Zhang Tiannan pondered as he walked out of the Zhang Mansion. Previously, when he was breaking through, he felt that taking Wangzai's small steamed buns and Wangzai's QQ candy had little effect on increasing his strength in the Martial Master Realm. He was afraid that it could only increase his cultivation by one level in the Martial Warrior Realm. Thinking about it, it was normal. Normal Martial Warrior level pills contained less Yuan Qi for Martial Masters. The efficiency of consumption and the cost-performance ratio were not as fast and high as high-grade pills.
However, the snacks in Store Manager Mo's grocery store were much better than other Martial Warrior Realm elixirs. Although they were expensive, there was no poison residue. Previously, when he broke through to the Martial Master Realm, he would need to take about four times to increase his cultivation by one level. That was one level per month. Although it was expensive, it was still very fast.
After passing through the streets and alleys, he arrived at the entrance of a three-story store. The three floors were luxuriously decorated. Inside, there were red lights. At the entrance stood two women in revealing clothes, constantly calling out to the passersby. Some Martial Warriors kept looking at the bodies of the women at the entrance, their faces flushed.
The plaque at the entrance had the words "Hua Man Lou" written on it. It was obviously a brothel. Zhang Tiannan knew that Fatty Tang often hung around here and drank with prostitutes, so he did not go to the Tang Mansion. Instead, he went straight here. After thinking about it, among the other direct descendants of the four big families, only Fatty Tang had not broken through. Moreover, the Zhang and Tang families were on good terms. In addition, Zhang Tiannan and Fatty Tang could be considered friends who had gone through thick and thin together. They were of the same age and cultivation. Previously, Zhang Tiannan was at the peak of the Ninth Level, while Fatty Tang was at the peak of the Eighth Level. It wasn't that Fatty Tang's innate talent wasn't good. On the contrary, his innate talent was extremely good. It was just that this guy was like a playboy every day, indulging in wine and women all day long. He was relatively lazy in his cultivation, which led to his cultivation not being able to keep up.
However, the Tang Family Head had two sons. Fatty Tang, also known as Tang Ran, was the second son of the Tang Family Head. Tang Ran also had an elder brother, Tang Lin, who was already a rank four Martial Master at the age of 19. The two brothers of the Tang Family had outstanding talents since they were young. Moreover, their uncle's family only had daughters. If the Tang Family's branch did not have outstanding talents, they would not be put in an important position. In other words, the two brothers were the heirs of the great Tang Clan. It could be said that they were afraid that they would melt in their mouths. They were like treasures in their palms.
In addition, his eldest brother was one year older than him, and his cultivation was also at the top. The younger generation of the other branches of the Tang Family could only look up to him in the dust, and he was regarded as the next successor of the Tang Family. Then, Tang Ran and Fatty Tang had it easier. They had been playing and cultivating since they were young. Her temper had also changed. Anyway, if the elders wanted to discipline her, didn't they have my brother? One sentence from him would make them speechless.
In addition, Tang Ran's cultivation had not lagged behind too much, so he had been indulging himself until now. However, Fatty Tang's current days were not going to be easy. As the third generation of the Four Great Clans broke through to the Martial Master realm, his good days were coming to an end. After all, there was a limit to how much the elders of the Four Great Clans could tolerate him. In a few days, he would be brought back to the Tang Family and thrown into seclusion. He would not be able to come out until he reached the Martial Master realm.
Zhang Tiannan had just walked to the entrance when the two sharp-eyed women in front of the door immediately surrounded him. It was because of their good eyesight that they were arranged to stand at the entrance.
"Young master Zhang, you haven't been here in a long time. We missed you so much."
"That's right, that's right. Since young master Zhang is here, you should have a good drink."
The two of them surrounded Zhang Tiannan and chattered for a while. When they finally reached the entrance, Zhang Tiannan pulled away their hands.
"I'm here today to find Fatty Tang. Do any of you know where he is?"
Although Zhang Tiannan and Fatty Tang had come to drink wine a few times, they were purely drinking wine. They were not like Fatty Tang, who was always using his hands and feet. However, although Fatty Tang liked to take advantage of women, he would not take it a step further. A clan like theirs would not allow a woman from a brothel to enter. Fatty Tang understood this.
"Second young master Tang, he's on the third floor of the Fragrant Flower Pavilion." One of the women said.
After knowing where he was, he did not delay and quickly walked up the stairs. He still had business to attend to.
The third floor was where Hua Manlou entertained important guests. Generally, the first floor was for ordinary people to play. The second floor was used to entertain loose cultivators and people from small clans. The third floor was used to entertain important guests, powerful cultivators, and people from large clans in the city.
Pushing open the door to a room on the third floor of the Fragrant Flower Pavilion, Tang Wulin saw a woman playing the zither in the hall. In the inner hall, there was a big round table surrounded by four women. Each of them was charming and moving. They were holding fruits, pastries, and wine cups on the table. Each of them was feeding Fatty Tang.
"Oh, young master Zhang, what brings you here? You're a rare guest. Come, come, sit down. Why did you think of drinking wine today? Yan 'er, Ling' er, why haven't you filled our young master Zhang's cup with wine?" Seeing that it was young master Zhang who pushed open the door, Tang Ran called the two women beside him to pick up a cup and fill it with wine. This guy was a rare guest. Normally, he would not come even if they called him. He only knew how to cultivate.
Zhang Tiannan's appearance was not bad. His eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were sharp, and his black hair fluttered in the wind. His body was robust, and he was wearing a black martial robe. He had a heroic aura. But Fatty Tang was different. He had a round face, two curved eyebrows, a big belly, and a brocade robe. In short, there was only one word to describe him: fat. If Mo Tiankong was here, he would definitely recognize this familiar face. Wasn't this the Maitreya Buddha? Apart from the fact that his ears were not particularly big.
