Please call me Dadaozu

Chapter 290 After we finish this pot of tea, I'll take you to kill someone (4000)

"it's over!"

Zhang Yuanzhu's robes billowed as a crimson-gold sea of ​​fire poured down.

Whether you spared my life or cursed me, it all turned to ashes.

For a time, apart from the raging flames, there was no other living thing on the earth.

His face was indifferent. The Zhao family in Lin'an City had all perished, so it was time to leave the Qian Kingdom.

With a thought, the cracked jade boat appeared before him.

Take a step out and step onto the deck.

Step lightly with the ball of your foot.

brush!
The flying boat soared through the sky, heading south.

The young man sat cross-legged and began to take stock of the spoils of war and the losses from the campaign.

Extend your palm and wave it gently.

A bead of blood and a bead of white bone appeared before them.

Both beads were covered in cracks, as if they would shatter at any moment.

Zhang Yuanzhu first picked up the white bone bead, rubbed it between his five fingers, and carefully examined it with his spiritual sense.

He shook his head helplessly.

In the battle to conquer the imperial city, although the most important part of the White Bone Corpse Demon, its head, was preserved, its entire skeletal body was destroyed, and the refined corpse was now mostly ruined.

Even if it could absorb flesh and bones to try to repair itself, its combat power would inevitably decline, rendering it worthless.

The young man sighed, put away the white bone bead, and placed it deep inside his storage bag.

This reanimated corpse had been with him for a long time and had thus fulfilled its mission.

Then, he turned his gaze to the Bloodlight Pearl, grasped it tightly, and examined it carefully.

A moment later, Zhang Yuanzhu lightly tapped his forehead.

This low-grade spiritual artifact was also severely damaged, but fortunately it was still usable.

Hang the Bloodlight Bead around your waist.

In this battle, we lost a Foundation Establishment Level 6 talisman, a Foundation Establishment Level 3 refining corpse, a low-grade spiritual weapon, and 90% of the Xuan Kong Platform.

However, the rewards were also plentiful.

Zhang Yuanzhu took out a storage ring from his pocket, tapped it lightly with his five fingers, and streams of light flew out and landed on the deck.

There are cultivation techniques, jade slips, piles of high-grade spirit stones, as well as spiritual artifacts and spiritual objects. Each item is valuable and has been collected by the Qian Kingdom for many years.

If it weren't for this magical object being delivered, the people slaughtered today would not only be the Zhao Manchu clan of the imperial palace.

As his thoughts raced and his spiritual senses swept over the various spiritual objects on the deck, the young man's lips unconsciously curled into a smile, filled with pleasure.

One thousand high-grade spirit stones, one mid-grade spirit weapon, a considerable amount of Foundation Establishment demon beast meat, and precious cultivation techniques.

He stretched out his palm, flicked his sleeve, and directly took away a thousand high-grade spirit stones.

Then, he turned his attention to the mid-grade spiritual weapon.

The magical weapon is a long-handled warhammer, its body entirely golden, engraved with intricate patterns, and exuding a powerful and heavy aura.

He stroked the hammer with his palm, feeling the coldness of his fingertips.

This is the second mid-grade spiritual artifact he owns, and it is in perfect condition.

Whispering in my heart:

'Take control!'

In an instant, the long-handled warhammer vanished.

Deep within my soul, the mirror composed of red and blue light atop the Seven Treasures Tree underwent a slight change.

Control: [Level 2] Golden Hammer (Trait: Guardian)

[Level 2] Golden Mace (Characteristic: Mountain Moving)

The moment the Golden Hammer was wielded, the words "Mountain Moving" on the Golden Mace's [Special Feature] began to flash.

Zhang Yuanzhu instinctively felt that, if he wanted, the two unrelated characteristics could be combined into one.

This instinct was so strong that it caused the young man to furrow his brow slightly.

However, he managed to suppress this instinct and instead began to sense the new [characteristic] Royal Ridge.

