Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 100 Tang Shenwang Returns to His Old Habits

Unlike usual, this time when Tang San heard Yu Xiaogang's encouragement, he did not engage in a harmonious master-disciple relationship with Yu Xiaogang.

After taking the pill, Tang San's heart was in turmoil, and he didn't listen to Yu Xiaogang's inspirational words at all.

Unlike the other Shrek Academy disciples who focused solely on checking their cultivation levels after taking the pills, Tang San, as a disciple of the Tang Sect, made a surprising discovery through the effects of the medicine and his observation of the pills before taking them.

Amazing herb!

This elixir contains the unique medicinal power of immortal herbs. Based on its effects, it should be the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid. However, the content of these herbs is extremely low, and it should only contain some powder from the flower stamens. If it weren't for Tang Shenwang's meticulous observation, he might not have been able to discover it.

With this discovery, Tang Shenwang could not be as optimistic as Yu Xiaogang. Considering Xiao Yu's strength, Tang San deduced that the other party must have consumed a whole top-grade immortal herb. There would be no situation like Yu Xiaogang said, where his cultivation would be difficult to advance in the later stages. Moreover, as the effects of the immortal herb continued to integrate into his body, his cultivation in the later stages would far surpass that of other soul masters with the same aptitude!

Damn it!

This immortal herb, a superior spiritual object born in accordance with the will of heaven and earth and possessing the power to seize the creation of heaven and earth, should belong to me. How could it fall into the hands of that despicable fellow Xiao Yu?

Tang San was screaming hysterically in his heart.

"Mistress! Mistress!"

Seeing that Tang San hadn't replied for a long time, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but put on a stern face.

Several calls brought Tang San back to his senses. He quickly apologized to Yu Xiaogang, "Teacher, I'm sorry, I was daydreaming!"

Tang Shenwang still respects Yu Xiaogang as if he were his own father. Although Yu Xiaogang's analysis of Xiao Yu is completely wrong, it's because he doesn't know about immortal herbs. In Tang Shenwang's understanding, only he, with his Xuan Tian Bao Lu, can truly understand the effects of immortal herbs on this continent.

Yup!

Tang San suddenly had a sense of enlightenment. The Xuan Tian Bao Lu was a cultivation manual written by the Tang Sect in his previous life. How could anyone on this continent know about the immortal herbs recorded on it? Even if the Nine Star Palace occupied some treasure land, they certainly wouldn't be able to recognize all the types of immortal herbs. This gave him room to maneuver.

The medicinal herbs like Qirong Tongtianju and Baban Xianlan, whose medicinal effects are easily discovered, are probably lost. However, herbs like Liehuo Xingjiaoshu and Bajiao Xuanbingcao, which are essentially highly poisonous, would certainly not be picked by the Nine Star Palace if they do not know how to use them.

Yu Xiaogang, of course, had no idea what Tang San was planning.

However, seeing that his disciple, whose soul power had reached level 37 after taking the pill and was nearly 10 levels ahead of him, still maintained a respectful attitude towards him, Yu Xiaogang, who was always self-conscious and sensitive, was quite satisfied.

After giving Tang San a few more instructions on not rushing to solidify his soul power foundation, Yu Xiaogang left.

With less than a year left until the start of the Soul Master Competition, our Master Yu, whom we only knew by name in the past, now has to carefully study the competition's rules, regulations, and procedures to avoid making a fool of himself.

After Yu Xiaogang left, Tang San, who was eager to obtain immortal herbs to improve his strength, immediately turned his attention to Ning Rongrong. Among the people present, only Ning Rongrong, as the heir of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, knew some information about the Nine Star Palace, such as the location of the sect and its internal layout.

Our Tang God King is a penniless person who can't even afford elixirs, let alone immortal herbs. In order to improve his cultivation, Tang God King only has one option: to return to his old ways. He has done it so many times in his previous life that he is very familiar with the ins and outs.

"The immortal herbs are born from heaven and earth, not the private property of the Nine Star Palace. Why should they monopolize them? Moreover, the Fiery Apricot Blossom and Eight-Cornered Ice Grass that I need are highly poisonous. The people of the Nine Star Palace are ignorant of their medicinal properties, and blindly picking and consuming them will only endanger the lives of their disciples. By taking them, such a tragedy can be avoided. They should be grateful to me!"

Under such psychological suggestion, Tang Shenwang quickly came to regard his actions as those of a righteous person.

. . . . . . . . . .

More than a month later, on a dark and windy night, in Sunset Forest.

Under the cover of night, the agile Tang God King extended his flying claws and hooked onto the tree trunk in front of him, dodging and weaving through the trees as he approached the Nine Star Palace branch.

Although Ning Rongrong is the young sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she is still young and has not been to the Nine Star Hall many times, nor has she paid attention to the internal layout and design of other sects.

However, Tang San did not come away empty-handed. At least he learned from Ning Rongrong that the soul tools were produced by the Nine Star Palace headquarters in Xier City, while the pill business was handled by the Tiandou City branch. This saved him from making a wasted trip to the Nine Star Palace headquarters.

The Nine Star Palace branch is located deep in the Sunset Forest, but it does not prohibit outside Soul Masters from entering the Sunset Forest to hunt for Soul Rings. In fact, if a Soul Master feels that the required Soul Ring is too difficult, the Nine Star Palace will also lend a hand as long as the price is reasonable.

During this month or so, Tang San used various pretexts to enter Sunset Forest to observe the situation of the Nine Star Palace branch.

To Tang San's surprise and delight, the Nine Star Palace branch was very lax in its security. After several observations, he was certain that only a small team was responsible for patrolling the perimeter at night.

The Nine Star Palace branch occupies a huge area. Tang San calculated that when the patrol team patrolled the same location, the time interval between two patrols was more than an hour. With his skills, this long time was enough for him to make a round trip.

"I thought the Nine Star Palace was some powerful sect. With this level of vigilance, they're not even as good as the Tang Sect!"

With a mocking expression, Tang Shenwang leaped from the tree trunk and landed steadily on the wall of the Nine Star Palace castle in the next instant.

Beep~~

Unexpectedly, the moment Tang Shenwang's feet touched the ground, urgent and loud alarms sounded from all directions, echoing in the silent night like a death knell.

Before the mockery on Tang San's face had faded, a piercing alarm sounded in his ears. His expression froze instantly, his face turning red and then pale, making for a rather comical sight.

Little did he know that the reason the Nine Star Palace only had a small team responsible for night patrols was not due to lax security, but because the sect had installed a large number of alarm-type soul-guided devices. Once an intruder was detected, the alarm would be immediately triggered, alerting the entire sect. Therefore, there was no need to expend a large amount of manpower on patrolling and guarding the perimeter.
