338: Chapter 290 338: Chapter 290 People were saying such things about Jiang Tang, and the first to can’t help but want to teach those people a lesson were the women by Jiang Tang’s side.
Jiang Tang simply treated their words as a dog’s bark; to him, the dog that bites and barks wildly is not worthy of his attention.
If the barking of the dogs becomes too irritating, then the Dog-Beating Staff will make its appearance.
The forthright Tang Yanhong waved her hand, and streaks of poison were released, leaving those who entered the shop unable to react before feeling abdominal pain and vomiting black blood.
“You…
Jiang Tang, you kill indiscriminately with despicable methods, you are no gentleman…”
The people in the shop were still unclear about who had poisoned them.
They had been looking for the shop’s owner, Jiang Tang, so they assumed he was retaliating against them.
“Auntie here specializes in poisons, to shut your babbling mouths.
You all think you’re so mighty?
First taste the power of my poison, then experience Jiang Tang’s ferocity.”
Tang Yanhong opened the door, and in her red attire, she appeared at the entrance of the shop.
“Jiang Tang, as expected, is a shrinking turtle…
letting a woman stand up for you.”
This person was already steeped in poison, and so were all others who came into the shop.
Seeing their condition, people outside dared not enter.
The Cultivation World is not a place where one slaughters the innocent at will.
You may conduct assassinations as long as you don’t get caught red-handed.
If your enemies find out, they can seek revenge, but there are also legal constraints.
If you initiate a challenge and the other person employs a far more fierce method, then you can only admit defeat and bemoan your bad luck.
In the Cultivation World, the strong are respected.
Since you are no match for others, what grounds do you have to be arrogant?
If someone digs a pit and you fall into it, you can only blame it on the lack of smoke arising from your ancestral grave.
Jiang Tang was cursed by others yet again, and Dugu Yan’er wanted to use insect poison to kill them.
But Jiang Tang stopped her.
He didn’t want bloodshed in his own shop.
However…
the scent of blood in the shop was now so heavy, it was extremely inauspicious.
Jiang Tang plucked a green flower from his space and scattered it towards the people outside the shop.
The ones poisoned only smelled a burst of vitality and felt the intense pain in their internal organs.
Inhaling this breath of life gradually alleviated their symptoms, and then they felt as if they had never been poisoned at all.
This breath of life made them feel as though they could sense a rich qi entering their bodies, healing them, and it seemed to remove all their chronic ailments.
“Oh…
Could this be a raw material used in Supreme Elixirs?”
Some people suddenly realized, their anger turning to surprise.
They had only heard of how precious Supreme Elixirs were; today they only got a whiff of its essence, yet it was so powerful.
This breath made their bodies feel wonderful.
If they could get more of these raw materials or the Supreme Elixirs themselves, it would be an opportunity.
“Do you still wish to scold him?”
Jiang Tang stepped out from the room with composure.
His appearance brightened the eyes of the few people inside the shop—it was the very person they were searching for, the master himself!
The Holy Pavilion had just released the poisonous gas that drifted a bit too far.
People walking on the street covered their breaths but still inhaled a bit of the poison.
Just as they thought of looking for someone to cure the poison, a breath of life from the shop invigorated them.
People who smelled the breath on the street couldn’t resist sitting on the dirty ground to meditate and circulate their cultivation techniques, drawing more of this breath of life into their bodies.
“We dare not, we simply wish to buy resources.
We heard that you, Jiang Tang, have Supreme Elixirs for sale.
Could you perhaps sell them to me a bit cheaper?”
Some made a respectful bow, as if their previous arrogance had never occurred.
“Jiang Tang, indeed you are a graceful and dashing man, the most handsome in the Cultivation World.
Great Lord Jiang Tang, please sell an elixir to me!” one person went even further, buttering up for resources.
“Please sell some Supreme Elixirs to me at a cheaper rate!” Yet another person got down on their knees.
Jiang Tang said with a smile, “You wish for me to sell Supreme Elixirs to you at a lower price?
How cheap?
I’m not selling cabbages here.
You buy advanced pills at such high prices; surely my Supreme Elixirs can’t be cheaper than those advanced pills, right?”
“Jiang Tang, I heard you accept resources in exchange for goods.
Take a look at what I have and tell me how many elixirs you can exchange for them—no…
even just one would satisfy me,” declared a middle-aged burly man, begging as if pleading with both his grandfather and grandmother.
Cultivators are desperate for cultivation and the pursuit of longevity.
Jiang Tang didn’t reach out to take the man’s Storage Bag; instead, he used his Divine Sense to examine the Storage Bag in the man’s hand.
Within the Storage Bag were some common herbs and Spirit Stones, but what caught his eye was a peculiar piece of wood wrapped in snow.
He seemed to remember seeing this piece of wood in a Secret Manual.
The dark, shiny wood emitted a clear fragrance.
Jiang Tang searched his mind for the name of this type of wood and identified it as Nurturing Heart Wood.
The Secret Manual described the Nurturing Heart Wood as being effective because of its aroma.
Those who could smell the Nurturing Heart Wood would find some ailments mitigated or even cured.
Those with heart diseases or underdeveloped hearts, especially those whose hearts tended to beat excessively, could find treatment or relief from their conditions upon smelling this Nurturing Heart Wood.
Jiang Tang felt this piece of wood was useful and seemed somewhat fresh.
He contemplated whether he could cut a piece off to plant in his space to see whether it might sprout.
The introduction to this type of Nurturing Heart Wood stated that it could only be replanted if the wood was not yet completely dried out.
If the wood was dried out, its value was not as high as that of undried wood; however, it could still be used as another type of material to cultivate mushrooms.
