Chapter 108: Pei Yuan Dan, Tang San's Movements
It had been a month since Davis returned to Xingluo City. During this time, aside from enjoying a shameless and indulgent life with Zhu Zhuyun, he had been cultivating diligently every single day.
However, Davis had now reached the Soul Emperor level, and advancing his soul power further was becoming much more difficult. Even after a full month of dedicated cultivation, he was still stuck at the bottleneck of level 63.
But Davis wasn't discouraged. After all, cultivation was never something that could be achieved overnight. Compared to his counterpart in the original story, he was already miles ahead. He was now level 63, possessed the world's number one beast spirit, and had three soul bones, which the original Davis never had.
Davis dared to say confidently: forget giving Dai Mubai a strange chrysanthemum, even ten wouldn't be enough for that stupid brother to match him.
On the other hand, Anna had been steadily absorbing the essence of the Blue Silver Emperor this past month, and the quality of her martial spirit had significantly improved. Her Black Jade Divine Grass, in both toughness and hardness, had now far surpassed iron wires of similar thickness.
The improvement in her martial spirit also enhanced her cultivation speed. After a month of hard work and absorbing some spirit power from the Blue Silver Grass, Anna successfully broke through to level 40, officially becoming a Soul Ancestor.
Davis was ready to honor his promise and take her to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain her fourth spirit ring.
However, before he could do that, Butler Li Hu came in with a report.
"Your Highness, Yang Wudi is here to visit."
"Senior Yang?" Davis raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, Your Highness. President Yang Wudi is already outside the mansion," Li Hu replied respectfully.
As the Crown Prince of the Xingluo Empire, Davis's status was becoming more exalted by the day. Everyone knew he was the future emperor. As the saying goes, when one person rises, everyone close rises too. Even Li Hu, once a simple housekeeper, was now treated with admiration. Wealthy merchants in Xingluo City were lining up just to curry favor with him.
"Shouldn't Senior Yang be refining pills at the Alchemist Association?" Davis muttered.
Over the past six months, the once-destroyed Alchemist Association had been rebuilt, and Yang Wudi had returned to his usual work.
"Why would he visit me now? Could he have made some important breakthrough?"
Thinking this, Davis immediately said, "Uncle Li, please invite Senior Yang in."
"Yes, I'll bring him in at once."
Not long after, Yang Wudi walked in, dusty from travel but visibly energized. Despite his disheveled appearance, his eyes sparkled with excitement.
Upon seeing Davis, he immediately bowed. "Your subordinate greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Senior Yang, there's no need for that." Davis personally helped him up. "Since you've come so early and seem so thrilled, I imagine you have good news for me?"
"Of course! Your Highness, please take a look." Yang Wudi spoke mysteriously, producing a water-blue pill and handing it to Davis.
Davis activated his Ice-Fire Evil Eyes to inspect it. Compared to the Grade Nine Qingling Pill, this pill's medicinal power wasn't nearly as intense.
"Senior Yang, what is this?"
"This is my latest creation—Pei Yuan Dan," Yang Wudi announced proudly. "As the name suggests, it strengthens the foundation and nourishes the essence."
Yang Wudi grew increasingly animated, and Davis let him speak without interruption.
"This Pei Yuan Dan can improve martial spirit quality and increase soul power. While it's not as potent as the Qingling Pill, it's far more cost-effective.
With just one ninth-grade purple ganoderma and some other common, neutral herbs, I can refine three Pei Yuan Dan!"
"Oh?" Davis's eyes lit up. "Does that mean we could distribute the Pei Yuan Dan to all soul masters in the Xingluo Empire?"
That possibility thrilled him. After all, immortal herbs were extremely rare, but high-quality medicinal herbs could be cultivated using the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and they matured in just over a decade—unlike immortal herbs, which took centuries.
"Not only soul masters!" Yang Wudi continued. "Even ordinary people can take one to temper their bodies. A soldier who takes Pei Yuan Dan can have the strength of ten!"
He paused and added, "However, there is one flaw—each person can only take it once. Taking a second one has no effect. And for people like Your Highness who have already consumed immortal herbs, it won't have any effect at all."
"Haha! As long as it's affordable, then that's no problem at all." Davis laughed. "Senior Yang, this pill is incredibly important to the Empire. Please keep the formula secure."
"Rest assured, Your Highness. I've kept the recipe safe, and for now, only I can refine the Pei Yuan Dan in the entire Alchemist Association."
"Good. While keeping it secret, I also ask that you begin refining them in large batches."
Davis thought of the White Tiger Corps. Though currently at 50,000 strong, he still felt that wasn't enough.
After all, he was a time traveler—he feared insufficient firepower.
Lou Gao had already been working day and night to produce more cannons and artillery shells. Now, with the Pei Yuan Dan, Davis could significantly enhance the strength of his army.
Even if they ran out of ammo, the White Tiger Corps would still be strong enough to battle Titled Douluo in close combat.
"Yes! I will do my best!" Yang Wudi nodded firmly. Then, he added, "There's one more thing I wanted to report to Your Highness—it's about Tang Hao."
Hearing that name, Davis's interest was piqued immediately. "Oh? Tang Hao? What happened to him? Please, Senior Yang, tell me everything."
"It's like this…" Yang Wudi began.
He explained how he had always been dissatisfied with the Power Clan being the only one of the four single-attribute clans that hadn't joined the Xingluo Empire.
The other three had already pledged allegiance, but Tai Tan of the Power Clan had refused. So Yang Wudi had spent days trying to persuade him, hoping he would bring the Power Clan to join the empire and fight alongside the others.
Apparently, Tai Tan had grown frustrated and eventually revealed that he had found Tang Hao's son—Tang San, and had already pledged the Power Clan's loyalty to him.
Just in the past month, Tang San had completed the third stage of Yu Xiaogang's training. With Ning Rongrong, he went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but unsurprisingly, he ended up beating up Prince Xue Bian and got kicked out by Prince Xue Xing.
After that, following Flanders's suggestion, the Shrek Seven Devils joined the Blue Tyrant Academy founded by Liu Erlong.
The academy was officially renamed Shrek Academy.
Not long after Tang San enrolled, he had a confrontation with Tai Long, drawing out Tai Nuo and eventually Tai Tan himself.
During a spar with Tai Tan, Tang San accidentally revealed his Clear Sky Hammer. Tai Nuo recognized it on the spot, and the Power Clan pledged their allegiance to Tang San.
