Xiao Chenlong stood toe-to-toe with the Holy Lord, showing not the slightest sign of backing down.
When dealing with someone like the Holy Lord, he absolutely could not show weakness. The more he cowered, the more the Holy Lord would seize control over him.
"Boy, you will regret this."
The red light in the Holy Lord's eyes dimmed, and Xiao Chenlong opened his eyes as well. His Soul Power Level had ultimately stabilized at level 55.
At the same time, his flame power had further increased. It was even more terrifying than the so-called Extreme Fire of Douluo Continent, after all, this was the Innate Flame of the Fire Demon, the Holy Lord.
But the Holy Lord's brief awakening of consciousness also reminded Xiao Chenlong that he needed to put increasing his Spiritual Power on the agenda.
"Are you all right? And this sheep—she passed out the moment she appeared. I did not touch her."
"I know. Come back!"
Xiao Chenlong kicked Mei Mei Yang, and only then did Mei Mei Yang's soul reluctantly return.
"Meh..."
She bleated at Xiao Chenlong, expressing her displeasure.
Xiao Chenlong ignored her. Instead, he found the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, picked the dew from it, and swallowed it. Instantly, his mind felt incomparably clear.
"Mm, very good. As expected of an Immortal Herb."
Xiao Chenlong turned to look at Dugu Bo.
"Dugu Bo, you should have felt it too. The environment here can suppress the Spirit Poison in your body.
"And this environment can also make plants grow rapidly. Manage this place for now.
"At most, in a year, I will completely remove the Spirit Poison from your body. At the same time, I will give you a fortuitous opportunity as a reward for your contributions."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Saint Son."
Xiao Chenlong put Mei Mei Yang back into his Spirit Ring, then called Little Monkey over and left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
However, he did not return to Heaven Dou City. Instead, he and Little Monkey transformed into two Spinetail Swifts and flew in the direction of Nuoding City.
It was time to find Tang San and obtain the methods for making Hidden Weapons, along with the many Tang Sect Secret Methods.
When he arrived at Nuoding City, it was, after all, only a small city and not particularly bustling.
Although Holy Spirit Village was remote, it was not so obscure that nobody knew of it.
By the time Xiao Chenlong reached Holy Spirit Village, it was already night. Most of the villagers had gone to sleep, and Tang San was no exception.
Tang San was only a little over three years old, yet he already had to take care of Tang Hao's daily meals and living. Xiao Chenlong did not quite believe that Tang Hao had failed to notice something strange.
And seeing someone bound to him by a Blood Feud right before his eyes, Xiao Chenlong could not help feeling somewhat excited. Still, he suppressed that hatred.
He wanted to personally make Tang Hao suffer a fate worse than death, rather than borrow someone else's hand.
Xiao Chenlong activated the Goat Talisman's ability, using Soul Evasion. Tang Hao was completely unaware of his disembodied soul.
He could not touch Tang Hao no matter how many times he slapped at him, so he did not bother doing something so childish.
Xiao Chenlong's soul slipped into Tang San's mind and entered his Dream Realm.
Tang San's dream was rather interesting. In it, he had become the Tang Sect Master. Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, the Tang Sect Elder who had pursued and killed him appeared.
"Traitor!"
"Traitor!"
The repeated rebukes instantly turned Tang San's beautiful dream into a nightmare.
Tang San had no idea that someone else had entered his dream, much less that all the information concerning Tang Sect Hidden Weapons and Tang Sect Secret Methods had been obtained by Xiao Chenlong.
"Tang San, when you leave Holy Spirit Village in two years, I hope you will enjoy the role I have prepared for you. Heh heh heh."
After leaving Tang San's dream, Xiao Chenlong discovered that Tang Hao, who had just been drinking, had also fallen asleep.
Naturally, Xiao Chenlong would not let this opportunity pass. He entered Tang Hao's Dream Realm, expecting Ah Yin to be there.
But in truth, there was not even a trace of Ah Yin in Tang Hao's dream. Instead, Tang Hao was kneeling alone before the Mountain Gate of the Clear Sky Sect, begging forgiveness.
In the mind of this sect slave, his wife and son were simply not as important as the Clear Sky Sect.
What he regretted was bringing a near-catastrophic disaster upon the Clear Sky Sect.
"You sanctimonious bastard. Let me weave you a dream. Don't you want to repent? Then I will make you repent to your heart's content."
In Tang Hao's Dream Realm, the Mountain Gate of the Clear Sky Sect opened. Many Clear Sky Sect disciples ran out and immediately began cursing Tang Hao.
Their filthy insults were unbearably vile. When Tang Hao wanted to fly into a rage, he discovered that he had completely lost his strength.
"You still want to fight? Get him! Teach him a lesson."
Just like that, Tang Hao was beaten to death by the Clear Sky Sect disciples in his dream, only then jolting awake from the nightmare.
"Phew! Phew! How could this happen? No, it was only a dream. How could something like that possibly happen?"
After saying that, Tang Hao picked up the wine jug again and began drinking.
"Tang Hao, this is only an appetizer. We will meet again."
With that, Xiao Chenlong's soul returned to his body.
Little Monkey chirped something to Xiao Chenlong, and Xiao Chenlong smiled.
"You found it? Good work."
Xiao Chenlong and Little Monkey then found the waterfall and entered the Secret Chamber behind it, where they found Ah Yin's True Body and that Ten Thousand Years Later Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
"Haha, Tang Hao will probably be furious enough to cough up blood when he finds out."
After putting away the Spirit Bone and Ah Yin's True Body, Xiao Chenlong left Holy Spirit Village without hesitation. The next time they met would likely be several years later.
Xiao Chenlong returned to the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City and placed Ah Yin's True Body in his room as a potted plant.
Xiao Chenlong began absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, but the result was unexpected.
"It failed? My body is rejecting the Spirit Bone. Is this thing too low-grade? Is it the Holy Lord's influence?"
Although it was somewhat regrettable, Xiao Chenlong did not force it. Since he could not use it, he would leave it for now.
He still had the Tang Sect Secret Methods to study: Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Mysterious Jade Hand, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Purple Demon Eyes, Hundred Solutions for Hidden Weapons, and more. There was quite a lot to learn.
He could practice the others, while the Hundred Solutions for Hidden Weapons could be used to have people forge those Hidden Weapons as merchandise for sale.
Once Hidden Weapons entered the market, they would inevitably change part of the current Spirit Master World's landscape.
However, this matter was rather significant, and he could not make the decision alone. Thus, Xiao Chenlong wrote a letter and sent it to Spirit City.
Not long afterward, Xiao Chenlong received Qian Daoliu's reply. Its contents were simple: he was to discuss the matter with Qian Renxue and handle it accordingly.
Qian Renxue arrived the next day, and her first words nearly made Xiao Chenlong lose his composure.
"You are not joking, are you? You really made the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons from the story?"
"How could I joke about something like this? Take a look."
Xiao Chenlong took out the Silent Sleeve Arrow, Mother-Child Soul Chasing Life-Taking Gall, Sand Hidden Arrow, and Godly Zhuge Crossbow.
"They really exist!"
Qian Renxue picked up the Silent Sleeve Arrow and fired it toward the side. The triggering sound was faint, and the sleeve arrow shot out and embedded itself in a pillar.
"The power is not bad! What do you plan to do?"
Qian Renxue looked at Xiao Chenlong with great interest, her eyes shining.
"We will disguise ourselves as a force called the Tang Sect and sell these Hidden Weapons. I believe people will be willing to pay for them."
