Chapter 257: Spiritual Fluid
Tang Lang, who returned to Zuo Xiaowei's camp, only had time to say hello to Zha Hongtu, and set a time for discussion ten days later, so he went to the palace alone to receive the materials he needed for his upgrade.
After explaining their intentions, although several white-clothed officials were reluctant, they still led Tang Lang to a side hall in the palace to fulfill the emperor's promise to him. After all, he still has a chance to face the saint alone, and if he participates in a book in front of the emperor, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
Opening the door of the side hall, a strong spiritual power rushed to the face, Tang Lang just smelled it a few times, and felt that his cultivation had risen a little, and he was suddenly surprised: "This is?"
A white-clothed internal official said in a tone of looking at the turtle: "Where is this? Tianlan Imperial Palace! To improve your cultivation, how can you use those methods that are not in the flow of the outside world! Pills and spiritual herbs are not advisable! This is a spiritual liquid pool modeled after the spiritual spring inside the Dragon Pool, and the outermost pool of spiritual liquid is specially ordered by His Majesty to be mixed for you, which is enough for you to be promoted to the sect level, so hurry up and get in!"
Tang Lang did not enter the side hall, but untied his armor at the door.
"You, what are you doing? You dare to take off your clothes and armor in the palace, it's immoral!" the white-clothed officer exclaimed.
"What's the panic, I won't take them all off!" Tang Lang, who was only wearing a pair of close-fitting shorts, raised his head and said without mind: "Several of you are my witnesses, I only have a pair of shorts now, and I don't have any storage equipment on my body, so that I won't be framed and said that I am greedy for the spiritual power of the royal family!"
"What do you mean by that? Are we going to frame you?" asked a white-clothed official, grimly.
Tang Lang spread his hands: "Anyway, I don't care, I have already made you see clearly, I will go in now to absorb spiritual power, you can guard the door, don't leave, don't let people in, otherwise you will leave your post without permission!"
No matter how many people were trembling with anger, Tang Lang locked the door with a "bang", jumped into the spiritual liquid pool lightly, comfortably absorbed the pure spiritual power in it and began to advance, leaving only a few people outside to peep at each other.
"System, help me estimate how many grades of this spiritual fluid can impact me?"
"The master curses the martial practitioners, and the spirit vortex has been crystallized, and the demand for spiritual power is more than ten times that of ordinary people, and these spiritual liquids can be consumed at most when the master reaches three to four grades!"
"Three or four grades, whatever, absorb it first!" Tang Lang didn't think much about it, he focused all his mind on the operation of spiritual power, frantically grabbing spiritual power, the spiritual liquid slowly descended at a speed visible to the naked eye, the momentum on his body was rising steadily, and one after another spiritual vortex blue spiritual vortex formed in the dantian and mind.
Several white-clothed officials were bored in front of the side hall door, not daring to leave a single step, as Tang Lang said, if something happened, and they happened to be absent, it was easy to be held accountable for dereliction of duty, but for Tang Lang to protect the law, several people felt unwilling.
Just when a few people were muttering about to find Tang Lang to offend, the door of the side hall opened from the inside with a "creak", and Tang Lang walked out with a displeased face.
"It's not that the spiritual liquid is enough to advance to the sect level, why am I already gone when I reach the fourth grade of the division level! Is it that someone deliberately cut corners and took the spiritual liquid that belonged to me to fill my own pockets, fortunately, I didn't have anything when I entered just now, otherwise I wouldn't have suffered a dumb loss. Let's go, follow me to His Majesty's commentary!"
"How is it possible? This spiritual liquid was prepared by us and the others with our own eyes, it is enough for one person, don't spew blood!" A white-clothed official denied it, but when he rushed into the side hall to take a look, he was immediately stunned: "What...... How so?"
Inside the small hall, there was only a semicircular pool made of white jade, and the pool that was originally full of turquoise spiritual liquid had disappeared. In order to preserve the spiritual power, this side hall did not even have a breathable hole except for the door, and Tang Lang really had nothing before entering.
A white-clothed internal official also reacted at this time, why did Tang Lang deliberately verify himself before entering, he must have been deliberately making trouble, but it was already too late, and he had already fallen into his trap.
"Tang Lang, what do you want?" A white-clothed internal official in the lead could only endure his displeasure and discuss with Tang Lang how to deal with the aftermath.
"I don't want to do anything! I just want to advance as soon as possible, in ten days, I will have an appointment with the other two ten household chiefs, there is no time to delay, hurry up and hand over the spiritual liquid you have hidden, otherwise I can only find Your Majesty to theorize!" Tang Lang turned over and over with a request.
"What should I do?" Several white-clothed officials were helpless, this spiritual liquid was not trivial, every drop had to go through layers of approval and registration, and could only be reported truthfully.
