Chapter 35 Tiger Locked Formation

After discussing further, Zhao Tong reluctantly agrees to purchase the Spiritual Master rank technique with 200,000 spirit stones and the promise to back him up.

"You will not use my little Bing Tong's name but I can guarantee you that I will help you out in one situation." Zhao Tong said.

"That's fine by me, an emperor's backing is definitely more threatening compared to a princess." Jiang Ming shrugged his shoulders.

Either way, it works to his benefit so he wasn't going to complain about which name he will use as a backer.

However, his tone was terrible and it caused Bing Tong to pout slightly.

"What do you mean to say, Jiang Ming? That my name is less threatening?" Bing Tong said.

It surprised her own father, Zhao Tong as he had never seen her lose her cool before.

Jiang Ming smiled bitterly at Bing Tong as he shook his head. "That wasn't my intention and you know that."

"It still doesn't give you the right to talk down to me like that when I have treated you courteously."

"Sigh, you are right so to earn your forgiveness, let me cure your illness right now." Jiang Ming suddenly said.

It was like a nuclear bomb had just dropped on Bing Tong and Zhao Tong as they were dumbstruck by the sudden words from Jiang Ming.

Zhao Tong was trembling in excitement, even more than Bing Tong as he glanced at Jiang Ming.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Zhao Tong stuttered, "Y-You can cure my daughter now?"

Jiang Ming nodded his head.

"That's awesome, quickly cure my daughter right away. What medicine do you require? Do you need some powerful herbs as well?" Zhao Tong said in a hurry.

"Father, you are embarrassing the imperial family." Bing Tong tucked on Zhao Tong's sleeve as she was a bit embarrassed by her father's action.

Zhao Tong calmed his emotion as he coughed slightly to regain his composure.

"I don't need any herbs or medicine to cure your daughter's illness. Just give us a private room and no matter what, you are not allowed to disturb us until I open the door." Jiang Ming said in a cold tone and held a solemn expression.

Zhao Tong was nervous for some reason as he nodded.

"There's a private room specifically for Bing Tong so I shall bring you there."

Sometime later, Zhao Tong brought Jiang Ming to a private room while ordering the servants and guards to leave the area.

Zhao Tong opened the room and revealed the interior for Jiang Ming to see.

There wasn't anything special except for the bed in the middle but Jiang Ming secretly used his Mystic Eye and was able to detect some interesting thing beneath the bed.

'This doting father is truly admirable,' Jiang Ming chuckled as he nodded his head.

"This room will do and remember my warning, no one, including you, is not allowed to enter at any given time." Jiang Ming said as he pointed at Zhao Tong.

If this were any other situation, Zhao Tong would have to thrash Jiang Ming but this was related to his daughter so he nodded his head solemnly.

Almost like a dog would do when its owner ordered it to stay put.

Jiang Ming then entered the room with Bing Tong and when Hong Ling wanted to enter as well to assist Jiang Ming, she was stopped.

"Can I not enter to help you?" Hong Ling asked as she offered to help.

She didn't want to be some useless person that has to rely on Jiang Ming. She wanted to help him out as well.

Alas, Jiang Ming shook his head as he raised his finger and pointed at Hong Ling.

Ding!

<Player Jiang Ming has transferred some knowledge to Hong Ling>

Hong Ling was in disbelief when her mind suddenly became overflowed with a bunch of information. It was information on becoming a cultivator and most importantly, there was a cultivation technique attached.

"T-This is-"

"It's the overdue cultivation technique that I promised to give you. I have been overwhelmed with so many things that I didn't have time to tell you."

Hong Ling nodded her head as she blushed slightly. "Thank you, Jiang Ming… for giving me a new chance in life."

Jiang Ming held a cheeky smile as he patted her head, "Silly, you're my maid so how can my maid be weak and powerless. Study the cultivation technique well for now as I cure Bing Tong."

"Un, I will not fail to meet your expectations."

Jiang Ming didn't say anything else as he closed the door and he decided to purchase a sealing formation item from the system for more security.

Ding!

<Player Jiang Ming has spent 300 spirit stones on Tiger Locked Formation>

<Activating Tiger Locked Formation…>

Ding!

<Tiger Locked Formation is now active in the room and can be deactivated at any time by Player Jiang Ming or if someone broke it.>

Jiang Ming smiled when he finished the security measurement for the room.

However, he couldn't help but feel a bit of pain for losing 300 spirit stones in a one-time use item like this.

'Sigh, earning spirit stones is so hard yet it's easily wasted,' Jiang Ming sighed inwardly as he was glad to be able to extort 200,000 spirit stones from Zhao Tong.

200,000 spirit stones may seem little considering the price tag for the item that Jiang Ming spent in the system. But in fact, it was no small amount at all and 200,000 spirit stones were a lot in the Northern Continent.

Jiang Ming was simply lucky and smart to utilize his method to maximize such a profit.

"Did you do something to the room? I suddenly felt the aura here has changed." Bing Tong's voice suddenly echoed, prompting Jiang Ming to return his focus.

"Yeah, I just added a formation so that we won't be distracted." Jiang Ming said as he continued.

"You can proceed to strip your clothing now."
