Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

The Spirit Gathering Plate\'s market prospects were not an issue, and the Redemption Organization, with its own network, began to act as its seller. It was foreseeable that the Spirit Gathering Plate would bring in a massive amount of wealth, which was a more than welcome development for the Redemption Organization.

As for Tang San, he no longer concerned himself with it; his most important task now was to improve his cultivation.

Life force was of immense help to the human body, not just physically but mentally as well. The brain, nourished by life force, would reciprocate and nurture the Sea of Spirit. While cultivating in the Golden Valley, Tang San\'s divine consciousness recovered faster than he had anticipated.

Time passed day by day. While cultivating, what Tang San anticipated the most was the return of Pretty Girl. However, contrary to his wishes, Pretty Girl remained without a trace and no news came of her.

Whenever he missed her, Tang San would take out the milk tea cup she had given him to reminisce about her.

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. Tang San was now twelve years old.

A year\'s time finally allowed for the full recovery of his divine consciousness, which had improved beyond its previous state, and the Mysterious Heaven Method had successfully reached the peak of the Seventh Stage. This was still under his deliberate control, as he devoted more of his energy to recovering his divine consciousness and nurturing his body.

Within the Golden Valley, various precious herbs and treasures had grown abundantly. Under the influence of the rich life force, any precious herb brought here would grow at tenfold or even a hundredfold its normal rate. Zhang Haoxuan would take the mature fruits back to Redemption Academy and sell them to the students at low prices, indirectly allowing everyone to benefit from the Golden Valley.

Pleasingly, Zhang Haoxuan\'s cultivation base had finally reached the peak of the Ninth Stage, both in terms of Spiritual Power and bloodline power, just one step away from breaking through to the God Rank. On Tang San\'s advice, he continued to accumulate; the more he accumulated, the greater the possibility of a successful breakthrough. At the same time, where to make the breakthrough was also a very important consideration.

Humans breaking through to God Rank, if not affiliated with a powerful Monster or Spirit Monster race, would not be permitted. Therefore, he could only break through in secret.

The commotion of breaking through to God Rank would be quite significant, and if it alarmed the God level strong of the Monster Clan, it could well be a disaster. Zhang Haoxuan had yet to decide where he would make his breakthrough.

The greatest gain of the past year was not in terms of cultivation but from the sale of the Spirit Gathering Plate. As soon as it entered the market, its price skyrocketed. The gadget wasn\'t much use to Demon Kings above deity level. But the vast majority of the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan were not at that level! The advantages of carrying a Spirit Gathering Plate were easy to imagine, and it quickly became a popular treasure among the nobles.

If it weren\'t for controlling the price and not letting it fall by controlling the sales volume, Zhang Haoxuan\'s manufacturing ability could have produced hundreds of them without any problems in one year.

Even so, it brought them a considerable fortune. The Redemption Organization also made a substantial profit. Zhang Haoxuan had been praised more than once.

Tang San sat cross-legged under the Golden Tree in meditation, his Mysterious Heaven Skill Energy flowing like the great Yangtze River within him. Although he was only twelve years old now, his physique had grown to that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old. His appearance had become more handsome, resembling about seventy to eighty percent of his previous life\'s features. Affected by his divine consciousness, Tang San knew that once he recovered to a divine-ranked state, he would probably look exactly the same as in his previous life.

In this aspect, although Pretty Girl was reincarnated and did not carry the memories of her previous life, it seemed that she also experienced such changes. In the time they had spent together before, Tang San had noticed that she was gradually looking more like Xiaowu.

A year had gone by, and Pretty Girl had not returned. Meanwhile, Jiali City had become very peaceful, at least from Tang San\'s side; he had not received any news about the Ancestral Court targeting Jiali City. Everything seemed to have calmed down. After the battle between the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor and the Peacock Demon King, the Ancestral Court acted as if they knew nothing about it. But how many hidden struggles were happening behind the scenes was beyond Tang San\'s knowledge.

After a year of growth, the Golden Tree had reached a height of ten meters. Influenced by the Devouring Heaven Formation Chain Array, it grew lush and dense, emitting an exceptionally rich Life Aura.

The biggest beneficiaries of its advantages were the Red Fox girls. They had each blossomed into even more beautiful and charming figures. At the prime age of sixteen or seventeen, the flower of their youth was at its loveliest, and under the nourishment of the life force, they looked especially vibrant and enticing.

With such dense life force nourishment, led by Red One, the six most talented Red Fox girls had now achieved the Fourth Stage in their Red Fox Transformation, while the rest had reached the Third Stage level.

Their progress in learning about magic arrays brought joy to Tang San. The girls gathered daily to do nothing else but study and discuss their knowledge on arrays.

Not wanting to fall behind their companions, every one of them worked extremely hard. Under this positive cycle, their insights into arrays had even surpassed Zhang Haoxuan, who was occupied all day. They also possessed the ability to inscribe Spirit Gathering Plates. Tang San was now having them try to simplify other arrays and inscribe them on Array Plates and metals. He estimated that in no more than half a year, they would all be able to help inscribe arrays on his hidden weapons.

To Tang San, the eighteen Red Fox girls were truly his own people. Since they were eventually going to leave the valley, he spared no effort in guiding them. Apart from the Purple Demon Eyes, he also taught them the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, increasing their ability to protect themselves.

Through the mist, a red silhouette silently entered, the glowing arrow on the Array Plate in hand vanishing as it did so. It was Zhang Haoxuan returning.

"Mayor, good to see you!" The Red Fox girls stood up one after another and respectfully saluted Zhang Haoxuan.

They had intended to address Zhang Haoxuan as "Great-ancestor," as in a sense, they were Tang San\'s disciples. However, Zhang Haoxuan adamantly refused. He felt somewhat ashamed in his heart; what he had taught Tang San was, in fact, less than what Tang San had taught him. Hence, he let the girls address him simply as "Mayor."

Tang San had just awoken from his meditation and stood up, saying, "Teacher, you have come."

"Hmm," Zhang Haoxuan nodded.

Seeing that they had something to discuss, Red One led the girls away to a distance.

Zhang Haoxuan extended his hand to Tang San, and with a flash of light on the back of his hand, pale blue lines emerged.

Tang San was surprised at first but then smiled and said, "Congratulations, Teacher, on being promoted to Green-grade redemption."

Yes, Zhang Haoxuan\'s Redemption Rune had turned blue. This was a high-ranking status second only to purple.

Zhang Haoxuan smiled wryly, "Congratulations for what, this is all thanks to the Spirit Gathering Plate. Also, the organization has asked me to make a trip to headquarters. And from what I\'ve heard, they are planning to have me stay there."

"What?" Tang San was startled, then understood why the Redemption Organization wanted to do this. The profits brought by the Spirit Gathering Plate were astonishing, and having Zhang Haoxuan at headquarters would undoubtedly be safer and easier to manage.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "I have to visit the headquarters, but I\'ve declined the transfer."
