Chapter 137: Chapter 136 Completed Procurement

"Sister Yu, I really have a use for these. Both the Black Crow Stone and Sharp Crystal Gold are extremely hard, and each has its own characteristics. Although the Sharp Crystal Gold doesn't possess element properties, it does repel all elements. I was thinking of using it as a weapon, which could more easily break through various elemental defenses. Take for example the Winged Tiger we encountered. The Winged Tiger has Wind Protective Energy, and my wind blade was utterly useless against it. I want to forge a weapon that can be enhanced by adding my wind blade to it, increasing the attack power. The Black Crow Stone serves a similar purpose, and since it's cheaper, I bought more of it. Sharp Crystal Gold is too expensive, so I'll just buy a little to try out for now," Tang San explained."Forging a weapon?" Mu Yunyu was taken aback, as it was her first time hearing about weapons being made from Sharp Crystal Gold. The stuff was incredibly expensive. The small piece Tang San bought, only the size of a baby's fist, was worth an entire Elemental Coin. She felt it was a pity to spend so much money on it.

Black Crow Stone, on the other hand, wasn't worth much. It lacked the property to repel elements and didn't have many advantages other than being hard. Tang San had bought a whole cubic meter of it. If it weren't for the fact that Jiali City didn't produce Black Crow Stone, it would hardly be worth anything.

"Do whatever you want. You have the money, so how you spend it is up to you," Mu Yunyu said dispiritedly.

"Thank you, Sister Yu."

All together, the items he wanted cost two Elemental Coins and thirty-five Spirit Rhinoceros Coins.

The most expensive were the Dragon Tendon Fruit and Sharp Crystal Gold. The Green Jade Vine and Black Crow Stone didn't cost much.

Tang San was quite satisfied after getting the items he wanted. He didn't need any special storage for them; he just took them directly back to his room.

"Xiao Tang, help me decide what to buy. Should I also get a Dragon Tendon Fruit? There's still one left," Du Bai called Tang San over.

Tang San walked over and said, "You don't need the Dragon Tendon Fruit, but I'd recommend Sister Chengzi consider buying it."

"It's too expensive, I can't bear to part with that much money," Cheng Zicheng said in a miserly manner.

Tang San replied with a smile, "You can't catch a wolf without putting the child at risk. Sister, isn't the biggest problem with your Golden Wing Cloak Slash that your body's resilience isn't strong enough, the rebound affects subsequent connections, and you also risk injuring yourself? Look at the Dragon Tendon Fruit's description—the greatest benefit is in strengthening muscles and bones. I think if you use one, not only will it stabilize your Fifth Stage physical quality, but it will also enhance your body's toughness, making the Golden Wing Cloak Slash much easier to perform. It's worth a try."

"Really?" Cheng Zicheng looked at the dark purple, oblong fruit, still hesitant.

"I also think it's a good idea," Wu Bingji walked over, having already picked out his items, all of which were ice attribute. He was in the early stages of the Sixth Stage, and his priority was to improve his cultivation base, so he chose items that would enhance his understanding of the ice element and increase the richness of his ice energy. He didn't buy much, as the Elemental Coins themselves were also excellent for cultivation. He had never tried using them for cultivation before due to his lack of money, but this time he decided to give it a try.

"Alright, I'll buy one. It's so expensive," Cheng Zicheng stuck out her tongue playfully and decided to go for the last Dragon Tendon Fruit.

"What about me? What should I buy?" Du Bai asked Tang San for advice.

Tang San replied with a smile, "What's best for both you and Senior Brother Gu Li are spirit-boosting elixirs. Focusing on that aspect would be good. You both have just broken through. Your Spiritual Power is growing rapidly. By taking advantage of this opportunity and using more spirit-enhancing elixirs, you can quickly stabilize your state and accelerate your cultivation progress."

The spiritual medicines used to enhance Spiritual Power were also few in the stall, with just two or three kinds. Du Bai discussed with Gu Li and they decided to split them evenly, directly taking a pot with them. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, the price of these spiritual medicines was extremely high, costing the two a total of six Elemental Coins, each paying three coins. They were so reluctant to spend any more that they refused to buy anything else.