His strength, his overall strength increased again, and
Zhang Yuanzhu looked down at the land beneath the flying boat and felt a sense of familiarity he had never experienced before.

He stood up, came to the edge of the airship, and gently clenched his fist with his palm facing down.

Boom!

The soil churns and a hill emerges, transforming into various shapes with a flick of the finger.

He did not use any magic power at all from beginning to end.

'The power boost isn't as powerful as the [Special Ability] Mountain Moving, but its affinity for the earth far surpasses it. What if the two were combined?'

'Moreover, this is the first time I've encountered something like this since becoming the Master of Supernatural Powers.'

Zhang Yuanzhu quickly made a decision after considering his thoughts.

In the blink of an eye.

[Characteristic] Moving Mountains, [Characteristic] Protecting Ridges, start flashing rapidly, then blur.

I don't know how much time passed, whether it was a moment or eternity, but the blurred words became clear again.

Control: [Level 2] Golden Hammer, Golden Mace (Trait: Mountain Moving and Ridge Control)

boom!
The moment these four characteristics took shape, it was as if a thunderbolt struck his heart, leaving the young man momentarily bewildered.

Its power surged wildly, and it became increasingly affinity with the earth.

Such power, this rising affinity with the earth, cannot be described by one plus one; it far surpasses the sum of its parts.

He stood on the deck, looking down at the earth, gazing at the mountains and peaks.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanzhu was confident that he could move mountains and control ridges without mobilizing any magical power, relying solely on his physical body.

Without further hesitation, he jumped.

The moment the soles of the feet touched the ground, spiritual energy from within a radius of several miles surged wildly into the body, boosting cultivation.

"In this way, the environmental requirements for cultivation will be much simpler in the future."

Zhang Yuanzhu muttered to himself.

He strode quickly toward the nearest mountain range.

He was only eight feet tall, and compared to the mountains, he was too small, not to mention the mountains themselves, even compared to a hill in the mountains.

But at this moment, the young man took off his red robe, revealing half of his body, and opened his arms.

Take a step, bring your arms together.

Boom!

The earth shook, the sky trembled, and dust rose everywhere.

The mountain range, stretching for dozens of miles, was trembling violently.

"rise!"

Zhang Yuanzhu roared, and his muscles, tendons, skin, and even his internal organs began to vibrate, unleashing tremendous power.

The surging blood and qi, like smoke rising straight into the sky, turned the heavens into a blood-red expanse.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
The mountains are rising!
Rocks tumbled down, wild beasts roared, and the mountain range, seemingly endless to the naked eye, slowly rose from the ground.

"This is the Mountain Moving and Ridge Controlling Range, and it truly lives up to its name."

With arms released, the mountain range crashed to the ground, and the entire landscape shook.

Zhang Yuanzhu slowly lowered his arms, recalling the feelings he had just experienced, and then he grinned and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

The laughter was loud and unrestrained.

The fact that their strength has increased again is naturally pleasing.

He leaped onto the flying boat with the power of his feet, put on a red robe, and looked at the remaining jade slips and spiritual objects on the deck.

For him, merely gaining the mid-grade spiritual weapon, the Golden Radiance Hammer, was better than any other loss.

This fight was worthwhile!

He stretched out his hand, picked up a jade slip, and opened it.

Practicing Qigong is useless!
He put down the jade slip and picked up another one.

The spells were extremely ordinary.

Zhang Yuanzhu remained expressionless, picking up and putting down jade slips and ancient books repeatedly.

Most of them are Qi Refining Realm techniques and spells, which are useless to him, but can be passed on to the lineage as an accumulation.

Of course, there are also a few Foundation Establishment techniques, but unfortunately, they can only be cultivated up to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, and their attribute is not lightning.

Time passed second by second, and Zhang Yuanzhu held a jade slip in his hand, casually flipping through it.

what!
The young man was surprised.

"Gengjin Quenching Spirit Technique" is a metal-type cultivation method that leads directly to the Condensing Evil Realm. It includes breakthrough techniques, methods for extracting magical power, and also records several powerful spells.

