The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 213 Tang San is on the Heaven Dou blacklist

Like many places, there is a small town about twenty miles outside Sunset Forest. Although it is an inconspicuous place, it controls most of the herbal and fur trade in the surrounding cities, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the source of the goods.

However, this twenty-mile distance almost took Tang San and Tang Hao a whole day.

As soon as Tang San entered the town, he was greeted by a bustling crowd and enthusiastic shouts. However, when the small vendors saw the father and son, they seemed to have seen a ghost and quickly moved away.

Tang San noticed this and quickly looked himself over, then understood what was going on.

The clothes they are wearing now are still the same tattered and filthy clothes they wore on the field.

Tang San shook his head with a wry smile. It was all because he had been unable to move around easily these past few days and had been feeling rather down. He had forgotten to change into some clean clothes.

Moreover, it wasn't just clothes; my father and I hadn't washed or groomed ourselves for many days. From other people's perspectives, we were probably worse off than beggars!

They glanced around the streets and found no herbs for sale. Tang San took a deep breath, ignoring the stares of others, and headed straight for the pharmacy with Tang Hao.

"Welcome!" The pharmacy apprentice greeted the newcomer warmly upon hearing someone enter the store, but hesitated upon seeing who it was.

Tang San had anticipated this situation and took out a few gold soul coins from his soul tool, waving them in front of the apprentice.

Seeing this, the apprentice quickly regained his enthusiasm and bowed deeply, asking, "What kind of medicine would you two like to have prepared?"

"Qi and Blood Grass, Meridian-Opening Seven-Fragrance Flower, Snake-Edge Grass." Tang San rattled off eight or nine kinds of herbs that he was missing.

The apprentice nodded repeatedly, noting down the herbs Tang San mentioned: "We have all the herbs you mentioned, but Snake-eating Grass and Seven-Fragrance Flower are now controlled herbs, so you'll need to register them."

"Control? What do you mean?" Tang San was taken aback.

"I don't know the specifics, but a couple of days ago the empire suddenly started collecting herbs on a large scale. At the same time, it issued a decree that every pharmacy should keep some emergency stock, and all future purchases should be registered, supposedly to prevent unscrupulous merchants from hoarding herbs."

"We've been discussing whether we're going to go to war lately," the apprentice said to Tang San in a low voice after glancing outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes flickered, then slowly turned cold: "Is registration the only way to purchase?"

"Please don't make things difficult for me, sir. These herbs are limited, and only a small amount has been left for emergencies and those who need life-saving treatment." The apprentice, having probably seen many similar cases in the past few days, quickly let out a wailing.

But just as this wail was heard, several burly men suddenly emerged from the depths of the shop.

Tang San was silent for a moment upon seeing this, knowing that he had no choice but to register now. He then exchanged a glance with Tang Hao and secretly gathered his soul power.

Seeing his father nod, he stretched out his right hand with the mindset of giving it one last try, and a Blue Silver Grass appeared in his hand, followed by a spirit ring appearing under his feet.

Upon seeing this, the apprentice's eyes lit up. He quickly picked up a booklet from the table, but stopped abruptly when he turned to a page. He then compared it with the spirit rings under Tang San's feet.

"I'm sorry, sir, you've been blacklisted. According to the latest regulations of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Spirit Hall, and the Heaven Dou Sect, our shop cannot sell you anything."

"Blacklist?" Tang San was taken aback; he thought he was wanted by the police.

"Yes, is your name Tang San? This record shows that you once indiscriminately killed soul beasts. The recycling center advised you to eat them yourself, but you instead sold them to the black market for profit."

"Although your appearance also destroyed a large underground black market, the quantity you sold was simply too much," the apprentice said calmly, closing the booklet.

"I'd like to ask, why does this rule extend to such a remote corner?" Tang San looked at the pharmacy apprentice with a puzzled expression.

The apprentice was stunned by the question: "Don't you know the combined power of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the Spirit Hall?"

"And most importantly, most of the pharmaceutical industry in Tiandou is monopolized by Qibao Pharmaceutical. Small medicinal herb suppliers like us can't sell our medicines outside without being obedient."

Tang San nodded, then exchanged a glance with Tang Hao, and then attacked together.

"What will Father do next?"

Walking along the jungle path, Tang San's expression was somewhat heavy. He had originally thought he was wanted by the authorities, but he hadn't expected this outcome. This situation was far more painful than being wanted by the authorities.

Tang Hao had been frowning ever since he left the pharmacy. After a moment of silence upon hearing this, he said, "I'll take you somewhere first. There's a way to evolve your Blue Silver Grass there. Then you can go to the Clear Sky Sect to cultivate."

"Father, aren't you going back with us? Right now, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Heavenly Capital Royal Family, and the Spirit Hall seem to be in cahoots. It's not safe for you to stay outside now that your strength has declined."

"."

The forest path fell silent for a moment. After a long while, Tang Hao said in a low voice, "I have no face to return to the Haotian Sect."

"Father, please don't say that."

The final of this Soul Master Competition will be held in Wuhun City. After three days of rest, Li Xun and his group set off for Wuhun City with the main force.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

This trip included not only their fourteen participating teams, but also the thousand Royal Knights responsible for escorting them and Pope Bibidon's diplomatic delegation, making the entire group a grand procession of nearly two thousand people.

With so many people traveling at the same time, and not in a well-organized formation, the journey, which originally took more than twenty days, was delayed by two days.

"Tsk tsk, we'll be in Wuhun City tomorrow and Bibi Dong still hasn't summoned Yu Xiaogang. Are the two of them really that patient?" Dugu Bo opened the carriage window and looked at a luxurious carriage behind him with a gossipy expression.

"Once we arrive in Wuhun City, it's their territory. What's the rush?" Li Xun glanced at Dugu Bo's disrespectful old man and laughed.

"I was wondering if Bibi Dong wasn't afraid of that little girl Qian Renxue fighting her? It seems that someone like Yu Xiaogang is quite popular." Dugu Bo laughed.

"It might be out of sentimentality. If Yu Xiaogang had stayed in Tiandou, we might have been killed the moment we left."

Ning Fengzhi took a sip of tea with relish: "Moreover, in previous competitions, only one thousand royal knights were dispatched for protection. The extras must have received other orders."

"It's all because that little girl couldn't keep her temper in check. If it were me, I would have killed Yu Xiaogang quietly. But she went and made a big fuss by confiscating his property. What could an academy possibly have?" Dugu Bo shook his head with some disdain.

"How could you possibly understand the intricacies of this place? This is probably just another test from Qian Renxue against Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang." Li Xun sneered at Dugu Bo, drawing an angry glare from the latter.

"Ahem, by the way, teacher, after Shrek Academy was raided, did you hear any news about Yu Yuanzhen?" Seeing that Dugu Bo was angry, Li Xun quickly changed the subject.

"I heard that Lao Long went back to Blue Lightning and closed the mountain, but the specifics are still unclear." Ning Fengzhi shook his head.

Should they close the mountain and wait to die? A thought flashed through Li Xun's mind.

"Xiao Xun, what are you going to do about the Nine Star Begonia family? That little girl Ye Lingling has been your spy for so long, and she kept saying she wanted to see you when she left." Ning Fengzhi squinted at Li Xun.

"I'll talk about it when I get back."