The reason Tang San did not suggest that Du Bai work on his physical strength right now was mainly because his innate physical quality was far too poor. Even if there was some improvement later on, reaching the same level of toughness as others was virtually impossible. It would be better to concentrate on enhancing his Spiritual Power. After all, that was the true purpose of the Heavenly Fox Transformation. Only by raising his Spiritual Power to a sufficiently powerful level could there be a possibility for the Heavenly Fox Transformation to advance further.

After completing their purchases, the five people together had spent over ten Elemental Coins. Mu Yunyu was all smiles too.

"Remember to use the medicines promptly when you get back. Don't waste their effectiveness. Welcome to visit us again," Mu Yunyu, in a very good mood, personally escorted them out of the stall.

After Tang San and the others left, a figure turned out from behind the stall, it was Guan Longjiang.

Mu Yunyu didn't even turn her head as she said, "Aren't you going to cut these kids a break? Shouldn't we be supporting them more?"

Guan Longjiang smiled faintly and said, "This is about sharing the wealth equally. Their gains this time were too great, and they're not short on money. What we make from them naturally needs to be used to subsidize the other children. After all, they earn money so quickly. Keep a close eye on them here at home, and tomorrow I will join your brother in secretly guarding the second group of kids on their expedition. Expect us to be away for a week to ten days. Let's hope they also have decent gains. I want to see for myself if the effects of real combat experience in the wild are really that beneficial."

Mu Yunyu said, "Five of them went out and four advanced in rank. They even brought back so much Demon Beast meat. That proves everything. There's no one to blame. That little guy Tang San really has some tricks up his sleeve. I heard from Sister Chengzi that for this mission, the overall command wasn't Wu Bingji, but Tang San. Despite Wu Bingji being the senior brother, now it seems there's a bit of a flavor of them looking solely to Tang San for leadership."

Guan Longjiang nodded his head, "That kid seems to have a special charisma, a natural talent for leadership. Let's hope he continues to grow in this manner. Your brother is actually the one feeling quite down. He's been teaching real combat for so long and yet Du Bai and Gu Li hadn't made a breakthrough. But after going out with Tang San, they did. Just yesterday, your brother told me that for this second batch who are going out, unless they are really at risk of dying, we will not intervene. Let them truly taste what it's like to hover on the edge of life and death. He's being pretty ruthless this time."

Mu Yunyu helplessly said, "Guess I'll have to feel sorry for the second batch of kids for a few minutes then. But don't go too far, safety first."

"Hmm, don't worry. Not every time will they encounter a situation like the King of Winged Tigers."

All five of Tang San's group returned to their rooms, each having bought valuable items, so naturally, they wanted to start using them right away.

Tang San directly put the Sharp Crystal Gold into his storage bag, and did the same with the Black Crow Stone. He did not take these two metals out to look at them, but the corners of his mouth curled upwards all the same.

Although he had spent over two Elemental Coins today, Tang San knew it was well worth it. The Dragon Tendon Fruit was a solid choice for him to use right now, perfect for tempering his meridians and his body. It would help improve his overall physical quality to withstand the Sixth Stage of cultivation. It would also accelerate his bodily growth. Combined with Demon Beast meat and blood, Tang San believed his frailty would soon become a thing of the past.

He was sincere in what he told Mu Yunyu that day; he truly needed to let his body continue growing before attempting to break through to the next state. After all, he was only nine years old, and his small body couldn't cope with the internal energy—that was a major problem.

Even though he was a Godking in his previous life, under normal circumstances practicing Mysterious Heaven Method, reaching beyond the third layer at his current age would be considered quite an achievement. The most important reason he had been able to rapidly reach the Sixth Stage now was due to Devouring. The powerful Devouring strength allowed him to accelerate his advancement. However, his body's growth could not keep up with the speed of his cultivation base's improvement.