Zhang Yuanzhu studied it carefully and quickly came to a conclusion.

This cultivation method should be the one practiced by the ancestor of the Zhao family in the Qian Kingdom.

Call ~
The young man exhaled a breath of stale air.

A cultivation technique that allows one to reach the Condensing Evil Realm is extremely rare, even within the Scorching Sun lineage, and is exceptionally precious.

Unfortunately, he chose lightning at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Zhang Yuanzhu carefully put away the jade slip and began to peruse it again. After looking at it for a while, the young man held a blue jade slip, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Lightning-attribute cultivation method - "Thunder Marsh Eight Desolations Technique".

He had heard of this technique at an auction in Wolong City and almost traded it for the Five Poisons Flying Sword.

However, the cultivation method was incomplete at that time, and he could only cultivate up to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.

Unexpectedly, the Zhao family also possessed this lightning-attribute foundation-building technique.

The young man probed into it with his spiritual sense and examined it carefully.

After an unknown amount of time, he looked helpless.

The cultivation technique in my palm is complete and can be cultivated to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, but it's still a bit lacking. Does that mean I have to forge my own path?

"No rush, let's go back to the Zhuoyang lineage first."

He put the jade slip away and continued to look through it. Only after confirming that the remaining jade slips were not of much value did he turn his attention to the last spiritual item.

A light flick of the fingertips.

Click! Click! Click!

The jade boxes were opened one after another, revealing precious spiritual herbs, as well as the flesh and blood of demonic beasts at the Foundation Establishment level, and various spiritual ores.

Zhang Yuanzhu's gaze swept across the area, and with a flick of his robe, all the items on the deck vanished.

After taking stock of the spoils, he immediately began cultivating the spiritual awareness technique, continuously condensing his spiritual awareness to reinforce the pagoda.

When night falls, he will practice the "Record of Blazing Sun True Fire" to improve his cultivation.

He traveled and cultivated simultaneously, day after day.

Seven days have passed, and they have left the Qian Kingdom and entered the Yuan Kingdom.

The news of Zhang Yuanzhu's return from the Demon Mountain spread at an extremely fast pace.

The jade boat glides across the sky, heading south.

A low-lying city gradually came into view.

Zhang Yuanzhu slowly opened his closed eyes and looked at the two characters 'Jiang Shui' on the city gate.

'I'm back here.'

The young man whispered in his heart.

He did not change direction or come here on purpose; he simply took the shortest route to the sect.

However, upon revisiting the place, the young man remained calm and unperturbed.

The pagoda in his mind trembled, and layers of spiritual consciousness overflowed, sweeping across the entire city.

Peddlers and laborers, all walks of life, are reflected in my heart.

"I never expected to run into an old friend here."

The young man rose, stood at the bow of the boat, and gazed at the center of the city.

That area once belonged to the Jiang, Wang, and Zhou families, a place that neither beggars nor commoners could easily enter.

The three companies that were once considered superior now seem insignificant, not even ants.

Moreover, the Jiang and Wang families vanished with the wind, leaving only the Zhou family as the rulers of the city.

Zhang Yuanzhu stood quietly in front of the boat, waiting.

After a cup of tea.

A streak of rainbow light flew out and stopped in front of the yellow jade boat.

The rainbow light faded, revealing a beautiful woman in a white dress with flowing black hair.

Delicate and beautiful.

"I am Zhou Zhi, a disciple of Immortal Soldier Valley. May I ask what brings you here, senior?"

"Haha~"

A gentle laugh emanated from the jade boat.

The light on the airship slowly faded, revealing a slender figure.

His red robes fluttered, his double pupils were deep and profound, and a long sword was slung at his waist.

"Junior sister, it's been a long time since we parted ways in the Beast Taming Secret Realm."

boom!
A thunderbolt struck my heart.

The woman's eyes were filled with surprise as she gazed at the familiar figure.

At this moment, all my worries, anxieties and unease have vanished.

Her red lips parted slightly, and she murmured:
"Brother!"

