Chapter 86: The Little Store

The southern room was large. Actually, even though it was technically called a “room,” it actually comprised three rooms. Each room had shelves filled with items, many of which were covered with protective cases. And even through the protective cases, it could be clearly felt that each item emitted a distinct aura, contributing to the dense spiritual energy in the room.

This was indeed a convenience store!

The owner of the voice that they had heard earlier now stood before them—it was none other than their physical training teacher, Mu Yunyu.

Mu Yunyu didn't even glance at Du Bai. Instead, her gaze sized up Tang San twice. "I've heard about your achievements. It seems I've been too conservative with your physical training. You'll need to step it up tomorrow."

Tang San's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he replied helplessly, "Alright, Teacher Yunyu."

Mu Yunyu said, "Take a look around. Our store has plenty of good items. Do you need me to introduce them to you? Each item has a description underneath, so you can check them out yourself."

Tang San quickly responded, "I'll take a look myself. There's no need to trouble you, Teacher Yunyu."

Although the items in this world were somewhat unfamiliar to him, the discernment of a God King was not to be taken lightly! Moreover, with descriptions available, he wouldn't miss any suitable items.

Just as Tang San was about to start looking, Du Bai, beside him, suddenly started limping, "Teacher Yunyu, I think I've pulled a muscle today. Can I take a rest tomorrow?"

Mu Yunyu responded indifferently, "Get lost. You don't have money to buy anything, don't be a nuisance here."

This scene made Tang San chuckle lightly. It seemed that Mu Yunyu knew Du Bai quite well.

He didn't say much. Instead, he carefully examined the items on the counter, looking for treasures that might aid his cultivation. After all, the items he could find in such an energy-rich environment had to be extraordinary.

Although Du Bai was driven away, he didn't leave. Instead, he quietly watched Tang San from a corner of the room as the latter was selecting items. He seemed to understand his role here; he was just a follower, and Tang San was the real protagonist.

Tang San's eyes scanned the items on the cabinet individually. His eyesight and judgment of items were extraordinary, not just because he was a God King but also because he had a deep understanding and perception of cultivation and various items owing to his past lives. He knew what he needed and which things were worth his attention.

This so-called convenience store was a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, where each item had its unique value and purpose. Tang San was very careful as he browsed, hoping to find a true diamond in the rough. After all, in this world full of mystery and adventure, even the most inconspicuous item could turn out to be something vital to reaching higher realms.

In the meantime, Du Bai was fussing around. "Teacher Yunyu, I am the academy’s mascot. You should be nicer to the mascot." Folloow current novÊls on nov3lb((in).(com)

In contrast, Tang San asked nothing throughout his visit, instead going ahead and inspecting all three rooms by himself. It wasn't until the bell for dinner rang from outside that he was brought back to reality.

"Dinner's ready, I'm closing up. Do you want anything?" Mu Yunyu asked.

Tang San, slightly regretful, responded, "Teacher Yunyu, I haven't finished looking. Can I come back tomorrow?"

Mu Yunyu nodded and said, "Of course you can. The shop is always open. You can come and look anytime. As a newcomer, you can choose an item worth one aetherhorn coin for free."

The purchasing power of one aetherhorn coin was already astonishing outside, but few items here were valued below one aetherhorn coin.

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Yunyu. I'll have dinner now and come back to choose tomorrow," Tang San said, leaving contentedly.

He hadn't expected that his biggest gain today would be seeing this small shop, which significantly increased his understanding of the species of the Daemon Continent.

Dinner was still lavish, but obviously without demonic beast meat, as such a thing wasn't easily obtained. Tang San heard from Du Bai that even if a demonic beast was hunted, it was generally sold to Kali Academy. The academy would pay good money for it, and that was one of the essential sources of income for the academy town.

After dinner, Wu Bingji and Cheng Zicheng arrived as promised. When Wu Bingji saw that Tang San had also invited Cheng Zicheng, he was slightly surprised, but he just smiled at Cheng Zicheng without saying much.

Tang San poured each of them a glass of water, and they sat down in the living room.

Wu Bingji said, "Little Tang, I'm very interested in your wind blade compression and the way you control the flight of the wind blade. Is it purely controlled by spiritual power, or is a technique involved?"

Tang San replied, "The compression of the wind blade is a combination of spiritual power and my own bloodline power. As for the method of launching the wind blade, that one relies more on technique, supplemented by some control of spiritual power."

"Mainly based on technique?" Cheng Zicheng looked at him in surprise. Everyone thought Tang San's spiritual power was extremely high, which is why he could precisely control the wind blade, so it was unexpected for him to say that it was actually a specific technique that allowed him to do that.

Tang San nodded and said, "It's indeed mostly based on a technique, actually something I developed."

His words were somewhat ambiguous, but it wasn't wrong to say he had developed it himself.

The Hidden Weapon Hundred Separations art of the Tang Sect was indeed exquisitely skillful, but the original art was far from the level Tang San had achieved in his previous life. After all, back in the old Tang Sect, he had enjoyed no supernatural abilities or control over spiritual power.

By contrast, in his next life in the Douluo Continent, he combined the Tang Sect's hidden weapon techniques with actual spiritual power, greatly enhancing the power and possibilities of hidden weapons and the corresponding techniques. This was not something that could be achieved overnight; it was not only an important inheritance from his first life, but also the fruit of many years of labor on his own part.
