470: 470: Ancient City [Fourth Watch] 470: 470: Ancient City [Fourth Watch] After leaving the temple, the cultivators brought Tang Feng to a city within the Grotto Heaven.
This city was one of the largest that Tang Feng had ever seen on Earth.
Ancient City!
Just two words, yet they conveyed an overwhelming sense of age; Tang Feng needed only a glance to approximate the city’s age.
Over a hundred thousand years.
The people sealed here might have been for more than a hundred thousand years.
These cultivators lived and grew up here, but it was unknown if any had broken free from their shackles.
Only after entering the city did he realize it was not much different from the Cultivation World of his previous life, with the sa types of shops and people.
If he wasn’t mistaken, there should also be family clans present.
“How many families are there in this city?
Which is the largest?” Tang Feng asked.
“Replying to Master, there are four families, with the Yu Lan Family being the largest.”
The surna Yu Lan?
This was the first ti Tang Feng had heard such a surna.
“You may move freely now.
There’s no need to follow for the ti being.
I will notify you if needed,” Tang Feng said.
“Thank you, Master.” They needed to report back to their Sect’s garrison, and without Tang Feng’s permission, they had no other choice.
Sang Xi was very curious; this place maintained the most ancient elents, which she wanted to explore thoroughly.
Tang Feng naturally accompanied her; having a clone would have been convenient.
Truth be told, now the ntion of a woman wanting to go shopping gave him so trepidation.
Regardless of whether he was willing or not, Tang Feng had to follow.
Considering she had waited for him for so many days, he was resigned to keep her company.
Their stroll lasted half a day.
Fortunately, Sang Xi found items she liked, and then the rest was about enjoying delicious food.
The two entered every shop they ca across and indulged in a big al before leaving.
At night, they found an inn and got a good night’s sleep.
The next day, they toured the entire city, casually observing and quickly familiarizing themselves with the area.
As Tang Feng and Sang Xi reached the entrance of a dical Hall, they saw a woman being driven out, cradling a child in her arms.
“Manager, please have rcy and save my child,” she pleaded.
“My dear lady, it’s already too late.
Go ho and make arrangents for the aftermath,” an old Pharmacist from the dical Hall said helplessly with a shake of his head.
“No, no, that’s not true.
The child was just talking to ,” the woman knelt on the ground, fervently kowtowing.
“Sigh!
I truly cannot help.
If you don’t believe , you can try other dical Halls,” the elder said, wary of this kind of pestering.
In case it backfired on him, he could neither bear the consequences nor shoulder the responsibility.
Despair took hold of the woman as she rose to her feet, her spirit teetering on the brink of collapse.
Tang Feng felt a stir of compassion.
“Madam, may I have a look at your child?” he asked.
“Yes, you may.” It was the woman’s last hope; if he couldn’t help, she no longer wished to live, though she was prepared for the worst.
With Tang Feng’s intervention, the child was soon out of danger.
He carried the child to the base of a tree and began to apply acupuncture.
Now, his skills were at their peak.
After five needles, the child’s breathing not only stabilized but they also regained consciousness.
The woman, overjoyed and thankful, left with her child after profusely expressing her gratitude.
The old Doctor from the dical Hall approached them.
“Young friend, please co to the dical Hall for a visit.”
“Sorry, I don’t have ti,” Tang Feng responded, dismissing the suggestion outright.
“Young friend, this old man sincerely seeks your guidance.
I hope you’ll oblige,” the persistent elder seed unwilling to let Tang Feng leave.
“Move aside,” Tang Feng said with displeasure; he had a strong aversion to being coerced like this.
Realizing that Tang Feng ant business, the old man dared not persist and stepped aside.
After watching Tang Feng walk away, he grew contemplative and sent soone to follow him.
How does the saying go?
A thief’s nature never changes.
The tracker was dealt with directly, silently and without a trace.
Tang Feng simply bought a place here and then built a hall; everyone moved in, including the twelve people he had subjugated, who all got their own dwelling.
