NOVEL NEXT Chapter 104: Chapter 104
"Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus, Torrential Pear Blossom Needles!" Tang San was stunned. Jun Tianlin certainly had a big appetite.
Things like the Silent Sleeve Arrow and Zhuge Divine Crossbow were just basic hidden weapons. Even if they were given out they wouldn't affect the Tang Sect's core foundation. But the Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus was different—those were the real treasures of the sect.
Fortunately, Jun Tianlin was asking for the finished product, meaning the most important thing—the production drawings—remained in Tang San's hands.
"Brother Jun, you don't know that the production process for the Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus is incredibly complicated, and the materials required are extremely precious. In my current situation, I can't make it" Tang San said truthfully.
"This is the cooperation I mentioned earlier" Jun Tianlin smiled "Do you know why the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan is called the richest Clan?"
"Of course, it's because the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower's world-renowned auxiliary capabilities have attracted countless affiliated families to join, allowing everyone to develop together, which is why your clan's economy is so prosperous" Tang San complimented, which was an important factor but not the whole truth.
Jun Tianlin shook his head "Brother Tang, what you said is just the external factor. Besides the strong auxiliary capabilities, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda also possesses extraordinary treasure appraisal skills, and many precious minerals can't escape its attention."
"For instance, blue crystal ore, dragon bones, titanium metal, deep-sea silver, and more. I believe our clan has some of these materials."
"You're serious?" Tang San's eyes lit up. The materials Jun Tianlin mentioned were all crucial for making top-grade hidden weapons. If he could get them and with his Clear Sky Hammer, then he might be able to recreate the Tang Sect's most powerful hidden weapons.
"Of course, I'm serious" Jun Tianlin affirmed "So here's my proposal: you sell me the blueprints for those basic hidden weapons, and we'll handle the production. In the future, you focus on researching advanced hidden weapons while we provide the materials. The condition is that if you develop the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus or the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle in the future, the first one must go to our Clan."
"This would be a win-win situation for both of us. Our clan's direct disciples can gain combat power through hidden weapons, and you can use my clan's resources to develop the Tang Sect. For any force to grow, they need money. And fortunately, money is the least valuable thing to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan!"
Jun Tianlin's comment about money being worthless was somewhat arrogant, but he was right. The cooperation would indeed be highly beneficial to both clans.
Tang San, unaware of his identity as a disciple of the Haotian Clan and still believing his father was a humble blacksmith felt a strong sense of responsibility towards the Tang Sect. After learning from Jun Tianlin that he hadn't been expelled, his commitment to the Tang Sect grew even stronger.
Right now, what he needed most was money and precious metals and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan had both.
Tang San didn't hesitate "Alright, no problem, Brother Jun. Give me one night, and I'll present the hidden weapon blueprints to you. But I ask that you promise not to leak them to other clans or sects, including your allied Clan."
"Of course, I promise not to share them with anyone. Let's have a successful cooperation!" Jun Tianlin said, handing him a gold soul coin card worth one million. He had asked Ning Fengzhi for it earlier before arriving.
Ning Fengzhi trusted Jun Tianlin deeply and handed him the card without asking any questions. But Jun Tianlin didn't spend the money recklessly—he was confident that what he bought would bring value to Ning Fengzhi in the end.
Tang San didn't take the card immediately. The proper way was to exchange the blueprints for the money, so he wanted to wait until the next day. But Xiao Wu, quick on her feet and grabbed the gold card first.
Tang San was about to speak, but Xiao Wu interrupted "Why, brother, can't I take care of your money?"
"Okay, okay, just don't spend it recklessly!" Tang San said, a little embarrassed
"Haha, the bond between you two 'siblings' is really strong. Everything went smoothly today. I'm in a good mood, so I have another gift for you" Jun Tianlin said, taking out two medicine bottles from his robes and handing them to Tang San and Xiao Wu.
"Tang San, this is the Xuanyuan Pill, an elixir to assist in cultivation. You can use it to help you break through level 30. Xiao Wu, and this is the Lianxi Pill. It will temporarily hide your aura, so no one can detect your presence, not even a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast or a Soul Douluo."
Jun Tianlin spoke lightly, and Tang San, after hearing it, was grateful. The Xuanyuan Pill was helpful for breaking through level 30, which was a good elixir. But Xiao Wu's mind was racing.
Why would he say such things to her? Did he know she was the incarnation of a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast? But she dismissed the thought. He couldn't have discovered it—if he had, he wouldn't have been so generous.
"Thank you. Seeing how understanding you are, if you ever need anything in the future, Sister Xiao Wu will protect you!" Xiao Wu said, patting Jun Tianlin on the shoulder like a mischievous girl leader.
Who's protecting whom here? Jun Tianlin thought. If he wasn't uninterested in Xiao Wu's spirit rings and bones for now, he would've told his master and Ning Fengzhi to capture her right away when they were at Notting Junior College.
Tang Hao, who had been expelled from the sect and severely injured, wasn't much of a threat to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan and the temptation of a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit ring and soul bone was far greater than any fear.
What they didn't know was that Jun Tianlin didn't have good intentions when he gave them the elixirs. The Xuanyuan Pill was a fake—it seemed luxurious, emitting fragrance, but its actual effect was negligible. It would cause Tang San more harm than good, especially as he approached level 30, a critical stage in his cultivation.
The Breath-Lianping Pill was an even worse trap. And soon, Tang San would lose one of his greatest opportunities because of it.
