139: Requirements of the Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper

Tang Tian said, "Are you sure you aren't mistaken? He has the cultivation of Qi Training Ninth Level, and I am at Lianqi Seventh Level. Can I fight..."

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said, "You were able to kill a Cultivator at Lianqi Seventh Level when you were at Lianqi Fifth Level. I believe you have the strength. There are quite a few Spirit Stones there; at the very least, there are four hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

"Think about it, that's four hundred thousand Spirit Stones; it's enough to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill."

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper tempted Tang Tian.

Actually, this was also what Tang Tian was thinking, but he didn't care about the Spirit Stones; what he cared more about were the bodies of those thousands of Cultivators.

There was no helping it; the Medicine Venerable Space needed them...

But Tang Tian did not kill innocent people. If they were guiltless, Tang Tian would not kill them.

If he killed them, then later when Undergoing Tribulation and the Lightning Tribulation struck down, Tang Tian would have nowhere to cry.

Tang Tian said, "I don't kill innocent people. If they are guiltless, I won't kill them no matter how eloquently you speak."

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said, "Don't refuse. You say they are guiltless? Every place they go, they slaughter it to indulge in their pleasure. You've heard of the ravages of war, right? Those Night Watchmen are exactly that kind of people."

Tang Tian said, "Is what you're saying true? Then haven't these people become Evil Cultivators? The City Lord's Mansion's military discipline isn't that bad, is it?"

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said, "I don't know about the City Lord's Mansion's military discipline, but those Night Watchmen who have come out to act as mountain bandits have worse discipline than mountain bandits. More importantly, they charge too exorbitant a toll."

"Not only is our Auction House dissatisfied, but some Families are also dissatisfied. After you kill those people, we will absolutely not betray you..."

Tang Tian said, "You've strayed from the topic of the City Lord's Mansion's military discipline, haven't you? This is what you really wanted to say..."

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said, "It's all about the same. In Jinque City, not a single Family looks favorably upon the City Lord's Mansion. Their source of Spirit Medicine, and ours, is in the Dense Forest Stone Nest, but the City Lord's Mansion has blocked it off."

"We Foundation Establishment Cultivators will be recorded by the City Lord's Mansion if we go to the deepest part of the Dense Forest Stone Nest, so we don't dare to go. As long as you kill that bunch of Night Watchmen, our future source of Spirit Medicine won't be snatched by the City Lord's Mansion. After this matter is successful, I will sell you as many Foundation Establishment Pills as you want in the future..."

Tang Tian said, "There's a limit to buying Foundation Establishment Pills?"

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said, "Of course. A Cultivator can only buy one Foundation Establishment Pill at an Auction House per year. As long as you resolve this matter, never mind two Foundation Establishment Pills; if you have enough Spirit Stones, I'll sell you ten Foundation Establishment Pills."

Tang Tian said, "Then I'll give it a try, but I'm not going now. I still have many things to do..."

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said, "That doesn't matter. You just need to resolve it within this year. This is the map of the Dense Forest Stone Nest from the outside to the inside."

"After you start killing from the outside, they will start intercepting and killing you from the inside. You have to kill your way through step by step."

Tang Tian said, "What is the exact number of people?"

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said, "There are about four thousand people, and the lowest cultivation is Lianqi Seventh Level."

Tang Tian was speechless and said, "You really believe in me. Four thousand Cultivators, all at Lianqi Seventh Level; it'll be good if I don't run away."

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said, "Hey, Fellow Daoist, I believe in you."

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper had a mysterious confidence in Tang Tian. After all, Tang Tian adhered to the principle of 'if one is guilty, hunt the whole gang,' which made the entire Jinque City talk about him with relish.

And Tang Tian also had a grudge against the City Lord's Mansion. With such a bonus of hatred, wouldn't the killing be even faster...

Tang Tian said, "These things of yours have absolutely no attraction for me. If I go to kill just because you say so, then what would I become? An assassin?"

"Besides, I'll be fine if I avoid the City Lord's Mansion."

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said, "Then what do you want, Fellow Daoist?"

Tang Tian said, "The benefits you're offering are not enough for me..."

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said, "Then what if I say, if you succeed this time, I will give you a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Tang Tian was startled, and with a fervent expression, said, "Are you serious?"

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said, "I swear by my Foundation Establishment cultivation; this is naturally true."

But Tang Tian knew what a Cultivator's oath was worth. Tang Tian looked at him with an 'are you kidding me' expression.

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper laughed awkwardly and said, "Hey, Fellow Daoist, how about I just give you the Foundation Establishment Pill directly?"

Tang Tian didn't hear clearly what the Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper was saying for a moment, and asked, "What are you saying?"

That was a Foundation Establishment Pill. Was the Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper really just going to give it to him like that?

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper took out a box and placed it in front of Tang Tian. After opening it, inside was the Foundation Establishment Pill.

This was Tang Tian's first time seeing a Foundation Establishment Pill, and his breathing stopped. The Foundation Establishment Pill was the size of an egg, just lying there quietly.

Pill patterns appeared on the Foundation Establishment Pill, shaped like clouds and mist, proving that the Cultivator who refined the Foundation Establishment Pill was already a Profound Rank First Grade Alchemist.

Tang Tian said, "You trust me that much? Aren't you afraid that I'll take the Foundation Establishment Pill and run?"

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said, "I certainly trust you. Besides, I am a Foundation Establishment Cultivator; can you run faster than me?"

Tang Tian took a deep breath and said, "I will go and see if those Night Watchmen are truly wicked. If they are not, I will return this Foundation Establishment Pill to you intact."

Then, under the gaze of the Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper, Tang Tian snatched the Foundation Establishment Pill and put it into his storage ring. Even now, Tang Tian still felt a bit unreal...

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said, "That Qi Training Ninth Level Cultivator is quite extraordinary. You must be careful. And as far as I know, he will participate in next year's Martial Examination..."

Tang Tian was stunned. It was a coincidence; he also wanted to participate in the Martial Examination next year. If he couldn't reach Qi Training Ninth Level before the Martial Examination, the Great Scholar wouldn't let him have a tomorrow.

Tang Tian asked, "Shopkeeper, do you think I can participate in the Martial Examination?"

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said very seriously, "I think it's very likely. I have observed you; it only took three months to go from Lianqi Fifth Level to Lianqi Seventh Level."

"I have only seen such a Genius in the second largest city of Great Lin, Tianji City. I even wonder if you have the Bloodline of some great master."

Tang Tian asked, "Why not the first city?"

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said, "Because the first city is too far; I can't go there. However, with your talent, it should be average in the first city."

Tang Tian was shocked after hearing this. He had always thought his Cultivation speed was fast enough, but he didn't expect there to be others even better.

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said, "Otherwise, why do you think I gave you the Foundation Establishment Pill? Because I saw your terrifying talent and am investing in you in advance."

Tang Tian asked, "No need to return it?"

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper said, "No need to return it. It's to build a good relationship. When you reach Golden Core cultivation in the future, just give me a hand."

The Wanbao Pavilion Shopkeeper directly stated the reason for investing in Tang Tian, which left Tang Tian feeling a bit speechless.

Just because he thought you had potential, he invested three hundred thousand Spirit Stones in you; this was too generous...
