Spending Money Does Not Decrease But Increases, I Am Invincible With Dual Systems

The evening was approaching when Tang Tian finally left the venue of today's exchange meeting.

To summarize, there were quite a few things gained.

Innate Dao Jade, consumption points, merit points, the gains were all very substantial.

Moreover, he finally knew what people like Lu Changge were playing.

The position of being above everyone else, who wouldn't be envious?

Especially for those who crave power, this position is enough for them to pay any price.

However, Tang Tian didn't have much interest. He always had only one goal.

Consumption.

As for the rest, as long as it meets the requirements for promotion to the Cloud Top Heavenly Mansion.

Thinking of this, Tang Tian asked Wang Ziyu, "Can retainers only be promoted to the Heavenly Mansion through the Hundred Gates Battle?"

"Are there any other ways?"

To promote as an honorary disciple, three promoted retainers need to be cultivated.

Tang Tian currently only had four retainers, and Li Hong was already over twenty-five years old, so he couldn't participate in the Hundred Gates Battle.

In that case, the margin for error would be a bit low.

He didn't want to casually increase the number of retainers.

Wang Ziyu thought for a moment and replied, "There are other ways."

"If they are under fifty years old, they can be promoted through the Ten Thousand Demon Trial Tower."

"But this method is even more difficult than the Hundred Gates Battle, usually prepared for those extremely exceptional disciples who mature late."

Tang Tian nodded.

Having another option would increase his chances.

Wang Ziyu looked at Tang Tian and asked in a low voice, "Tang Xiong, do you plan to promote all of your current retainers?"

Tang Tian nodded and said, "I just don't know if they are willing."

Wang Ziyu said, "They will definitely be willing. There is no disciple who would refuse the path to promotion to the Heavenly Mansion."

"Especially someone like Li Hong, who has already lost hope of promotion, will definitely be extremely eager."

"But... I think it would be better for you to find some more outstanding retainers, as they would be easier to cultivate."

"Li Hong... to be honest, even if it's the Blue Jade Sisters, the resources required to truly make them top-notch may be immeasurable."

Tang Tian raised an eyebrow.

Yes, why didn't he think of this?

If he had known earlier, he would have specifically looked for people with less outstanding talent. These people are generally more obedient and more interesting to cultivate.

As for the cost and such, hehehe.

"Forget it, the more outstanding a person is, the more unruly they are."

"I don't have the energy to cultivate relationships with them or anything like that. Spending money is the simplest."

Tang Tian said.

Wang Ziyu shrugged, "Well, your choices are always so different."

"But with your Innate Dao Jade, it's not impossible."

"That thing is a divine object."

Tang Tian's heart moved and he asked Wang Ziyu what the Innate Dao Jade could do.

With Wang Ziyu's explanation, he roughly understood some things.

The reason why the Innate Dao Jade is called a Soul Refining object is because it not only helps with cultivation, but also has a very terrifying ability.

It can connect with the will of the Heavenly Dao, directly peering into the origin of the world, and thereby enhance one's own cultivation talent!

If there is enough Innate Dao Jade, it can even push an ordinary talent cultivator to the peak!

Such an ability is truly heaven-defying.

However, this matter further dispelled Tang Tian's intention to continue recruiting retainers.

He only needs obedient and capable ones.

After this period of contact, Li Hong is actually quite good.

While he was thinking, Gu Xiaoxue suddenly walked up and said, "Young Master Tang, that woman has been following us all along."

Tang Tian was taken aback, then turned his head to look. Sure enough, there was a familiar figure following them from a distance, and they had already left the venue for some time.

It was Lin Yue.

Tang Tian stood still and looked at Lin Yue as she approached slowly. He asked in a calm voice, "What's the matter?"

Lin Yue's expression was complicated. She pursed her lips and said, "Tang Tian, we may have had some misunderstandings before."

"I'm really grateful for what you did today, otherwise..."

Tang Tian waved his hand directly, interrupting her, "You don't need to say these things to me."

