The southern room was quite large, consisting of three interconnected rooms. Only by entering the door could one see them. Each room was surrounded by cabinets, which were filled with a dazzling array of items. Many of these items were covered by cloths, but despite this, they still emitted different auras, and the rich essence energy likely came from them.
What a "little shop" this is!
The owner of the voice that had just spoken was now standing before them, none other than the physical education teacher, Mu Yunyu.
Mu Yunyu didn't even glance at Dubei, instead sizing up Tang San twice, "I've heard about your performance. It seems I've been too conservative with your physical training! You'll have to increase your workload tomorrow."
Tang San's lips twitched, and he said helplessly, "Alright, Sister Yu."
Mu Yunyu said, "Take a look. Our little shop has quite a few good things. Do you need me to introduce them to you? But there are annotations under each item, so you can look on your own."
Tang San quickly replied, "I'll look on my own, no need to trouble Sister Yu."
Although the items in this world were somewhat unfamiliar to him, the Divine King's discernment was no joke! Besides, there were annotations, so good items wouldn't escape his perception.
Just as Tang San was about to start looking, Dubei suddenly started limping, "Sister Yu, I seem to have pulled a muscle today. Can I take a day off tomorrow?"
Mu Yunyu said indifferently, "Get lost. You don't have money to buy anything, so don't be an eyesore here."
Dubei struggled, "Sister Yu, I'm the mascot. You should be nicer to the mascot."
Mu Yunyu said disdainfully, "Your meager luck won't affect me. We'll talk when you break through to the sixth rank. Although I always think you might never break through in your life."
Dubei's lips twitched, "Sister Yu, that's not right. Why can't I break through? I definitely can."
"Stop talking nonsense and get lost. Don't make me feel annoyed by looking at you."
Dubei said helplessly, "Alright, Sister Yu, I'll leave first." In this academy, he really couldn't afford to offend anyone!
Watching him leave, Mu Yunyu shook her head helplessly. In the academy, if one were to judge who had the strongest天赋妖神变 (talent for demonic transformation), it would be hard to say. But if one were to judge by potential and rarity, the Heavenly Fox Transformation was definitely the top. Even among all the demon races, the Heavenly Fox's Eye was one of the most supreme existences. The High Priestess of the Heavenly Fox was one of the top figures in the Ancestral Court.
Unfortunately, Dubei's bloodline was relatively thin. Perhaps it was also because humans found it difficult to excel in this area, so his cultivation of the Heavenly Fox's Eye was really slow. The academy actually provided him with the most resources and had the highest expectations. Dubei almost didn't need to complete any tasks to obtain the best resources in the academy. Yet, he still hadn't broken through to the fourth rank.
Of course, if he could break through to the fourth rank, he would be on a different level. A fourth-rank Heavenly Fox's Eye could do far more than what it can do now.
Dubei left, and Mu Yunyu returned to the main room, sitting in a chair and flipping through a book. Tang San, on the other hand, began browsing the "little shop."
He started with the leftmost room. Most of the items in this room were plants, with simple annotations below.
Almost all were various spirit herbs, detailing what kind of energy they contained and what effects they had. Each was clearly priced, and the prices were quite high. The more precious and suitable for general cultivation, the more expensive the spirit herbs were.
Since coming to this world, Tang San had never taken any spirit herbs. But in his previous life, he was known for his knowledge of spirit herbs. The Tang Sect he founded was particularly skilled in the field of medicine. Even in his previous life, his knowledge of medicine was very high, as recorded in the Xuantian Bao Lu.
However, the spirit herbs in this world of spirits and demons were quite different from those in his previous and previous lives. Perhaps it was because of the existence of spirits and demons in this world. But spirit herbs were still spirit herbs, and many of their characteristics had similar effects. As Tang San looked through them, he evaluated and compared them in his mind. Just reading the annotations of these spirit herbs was very helpful, giving him a better understanding of the species in this plane.
Mu Yunyu glanced at him three times during this period, each time noticing that Tang San was looking at the items in the little shop very seriously.
For a nine-year-old to be so composed, it surprised her, and she couldn't help but nod in approval.
When Dubei first came here, his first question was what was the most expensive, his second question was what could make him advance directly. His third question was never said, as he was kicked out by Mu Yunyu.
Tang San, however, didn't ask anything from start to finish. He thoroughly looked through all three rooms. It wasn't until the dinner bell rang outside that he was jolted awake.
"Dinner time, I'm closing. Is there anything you want?" Mu Yunyu asked.
Tang San said with some regret, "Sister Yu, I haven't finished looking. Can I come back tomorrow?"
Mu Yunyu nodded, "Of course. The little shop is always open. You can come anytime. As a new student, you can choose one item worth one Lingxi Coin for free."
One Lingxi Coin had considerable purchasing power outside, but here, there weren't many items worth less than one Lingxi Coin.
"Alright, thank you, Sister Yu. I'll go eat first and come back tomorrow to choose." Tang San left with a satisfied look.
He never expected that his biggest gain today would be from the little shop, which greatly increased his understanding of the species in the spirit and demon world.
Dinner was still abundant, but there was no demon beast meat, which wasn't easily obtained. Tang San heard from Dubei that even if they hunted a demon beast, it would usually be sold to Jialin Academy. Jialin Academy would pay for it, which was one of the important sources of income for the academy town.
After dinner, Wu Bingji and Cheng Zicheng arrived as scheduled. When Wu Bingji saw that Tang San had also invited Cheng Zicheng, she was somewhat surprised but only smiled at Cheng Zicheng without saying much.
Tang San poured them each a glass of water and they sat down in the living room.
Wu Bingji said, "Tang, I'm very interested in your compressed wind blade and the way you control it to fly. Is it purely controlled by mental power, or is there a technique involved?"
Tang San replied, "Compressing the wind blade is definitely the result of mental power combined with one's bloodline power. The method of shooting the wind blade is more about technique, with some mental power control as an aid."
"Mainly technique?" Cheng Zicheng looked at him in surprise. Everyone thought that Tang San had very strong mental power, which allowed him to control the wind blade so precisely, but he didn't expect him to say it was mainly about technique, which was indeed unexpected.
Tang San nodded, "Mainly technique, which I developed." His words were somewhat ambiguous, but saying he developed it himself wasn't wrong.
The Tang Sect's secret techniques were indeed incredibly skillful, but they didn't reach the level of what Tang San achieved in his previous life. After all, in his previous life in the Tang Sect, he had no magical abilities and no concept of mental power control. In his previous life in the Douluo Continent, he combined the Tang Sect's secret techniques with mental power, which greatly enhanced the techniques and increased their power. This wasn't something that could be achieved overnight, and it was a valuable asset he brought from his previous life.