"Fatty Tang, I must have something to tell you today. This old brother has an opportunity for you." Zhang Tiannan came to the table, picked up the wine cup, and drank a mouthful. He then waved his hand, indicating the women around him to leave the room.
"What opportunity?" Seeing Zhang Tiannan wave his hand to drive away the maids, he asked while chewing on a piece of osmanthus cake.
"Didn't I go out to train? When I came back, I saw a shop."
"It seems like you only went out for a few days. Did you break through your cultivation? What shop? Is it the new Flower Hotel? How's the star brand compared to Flower Manlou's?" After hearing the words' shop ', Fatty Tang's eyes lit up. He was interested and quickly asked.
"Scram, it's a grocery store. However, the things they sell are very mysterious." Zhang Tiannan's forehead was filled with black lines. Fatty Tang, you should be more careful. He casually circulated his Yuan Qi, and his aura fluctuated slightly. Then, he took the wine bottle and poured himself a cup of wine.
When he heard that it was a grocery store, he was a little disappointed. However, when Zhang Tiannan released his aura, he was still shocked. From the aura just now, he could tell that Zhang Tiannan was a grade two Martial Master. But a few days ago, he was still a peak grade nine martial artist. How did he break through two grades in just a few days? Did he find some kind of divine pill? Or some kind of heavenly treasure? Combined with what he said about an opportunity, could it be … Hehe … Fatty Tang thought for a long time, but he still couldn't think of the grocery store.
"Young Master Zhang, don't hide it. If you have something good, just take it out," Fatty Tang said with a flattering smile.
"Hehe, I've used it all. However, there are still things for sale in that grocery store. You should know that after I tested them, I'll tell you first. Isn't that enough?" Zhang Tiannan smiled. He thought to himself that even if he didn't use it all, he couldn't give it to Fatty Tang for free. The things in the grocery store were good, but they were expensive. Zhang Tiannan didn't have as much pocket money as Fatty Tang. How could he drink wine every day?
"But I can take you there. Aren't you lazy? The snacks there can improve your cultivation for a short time without any side effects. There are even snacks that can clean up the accumulated drug toxins in the body, heal internal injuries, and cleanse the body. The main point is that they're delicious. The only drawback is that they're expensive," Zhang Tiannan said lightly.
"Young Master Zhang, oh no, Brother Tiannan, does that store really have the magical snacks you said? They can perfectly improve cultivation for a short time, and they're delicious?" Fatty Tang looked at Zhang Tiannan with a burning face. As for the price, it was normal for good things to be expensive. Anyway, he wasn't short of money. However, when Fatty Tang really went there, he would probably cry. The price was extraordinarily expensive.
This was because during this period of time, his father had specially pulled him aside and scolded him. The children of the four major families in Sentry Town had basically all broken through to the Martial Master Realm. Fatty Tang didn't do proper work all day. He had talent but didn't cultivate properly. He had already been left behind. If this continued, the Tang family's face would be lost. He was going to wait until the closed-door cultivation room was empty before throwing him in. Fatty Tang was used to being lazy. How could he stay there? He was also anxious in his heart.
"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow morning. Then I'll leave first." Seeing that Fatty Tang was a little anxious, Zhang Tiannan didn't tease him anymore and set a time. He picked up the cup of wine and drank it in one gulp. Then, he turned around and went out.
This time, it was stable. When his cultivation improved, he could do as he pleased again. Fatty Tang thought happily in his heart. Then, he walked out of the room and went downstairs to pay the bill. Then, he hurried back to the Tang family.
Within the Zhang Mansion, there was a courtyard. This was Zhang Tianan's residence. Normally, when a member of the Zhang Family reached the age of 15, they would be allocated their own residence for cultivation. Of course, only the direct descendants, those who had made great contributions to the family, or those who had outstanding talent, would be allocated the courtyard of the main residence. Those who weren't outstanding would be sent out for family matters. Of course, they wouldn't be in the main residence.
In the evening, the silence in Zhang Tianan's courtyard was broken. The lackey who had gone out to scout opened the courtyard door and knocked. Then, Zhang Tianan, who had changed his clothes, appeared at the door. However, his face was still bruised and swollen, and his eyes were mostly less swollen. Although Zhang Tiannan had beaten him into a sorry state, it was actually just some flesh wounds. After returning to the courtyard and using some healing medicine, he was much better.
"Did you get the news?" Zhang Tianan asked expressionlessly. Then, he turned and entered the room.
The lackey outside the door was discerning. Seeing that his master's complexion was still so bad, he didn't dare to say anything. He directly followed Zhang Tianan into the room and reported the news he had heard.
"You're saying that after Zhang Tiannan returned from his training, he bought three things from that super grocery store. It's suspected that he took them and then went into seclusion to break through?"
"That Wangzai Small Steamed Bun or something like that can perfectly raise one's cultivation, temper one's body, cleanse one's marrow, and increase one's aptitude," Zhang Tianan said with a gloomy face.
"Young Master, what I said is absolutely true. I even personally went to the store to check. The effects of the three items were clearly stated, but only for martial artists." The lackey looked at his young master's face and trembled as he spoke.
"Alright, scram."
"Yes, Young Master. I'll take my leave first." Like a lackey who had been pardoned, he hurriedly turned and left.
Super grocery store? Interesting, interesting. Zhang Tianan closed the door and muttered a few words. It was better not to go out for the next few days. His face hadn't completely recovered.
