Chapter 138 Obtaining the Blood-Melting Pearl to Dispel Nightmare Qi, Using the Excuse of Investing as an Excuse to Tempt the Turtle's Heart [Part Two]

'This...this is bloodletting?'

Lang Gan shuddered. This is outrageous! At least wait until my energy recovers...

'what? '

She suddenly realized that her body was full of energy and blood, and she no longer felt weak.

This state cannot be improved immediately simply by replenishing one's Yin energy.

'So, there was still energy to replenish blood and qi within that primordial yin energy just now? This Saintly Son of Yanming's methods are indeed extraordinary.'

Joy is a means of harmonizing Yin and Yang, and it is true that it can be transformed into a variety of special energies.

She had rarely seen anyone in the sect who was as adept at it as this, and there was not a single one below the Core Formation stage.

After this experience, Langgan truly believed that the other party must be someone like a sect's holy son.

'Never heard of him before, and he's wearing a mask. Clearly, "Yanming" is an alias he uses to conceal his identity. If I could get in touch with him…'

"Huh? You don't want to?" Tang Hao was a little dissatisfied when he saw her in a daze.

Hearing the sound, Langgan woke up with a start.

He quickly explained, "Senior brother, you misunderstand. Langgan was just a little distracted. Your methods are truly unpredictable."

"Alright, enough talk, let's get down to business."

Too lazy to listen to her blunt truths, Tang Hao waved his hand and urged her on.

After agreeing, Langgan immediately formed a hand seal and placed a finger on his heart.

In the world of cultivation, obtaining heart blood and essence blood naturally does not require making an opening; it can be done simply by using hand seals.

Just moments later, Langgan's complexion, which had just regained its rosy hue, turned pale again.

A drop of bright red heart blood and several drops of scarlet essence blood, controlled by her, floated to Tang Hao's front.

At the same time, a voice rang in his ear: "Lang Gan has cultivated the Gu Mother's method. When his heart blood and essence blood are combined, they will turn into the blood of the Gu Mother. Senior brother, be careful when using it."

'So that's how the blood of the Gu Mother came about. In that case, I actually already have a suitable one here.' A look of realization flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.

Looking at the blood in front of him, he thought to himself, 'This sample can be kept for future use.'

Thinking this, he immediately took out two jade bottles, put his heart's blood and essence into them and sealed them away, then looked at the other person with a slight frown.

"The Gu Mother's Method, you mean the [Joyful Union Gu]?" Tang Hao replied telepathically. "Won't this affect the [Blood Shark Pearl's] ability to accelerate the removal of [Nightmare Qi]?"

Lang Gan was not surprised at all that Tang Hao knew about the Gu Mother and the [Joyful Love Gu].

This even made them more certain of his identity.

This method was created by her master, and it was through this that the master and disciple became acquainted.

Although relevant information has recently begun to spread among the higher-ups of the Demonic Sect, it is not something that ordinary Masters or Pleasure Masters can understand.

These thoughts flashed through her mind quickly, and Langgan's expression became even more respectful.

"Don't worry, senior brother. Not only will it not have any effect, it will also enhance the effect considerably."

After she finished speaking, seeing Tang Hao nod in satisfaction, she breathed a sigh of relief and then glanced at the Quan family elder on the ground.

"Senior Brother Yanming, what are your plans for dealing with these people?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao glanced at her, wondering what she was thinking, and quickly considered how to handle the situation.

'Killing them is pointless, but we can't just let them go either. Hmm... barring any unforeseen circumstances, we'll have to pass through Moon Spring Island on the way back; these people might still be useful.'

Having made up his mind, he casually replied, "I have a past relationship with Saintess Tantai, and the Quan family is currently under her command. If I kill her casually, Saintess might be in a difficult position."

"I understand." Langgan looked regretful, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's true that she betrayed her family, but her relationship with the Quan family is actually quite complicated, and not as simple as it seems on the surface.

After dealing with the matter here, Tang Hao said to her, "You all rest on the flying boat first. Once my maid recovers, she can leave at will. Just inform my subordinates if you need anything."

"Thank you for taking me in, senior brother."

Langgan and Beishanming exchanged a glance, both noticing the joy in each other's eyes.

Their airship had been destroyed in the previous pursuit.

Although he had recovered from his exhaustion, his injuries were still there, and he definitely needed a safe place to rest.

Being able to stay on Tang Hao's ship is a form of temporary protection.

Nodding to Jingchen Tongzi, Tang Hao led Yin Yuan straight into the cabin amidst Hua Guigui's shouts of "Remember my [Blood Shark Pearl]".

Not far away, on the flying boat of the Nan siblings.

"So strong!"

Nan Lianzhu was captivated by the battle just now.

When she was brutally beaten by the nine women, she only felt pain. But now, seeing them beat up others, she feels a sense of satisfaction.

