Tang San, Tang Hao, and Yu Xiaogang were walking on the road from the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace back to Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang asked, "Little San, is there some secret to that Vast Sea Barrier? You seemed to really want it. I was even considering refusing Xue Beng's apprenticeship gift."
"Gehrman told me it's a token of the Sea God's inheritance."
Tang San held great trust in Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao, so he told them without hesitation.
Yu Xiaogang looked extremely surprised, "A token of the Sea God's inheritance? Xue Beng is even willing to give this away? No, that's not right. Xue Beng probably doesn't know…"
"But since Gehrman knows, then Amon should also know. Why would he send it over?"
Tang San said with a slight frown, "That's what I'm wondering as well, but Xue Beng was present just now, so it wasn't convenient for me to ask, as I was worried about creating unnecessary complications."
Tang Hao thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it's a fishing expedition, using this inheritance item as bait to lure someone out."
"Gehrman! Dad, are you saying Amon's target is Gehrman?" Tang San's expression changed slightly.
"That's right. Amon probably guessed that Gehrman is in the Heaven Dou Empire… In this situation, the only way to defeat Amon is to obtain a god's inheritance… So even if Gehrman and the person he chose know it's a trap, they have no choice but to go," Tang Hao said in a deep voice.
"Isn't he worried that someone might actually obtain the Sea God's inheritance and become a god?" Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but frown.
Tang San immediately replied, "That's just how arrogant he is. Both he and Gehrman, the people of their Amon family, have a kind of arrogance that's different from others. Amon is trying to control everything. We absolutely cannot let him get his way."
At Shrek Academy, a tall, thin old man with snow-white hair was quietly sitting in the reception room, waiting.
Beside him, a beautiful young woman was curiously looking around.
"Is this the world-renowned Shrek Academy?"
"Later, you can exchange ideas with some outstanding students and see the difference between you and them," the old man said with a smile.
The beautiful young woman seemed unconvinced, clearly not thinking she was inferior to others.
Tang Hao led Tang San in, and the moment he saw the old man, he stepped forward to greet him, "Uncle, Little San, come and meet your great-uncle… He's the leader of the Min Clan."
After the Clear Sky Sect ended its seclusion and reopened its doors, Tang Hao personally visited the original four affiliated clans and persuaded them to return to the Clear Sky Sect's banner.
"Great-uncle," Tang San respectfully gave a junior's greeting.
Bai He had a smile on his face, "Good, good, Little San… I heard you have some research in the field of medicine, so I'll give you this."
As he spoke, he took out a pure white jade box and handed it to Tang San. The jade box was about one and a half feet long and half a foot wide, and it was carved from top-quality mutton-fat jade.
"Great-uncle, this is?" Tang San asked, puzzled, as he took the box.
Bai He smiled slightly and said, "I obtained this by chance, and it can be considered a family heirloom of the Min Clan. After I got it, I've been keeping it, afraid that Yang Wudi would see it. But since you have remarkable achievements in pharmacology, I'll give it to you."
Tang San carefully opened the jade box, and immediately, a refreshing fragrance emanated from it. Inside the jade box, a ginseng root about a foot long was lying quietly.
This ginseng was blood-red and crystal clear, with a layer of protrusions on the surface that connected to form a pattern resembling a dragon soaring through the nine heavens. He even faintly heard the sound of a dragon's roar.
Crystal Dragon Blood Ginseng, a natural eighth-grade spirit medicine, is only half a grade lower than the ninth-grade ginseng king needed for Xiao Wu's resurrection.
"This… this is too precious. I can't accept it," Tang San swallowed and refused with great difficulty.
Bai He shook his head, "You're not an outsider. I heard your father say you're looking for a ninth-grade ginseng king. I don't have a ginseng king, but this might be a backup. If the ginseng king isn't found, maybe it can be used as a substitute."
Tang Hao said calmly, "Little San, don't refuse a gift from an elder. Just accept it and don't forget this kindness."
"I do need it, so I'll shamelessly accept it. Thank you, Great-uncle," Tang San put it into his Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch.
"Hao'er, I'm here to ask you for a favor," Bai He said to Tang Hao.
"Uncle, just say what you need. Back then, because of my matter, everyone was implicated. If there's anything I can help with, I, Tang Hao, will go through fire and water without hesitation," Tang Hao said solemnly.
Bai He smiled slightly, "It's not that serious. This is my granddaughter, Bai Chenxiang. I want her to follow Little San and gain experience, to let her see the vastness of the world."
Hearing Bai He's request, Tang Hao frowned slightly, hesitated, and said:
"Uncle, it's not that I'm declining, but Little San is going to a very dangerous place next. He might encounter very dangerous enemies, and he can't even guarantee his own safety."
