My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2161: Chapter 2157: Testing the Departure

This cultivation technique does not conflict with the Thousand Evil Poison Technique he practices. Thousand Evil Poison Technique requires poison to improve cultivation and does not need to use Immortal Energy for cultivation.

However, the Qiankun Nine Palace Technique requires the combination of Immortal and Evil Qi to condense the Power of Life for cultivation.

Immortal Energy is everywhere in Taoyuan World, but Evil Qi is hard to find. According to the Qiankun Nine Palaces Technique Jade Scroll, Evil Qi is a rare thing in Taoyuan World, and once obtained, it must be cultivated to rapidly form the Qiankun Nine Palaces Technique.

Many past practitioners of Qiankun Nine Palaces Technique have given up due to the lack of Evil Qi.

But for Tang Ming, the lack of Evil Qi is not a problem at all. The Thousand Evil Poison Technique he practices has accumulated a lot of Evil Qi in his body, and combining those Evil Qi with Immortal Energy to operate the Qiankun Nine Palaces Technique is surprisingly smooth.

In just half an hour, Tang Ming felt that his strength had improved a lot.

Just as Tang Ming wanted to take out the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod to see what effect this small tripod had, Hou Mang pushed the door open and walked in.

"Master, you’re here again. What are you making this morning? Let me assist you."

With a full-faced smile, Fatty Gao came to Tang Ming’s side.

Tang Ming felt a bit surprised in his heart that these Sea Shark Gang disciples were as usual, neither vigilant nor hostile towards him.

Could it be that these guys still don’t know that their leader, Wang Song, has already died at Meng Liang’s hands?

"No need, you go about your own business. I’m just making some simple dishes. Let’s keep breakfast light, according to the old rule, put it on my tab, and someone will settle the account when we leave."

Tang Ming began selecting ingredients in the warehouse next to the cafeteria.

Seeing Tang Ming ignoring him, Fatty Gao could only nod and stand aside, hoping to learn something while Tang Ming was cooking.

Tang Ming didn’t mind Fatty Gao trying to steal culinary skills. After all, his culinary expertise was similarly stolen from Li He.

Six dishes, one soup, accompanied by ten full steamers of buns.

Knowing well that Meng Liang and the Hou family brothers, these three Banshan Sect disciples, could eat, Tang Ming deliberately made more.

When he returned to the courtyard with the meal boxes, Meng Zhong happened to return, and when he saw Tang Ming, he grinned: "Tang Ming, you’re cooking again."

"Brother Hou asked me to make breakfast. After breakfast, we’ll set off. I’m not busy anyway. This is the only skill I have."

Tang Ming laughed as he followed beside Meng Zhong.

Listening to Tang Ming’s words, a smile appeared on Meng Zhong’s face; having to leave quickly meant their actions last night were surely successful.

Earlier, Meng Zhong went to visit Tian Huansheng, and from Tian Huansheng’s mouth, Meng Zhong learned about the Sea Shark Gang’s backing in Tianpo City.

This wasn’t good news for Meng Zhong, so he rushed back immediately; fortunately, things here were successful. Moreover, judging by the expressions of the Sea Shark Gang disciples and Tang Ming, it seemed like the matter hadn’t been leaked yet.

"Young master, I’m back."

Meng Zhong walked into the small living room, and Tang Ming followed with the meal box.

"Hmm, sit down, let’s eat and talk, Tang Ming, you sit too."

Meng Liang nodded, pointing to a chair on the side.

Tang Ming had been planning to leave, but fearing Meng Liang would be suspicious of him, he nervously sat down: "Brother Meng, try the buns I made. These are a type of pastry from my hometown in the Lower Realm, similar to the pies in Taoyuan World."

Meng Liang took the steamer from Tang Ming and nodded. It was the first time he’d seen this type of pastry. He took a bite of the bun, and its juicy filling and vegetable stuffing instantly captivated his taste buds.

"Delicious. Delicious. You all should try some too. These things called buns are truly tasty."

Meng Liang quickly stuffed the entire bun into his mouth, saying with shining eyes.

Hou Mang and Hou Qiang seemed a bit stunned before grabbing buns to eat. Paired with the dishes Tang Ming made, the meal was once again merry.

After eating and drinking to their heart’s content, Tang Ming stood up to clean the dishes, but Hou Mang stopped him.

"Brother Tang Ming, do you know about last night’s affair?"

Hou Mang was observing Tang Ming’s expression.

Tang Ming looked surprised: "Last night? Brother Hou, can you finish your sentence? If you don’t say what it is, how would I know?"

"Hahaha, Brother Hou, don’t ask Brother Tang Ming this way. I’ll explain."

Meng Liang felt Tang Ming wouldn’t be aware of what they’d done, so he straightforwardly explained things to Tang Ming.

"It’s not that we didn’t want to take you along, but your strength is too weak, and the shopkeeper from the Sea Shark Gang we wanted to deal with was too strong. You would easily get hurt if you went."

Meng Liang explained.

Tang Ming nodded: "I understand. Brother Meng Liang, you did it for my good. My strength is a drag on you all."

"Don’t say that at least you’re a great cook. Yesterday, after fighting for several hours, eating your dishes relieved half of my fatigue. Here’s the Spirit Stone we got yesterday. You’re following us to West Desolation City, and you’ll need Spirit Stones to cook for us, so keep them."

After taking out a bag of Spirit Stones from the Storage Ring, Meng Liang handed it to Tang Ming.

Without hesitation, Tang Ming directly stored the Spirit Stones into his Storage Ring: "Thank you, Brother Meng."

Seeing Tang Ming stash away the Spirit Stones and then quickly start cleaning up the dishes with full-faced smiles, Meng Liang nodded in satisfaction.

A bag of Spirit Stones could buy Tang Ming’s loyalty, not just for drawing in a subordinate, but from a sense of personal satisfaction for Meng Liang.

"This guy is not bad."

Seeing Tang Ming leave the dining area, Meng Zhong chuckled and said.

"Yeah, at least adorably naive, just the kind I need. But Uncle Zhong, we didn’t get any good stuff last night; all we got were Spirit Stones."

Meng Liang sighed, complaining.

Hearing Meng Liang’s words, Meng Zhong raised his eyebrows: "Can’t be, I heard the Sea Shark Gang’s Gang Leader had stayed here a long time before. If there were no treasures, why would the shopkeeper act so anxiously?"

"Yes, I thought so too, but we really didn’t find any treasures. Uncle Zhong, would you go over again?"

Even though Meng Liang doubted there were treasures in the room, he was still very unwilling.

After a long silence, Meng Zhong shook his head: "You guys didn’t find the treasures, and even if I went, it would be pointless. I think it might be related to the Manager. He kept you entangled without alerting the other Sea Shark Gang members. I really didn’t expect the Sea Shark Gang to have someone like this who would sacrifice their life for the gang. Let’s go."
