Chapter 443: Everyone is Progressing
Compared to the weak humans, intermarrying with other demons or nymphs would be less desirable for her, as that could lead to losing control. In comparison, humans would certainly be easier to deal with.
Asura stood up, and Huang Bingbing was instantly awakened and looked up at him. Asura smiled wryly and said, "I flew back all the way, and I\'m a bit tired. I\'ll meditate in the training room for a while. My companions will return tonight. Then I\'ll bring the one with the Ice Nymph Transformation to meet you."
Huang Bingbing nodded. "Alright. Go ahead."
Tang San had rushed all the way back. Despite resting in the Golden Valley, the mental tension from using the Fox Tail Relic to stimulate his divine consciousness had exhausted him.
Entering the training room and feeling the rich spiritual energy inside, Tang San began meditating to restore his energy. He knew that Huang Bingbing needed time to consider his proposal, so he would use this time to let her think it over thoroughly.
As time passed and night fell, Tang San finished his meditation and emerged from the training room. He had received a message that his companions had returned.
"Clan Leader, please wait. I\'ll meet my companions first and bring him over to see you shortly," he said to Huang Bingbing before leaving the room.
Watching his departing figure, Huang Bingbing\'s gaze was somewhat complicated. The Ice Maiden clan leader had been in deep thought for most of the day. Asura’s explanations and analyses were very clear cut, with the most crucial point being the existential threat facing the Ice Maiden clan. In the face of extinction, other problems seemed insignificant.
If the problem could be solved as he suggested, it might be the only way out for the Ice Maidens.
She sighed inwardly, knowing that if she agreed, she would have a lot of work to do when she returned. Getting the entire clan to accept intermarrying with humans would not be easy.
Leaving the room, Tang San went upstairs according to his previous arrangement with his master and arrived at the Demon King-level guest room that Zhang Haoxuan had reserved.
He knocked on the door, and when it opened, he saw that his companions were all there.
Everyone looked tired, but when they saw Tang San, whom they hadn\'t seen for days, they all showed wide smiles.
They didn\'t know what Tang San had been doing during this time, and Zhang Haoxuan hadn\'t told them either. They had been climbing the Sacred Mountains of the emperors to improve themselves. Although it had cost a lot of money, the results were awe-inspiring.
"I\'m back," Tang San said with a smile as he walked forward.
Du Bai couldn\'t wait and rushed over. "Little Tang, where have you been these past days?"
Tang San smiled and said, "I was doing something good! Sister Cheng, your essence blood has been prepared. After we return, we\'ll help you with the bloodline purification, just like senior brother Gu Li."
Cheng Zicheng was stunned at first, then overjoyed. "Really? That\'s great. Long live Little Tang, hehe!"
"What about me, what about me?" Du Bai asked excitedly, jumping with joy.
Tang San said helplessly, "Didn\'t you just have an upgrade? High-level essence blood from the Celestial Fox clan isn\'t easy to obtain!"
"What? None for me?" They all knew Tang San had gone to the grand auction, so hearing there was no Celestial Fox essence blood, Du Bai knew he was out of luck. Even though he had recently upgraded, who would complain about improving their cultivation quickly?
Gu Li mocked him, "You\'re never satisfied; you always want more without putting in the effort yourself."
Du Bai retorted, "Then you shouldn\'t use essence blood either! Let’s see you put in more work then!"
"Alright, stop arguing. Everyone, sit down," Zhang Haoxuan said, coming out from the back room. Seeing his disciples, his smile grew even wider. He thought Tang San\'s early departure that day was very wise. The Fox Tail Relic was obviously a rare treasure, and many fox clans were searching for it afterward. However, the Aetherhorn Merchant Association stated that they were the ones that had purchased it on behalf of someone, and refused to disclose the buyer’s identity. Not because the Merchant Association was particularly righteous, but because the benefits from Tang San\'s "array master" were too significant.
Everyone sat down in the living room. Zhang Haoxuan activated his divine consciousness, setting up an isolation barrier, then nodded to Tang San.
Tang San said, "There were indeed many good items at the Ancestral Court auction. You\'ll find out the specifics when we return to Golden Valley. It\'s beneficial for everyone. Sister Zicheng and brother Gu\'s essence blood issues are resolved, which should be enough until you reach the peak of the ninth order. We\'ll figure out a solution for your ascension to the tenth order in the future. How has your cultivation progress been lately?"
Cheng Zicheng, perhaps too excited by the good news, was the first to speak up. "It\'s going great! I\'ve gained a lot at the Undying Demon Emperor\'s place. The daily burning flames from his Sacred Mountain make my body feel tougher and stronger, and it seems like my bloodline purity is also improving. The only downside is the huge energy drain; I come back exhausted every day. Thankfully, the supplements you gave me help restore my energy. The progress I\'ve made in this period feels like months of training at the academy."
Wu Bingji finally spoke up, "It\'s just a bit expensive."
As he spoke, he looked at Tang San. Although he didn\'t ask like Du Bai, his eyes showed a mix of expectation and slight disappointment. Tang San hadn\'t mentioned finding suitable essence blood for him. Wu Bingji knew his situation; his bloodline purity had somehow allowed him to reach his current level, but it hadn’t been without difficulties. And while he could reach the ninth order, pushing to the peak would be challenging, let alone breaking past it. Furthermore, this bloodline tier wasn\'t high enough to match the future potential of the others. This had always been a concern for him.
Du Bai said, "My level hasn\'t changed since last time, but my control over fortune has improved. I\'ve understood many things that were unclear before and I made progress with the control of fortune and misfortune. I\'ll show you later."
"Good," Tang San nodded. If he had more time, he would gladly spend it on the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain to deeply understand its mysteries. Although the Crystal Demon Emperor was considered the top powerhouse, in his mind, the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor remained the most mysterious.
Whether it was the Celestial Fox Sacred Mountain itself, the Hell Garden, or the gathering of fortune across the entire Daemon Continent and even Falan Planet, it was all inseparable from the mysterious Celestial Fox Demon Emperor, the master of the Ancestral Court.