During a al, Tang Feng called everyone together, “I’ve decided to leave two people behind, you all discuss amongst yourselves who will stay.”
“My Lord, we are willing to stay.” Two people stood up.
“Very well, tomorrow I will open the Dan Pavilion and then entrust you with its managent, as for the staff, you will find them on your own,” Tang Feng declared.
“Yes, My Lord.”
“Do not disappoint , do well, and I have the ability to help you smoothly enter the Heavenly Destiny Realm,” Tang Feng spoke.
“Thank you, My Lord.” The twelve people were excited; as elder-level experts from various sects, they no longer had many aspirations in life, only the desire to break through to the Heavenly Destiny Realm.
As their lifespan dwindled, this hope beca more and more dim, but today they heard they could be promoted, so how could they not be overjoyed?
They did not doubt Tang Feng’s words in the slightest.
Having pledged allegiance to him, even if he ordered them to die, they would not hesitate for an instant.
After the al, Tang Feng started arranging the counters and placing Elixirs, while Sang Xi helped with the setup.
The twelve subordinates were also busy, doing whatever they were capable of.
The next day, the Dan Pavilion opened, with the sound of firecrackers echoing throughout the entire city for a very long ti.
Carried by their curiosity, a large number of cultivators arrived at the shop, and upon seeing the Elixirs, they went crazy.
Had it not been for Tang Feng’s restriction of ten bottles per day, perhaps soone would have bought them all.
Batch after batch ca and went, bringing Tang Feng an unrivaled wealth in return.
Spirit Stones, precious dicinal materials—just one day filled the entire warehouse.
For three consecutive days, the business was extrely booming, but so people were getting envious.
For instance, the families in the ancient city.
Representatives from the Yuan Family, the Yu Lan Family, and the Wu Family all arrived.
Their intention was simple, which was to negotiate a share of the profits through a partnership, a well-planned sche.
Tang Feng didn’t even et with them and had them thrown out directly.
Upon hearing that their people were thrown out, the Three Great Families were furious, and three groups of people ca rolling in.
The scene was quite interesting.
All three groups of people surged into the pavilion together.
Before they could even collect themselves, they were dealt with by the twelve Cultivators from the Tribulation Crossing Realm.
Now, the three Clan Leaders were shocked, “Sir, we ca here to discuss business, let’s value harmony.”
“You were quite aggressive just now, but it seems you’re quite spineless, how disappointing.
I was thinking at least you’d put up a bit of resistance,” Tang Feng replied after collecting their belongings and then throwing them out again.
The three Clan Leaders returned to their families and finally breathed a sigh of relief, not expecting the newcor’s cultivation to be so formidable.
Of course, they would not tolerate this humiliation so easily and naturally planned to join forces in retaliation.
On this side, Tang Feng couldn’t be bothered with the matter.
anwhile, he was sorting through all the opportunities he had acquired.
Unfortunately, they did not include the materials Tang Feng needed; truthfully, he felt sowhat disappointed.
However, he quickly adjusted his mood because he understood that so things couldn’t be forced.
Sang Xi had decided to stay, to allow Tang Feng to search for the materials better, she would not follow but stay to handle the affairs of the Dan Pavilion—why wouldn’t she be happy?
She could also take the opportunity to collect wealth to alleviate Tang Feng’s worries.
A week later, having ascertained that the Dan Pavilion was on the right track, Tang Feng decided to leave.
He vanished without a trace, turning into a streak of light.
And when it was heard that Tang Feng had left, the Three Great Families imdiately banded together, ready to strike at an opportune ti.
Along the way, Tang Feng leisurely enjoyed the scenery, striving to calm himself down after being sowhat impatient in his actions recently.
Passing by a village, he decided to go in and rest for a bit.
Little did he know, upon entering, he encountered a strong scent of blood.
When he saw everything on the ground, Tang Feng almost threw up, wondering who could have committed such an atrocity to such a maniacal extent.
