Three days later.

Tang Tian and Li Hong reached the main peak and arrived at the Hall of Merit.

Entering the Hall of Honor, Tang Tian saw Zhong Yang for the third time.

"Master Tang."

"What brings you here?" Zhong Yang asked.

But Tang Tian could clearly feel that his attitude had changed compared to the previous two times.

It seemed deliberate, as if he was trying to distance himself.

Tang Tian smiled and said, "Just passing by, came to see you."

"After all, you are the first person to change my destiny."

Zhong Yang raised his eyelids, glanced at Tang Tian, then changed his sitting posture and said, "It's just my duty, Master Tang, there's no need to be so polite."

"If you need anything, just say it."

Tang Tian inwardly chuckled, thinking that he had completed the task and wanted to distance himself from him.

At this point, he was already clear-minded.

"Well, let me be direct," Tang Tian smiled and said, "As you know, my identity is different now from before."

"The servant I accepted before can no longer uphold my face."

"So, I want to find a few more outstanding disciples, with the same requirements as before."

"Obedient, good-looking, good physique, and decent strength, pure disciples."

Zhong Yang squinted at Tang Tian for a while and said, "Young people have good bodies indeed."

"But it seems you've got something wrong."

"If you want prostitutes, go to the Fireworks Lane. This is the Hall of Honor!"

His tone was blunt, indicating Zhong Yang's attitude.

Tang Tian paused and smiled, "Elder Zhong, you didn't say that before."

Zhong Yang restrained his expression and said lightly, "You can eat a meal messily, but you can't talk nonsense."

"I have always followed the rules of the sect, treating everyone equally."

"The things you did here before were the same, without any flaws."

Tang Tian smiled, pretending not to understand, and took out a delicate box from his pocket, placing it in front of Zhong Yang.

"I understand."

"Just a small token, not a sign of respect."

Zhong Yang looked at the box without even moving, and said leisurely, "Are you testing the elder with this?"

"To tell you the truth, no matter when, I will never accept gifts privately."

"Moreover, a few days ago, the sect issued a strict notice, prohibiting any similar incidents."

"In such a situation, are you intentionally trying to harm me?"

Tang Tian looked at Zhong Yang and finally sighed softly.

"Alright."

"If that's the case, let's pretend I didn't come today."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave the private room.

"Take the things with you."

Zhong Yang said calmly.

Tang Tian turned his head, smiled slightly, and said, "Xiao Xue is pregnant."

"Perhaps the elder thinks this matter has nothing to do with you, but I still want to express my gratitude."

"You can open it and take a look, if you need it, keep it."

"If you don't need it... you can handle it however you like."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

After speaking, Tang Tian left the private room directly.

Zhong Yang looked at the exquisite box in front of him, hesitated for a long time, and finally opened it slightly.

A pile of ordinary spirit fruits fell out, along with a piece of jade emitting a hazy luster, exquisite and beautiful, like a heavenly treasure!

"Snap!"

Zhong Yang closed the lid heavily, his brows furrowed.

But in the end, he quickly put the small box away.

The Innate Dao Jade, even for an elder like him, is an extremely rare and precious divine object!

If he misses this opportunity, who knows when the next chance will come.

After receiving the box, Zhongyang's mouth curled into a cold smile.

"Don't tell anyone, I'm afraid you can't do anything about it."

"But what does it matter?"

"As long as I don't admit it, who knows if you've ever given me anything?"

"Hehe, young man..."

He muttered coldly to himself.

At the same time, Tang Tian, standing at the entrance of the Hall of Merit, greeted Li Hong and left with him.

The Innate Dao Jade was obtained from the Grand Elder.

He had a small jade token in his hand, and he could clearly see that the Innate Dao Jade had never left Zhongyang's room.

How could a person full of greed refuse such temptation?

If you want to push me into the abyss, don't blame me for pushing you down with my backhand.

After completing these tasks, Tang Tian returned to the Purple Bamboo Courtyard.

The backhand had already been left, and it would naturally come into play when the right opportunity arose.

Just wait.

Next, Tang Tian once again immersed himself in cultivation.

Among those who went to the Dragon Pool, he absorbed the most dragon energy.

Calculating, almost one-third of the dragon energy was completely swallowed by the Gluttonous Secret Art and integrated into his body.

Every time he cultivated, strands of dragon energy would seep out, promoting the progress of his cultivation.

In just a few days, he broke through again and reached the late stage of Gold Core.

There is still more than a month until the selection of core disciples, and by then, he will definitely achieve Nascent Soul.

Young disciples, clean your butts and wait for Tang Tian to teach you a good lesson.

Hmm... it seems a bit perverse to say that...

Oh well, let it be perverse, his "reputation" has long been established.

A few days later, just as Tang Tian successfully reached the consummation stage of Gold Core and was about to make a breakthrough towards the Nascent Soul realm, Qin Hai, who hadn't been in contact for a long time, finally sent a message.

Under the old locust tree, Tang Tian listened quietly to Li Hong's report.

"Qin Hai has found new clues. Tian Feng's actions that day were indeed instigated by someone, but it is still uncertain whether it was Du Yuanqing."

"He has also made contact with the upper echelons of the Tengyun Chamber of Commerce. As long as he can successfully establish a relationship, everything can be investigated."

"However, this matter seems to be not easy."

"Qin Hai said that he may need the young master's help."

Tang Tian asked calmly, "What does he want me to do?"

Li Hong said, "Qin Hai said that in order to completely gain the trust of the upper echelons of the Tengyun Chamber of Commerce, he needs to prove his own value."

"The value of a businessman lies in trade."

"If possible, he will bring the high-level members of the Chamber of Commerce to make a deal with you, but the amount of this deal will be very large."

Tang Tian immediately laughed.

Is this also considered a task?

If it is, it can only be called a good task!

"You tell him not to worry, no matter how large the amount, it doesn't matter."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

Li Hong hesitated and said, "According to Qin Hai, it may exceed trillions!"

Tang Tian waved his hand and said, "Tell him the more, the better."

"By the way, when choosing resources, let him focus on auxiliary cultivation and cultivation techniques."

"The higher the level of auxiliary cultivation resources, the better. As for cultivation techniques, it doesn't matter, regardless of the level, as much as possible."

The resources for auxiliary cultivation were mainly prepared for Li Hong and the others.

As for cultivation techniques, they were used to expand the Way of the Ten Thousand Laws.

Tang Tian had a faint premonition that if he cultivated this Way of the Ten Thousand Laws to its peak, it would definitely not be weaker than any immortal technique!
