PUA Tang San, Tang Yin's Path to Riches

After the interlude with Yu Xiaogang.

The group continued on their way back toward the dormitory building.

Xiao Chenyu was still eagerly suggesting that he could take the two bosses around Nuoding City this afternoon, claiming he was familiar with all the local spots.

Xiao Wu skipped along at the very front, already beginning to plot where she wanted to go play later.

When they reached the fork in the road near the dormitory area, Tang Yin made an excuse about taking Tang San to the library to read, parting ways with Xiao Wu and the others.

Having sent Xiao Wu and the rest away.

Tang Yin pulled Tang San toward the direction of the academy library, but on the way, he lowered his voice and spoke with a hint of distress.

"San, didn't Director Su say earlier that we could go to the Spirit Hall Branch to register and collect the soul master subsidy?"

"But as for me, I don't think I can go."

"Big Brother, what's wrong?"

Hearing this, Tang San immediately asked in a rush.

"It's about my Soul Power Level."

Tang Yin shook his head helplessly, lowered his voice, and said.

"In the Soul Hunting Forest, after I absorbed the soul ring of the Pale Thunder Silver Wolf, my soul power didn't just increase by a few levels."

"It broke through to level twenty all at once."

"I suspect it must be the influence of the one-hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone that Mother gave us."

"Soul bones are treasures in the world of soul masters."

"A one-hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone might even be useful to a Titled Douluo, let alone someone like me at the time!"

"It's just that back then, I was still a level ten soul master and hadn't absorbed a soul ring."

"So the soul power released by that one-hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone Mother gave us didn't manifest in my body immediately, not until I finished absorbing my first soul ring."

"Level twenty?!"

Tang San couldn't help but gasp, his eyes widening in shock.

A level ten soul apprentice absorbing their first soul ring.

Under normal circumstances, soul power would increase by one level, reaching level eleven as a soul master.

To jump straight to level twenty as a quasi-Soul Grand Master?

This was simply unheard of!

"Big Brother, this... this is a massive stroke of luck!"

After the shock, Tang San immediately turned to pure joy, lowering his voice to say excitedly.

"This means you'll be able to obtain your second soul ring very soon and become a Soul Grand Master! Your strength will far exceed those of the same level!"

"It's a good thing, yes, but the trouble is also significant."

Tang Yin shook his head and analyzed the situation seriously.

"Because it's difficult for us to hunt soul beasts alone, we currently have to rely on applying through the academy."

"But if I break through to level twenty immediately after absorbing my first soul ring, it's too hard to explain."

"Once people start guessing, they might realize we are carrying a supreme treasure."

"And the consequences..."

The joy faded from Tang San's face, his brows furrowing as he realized the severity of the problem.

He understood the principle that possessing a treasure is a crime in itself.

"Therefore, my true Soul Power Level must be hidden."

Tang Yin looked at Tang San, his tone firm.

"I can only say that I've cultivated to level twenty after a year or two!"

"I understand, Big Brother."

Tang San nodded heavily, his expression turning solemn.

"I will help you keep it a secret."

"If you can't go to collect the soul master subsidy, then I'll go collect it, and we brothers will use it together!"

"One Gold Soul Coin, if we spend it sparingly, is enough for us to live very well in the academy!"

Looking at his little brother's earnest expression, which carried a hint of "I can provide for the family" pride, Tang Yin found it somewhat amusing, though his goals went far beyond that.

Making money.

It might be a bit difficult for him alone!

But with his younger brother Tang San, Tang Yin had already thought of a way to make money!

"My silly little brother! What can one single Gold Soul Coin do?"

Tang Yin curled his lips and spoke.

"Huh?"

Tang San looked somewhat bewildered.

"Not enough? In Holy Soul Village, one Gold Soul Coin is enough for Grandpa Jack's family to live on for several months..."

"That's Holy Soul Village."

Tang Yin sighed, patiently explaining.

"We are Soul Masters now; we need to cultivate, we need to grow stronger."

"If we want to increase our cultivation speed, we need resources. Whether it's medicinal herbs to assist cultivation, soul power-infused food, or medicinal meals made from Soul Beasts, they all cost a fortune."

"One Gold Soul Coin is only enough for our most basic living expenses. Want to buy decent cultivation resources? That's just a drop in the bucket!"

