“Thanks to Young Master, he gave me more than a hundred pills yesterday, instructing me to distribute them among the guards. He said these pills are the best among the second-tier ones. I didn’t believe it at first, but after just one night, everyone broke through. I, too, broke past my previous limits and advanced to the Fourth Rank of the Yellow Realm,” Mo Yan Jun said, his voice filled with excitement.
“One hundred pills to help everyone advance to the Yellow Realm!” Tang Laozi felt numb all over.
To achieve such effects, the pills would have to be at least second-tier mid-grade. A single pill like that would cost no less than forty to fifty thousand silver coins in the market. And with more than a hundred pills, that’s millions of silver coins! Even the Tang family, no matter how wealthy, would feel the sting from such a large sum.
Instantly, Tang Laozi’s thoughts turned to Tang Yan’s mysterious master.
“Old Master, according to the Young Master’s calculations, with the 120 guards, their monthly salary would now be 24,000 silver coins,” Mo Yan Jun said, his tone more cautious.
Tang Laozi remembered the rewards Tang Yan had set up for the guards when they were training. At the time, he hadn’t thought it would progress so quickly. Now he realized how wrong he was.
The Tang family could still afford the extra 24,000 silver coins per month for now. But once the guards advanced to the second, third, or even fourth ranks of the Yellow Realm, or perhaps to the Xuan Realm, the Tang family’s daily expenditure would escalate to an astronomical amount.
However, Tang Laozi didn’t mind having so many experts. He was more than happy if the Tang family’s guards were all at the Heavenly Realm. With a wave of his hand, he said, “This is nothing. With these guards, the Tang family will remain invincible and create even more wealth. The reward system that Little Yan set up before should be followed through.”
After spending half an hour in the training ground, Tang Laozi walked outside, his mood impossible to describe, as if he were floating.
One hundred Yellow Realm experts! How much combat strength had the Tang family gained overnight?
Lost in his thoughts, Tang Laozi looked up and realized he was heading toward his grandson’s residence. It had been a while since he had spoken to Tang Yan, so he decided to go visit him.
----------------------------------------
At Tang Yan’s courtyard, Xiao Cui and Purple Yun were sitting on two wicker chairs, watching Tang Yan practice while chatting.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Purple Yun was born beautiful, with an extraordinary aura, exuding a natural nobility. This made Xiao Cui very shy at first, but Purple Yun’s gentle and unassuming way of chatting soon brought them closer.
Women’s conversations, when sparked by one person, could flow endlessly. Before long, Purple Yun had learned nearly everything about Tang Yan’s background.
But the more Purple Yun learned, the more her brows furrowed.
Although it was her first time meeting Tang Yan yesterday, his decisiveness and precision in battle had impressed her. Such judgment and skill could never be achieved without intense study and practice.
On the other hand, Xiao Cui described Tang Yan as a carefree, lazy playboy who had only recently changed in the past month.
As the eldest daughter of Purple Bamboo City, Purple Yun had excellent judgment. She was sure Xiao Cui, with her innocent demeanor, was telling the truth.
With these thoughts in mind, Purple Yun’s curiosity about Tang Yan grew. A man who could deceive a servant who had been by his side for more than ten years—what kind of monster was he?
Her gaze landed on Tang Yan, who was currently practicing six odd moves in the courtyard.
Each movement had a wide range, and the awkwardness of the postures made Purple Yun wonder if Tang Yan would twist himself into a knot if he exerted more force.
The six moves were not only strange but also linked in a cycle. After completing the sixth move, he would return to the beginning and repeat the process.
Although Purple Yun considered herself a top-tier expert at the Heavenly Realm, she realized that if she tried to imitate Tang Yan’s movements, it wouldn’t be as easy as it seemed. What were these six moves?
Tang Yan wasn’t concerned with Purple Yun’s thoughts. These six moves were the Extreme Six Techniques he had created in his past life.
Each move was the absolute limit of what the human body could endure. Humans had vast potential, and the goal was to push each move to its extreme without harming oneself. Every move used several principles, and each required maximum effort.
This intense training would drain Tang Yan’s true energy completely within half an hour.
At that point, he would take a pill and restore himself to peak condition.
The continuous cycle of draining and refilling his energy allowed for rapid cultivation improvement.
While effective, very few could sustain these moves, and even fewer could master them. Furthermore, Tang Yan would never easily share such a valuable technique.
“Ugh, I’m so tired!” After repeating the moves three times, Tang Yan finally stopped. His clothes were drenched in sweat.
“You two, move aside, I’m going to shower and change,” Tang Yan said with a yawn, pointing toward the door.
“Why not change in your room?” Purple Yun shot him a look.
“The water is right here, I’ll rinse off and change here. This is my house; you just follow my lead,” Tang Yan said lazily.
“Fine, you want to change in front of me? Go ahead, show me,” Purple Yun huffed, not believing Tang Yan would actually do it.
However, she underestimated Tang Yan’s boldness. With a swish, he was down to just his underwear.
“Ah!” Purple Yun yelped, frozen in place.
“Haha, I told you to move, but you didn’t listen. Now you have no choice but to run away,” Tang Yan grinned mischievously, picking up a wooden bucket to rinse off his sweat. Just then, the door was kicked open with a loud bang.
“Yan’er, oh?” Tang Laozi rushed in, and froze in shock when he saw his grandson standing in his underwear in the courtyard, with a beautiful woman nearby. What on earth was going on here?
