25 Crow Mouth.

Tang San and Xiao Wu also went to their rose suit as they too are tired.

What they didn't know was that the whole Rose hotel was Tang Ming's. And even nearby all the hotel in the vicinity was all owned by Tang Ming. He knew about the event, where they would fight in a hotel, so he bought all the hotel in this area as he is over the top rich.

Tang San and Xiao Wu didn't know how rich Tang Ming is. Tang Ming's monkey wine business was already booming at second year of Nuoding Academy.

At that time his business already developed to all the nearby cities. He can be called the wealthiest person in the whole of nearby cities and his assets are still growing.

And by all the money he earned and saved during 2 years, he bought a huge plot of land in capital of Heaven Dou Empire, he established his wine business headquarters, which he named ' Immortal's Love '.

He also established branches in all the four sub-ordinate kingdoms and all the famous cities.

As he didn't need to produce wine by normal means, he just hired people for management and supplying purposes.

He introduced three types of wine in the market which he named Jade Wine, Sage Wine and Monkey Dew Wine, from cheaper to expensive respectively.

Jade Wine doesn't have any effect or anything particular to talk about as he had diluted the original monkey wine with water in a ratio of 2:10 but what makes it different from the other wine present in the market its unique sweet taste and quality of the wine. It can be easily afforded by commoner or anyone as it was very cheap.

Sage Wine can be said to be wine made for distinguished nobles who is rich. This wine has a very mellow and sweet taste and is quite addictive and strong. Only people with spirit power can drink more than a single bottle . It has also been diluted with water in a ratio of 3:10 to 5:10. It also has a effect to calm one's mind. Even if you taste it once, you can't help but don't like any other wine. Tang Ming has deliberately added this effect so that he can add rich and big customer to his new business. A single bottle of the lowest concentrated wine that is 3:10 cost a minimum of 100 gold coins and the strongest one that has the concentration of 5:10 cost approximately 1000 gold coins.

And last the Monkey Dew Wine, this is the original concentrated wine with a very little dilution that is inthe ratio 9:10. This is one strong wine and also probably the only wine with a sweet taste. Only spirit king or above can drink more than a single bottle, any lower and you will be in the seventh heaven after taking a sip. It's also the most expensive wine there is in whole market as a single bottle cost more than 10,000 gold coins. The main consumer of this wine can be said to be royals of both empire , spirit hall or people who is in the top clans.

He launched only Jade Wine and Sage Wine in the market at first. As the cost of Monkey Dew Wine is very high and his Immortal's Love's goodwill hasn't reached that point where people would buy wine that costly.

The two wine was a hit as the stock that he stored in his headquarters was sold in only six months which he expected to at least last for a year.

He kept selling these two wine for one and a half more years, which made Immortal's Love quite famous throughout the kingdom.

Only last year did he launched the Monkey Dew Wine.

Many people criticized him for the absurd cost of one bottle. But it's stock also started to empty as soon as some people from the big clans started buying it. Even Spirit Hall contacted him to make a deal to provide them with Monkey Dew Wine.

And it is certain that popularity brings trouble. Many people wanted to rob, but his strength was already enough for him to fight anyone lower than Spirit Sage with only his first spirit ring and lightning manipulation. His speed can even easily surpass anyone in whole of the Empire. And after adding his second spirit ring and Qilin Spirit which he can use with his Spear Spirit, his strength can easily multiply by three times. So basically he can fight and win anyone below Spirit Sage level. His physique alone is at the same level as a Spirit Sage.

He also saved some people who in gratitude pledged their loyalty to him by swearing to heavens.

And he also have to say that his luck is quite good in that department. He once saved a couple that was going to be killed. He met them by accident in Spirit Dou forest.

What happened is that some people poisoned a couple and was going to rape the women in front of his husband. And it just happens that he was there to hunt for second spirit ring and was chasing a spirit beast. There were four people who were opposite of the couple, three of them were Spirit Emperor and one was Spirit Sage. Seeing that he was passing by, the husband asked for help and even promised to do anything as long as he save his wife.

He saved them without any other motive as it was a matter of convenience for him. But later found out that they both were Spirit Douluo and their clan has just been annihilated by their rival clan, so they were escaping from them. And in their way they trusted a person who betrayed their trust and poisoned them. If not for being poisoned they would have easily killed them all.

And the husband was grateful to Tang Ming as he just saved his wife from a very cruel incident. So they pledged their loyalty and take an oath, that they will serve him for the rest of their life as a payment. He didn't know what to do with them. He asked them what they are at best in.