"Yan Ming has grown up so fast." Unconsciously, Nan Liansong changed his form of address according to the other person's appearance.

Nan Lianzhu nodded in agreement, then nudged his brother: "Hurry up and move closer!"

"you sure?"

Unconsciously swallowing, Nan Liansong pointed in that direction and said, "That's where demons gather. If we go there, won't we be eaten alive?"

She then realized that she had only thought of Guangbai's territory.

"But he has the Blood Shark Pearl! If we could get one, we would have exceeded our mission goals." Nan Lianzhu murmured, looking at the magical flying boat opposite them in the distance.

The distance between the two sides was not too far, and Tang Hao and the others did not deliberately conceal their conversation, so she naturally heard most of it.

The brother and sister were sent by [Hundred Flowers Valley] with the primary mission of investigating [Lustful Poison], which they have already accomplished.

After investigating thoroughly, give them the opportunity to obtain the materials and refining methods; however, this is not a mandatory task.

But the more non-mandatory the task, the greater the reward, making it impossible for her not to be envious.

Just as they were struggling with their decision, a stunningly beautiful young woman flew rapidly towards them from the magical flying boat.

They exchanged a glance and both siblings recognized each other as Yan Ming's Jade Face Makeup.

"Judging from its appearance, it should be Yao Guang?"

"You smelled it?"

"No, his fair-faced makeup is a bit strange. I can't even tell the triplets' auras."

"Then why do you call yourself Yao Guang?"

"I only know this one name!"

"..."

The brother and sister communicated with each other's voices until the other person came close, at which point they stopped.

"This servant, Yaoguang, greets the two fellow Daoists from the South. My master invites you both to be guests on the ship."

Upon hearing these words, Nan Lianzhu immediately revealed a smug smile and raised his eyebrows at his elder brother.

Ignoring his sister, Nan Liansong dared not be negligent and quickly returned the greeting, saying, "Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Yaoguang to lead the way."

The magical flying boat, a room inside the cabin.

Tang Hao took out the drop of Gu Mother's blood from the reward space and dripped it onto the [Blood Shark Pearl] in Yin Yuan's hand.

The blood, like water droplets falling into the soil, silently seeped in.

'It does resemble the legendary blood oath ceremony,' he thought to himself, though in reality, this method of oath ceremony generally doesn't exist.

Yin Yuan closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, then smiled broadly and said, "It really works! I feel that it won't take more than a day to completely remove the Nightmare Qi from my body."

"Thank you, young master!" After she finished speaking, she bowed to Tang Haoying in gratitude.

Tang Hao waved his hand, gave him a slight helping hand, and smiled, "There's no need for that. You've suffered all this because you were doing this for me."

Then, his expression shifted, and he nodded to Yin Yuan.

"You can rest here. The Nan siblings are here; I'll go see them." With that, he left the room.

Yin Yuan tilted his head and muttered, "Hmm, I feel like I forgot to tell you something, young master. Oh well, it probably wasn't anything important."

Following Yao Guang, surrounded by demons.

The Nan siblings were terrified the whole way. It's no exaggeration to say that there were few people on this ship whose fighting strength was inferior to theirs.

Only after entering the cabin of the magical flying boat and being shielded from the outside world did the two of them finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After sitting down in a room, Yao Guang poured tea for them and then took his leave.

"Brother, what do you think we should offer in exchange for the Blood Shark Pearl with Yan Ming?" Nan Lianzhu asked her brother while curiously looking around at the furnishings in the room.

Upon hearing this, a hint of distress flashed across Nan Liansong's face; he had been pondering this question on his way here.

The Blood Shark Pearl is already quite valuable, and since it is virtually impossible to find on the market, it is truly priceless.

The two siblings, now penniless, were truly uncertain about their future.

"I've already made a promise once, so this time I'm afraid I need something tangible." Otherwise, he's afraid people will think he's trying to get something for nothing.

Just then, the door to the room was pushed open, and Tang Hao walked in.

The brother and sister quickly stood up: "Fellow Daoist Yanming."

"Come on in, have a seat," Tang Hao greeted.

Then he took off the mask from his face, casually placed it on the table, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp, before finally letting out a comfortable breath.

Seeing his relaxed demeanor, the brother and sister immediately felt less nervous.

Nan Lianzhu picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked curiously, "By the way, what is your name?"

"I can't just call you Guangbai when you're not wearing a mask, and Yanming when you are wearing one. It feels so distant not knowing your real name." She pouted slightly.

She was still somewhat confident she'd get his real name: 'After all, he was willing to lend me a large sum of spirit stones to auction off elixirs; even ordinary friends and fellow disciples wouldn't do that.'

Tang Hao gave her a strange look, hesitated for a long time, but still chose to be kind and did not ask her, "Are we that close?"

He smiled slightly and said, "You can indeed do that. My original name is a thing of the past. Guangbai was my identity as a rogue cultivator, and when I was the master, I was Yanming."

