Chapter 136: Ending The Shopping Trip
"Forge a weapon?" Mu Yunyu was taken aback, as this was the first time she had heard about using Sharp Crystal Gold to make weapons. It was certainly a costly endeavor—the piece Tang San wanted was only the size of a baby\'s fist, yet it was worth almost one entire naturae coin. She felt it to be a useless expenditure.
Black Crow Stone, on the other hand, wasn’t very expensive. This material didn\'t repel elements; its only advantage was its hardness. Tang San bought a lot, about one cubic meter. If it weren\'t for the fact that Kali City didn\'t produce Black Crow Stone, it wouldn\'t be worth much at all.
"Do whatever you want. After all, it\'s your money, and how you spend it is up to you," Mu Yunyu said irritably.
"Thank you, Sister Yu."
In total, the things he needed came to two naturae coins and thirty-five aetherhorn coins.
The most expensive items were the Dragon Tendon Fruit and Sharp Crystal Gold. The Green Jade Vine and Black Crow Stone didn\'t cost much.
Tang San was satisfied with his purchases. He didn\'t need the shop to keep them in storage for him; he could just take everything straight to his room.
Du Bai beckoned to Tang San. "Little Tang, help me decide what to buy. Should I also get a Dragon Tendon Fruit? There\'s still one left."
Tang San approached him and said, "Don\'t buy the Dragon Tendon Fruit. Instead, I suggest that senior sister Zicheng should buy it."
"It\'s too expensive; I can\'t bear to spend that much," Cheng Zicheng said, looking like a miser.
Tang San smiled and said, "Hehe, how can you catch a wolf if you don\'t put a sheep as bait? Senior sister, the biggest problem with your Golden Wing Wind Splitting Slash is the fact that your toughness is lacking, and not only does the recoil make you unable to use it more than once, but you also run the risk of injuring yourself. You know that, don\'t you? Well, look at the description of the Dragon Tendon Fruit. Its greatest benefit is strengthening tendons and bones. I think if you use one, not only will it solidify your fifth-order cultivation, but it will also make your body stronger, so it\'ll be much easier on you when you use the Golden Wing Wind Splitting Slash. It\'s worth a try."
"Really?" Cheng Zicheng looked at the long, dark purple fruit, still hesitant.
"I think it\'s a good idea, too," Wu Bingji came over. He had already chosen his items, which were naturally all related to ice attributes. He was now at the early stage of sixth order, so his priority was to improve his cultivation. Therefore, he selected items that would enhance his perception of the ice element and the richness of his bloodline. He didn\'t buy much, as the naturae coins themselves were excellent for cultivation. He hadn\'t tried to use them before because he simply couldn\'t afford it, but he was ready to try it this time.
"Okay, then I\'ll buy one. It\'s so expensive~" Cheng Zicheng stuck out her tongue and decided to buy the last Dragon Tendon Fruit.
"What about me? What should I buy?" Du Bai asked Tang San for help.
Tang San smiled and said, "You and senior brother Gu Li need items that improve spiritual power. You should focus on that. You have just broken through, and your spiritual power is snowballing. If you use a couple of elixirs that enhance spiritual power, you can quickly stabilize your cultivation and you\'ll be able to progress faster."
There weren\'t many elixirs for enhancing spiritual power in the small shop, just two or three types. Du Bai discussed with Gu Li, and they split them evenly, buying everything available.
However, the elixirs for enhancing spiritual power were extremely expensive. Together, they spent six naturae coins, three each, which made them so reluctant to pay that they refused to buy anything else.
Tang San didn\'t recommend Du Bai to enhance his physical qualities now because he was innately too weak in that aspect. Even with enhancement, achieving the same level of toughness as others was almost impossible. Focusing on spiritual power was a better choice, especially since that was where the actual utility of the Celestial Fox Transformation lay. Only by enhancing his spiritual power sufficiently could there be a possibility for the Celestial Fox Transformation to continue advancing.
After completing their purchases, the five of them spent over ten naturae coins in total. Mu Yunyu looked delighted. In a great mood, she personally saw them out of the shop.
"Remember to use the elixirs promptly when you get back. Don\'t waste their potency. You\'re welcome to visit again."
After Tang San and the others left, someone emerged from behind the shop—Guan Longjiang.
Without turning her head, Mu Yunyu said, "Why not give these kids a bit of a discount? Shouldn\'t we support them more?"
Guan Longjiang smiled slightly in response. "This is what we call \'spreading the dew evenly.\' Their gains this time were too great, and they weren\'t short of money. What we earn from them naturally should be used to subsidize the other children. Who told them to make money so quickly? Keep a close eye on them here. Tomorrow, I\'ll go with your brother to protect the second group going out for field training. It might take up to ten days before they can return. I hope they also have a good harvest. I also want to see if this real-life field training is effective."
Mu Yunyu said, "Among these five children, four advanced in cultivation, and they even brought back so many demonic beasts. The facts speak for themselves. It\'s hard to complain. That kid, Tang San, really has some methods. I heard from Zicheng that the overall commander during this operation wasn\'t Wu Bingji but Tang San. Although Wu Bingji is their eldest senior brother, they all seem to be looking to Tang San for directions now."
Guan Longjiang nodded. "This kid seems to have a special charisma, he\'s a natural-born leader. I hope he can continue to grow with this momentum. On the other hand, your brother is pretty frustrated. He\'s been teaching practical combat for so long, but Du Bai and Gu Li were stuck at the same order for years. And yet, after going out with Tang San for a few days, they both broke through. Yesterday, your brother even told me that for the second batch going out for training, we shouldn\'t intervene unless they are actually facing death. Let them experience the taste of hovering on the edge of life and death, he said. He\'s really determined this time."
Mu Yunyu said with a hint of helplessness, "Then I\'ll have to worry about the kids in the second batch for a bit. Don\'t go too far, though! Safety first."
"Don\'t worry. It\'s not like they\'ll encounter a situation like the Winged Tiger King every time," Guan Longjiang reassured her.
Tang San and the other four returned to their rooms. Each having purchased valuable items, they were naturally eager to use them immediately.
Tang San put the Sharp Crystal Gold and Black Crow Stone into his spatial storage bag. He wouldn\'t use them for the time being, but his lips were curled up in satisfaction.
Although he spent over two naturae coins today, Tang San knew it was worth it. The Dragon Tendon Fruit was a solid investment. It was the ideal medicine for him right now. It would help him toughen up and refine his meridians, as well as enhance his overall physical quality, allowing him to withstand the energy of his sixth-order cultivation. Moreover, it would accelerate his bodily growth. With the addition of demonic beast meat and blood, Tang San was sure that his frailty would soon be a thing of the past.
What he said to Mu Yunyu was sincere. He needed to let his body continue to grow to break through to higher realms. After all, he was only nine years old, and his body struggled to handle the internal energy, which was a significant issue.
Even though he was a God King in his previous life, cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique to the third order at his age would have been very good under normal circumstances. The only reason he had been able to achieve such a high cultivation was due to the devouring ability, which allowed him to accelerate his progress. However, his physical growth couldn\'t keep up with the speed of his cultivation advancement.
