Why wouldn't he take advantage of this?
"Half the empire is a bit much."
Tang Lan laughed.
"If Your Highness can produce other treasures to attract me."
"Like an External Spirit Bone, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, or a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring..."
"Then serving wouldn't be out of the question."
Tang Lan used "Your Highness" here, referring to the Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
After accepting the benefits...
If, in the future, Xue Qinghe became Qian Renxue, then it would be a freebie—he'd even have to avenge Xue Qinghe!
But Qian Renxue didn't hear the subtext.
How could she possibly know that Tang Lan had already seen through her true identity?
She actually started to think seriously.
Tang Lan possessed fire-type soul tools and displayed such a monstrous talent.
As long as he could be won over, he could suppress an entire generation and become a leading figure in the Spirit Hall! Forget about Hu Liena and the Golden Generation.
They should all stand aside.
But don't even think about that External Spirit Bone.
That thing was a rare treasure.
Qian Renxue only knew of one, her own Angelic God Soul Bone set.
This definitely can't be given to Tang Lan.
A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. The Tang Sect Encyclopedia mentions that there are two in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
But!
Even if the Spirit Hall mobilized everything, they'd be hard-pressed to deal with the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.
— After all, that's their territory.
If too many Title Douluo go, it will trigger a beast tide.
Perhaps… Ask Grandpa to step in? That's something to consider.
As for the final Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone… There's actually a lead! She knows that the Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo, of the Worship Hall, has a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring as his ninth soul skill.
Yet, he had never heard of him possessing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!
Perhaps he hadn't absorbed it?
This was normal.
It could be left for descendants or used to break through a bottleneck.
All were possibilities.
'I can write back and have Grandpa ask!'
'I believe after he cultivates the Nine Yang Divine Skill, Grandpa will understand Tang Lan's importance!'
With these thoughts.
Qian Renxue smiled.
"In that case, I'll find a way."
"If I find it, you won't back out, Xiao Lan."
Tang Lan's smile became even more sincere.
"A man, born between heaven and earth, how can he go back on his word and be untrustworthy?"
"Once a word is spoken, it's as good as done!"
Qian Renxue savored these two sentences.
Her gaze at Tang Lan wavered for a moment.
But he quickly steadied his mind.
He couldn't stop praising, "As expected of the great talent who wrote the Tang Sect Encyclopedia, your words flow like a river!"
Tang Lan exchanged a few polite words.
Qian Renxue couldn't wait and quickly left.
Watching Qian Renxue leave.
The corners of Tang Lan's mouth were harder to suppress than a Barrett rifle.
He really looked forward to what kind of benefits Qian Renxue could bring! Sigh! He'd asked for too little just now! A few more Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones would have been nice.
——Anyway, he could use Tang San to farm rewards.
Damn it!
Should I try to bring it up next time?
He pondered.
Tang Lan sent a message to the Blue Silver Grass.
Then, he turned and walked towards the inner courtyard training ground.
Zhao Wuji, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others were all training there.
Zhu Zhuqing seemed to sense something and looked back from afar, spotting Tang Lan.
She instantly transformed into an afterimage, swiftly rushing over and throwing herself into his arms.
Tang Lan quickly embraced her.
He was just thinking, after this ice queen melts, she's actually this passionate?
They hadn't seen each other for only a month, and she was already...
"Quick! Give it to me!" Zhu Zhuqing urged urgently, "Your Nine Yang Divine Skill inner strength!"
Tang Lan: "..."
Alright then!
In the end, he was mistaken.
But seeing Zhu Zhuqing so anxious, Tang Lan didn't hesitate.
The vast Nine Yang Divine Skill inner strength surged into her body.
She stuffed it full.
Zhu Zhuqing, like an octopus, hugged Tang Lan to increase the contact area.
Her body greedily absorbed, and her aura was gradually improving.
This made Oscar and the others, who had been snickering, suddenly realize! Something's wrong! Zhu Zhuqing is about to...