"Then... Big Brother, what should we do?"

Tang San looked up, his eyes filled with confusion and a hint of urgency.

Although he wasn't slow-witted, when it came to making money, he had spent his past life as a Tang Sect disciple solely focused on hidden weapons and poisons, and having grown up in Holy Soul Village this life, he truly had no concept of it.

Tang Yin rolled his eyes, a "you know what I mean" smile appearing on his face as he leaned into Tang San's ear and whispered in a very low voice.

"Little San, I remember... among the Tang Sect's supreme arts, besides hidden weapons and poisons, there's also a section on pharmacology, right?"

"You know how to refine medicine, don't you?"

Tang San nodded subconsciously.

"I know a bit. The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record contains many pill formulas—some for healing, some for assisting cultivation, all sorts!"

Hearing this, Tang Yin's eyes lit up, and he chuckled.

"Then are there any that can regulate the body and improve one's complexion, or perhaps something that can make a person full of vigor for a short time, or... you know, help with 'that' aspect?"

As a transmigrator, Tang Yin was very clear about the consumer spending hierarchy from his past life.

Women > Children >> Elderly > Dogs > Men!

If you want to make money, you have to target women!

And if you want to empty a woman's purse, beauty and skincare products are the ultimate trump card!

Besides that, you have to find a way to empty men's purses too!

In Douluo Continent, there were no video games.

So, he would use those performance-enhancing drugs to rake in the cash.

By selling these medicines, he could also use the excuse of refining them with Whale Rubber to justify purchasing it.

In the future, the two brothers would be able to consume Whale Rubber daily to improve their physical constitutions.

"Big Brother, why do you want to refine these kinds of drugs?"

Tang San was stunned.

"It's simple!" Tang Yin's smile grew even wider.

"Of course, it's to make money! From now on, we'll refine two types of medicine!"

"One is for beauty and skincare, to sell to those noble young ladies and madams. The other... well, it's that performance-enhancing kind, to sell to those noble lords and young masters."

"By selling them through that kid Xiao Chenyu's connections, we'll absolutely clean up with both men and women and make a killing!"

"Ah?!"

As a little virgin, Tang San's face flushed bright red instantly, and he panicked.

"Big Brother! The beauty and skincare medicine is one thing, but that... that performance-enhancing kind, isn't that... a bit inappropriate?"

To this, Tang Yin patted Tang San on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Little San!"

"Our dream is to rebuild the Tang Sect and make the Tang Sect great again in this world, right?"

Tang San nodded heavily; this was the dream he shared with his big brother.

"You want to forge the Tang Sect's top-tier hidden weapons, like the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus, the Pear Blossom Needle in Rainstorm, and the Peacock Feather, right?"

Tang San's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.

"How many rare materials do those hidden weapons require? How much superb forging skill? How much money and time must be invested?"

Tang Yin's barrage of questions caused Tang San's excitement to gradually cool, and he fell into deep thought.

That's right! The dream is beautiful, but reality is harsh.

Without money, everything is just empty talk.

"So... what's wrong with it?"

Tang Yin frowned, put on a stern face, and began to manipulate him.

"We are making money fair and square; we aren't resorting to any underhanded tactics."

"These medicines are things that others need."

"We are helping people!"

"So, don't have any psychological burden about it!"

"This is all for rebuilding the Tang Sect, for helping you forge hidden weapons, and for making the Tang Sect great again."

"For such a great dream, what is a little sacrifice of face?"

After Tang Yin mentioned the Tang Sect, Tang San understood immediately, a look of shame appearing on his face.

"Big Brother thinks much further ahead than I do!"

"I was too caught up in appearances!"

"Big Brother is the true Sect Master of our Tang Sect; from now on, whatever Big Brother says, I will do!"

Tang San said in a firm tone.

"Good!"

Tang Yin patted Tang San's shoulder with great satisfaction and gave him his instructions.

"First, go to the Spirit Hall Branch to register and collect your spirit master subsidy."

"Then, we will buy the medicinal herbs and start refining medicine!"

"Listen to my arrangements, and with us brothers working together, our financial prospects will be absolutely massive!"

"Mm!"

Tang San nodded heavily.