Shao leaning, a gloomy, slightly older white-clothed official rushed over, after asking about the situation, after carefully looking around Tang Lang, the vulture asked: "Tang Lang, although I don't know how you exhausted the spiritual liquid, but I want to tell you: this spiritual liquid is extremely precious, even the royal family can only allocate more than ten pools every year, and can use one of them for you, it is already the emperor's grace, if you don't know what to do, you have to deliberately make trouble, once you get to Your Majesty, I'm afraid Lord Cha won't be able to protect you!"
"Oh, threaten me? I'm honestly cultivating, and I'm provoking anyone! Obviously, someone is pretending to be a public servant, how can it turn out that I am deliberately causing trouble! What are you afraid of when you make trouble with Your Majesty, I also have this intention, don't go, follow me to see Your Majesty!"
Tang Lang was a fool at this time, and while making a lot of noise, he grabbed the sleeve of the white-clothed internal official and was about to walk out.
"Presumptuous! Pull and pull, what kind of system!" Several people suddenly tore into one place, attracting a team of palace guards.
"Don't you want to live anymore when you dare to fight privately in the palace?" the leader of the guards shouted, and the rest of the guards all tensed, ready to take down a few people for questioning.
Tang Lang lay down on the ground and cried loudly: "Someone is finally here! I'm so wronged, I'm wronged......"
"What the hell is going on?" the leader of the guards snapped. All the palace guards are from the children of the royal family, and they belong to a different system from the white-clothed internal officials controlled by the Wu clan, and they usually don't have a good impression of these vultures.
A white-clothed internal official carefully told the ins and outs of the matter, pointed to Tang Lang, who was still crying on the ground, and said: "This person is the one who wants to use tricks to corrupt the spiritual liquid, and if we find out, he will be sprinkled here, and he must be punished severely!"
"You bloody mouths!" Tang Lang stood up from the ground, naked, and stood on the ground barefoot: "Brother guard, look at me like this, is there a place to hide things all over my body? I argued with them for a few words, first threatening, and then swarming me and beating me, I really don't know if this is the palace or his Wu compound?"
Tang Lang's last sentence was a word-for-heart, which frightened the faces of several white-clothed officials, and they refuted loudly together, causing trouble again.
"Shut up, calm me down!" the leader of the guards was so loud that he roared again to stop him.
"Since you both have your own opinions, and it is related to such a precious thing as spiritual liquid, the only way to do this is to leave it to Your Majesty to decide! Go, follow me to face the saint!" The leader of the guards was impartial and prepared to take all the people to see the emperor himself.
"Wait!" The old white-clothed official who had secretly done his hands and feet when he entered the Dragon Pool before heard the inquiry: "How dare you alarm Your Majesty with this little matter!" Tang Lang, don't you want the spiritual liquid to be upgraded, I still have a pool of spiritual liquid for you here, this is what Your Majesty rewarded me to the Wu clan a few years ago, so I will give it to you today!"
"It's not a gift, it's a compensation!The spiritual liquid that can be promoted to the sect level is greatly reduced, even if it is not your private collection, it may be because of poor preservation that causes the spiritual power to pass, so it is right to compensate me!" Tang Lang held a grudge against this person, and refused to let go of even a word.
Two fine lights appeared in the eyes of the elderly white-clothed officer, and he stared at Tang Lang viciously for a long time before he said leisurely: "Young man, there is still a long way to go in the future, and it is better to be a more generous person!"
"I've always been generous to people, but there are always people who want to trouble me!" Tang Lang replied.
The old white-clothed internal official no longer quarreled with him, but walked into the side hall next to him, raised his hand and waved out a large piece of emerald spiritual liquid, which poured into the white jade spirit pool without falling, turned around and said: "A few guards, we have already negotiated with Tang Lang, it is inconvenient to stay here for a long time, and I also ask a few people to help him protect the Fa, so as not to be excused by him again and leave!"
All the white-clothed internal officials left, and Tang Lang pouted and said, "I can't afford to play like this, it's boring!" A few guard brothers, wait a while, my promotion is very fast, and it won't take long!"
Tang Lang also slipped into the side hall, leaving only a few guards with wide eyes.
"Aren't we on patrol, how did we turn into a protector for him?" the head of the guards couldn't turn his mind.
"Boss, it seems like this! Things are changing so fast that I don't understand it!" replied one of the guards in a whisper.
"Wait a minute, let me take a ......"
Tang Lang was soaked in the spiritual liquid again, and the spiritual power in his body was running rapidly again, and the spiritual liquid for one person was used up again in a few hours, and his cultivation was only worthy of the seventh grade of the division.
Stretching his waist greatly, Tang Lang jumped up, feeling the explosive power in his body, and couldn't help but let out a long roar, the crystallized spirit vortex was a few points darker than before, and the flow of spiritual power in the meridians was also extremely slow because of the crystallization, if you didn't look closely, you would think it was solidified.
But as long as there is a slight urge, the spiritual power can quickly burst out with surging power, and the strength has more than doubled compared to before.
"It's worth it! Although he has not been promoted to the sect level, but the current strength is easy to deal with ordinary sect-level masters, the next two competitions, I must give you some colors to see, Brother Mantis is not a soft persimmon!"
