  In terms of efficacy, it was absolutely on the level of immortal treasures, even to the extent that it could compare to the Yearning Heartbroken Red Xiao Wu ate!

  Just when Tang San stood on the roof, he didn’t know how long, but he suddenly felt a squirming at his waist. When he lowered his head to look, an adorable little nose was poking out from the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, and moreover constantly shrugging. As it moved, it also revealed its whole head, a pair of red little eyes blinking and looking at the jade case in Tang San’s hands, its long neck stretching, gradually pulling out the rest of its body.

  Tang San was shocked to see Xiao Wu show her head, this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng’s scent really was potent, actually able to make even Xiao Wu show herself from her sleep in the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse. Moreover, looking at her drooling with desire, it seemed she was quite interested in this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

  In fact, there were a lot of medicinal herbs deposited in Tang San’s Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, but Xiao Wu had never shown any interest. In order to keep her from eating something by mistake, Tang San had always followed her with a trace of his spiritual force when he put her inside the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse. If she wanted to eat, Tang San could react swiftly. But ever since Xiao Wu had turned into a rabbit, something like this had never happened.

  But Xiao Wu had changed before his eyes, naked thirst in her little eyes. This was the first time Tang San had seen rabbit form Xiao Wu show such a mood.

  Could she eat it? Tang San absolutely wasn’t reluctant to part with the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, he would definitely repay the Speed Clan what he owed Bai He. But could Xiao Wu’s rabbit body withstand the medicinal efficacy of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng? In fact, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng was always known for its potency.

  Just when Tang San was hesitating, suddenly, Xiao Wu fiercely exerted herself in the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, unexpectedly leaping up with surprising speed.

  his was the first time Tang San saw this always fond of sleeping rabbit move with such speed. Once he reacted, Xiao Wu had already taken a large bite out of that Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

  Actually, having eaten the Yearning Heartbroken Red, this rabbit’s body was an unknown number of times more powerful than a normal rabbit, let alone when Xiao Wu had originally cultivated for a hundred thousand years! How could her physical body be matched by ordinary rabbits?

  “Xiao Wu.”

  Tang San was anxious, hastily wanting to stop her. But at this moment he sensed a warmth on his body, his spirit unexpectedly revealing itself uncontrollably, his six spirit rings appearing simultaneously, the blood red spirit ring condensed by Xiao Wu releasing in a flash. That figure that had captivated Tang San yesterday appeared before him again.

  The difference was that the illusion of Xiao Wu’s soul appeared forcefully, without any threat to Tang San, but rather because of that aura.

  Tang San raised his head to look at Xiao Wu. He discovered that Xiao Wu’s eyes were unexpectedly filled with pleasant surprise.

  “Xiao Wu, can your body withstand the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng?”

  Tang San asked anxiously. Right now, Xiao Wu’s body was just swallowing the juices of that Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng with big mouthfuls.

  The illusory Xiao Wu watched Tang San, pleasant surprise filling her eyes, nodding to Tang San without hesitation. Just this one simple motion immediately made her body somewhat more illusory.

  Even though Xiao Wu’s soul was infused within this spirit ring, if she used her own soul to forcefully summon this illusion without the prompting of a spirit ability, it would greatly consume the power of her soul.

  Sensing her soul dissipating, Xiao Wu hurriedly returned, her silhouette flashing, once again disappearing into Tang San’s spirit ring.

  Tang San looked dumbstruck at the already having forcefully seized the position of his lower right arm, but sticking against him, head stretched into the jade case to unreservedly eat the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, Xiao Wu.

  With the confirmation of Xiao Wu’s soul, he was already a lot more relieved. It may be assumed that with the transformation of the Yearning Heartbroken Red as well as a hundred thousand years of cultivation, the ability of Xiao Wu’s body to endure wouldn’t be lacking. Seeing her expression just now, this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng should be greatly beneficial to her. Thus, there was even greater hope for Xiao Wu’s resurrection.

  Thinking of this, Tang San immediately grew excited. He of course couldn’t keep lingering here, hastily leaping off the roof with steady balance, he returned to his room to watch Xiao Wu gorge herself.