Bai He smiled, "Danger makes the experience more valuable. Xiangxiang's talent isn't bad either. She's very fast. Under normal circumstances, I believe she won't be a burden. Little San just needs to take care of her as much as he can."
"Little San," Tang Hao looked at Tang San, letting him make the decision.
"Then let's go together, but one thing needs to be guaranteed here: you must listen to commands at critical moments and not act rashly. I also have to be responsible for the safety of my companions," Tang San said.
"Okay, Xiangxiang, did you hear that? Follow Little San's lead on the way, and don't be willful at critical moments," Bai He said in a slightly stern tone.
"I know," Bai Chenxiang pouted.
Just then, a white rabbit suddenly rushed out of Tang San's Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch, with the Crystal Dragon Blood Ginseng in its mouth.
With its butt facing Tang San, it sucked the juice from the Crystal Dragon Blood Ginseng in a few mouthfuls and immediately swallowed the dry skin.
After eating, its appearance changed. The golden color at the base of its fur spread at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a moment, Xiao Wu had turned into a golden rabbit.
Then, the gold began to turn red, and finally, it returned to white, but the fur was smoother and more lustrous.
Bai He's eyes widened. Although once something is given away, how it's used is your business, are you just going to feed it to a rabbit in front of me?
He felt his heart bleeding.
Just then, Tang San's soul rings suddenly appeared out of control. The sixth soul ring lit up, and Xiao Wu's phantom appeared in the room.
The phantom flashed and disappeared into the white rabbit's body. The white rabbit quickly grew larger, transforming into a human form.
After turning into a golden figure, it seemed to lack energy and turned back into a rabbit, but the rabbit's eyes seemed much more agile.
"Xiao Wu, is that you? Xiao Wu!" Tang San looked at the white rabbit with affection, his eyes filled with love.
Bai He was slightly stunned, "This is…"
Tang Hao sighed and explained the situation to him, "Alas, Little San encountered the same thing I did back then. He fell in love with a soul beast, but this soul beast sacrificed herself for him."
Bai He's expression darkened, and he shook his head, "What a miserable child."
Bai Chenxiang looked dazed. The fleeting figure just now was breathtakingly beautiful, making her feel inferior. She was saddened by the tragic love between Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu rubbed against Tang San's chest, and then a stream of light flew out of the rabbit's body and returned to Tang San's soul ring.
And the white rabbit returned to its original slightly dull state.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu…" Tang San kept murmuring.
Then, an unprecedented confidence ignited in his eyes. Xiao Wu's performance just now showed that the situation was improving. Her resurrection was promising!
He couldn't wait to go to Seagod Island!
On the roof of a palace in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Amon was leisurely lying on the tiles. He didn't hide his figure, but the guards coming and going below seemed unable to see him.
Amon raised his right hand, took off his glasses, gently wiped them with silk, put them back on his right eye, and muttered:
"As a ray of light before the arrival of the apocalypse, one must always give people some hope… Hmm, I am indeed a kind and gentle good person."
......
In Hanhai City, a man of medium build with black hair and brown eyes, with a clear scholarly air, stood on the dock, watching the sailors unload the freshly caught seafood.
"Captain, it's another great harvest!" The crew member's face was filled with the joy of harvest.
"Yes, in addition to the agreed-upon remuneration, I decided to distribute 10% of this profit as a bonus to everyone," the young man called the captain said with a smile.
"Oh, long live the captain!" The sailors cheered.
"Captain, when will we set sail next time?" A young man wearing short sleeves, revealing strong muscles on his arms, asked.
"What's wrong? Haven't you been complaining that the sea is too boring and missing the soft bodies of the girls in the brothels?" Another person teased.
"But the girls only recognize gold soul coins. Now is the peak fishing season, and we've met a good captain who doesn't exploit people and pays generously, so it's energetic to work!" The young man responded with a smile.
The young captain smiled and said, "Everyone, take a good rest. I will notify you in advance when we set off again. Relaxing and enjoying life is the purpose of our earning money."
"Haha, the captain is right."
A merchant who purchased seafood walked over:
"You are truly a reliable partner. Other peers are very envious of me for having such a trustworthy supplier like you."
"Thank you for your praise, but please settle the bill first. The lads on my ship are already eagerly waiting," the young captain replied.
"Haha, easy to say." The merchant paid the money readily, and then winked at the captain and said, "You're not young anymore, when do you plan to start a family? There are many girls who admire you, Klein."
"Klein" smiled, "I am in the rising stage of my career and will not consider it for the time being. Do you have the contact information of the person in charge of the auction house?
"Some soul master friends are coming recently, and I want to prepare some small gifts for them."
