7: Take a medicinal bath with magical herbs to refine your body!

He forcefully broke off all the trees in front of him, and these dozens of trees quickly disappeared.

There couldn't be too many; if there were, the Medicine Venerable Space wouldn't be able to hold them.

These trees were only as thick as an arm, but a few dozen were barely enough.

Meanwhile, in the village… the Village Chief shivered from the cold after guarding all night…

Tang Lu said with satisfaction, “It seems Tang Tian is quite trustworthy. No, I need to keep guarding tomorrow.”

The Village Chief sneezed, and remembering that the yamen would send people over today, he called a runner to carefully collect the ripe Spirit Medicine and present them.

Only the unripe ones remained.

Tang Lu said smugly, “Let's see how Tang Tian covets my Spirit Medicine.”

Tang Lu himself went to Tang Zhuang's house, preparing to clean up the blood all over the floor.

As soon as he pushed open Tang Zhuang's door, Tang Lu was stunned:

“No… where did the blood go…?”

Now the sun was out.

Tang Tian yawned; breaking thirty-some trees with his bare hands was a bit tiring.

Now all he lacked was an iron pot, as he couldn't perform Alchemy.

He also didn't dare to directly consume the Spirit Medicine; only as a medicinal bath would the effect be best.

And this pot had to be a large one.

Tang Tian thought somewhat strangely, “At that time, will I be boiling myself?”

As for the pot, he would either take it from Great Aunt's house or from Tang Zhuang's house.

Early in the morning, Tang Tian returned to the village, and the surrounding villagers looked at him with fear.

Seeing these villagers, Tang Tian remembered that Tang Zhuang had stolen his family's silver, and he was determined to get it back.

He would ask the Village Chief later how much the land deed of Tang Zhuang's family was worth in silver taels.

It would also be good to get rich in the county.

After getting money, he would first give ten taels of silver to the Storyteller, as Tang Tian hadn't starved to death and had relied on the Storyteller's occasional relief.

Then he would buy good wine and meat and properly perform a master-apprentice ceremony.

Tang Tian said, “Oh right, I'll also bring Da Huang back. It's eating very poorly at Great Aunt's house. I'll buy a few fat geese, a few acres of barren land… and have others cultivate it for me… I'll also live a good life as a landlord.”

The more Tang Tian thought about it, the more comfortable he felt, but then he thought of Tang Zhuang's family and became unhappy again, saying,

“Oh right, Tang Zhuang's family also has a son in the county… I'll take care of him when I go to the county…”

Unknowingly, he arrived at the Village Chief's house.

Tang Water was startled and asked Tang Tian, “What are you doing here?”

Tang Tian said, “You're here, that's good. Convert Tang Zhuang's land deed into silver for me.”

Tang Water said, “Wait, I'll go call my father.”

Tang Lu was feeling gloomy and was curious why Tang Tian had come again.

Tang Lu muttered, “Is Tang Tian being too greedy?”

He hurried towards Tang Tian and said, “The Spirit Medicine is gone, what else are you here for?”

Tang Tian saw Tang Lu's stingy appearance and inwardly scoffed, “If I didn't have Spirit Fields, that Spirit Medicine wouldn't have any effect even if I ate a hundred stalks. How stingy.”

Tang Tian also stated his purpose, “Since Tang Zhuang's family is dead, I should take back what he stole from my family.”

Tang Lu asked in confusion, “It's already a pigsty, what do you want it for?”

Tang Tian said, “But Tang Zhuang's house isn't a pigsty.”

Only then did Tang Lu realize how greedy Tang Tian was and said, “Go find that land deed yourself.”

Tang Tian said, “Convert it into silver for me. That thing is useless to me.”

Tang Lu looked at Tang Tian with surprise, mainly because he was afraid Tang Tian would also go to the county to block Tang Yuan, and asked, “You don't want land, you want to live in the county? Tang Tian, listen to my advice, the county is not like our countryside. The people in the county devour people without spitting out bones.”