The women told him that she can do management work and his husband is good at business dealings.

So he assigned the couple as the acting Leader and vice president behind the Immortal's Love and gave them all the freedom to do hire people they think that can help and further grow his business. He already trusted them because as a person sensitive to other people's emotions, he knew that they were genuinely grateful and wanted to serve him.

So now all the people in the Empire knew that the couple were the second-in-command. He also asked him to hire other workers and possibly recruit as much spirit master as they can.

He also recruited two another level 89 Spirit Douluo who were very old and were friends. They were at their last years. He met them when he was promoting Immortal's Love with the couple around the Heaven Dou city. They were looking to get a job in Immortal's Love because of the privilege that is provided to the staff for the purchase related to wine. They both loved to drink and that's why they came to look for a job. One was called Lin Peng and the other Qin Feng.

Lin Peng also has very strong martial spirit, which was called Dragon Staff which has a silver colour and a golden dragon engraved from top to bottom.

Liu Feng also has a top notch martial spirit called Diamond Ape which has both strong attack and defence. They both have the standard spirit ring configuration.

They both were also independent cultivators and was already more than hundred year old. They didn't have any hope to become Title Douluo, so Tang Ming offered them the chance that they can continue their stagnated cultivation and reach Title Douluo but they have to swore an oath to heaven that they will serve as Elders for Immortal's Love for the rest of their lives and won't tell anyone how they breakthrough their bottleneck.

Both of them were sceptical about his claim but still agreed none the less.

Tang Ming gave them both a gourd full of real authentic Monkey Wine with all its special effects like cleaning and washing marrow, soul and body of all its impurities and even helping in breaking the bottleneck.

They both breakthrough to Title Douluo the next day and hunted for the spirit ring after that. As they have accumulated their experience for a long time, after getting a spirit ring both their spirit power soared.

Lin Peng and Liu Feng has their cultivation elevated to peak 93-level Titled Douluo and both became the elder of Immortal's Love.

Immortal's Love reputation is at its peak and he has money to do whatever he wanted. He also opened restaurants and bars with the same name and also changed the name of all the hotel he have under him to the same name. He also added some of the cuisine from the previous world which made the restaurant and bars very popular among common people.

After that he found the nearest hotel he owned and went toward it. He booked the room and took a rest.

He didn't know when he fall asleep but it was already dawn of the next day when he woke up.

He stood up from his bed and stretched his body a little. After washing and cleaning himself, he did his daily cultivation.

He has already Increased the age of his first ring to 9999 years and second ring to 13000 years. He kept his spirit ring at the age because he didn't want the unnecessary attention from anyone till the Continental Tournament.

After doing all that he does, he stood up from his place and teleported himself to the gate outside of Rose hotel. And made his way in.

As he entered he can see Tang San and Xiao Wu also coming together toward the gate.

" Brother Ming, Xiao San and I was just going to find you. We are going to take a stroll around the city. This city is so big and amazing, it's much bigger than the Nuoding City!"

Xiao Wu was as energetic as usual, and obviously pulled Tang San out forcibly to go out with her. She was looking a little too excited. Maybe it's because she never visited any other human cities than Nuoding city.

"Okay, illy also tag along."

Tang Ming looked outside, the sun was shining brightly, the wind was blowing oh ever so slightly making the weather quite beautiful and optimal for a little outing.

After discussing, the three people walked out of the hotel .

Tang Ming quite enjoyed the warm sunshine falling on his body, and the three of them wandered here and there all over the place.

Suddenly Tang San paused and looked at a shop in the distance. The shop looked quite unique.

Tang San looked at the shop for few moments before saying, " Xiao Wu, brother Ming let's go and take a look at that shop."

As the entered the shop a person can be sleeping in an armchair. He is a middle aged person, his face is very characteristic, chin somewhat prominent and cheek bones a little wide, in addition of aquiline nose.

He gives somewhat devious feeling by his looks. On his face is set of black crystal glasses and frames with a rigid square shape. Ha has also a very good built not muscular but a proportional one.

The event happened tha same in the original as Tang San found Hair Crystal and tried to bargain but Flender kept raising money.

But after suddenly seeing Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, he asked some questions and tell him take it for free although Tang San pays for it nevertheless.

After coming out of the shop, Tang San and Xiao Wu was going to take a last stroll around the city before going to their place.

Tang Ming suddenly stopped.

" Xiao San, Xiao Wu you both continue to stroll. I suddenly remembered I have something to do. I'll meet you both in a hour at Hotel Rose lounge." Tang Ming said. Tang San and Xiao Wu nodded as they are already used to Tang Ming habits. Both of them left.

