My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2213: Chapter 2209: Low Grade Eighth Class

What Tang Ming wasn’t aware of was that the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod, due to its overly unique requirements, couldn’t be accessed by simply using Evil Qi, even if many people cultivated the Qiankun Nine Palaces Technique to activate the tripod. The reason was that those Evil Qi couldn’t provide a continuous stream necessary to enter the inner space of the tripod.

Tang Ming successfully established a bond with the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod through cultivating the Thousand Evil Poison Technique, utilizing its Evil Qi, making him not just a host, but the true owner of the tripod.

Elixir Liquid swiftly condensed within the Alchemy Furnace as beads of sweat covered Tang Ming’s forehead.

Outside, Zhao Jian, Zhou Mo, and others had long been impatient. After all, refining a single Heavenly Grass doesn’t require so much time. Only Gehou, who just returned, seemed lost in thought.

Among these people, the only ones familiar with the Qiankun Nine Palace Tripod were Tang Ming and Gehou.

Lan Yanyou merely knew that Tang Ming possessed a Treasure capable of absorbing people.

With a creak, the door slowly opened from the inside, and a weary Tang Ming stepped out.

"City Lord, why did it take so long for you to refine a single Heavenly Grass? If it were me, I would have succeeded in just a few minutes."

The usually impatient Zhao Jian voiced his question.

Tang Ming’s lips twitched slightly before he spoke, "I thought the effects of Heavenly Grass were too singular, and might not be effective, so I refined the Radiant Dew."

"Radiant Dew? What is that?"

Zhao Jian was taken aback and glanced at Guo Muye and Zhou Mo beside him, who both shook their heads.

Recently, though Tang Ming had imparted some Elixir Recipes to them, those were all very simple ones.

This Radiant Dew, judging by its name alone, wasn’t a simple Elixir.

"Radiant Dew, an eighth-grade Elixir, a supreme dispeller of evil. Have you become an eighth-grade Alchemist?"

Hu Mei’er approached Tang Ming with a look of surprise.

Tang Ming produced a Jade Bottle, inside which a silver-glowing Elixir appeared akin to an eye, blinking continuously.

Silence fell over the surroundings instantly. Zhou Mo swallowed hard, "City Lord, tell me this isn’t real. This is too demoralizing. How can your soul age be so small; why, tell me, why?"

Tang Ming chuckled, "If you work hard enough, you can succeed too. Come on, let’s check on that old lady."

Everyone nodded. While they could jest, the serious matters remained a priority.

The old crone possessed the ability to plant the Nightmare Curse, which meant she must have encountered a Nightmare Beast, a matter of utmost importance to Tang Ming.

The Radiant Dew, worthy of its status as an eighth-grade Elixir, required a low-grade eighth-class Alchemist to refine it. Upon ingestion, strands of silver light began to adjust the old crone’s body.

The old crone’s body trembled, and soon she opened her eyes.

"Grandma, grandma, you’re awake."

A small girl with a sallow complexion ran over and embraced the old crone.

The old crone opened her mouth, and Guo Muye, beside Tang Ming, quickly fed her a spoonful of prepared warm water.

After drinking some water, the old crone’s complexion improved greatly, "Child, it’s been hard on you."

"It’s not hard, it’s not hard. As long as grandma is alive, it’s not hard for me."

The little girl’s cries touched many of those present.

Tang Ming sighed a long breath, "Let her rest for now. Aunt Meng, help take care. We will inquire when her health has improved."

Zhou Mo nodded. After all, the old crone was a Nascent Soul Stage expert. With the Nightmare Curse dispelled, her strength should recover swiftly.

Just as Tang Ming expected, early the following day, Aunt Meng came to Tang Ming’s courtyard to find him. The old crone had recovered and wished to see Tang Ming.

After tidying up his clothes, Tang Ming followed Aunt Meng to the place where she and Nuoyi lived.

Due to Gehou’s presence, Aunt Meng no longer needed to manage Tang Ming’s courtyard.

She merely assisted the female companions who had come along this time to cook for Tang Ming and the others, making her days relatively relaxed.

With a gentle push, Aunt Meng walked through the door with a cheerful smile, "Old sister, our City Lord is here."

The old crone sitting on the bed nodded and swept her gaze over Tang Ming, slightly furrowing her brow, "Too weak."

"Do you mean in terms of strength, senior? But sometimes, strength doesn’t represent everything, does it?"

Tang Ming hadn’t expected such harshness from the old crone. He had saved her with his Elixir, yet she directly criticized his lack of strength.

"There’s some truth to that, but I advise you to return. Not everyone can dominate West Continent Town. My son perished trying to become the Town Leader of West Continent Town along with his wife. I almost died here too."

The old crone sighed deeply, speaking of her son and daughter-in-law, the sadness reflected evidently on her face.

"What? Your son was the former Town Leader of West Continent Town? What on earth happened? Where did you encounter the Nightmare Beast and become afflicted by the Nightmare Curse, senior?"

Tang Ming stood up, surprise mingled with excitement on his face.

If this old crone’s son truly was the former Town Leader of West Continent Town, she could provide him with a wealth of intelligence.

The old crone gazed at Tang Ming with complexity, able to comprehend his thoughts and noticing the anticipation in his voice. After a long pause, she spoke, "I wasn’t attacked by a Nightmare Beast, but someone used the skull of one to craft a Bone Staff."

"Oh, a Bone Staff made from a Nightmare Beast’s skull. So, you had a conflict with someone. Wasn’t your son the Town Leader of West Continent Town? Who was attempting to oppose him?"

Tang Ming looked towards the old crone with surprise, then asked.

From outside the door, Hu Jiusheng’s voice rang out, "I think I know who you are. I never expected you to end up in this state. Your son and daughter-in-law both perished? Those people truly are ruthless."

"Old fox, don’t pretend to cry crocodile tears. When my son sought your help, you didn’t support him. Are you planning to back this young man to become the Town Leader of West Continent Town? Do you think he can succeed with his strength?"

The old crone looked at Hu Jiusheng without any courtesy.

Hu Jiusheng didn’t get upset but smiled instead, "Bloodhand Old Lady, you’re wrong there. In the entire Taoyuan World, he’s probably the only one who can become the master of West Continent Town."

"Just because he’s an Alchemist and can gather people."

The old crone cast a surprised glance at Tang Ming.

She knew Hu Jiusheng well. He was never one to speak without reason. She was curious about who Tang Ming was when she arrived at Fox Spirit Mountain.
