Tang San's mouth twitched slightly; he indeed hadn't felt anyone tracking him, and Pretty Girl clearly meant no harm to him, which was why the Spirit Rhinoceros Heavenly Eye did not give a warning. So, he had been tracked all the way back home..."You're here too?" Tang San asked.
"Mm," Pretty Girl nodded.
"The eighteen Red Fox Tribe vassal girls, was it you who bid for them, or someone else?" Pretty Girl said indifferently.
Without hesitation, Tang San sold out his teacher, "It was the mayor who bid for them. Saving one is saving one, right?"
"I didn't expect you to defeat an Eighth Stage giant Demon Scorpion. That's beyond my expectations," Pretty Girl slowly walked up to Tang San, she was older than Tang San and girls develop earlier, so she was taller than the undisguised Tang San now, looking somewhat down at him.
"Mm." Being recognized and offering denials would be pointless.
"You're eleven?" Pretty Girl asked again.
"About that," Tang San nodded.
"You're qualified to be my attendant. From now on at the academy, be ready for my commands at any time. Understand? I'm Blue Level, and my commands are the organization's top priority in Jiali City."
"Okay, Pretty Sister," Tang San agreed almost without any hesitation. Being her attendant meant even more chances to get close to her. How satisfying! Before going to the auction today, he had used Heavenly Fox Eye to increase his luck; it seemed his luck was through the roof, had the ability of the Heavenly Fox Eye evolved?
"Mm, that's it." Pretty Girl glanced at him one more time, her figure flashed, and she disappeared without a trace.
The air still carried her faint, pleasant fragrance; Tang San's lips curved upward, truly a beautiful day!
Upon returning to the Redemption Academy, he went straight to his room and locked the door.
He needed to take stock of his gains this time.
Let's not talk about the eighteen Red Fox Tribe human vassal girls just yet. Saving them is a human's responsibility. Also, these eighteen girls all possess Red Fox lineage, although not strong; however, the clone ability from the Red Fox Tribe Fairy Yuan Yinxin shows that the Red Fox Tribe's innate abilities are quite remarkable. If their bloodline can be advanced in the future, they will gain a foothold in the Redemption Organization.
Of course, what really delighted Tang San were the other three auction items. The Purple Sun Fruit goes without saying; it's crucial for the entire team's growth.
He could have advanced to the Seventh Stage long ago and even now had Seventh Stage-level strength, but he had been delaying a full breakthrough, hoping that his other abilities could break through simultaneously.
Currently, it seemed unrealistic for the Spirit Rhinoceros Heavenly Eye to reach Sixth-stage Peak, it was too difficult. However, the Time Variation Seal and Golden Peng Transformation might have a chance, as long as Cheng Zicheng and Gu Li advanced their Cultivation base to the Sixth Stage.
The Bluesilver Emperor and Wind Tiger Transformation naturally faced no issues, still at Sixth-stage Peak. As for Flash Leopard Transformation, advancing to the Sixth Stage wasn't difficult. With his current Cultivation base, seeking out a Sixth Stage Flash Leopard to enhance his own bloodline was manageable.
The biggest problem still came from the Heavenly Fox Eye. His body had nourished nearly enough; in at most three months, he would definitely have a physique strong enough for a breakthrough to the Seventh Stage. A breakthrough now wouldn't be a problem, but he had to wait for Cheng Zicheng and Gu Li, there was no rush for the moment.
The Spirit Rhinoceros Eye was a tricky one; even if I fed Du Bai more Purple Sun Fruits, it would be a good outcome if he could advance by one stage. Advancing by two stages was nearly impossible. No matter how exceptional the Purple Sun Fruits were and how much they could boost Spiritual Power, the diluted bloodline of the Heavenly Fox Clan was still the biggest issue.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but recall the recent blood auctions. If the blood of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox were to be auctioned...
Of course, that was just a fantasy. The Heavenly Fox Clan had never left their Ancestral Court and was the most important existence in the entire Tianyu Empire, protected by all the great demon emperors. They were formidable in their own right, being at the Demon Emperor Level. Not to mention taking action against them; any powerful entity that even harbored thoughts of threatening them would likely be discovered, and perhaps even targeted by this entity.
