Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 218: Finding A Place for the Eighteen Crimson Fox Girls

These two Demonic God Transformations were just like the twin martial spirits Tang San had in his previous life!

To gain Mei Gongzi's trust and reduce her sense of danger, Tang San had used four abilities—the Discerning Eye of Heaven, Time Freeze, Blue Silver Emperor, and Leopard Flash. Once she calmed down, she could draw her own conclusions.

Assassinating the Titan Bear must be related to her grand scheme. This is the first target, but definitely not the last. In any case, regardless of what Mei Gongzi did, Tang San needed to cooperate, filling in the gaps for her. As long as the opponent wasn’t at the god level, relying on the Godly Zhuge Crossbow combined with their powerful bloodline abilities, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

This night has genuinely been fascinating.

Returning to the academy town, Tang San didn't rush back to Redemption Society but instead went to Zhang Haoxuan's residence. He knocked on the door a few times.

"Master, it's me."

"Come in," came Zhang Haoxuan's voice from inside the room.

Tang San pushed the door open and entered.

Zhang Haoxuan was dressed in simple leisure clothes, and he seemed to have been cultivating earlier, judging from the strong fluctuations of his aura.

"It's not easy to see you these days! Do you often go out at night?" Zhang Haoxuan asked, somewhat displeased.

Tang San nodded, saying, "Sometimes, I go to Kali Academy to cultivate. As you know, the spiritual energy there is richer, making cultivation more effective."

"You go to Kali Academy at night? How do you get in?" Zhang Haoxuan asked, surprised.

Tang San shrugged. "I cracked their alarm array."

Hearing him speak so casually, Zhang Haoxuan couldn't help but inhale sharply, "I've been meaning to ask, is your study of arrays also from the Mysterious Heaven Record? But I didn't see it in the notes you gave me!"

Tang San's mouth twitched slightly as he said, "This part of the information was too important, so I didn't write it down for you. It is indeed recorded in the Mysterious Heaven Record."

He could only explain it this way.

Zhang Haoxuan looked at him intently, not speaking for a long time.

Tang San said helplessly, "Master, why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhang Haoxuan exhaled deeply, "Now, I don't know if I am your master or you are mine. It seems as if there’s nothing you can’t do. You effortlessly killed the Demon Scorpion. And the things you bid on, apart from the Purple Sun Fruit... I haven’t figured out the purpose of the others. You say that everything you do is for the sake of humanity. However, the mystery surrounding you makes me uneasy."

Indeed, the more Zhang Haoxuan saw from Tang San, the more uneasy he became.

Tang San said, "Master, I haven't concealed much from you. Indeed, many of the abilities I have shown are inexplicable to you, but please believe me, everything I do is for humanity."

"I do believe you. Otherwise, do you think I would indulge you this much?" Zhang Haoxuan said, somewhat gruffly.

Tang San smiled. "Since you trust me, there's no need for further questions. Have you tried to break through using the Purple Sun Fruit?"

Zhang Haoxuan shook his head, saying, "I'm not confident enough yet. Moreover, breaking through to the tenth tier is a big deal and it can't be done here, or I will be discovered. I'll wait until I've accumulated more cultivation. Now, tell me, what brings you here?"

Tang San said, "We need to make arrangements for those eighteen girls from the Crimson Fox clan."

Zhang Haoxuan looked at him and asked, "How do you plan to arrange their stay? They are human slaves, not demons."

"Their bloodline power is very weak and we can’t enhance it the normal way. I want to see if I can stimulate their bloodline and help them increase their power. They could be great helpers in the future."

"Stimulate their bloodline?" Zhang Haoxuan shivered at the thought. He naturally knew how important this was.

The demon clan's bloodline powers were not fixed. Through specific opportunities and cultivation, they could keep enhancing and strengthening their bloodlines, which could be seen as a process of bloodline evolution.

Tang San saying that he could stimulate bloodlines was an extraordinary promise. But how could this be achieved?

The biggest source of trouble for human-demon hybrids in their cultivation process was the issue of bloodline strength. The strength of the bloodline was the hard ceiling of their power; if it wasn’t strong enough, they simply could not advance to higher levels.

Tang San explained, "The strength of a bloodline is not only related to its density, but also to some other factors. For example, Du Bai's Celestial Fox Vision is closely linked to spiritual power. His breakthrough from third to fourth order wasn't because his bloodline strength increased but because his spiritual power did. It stimulated his bloodline, which led to the breakthrough. For most Demonic God Transformations, it seems that life force is the thing that can drive bloodline power higher. So if we provide substantial life force to these girls, their bloodline power might be stimulated, which would allow it to awaken and evolve."

"Alright, but how do we give them life energy? And would that life energy also be useful to us?" Zhang Haoxuan asked.

Tang San replied, "I am fairly confident it will be useful for those below the god level. For those in the levels above, I’m not sure."

"How can you do that?" Zhang Haoxuan asked incredulously, knowing that enhancing the life force of someone was an extraordinary feat.

Tang San smiled. "You just said you’re not sure what I’m planning to do with some of the things I got at the auction. Well, that’s where the Golden Wood comes in!"

"Hmm?" Zhang Haoxuan was startled.

"Master, I'll need to trouble you. Find a safe place in the Kali Mountains, somewhere with a rich life force, and arrange a place for those girls to stay. Let’s keep it between the two of us for now. It must be a place that demons or demonic beasts don't usually pass through. The more hidden, the better. Then, just wait and see."

Zhang Haoxuan said, "That won't be difficult. The Kali Mountains are vast, and there are many secluded places. Do you plan to settle them there?"

Tang San nodded. "It will also serve as a safehouse for our Redemption Society."

"Alright, that's good. Is there anything else you need?" Zhang Haoxuan asked.

Tang San shook his head. "Nothing else. Once you find a suitable place and settle them down, just let me know."

"Okay."

"Master, you should rest early. I'll head back now," Tang San said with a smile.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "Don't rush off; I was actually thinking of looking for you anyway. If I get you the materials, can you make more of those Godly Zhuge Crossbows you made last time?"

Tang San nodded. "I can make them. But if they are exposed, it’s going to be really troublesome."

Zhang Haoxuan said solemnly, "But they’re really powerful. I've tried them. The stronger the Demonic God Transformation used to operate them, the better the effect."

"I am pretty sure they only work on enemies below the god level. Those above can handle the attack," Tang San emphasized.

Today, Mei Gongzi's stealth attack on the Titan Bear demon had already proved the power of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow. If not for the crossbow's formation integrating the spatial power of the Peacock demon clan, how could it have broken through the Titan Bear's defense so easily? The bolts were basically teleporting, making them unavoidable.

Zhang Haoxuan, being in the ninth order, definitely produced astonishing power when infusing his fire attribute into the crossbow bolts. However, dark gold feared fire, so if Zhang Haoxuan used it, the probability of damaging the crossbow would significantly increase.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "I want you to make some, not necessarily for immediate use. We can keep them for now just in case. If the academy faces a crisis in the future, we can use them then."
