Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 223: Mei Gongzi & Milk Tea

Chapter 223: Mei Gongzi & Milk Tea

Mei Gongzi was now at the seventh order, and it should be relatively easy for Tang San to siphon some bloodline power from his future wife. After all, he would have plenty of opportunities to do so while accompanying Mei Gongzi on missions.

The Blue Silver Emperor could also be elevated to the seventh order without issue. As for the others, the Discerning Eye of Heaven only needed to reach the fifth order. It would take it too long to reach the sixth order, and he needed to enhance his overall strength now, so he could only pursue that later.

Gu Li’s Chrono Croc Transformation was close enough to reaching the sixth order, as was the Golden Roc Transformation. Once Gu Li and Cheng Zicheng broke through to the sixth order, Tang San could prepare to make his breakthrough as well.

Among his six Demonic God Transformations, the core was the Discerning Eye of Heaven, while the least important was the Leopard Flash. He planned to replace Leopard Flash with the Peacock Transformation, as the Peacock Demon clan had a far superior bloodline. As for the Wind Tiger Transformation, he would not replace it for now, as it served to conceal his identity.

Among the six Demonic God Transformations, three would reach a level where they could break through to the seventh order directly, two would be at the sixth order, and one at the fifth. At that point, he would be ready for an overall breakthrough to the seventh order.

After bidding farewell to Du Bai, Tang San visited Gu Li and Cheng Zicheng in succession. To his great surprise, Cheng Zicheng had already completed her breakthrough to the sixth order, and the power of her Golden Roc Transformation had greatly increased. Gu Li was also not far from reaching the sixth order. Thanks to the effect of the Purple Sun Fruit, his spiritual power had accelerated, allowing his understanding of the Chrono Croc Transformation to deepen significantly. When Du Bai broke into the fifth order, he would also have the opportunity to break through to the sixth order.

After visiting his senior brothers and sisters, Tang San returned to Kali Academy under the cover of night, entering the academy’s store to continue his cultivation as usual.

Two days later, when Tang San returned to the pool beside the Kali Mountain Range, his eyes immediately shone with surprise.

From afar, he could sense the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The gentle spiritual energy was omnipresent in the air, but it slowly converged in one direction.

Beside the pool, the Crimson Fox girls were meditating in a circle around it, and Zhang Haoxuan was also there sitting in meditation.

The Golden Wood inserted in the Spirit Summoning Array seemed unchanged at a glance, but when Tang San looked closer, he could see that a subtle aura of life energy emanated from it.

Thanks to the abilities of the Blue Silver Emperor, Tang San had the clearest perception of this. This aura was life force, and the fact that it radiated life force meant that these Golden Wood had actually taken root. His Spirit Summoning Array was quite effective.

Of course, this was possible thanks to being on the Daemon Continent, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was vibrant, especially within the Kali Mountain Range. The spiritual energy gathered by the Spirit Summoning Array naturally integrated with and sped up the growth of the Golden Wood. Even a few roots signified an early awakening for the Golden Wood, which showed that it would grow immensely in the future.

Zhang Haoxuan opened his eyes and looked at Tang San with a somewhat unusual gaze.

“Master,” Tang San quickly approached him, respectfully saluting.

“Amazing, truly amazing!” Zhang Haoxuan exclaimed.

Over the past two days, he had been observing the operation of the Spirit Summoning Array. The more he observed, the more he became fascinated by it. This array with several interlocking layers communicated with heaven and earth on its own, drawing in the spiritual energy and focusing it onto the Golden Wood.

Within a few days, the rate of spiritual energy convergence had increased significantly, and he could also feel some changes in the Golden Wood.

As the focal point of the array, the evolution of the Golden Wood would enhance the effect of the Spirit Summoning Array, which in turn would “fertilize” the wood and allow it to grow faster. This was simply marvelous.

Tang San handed over the array diagram to Zhang Haoxuan.

“Honestly, I’m not even sure if I should accept this diagram from you. It would be hard for the organization to find something worthy to exchange for it,” Zhang Haoxuan said with a wry smile.