The most difficult was still the Heavenly Fox Transformation! But the more I used the Heavenly Fox Eye, the more I understood how important it was.
It's said that luck is also a part of strength. When luck can be controlled, what a wonderful thing that is. At least it could double my own strength. Yes, a full double.
Never mind, once all the other Demon God Transformations are raised to the Sixth Stage, I'll make the breakthrough. Reaching the Seventh Stage would bring a qualitative change to my cultivation base. The mutual enhancement from all the Demon God Transformations aiming for the Seventh Stage would become much more significant. By then, I would truly have the strength to contend with Ninth Stage experts and finally possess the ability to protect myself.
Tang San took out the Earth Shattering Hammer and the Golden Wood as well.
The Earth Shattering Hammer was hot to the touch but not scalding. It radiated a faint dark red hue and was engraved with magic array runes that seemed very lax in Tang San's eyes. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
He weighed it in his hand; this Earth Shattering Hammer was about thirty kilograms. This is real Heavenly Fire Fine Iron!
Thirty kilograms of Heavenly Fire Fine Iron, placed in the Divine Realm he once belonged to, was a tremendous fortune. Moreover, this was something that could genuinely be used to forge divine tools.
Gazing at the Heavenly Fire Fine Iron, Tang San couldn't help sighing, "Fortunately, you fell into my hands, otherwise you'd just gather dust. However, with my current power, I can only refine you simply for now. It's not until I reach a higher cultivation base and break through to the God Rank that I can truly reforge you to reach an artifact's level."
Thirty kilograms of Heavenly Fire Fine Iron, if refined well, would definitely be at the artifact level. But Heavenly Fire Fine Iron was too difficult to forge; he didn't have the power to recreate it right now.
The Heavenly Fire Fine Iron was extremely hard; to forge it, relying on hammering alone wouldn't work, and there was no flame that could melt it. To refine it, one could only use another method: heart forging. Only by tempering with divine consciousness was it possible to reforge it.
Although Tang San had divine consciousness now, it was too precious to use for forging it.
But not being able to forge it didn't mean improvements couldn't be made. Based on its existing properties, enhancing its magic array to give it additional characteristics was still possible.
To Tang San, the Earth Shattering Hammer wasn't just a weapon; it could also serve as a forging hammer. There was nothing more suitable for a forging hammer than Heavenly Fire Fine Iron, even though it somewhat was a wasteful use. Any metal would melt before it, regardless of who it was! Unless it was a divine tool enhanced by divine consciousness, any metal would soften under the sear of Heavenly Fire Fine Iron.
And the method to activate the Heavenly Fire wasn't difficult, but Tang San could guess that the Monster Race had clearly never succeeded in activating it.
To stimulate the high temperature within Heavenly Fire Fine Iron, it needed Spiritual Baptism—washing the Heavenly Fire Fine Iron with Spiritual Power to draw it out from within.
This stimulation wasn't about igniting it; it was a process where the inherent energy in the Heavenly Fire Fine Iron underwent a quality change due to being agitated. This change was reversible; when there wasn't enough Spiritual Power to sustain it, the Heavenly Fire Fine Iron was like missing a catalyst, revealing only its surface properties. But once the stimulating Spiritual Power was strong enough, the high temperature it unleashed would be terrifying.
Undoubtedly, this was more than just a weapon for Tang San; it was also a truly ideal forging hammer. With it, given the right location, he wouldn't need a forge. Any metal would bow before Heavenly Fire Fine Iron. And all Tang San needed to do was control the temperature of the Earth Shattering Hammer by adjusting the output of his Spiritual Power.
And once his Spiritual Power advanced to divine consciousness in the future, allowing him to heart-forge it, the Earth Shattering Hammer would undergo a transformation, becoming a genuine divine tool. Tang San had never seen such a large chunk of Heavenly Fire Fine Iron in his previous life. The windfall couldn't be overstated. He also suspected that auctions on Demon Monster Land might often offer such windfalls, as many treasures were unrecognized by the races of the Demon Monster Land.
