Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1064: Rival Love
After completing the transaction, Tang Xiu sent Daoist Zixuan away. He immediately looked at Jin Shi and said in a deep voice, “Back to the Island of the Nine Dragons with this cultivation resource immediately. After handing it to Ji Chimei, tell him to invest all his time in concocting medicinal pills. If he doesn't have time to concoct, then wait for me to resolve the matter here. I'll fix it myself later. ”
“I'll be leaving soon.” Jin Shi nodded.
“Be careful on the road,” says Tang Xiu. “Try not to be found by a cultivator. I have another task for you to do after you finish delivering this medicinal herb to the Island of the Nine Dragons. ”
“And the mission is?” Ask Jin Shi.
“We will need many ordinary minerals if we will make tools and weapons, such as steel, iron, gold, silver, etc. You are responsible for purchasing these materials,” Tang Xiu's orders. “Contact Xiaoxue and tell her that I have a problem with funds in the short term. Ask him how much money he has. Tell him to give all the funds available to buy the materials needed for repairs. ”
“I will pass your message to him,” Jin Shi replied in earnest.
After sending Jin Shi away, Tang Xiu immediately shifted his focus to Hao Lei and said in a deep voice, “You are the Protective Elder of the Tang Sect from then on. You will get double the annual resource allocation. You are also qualified to engage in important matters relating to the affairs of the sect in the future. ”
A happy and surprised expression filled Hao Lei's eyes. Even though he was ready to get a promotion, he never thought that he would be directly promoted to Elder of the Tang Sect. This status alone was a level higher than Mo Awu and Jin Shi.
On the side, Mo Awu looked envious. He also wanted to become an Elder of the Tang Sect Guard, but he had yet to advance to the Golden Core Stage — a fact that made him very depressed.
Tang Xiu turned his gaze to him and calmly said, “I've prepared six quotas for the Elder's seat. But you must rely on yourself to be the first to advance to the Golden Core Stage amongst the other sect disciples. Go now and tell others that Hao Lei has become the Protective Elder of our Tang Sect. ”
“Understood!” Mo Awu respectfully nodded and quickly retreated from the tent.
As his eyes re-touched Hao Lei, Tang Xiu spoke with a satisfied face, “I have a list of people who I think will be the first to break through to the Golden Core Stage. But I never thought it would be you. Hao Lei, the cultivation path does emphasize the importance of talent, resources, and also opportunities. I'm not concerned about any chance encounter you might encounter, but I'd like you to remember one thing. You were born in the Tang Sect and you will also die in the Tang Sect. Those who will consider you as our own are me and the people from the Tang Sect. ”
“Hao Lei this will polish your warning in his heart, Sect Master,” Hao Lei said respectfully.
Tang Xiu nodded at his reply and smilingly said, “Go! Advancing to the Golden Core Stage was only the beginning of the path of cultivation. I hope you will also be the first to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage. ”
“New Born Soul Stage?”
A stern look filled Hao Lei's eyes as he replied in a deep voice, “I will definitely double my efforts, Sect Master.”
Quickly after, the matter that Hao Lei had become the Protective Elder of the Tang Sect was known to all the disciples of the Tang Sect. Apart from the strong jealousy of the others, they also placed a hint of respect on him. They were very clear how Tang Xiu treated the people below him. He will prioritize the strong. No matter the status and rewards of the resources, what they would obtain was not comparable to the others.
At this moment, breaking through to the Golden Core Stage was the dream of the other Tang Sect disciples. However, the first to reach it was Hao Lei. Furthermore, Tang Xiu himself promised that the first six among the Tang Sect disciples who reached this stage would be the Elders of the Guardians of the – sect this gift sparked everyone's fighting spirit.
Two days later, Tang Xiu, who was secretly cultivating in the military tent, was suddenly interrupted by the ringing sound of his communicator. After grabbing it, he looked at the number displayed on the screen. A faint killing intent covered his face as he asked after entering it, “Are there other large-scale demon beast attacks at the blockade line, Senior Duanmu?”
“We did not get any signs of a demonic attack like the one now, Tang Xiu. But I have invited many cultivators and many of them are strong people. I called you because I wanted you to know them. ”Duanmu Lin's voice and laughter came from the communicator. He was clearly in a good mood at the moment.
Tang Xiu was silent for a moment and then said, “I am now at a critical moment of my cultivation, so I have no time to waste, Senior Duanmu. We can delay the introduction for those who can fight the demonic beasts later, but I can't attend now. ”
Duanmu Lin hesitated for a moment before forcing a smile and replied, “Alright, then! Since you don't want to be bothered, then let's drop off. It's just that I bragged about you before anyone else. It would be very sorry for everyone if you didn't come. ”
“Hehehe.” Tang Xiu chuckled and hung up the phone.
After half an hour, a cold wind blew and there was a commotion outside the military tent, which directly disrupted Tang Xiu's cultivation. He floated up and appeared outside the tent when he saw more than ten strangers standing outside the encampment. However, some of the Tang Sect disciples seemed to be fully alert, facing them like enemies.
“What happened?”
After taking a step, Tang Xiu carefully observed the few people in front and turned his head to ask.