'I've been called Tang Hao in both my lives. My name from my previous life is now history, but my name remains unchanged. So it's not like I'm deceiving you; at most, I'm just playing a word game,' he thought to himself.

Nan Lianzhu misunderstood. Such is the nature of the Hehuan Sect; Masters and Hehuan Masters often operate under other people's identities.

But in her perception, Yan Ming seemed to be the opposite.

With a sigh, she decided not to ask any further questions.

Just then, a small wooden box, about the size of a palm, was pushed in front of them.

"For you."

"For us?" Nan Lianzhu gestured with his finger between himself and his brother.

After receiving confirmation, the brother and sister exchanged a glance before opening the wooden box.

Inside the box was a piece of silk, and a pink bead lay inside.

"【Blood Shark Pearl】?"

In the past few days, the two have been going from street to street, but have not yet found the seller.

However, they also obtained a lot of relevant information, including methods of identification.

Nan Liansong's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked at Tang Hao suspiciously.

He hesitated before speaking, "Fellow Daoist Yanming, what would you like to exchange?"

When asked what to exchange, he couldn't help but glance at his sister and quickly shook his head.

The other party replied, "No need to exchange, it's a gift for you."

'Give it to us? Could it be that Yan Ming has also taken a liking to my sister?' Nan Liansong's expression changed immediately.

Previously, it was only his sister who was interested. Now that Yanming has also developed feelings for her, how can he possibly keep her in check?
"Really?"

Nan Lianzhu was overjoyed and immediately tried to hug the box to his chest.

However, Nan Liansong pressed him down and pushed him back, saying, "We cannot accept rewards without merit."

'How could it be fruitless?' Tang Hao thought to himself, but didn't say it out loud.

In fact, he had already included the brother and sister in the plan when he first started making it.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was being used; otherwise, there would have been no need for him to disguise himself as a disciple of the Hundred Flowers Sect when he consigned the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill for auction.

It can be said that Quan Zhixian's perception of them as the masterminds was the result of his scheming.

Whether it's considered a reward for sharing the spoils or compensation for being used, they should still get a Tier 1 [Blood Shark Pearl].

Pushing the wooden box back, Tang Hao looked at the two people, especially Nan Liansong.

He firmly said, "Take it, consider it my investment."

"Investment?" Nan Liansong looked puzzled as he glanced at the box in front of him.

"good."

Tang Hao threw out the reason he had just thought of: "I almost became a victim of the [Joyful Love Poison], and I know how dangerous it is."

Nan Liansong had been looking very serious, ready to hear what the other party had to say.

To my surprise, the reason was so far-fetched that I was speechless.

"You're kidding me. This thing is completely ineffective against Masters and Pleasure Masters. At most, it only disgusted me once because of that ugly woman."

He thought to himself, but then he heard the conversation on the other end continuing.

“I know, Fellow Daoist Nan must think this reason is far-fetched.”

Having his thoughts exposed, Nan Liansong felt somewhat embarrassed and wanted to explain, but was stopped by a wave of his hand.

"As I just said, when I was the Master, I was Yanming. But what if someone else had a friend or relative who was infected with this Gu?" Tang Hao shook his head.

He looked at the other party with a solemn expression and said, "Therefore, if your sect really develops an antidote, you must give me a copy of the formula."

"I see." Nan Liansong understood his thoughts. Although he vaguely felt that something was not quite right, he couldn't find a reason to refute it for the time being.

Besides, this was indeed a condition for the exchange, so he put the things away.

He bowed and said in gratitude, "Then thank you very much for your investment, Fellow Daoist Yanming. Once the antidote is successfully developed, our sect will definitely present the formula to you."

"Where will we find you then?" Nan Lianzhu quickly asked.

"Aoki Fairy City."

Tang Hao didn't want to be exposed, but with Jingchen Tongzi and Hua Guigui suddenly intervening, Yan Ming's identity had already been revealed.

Fortunately, he managed to establish a sensory connection with Kitayama Mei and others, so even if this disguise becomes useless in the future, it will still be worthwhile.

Having found a place to make contact, Nan Lianzhu happily followed Nan Liansong.

Knowing that Tang Hao still had things to do and could no longer travel with them, the two prepared to return to Hundred Flowers Valley to report back.

Silence returned to the cabin; after several busy days, he hadn't slept all night.

Tang Hao was already feeling quite tired.

He took out his usual "Thousand Butterfly Soul-Guiding Pillow," lay down, and was about to drift off to sleep.

He subconsciously glanced at the "Claim Reward" button above his field of vision.

The [Mysterious Tortoise Concealing its Mind Technique] suddenly stirred with unusual activity.

This feeling is not unfamiliar.

I had this feeling when I first obtained the aura of [Pure World Glazed Light].

Tang Hao's body trembled instantly, and his weary mind cleared up.

Without hesitation, I chose to "Claim Reward".
