The fifty-third greedy guy

  Leaning against the door and smiling, Old Lei hastily excused himself after exchanging only a couple of words with Tang Yan, clutching his stomach as if in pain. He rushed back to his own room. Tang Yan wasn't a fool; he knew the old man was trying to avoid him. Before he escaped, however, Tang Yan yelled at him, "I don't care about you! You'll still have to take responsibility for this! Just compensate me with a few fourth- or fifth-grade elixirs and we're settled!"

  Lei Lao did not respond to Tang Yan's words, he was just thinking, why could Tang Yan drop in level after practicing the Lei Thunderbolt Technique for a short time? If it were really as Tang Yan said, then wouldn't the Ninth Heaven be dropping nine stars? The elixir and the Zhongzong Gate were not many, but they were not lacking either, unless Tang Yan worshipped him as his master.

  In a short period of time, he mastered the Thunderbolt Palm and dropped another level, leaving Lui Zhen speechless. He said he was a genius, but then again, not quite; he wasn't a genius, yet he couldn't help but admire him for mastering the first stage of Tian in just half a day. It made him think back to when he used to spend months cultivating, and it really made him feel like people were on different levels, which was infuriating.

  "Don't give me the Dan medicine, just give me a million gold coins in compensation!" Tang Yan saw him rush into the room and shout loudly.

  "Money slave!" Xuan Yuan Yue heard Tang Yan say nothing but money from start to finish.

  "What a money slave you are! I want the money for your future life, and last time you said to divide half of the Xuan Yuan family's property with me. Now, not even one cent is given to me, I don't know if what you said was true or false!" Tang Yan said to Xuan Yuan Yue.

  "Did I say that? Zi Lan, sister, did I say that?" Xuan Yuan Yue asked.

  Zilan is Tang Yan's fiancée, and Xuan Yuan Yue can be considered half a sister. When facing her, Zilan remains neutral, not taking sides with anyone. This makes Tang Yan feel somewhat displeased, but he can't do anything about it. Lei Lao refuses to pay compensation, Xuan Yuan Yue doesn't admit fault, and in the end, their eyes fall on Nan Gong Xiang Xue who is standing beside them, secretly smiling.

  "What are you looking at? Don't I owe you something? That matter, I haven't even settled accounts with you yet." What Nangong said was naturally about what happened in the carriage. A dignified princess, a golden branch and jade leaf, the little demon of the Purple Dragon Empire, was actually stripped of her clothes by Tang Yan and seen through, at that time her legs were still spread wide apart, the secret color between them must have been seen clearly by Tang Yan.

  "Can I borrow a few Dan medicines from you? I'll return them to you later!" Tang Yan thought of the use of Dou Qi Dan and asked.

  "Borrow? I've heard of borrowing money, but borrowing Dan is a first. Don't you know that some elixirs are priceless and can't be bought even with money? If you're an alchemist, maybe a fourth or fifth-grade one, then perhaps I might consider it!" Nangong Xiangxue gave him a white eye.

  "Tang Yan, don't you have 1.4 million gold coins on you? You can use the money to buy it at an auction house." Xuan Yuan Yue was very puzzled that he had a lot of money, but still wanted to borrow things from others. Clearly, 1.4 million gold coins could buy two or three fourth-grade elixirs, but she just couldn't understand what he wanted to do.

  In response to Xuan Yuan's words, Tang Yan gave him a cold look, just like Nan Gong Xiang Xue, as if he was blaming Xuan Yuan for revealing his secrets. However, Xuan Yuan acted as if nothing had happened and simply smiled and continued eating the food on the table.

  "Lend me one, and I'll return two!" Tang Yan said.

  "Haha, go ahead and brag, with a face like yours?" Nangong Xiangxue said, enjoying teasing Tang Yan.

  Next to the two old men, who had been silent all along, looking at Tang Yan's confident appearance, perhaps Tang Yan could really do it. However, they still didn't interrupt, and in their hearts, they were just thinking about Tang Yan, this mysterious young man, making it hard for them to believe that Tang Yan could master the Thunderbolt Technique within half a day.

