Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 72: Hooray, I’m Rich!
Chapter 72: Hooray, I’m Rich!
Tang San stirred the contents with his spiritual energy, uncovering a pleasant surprise. Three coins shimmering with six-color radiance were hidden among the pile of wind naturae coins. Similar in size to the naturae coins, these were crafted by piecing together six different materials. Each of these materials had completely different properties, and yet they were combined in such a way as to complement each other, resulting in a stable energy fluctuation.
This had to be the empyrean coin, a level higher than the naturae coins! To put it into perspective, one empyrean coin was equivalent to a hundred naturae coins. Tang San gaped at this discovery.
All demon currency had intrinsic value, in that they could be used for cultivation. This was where their value lay, not in some kind of economic agreement between the races. Every high-level coin was, in other words, a treasure in and of itself.
After inspecting the pouch's contents, Tang San's first thought was that he was now rich!
The benefits of defeating the Wind Wolf Lord were far greater than he had imagined. The rich Wind Wolf bloodline and what was likely the majority of Wind Wolf Town's wealth accumulated over the years were now in his possession. However, what mattered most wasn't the wealth or the bloodline energy, but the spatial storage pouch he was holding.
This little pouch was incredibly convenient! With twenty-seven cubic meters of space, it could store numerous items, and it would make a lot of things far easier for Tang San in the future. Compared to the wealth it contained, he actually valued this spatial storage pouch even more.
Tang San tightened the pouch's opening, causing the spatial fluctuations to dissipate and the pouch to look like a normal pouch once more. He let out a long sigh of relief.
Originally possessing three aetherhorn coins, he felt he was somewhat wealthy. But now, he considered himself akin to a small tycoon.
In a place like Kali City, as long as one had money, there was no shortage of cultivation resources. With this capital, he needed to consider how to quickly convert these resources into his own strength. Enhancing his power was the most important thing.
At least so far, his impression of the Redemption Society was quite good. It was probably the best platform for humans to exist on the Daemon Continent.
Moreover, most importantly, it was very close to Mei Gongzi! Once he settled down, he could see her.
The mere thought of Mei Gongzi warmed Tang San's heart instantly, brightening his eyes.
He calmed his mind and sat cross-legged, silently entering the Mysterious Heaven Technique cultivation state, continuing to digest and absorb the bloodline power of the Wind Wolf Lord.
His Wind Wolf bloodline imprint absorbed the Wind Wolf Lord's bloodline power effortlessly. Tang San could clearly feel that upon entering the fifth order, the Wind Wolf bloodline imprint was beginning to change.
This difference was not merely due to the change in order; a significant part was likely due to the pure and profound bloodline power of the Wind Wolf Lord.
His Wind Wolf bloodline imprint had now become lush and crystal clear, and as he looked at it, he felt as if the imprint contained a giant wolf howling at the moon.
With the enhancement of the Wind Wolf bloodline imprint, Tang San's perception and control over the wind element greatly strengthened when he activated it. His Mysterious Heaven Technique was also improving at an astonishing rate as he absorbed this bloodline power.
Theoretically, the bloodline of the Wind Wolf Lord had to be much more powerful than that of an ordinary Wind Wolf. Wang Yanfeng had told him that among the demon races, the stronger the demon, the purer its bloodline and the closer it was to the level of its ancestors. Therefore, in demon races, the strongest were invariably the royal families, as their bloodline was passed down directly from their mighty ancestors. Naturally, they placed great importance on the purity of their bloodline.
By contrast, even if humans inherited the Demonic God Transformation, they actually could not cultivate it to the same level as demons with the same bloodline due to the presence of human blood. However, the offspring of humans with a Demonic God Transformation and more powerful demons commonly had a more powerful Demonic God Transformation.
The bloodline of the Wind Wolf Lord had to be extraordinary among the Wind Wolf Clan. Tang San wondered why such a powerful being ruled over such a backwoods place as Wind Wolf Town.
He could feel that the strength of the Wind Wolf's bloodline was incredibly close to the sixth order. In addition, when the Wind Wolf Lord died, Tang San could feel a strange energy within it suddenly disappear, vanishing along with its life.
Due to the urgency, he hadn't had the chance to think deeply about it at the time. Now, these changes seemed likely related to the pure bloodline that Feng Xiong had.
He hoped the death of the Wind Wolf Lord wouldn't cause trouble for Teacher Wang and the others. There shouldn't be too big of a problem, though, right? After all, the Wind Wolf Clan will probably blame the Flash Leopard Clan for this incident. Weren't the Flash Leopards attacking on a large scale at that time?
If the Wind Wolf Lord's identity was indeed as extraordinary as Tang San assumed, this incident could end up provoking a dispute between the two clans.
Heh, there’s nothing wrong with that. Let them fight among themselves.
As his thoughts became clearer, Tang San gradually entered a meditative state. Faint blue light swirled around him, the bloodline power of the Wind Wolf Lord transforming bit by bit into his own strength.
The night passed without incident.
As the distant sky began to brighten in the early morning, Tang San woke from his meditation.
He opened the window, waiting for the purple energy of dawn while taking out the spatial storage pouch. Technically, this pouch was still bound to the Wind Wolf Lord. Although he could use it now due to the presence of the Wind Wolf Lord's bloodline aura, whether he could continue using it after completely absorbing it was another matter. Therefore, he had to erase the mark of the Wind Wolf Lord on it.
This required a strong mental force, and in the morning, when he cultivated the Purple Demon Eyes, his mental strength was at its peak.
On the eastern horizon, a pale white appeared, and Tang San's eyes turned purple. His solid mental power, accompanied by the aura of his Wind Wolf Transformation, silently penetrated the spatial storage pouch.
Soon, Tang San found the spiritual imprint inside. His experience with the spatial element in his previous life meant he didn't take long to understand it.
A flash of green light and the original imprint was undone. Tang San then imprinted energy from the Mysterious Heaven Technique onto it, resealing it and leaving a strand of his mental power within. This way, he could retrieve anything he wanted from the pouch with just a thought.
As the sun rose, a smile appeared on Tang San's face. What a wonderful start to the day!
He secured the spatial storage pouch close to his body, stretched, and, after freshening up, left his room.
Although Kali City was located in the north, the temperature inside the city and in its surroundings was actually much higher than elsewhere. As the city was located in the space between two mountains, the climate was milder and, from what Tang San heard, it felt like spring year round. It was a very comfortable place to live.
Looking down halfway up the mountain, he could clearly see the smoke rising from the stoves of the academy town. The Kali Academy in the distance had a somewhat hazy appearance.
That wasn't fog but rather seemed like some kind of concealing formation. This sense of mystery made Tang San want to investigate.
Cheng Zicheng had mentioned yesterday that he could join the sparring teams to earn an income. These teams could enter Kali Academy. Perhaps he could try that in the future.
"You're up!" A familiar voice rang out, and as Tang San turned, he saw Du Bai approaching him.
Compared to yesterday, Du Bai's eyes looked a bit red today, perhaps from a night of healing cultivation.
"Good morning, senior brother Du," Tang San greeted him with a smile.
Hearing Tang San call him “senior brother Bai,” Du Bai's eyes lit up. Before Tang San's arrival, he was the youngest here, only eleven years old. He was used to calling others “senior brother” and “senior Sister” all the time. He hadn't expected to have a junior brother himself this time.