Tang San smiled. “I didn’t intend to ask for anything in return.”

Zhang Haoxuan shook his head, “That won’t do. This array is too precious. I can assure you that even the Ancestral Court might not have such an exquisite array. What do you want in exchange?”

“If I have to choose something, I would like high-order Celestial Fox blood for senior brother Du Bai. Given his bloodline strength, the sixth order might be his limit. To advance further, he would need higher bloodline purity.”

“For Du Bai? But what about you…”

Tang San smiled. “Heh, whether Du Bai gets it or I do, what’s the difference?”

Zhang Haoxuan shook his head with a bitter smile. “The blood of the Celestial Fox is probably the most precious among all demons. It’s almost impossible to obtain. The Celestial Foxes are very few in numbers, and they value their bloodline far more than you can imagine.”

“No rush. After all, Du Bai will take some time to reach the sixth order. Just mention it to the organization for now. If there’s a chance, give it a try.”

Zhang Haoxuan responded, “Okay, I’ll try it later. Explain the array to me. I’ll stay here with the diagram for the time being and try to learn the Spirit Summoning Array. Meanwhile, I’ll also watch the Golden Wood for you. These little girls are very obedient, they’re doing nothing but meditating except for eating and sleeping. I hope this Golden Wood can really help them evolve and become a support for you in the future.”

“Hmm…” Tang San thought that if he managed to train them, the only way to deal with them would be to send them to Mei Gongzi. Otherwise, if she saw that he had so many girls around him, and they were from the fox clan, he could declare his pursuit of a wife a failure.

Cultivation and sweeping, once again, became Tang San’s daily routine. After careful consideration, he also consumed the second Purple Sun Fruit. The effect was not as good as the first one, but it also brought his spiritual power closer to perfection.

The greater his spiritual power, the better the nourishment for his divine consciousness. This was what he needed the most.

In a blink of an eye, another two weeks passed.

That evening, after finishing his day’s cleaning tasks, Tang San was preparing to report back to Old Mao when he saw Mei Gongzi coming out of the main school building.

He had been seeing her regularly recently, every two or three days, but Mei Gongzi had not spoken to him or sought him out again, treating him as if he were a stranger.

Tang San wasn’t uncomfortable with this; he understood that Mei Gongzi didn’t want to get too close to him to avoid causing him trouble. She wanted him to be able to grow without being noticed.

Yet, when he saw Mei Gongzi today, he noticed she was holding a cup of milk tea.

Is it finally time?

Tang San silently returned to the school workers’ cottage, greeted Old Mao, and left his broom.

Mei Gongzi, holding the milk tea, walked out of the Kali Academy gate and stood on one side, silently drinking her tea, her gaze randomly scanning the surroundings.

It had been nearly twenty days since the last incident. The Titan Bear she had killed was the eldest son of the Titan Bear King. Naturally, after learning of this, the Titan Bear King had flown into a rage, causing a commotion in Kali City for several days, searching everywhere for the murderer.

The wounds on his son’s body showed claw marks… tiger claw marks. Given the Titan Bear’s defensive strength, there were naturally not many kinds of tiger demons capable of breaching the Titan Bear’s hide, much less its energy shield.

Additionally, there were wounds on its back clearly caused by some kind of arrows or bolts, and upon analysis, it was also clear that the Titan Bear had been poisoned. In other words, it was an ambush.

The murder of the Titan Bear King’s son in his own home greatly enraged and shocked the nobility of Kali City. For the past twenty days, there had been a thorough manhunt within the city. The tiger demon nobles, in particular, were put in a very precarious position.

The tiger demons did not have a strong branch in Kali City, but they were one of the top-tier races among all demon races. After all, the tiger had always been known as the king of beasts. This incident even alarmed the main lineage of the tiger demons, the Golden Tiger Clan, whose leader ordered a thorough investigation in another central city.

The result of the thorough investigation, naturally, yielded no results.

If Tang San had been aware of this information—obviously not publicized since it pertained to high-rank demon nobility, he could have easily deduced that the other one of Mei Gongzi’s Demonic God Transformations came from a tiger demon bloodline.