Tang Xiu's eyes landed on the young man leading the group. He furrowed his brows and said, “This place is my Tang Sect's campsite. Don't bother us if you don't have anything important to say. Also ... We don't know each other and I think I didn't offend you either, for what rudeness and contempt was that? ”
The young man wearing white clothes had a graceful and handsome face, but his arrogance was more visible. Her eyes slightly lifted when she saw Tang Xiu.
“Are you Tang Xiu?”
“I,” replied Tang Xiu indifferently. “And your honorable self?”
“I'm Bai Yuheng, Young Master of the Bai Clan from Miao.” Region The young man sneered. “The blind ancestor really got old, didn't he? Thinking that he could no longer think clearly and become confused, even entrusting Xue Yu to you? I've sent people to investigate you. You are the owner of the Magnificent Tang Corporation, a descendant of the Tang Family from Beijing, and also a famous young Divine Doctor. But let me tell you, your identity is worthless in my eyes! ”
“You called your Old Blind Ancestor, yet you have no idea how rude and ugly it was to insult your own ancestor?” Tang Xiu said with a heavy voice and a cold face. “I don't care who I am. All I can see is that you seem to have come here only for provocation. ”
“Heh, you are right.” Bai Yuheng sneered. “This Young Master has indeed come here to provoke you. Today, Duanmu Lin called you for an introduction, but you refused to attend and said you were cultivating and the others. Hmc . Don't think I didn't investigate that you yourself are also a cultivator and an expert. But in my eyes, you are just a fart compared to me. If you know what's good for you, leave Xue Yu! He's not someone you can get. ”
“So, you provoked me because of Xue Yu?” Tang Xiu asked in a deep voice.
Bai Yuheng dropped the fan in his hand and flashed a glance “you turned out not to be that stupid” on Tang Xiu. “You guessed it. It was because of Xue Yu. Rumor has it she is the most beautiful woman in our Miao Territory. It's only natural that she can be my wife. But you .. You don't deserve him. ”
“Heh, whether I'm worthy or not, it's none of your business, to start.” Tang Xiu smirked and said, “Let me tell you, Xue Yu is already my woman, and she will still be my woman then. If you dare to hide your thoughts and try something unwanted on them, then do not blame it for clearing you later. ”
Bai Yuheng looked around and immediately laughed. “Hahaha, are you going to clean me up? That's the ugliest joke I've ever heard in my life. Just relying on you alone, Tang Xiu? What are you gonna do, huh? Order this dumpster with street Kungfu to pack me up? My Bai Clan can overwhelm you with numbers and strength because we have many strong people. We used to be humble and patient because we didn't want to be noticed by others. But now, we all left the Miao Region to this place just to help defend against the ferocious beasts. We no longer have to remain humble, so let me see your skills and what you can do. ”
“Young Master!”
A strong man took two steps forward and whispered, “Young Master, the Patriarch has determined that you will not make trouble here. If you want to deal with multiple people, there is no need to touch them directly. Let him know when we kill the demon beasts. If she knows the big difference between you and her, she will release the Jade Beauty without any fuss. ”
Bai Yuheng thought about his suggestion and felt it was true. He suddenly glared at Tang Xiu and said in a loud voice, “Hei Tang Boy, do you dare to bet with me?”
“What do you want to bet?” Tang Xiu replied with a sneer.
“Let's compete in how many demonic beasts we can kill later.” Bai Yuheng grinned, “If the number of demon beasts I and my people kill is more than yours, then you will give up on Xue Yu and move away from her.”
“Then, what if I win?” Ask Tang Xiu.
“What if you win? Heh, you will never be able to win! ”Jawab Bai Yuheng with disgust.
“Gambling should have something to bet on in order to be fair,” Tang Xiu said indifferently. “So mine is that you will never see Xue Yu again in your entire life if I win. You should also immediately run and hide from me if you see me later. How about that? ”
A frown appeared on Bai Yuheng's face and he loudly replied, “Deal! But I have additional conditions. If I win, then you must not only stay away from Xue Yu but also kneel and prostrate to me three times to admit that you are much worse than me. ”
Tang Xiu narrowed his eyes and coldly snorted. “Hmph, you added customary terms, so I will also add mine. If I win, all the remaining demon beasts you hunt will be mine. But you and I will enter the depths of the Himalayas to kill ten beasts alone. ”
In response to Tang Xiu, Bai Yuheng rolled his eyes and said loudly, “I gave you my words, so the gamble now is certain.”
“Then get out of here because you have complied,” Tang Xiu said apathetically. “Let's meet at the blockade line tomorrow morning.”
Bai Yuheng tightly clenched his fists and looked at Tang Xiu. “No one dared to speak to me in this tone all my life. No one is the first to say that, and you will be the last! Tang punk, I'll make you regret talking to me with that fucking attitude. You'll regret offending me! ”
“You know, a man does not need to run his mouth quickly, but he just needs to talk to his actions.” Tang Xiu sneered. “Let's see who will laugh last. Bai Clan, huh .. hmph, I really hope you won't fool your family, let alone bring calamity to them. ”
