"Wrath of the Buddha Tang Lotus, Pear Blossom Rain Needle!" Tang San was taken aback; this Tianlin's appetite was truly enormous.
Things like Silent Sleeve Arrows and Zhuge Divine Crossbows were merely basic hidden weapons. Even if he gave them away, it wouldn't really matter, and wouldn't affect the Tang Sect's foundation. But the Wrath of the Buddha Tang Lotus and the like were different; they were true treasures of the sect.
Fortunately, Tianlin had said he wanted finished products, which meant that the most important crafting blueprints were still in Tang San's hands.
"Brother Jun, you may not know this, but the crafting process for the Wrath of the Buddha Tang Lotus is extremely complex, and the materials required are also very precious. With my current situation, I simply can't make it," Tang San said truthfully.
"This is the direction of cooperation I'm talking about. Tang San, do you know why my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is known as the wealthiest sect?" Tianlin asked with a smile.
"Naturally, it's because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's world-renowned support abilities attract countless affiliated families to join, and everyone develops together, which is why your sect's economy is so prosperous," Tang San complimented. What he said was indeed an important factor.
However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda actually had another secret. Tianlin shook his head and said, "Brother Tang, what you said is only an external factor. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, in addition to its strong support abilities, also possesses extremely outstanding treasure appraisal abilities. Many precious minerals cannot escape the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's appraisal."
"For example, Blue Crystal Mine, Dragonbone, Titanium, Deep Sea Sinking Silver, etc. I think the sect should have some in stock!"
"Is this true?" Tang San's eyes lit up. What Tianlin was talking about were all precious materials for making high-grade hidden weapons. If he could really get these, plus his Clear Sky Hammer, perhaps he could truly recreate the Tang Sect's strongest hidden weapons.
"Of course it's true. So, Brother Tang, you sell me the blueprints for those basic hidden weapons, and we'll make them ourselves. In the future, you can focus on researching advanced hidden weapons, and we'll provide the materials. The condition is that if you develop the Wrath of the Buddha Tang Lotus or the Pear Blossom Rain Needle in the future, the first one must be given to my sect."
"This is a win-win situation for both of us. My sect's direct disciples can gain combat power through hidden weapons, and you can use my sect to develop your Tang Sect. You also know that for a force to develop, it must first have people, and the prerequisite for having people is having money. Coincidentally, money is the least valuable thing to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
Money was worthless; Tianlin's words were a bit arrogant, but he had to admit that what he said was true. Such cooperation would be of great benefit to both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Tang Sect.
At this time, Tang San didn't know his identity as a Clear Sky School disciple. He always thought his father was a powerless and uninfluential blacksmith in the village. Therefore, developing the sect had to rely on himself. Especially after learning from Tianlin that he hadn't been expelled from the sect, his sense of responsibility for the Tang Sect became even heavier.
Currently, what he needed most was money and precious metals, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had all of those things.
Tang San no longer hesitated and immediately said, "Okay, no problem, Brother Jun. Give me one night, and I'll present the hidden weapon blueprints with both hands. But please promise, Brother Jun, that these blueprints must never be leaked to other sects, including those affiliated families of your sect."
"Of course, I guarantee that they will never be leaked. Then, it's a pleasure doing business with you. This is a Gold Soul Coin card worth one million; please accept it!" Tianlin took out a gold card without hesitation. This was what he had asked Ning Fengzhi for before he came.
Ning Fengzhi trusted Tianlin very much and didn't ask him what it was for. He directly stuffed it into his hand, but Tianlin didn't spend it recklessly. The things he bought would definitely make Ning Fengzhi feel that they were worth the money.
Tang San didn't take the gold card. After all, paying upon delivery was the right thing to do. He originally wanted to wait until he sent the blueprints tomorrow to take it, but he didn't expect that the little rabbit next to him was quick-witted and took the gold card first.
Tang San was just about to say something, but Xiao Wu retorted, "What's wrong, Brother? Can't I manage your money?"
"Okay, okay, as long as you don't spend it recklessly!" Tang San said sheepishly.
"Haha, you two 'siblings' really have a good relationship. Today's transaction went so smoothly; I'm in a good mood. I'll give you another meeting gift. Take it." Tianlin took out two medicine bottles from his pocket and threw them to the two of them respectively.
