Tang Hao Became My Cash Machine?! Could the Mystic Jade Body Form Soul Rings on Its Own??

Gu Qing's eyes darted as he thought, If I don't go to the academy, how am I supposed to get Whale Dragon, that thing that improves physical fitness? He immediately put on an eager-to-learn expression and said,

"Uncle Hao, that won't do. I heard the academy has many books about Soul Masters, as well as information on all kinds of martial souls. I want to learn more and understand this world better.

"And there will be lots of people our age at the academy. We can learn from each other too."

Tang Hao frowned. Though he was powerful, he knew absolutely nothing about theoretical knowledge like that. Fighting was all he was good at—a brute and an illiterate.

Gu Qing paused, then continued,

"How about you come to Nuoding City with us too, Uncle Hao? You could open a Blacksmith Shop near the academy. Tang San and I can attend classes during the day, then train with you after school. Nothing gets delayed that way. Isn't that perfect?"

Tang San nodded repeatedly beside him. "That's a great idea, Dad. Come to Nuoding City with us. We can take care of Brother Gu Qing together."

Gu Qing pressed on, "Oh, right, Uncle Hao. Tang San and I will need money for the academy. Could you prepare some Gold Soul Coins for us? Tang San is still growing. She can't eat too poorly.

Tang San immediately nodded in agreement. "That's right. Brother Gu Qing is right."

Tang Hao stared at Gu Qing, utterly dumbfounded.

Fuck! This brat's calculations are way too precise!

I have to teach him cultivation and earn money for him to spend?

So I'm not only a free teacher, but also a free bodyguard and cash machine?

And I have to watch my own daughter fawn over him every day?

When has Tang Hao ever suffered such humiliation in his life?

Tang Hao was so furious that his beard nearly stood on end. Just as he was about to refuse, he saw Tang San looking at him with utter disdain.

"Dad, you're a Soul Master and you've lived this long. Don't tell me you don't even have a few Gold Soul Coins. What's wrong with you?"

"I don't care. You have to figure something out and give Brother Gu Qing one thousand Gold Soul Coins first. He needs to buy lots of things for cultivation. I need to take good care of him."

Tang Hao: "..."

Ten thousand alpacas galloped through his mind.

A thousand Gold Soul Coins? Why don't you just rob me?

Do you think Gold Soul Coins blow in on the wind?

What a sin! What a damned sin!

Tang Hao looked at Tang San's unwavering expression. In the end, he gritted his teeth and nodded through his tears. "Fine. I'll find a way. I'll scrape together one thousand Gold Soul Coins for you. I'll go to Nuoding City with you too."

"Wonderful! Thank you, Uncle Hao!" Gu Qing immediately beamed.

Awesome! This is incredible!

Not only do I have a Titled Douluo as a free bodyguard and teacher, I also have one thousand Gold Soul Coins in startup funds!

Life couldn't get any more comfortable than this!

At dinner, Tang San kept putting meat into Gu Qing's bowl, nearly emptying her own bowl of food.

Tang Hao sat across from them, watching his daughter fuss over Gu Qing. His heart felt sour as he picked at his plain rice, with no appetite for the dishes at all.

That night, Gu Qing returned to Old Jack's house. He had just washed up and was about to go to bed when he heard a soft knock at the door.

"Brother Gu Qing, are you asleep?"

It was Tang San's voice.

Gu Qing froze.

Why had she come over so late?

He opened the door and saw Tang San standing outside, holding a little pillow in her arms and looking at him with sparkling eyes.

"Brother Gu Qing, I want to sleep with you."

Gu Qing: "!!!"

He was so startled that he nearly slammed the door shut.

Fuck! Good brother, don't do this!

I don't want the thing stabbing me in the back to be a knife—no, wait!!!

Tang San is a girl now!!!

Even though your body is female, your heart is still male!

If this gets out, won't I get branded as someone from Chengdu?

Gu Qing hurriedly waved his hands and said with a solemn expression, "Little Tang San, no. You've grown up now. You can't sleep with your brother anymore. Girls need to be more reserved."

Disappointment immediately appeared on Tang San's face, and her little lips pouted.

"Why? We used to sleep together when we were little. I just want to be closer to Brother Gu Qing and feel your aura."