As long as my senior brother is here, all difficulties can be overcome, and all enemies will lie dead on the ground.

She once firmly believed, still firmly believes, and will not change in the future.

"Junior sister, please board the jade boat."

Zhang Yuanzhu pointed to the side.

Zhou Zhi nodded, boarded the jade boat, and stood beside the young man, her eyes filled with longing.

“Senior brother, the Tai Ri Dao lineage is in a standoff. Many people say you are doomed, but I believe you will survive.”

"When you entered the Demon Mountain, everyone thought you would never come back and would surely perish in the Demon Land, but I still believe that you will definitely cross the Demon Land and return."

"Senior brother, you will always be victorious!"

His soft voice conveyed absolute confidence.

The young man's eyes softened, and he reached out and patted the woman's shoulder.

"However, a few scoundrels cannot stop me in the slightest."

The two met at Daofeng and had also traveled side by side in the Beast Taming Secret Realm, so they could be considered friends.

Zhang Yuanzhu strode to the center of the deck and waved his hand.

Two futons and a pot of hot tea appeared.

The young man sat cross-legged, picked up the teapot, and poured tea.

At this moment, Zhou Zhilian walked gracefully over and sat cross-legged opposite her.

Zhang Yuanzhu put down the teapot and pushed a cup of tea in front of the woman.

"The spiritual tea obtained from the Demon Land tastes quite good. Let's see if it suits your palate."

"Mount Fallen Demon?"

The woman spoke softly, picked up her teacup, and took a sip.

In an instant, it was as if a raging flame entered his throat and swept across his body, and all the hidden injuries he had sustained since he began cultivating began to heal.

Zhou Zhi's eyebrows were slightly curved, like crescent moons.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

As she slowly sipped the spiritual tea in her cup, rays of light emanated from her body.

"It's just a little bit of spiritual tea; as long as it's useful to you, that's fine."

Zhang Yuanzhu stretched out his hand and toyed with the teacup.

"Years have passed since we last met. I haven't yet congratulated my junior sister on reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining, and her Foundation Establishment is on the horizon."

The two were the same age, and having reached the seventh level of Qi Refining in their early twenties, they naturally had a great chance of establishing their foundation.

"Foundation Building is too far away."

Zhou Zhi sighed, "The difficulty of establishing a foundation is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

The Vast Ocean Lineage she came from only had a handful of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"I wonder where you are now, Senior Brother?"

A hint of curiosity flashed in the woman's eyes.

Zhang Yuanzhu picked up the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and then exhaled softly:
"Foundation building!"

Zhou Zhi's hand trembled slightly as she drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

"As expected of my senior brother, his foundation building over ten years is unprecedented in history."

The woman admired it, but wasn't too shocked.

She was open to any breakthrough her senior brother made.

However, amidst the praise, there was also a hint of disappointment.

Even though she tried her best, she couldn't see her senior brother's back.

Zhang Yuanzhu remained silent, slowly sipping his tea. Only after finishing it did he begin to speak:
There are many rats around.

"They were all sent by the Yuan Dynasty."

Zhou Zhi was direct and to the point, her red lips slightly parted:
"Five years ago, my parents called me back, and I also returned to Jiangshui City because of the special nature of my cultivation technique. At that time, there were many independent cultivators around."

"Three years ago, when news of my senior brother's entry into the Demon Realm spread, all the rogue cultivators left. One by one, Yuan Kingdom cultivators came here, either to investigate my senior brother's past or to search for items that my senior brother had used."

"I was too weak to stop it, and I was injured several times when I tried to attack."

"However, most of these people left a few days ago."

Zhang Yuanzhu's eyes were deep and profound.

Has news of the downfall of the Zhao clan of the Qian Kingdom spread?

He roughly understood why the Yuan Kingdom cultivators around Jiangshui City had left.

Snapped!
The young man put down his teacup, looked at the woman, and spoke slowly and deliberately:
"After you finish this pot of tea, I'll take you to kill someone."