  Hehe, if they knew that Tang Yan not only had a five-element physique but also an additional so-called air element physique, I wonder if they would be like Lao Lei and vow to take Tang Yan as their apprentice. Of course, Tang Yan wouldn't tell others about his five-element physique; if Lao Lei asked, Tang Yan would say at most that he had two physiques, one fire and one thunder. After all, people with dual physiques were quite common on this continent.

  In this tavern, it can be said that all around are the eyes and ears of various sects. They have all received orders from their respective sect leaders to disguise themselves as mercenaries and move into this tavern, monitoring Tang Yan's every move.

  At this time, a very bold guy in the tavern walked up to Tang Yan and his friends with a smile, introducing himself first. Then he said to Tang Yan: "If you want the fifth-grade fighting spirit pill, just join our Sword Sect. The sect master will not only give you the fighting spirit pill but also give you some heavenly treasures to eat."

  "Hehe, you help me reply to him, I'll go find him later, yeah, it's going to be one or two months from now!" Tang Yan said.

  "Really?"

  "Of course it's true!"

  Yes, Tang Yan not only has to go to Jianzongmen to find their sect master, but also to Quanzongmen, Tui, Dao, Qiang, Anqi, Zhang and so on. As long as there are eighth-level or higher demons in their sect, Tang Yan will go to find them. For the demons in the demon forest, it's not suitable for Tang Yan to enter with his current strength. In case he encounters a tenth-level or higher demon inside, Tang Yan won't have enough lives to die, so he finds some tame demons to deal with.

  Of course, if the various sect masters were to find out about this matter, Tang Yan would be targeted for pursuit and killing. This was something that Tang Yan had thought of before, but he didn't care. As long as he became strong enough, whoever tried to move against him would be killed by him. For the sake of protecting his beloved woman, Tang Yan no longer cared about these things. He must go to the forbidden land; after all, it was said that there was an elixir of immortality there. In the "Ancient Alchemy Scripture", it was recorded that not only would one's strength increase after consuming it, but they could also live a longer life.

  Having received Tang Yan's reply, the Swordsman Sect disciple pulled out a magic crystal card worth 2 million gold coins from his body and said: "This is the sect master's travel expenses for you, take it and spend it!"

  "Alright, thank him for me. Once I've finished my business, I'll definitely go visit him!" Tang Yan didn't stand on ceremony either, putting away the gold coin magic crystal card worth 2 million.

  "That's all for now, I'll take my leave!" The guy who finished his task bowed with clasped hands and backed away.

  There was one who took the lead, and the others couldn't sit still either. Like that guy from the Sword Sect earlier, they represented their own sects to pay their respects to Tang Yan, each presenting him with a higher-grade Golden Coin Magic Card than the last. Tang Yan didn't refuse them, accepting all of them, still saying the same thing - come visit their sect masters in one or two months' time. This made Lei Lao, who was staying in the guest room upstairs, restless as well. He had done this before, so how could he possibly sit still? Even Princess Nan Gong Xiang Xue was the same, Tang Yan had promised to return to the Imperial Capital with her, but she hadn't expected him to promise them that he would visit each of their sects.

  "What do you mean? For Dan medicine? Or money?" Lao Lei asked.

  Tang Yan didn't respond to them, he just counted the magic crystal cards that were sent by these families, there were five in total, with a minimum of 2 million gold coins and a maximum of 4 million. This allowed Tang Yan to suddenly earn an additional 16 million, more than what he had offered to Lei Lao earlier, his net worth suddenly reaching 30 million. This made Tang Yan laugh out loud, but also earned him a cold glance from Nangong Xiangxue and the others.

  "Little brother, why do you want so much money? If you take their money and don't give them any benefits, they will kill you!" Zi Lan said to Tang Yan.

  "Money is a good thing, you know, for them, don't worry about this, I'll handle it well. Come on, give grandpa a smile!" Tang Yan said with a sly tone, teasing Zilan like a true rascal.