Gu Qing sighed inwardly.

Of course, he knew that the aura of the Mystic Jade Body attracted her.

But no meant no.

If they really slept together, he would never be able to clear his name, even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Be good. Listen to me. We still have to go to the back mountain to train tomorrow morning."

Though Tang San was extremely reluctant, she still nodded. "All right. Good night, Brother Gu Qing."

With that, she left, looking back with every few steps.

Gu Qing watched her retreating figure, let out a sigh of relief, and quickly shut the door.

That scared me to death. That was way too close to becoming a disaster.

Early the next morning, before the sky had even brightened, Tang San dragged Gu Qing to the back mountain.

They returned to the same rock where they used to bask in the sun.

Tang San looked at Gu Qing with utmost seriousness. "Brother Gu Qing, today I'll teach you every cultivation method I found. You have to study them well."

"Okay."

Gu Qing nodded, his heart surging with excitement.

It's happening!

The Tang Sect's ultimate arts are finally mine!

Tang San took a deep breath and began explaining the Mysterious Heaven Skill to Gu Qing word by word, from the first layer all the way to the ninth, holding nothing back.

After she finished, she personally demonstrated the cultivation route once.

"Brother Gu Qing, try cultivating the second layer first. Ask me if there's anything you don't understand."

Gu Qing nodded and began circulating his Soul Power according to the method Tang San had taught him.

The moment he activated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he felt a smoothness several times greater than before.

The compatibility between the Mystic Jade Body and the Mysterious Heaven Skill was simply one hundred percent!

Soul Power flowed through his body as naturally as water flowed through a river. In just a quarter of an hour, he broke through the barrier of the first layer and entered the second layer directly.

Moreover, his cultivation speed was a full three times faster than before!

His strength increased dramatically again, and his skin became even smoother and more jade-like. What delighted him even more was that the Soul Power cultivated through the Mysterious Heaven Skill had perfectly fused with his Mystic Jade Body martial soul.

Gu Qing vaguely felt that if he continued cultivating at this rate, his Body Martial Soul might produce soul rings on its own without needing to hunt soul beasts!

Tang San stood beside him, watching the jade-colored glow around Gu Qing grow brighter and his aura become increasingly pure. Her eyes widened round.

My heavens! My heavens!

This cultivation speed is way too fast!

He reached the second layer in just a quarter of an hour!

It took me a whole three months to break from the first layer into the second!

Just as expected! The Mystic Jade Body and the Mysterious Heaven Skill are a match made in heaven! Brother Gu Qing truly is the chosen one!

Gu Qing finished his cultivation and opened his eyes, his face full of excitement. "Tang San, I broke through to the second layer! It feels amazing!"

"Brother Gu Qing, you're incredible!" Tang San looked at him with worship in her eyes. "Next, I'll teach you Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Purple Demon Eye, and Mystic Jade Hand."

Over the following hours, Tang San taught Gu Qing every ultimate art of the Tang Sect.

What shocked Tang San was that Gu Qing learned everything absurdly quickly.

When cultivating the Purple Demon Eye, he reached the first realm in only half a quarter of an hour and could see the patterns on an ant dozens of meters away.

For the Mystic Jade Hand, it took only the time it took to burn an incense stick before his palms became as hard as stone. He could pick up a rock from the ground and crush it with a squeeze.

As for Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he mastered their basic forms in less than half an hour.

Tang San stood nearby, dumbstruck.

What kind of heavenly talent is this?!

When I cultivated these, which one didn't take me months or even years?

This made little Tang San so jealous she could die!

The sun gradually rose, and golden sunlight spilled across the back mountain.

After finishing his final round of Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Gu Qing stopped. Feeling the surging power within him, he could not stop the corners of his lips from rising.

With the Mystic Jade Body, the Tang Sect's ultimate arts, and Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus, it was time to start seriously planning for the immortal herbs.

Tang San smiled as well when she saw Gu Qing's high-spirited appearance.

She walked over to Gu Qing and handed him a handkerchief. "Brother Gu Qing, wipe your sweat. We should go register at the academy now. Grandpa Jack should be waiting for us."

"Okay." Gu Qing took the handkerchief and casually wiped away his sweat.

The two of them headed toward the village together.
