Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Speed Clan
After being allowed to enter by the guardsmen, Lin Tian and his group walk through a hall towards the meeting room.
on the way Lin Tian can see how the Clan's building are really rundown and broken in many places, they simply cannot maintain because the clan not having enough money.
it is quite sad considering that speed clan was one of the four subsidiary clan of the Clear sky sect ten years ago, having a high status being the outer member of the strongest among the 3 upper sect in Douluo continent.
finally they arrive at a large room in a cylindrical shape and in the middle of the room are patriarch Bai He waiting for him.
"Greeting patriarch Bai, I hope my coming here didn't disturb you."
"Greetings sir and welcome to my humble abode, may I know who and why are you asking to meet me?"
while saying this patriarch Bai He start paying attention at Lin Tian and his group, the first impression he get from Lin Tian being a leader and a charismatic young man. Leading his restaurant development in many cities and meeting various noble has shaped up his current bearing which can be said as a charismatic Leader.
while the four behind him can be seen easily as bodyguards because of their position and readiness to act at a y time Bai He couldn't understand Zhu Zhuqing position in his group. he don't know why Lin Tian would bring a young girl into a meeting like this, but Bai He didn't dwell on this since the girl just quietly waiting behind Lin Tian.
"Oh where are my manners, Let me introduce myself my name is Lin Tian. I am the owner of the Heaven Taste restaurant as well the student of Grandmaster."
Normally Lin Tian would not include being the student of grandmaster in his introduction for the first meeting, But he specifically mentioned this to Bai He because he need some backing in order to make him submit.
hearing this Bai He was surprised, his clan was really good at gathering information of course he know how large the scale of the Heaven Taste restaurant is, being visited everyday by many rich patrons ranging from nobles and Spirit Masters making millions of gold coins monthly.
and he was surprised by the second part of the introduction, the student of Grandmaster! other Spirit Master will only sneered at this title but Bai He will not take it lightly.
After all Grandmaster might be one of the only few people that have some solution regarding their Clan's Martial Spirit Problem, and even if Grandmaster can't help to solve it he might have other knowledge that could help him find some answer.
"so it is Mr Lin Tian, it is a pleasure to meet you. please have a seat."
Lin Tian nodded, "Patriarch Bai before we start, is it all right if we borrow a room for my men to wait while we have a discussion."
"Of course, Men please send our guest to the guest room."
after saying this a member of the clan came and lead the four bodyguards and Zhuqing to the guest room. now only Lin tian and Bai He left alone in the room, finally both of them sit down in the chairs while facing each other.
"Patriarch Bai should've heard from the guards that I mention about proposal that will benefit us both."
"Yes, I'm actually a bit curious what your proposal is about."
"I'll be honest Patriarch Bai this proposal of mine actually will involve the 4 single attribute clans and also helping your clan solve the problem of not having battle strength."
"Hoh~ , please continue." Bai He said while squinting his eyes.
"Then first I'll start with your Clan's problem, not able to surpass level 38 when absorbing a spirit ring with attacking capabilities. Patriarch Bai what do you think will be the best way to solve this problem in your opinion?"
"I think the best way to solve it is through marriage with compatible Martial Spirit, changing the next generation Martial Spirit."
Lin Tian nodded, "Indeed this could be a way to solve your Martial Spirit problem, But patriarch Bai there's some part that you don't think about. this will not able to happen unless you are able to find the right clan with the compatible Martial Spirit to intermarriage with."
"As far as my knowledge extend there's only one type of Martial spirit that I know able to help your Martial Spirit to evolve and that is one of the three Earthly Sect the Ninth Heaven Rainbow Phoenix."
"as expected of the Grandmaster's student your knowledge really vast, indeed from what my clan speculated by merging with them our Martial Spirit will have chances to change." Bai Nodded agreeing with Lin Tian's answer.
"I'll be blunt Patriarch Bai changing your Clan's Martial spirit by doing this is impossible, There's indeed a huge chance of changing your Martial Spirit by marrying a member of the Ninth Heaven Rainbow Phoenix sect. But this clan is famous for only being a single line of its Martial Spirit wielders along side with the seven kills swords and Nine Heart Begonia."
shaking his Head Lin Tian continued, "Even if one of your clan member was somehow able to change their Martial Spirit by marriage this will only happen to the married person and their decendant, no changes will happen to your other clan members keeping them with hopes that one day their martial spirit able to mutate or evolve to the end of their life."
"in fact history mention a case of two clans intermarriage making a new evolved version of their martial spirit but this only ended up in the demise of the two clans and the rise of one completely new clans created by the mix of two clans."
Lin Tian said some realistic point that need to be mentioned to Bai He, in Douluo story the speed clan never rise as a new clan even though Bai Chenxiang ended up marrying Ma Hongjun. The only descendant known in the end is Ma Xiaotao at Douluo Dalu 2.
"Martial spirit will always have a certain core characteristics that will never changes no matter mutation or evolution that happen to it, for example the seven Treasured Glazed Tile Pagoda. record says that in the past the are some of its clan members have the chance encounter evolving their Martial spirit to 8 level Glazed Tile Pagoda or even 9 level Glazed Tile Pagoda, but in the end no descendant was ever born with the 8 or 9 level Glazed Pagoda till this day."
"This shows that having 7 level is the core characteristics of the 7 Treasured Glazed Tile Pagoda and cannot be changed, while your clan core characteristics is unability grow without having full Speed type Spirit ring."
Hearing this Bai He face become contorted, he was hoping through the knowledge of a Martial Spirit researcher that his clan might have some way to change their Martial Spirit completely. but after Lin Tian explaination he start to think that it is a really hopeless endeavor, even if he was able to somehow mutate or evolve one of the clansmen Martial Spirit their decendant will still born with Needle-Tailed swift Martial Spirit.
Finally Bai he remember something, "Then what about your proposal of solving our Clan's problem? do you have some solution to this?"
"Patriarch Bai, actually mutating a Martial spirit can be done to some degree by using outside influence. but to do this you will need some specific Immortal Grade herb that able to complement the Martial Spirit perfectly."
hearing this Bai He just shook his head while smilling wryly, his family heirloom is a ginseng Immortal Herb. of course he understand how precious it is, as for finding one that suited perfectly with their Martial Spirit will almost be impossible.
"Now I will explain my proposal to help your Clan's problem."