  Even though this Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng didn’t seem small, there was a large amount of juice inside, but with Xiao Wu’s vigorous sucking, after a moment’s work all that remained was a dried up husk. But Xiao Wu didn’t even let that off, eating even the shriveled ginseng husk.

  Throughout the process, Tang San could already see changes in Xiao Wu. The gold in her fur spread with speed visible to the naked eye, and in a while, Xiao Wu had changed into a sparkling golden rabbit.

  What Tang San found even more strange was that, as Xiao Wu ate that Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, her body began to distribute a faint fragrance. Not the fragrance of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, but rather a kind of fragrance that made people feel intoxicated.

  The changes still didn’t stop there, after Xiao Wu’s fur had completely turned gold, the roots began to change again. By now she had already finished that Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, and crawled into Tang San’s arms, closing her little eyes and falling asleep. Her fur also gradually changed from the gold just now into red.

  What Tang San didn’t know was that the two immortal treasures, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and the Yearning Heartbroken Red, had a complementary effect. That Xiao Wu originally didn’t eat the Yearning Heartbroken Red was partly because she liked the flower, and partly also because she didn’t have a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng to go with it. This point even the Tang Sect had no accounts of.

  Under the effect of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, the medicinal power stored in Xiao Wu’s body from the Yearning Heartbroken Red had already been completely absorbed, this was the process of her fur turning gold, and the current change to red was due to absorbing the effects of the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.

  Xiao Wu’s body was warm, and Tang San might as well place her on his bed, crouching in front of it to focus on watching her body change. As long as there was anything amiss, he would immediately think of a way to save her.

  Before long, Xiao Wu’s body had turned completely blood red, curled up there she seemed like a sparkling ruby. Her entire body was crystal red, quite similar to the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng in the jade case before.

  Xiao Wu’s body hadn’t grown any larger from the medicinal effect, but Tang San quietly felt that refined fragrance grow a bit stronger. Looking at her quietly, Tang San’s nervousness surpassed his battle with Bai He yesterday. Xiao Wu could be said to be his most important treasure, and if anything happened to her, Tang San might collapse on the spot.

  Bizarrely, after Xiao Wu’s body had turned completely red, it began to show a new change. This time the changes were even stranger. Still starting from the roots of the fur, that red color started to change again, turning creamy white like an ordinary rabbit. Just even more supple, even more lustrous.

  How come it changed and changed and changed back again? Tang San looked at this scene without understanding, everything he saw now already exceeded his knowledge of spirits. He knew that even if his teacher was here, he still might not be able to tell why.

  Right now he could only constantly tell himself to accept Xiao Wu’s own choice. Her choice definitely wouldn’t be wrong.

  It had already been an hour since Xiao Wu ate the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng until she had turned white. Her whole body was white like pure and untainted snow, quietly lying there. And now Tang Sa
n also sensed the fluctuating energies at a certain distance from Xiao Wu start to calm, radiating from her whole body, but no longer transforming it like before.

  Xiao Wu’s body alone was covered in a layer of white frost, stuck to her fur and wrapping her entire body.

  Just at this moment, there was suddenly the sound of footsteps outside,

  “Third brother, the Breaking Clan has arrived. Elder Tai Tan asked me to get you.”

  Tang San clapped his forehead. He head even forgotten his proper business over Xiao Wu’s changes. He immediately stood, Xiao Wu was stabilized now, and he placed her in the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, then pushed open the door and stepped outside.

  Ma Hongjun waited in the doorway. On seeing Tang San, he couldn’t help saying:

  “Third brother, that Breaking Clan might not be easy to deal with! That clan chief seems quite troublesome, even when speaking he doesn’t say much, as if someone owes him money.”

  Tang San smiled slightly, saying:

  “Don’t say that, we’ll go take a look first. We’ll always think of a way.”

  The two brothers very soon reached the drawing room. Sure enough there was already one more old man inside, and behind him stood two youths, apparently around the same age as Tang San, Bai Chenxiang and the others. As soon as he entered, Tang San noticed that the gazes of these two youths would float over towards Bai Chenxiang from time to time, clearly they were a bit interested in this beautiful young woman.

