Chapter 108: Chapter 104: The Holy Path (2)

But no matter how passionate and compelling Tang Luo spoke, how could these martial arts researchers, deeply influenced by the classics, be swayed.

“Then we'll just wait for Uncle Tang's book to be published. It'll be good for our Tang Clan to become the next clan of saints.” Tang Guangyu mocked Tang Luo.

Young men are all ambitious. Before studying the teachings of the saints, everyone has a desire to surpass. But when you truly delve into it, you will find that the wisdom of the saints is as vast as the universe.

The more you understand, the greater the image of the saint becomes in your heart. Your desire to surpass is gradually replaced by admiration and then, submission.

You will never have the heart to compete and will become a follower of the saint's teachings.

The way of the saint, great sound vanishes into silence, Xu Sheng's cultivation is merely of the King Realm. But his influence is not something that can be measured by realm.

Just looking at the reverence on Tang Guangyu's face, Tang Luo knew that talking about surpassing with them was like playing a lute to a cow.

“Fine, fine, I'll research on my own.” He waved dismissively, signalling that he wasn't going to rely on the other people in the Secret Arts Pavilion for his journey to surpass the sages, he could only depend on himself.

And this was a path that he must complete.

As his realm gets higher and higher, and his spiritual power becomes more and more substantial, the spiritual power output of each move becomes extremely astonishing.

For those bastards who can restore spiritual power, the more ferocious the output, the better. But he can't, his demand for martial arts skills is at least to be those with low requirements, yet high efficiency and a strong burst of power.

Therefore, researching martial arts skills suitable for himself at the Mortal Realm is not a goal, but something Tang Luo must do.

Either he must be a genius unlike any other or an ordinary person. Those are the only two paths he faces.

Because the goals are different, the requirements for oneself are also different.

Two people of the same aptitude, one sets his goal on the moon, the other sets his goal on the peak of a mountain.

The former, in order to reach the moon, would explore all the mountains in the world, just to reach for that unattainable moon. And when he has traversed all the mountains in the world but still cannot touch the moon, he will find another way.

But the latter, the limit of his accomplishment is the peak of a mountain, when he climbs to the top, he would declare “It's so cold at the top, loneliness is like snow,” but he may not even know if the peak under his feet is the highest one.

Therefore, the minimum of the former is the highest peak in the world, and the maximum of the latter is just that.

This is the different motivation brought about by different requirements. Holding onto the classics, at most, one could become the second Xu Sheng, but for Tang Luo, who is against the teachings of the saints, who can predict his future?

Summer harvest season

“Rep Tang Ming! The Mi Clan has raised the price of new grains to forty gold per thousand pounds, are we still buying?” Tang Qi asked with a mournful face, as one of the people in charge of grain purchasing, the easy job had undoubtedly become a tough one.

The Mi Clan had raised the price of new grains so high that the clan leaders of the Tang Clan divisions were complaining. Every grain purchase was a collective investment, with lots of real gold and silver going out.

What's even more infuriating is that the Mi Clan only accepts cash. If you want to use jewellery or jade to pay, the price would be extremely low.

The division leaders of the Tang Clan have never suffered such humiliation. They immediately wanted to stop buying grains and sell their new grains for fifteen gold per thousand pounds to let the bastard Mi Clan's grains rot in the warehouse.

In these days, no less than thirty clan leaders have vented their anger at Tang Qi, all asking him to stop purchasing grain, saying they would rather give up the land in the North City than put up with this.

Tang Ming said angrily, “Not buy? We've completed nearly half of our task, if we say we don't want to buy now, do you know how much money we're going to lose?”

No wonder he was angry. As the organizer of this grain purchasing operation, he had already taken out all the cash from the house, but it was still a drop in the bucket. If he were to stop now, the value of the property would plummet. “Continue buying! Let all the division leaders tighten their belts for now and put all their cash into buying grains. If I find out anyone is holding back, don't blame me for not being diplomatic.”

On the 8th of August, everything is auspicious and nothing is taboo

For Tang Luo, this was a very special day, because today was his birthday.

As a man born with past life memories, he could clearly recall every detail since his birth. So to him, his childhood was not unknown oblivion, but exceptionally clear.