"Since that day at the Golden Jade Hall, we have had no relationship."

"What I did today has nothing to do with you. You don't need to count any favors on me."

He didn't want to continue entangling with Lin Yue.

Their values were too far apart, and there was no need for any social interaction.

Lin Yue frowned, looking at Tang Tian with a hint of sadness, and said, "Are you really so heartless?"

"If today, Lu Changge wants to kill me, would you intervene?"

Tang Tian shook his head, "I don't like 'if', and I don't want to answer you."

"Say it again, we have no relationship anymore."

"You go your way, I'll go mine."

"That's it."

After speaking, Tang Tian turned and walked away.

"Tang Tian!!"

Lin Yue's shout came from behind, but this time, Tang Tian didn't even consider stopping.

Watching Tang Tian's figure, Lin Yue's gaze went from complex to resentful, "So you've made a fortune?"

"If it weren't for me, you would still be a woodcutter worrying about your next meal!"

"What's so great about it? In the world of cultivation, strength is everything. Without talent, you can never truly stand at the peak!"

"I've already broken through to the Gold Core stage, and I'm about to become a true core disciple. This is a status that no amount of money can buy!"

"My future will definitely be stronger than yours. Are you willing to bet with me?"

"Tang Tian!!"

The roar grew fainter and fainter.

And Tang Tian never stopped his footsteps.

Strength, talent, betting, hmph.

Perhaps there is some truth in what Lin Yue said, but at this moment, Tang Tian and she are no longer on the same level.

She has no right to bet with Tang Tian, nor is she capable of affecting his state of mind.

She is nothing.

Before it got dark, Tang Tian returned to the Purple Bamboo Courtyard.

Li Hong was already waiting here. Tang Tian had informed him on the way.

"Tang Shao, is there something important?"

Li Hong asked.

Tang Tian nodded, "Let's talk inside."

Then, the few of them walked into the Purple Bamboo Courtyard and sat at the stone table under the old locust tree.

"I'll get straight to the point."

Tang Tian looked at the four of them and asked, "Do you want to enter the Cloud Summit Heavenly Mansion through my identity as a retainer?"

As soon as the words fell, three of them instantly froze.

The Lan Yu sisters' expressions changed slightly, while Li Hong was full of astonishment.

As for Gu Xiao Xue, this girl didn't even know what the Cloud Summit Heavenly Mansion was.

"Tang Shao, this question..."

"Shouldn't you be asking me?"

Li Hong spoke first.

Tang Tian's expression remained unchanged, "Why shouldn't I ask?"

"Is it because of your age or your talent?"

"I know your situation very well. Just answer me, do you want to or not?"

Li Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Who wouldn't want a bigger stage? But I know my own abilities. With a seventh-ring talent, the gap between me and those geniuses is too big."

Tang Tian silently took out an Innate Dao Jade and said, "Recognize this?"

Li Hong froze again, looked at Tang Tian with disbelief, and after receiving a confirming look, he stood up and bowed deeply to Tang Tian.

"If that's the case."

"I, your subordinate, am willing to do my best to serve you!"

Tang Tian showed a satisfied smile.

After all, they were smart people who not only understood Tang Tian's intentions but also changed their way of addressing him.

Then, he looked at the Lan Yu sisters.

The two of them exchanged glances and also stood up, bowing deeply.

"We will honor you as our master!"

Tang Tian nodded slightly.

Finally, he looked at Gu Xiao Xue, who was playing with her hair on the side.

"Huh? Oh."

Gu Xiao Xue looked at the other three, scratched her head, and asked, "Are you going to that Heavenly Mansion too?"

Tang Tian smiled, "Of course, I'm promoting you all so that I can promote myself as well."

"Then I'll go too."

Gu Xiao Xue said, then asked somewhat embarrassedly, "But... can I not call you master? It feels a bit awkward."

Tang Tian immediately laughed.

"That's fine."

"Just call me by my name."