"Tang San, yours is a Xuan Yuan Pill, a kind of pill that assists in cultivation. You can use it to help you break through level 30. Xiao Wu, yours is an Aura Concealing Pill. As the name suggests, after taking an Aura Concealing Pill, you can conceal your entire body's aura for a period of time. Even the strongest people can't see through it. Even if a 100,000-year Soul Beast transforms, it can avoid the detection of Soul Douluo-level experts."
Tianlin said half-jokingly. Tang San was grateful after hearing this. The Xuan Yuan Pill could help him break through level 30, which was considered a good pill. But in Xiao Wu's heart, it set off a storm.
Why would this person say such things to her? Did he know that she was a 100,000-year Soul Beast in human form? But he was only at level 40-something; there was no way he could see through her.
So it was a coincidence? No, it must be a coincidence! Xiao Wu comforted herself in her heart. After all, theoretically speaking, if Tianlin had seen through her, there was no way he would have let her go so easily and even given her a life-saving item like the Aura Concealing Pill.
But this coincidence helped her a lot. After entering a higher-level Soul Master Academy, she had always been worried that she would inevitably encounter high-level Soul Masters. With this Aura Concealing Pill, her safety would be greatly improved.
"Thanks, seeing how sensible you are, if you need anything in the future, this big sister Xiao Wu will take care of you!" Xiao Wu patted Tianlin's shoulder, putting on the expression of a delinquent girl boss.
Who was taking care of whom? Tianlin slandered in his heart. If he wasn't temporarily uninterested in Xiao Wu's Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone, he probably would have reminded Master and Ning Fengzhi to go to the academy to arrest her back at Notting Junior Academy.
A Tang Hao who had been expelled from the sect and was seriously injured would at most make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a little wary, but it was far from being afraid. The temptation of a 100,000-year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone was much greater than this bit of wariness.
And the two of them didn't know that he didn't have good intentions when he gave them the pills. The Xuan Yuan Pill was beautiful on the outside but a failure on the inside. Although its appearance was as noble as an immortal pill, emitting bursts of fragrance, its actual medicinal properties were not even one-tenth of an immortal pill. The Spirit Power it increased was impure and the foundation was unstable. Moreover, according to the original work, Tang San was about to complete his breakthrough in the next few days.
Taking this Xuan Yuan Pill now would do Tang San more harm than good. After all, level 30 is a watershed moment in the early stages of a Soul Master. If the foundation isn't solid here, Tang San would have to spend a lot of time sorting it out later, otherwise it would inevitably affect his later cultivation.
As for the Aura Concealing Pill, it's an absolute pitfall. Tang San will soon lose one of his greatest opportunities because of this Pill.
This is Tianlin's preparation to suppress Tang San's power. He can be strong, but he doesn't need to be as strong as in the original story. As long as he can become a target to attract Spirit Hall's attention and share the firepower for Tianlin, that's enough. Therefore, Tianlin wants to destroy some of his opportunities. Otherwise, who knows if Tang San, who has fully grown up, will turn around and bite the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Given how much Tang San values the Tang Sect, when he is stronger than everyone else, he may not tolerate the Tang Sect's hidden weapons being controlled by other sects. At that time, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School does not obey the Tang Sect, I am afraid it will end up like in the original story, being marginalized by the empire, or even on the verge of destruction.
Although Tianlin is confident that he can always be stronger than Tang San, he is too lazy to gamble. Isn't it better to get rid of the threat earlier? If Tang San wasn't still useful to him, and he had no grievances with him, he would have directly killed him long ago.
As for the Aura Concealing Pill's effect, he can make the effect disappear at any time when he wants Xiao Wu to be exposed.
"Hehe, then I'll take my leave first, see you tomorrow morning!" Tianlin chuckled and said goodbye to the two, and returned to Shrek Academy.
At the gate, Ning Rongrong had been waiting for him to come back. Now Ning Rongrong's eyes are only on him. She has no interest in paying attention to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's little troubles, so the dispute with Dai Mubai in the original story did not happen.
This can be considered Dai Mubai's good luck. Otherwise, Tianlin wouldn't care about his identity as a Star Luo prince. If he dares to bully Rongrong, the Demon Sword will strike him at any time.
Tianlin did not take Ning Rongrong into the Academy, after all, it was too broken inside. Since he is here, of course he can't let Rongrong live in this kind of place.
So the two came to the city and checked into a luxury hotel. Flander was too lazy to care about this kind of thing, as long as Rongrong is not late for class tomorrow.
