While Ling Yi was still acclimating to the environment, classmates, and teachers at the [Green Leaf Junior Soul Master Academy], various mansions within the inner city of [Wood Plant City] experienced a conversation, either early or late.

Attendant: "Lord, there's a piece of news that has been marked today~"

"Hm? What's the content, and why is it marked specifically? Is it about someone's Martial Soul awakening with a mutation?" the Lord asked with interest.

The attendant lowered his head: "Not quite, Lord. It's about the [Green Leaf Junior Soul Master Academy] in the eastern part of the city. A new student's enrollment registration has been marked~"

"Innate Full Soul Power?" The Lord's eyes gleamed with curiosity.

The attendant hesitated: "Uh… no~"

The Lord frowned and asked again: "Is it a high-quality Martial Soul mutation?"

"Also… not…" The attendant's forehead was slightly sweating.

The Lord, hearing this, was somewhat displeased: "Then why was it marked?"

"…" The attendant held a document with a marked corner, raised it over his head, and handed it to the Lord. He bit his lip, mustered his courage, and said in a low voice: "Because his soul power improvement speed is significantly faster than normal—"

Hearing this, the Lord's expression improved slightly. He casually took the document and quickly scanned through it.

As he read, his brow furrowed again.

He quickly finished reading the content and put down the document, looking at the attendant with a blank expression. His voice was flat: "Just a 'Blue Silver Grass' Martial Soul. Because there's a lot of 'Blue Silver Grass' in his living environment, he accidentally achieved a 'Mimetic Training Environment' effect. Is it really worth so much attention?"

"Did you not see what the boy said? Has the Steward of the [Martial Soul Hall] verified it?"

"After three days, I assume you went to verify it. What were the results?"

The Lord asked three questions in quick succession, his gaze sharp as he looked at the attendant.

The attendant swallowed quietly and lowered his voice, responding hesitantly: "Lord, it has been verified. There is indeed a lot of 'Blue Silver Grass' in the boy's home and village. If a 'Blue Silver Grass' Martial Soul soul master trains in such an environment, they should progress faster…"

"Because we haven't found a suitable 'Blue Silver Grass' Martial Soul soul master yet, we can't verify the exact acceleration rate. But my subordinates have already started looking around the capital…"

"Wait a moment~" The Lord raised his hand to interrupt the attendant and asked: "Are you also planning to plant 'Blue Silver Grass' somewhere and have the 'Blue Silver Grass' Martial Soul soul masters train there to verify?"

"Uh—" The attendant was speechless.

Seeing this, the Lord shook his head and directly ordered: "Let's drop this matter~"

"Lord?" The attendant was puzzled: "If it really can accelerate the training speed of 'Blue Silver Grass' Martial Soul soul masters, then Lord can specifically cultivate a batch of them to at least obtain the First Soul Ring and become soul masters…"

"First Soul Ring? 'Blue Silver Grass'?" The Lord sneered: "What? Are you afraid of Blue Silver Entanglement?"

"Indeed, this can cultivate some soul masters, but the cost is not worth it!"

The Lord spoke with a knowing smile on his face.

He had also considered it like the attendant, but from his position, he naturally knew how low the probability was for a 'Blue Silver Grass' Martial Soul to be born with innate soul power!

If they really invested the manpower, material resources, and financial resources to create a 'Blue Silver Grass Mimetic Training Environment' and search for 'Blue Silver Grass' Martial Soul owners with soul power potential, how many years would it take to achieve the desired results?

In the current Douluo Continent, only top-tier forces like the [Martial Soul Hall] and the two major empires had the time and foundation to wait for the fruits to mature.

...

Ling Yi was unaware of the above conversation, but he had also considered the situation in his mind.

Summarizing his current situation and comparing it with the conditions of the noble lords in the Duchy, it was like comparing a Fortune 500 company with a street pancake stall.

Secretary: "Chairman, the pancake stall at the street corner is said to have excellent sauce and is doing very well!"

Chairman: "Hmm."

Secretary: "Chairman, should we not acquire the sauce recipe?"

Chairman: "Why the rush? There are so many recipes in the world, should we acquire them all? Besides, how much should we pay for the patent? If we offer too little, they won't agree, and if we offer too much, I'd be foolish."

Secretary: "Then—?"

Chairman: "Then what? That's it. What's the worry? Are you afraid the pancake stall will go public and the prices will rise?"

"If he really has potential, we can wait until he develops to a certain extent, then invest and absorb him into the group~"

...

[Wood Plant City], South City, Anfang Street, Jingeng Blacksmith Shop.

On the bustling street, Ling Yi looked up at the large signboard and then focused his gaze on the expansive storefront.

Taking out the letter Master Jiang had given him from his chest, he held it in his hand, ensuring it wouldn't be overlooked easily. Ling Yi stepped into the door of the Jingeng Blacksmith Shop.

If this were one of those showboating and face-slapping novels, Ling Yi might have hidden the letter, dressed in ragged clothes under the guise of being casual, and walked in, immediately looking for someone, only to be treated with disdain and neglect by the shop assistants, leading to a verbal conflict, the appearance of a manager, a verbal duel, and finally revealing the letter...

Fortunately, Ling Yi wasn't the type to follow such a plot. He was the steady type.

He directly took out the letter and placed it in the most conspicuous spot. He, Ling Yi, was just a child delivering a letter for a blacksmith master who had left his master's door many years ago.

After all, Master Jiang had been away for many years, and he hadn't mentioned how his relationships were during his apprenticeship. Ling Yi was in the dark.

Moreover, the recipient was nearly fifty and still a mid-level blacksmith, suggesting his forging talent was average. If one of the 'Three Great Blacksmith Masters,' Old Master Jingang, didn't remember such a dull disciple, it would be awkward~

"Little boy, who are you looking for?"

As soon as Ling Yi stepped into the blacksmith shop, a young man in a sleeveless vest immediately asked.

The young man's tone was friendly, and he had a smile on his face.

Noticing the young man's gaze on the letter in his hand and the [Green Leaf Junior Soul Master Academy] school uniform he was wearing, Ling Yi remained calm, with a sweet smile on his face:

"Hello, Uncle. I come from Beikouhe Town. I'm here to deliver a letter from the town's blacksmith, Master Jiang, to an Old Master Jin~"

In one sentence, the information was clear and straightforward. Coupled with the clean white school uniform with green patterns and Ling Yi's likable face, the young man immediately stepped forward, came to Ling Yi, leaned down slightly, and smiled:

"Oh? Master Jiang from Beikouhe Town? Could you tell me Master Jiang's full name? And, little boy, what's your name?"

Hearing this, Ling Yi first pulled the letter back a bit, his face showing a thoughtful expression. After a moment, he politely responded: "Master Jiang's name is Jiang Kai, and I'm Ling Yi… Uncle, can I see Old Master Jin and give him the letter?"

"Jiang Kai?" The young man, seeing Ling Yi's response, still smiled. He recalled for a moment and, after confirming he hadn't heard the name, said to Ling Yi: "I'm sorry, little boy, I haven't heard of this name…"

Ling Yi's eyes, clear and distinct, widened: "Then…"

"Don't worry~" The young man waved his hand and pointed to a corner of the blacksmith shop: "Go sit over there for a moment. I'll ask my senior brother; he's been with our master for over twenty years and should know the Master Jiang you mentioned…"

Saying this, he led Ling Yi to a resting area for customers.

After Ling Yi sat down, he poured him a cup of cool tea and, after greeting the other young men and boys in the shop, smiled at Ling Yi again and turned to walk toward the courtyard behind the shop.