  Tang San’s attention didn’t linger on them, immediately staying on that old man. That elder was slim, built somewhat similar to Bai He, but one head taller than him. His hair also wasn’t as snow white as Bei He’s, but rather pitch black. His complexion was rosy, but his expression somewhat gloomy, cold eyes giving the feeling of a vulture. Bai He now sat next to him, speaking to him in a low voice. Clearly, this was the Breaking Clan’s chief, Yang Wudi.

  Tang San and Ma Hongjun entered, and immediately became the focus of every gaze in the room.

  Tai Tan stood up, smiling and walking over in front of Tang San, pulling his shoulder to face Yang Wudi,

  “Come, old goat, I’ll introduce you to my young friend.”

  Yang Wudi stared, indifferently saying:

  “Old orangutan. Since when did you have such young friends?”

  Tai Tang wasn’t offended by Yang Wudi’s cold tone, he was already accustomed to this old fellow’s manners,

  “Age doesn’t equal ambition. My young friend here isn’t some ordinary person. Old goat, you absolutely can’t underestimate him.”

  Yang Wudi frowned, and said:

  “Old orangutan, this is the gathering of our four clans, I don’t want to see outsiders here. I still have some things to discuss with you.”

  Tai Tan frowned, Yang Wudi’s mood didn’t seem too good today. Even if he was usually always moody, he still wouldn’t refuse to give him face like this.

  “Old goat, don’t be so old fashioned. If he’s brought by old orangutan, he definitely isn’t some outsider.”

  Niu Gao couldn’t help speaking up.

  Yang Wudi glanced at Niu Gao,

  “You’re the host, if you don’t mind, why should I care? Then let him stay.”

  Tai Tan felt somewhat dull having his words choked back by Yang Wudi, and pulled Tang San to sit next to him. Niu Gao said to Yang Wudi:

  “Old goat, we’ve all come together, what’s up with you today? Your face looks darker than the bottom of a pot.”

  Yang Wudi snorted coldly,

  “It’s those Spirit Hall bastards. Do you know about the three upper sects?”

  The three chiefs glanced at each other, nodding simultaneously.

  Yang Wudi said coldly:

  “Besides those Spirit Hall lunatics, who else would be able to do it. The upper three sects are broken, and Spirit Hall has convened a great reselection assembly. There’s one of the original four lower sects in our town. They shouldn’t know about our grudges with Spirit Hall, and unexpectedly came to find me, asking me to join their sect. Otherwise they’d raze my Breaking Clan to the ground. Old orangutan, old rhino, old whitebird, you’re like my brothers, we’ll join together, establish a sect, and properly fight it out with Spirit Hall. Let them learn that our four single attribute clans aren’t so easily bullied.”

  The three chiefs looked dumbstruck at Yang Wudi, for a moment forgetting to speak. The depth of Yang Wudi’s grievances surpassed their expectations by far. Now it seemed like he was a volcano on the verge of erupting.

  Yang Wudi looked at the three,

  “What? You scared? If our four clans join together, we’ll also have close to a thousand Spirit Masters. With our strength combined, we won’t be much less than any of the four lower sects. Don’t tell me we’ll struggle on at death’s door to survive? It’d be better to fight it out. There are people from the two great empires I do business with, and I’ve recently always had contact with the Star Luo Empire. If I establish a sect, it would be in Star Luo Empire’s capital. There, Spirit Hall’s strength still isn’t too powerful. Existing shouldn’t be any major problem. Our Breaking Clan has also put aside some savings over the years, supporting the lives of all the clans isn’t a problem for the short term. And the Star Luo imperial family will also support us to some extent.”

  Niu Gao couldn’t help saying:

  “Old goat, haven’t you suffered some loss? Ordinarily you wouldn’t be so impulsive.”

  Yang Wudi’s expression turned even uglier,

  “A loss? If it just stopped at that. Those lower sect bastards have already prepared to attack our Breaking Clan. If I don’t have any plans when I return this time, you won’t see me next year.”