As he was walking toward the Soto city Immortal's Love branch to check out some things. Suddenly there was a commotion and he can hear a girl voice :

" Return the money to me, do you know who I am? You dare to steal from me? If you didn't return the money right now, be careful if I tell my Grandpa."

"Heh, little girl, I picked this bag of gold coins from the ground. I don't know what you're talking about. You say it belongs to you and it is yours? You call it, see if it agrees."

Tang Ming looked at distance, where people were surrounding a girl who was looking at the two bear like men in front of her with anger.

The girl looked very delicate and beautiful and was wearing a light green coloured mini dress. She has a very fair skin and her entire being giving a heavenly feeling. She has long flowing brown hair, and also a pair of deep amethyst coloured eyes. She gave an impression of highly educated noble lady of a clan or family.( same as in the Donghua).

The two men in front of her had a devious smile in their face and by the spirit power fluctuation, seems to be Spirit Elder. They look extremely burly and intimidating. At the moment they were holding a bag full of gold coins.

'Isn't this girl Ning Rongrong?' Tang Ming looked at the girl from a distance and thought.

As a future school mate he was going to help her, when he just sensed two extremely strong person in his Observation Haki passive range. His passive range had gone slightly over 10 metres and while he activates it fully he can sense anyone or anything in a diameter of 150 metres.

The two peoples are giving spirit fluctuation of about the level of Spirit Emperor. After spotting the two person and observing them, he found that they are people of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda clan.

' Hmm, this little missy has bodyguards of spirit emperor level following her. It seems I didn't need to worry about her.'

After that he turned and left towards his Immortal's Love branch in the city. He met with the manager in charge of the branch, told him about something, re-stocked the Wines and gold coins for himself and then left to meet the two at Rose hotel.

Tang San and Xiao Wu was already waiting at the lounge area for Tang Ming. As they met, they left and went to Shrek Academy together.

In the outskirts of the Soto city, all the way to the south, you can see a large patch of farmlands all around.

" The teacher said, that after you leave to the south, walk along the official road and you can find Shrek Academy." Tang San looked at the farmlands and said.

"I don't know how this Shrek Academy will be like? And why is it outside the city?"

Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"Because of being poor." Tang Ming replied.

Shrek Academy is indeed poor. In the original Shrek Academy is very poor and would have been closed because of poverty.

"No way!!" Xiao Wu said in surprise.

Tang San also frowned after hearing that.

"Yes way. Otherwise why would they build the academy outside of the city? Well, we'll know when we arrive at the academy." Tang Ming said with a smile.

Tang Ming was also a little curious about the Shrek Academy, as he has only read about it in the novels and has not seen with his own eyes.

After walking for a while, Xiao Wu made a excuse about her feeling tired and asked Xiao San to carry her. She transferred to Tang San's back as Tang San carried her all the way.

Xiao Wu did not came down till the three of them didn't see a village.

"It should be there!" Tang San said.

Xiao Wu eagerly looked into the distance and said, " How come we can't see it?"

The three of them walked toward the village in the sight that is not too far away.

As they approached, the three of them can see a long line of people stretching from the tattered gate of the village, where a sign board was hanging with ' Shrek Academy ' written on it. There is also the legendary sign of Shrek Academy etched in between.

"It looks even more tattered than I imagined it to be."

Tang Ming was speechless at the condition of the academy.

At the entrance, ther is a table. An elderly looking person can be seen sitting, and seems to be checking the student who came to sign up.

" Brother Ming you are really a crow mouth..." Xiao Wu said and looked at Tang Ming with a little grievance in her eyes as she said again, " It looks so tattered, it so worse looking than Nuoding Junior Spirit Academy."

"....." Tang Ming was speechless once again and can only shook his head.

A/N : Here you go folks, this is today's chapter. SO ENJOY.

Well I want to clarify something that people have been asking me repeatedly, that I nerfed down the Qili Transformation technique very much.

Yeah, I nerfed it down more than thousand times, so that he didn't become a broken character. But as you can see he already has become a broken character even if I nerfed it down so much.

And yes he can assimilate any bloodline the same as the original Dragon Transformation skill. And he will absorb a hell lot of it in coming chapters.

The highest speed he can reach and move easily, now with the help of [Godspeed] is mach 4. I'll Increase his speed.

So if you have any questions more to ask, do ask it. I'll help you with answers as best as I can.

And GIMME SOME POWER STONES IF YOU CAN.

Any suggestions, reviews and comments are appreciated either good or bad. Now I'm out.