  "Pffft!" Hearing Tang Yan's words, Zilan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

  "Right, Moon, you said earlier that the Dan medicine can be bought. Do you know where to get it?" Tang Yan asked, ignoring the black lines on Lei Lao and Nangong Xiangxue's foreheads.

  "Little brother, I remember Father said before that in every city, there is a pawnshop where you can find anything for sale. You can go take a look." Zi Lan said to Tang Yan.

  Lei Lao saw that Tang Yan was ignoring him, his face getting darker and darker. As for Nangong Xiangxue, as long as she returned to the Imperial City, no other sect could do anything to the Nangong royal family. But Lei Lao was different, once Tang Yan really became his disciple, those sects would definitely find an excuse to cause trouble, not because of anything else, but just because Tang Yan had received benefits from them and didn't go to their place. It's possible that because of this, Tang Yan might be surrounded by five sects and then kidnapped, so he was very unhappy with what Tang Yan did this time.

  Now he really regrets it a bit, why didn't he give him the money earlier? If he had given him the money earlier, perhaps Tang Yan wouldn't have accepted these sect masters' money. It's clear that Tian Dao Tang Yan is greedy and lustful, but unexpectedly he chased away various sect leaders and instead sent some small fries to build relationships.

  "Are you buying dan medicine? Alright, I'll give you two pieces." Lei Laoseng said, fearing that Tang Yan would take other sect's things again.

  "Two pieces? What two pieces of medicine?" Tang Yan couldn't believe that this old fellow would take out something and ask him.

  "Four-product Qi Dan, want or not?" Lao Lei's hand brought out two pellets of medicine and appeared in front of Tang Yan.

  Space Ring, Tang Yan didn't think this guy would have a Space Ring. Originally, only Nangong Xiangxue, that little demoness, had one. Tang Yan looked at the dan medicine in his hand, but he didn't immediately take it over. He just smiled and pointed to the Space Ring on his right middle finger, revealing a greedy smile on his face, as if telling Lei Lao that these two dan medicines wouldn't be enough for him.

  "Are two coins a bit less?" Tang Yan asked.

  "Only two pieces are left, unless you surrender to our sect now!" Lao Da shouted at Tang Yan.

  "Alright, two pills it is!" Tang Yan took them over and popped the two medicinal pellets into his mouth like they were candy. In his mind, he thought: "When the time comes, you'll know that I've devoured your family's magical beast soul, who knows if you'll still be willing to take me as a disciple? Hmm, don't care about that, just eat all of their sect's medicinal pellets and absorb the essence of their guardian beasts. As long as I become powerful, who dares to scold me? I'll destroy them!"

  When Tang Yan swallowed the two elixirs, the three people from the Nangong royal family beside him quickly formed a shield of air around their bodies. Zilan and Xuan Yuan Moon hastily retreated back to their room. Lei Lao, who was watching them, felt puzzled by their actions. He hadn't seen the clothes on the three beauties' bodies being blown away by Tang Yan's aura, so he didn't know about the changes caused by Tang Yan taking the elixirs. This time, however, nothing happened to Tang Yan - not even a single star level was raised. The people beside Nangong Xiangxue were confused and asked him with a smile.

  It turned out that Tang Yan knew the reason for suppressing the upgrade on that day. Under the effect of the elixir, he suddenly broke through several star levels, and suppressing the upgrade was also a very common thing, but few people did it this way. Seeing that Tang Yan didn't burst out with that energy, Nangong Xiangxue took off her armor.

  "I'm telling you, Old Lei, are you giving me some trashy medicine to eat? After eating it, why can I only increase that little bit of Dou Qi?" Tang Yan asked.

  "You are now a Grand Master, to break through, you need to eat at least ten or more to have a breakthrough! Of course, if you eat one 8th-grade Fighting Spirit Pill, you might suddenly break through to the Three-Star Grand Master!" Lei Lao said to Tang Yan.

  "Really? Then can you give me a few more to eat, I feel that after eating a few more, I will break through!" Tang Yan smiled and looked at Lei Lao's angry face.
