Chapter 2184 - 2180: True Elixir
"Hahaha, Tang Ming Hall Master, clearly it’s your own victory, yet you insist on saying it’s our victory. This is practically seeking credit."
Mu Ta was the first to burst into laughter.
Standing next to Mu Ta, Tian Huansheng and Han Ya’s expressions first changed, then they also laughed: "Yes, yes, all the credit belongs to Tang Hall Master. We will report it truthfully to the tower."
Tang Ming made a few humble and polite remarks, then everyone headed to Tang Ming’s residence.
After everyone had seated themselves, Tang Ming personally poured a cup of wine for the three leading figures of Tianpo City: "I think this matter isn’t over yet."
"Given that old fellow Chu Bashan’s personality, indeed it should not be over. But don’t worry, this time their Chu Family humiliated our Tianpo City face. Our Tianpo Tower, we are not easy to deal with."
Han Ya slapped the table, a gleam of killing intent shot from his eyes.
Mu Ta and Tian Huansheng nodded along. Tian Huansheng drank a cup of wine and said: "Rest assured, I will send some more people to the medical hall. Shan Ze’s strength is there, having the people I send over should prevent any issues."
"Hahaha, Commander Tian, you’re flattering me, I’m a man who couldn’t even keep his own woman safe, how can I ensure the medical hall’s safety? This matter still relies on Commander Tian."
Shan Ze laughed, but everyone could clearly see the anger on his face.
Shan Ze resented Tian Huansheng and also Zeng Qing; knowing Zeng Qing likely has connections with the Chu Family, his fury was entirely focused on the Chu Family.
Tang Ming noticed the atmosphere at the table seemed off, he quickly coughed: "Tower Master, City Lord, Commander. I have something to mention to you all."
"Hmm, Tang Hall Master, speak."
Han Ya nodded; the medical hall in Tianpo City was already a very important department. A third of the Spirit Stones in Tianpo City’s Inner Treasury were handed over by the medical hall.
Tang Ming revitalized the medical hall, which equates to solving large problems for Han Ya. This moment, even if he is not in the same faction as Tang Ming, he was polite to Tang Ming.
"Here’s the situation, I haven’t been in Tianpo City long, so recently I’ve done some understanding of the city. I found that what’s most numerous in Tianpo City are people from demon hunting teams. So, I want to form my own demon hunting team."
Tang Ming glanced at the three men, Mu Ta, Han Ya, and Tian Huansheng.
Mu Ta, Han Ya, and Tian Huansheng were all quite surprised.
In Tianpo City, people from demon hunting teams are called Mountain Tyrants, these individuals are often considered the lowest tier of Tianpo City.
Tang Ming, as the Hall Master of Tianpo City’s medical hall and likely one of the city’s wealthiest individuals in the future, actually wants to operate a demon hunting team. This indeed surprised Mu Ta, Han Ya, and Tian Huansheng.
"That’s a good thing. I don’t know when Hall Master Tang’s demon hunting team will be established, but when it is, I, the old fellow, will prepare a gift for you."
Mu Ta was the first to respond, he laughed heartily and spoke.
"Ah, so that’s the matter. Don’t worry, Hall Master Tang, this gift will surely include contributions from me and Commander Tian."
Han Ya also laughed.
Tang Ming satisfiedly nodded, then waved his hand for Zhou Mo to bring out the prepared gifts.
Zhou Mo reluctantly took out three jade bottles and handed them to Tang Ming.
"My three lords, while none of you practice elixir cultivation, you must have heard that within alchemy, medicine powder is the most inferior form of elixir, not even considered a true elixir. A true elixir is a spherical object with a strange color. Here are three elixirs, a gift to the three of you."
Tang Ming placed the three jade bottles on the dining table, and the table instantly fell silent.
"A true elixir." These five words appeared in the minds of Han Ya, Mu Ta, and Tian Huansheng like a thunderous explosion that left them speechless.
The ninth-class alchemist can refine a true elixir, only then can they be recognized as a ninth-class alchemist.
And the only ninth-class alchemist Han Ya had seen was Qing Wen, the Tower Master of Bimu City.
What kind of existence is Qing Wen the Alchemist? The Tower Master of a tower, who knows how many years he’s lived, how many years he’s practiced alchemy, and he has taught countless disciples.
But he has only just begun to refine pills himself.
But Tang Ming, judging by his soul age, looks to be just several decades old. What does it mean when someone in their tens of years is already a ninth-class alchemist? It implies that if nothing happens to Tang Ming, he could potentially become a middle-grade alchemist, possibly even a top-grade alchemist.
Han Ya received the jade bottle, opened it and took a glance, the jade bottle contained a pink elixir, emitting a subtle fragrance that was intoxicating.
Tang Ming’s voice rang out again: "Tower Master, this elixir is golden sore medicine, but it should be called a Golden Healing Pill, can restore external and internal injuries, very effective in healing. I have only refined five pills of such elixirs. I plan to present one to Senior Lan Yan and keep one in the medical hall for contingencies."
Being able to refine the Golden Healing Pill was unexpected for Tang Ming. When it was refined using the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod, Tang Ming was thrilled for quite a while.
He quickly summoned Zhao Jian and Zhou Mo to the alchemy room.
Zhou Mo and Zhao Jian’s eyes glowed at the sight of the elixir, nearly kneeling down to kiss the back of Tang Ming’s feet.
Through Zhao Jian’s account, Tang Ming understood the importance of elixirs to an alchemist.
The so-called medicine powder is all failed products of elixir refinement. Following alchemy methods, refined pills are the true essence of medicine.
Even though the medicine powder fails, the effectiveness of the Immortal Elixir persists, and the reaction it has also constitutes part of the effect of a finished medicine. Thus forming the medicine powder.
After all, true alchemists are rare, and the success rate in refining elixirs is low.
"This gift is truly too precious. But I will indeed accept it, as it’s a great tool for survival. Since Tang Ming Hall Master wishes to form a demon hunting team, then he needs to train some people. Here I have a scroll of the Body Cultivation Technique called Iron Wall Chain, which I acquired back in the day, I’ll present it to Hall Master Tang Ming."
Tang Ming had taken out the elixirs, the return gift couldn’t be lacking. Han Ya thought for a long time before taking out a jade scroll to give to Tang Ming.
While jade scrolls are valuable, they aren’t too painful to part with, as one still retains their own copy even after gifting it.
Seeing Han Ya present a jade scroll, Mu Ta initially reached out but then withdrew his hand: "Tower Master really posed a difficult problem for me. Since you offered a technique, I can only offer something else. I remember, when Zeng Qing was captured, he had a residence near the medical hall. Now that residence is unused, let it be given to Hall Master Tang Ming as a base for his demon hunting team."
