In the cultivation room of Tang's Elixir Pavilion, Tang Feng was voraciously devouring Tao Crystals.

Strands of mysterious Dao Rhythms were produced and swiftly melded into Tang Feng's body.

Meanwhile, a strange tension arose within him, like the breathing of nature, sometimes thunder, sometimes lightning, sometimes storm, sometimes earthquake, and sometimes torrential rain.

A world was evolving within Tang Feng's body.

Marvels kept manifesting.

The mysterious Dao Rhythms grew stronger and stronger.

When all the billions of Tao Crystals were absorbed, a buzzing sound erupted within, all bones resonated, meridians quivered, and bloodlines transformed.

Tang Feng felt as if he transcended the universe, like an observer watching the world below.

Suddenly, the rules within him radiated brilliant light, enveloping his entire being in those rules.

At this moment, from deep space, an energy descended from the heavens, directly infusing into Tang Feng's body.

The whole city shook.

Someone had ascended to the Tao Realm?

Numerous powerful cultivators appeared one after another.

Some even tried to get close to the shop, hoping for some benefit, but unfortunately, the formation blocked them, and they could only sigh with admiration.

Yet Tang Feng's breakthrough continued for a whole hour without ending.

The two Tao Realm powerhouses in the city were stunned.

When they broke through, it was no more than three minutes, which was already quite good, and the longest recorded was merely a quarter of an hour.

Oh heavens, half an hour was expected to be enough, but another half an hour passed before that divine light gradually faded.

Wait, where was the Heavenly Tribulation?

How could there be no Heavenly Tribulation!

All cultivators could not remain calm; this was impossible.

Unless there was an elixir that did not require undergoing the Tribulation.

If there truly was one, it would indeed be monstrous.

They must curry favor, not just for the elixir, but the time to absorb the divine energies alone would make them kneel sweetly.

Thus, everyone went back to prepare a generous gift, planning to visit when the Dan Pavilion opened.

In the City Lord Mansion, Ji Gang paced back and forth. As a Tao Realm powerhouse, he naturally understood how terrifying the breakthrough of the shopkeeper of Tang's Elixir Pavilion was.

This person had only recently arrived in Fengqing City, with a mysterious background. He believed such a person would not stay here for long.

Moreover, he could foresee his future being quite terrifying.

If he could make an acquaintance with such a powerhouse, it would certainly pave a new path for the future.

But what to bring as a gift?

If only Lan'er were here, that clever girl had lots of cunning ideas. Something too ordinary would definitely be declined by the other side; what he considered precious might be worthless in their eyes.

Headache.

What could leave a lasting impression?

Should he perhaps offer that item?

Well, let's hope this investment isn't a dud; he's bound to leave Fengqing City eventually.

Meanwhile, Tang Feng felt refreshed—a Tao Realm power!

Just like that, it passed.

Easy, relaxing, that's how awesome I am.

Tang Feng slept soundly that night.

He had truly shed his mortal coil now.

The world within his dantian had grown more than twice as large, and those Divine Temples morphed once again into altars exuding an ancient aura.

Tang Feng ventured into the world within, toured the newly expanded space, and found that after the breakthrough to Tao Realm, a breath of life had appeared.

It was as if the entire world had come alive; needless to say, with it present, Tang Feng's strength was enough to crush opponents of the same realm. The next day, the Divine Puppet opened the door on time, only to find a long queue had already formed outside, each person holding items.

"Hello, we are merchants from Fengqing City, hoping to meet your shopkeeper." The person at the front had quite a strong presence and was a leader of a merchant team.

"Sorry, the shopkeeper is not seeing guests today."

"We'll leave these things and come back to visit tomorrow." Unable to refuse the Divine Puppet, they left their items and went away.

As a result, things piled up at the door.

The Divine Puppet felt helpless; they clearly said not to receive gifts, but they just wouldn't listen. Not only that, they bought quite a few elixirs and left.

Tang Feng watched their actions from inside, finding it amusing.

People are mercenary; they all want to latch onto something beneficial to themselves, which is quite normal.

Of course, Tang Feng wouldn't return these gifts; he accepted them all. Unexpectedly, there was a lot of medicinal herbs, some being particularly precious.

It turned out to be a profitable little venture.

In the afternoon, City Lord Ji Gang came knocking, leaving Tang Feng no choice but to meet him.

It's still important to give face to the city lord, especially since he is Ji Lan's father.

"Sorry to disturb, I am Ji Gang. I have matters to discuss with the shopkeeper. I wonder if he is available?"

"Mayor Ji, please come in."

The Divine Puppet led him directly to Tang Feng's office.

Seeing Ji Gang, Tang Feng stood up, "Mayor Ji, honored guest, forgive me for not welcoming you from afar."

"Shopkeeper, don't mention it; it's me who disturbed you."

"It's no bother, I'm very pleased to have the mayor visit." Tang Feng said with a smile.

"Actually, my uninvited visit is because I have a request, hoping the shopkeeper could assist."

"Oh, Mayor Ji, please tell me. After all, if it's something I can't do, I dare not promise blindly, wouldn't you say?" Tang Feng replied.

"It's regarding my daughter. Since you possess alchemy skills, you must have some knowledge of the Alchemy Dao. I'd like your help to check her injury. Of course, if not possible, that's alright." Ji Gang said with apprehension.

"Is your daughter Ji Lan?"

"Uh, how did you know?" Ji Gang stood up excitedly, as it had been a long time since he heard news of her.

"I met her, and gave her an acupuncture treatment; she should be fine for a few years. However, due to some matters, we parted ways, and she should be returning soon." Tang Feng said.

"That's great, thank you."

"You're welcome, I received my share of the deal." Tang Feng joked.

No amount of bargaining chips could bring back life.

This is an item I obtained from a Secret Realm. I never discerned what it was; I'd like to give it to you, fellow cultivator.

"Thank you, this is indeed useful to me. When Ji Lan returns, just send her over to the shop, Mayor Ji." Tang Feng said.

"Alright, then I'll take my leave."

Ji Gang did not linger, after all, he and Tang Feng were not familiar, and he came to ask for a favor, not to freeload.

After accomplishing his goal, he departed, leaving an impression of not being clingy.

Interesting.

Tang Feng opened the box, inside was a bead and a map.

He recognized it as a Breakthrough Pearl, and it was several times better than the one he previously acquired.

With it, aside from Tang Feng's formation, passage would be unhindered.

Entrusting such an important item to him meant Ji Gang was truly generous. However, Tang Feng always believed that things gained without effort were never truly beneficial.

A wonderful life is created with one's own hands.

Tang Feng felt a sense of sentimentality; an unknown world and powerful people awaited him—Tang Feng had arrived.

Tang Feng stowed away the Breaking Realm Ball, realizing something important hadn't been done. In a flash, he exited the city, next appearing in the starry sky.

In the distance, there were beastly roars.

His eyes gleamed, and he immediately flew over.

Shortly after, he returned to the shop contentedly.

In his hands were several Beast Core essences.