"Crack—"
A faint sound of something breaking echoed.
Zhu Zhuqing's level broke through to level 30! Overjoyed, she kissed Tang Lan on the face.
"Mwah—"
Tang Lan was stunned! So proactive today?
"Huh—" Oscar exclaimed dramatically, "Are we still here? They're already kissing?"
"Bro, you're the best." Tang San gave a thumbs up.
Dai Mubai didn't say anything, a smile playing on his lips as his eyes conveyed a blessing—he'd long since come to terms with it.
But…
"Damn it! Shut up!"
A figure in green dashed forward, glaring at Zhu Zhuqing.
It was Meng Yiran.
She was the person Tang Lan had approved, so there was no need for him to assess her; she'd become an inner disciple as soon as she arrived.
And…
At that time, Meng Yiran made no secret of her feelings, she liked Tang Lan.
She came to the Tang Sect specifically for him.
Seeing this scene... How could she not be angry?
Tang Lan suddenly understood.
No wonder Zhu Zhuqing was suddenly so enthusiastic.
Breaking through her cultivation level was only part of it; she also wanted to assert her claim.
Tang Lan took the opportunity to put his arm around Zhu Zhuqing's waist, facing everyone.
"I'm back," Tang Lan said with a smile. "The Exchange Tournament is in three days. Is everyone ready?"
"Don't worry, Sect Master!" Dai Mubai said confidently.
"I'm already looking forward to it!" Oscar flexed his muscles. "It'll be interesting if they find out that a support-type Soul Master can also fight head-on!"
"Bro! We've got this!"
Everyone patted their chests, indicating they were sure of victory.
At this moment,
Ning Rongrong walked over from a distance, summoned by the Blue Silver Grass's message.
Tang San took out the Feilian Silver Fox Right Leg Bone with one hand.
Instantly!
All eyes were fixed on the soul bone.
"Brother!" Tang San called out, "This isn't the Tiger Eagle Left Arm Bone! A new soul bone?"
Everyone's eyes were shining, eagerly watching Tang Lan.
"That's right." Tang Lan smiled, "This one is a personal reward from Crown Prince Xue Qinghe."
"It comes from a 6,000-year-old Feilian Silver Fox Right Leg Bone, a small soul beast known for its speed."
"The soul bone skill will most likely be something like acceleration or escape, which is suitable for all of you."
"Same rules as before, whoever performs the best in this team competition gets it."
Wow! Another soul bone as a reward?
"Chief is awesome!" Oscar cheered, "If it weren't for you, the Crown Prince wouldn't even look at us, Chief is awesome!!!"
——His Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Serpent Left Leg Bone and this Feilian Silver Fox Right Leg Bone don't conflict, and he can also compete!
He can't compete for the ten thousand year one.
This six-thousand-year one is also fine!
"Uncle Tang is so generous!" Ning Rongrong's eyes also shone: "To take out two Soul Bones in a row, ordinary people wouldn't have such boldness!"
Soul Bones are hard to come by.
When ordinary people encounter them, it's good enough if they don't fight amongst themselves, let alone show any humility?
"Sect Master, I can't wait!" Dai Mubai's fighting spirit was high.
If it was the original Tiger Eagle Left Arm Bone, he only had some hope of competing.
But after all, the competitors were a Tang Blue woman and her brother.
It was a long shot.
Only a feat of epic proportions could possibly turn things around.
But now!
With another soul bone, his hopes had increased!
After all,
As the sect master, Tang San couldn't just give the good stuff to those he favored, could he?
The situation was now this:
Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing were competing for the Tiger Eagle Left Arm Bone.
The others were vying for the Feilian Silver Fox Right Leg Bone.
Compared to the excitement of the others, Tang San and Meng Yiran's expressions were completely different.
Tang San looked a little displeased.
Why does my brother have to bring out all the good stuff to compete?
