Chapter 57

The star power cleansed by the Sun Main Star is lively, expansive, and highly flexible.

The star power cleansed by the Moon Main Star is restrained, gentle, and very easy to control.

Whether it is the Sun or the Moon, both are the most ideal main stars for forging talents. However, Ban Yilou did not expect that Tang Zheng would have such fine star power control ability!

Such extreme star powers, in his hands, moved up and down, coordinating seamlessly.

"How is it going?" Tang Zheng looked at his finished product and asked.

"Very good! Excellent!" Ban Yilou quickly收回目光, pointed to the silk thread, "Next one, if possible, try to go a bit faster. The faster the speed, the stronger the silk's resilience will be."

"Wait a moment..." Tang Zheng took two deep breaths, "I need to recover my strength."

For some reason, after processing one seven-colored silk thread, it felt like he had just gone through a major battle.

His entire body's star power was weak and exhausted, and he needed to rest and recover before he could process the next one.

Ban Yilou's eyes widened: "Really? Just one and you can't go on?"

Tang Zheng almost flipped the table: "At your age, can you speak properly? What do you mean by 'can't go on'!"

Ban Yilou's gaze swept past him and looked at the star phenomenon rising behind him.

That half-black, half-white flowing star, the harmoniously coexisting Sun and Moon star powers, could be said to be a phenomenon that even the renowned craftsman Lu Huang would envy.

However, the brightness of the star was clearly not intense enough.

Ban Yilou only needed one glance to determine that Tang Zheng had just recently entered the mid-stage of the first star.

"Such a pitiful thousand or so strands of star power, and you still come to process high-end goods like seven-colored silk. It's no wonder you're exhausted to death." Ban Yilou put away the seven-colored silk and did not give Tang Zheng the chance to process it again.

"Is my star power not enough?" Tang Zheng asked.

"Of course not!" Ban Yilou replied.

"..." Tang Zheng realized that this was likely a serious problem that could not be avoided!

Just like in blacksmithing, no matter how skilled the blacksmith is, if he can't swing the hammer, it's all nonsense.

No matter how fine his star power control, it couldn't change the fact that his total star power was insufficient.

"What should I do?" he asked.

"Seven-colored silk is the easiest material to process among what you bought. For a first-star, you need at least three to five thousand strands of star power to process silk that is bright, continuous, and of high quality and speed!"

Three to five thousand strands of first-star star power, roughly equivalent to the high stage or even the peak of the first star.

Tang Zheng estimated that if he continued to practice at his current speed, it would take another year or so...

After a year or so, whether the people from Bai Lian Workshop who made the bet with him were still in Wulong Town, or whether they still remembered the bet, was a big question!

Strength...

It's strength again!

Without enough strength, every step is difficult.

Just like a level 1 player in a game, no matter how god-like their skills, they can't defeat a level 90 boss.

However, in the game, there are at least gold farmers who can help the main player level up. But this is not a game, and no one can help him level up...

Strength is indeed a troublesome issue!

While Tang Zheng was thinking about this serious problem, Tang Xiaotang ran in, pointing at the flyer and saying, "Master, Master, someone wants to buy..."

"Yan Sui Dan!" Tang Zheng said the name of the first item on the list without looking at what Tang Xiaotang was pointing at.

"Huh?" Tang Xiaotang was taken aback, "How did you know?"

Ban Yilou was surprised.

He looked at what Tang Xiaotang was pointing at, and it was indeed Yan Sui Dan!

Yan Sui Dan is used for warriors who are bedridden due to severe injuries. By stimulating star power and rebuilding the body from the inside out, once successful, the warrior's cultivation speed will be faster and their physique stronger. However, it has a high failure rate of 70%, depending entirely on the individual's will!

In short, this is a pill that requires a desperate attempt to seek a glimmer of hope!

People who need this pill, once they have the chance to buy it, will not hesitate. Even if they treat it as a last resort, they will definitely buy it first.

Therefore, Tang Zheng knew that Yan Sui Dan would definitely be the first item sold.

"Yan Sui Dan is sold for two and a half purple gold in the inner cabinet, but you priced it at ten!" Ban Yilou put down the casting notes and said.

Tang Zheng seemed not to hear what Ban Yilou said, pulled out the purple gold token from his neck, and hung it around Tang Xiaotang's neck: "Xiaotang, go with the old man to get the goods!"

Tang Xiaotang looked troubled: "But... there's... a bit of a problem."

"What problem?" Tang Zheng asked.

Tang Xiaotang looked at Ban Yilou, "The buyer can't afford ten purple gold!"

...

Tang Zheng followed Tang Xiaotang outside and immediately saw a woman in coarse clothes standing there quietly.

