Chapter 96: Tang San Feels Uncomfortable, Heading to the Western Border
For a moment, Tang San couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
This was because, from the start, he hadn't been particularly eager to become Yu Xiaogang's disciple. It was his father, Tang Hao, who had insisted on it.
Tang San had chosen to follow his father's wishes and accepted Yu Xiaogang as his master.
But now, how could a teacher be so greedy for his student's possessions?
And you, aren't you someone who's stuck at a half-level soul power and hasn't even broken through to the Soul Rank? Even if you take a Hundred Herb Pill, do you think that's enough to break through?
Tang San felt a bit speechless.
But he knew this was a case of being an outsider looking in.
He hadn't voluntarily become a disciple, and because of the previous livestream, Tang San already had a label in his heart for Yu Xiaogang—hypocrite, shameless.
Without even seeing Yu Xiaogang's proud knowledge, the teacher was already trying to ask him for favors. Naturally, this made Tang San unhappy.
He felt that it was similar to the way Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall, tried to use him as a tool, just like how Yu Xiaogang, this scum, was trying to get close to him for personal gain.
But when he looked at the Twenty-Four Moonlight Bridges at his waist, Tang San softened a little. He sighed and thought, Forget it. It's fine.
His teacher had given him such a precious storage soul tool.
Anyway, he was already a soul master. There should be more than one Hundred Herb Pill.
If he gave just one to the teacher to try, there should be enough left for Tang San to break through to Soul Rank.
Tang San sighed again, made up his mind, and opened the small porcelain bottle containing the Hundred Herb Pills in front of Yu Xiaogang.
There were exactly six bright green pills inside.
"Teacher, here!"
Tang San took out a Hundred Herb Pill and respectfully handed it to his teacher.
"Xiao San, what are you doing!"
When Yu Xiaogang saw Tang San take out a Hundred Herb Pill and offer it to him, he was taken aback. Despite wanting it, he hastily waved his hand, trying to maintain his image of being a knowledgeable teacher. He said solemnly, "I just want to see the pill. Why are you giving it to me? Even if I take it, it would be far less effective for me than for you."
"Teacher, this Hundred Herb Pill can help a First Rank soul master quickly break through to Soul Grandmaster."
"But I am already a soul master. I don't need a whole bottle of the pills."
"Instead, you've been stuck at Rank 29 for many years. The livestream said that this Hundred Herb Pill can help break through to Soul Grandmaster, so maybe it can help you break through to Rank 30."
Seeing how Yu Xiaogang tried to save face while wanting the pill, Tang San couldn't help but feel disgusted. However, remembering that this was his teacher, he forced himself to remain respectful and said, "Teacher, please, take it."
"..."
Yu Xiaogang hesitated as he looked at Tang San, but his eyes were fixed on the Hundred Herb Pill. It was obvious what was on his mind.
After some more persuasion from Tang San, Yu Xiaogang finally sighed, reluctantly accepting the Hundred Herb Pill.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao, who had been observing the whole process from the side, merely watched coldly. He already understood everything.
Tang Hao wasn't pleased with Yu Xiaogang's desire for the pill. After all, Yu Xiaogang was nothing more than a failure. Even if he managed to break through to Rank 30, what good would that do?
But for his son, Tang San—
Although Tang San was already a soul master, he didn't need the whole bottle of pills to break through.
Still, even after breaking through to Soul Grandmaster, the pill's effect would diminish.
But it could still help his son increase his cultivation speed!
But thinking about it, since Yu Xiaogang was still Tang San's teacher, and Tang San respected him, plus Yu Xiaogang had some real knowledge, Tang Hao decided not to intervene.
However, even after receiving the Hundred Herb Pill from Tang San and consuming it, Yu Xiaogang still couldn't break through to Rank 30.
The reason was simple.
Yu Xiaogang had always been weak, and after his martial soul, Three Cannon Spirit, degraded, he became even weaker!
Even if he were given a Nine-Grade Purple Zhi as in the original story, he still wouldn't be able to break through to Rank 30. He would need a similar-quality immortal-grade herb.
…
Meanwhile, in Notting City—
After the end of the 11th livestream, Lin Yu exited the room and prepared to leave Notting City to head to the western frontier of the Heaven Dou Empire.
According to the information Lin Yu had gathered, the area was infested with wolf bandits, providing an opportunity for him to eliminate some demons and maintain justice!
As usual, Lin Yu instructed his Upward Clear Avatar to stay at Notting Academy.
His main body, however, used the External Spirit Bone - Shendao Pearl to change his appearance and shape, and then flew out of Notting City toward the western frontier of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Lin Yu's appearance now was that of a handsome young man with black hair reaching his waist. He had already thought of his name—Ye Liangchen!
The names Dragon Ao Tian and Ye Liangchen matched perfectly!
Leaving Notting City, Lin Yu used his External Spirit Bone - Wind Thunder Wing and the speed-enhancing technique Swift Water Flowing alternately to hurry along, heading straight for the western frontier of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The western frontier was very far from Notting City.
Although it was also a border area, Notting City was located in the southern part of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the western frontier was far more than a thousand miles away.
A carriage ride from Notting City to the western frontier would take at least a month.
But fortunately, with the External Spirit Bone - Wind Thunder Wing and Swift Water Flowing alternating, and since Lin Yu had reached the level of a Rank 59 Soul King, his Longevity Technique also greatly enhanced his recovery. This allowed him to use the Wind Thunder Wing for extended periods.
So, in less than three days, Lin Yu arrived at the western frontier of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Once there, Lin Yu, exhausted from the journey, decided not to immediately go after the wolf bandits.
He first found a city, rested for the night at an inn, then the next day, ate a hearty meal at a restaurant.
Only after that did he start gathering information about the wolf bandits.
The western frontier, being adjacent to the ocean and not bordering the Star Luo Empire, had little military presence from the Heaven Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire.
This lack of a strong military presence allowed the wolf bandits to congregate there.
Since wolf bandits were a half-human, half-beast species, even though Spirit Hall periodically sent soul masters to suppress them, their skill at hiding in the deep mountains made the efforts mostly ineffective.
A true military presence, like the ones stationed in other regions, would have been far more effective.
But since the western frontier was full of wolf bandits, Lin Yu quickly found out about the whereabouts of a group of them.
