Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 403: Massive Fortune

Xu Ziran said, "There are already quite a few Spirit Summoning Arrays on the market. While they are valuable, they're not shocking enough. A teleportation array disc would be good, and a Spirit Fusion Array disc would be great. But what truly stunned me last time was the bloodline array disc the master produced. I’m confident we can completely outshine the Skyway Merchant Association if we get a bloodline array disc. We can promise that all the profits from the bloodline array disc will go to the master; we won’t take any fee."

"A bloodline array disc..." Tang San pondered the idea, and his expression clearly showed that he was troubled. "Brother Xu, you heard the master that day. Creating a bloodline array disc is extremely difficult, and it has a very high failure rate. It requires immense effort and it costs a lot, especially due to the lack of rare bloodlines. So, I definitely can't promise that."

Xu Ziran frowned and said, "I understand. If not, a teleportation array disc would also work, since it hasn’t appeared on the market yet."

"Brother Xu, how about this? Are you able to find some precious bloodlines for me? I’ll hand it over to the master and have him try to create the array disc. If it succeeds, you can auction it. Master Lou really just wants to continue his research, so he only cares about having enough materials. He’ll just take the auction profits minus the cost for the blood."

Xu Ziran’s eyes lit up. "That’s also a solution. Recently, I’ve been searching for rare blood for him. But you know, this is taboo for various clans and not easy to obtain. Its value is also very high."

Tang San glanced at him and said, "Brother Xu, that’s up to you. But let me remind you, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child! You can think about it. However, there's not much time left until the auction, so if you delay, it will be too late."

Xu Ziran frowned. "I'll report back. I can't make all the decisions here in the Ancestral Court. Brother Asura, please communicate with the master first. Wait for my news. Where are you staying?"

Tang San replied, "We are staying at the White Tiger Grand Hotel. However, the room rates are too high there, and we were planning to return after the team battle here."

Xu Ziran said without hesitation, "The room fee is nothing. The association has special rates there. I'll have someone accompany you back. The association will cover your expenses for the duration of your stay. You can return after the grand auction is over."

Hearing this, Wu Bingji couldn't help but secretly give Tang San a thumbs-up. Nice, we’re saving money!

"Alright, we'll do as you say, brother Xu."

Upon returning to the Aetherhorn Merchant Association, Xu Ziran immediately arranged for a carriage and an Aetherhorn Deer from the association to accompany Tang San and the others back to the hotel. He himself had many tasks to handle, including the follow-up matters concerning Tang San and the most important collaboration with the array master. Using the precious blood in the association’s vaults was no small matter, especially the higher-tier blood samples, which were core assets.

Of course, as far as Wu Bingji was concerned, returning to the White Tiger Grand Hotel with their expenses covered was undoubtedly the best outcome.

Aside from Tang San and Du Bai, the other three gained mainly from absorbing the Hell Garden’s rich spiritual energy. Once they were back at the hotel, everyone returned to their rooms and went straight to the cultivation rooms to train.

There were still eight or nine days until the grand auction. After the auction, they would return to Kali City, so they naturally had to make the most of this time.

Tang San returned to his room, closed the door, and his gaze became focused.

Since leaving the Hell Garden, he focused on his two imprints. One was, of course, the Discerning Eye of Heaven with its new domain. He named this domain the Polar Domain, where the opposing forces of fortune and misfortune coexisted!

The other was, of course, his crystal imprint.

When leaving the Hell Garden, Tang San found that the Discerning Eye of Heaven did not show any changes. He did not activate the Polar Domain consciously, and the black-and-white halo did not change in any way either.

However, the crystal imprint showed a significant reaction.

The crystal imprint in his dantian alternated between cold, hot, and trembling, as if it was undergoing some kind of process. During this process, it only absorbed the external spiritual energy without affecting Tang San himself.

Tang San was ready to use his divine consciousness at any moment, worried that the Crystal Demon Emperor might do something to him because of the imprint. But until now, he hadn't heard the Crystal Demon Emperor's voice or sensed the latter’s aura or divine consciousness. It seemed only the imprint itself was changing.

Should I go to the Crystal Sacred Mountain? Should I tell the Crystal Demon Emperor everything? Or just let things be?

Naturally, Tang San was inclined to choose the latter. He had too many secrets, and to prevent further exposure, it was best to avoid meeting the Crystal Demon Emperor.

In the next few days, he didn't plan to go climbing again. The Crystal Palace and the Celestial Fox Palace had given him strong enough stimuli. Coupled with the newly acquired domain and the uncertain situation with the crystal imprint, he decided to let things stabilize for a few days.

However, before leaving, he would definitely try a Nymph Emperor's palace, which was one of his main objectives for this trip. As for whether the Aetherhorn Merchant Association would provide the precious blood, Tang San wasn't worried. He hadn’t been so sure initially, but based on Xu Ziran's performance and his conflict with Fatball, he was confident that the association would give the "array master" more support. The extent of their support would depend on their boldness.

Locking himself in the cultivation room, Tang San relaxed, meditated to adjust his physical condition, and then prepared to try out the Polar Domain.

He had possessed a domain before and was very clear about its effects. A powerful domain, if used well, could significantly enhance one’s overall strength. Not to mention, the Polar Domain had the powerful ability to control fortune.

In the Ancestral Court, he didn't dare to use it easily in order to avoid alarming the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor. But if he returned to Kali City, it would be different! He would be free to do as he wished.

He slowly injected his spiritual power, gradually activating the domain.

This time, the four-tailed Celestial Fox did not appear; instead, a faint white halo with a three-meter diameter appeared around Tang San, covering the entire cultivation room.

The white halo wasn't strong and might not even be noticeable outside during the day.

However, Tang San felt a distinct difference when the white halo appeared. First, he sensed himself. In his perception, a platinum-colored light seemed to shoot up from his body, and the intense platinum glow even startled him.

Is this... fortune? My own fortune?

Through the Discerning Eye of Heaven, he had seen others' fortunes before, but he could only sense minor changes and a vague general direction. To see his own fortune in a concrete form was simply unheard of.

Undoubtedly, white represented good fortune, so how fortunate was this platinum color? What did it mean? He could just ascend to godhood in one step? But he didn't feel that way!

It was undoubtedly a good phenomenon, but when something seems too good to be true... it usually is.

Could this change be due to acquiring the Polar Domain?

As he thought about this, Tang San quietly focused the domain power he released onto misfortune. Instantly, the white halo turned into a faint grayish-black, and at that moment, the world seemed to lose its color, as if everything was shrouded in gloom.

However, Tang San's perception of his own luck didn't change. The platinum light still surged upward, so much so that the platinum light forcibly repelled the misfortune aura. This indicated that his fortune was so good that even pure, unadulterated misfortune couldn't affect it.