  Tai Tan said:

  “Old goat, we seem to hold the same view without even talking it over. The day before yesterday the Elephant Armored School also came here to old rhino the day before yesterday. If we stay alone, it might be difficult to exist hereafter. However, I’m not optimistic about the Star Luo Empire side. We’re not familiar with the Star Luo Empire, and we don’t have people who have lived there long. I talked it over with old rhino and old whitebird, preparing to go to Heaven Dou City. No matter what is said, I’ve still done business there for twenty years, that can count as some foundation, giving everyone a place to stay.”

  Yang Wudi frowned,

  “Going to your place? That’s not impossible. Only, our Breaking Clan’s business contacts are in the Star Luo Empire. If we went to the Heaven Dou Empire, we would have to start anew with everything. Relying on only the financial ability of your Strength Clan alone might not be enough to provide for everyone. Establishing a flourishing business network isn’t so easy.”

  Tai Tan grinned, saying:

  “Don’t worry, providing for everyone isn’t a problem. We’re preparing to establish a sect called Tang Sect. In fact, I just wanted to introduce you to the sect master, but you didn’t pay attention.”

  While speaking, he pouted towards Tang San to the side.

  Yang Wudi stared blankly, looking doubtfully at Tang San,

  “He’s the sect master? A kid still smelling of mother’s milk?”

  Tai Tan said:

  “Is that impossible?”

  Yang Wudi stood, glowering at Tai Tan,

  “Old orangutan, the flames are already burning my eyebrows here, and you’re still in the mood to crack jokes.”

  Tai Tan’s expression dropped, he was just a bit unhappy about Yang Wudi verbally abusing him. In terms of spirit power and age, he was always the boss of the four single attribute clans, and now his anger surged,

  “Old goat, nobody’s cracking jokes here. Tang San isn’t just the sect master of our Tang Sect, but also master’s son.”

  The pupils of Yang Wudi’s eyes suddenly contracted,

  “You’re saying, he’s Tang Hao’s son?”

  Tai Tan snorted, but didn’t speak.

  Yang Wudi glared fiercely at Tang San, then turned sharply and walked towa
rds the exit. The two youths who had followed him hurried to catch up.

  “Old goat, what are you doing?”

  Bai He hurriedly stepped forward to pull him back.

  Yang Wudi didn’t turn his head:

  “You’ve all compromised with Clear Sky School, I have nothing else to say. There’s no place for me here, I’m leaving. Treat it as if I didn’t come today.”

  Bai He hastily said:

  “Don’t be rash, listen to me. Do you only trust your old brothers so much?”

  Yang Wudi had the best relationship with Bai He, and hearing this, his complexion eased somewhat,

  “To have me stay behind, first have that brat called Tang San fuck off. Also, don’t mention the Tang Sect in front of me again.”

  Bai He’s complexion immediately grew unsightly, no matter what was said, Tang San was his grandnephew, and Yang Wudi wouldn’t even give him the chance to talk. His original plan seemed to have lost effect.

  “Senior Yang Wudi, can you let junior say a few words.”

  Tang San stood from Tai Tan’s side and walked over.

  Yang Wudi turned sharply, coldly looking at Tang San, dense killing intent suddenly releasing without the slightest cover,

  “I swore that the Clear Sky School would be my eternal enemy. Take the chance while I can still hold back to fuck off out of here, otherwise, don’t blame me for cutting your corpse into pieces.”

  Tang San’s gaze abruptly turned cold, looking at Bai He next to Yang Wudi,

  “Granduncle, I’ll trouble you to step aside. I want to see how senior Yang Wudi can cut me to pieces.”

  Tang San absolutely didn’t say this out of impulse. Confronting Yang Wudi, he understood that there was no sense in exchanging words. This person was headstrong to an unimaginable degree. If he didn’t suppress his anger, he wouldn’t even have the chance to speak.

  Yang Wudi smiled rather than grow furious,

  “Good, good, good, even a kid still smelling of mother’s milk dares hoot at me. You’re Tang Hao’s son alright. Old whitebird, don’t accuse me of not giving you face, I’ll leave him with one breath left.”

  Bai He looked somewhat anxiously at Tang San, but saw Tang San send him a relieved expression. In an instant, Tang San and Yang Wudi simultaneously radiated imposing manner.