Although Tang Lu didn't speak many sincere words… this was also the truth…

Tang Lu said, “Tang Zhuang's family has fifteen acres of good land, which can be exchanged for one hundred and fifty taels of silver. There is one house, which can be exchanged for fifty taels of silver. I can only give you one hundred and fifty taels.”

“Don't say I'm cheating you, after all, it costs about fifty taels of silver to smooth things over in the county. If you don't want to exchange with me, you can sell it to others.”

One hundred and fifty taels was still acceptable; he just needed to buy a few acres of barren land to cultivate, after all, Tang Tian had the Medicine Venerable Space.

Tang Tian said, “Leave a few acres of Spirit Fields for me.”

Tang Lu said, “Alright.”

Tang Lu instructed, “Tang Water, bring one hundred and fifty taels of silver over.”

Tang Tian was satisfied no matter how he looked, but when he looked at his own son, he felt somewhat displeased.

Tang Tian had watched him grow up, and now his cultivation was the same as his.

Seeing his son dragging his feet, Tang Lu couldn't stand it and kicked him… Tang Water said aggrievedly, “Here…”

Tang Tian took it and left.

Tang Tian first went to the tailor shop to have a set of clothes made, and under the tailor auntie's persuasion, he had three made directly.

He was just being extravagant!

The tailor auntie still wanted to persuade him to make a big red one, but Tang Tian refused, deeming it too high-profile.

He then went to the butcher shop, bought ten catties of good pork, and also bought good wine to find the Storyteller.

The Storyteller was currently telling stories in the tavern, and he had heard a little about the events of the past few days.

Seeing Tang Tian approach, the Storyteller was overjoyed and said, “Everyone, look… this is my good disciple…”

The Storyteller's life was not good; he could only barely make a living. Seeing Tang Tian approach, he stopped telling stories.

Tang Tian respectfully offered the pork and good wine, and under everyone's gaze, he respectfully performed a grand master-apprentice ceremony.

After all, there were several times when Tang Tian was on the verge of starving to death, and it was always the Storyteller who saved him.

Tang Tian presented the ten taels of silver, and the Storyteller stroked his beard happily.

The surrounding Tang Family Village villagers watched with ill intent…

Tang Tian showed off a move, extending his hand and crushing a huge stone table. Everyone was scared upon seeing such strength.

The meaning was, if you touch the Storyteller, you'd better see if your head is hard enough.

Then, Tang Tian rushed to Tang Zhuang's house without stopping.

After all, this house and land belonged to the Village Chief… the things inside couldn't benefit the Village Chief cheaply…

Inside, he found a hunting knife, which felt quite good in his hand.

As for hoes, plows, and the like, he also stuffed them all into the Medicine Venerable Space.

He also found two taels of silver in private money that Tang Zhuang had hidden.

And the rice, flour, firewood, and salt in the room, Tang Tian naturally accepted with a smile.

The large pot for bathing was also found.

After entering, the water could reach his neck, which was also acceptable.

Tang Tian also found a crossbow in Tang Zhuang's house. This was contraband, but there were only three arrows inside.

After he couldn't find anything else… Tang Tian leisurely walked towards the village entrance…

He didn't expect the village entrance to be so lively. The yamen runners impatiently looked at Great Aunt, talking about how her son was.

Seeing Great Aunt's hand about to touch the Spirit Medicine, the yamen runner became angry.

He used the back of his saber to hit Great Aunt's mouth horizontally, sending Great Aunt flying. It was a very tragic sight.

Tang Tian glanced at the yamen runner; the yamen runner gave Tang Tian a very dangerous feeling.

The yamen runner noticed someone watching him, but after realizing it was a child, he didn't think much of it.

The yamen runner said, “I rushed over early in the morning, what matter can the village elders not resolve?! If you don't say something, your entire village's corvée will increase by ten percent!”

The surrounding villagers were all very scared, but the Village Chief was skilled, he chuckled and said,

“Everyone, don't block the official's path. He is a strong practitioner of Lian Qi Second Layer.”

“Didn't the matter concerning the village head already get resolved? Everyone, hurry up and leave…”