This was also the fundamental reason why he didn't like the excessive enthusiasm and physical contact of Xu Shuhui.

As a young boy, Tang Luo's birthday banquet was not grand. It was just a family gathering to have a meal together, with his parents giving him some gifts to pray for luck.

But this year was different because a powerful person, who was completely unrelated to him, sent a birthday gift to the Star Pavilion.

“Du Sha.” Tang Luo opened the letter on the gift box and looked up, asking, “Aji, do you know this person?”

Hua Ji nodded and told Tang Luo about Du Sha's background.

Forty miles northwest of Xiling City, there is a mountain called Red Cloud, where people have lived at the foot for generations.

The villagers have been residing under Red Cloud Mountain for generations, and they call themselves “mountain keepers”.

Red Cloud village has a celestial couple, Du Sha and Liu Chan.

A man from the Fierce Realm and a woman at the pinnacle of mortal transformation.

They have a single son named Ziteng.

“So, the gift is a token of gratitude for not killing?” Tang Luo joked.

Hua Ji awkwardly nodded and asked, “So, young master, should we accept this gift or not?”

“Accept it.”

Hua Ji put down the gift box and exited the secret room quietly.

Tang Luo opened the gift box, and a Dragon Soul charm flashed with a faint blue light in the center.

In the extreme east of Longzhou by the sea, there is a valley called Long Valley. In the valley lives a dragon, the leader of the reptiles, capable of both darkness and brightness, of both small and large size….

The temperament of dragons is promiscuous, so they have many hybrid offspring. Most adult dragons are savage beasts with extremely strong fighting abilities.

The beast taming clans regard dragon beasts as their chiefs, and martial artists consider the dragon horn as the most fearsome.

Although the Dragon Clan is unreasonably fierce, young dragons are very easy to kill, so there are always warriors willing to try their luck in Long Valley.

Even though the young dragons' scales and horns are delicate and hold no strong fighting power, their tendons and dragon souls are top-class materials….

If one was able to capture a young dragon, it would undoubtedly be a great fortune.

Whether selling the young dragon to the sacred Yu Ling Sect, which is known for taming spirit birds and fierce beasts….

Or selling it to the Wan Bao Pavilion, both would yield a considerable income.

Dragon tendons can be used as the strings of a strong bow, and the dragon soul can serve as the soul of a spiritual instrument.

With enough dragon souls in the armor, a protective spiritual armor can be created, invulnerable to any Fierce Realm warrior.

Even the soul of a young dragon can be used to create a protective gem, conjuring a dragon soul to protect the body, which can resist the Mortal Realm killing method, essentially providing an additional method of self-protection.

The green jade in front of him was a protective gem created from a dragon soul, worth more than a million golds. Yet, this wouldn't make Tang Luo flinch, but the intention behind sending this precious gem was worth some deep thought.

At that time, Tang Luo simply killed Lou Hongzhi without much consideration. Judging from the current situation, there might have been a lot of things he hadn't taken into account. Maybe Lou Hongzhi had planned for a lot of contingencies and just ended up dying too suddenly to carry them out.

Like why Du Ziteng showed up in the crowd. If he had risen to kill at that time and accidentally killed him, what would this couple from Red Cloud village do?

The so-called celestial couple meant they had great affection for each other. Killing their only son, Tang Luo put himself in their shoes and pondered over it. He felt this situation would certainly be very stimulating.

A Fierce Realm warrior was plotting against me, and I have to visit the Star Pavilion every day. I would probably be dead at any random moment?

And that was just one contingency plan discovered. Did Lou Hongzhi have any other plans?

The more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became.

Tang Luo's trace of arrogance was immediately extinguished. When he realized that if a Fierce Realm warrior was determined to kill him, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape based on his current level.

So this gem sent to the Star Pavilion wasn't just a gift, it was also a friendly warning.

Someone was plotting against you, and the place you are staying is extremely dangerous.

This was why Du Sha sent this gem to the Star Pavilion instead of Tang Mansion.

Sometimes, no plot or scheme could compare to a high ranking assassin. No matter how intelligent and talented a young master is, it would not be difficult to kill him directly.

Tang Luo, who had usually not feared to judge people by their worst intentions, suddenly realized that he had no guarantee of his safety at all..
