76: The medicine shop is open for sale

The Disciple in the crimson clothes said, "We originally thought you were as petty as Tang Yuan, but we didn't expect you to be so generous.

"Come, Junior Brother, take this copybook of my Sound and Rhythm Primer to study."

With that, he handed his Sound and Rhythm Primer copybook to Tang Tian.

This copybook was not cheap; it was worth three thousand Spirit Stones at the government's trading house.

Tang Tian said, "Thank you, Senior Brothers."

Tang Tian thought to himself, "This is the benefit of joining the academy. I wonder if joining a Sect would be even better."

Tang Tian picked up the Sound and Rhythm Primer and began to study it.

The Disciple in the crimson clothes said, "My name is Ding Mo, Junior Brother, no need to be polite."

The remaining three academy Disciples also accepted Tang Tian, saying,

"My name is Lu Mei, I am the Senior Brother of the academy, Lianqi Sixth Level, Fourth Level Literary Qi."

"My name is Ning Bi, I am the Second Senior Brother of the academy, Lianqi Sixth Level, Third Level Literary Qi."

"My name is Ye Fan, I am the Third Junior Brother of the academy, Lianqi Fifth Level, Second Level Literary Qi."

Tang Tian also introduced himself to them, saying, "I am Tang Tian, pleased to meet all Senior Brothers."

When Tang Tian heard the Third Junior Brother Ye Fan say his name, he always felt there was something extraordinary about this person, and he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Tang Tian thought to himself, "Nothing out of the ordinary."

After the pleasantries, they immediately began to Cultivate the Earthly Fiend Fist.

Tang Tian did not tell them that Cultivating the Earthly Fiend Fist required a large amount of Spirit Medicine.

He wanted to see what the talent of these official Families was like.

Tang Tian was not in a hurry and began to read the Sound and Rhythm Primer, softly reciting, "Clouds against rain."

Tang Tian thought to himself, "This thing is indeed extraordinary; vigorous Literary Qi seems to overflow from my chest."

Unfortunately, Tang Tian's Literary Qi was unknown, otherwise, he could now emit the Qi of clouds and rain.

If he Cultivated long enough and understood the Sound and Rhythm Primer thoroughly, he could conjure clouds and rain out of thin air.

Tang Tian said in surprise, "This Literary Qi is truly wonderful..."

Tang Tian sighed inwardly, "I finally understand why the Village Chief was afraid of the Great Master. It's my luck to be able to enter here. I seem to have Tang Yuan to thank."

Tang Tian only comprehended for one hour.

Those Senior and Junior Brothers then successively solidified Evil Qi.

Tang Tian nodded and said, "This talent is not bad."

The Evil Qi of these few people was pure white and transparent, and it even contained Literary Qi!

Tang Tian was shocked and said, "Could it be that Evil Qi can also contain Literary Qi!"

Lu Mei said, "Junior Brother, you flatter us. In terms of talent, there are many better ones in the entire Jinque City. Yes, Evil Qi can indeed contain Literary Qi.

"Unfortunately, this Evil Qi Cultivation requires Medicinal Pills."

Lu Mei sensed the Earthly Fiend Fist's craving for spiritual power and Spirit Medicine. Lu Mei was indeed somewhat extraordinary.

Ning Bi said, "Exactly. I didn't expect that what seemed like an evil and fiendish method would have such wonderful uses. It can indeed be given to our Family members to Cultivate."

Ding Mo also praised it, but only Ye Fan had a worried expression, because he hadn't Cultivated it yet.

Lu Mei said, "Junior Brother Ye, don't worry, just calm your mind."

Ye Fan said with a bitter smile, "My Family has suffered such misfortune, my father was exiled, my mother passed away, and my Family is ruined. It's hard to calm my mind, let alone Cultivating Evil Qi requires a large amount of Medicinal Pills.

"If I can't pass this county examination, how can I clear my father's name..."

Ding Mo comforted Ye Fan, saying, "Senior Brother Ye, don't be sad. In this world, there is a saying about literary bones. If one can obtain Literary Qi, whether it's Cultivating Evil Qi or Cultivating Literary Qi, it will all come naturally."