Although the woman was dressed simply, she could not hide her delicate features and graceful figure.

People around her were constantly pointing and whispering.

"That's Old Zhao's wife, she wants to buy Yan Sui Dan!"

"Yan Sui Dan? Ten purple gold? Tsk, it's a good thing they can afford it..."

"But why does she need Yan Sui Dan? What happened to the Zhao family?"

If this were in another place, such a question could be seen as concern.

But in Wulong Town, this question had only one meaning—whether Old Zhao was about to die and whether it was time to start thinking about his property and his wife.

"Didn't you know? Old Zhao was hunting a python on the mountain yesterday and was severely injured. The python skin was also taken by the Yin Lan Manor. Now he is in a life-or-death situation..."

"Without Yan Sui Dan, he won't survive the night..."

"But it's too expensive! Ten purple gold! Tsk tsk."

"Shh, it seems the person in charge is coming out..."

"Is he from Tang Family Castle? I've never seen him before..."

"Guest master? Who knows..."

As soon as Tang Zheng came to the door, he immediately drew many gazes. He quickly scanned the crowd and noticed that the servants of Yin Lan Manor were all gone!

Could they feel embarrassed standing in front of Tang Family Castle's carriage?

No, this was not the situation he wanted to see!

"Master, what are you looking for?" Tang Xiaotang saw that Tang Zheng's gaze did not land on the main person.

"Oh, nothing." Tang Zheng moved his gaze back, "So she wants to buy Yan Sui Dan?"

The woman in coarse clothes bowed slightly: "My husband needs Yan Sui Dan to save his life, but we only have eight purple gold. I hope this young master can lower the price a bit..."

Ban Yilou also came out, with a look of watching the show, to see if Tang Zheng would prioritize selling the goods or stick to his "integer obsession."

"Is that so?" Tang Zheng said with difficulty, "For a merchant, price is a principle issue!"

"Well said." Ban Yilou clapped in his heart.

Tang Xiaotang nodded in understanding.

Just as she was about to let the woman leave, she heard Tang Zheng secretly ask, "What kind of person is Old Zhao? Do you know?"

Tang Xiaotang was taken aback: "I've heard a bit. He is said to have second-star strength, with a group of brothers who live by hunting fierce beasts. They have a hard temper and rarely interact with others, and they have had conflicts with Yin Lan Manor. But we don't know much more..."

The woman, seeing that Tang Zheng and Tang Xiaotang were chatting and not paying attention to her, thought it was hopeless. She bit her lip, lowered her head, and undid her top: "I am from the Yao Mountain tribe. If I were unmarried, I would be worth twenty purple gold. Today... although I am already married, two purple gold should still be worth it. If this young master takes me in, I will serve you like a cow and a horse, working hard and without complaint..."

Everyone was shocked to see the pink peach blossom birthmark on her shoulder, unique to women of the Yao Mountain tribe!

They never expected that the unremarkable Zhao family man would have a wife from the Yao Mountain tribe, known for producing beautiful women!

Then, they all looked at Tang Zheng with envy...

But Tang Zheng only glanced at the pink peach blossom birthmark and shook his head.

The crowd's eyes widened: "A beauty from the Yao Mountain tribe! Two purple gold is not a loss!"

Tang Zheng still shook his head.

The woman's lips trembled slightly, and the determination in her eyes finally turned to despair...

But at that moment, Tang Zheng's voice suddenly came: "Today, our Tang Family Castle's Treasure Gathering Pavilion is starting its agency business, offering a discount to customers. All items will be sold at 80% of the original price, for one day only, and the offer will expire at midnight tonight..."

The woman looked up in surprise, her eyes almost piercing through Tang Zheng!

At 80% of the original price, she would have just enough to buy it...

And she wouldn't have to sell herself!

She almost flew to Tang Xiaotang's side, took out eight purple gold coins, and handed them to Tang Xiaotang.

"Master said to only take a partial deposit," Tang Xiaotang smiled and took one of the coins, "The rest will be paid upon delivery."

With these words, many others who had been waiting also ended their hesitation and asked, "Can I also pay 80% and only a deposit before seeing the goods?"

Ah Zhi, standing nearby, said impatiently, "Our master said the offer expires at midnight, so of course it's 80% before midnight."

In a short time, four more people selected their items and paid the deposit.

Tang Xiaotang took the deposit back to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion: "Master, didn't you say that price is a principle issue?"

Ban Yilou had a look of "This is exactly what I wanted to ask."

Tang Zheng smiled: "Yes, price is a principle issue. But did I ever tell you about a technique called promotion?"
