“Grand... Grandmaster Yun, it’s all a misunderstanding!” The old man said fearfully.

Then, he turned to Tang Hao and said, “Storekeeper Tang, I was blind to not recognize your status earlier. Please forgive me for my offense!”

After he finished speaking, he dragged his grandson downward.

“Kneel and apologize!”

The young man gritted his teeth. He was extremely reluctant, but he eventually went down on his knees and kowtowed three times.

In this world, the strong preyed upon the weak. The young man thought that he could easily bully that kid because he had the backing of the Tianlu Merchant Guild, but that kid had suddenly turned into a certified pill maker with the backing of the academy.

He could not longer bully the kid, but the kid could easily deal with them.

The burly men also kneeled on the ground and kowtowed.

Their faces were pale, and their bodies were trembling.

“Please forgive us for our ignorance, Storekeeper Tang!”

They kowtowed and begged.

Tang Hao looked at them and said coldly, “Who attacked my Brother Liu just now?”

The few of them looked at each other and pointed at one of them.

That person was so scared that his face turned pale, and he trembled even more.

“Please spare my life, Storekeeper Tang!” He kowtowed desperately.

“Which hand did you use? Chop it off and get out of my sight!”

Hearing that, the man gritted his teeth, took out a saber, and chopped off his right hand.

“Storekeeper Tang, thank you for not killing me!”

He kowtowed heavily again, pressed on the wound, and staggered away.

Losing only one hand was a far better outcome than losing his life.

“As for the rest... you had a lot of fun smashing up my store, right? Slap yourselves one hundred times and get lost!” Tang Hao looked coldly at the other people.

Those people did not hesitate in raising their hands and slapping themselves.

Following that, Tang Hao swept his gaze toward the grandfather and grandson.

The two people were visibly uneasy when they met Tang Hao’s gaze.

They had wholly intended to kill Tang Hao just now, so it was no big deal if Tang Hao wanted to kill them. The Tianlu Merchant Guild was nothing compared to the academy.

Tang Hao also pondered if he should kill them.

He eventually decided that money was more important. With more money, he could acquire more resources.

“As for you two... pay me five hundred million crystals, and we’ll call it even,” Tang Hao said.

“Five hundred million?”

The old man’s eyes widened.

“Why? Is it too much?” Tang Hao said coldly.

“That sounds like a bargain if you ask me!” Yun Cang said while glaring at the old man.

The old man wanted to argue, but he instantly changed his mind when he heard what Yun Cang said. “No, it’s not too much! I’ll send the money over another day... No, I’ll send it over the day after tomorrow.”

“Alright! You guys can get lost now!”

Tang Hao waved his hand and shouted.

The two of them helped each other up, feeling relieved as though they had received a royal pardon. They quickly scuttled back to their carriage and hastily left the scene.

“Haha! What losers!”

The crowd on the street immediately burst into laughter.

“Congratulations, Storekeeper Tang!”

One after another, they came up to Tang Hao and congratulated him. The atmosphere on the street was incredibly festive.

Everyone was very excited and proud that Storekeeper Tang, a citizen of Nanping City, had become a respected pill maker and received the dean’s commendation.

“Senior Yun, since you’re here, why not drop by my house? It’s not far ahead!” Tang Hao said.

“Alright!”

Yun Cang smiled and nodded.

The crowd escorted Tang Hao and Yun Cang to Ritian Valley.

Tang Hao seated Yun Cang and went to fetch a few jars of liquor. The moment he placed the jars on the table, a rich fragrance spread out.

“What’s... what’s this?”

Yun Cang trembled, and his expression suddenly changed. His pair of eyes stared eagerly at the jar in front of him.

Even his breathing became faster.

“This is called divine liquor! What do you think, Senior Yun?”

“Divine liquor? Wonderful! Incredible! The fragrance alone is intoxicating. The taste must be divine!” Yun Cang exclaimed.

“Try it, Senior Yun!” Tang Hao pushed a jar toward him.

Yun Cang took a sip, and his eyes instantly widened. Then, he gulped the contents of the jar without stopping.

“This is unbelievably delicious! Could this be the nectar of the gods?”

After finishing the jar, he wiped his mouth and exclaimed.

“I’m happy that you like it. You can take some back! Also, I plan to market this in the future, but I’m afraid that it’ll bring trouble.”

“That’s true!” Yun Cang nodded.

Most cultivators enjoyed alcohol, and every other brand of liquor available on the market was pure garbage compared to divine liquor. Many merchant guilds would definitely want to get their hands on the recipe.

“Don’t worry about it! With the academy behind you, no one would dare have any wise ideas!” After pondering for a moment, he said.

“Thank you very much, Senior Yun! Please take as much divine liquor as you want.”

Tang Hao was delighted.

Before he had the support of the academy, he dared not market divine liquor because cultivators were easily obsessed with alcohol, and that might bring him trouble. Things would be a lot easier with the academy backing him.

He hurried to bring more jars of liquor and gave it to Grandmaster Yun Cang.

“This is amazing!”

Yun Cang drank without any restraint. After a few jars, he was starting to get tipsy.

While they were drinking, they heard a commotion outside. The city lord of Maple City had arrived.

“My sincerest apologies, Grandmaster Yun. I was unable to personally welcome your arrival!”

“Storekeeper Tang, I’m surprised to hear that you received the pill maker certification in the test this month. I’ve prepared a gift for you. Firstly, I want to congratulate you. Secondly, I want to apologize for what happened with the Tianlu Merchant Guild. Please forgive my shortcomings.”

Behind him, a group of attendants brought in large crates.

Soon, the people from East Peak Mountain, the White Horse Tribe, and all the nearby factions rushed over to visit Grandmaster Yun Cang and Tang Hao, the prodigy.

They had known that Tang Hao was talented, but they did not expect that he was so outstanding. At the age of twenty-one, he received the pill maker certification and the dean’s commendation.

Even a level-four grandmaster pill maker had to escort him back to town.

With his incredible talents, Tang Hao would be a level-four or five pill maker in the future. That was why they wanted to congratulate him personally.

Even Cloudcore Valley sent a delegate over. It was none other than Fu Yun.

The news spread rapidly and shocked the borderlands.

“Damn, that Tang Ritian is quite amazing!”

Everyone who heard the news was shocked.

The name Tang Ritian became more and more famous.

His name gradually spread across the entire southern region. Everyone knew about that prodigy named Tang Ritian.

He had an incredible affinity, he was a master in herbology, and he even knew a spiritual pill technique. Everyone knew about his exploits during the certification test.
