportunity to gift a pill to his son, Tang San, after they left.
With Tang San's natural physical constitution and a full bottle of qi and blood pills, he might have reached the physical quality of a Soul King. Then he could absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring for his fourth soul ring!
But now, Tang Hao couldn't say anything. After all, their escape from the Spirit Hall's pursuit relied heavily on the Strenge clan's family's help. Being too stingy could lead to trouble.
Ultimately, Tang San made the right call. After receiving a qi and blood pill, Taitan adjusted his mindset, reverting to his previous attitude of considering the needs of Tang San and his father.
Earlier in the broadcast, Lin Yu had exposed the Strenge clan family's unwavering loyalty to Tang Hao. To avoid drawing the Spirit Hall's attention to this, Taitan suggested sneaking Dai Mubai out of the Strenge clan family's territory, as Dai Mubai wasn't on the Spirit Hall's wanted list.
Meanwhile, Tang San and his companions should maintain their disguises to avoid revealing their true identities. As long as they didn't expose their real faces, everything would be fine. Taitan had already fabricated identities for them within the family, informing all the members of the clan.
Given the Strenge clan family's protective nature, they would certainly keep quiet about Tang San and his friends. Moreover, since the Strenge clan family handled their soul awakening without any support from the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall had no idea about their real situation.
As long as they kept calm, with Tang San's incredible skills in disguise, the Spirit Hall wouldn't uncover the truth.
After considering it, Tang San and his companions quickly agreed.
Meanwhile, near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Lin Yu, having exited the Livestream, stretched lazily. Today, he had thoroughly scolded Tang San and even pulled a fast one on him—it felt fantastic!
But after loosening up, Lin Yu found himself deep in thought about how to utilize the two random lottery chances he had just earned.
Currently, he has a method for cultivating true energy, specifically the Longevity Technique, which is quite suitable for the Douluo Continent environment. This method allowed him to cultivate innate true energy with properties encompassing metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder, making it highly effective for both offensive and defensive capabilities.
As for physical training, Lin Yu was practicing a method from the Swallowing Star World, specifically the Five Hearts to Heaven technique, complemented by a powerful gun technique.
He was already well-equipped in this regard.
What he truly lacked was a method for refining his spirit or soul. This kind of technique would be invaluable to him.
Given that the attributes of his twin spirit weren't strictly mental, but the first two soul skills he had were still usable, while the skills from his third soul ring were spirit-based. The stronger his mental power, the greater the power of his third soul skills!
So one of the rewards he had to choose this time would undoubtedly be a technique for cultivating his soul.
After considering the options available, he settled on a method called the Qinglian Visualization Technique for refining his spirit.
Initially, Lin Yu had planned to select the Chaotic Qinglian Visualization Technique, as his spirit was a Chaotic Lotus. Wouldn't it be amazing to visualize that directly?
However, the system quickly doused his enthusiasm. It informed him that his soul was currently too weak to visualize something like the Chaotic Lotus; he wouldn't just be visualizing its surface, but also its profound and intricate essence. Attempting to do so might lead to his head exploding!
Thus, Lin Yu had to settle for the ordinary Qinglian Visualization Technique instead.
As for the second random reward he had obtained during the broadcast, after much deliberation, he decided to hold off on that choice for now.
He already had a clear direction regarding that reward. If he wanted to establish a powerful force in the Douluo Continent, he had already secured Dugu Bo and his Jade Phosphor Serpent Clan.
Next, he aimed to subdue the Nine Heart Begonia family.
After that, he planned to recruit the Defense Clan family and the Breaking Clan family, both of which bore a strong grudge against the Haotian Sect. These two families were immensely powerful!
Among them, the Breaking Clan family was not only strong but also excelled in potion-making, making them highly desirable to recruit!
As for how to win over the Breaking Clan family, Lin Yu had a backup plan based on their animosity towards the Haotian Sect. His ultimate strategy, however, was to see if he could exchange for a potion-making manual.
If the Breaking Clan family was reluctant to join just for the sake of revenge against the Haotian Sect, he could then present the potion-making manual. He was confident that Yang Wudi would be tempted.
But for now, he was only mulling over the ideas for recruiting the Defense and Breaking Clan families since he had no idea where they were located.
Later, he planned to ask Dugu Bo to use his connections to find them, but since it seemed both families weren't based in the Tiandou Royal City, he had no idea if or when he'd be able to track them down.