The other three all sighed; how could literary bones be so easy to obtain?

Lu Mei said, "It seems we still need to buy Medicinal Pills that can enhance Evil Qi. How about we go to the Yu Family later to take a look? I heard that the Yu Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivator is an Alchemy Great Master.

"At that time, Junior Brother Ye, I will share some with you."

Upon hearing this, Tang Tian was displeased and thought to himself, "What? The Yu Family wants to steal my business!"

Tang Tian quickly said, "Senior Brothers, why bother? I am also a member of the Yu Family and can also perform Alchemy. I happen to have such Medicinal Pills here.

"However, the Materials are used up. I will bring them to you tomorrow."

Tang Tian was still afraid that Lu Mei and the others wouldn't believe him, so he released a wisp of Evil Qi, which was indeed stronger than the Evil Qi condensed by the three of them.

Lu Mei praised, "Junior Brother's Evil Qi is indeed extraordinary, and it is indeed stronger than ours. What is the price of those Medicinal Pills?"

Tang Tian said, "This Earthly Fiend Fist was given to me by the Yu Family. As for the price of those Medicinal Pills, five...?

Tang Tian said somewhat uncertainly.

Lu Mei said, "Good! Junior Brother, give me two hundred!"

Ning Bi said, "Good! Junior Brother, give me two hundred too!"

Ye Fan said with a bitter smile, "Junior Brother, give me one hundred."

Tang Tian was stunned and thought to himself, "Could it be... I quoted too low."

Lu Mei said, "Junior Brother Ye, I'll pay for your hundred."

Then Ding Mo also asked for two hundred.

Tang Tian calculated and was shocked, thinking, "Three thousand five hundred Spirit Stones!"

This was much more profitable than selling Spiritual Plants.

Tang Tian sighed, "No wonder Shopkeeper Yunshui Pavilion wanted to buy a thousand Spiritual Plants. It turns out there's real profit to be made. If they add some inferior Medicinal Materials, they'll make a fortune..."

Of course, since Lu Mei and the others had recognized Tang Tian, Tang Tian would not cheat them.

Moreover, when selling Medicinal Pills, reputation is paramount, so Tang Tian intended to establish a good reputation.

Tang Tian said, "Senior Brothers, rest assured, they will be in your hands tomorrow."

Seeing how much importance these people placed on the Earthly Fiend Fist, Tang Tian realized that he had somewhat underestimated the Earthly Fiend Fist.

Lu Mei was very talented; by evening, he had condensed two wisps of Evil Qi.

As for Ye Fan, he finally solidified his first wisp.

Tang Tian understood the others' progress on this point, after all, when he didn't use Spirit Medicine, his solidification was also very slow.

When the Great Master returned in the evening, all the Disciples bowed and said, "Welcome back, Master."

The Great Master said, "Today's lessons are over. You may all return. Tang Tian, stay for a moment."

Tang Tian was a bit speechless, thinking, "Isn't this Literary Qi something that can only be Cultivated by oneself? I feel this Great Master doesn't have any major issues, aside from necessary guidance."

Tang Tian was somewhat puzzled. After the four Disciples left,

The Great Master picked up a scroll and was reading it, saying, "That Body Refinement Cultivator is you, isn't it?"

Seeing Tang Tian not react, the Great Master said, "The one who destroyed the Yuanjia Gang."

Tang Tian's heart trembled, and he said, "This Disciple also had no choice."

Truly, a Qi Cultivator has absolutely no privacy in front of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator...

The Great Master said, "This matter is not very big, but you have offended the City Lord's Mansion, and they will inevitably retaliate.

"In the future, be cautious when using the Earthly Fiend Fist outside."

Tang Tian said, "This Disciple understands."

Tang Tian thought to himself, "This Great Master is actually quite good."

He had still thought that the Great Master would directly expel him from the academy.

The Great Master said, "However, you will not be able to participate in the imperial examinations in the future. The City Lord's Mansion has extraordinary means; even Foundation Establishment Cultivators are firmly suppressed by them.

"In the future, you can only become an official through the Martial Examination..."
