Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

When they arrived in Wu Bingji\'s room, Gu Li and Cheng Zicheng had already gotten there first. The faces of everyone present were beaming with joy.

Du Bai rubbed his hands together and said with a chuckle, "Big brother, how much in total? Let\'s split it up. Haha, I can\'t wait."

Wu Bingji laughed and said, "Now that everyone\'s here, let me count it for you."

"We hunted a total of demon beasts, including two Winged Tigers, exactly twenty. Among them, one Seven-stage peak Winged Tiger and one Sixth Stage juvenile Winged Tiger. The rest were Fifth Stage and below. The most valuable parts of a demon beast are the inner core of a Seven-stage monster, followed by its scale armor, hide, tendons, bones, and specific parts that have their own unique characteristics. I won\'t go into the prices of each here."

"The demon beast meat and bones were all taken away by the academy because they were sold directly to the academy, there definitely was a discount. The academy took them off our hands at seventy percent of the market price. If we had dealt with this much demon beast meat ourselves, we actually couldn\'t have gotten the market price either, because it was too much all at once. It was convenient for the academy to take it all, so I agreed to it."

"We kept all the demon beast blood. It will be processed by the academy and then used to strengthen our muscles and bones. Using demon beast blood to temper the body is a rather luxurious cultivation method, but luckily we obtained enough demon beast blood this time. It might take some time to get it ready, but the benefits are all ours in the end."

"The remaining parts were all sold for cash. In total, we made twenty-eight Elemental Coins. Originally it was a little over twenty-seven, but the mayor gave special approval to round it up to twenty-eight. As we said before we set out, we will divide it equally. Everyone gets five Elemental Coins to start with."

While speaking, he took out a bag, gave it a gentle shake in front of everyone, and immediately, Elemental Coins began tumbling out one by one. All twenty-eight Elemental Coins appeared, and the elemental waves within the entire room grew more intense.

Such a lot of money! They had never seen so much money before. These weren\'t Monster Coins or Spirit Rhinoceros Coins, but Elemental Coins! The purchasing power of Elemental Coins was astonishingly high, and in themselves, they were already treasures due to their significant enhancement effect when used during cultivation.

These Elemental Coins were of various attributes, not uniform.

"Everybody pick. I\'ll take all of the ice attribute ones. The rest of you choose, each person takes five first."

The four of them gleefully each took five Elemental Coins.

Attributes weren\'t that important to them, as using Elemental Coins for cultivation was too extravagant a practice for most people to indulge in.

After they had finished dividing them up, three Elemental Coins remained on the table.

Wu Bingji said, "These three Elemental Coins, Tang San, you take them."

"Eh?" Tang San was startled and looked at his senior brother with confusion, "Big brother, you bought something to split among everyone?"

Wu Bingji shook his head and said, "No, these are what you deserve. I believe they won\'t object. On this journey, you were in charge of the entire team\'s command. If it had not been for your command when encountering demon beasts, we probably wouldn\'t have achieved even a third of the hunting results. Don\'t be quick to decline. Moreover, you taught me the throwing arrow technique, and you taught Gu Li and Chengzi the Disorder Splitting Wind. Although we have learned from you, we are also grateful. So don\'t be too polite with us, without your suggestion, this training expedition would not have taken place. Just take them."

"And me, I\'ve also learned from Xiao Tang," Du Bai immediately said. Tang San nudged him before he could mention the \'Purple Demon Eyes\'.

Tang San said, "Then I won\'t stand on ceremony with everyone. If you all agree, I\'ll take it."

In his heart, he was inwardly sighing. Indeed, I have taught you, but in truth, you have no idea what I\'ve gained from you. Such simple children! Actually, you are all part of my nurturing plan. Well, all except for the eldest senior brother.

Eight Elemental Coins were definitely a huge sum for Tang San. Including those obtained from Feng Xiong before, he now felt as if he was wealthy beyond measure.

An Elemental Coin was equivalent to a hundred Spirit Rhinoceros Coins, or ten thousand Monster Coins. Converted into Monster Coins, his total wealth now exceeded one hundred thousand. To say he was rich was no exaggeration.

The group put away their Elemental Coins. Although Tang San took the most, the others had as many as five each, which was the most money they had ever seen. For a moment, all five were beaming with joy.

"When are we going again, Xiao Tang?" Du Bai\'s remark drew everyone\'s gaze to Tang San\'s face.

Indeed, when would they go again? The gains from this adventure had been so tremendous. Not to mention each person\'s five Elemental Coins, the most crucial part was the breakthroughs that Du Bai and Gu Li had achieved. Their advancement had been a major challenge at the academy. And Cheng Zicheng had advanced as well.

This kind of improvement was something they wouldn\'t have dared to imagine before. Bear in mind that both Du Bai and Gu Li were those who felt trapped in a bottleneck for a lifetime. Now, thanks to this opportunity, they had made breakthroughs; although the process was full of dangers, compared to their current gains, they felt as if healed wounds no longer hurt.

What\'s more, the increase in strength also boosted their confidence. If they could keep improving at this rate with more frequent practice, the future held the promise of further progress!

Wu Bingji also directed his gaze at Tang San; he was the only one among the five who hadn\'t advanced this time. Tang San\'s consecutive advancements filled him with envy. Once he advanced again, he would enter the higher ranks. The Seventh Stage was a watershed, and only those above it were considered to have a relatively strong power.

Tang San said, "We can\'t be in a hurry to achieve success. Our gains this time are indeed significant, and the brothers and sisters have all advanced. But in reality, your advancements aren\'t just a result of this adventure. It\'s more due to your prior accumulation. You three have been stuck at a bottleneck for some time and utilized this opportunity for a breakthrough. In cultivation, in addition to external stimuli and potential activation, accumulation is also very important. What we need to do first is to digest our gains. Once we\'ve done that, we can think about the next time."

Wu Bingji nodded, "Xiao Tang makes sense. We gained a lot this time, and you have all just broken through. It\'s better to stabilize ourselves first before considering the next outing. I heard Teacher Guan say there might be an organization of other students for training in the mountains, but we won\'t be included. The teachers also prefer us to accumulate more experience first."

Du Bai and Gu Li were clearly disappointed but didn\'t argue.

Tang San smiled and said, "How about this? Let\'s set a standard. Senior Brother Gu Li, you should at least train the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique to succeed within eighteen attacks. Sister Chengzi, you have to be able to continuously complete three rounds of the Nine Revolutions Golden Wing Splitting Wind Slash. Brother Du Bai, you need to master the method for cultivating spiritual power that I taught you and be able to apply it at a basic level. Once we\'ve achieved these goals, we can consider going out for practice. How does that sound?"

"No problem," Gu Li said without hesitation, and then his eyes shifted. "Xiao Tang, what method of cultivating spiritual power did you teach Du Bai? Can I learn it too?" He knew his Time Variation Seal also required strong spiritual power as a backing.

After thinking for a moment, Tang San said, "It might not work. This cultivation method requires one to be a pure spiritual power wielder. Even Brother Du Bai hasn\'t succeeded in trying it yet. Your Time Variation Seal has just advanced, so it\'s better not to try it. I\'m worried about adverse effects."

Gu Li, looking somewhat disappointed, said, "Alright then, I\'ll focus on Disorder Splitting Wind first. Once I\'ve mastered it, I\'ll deal with that little brat Zhang Zebin. Hehehe."
