Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

"What?!" Ji Yichuan clenched his fists instinctively, his eyes filled with disbelief!

That was a winged serpent! The dominant monster in the area was instantly killed by this child?!

Then, Ji Yichuan's feelings became complicated again.

Such a talented young man is not someone that our humble Ji family can keep.

"I wonder how Ning'er's cultivation is going," Ji Yichuan thought to himself.

Having dealt with the giant snake, Zhang Shan turned around and laughed, "This giant snake probably isn't the leader's pet, is it?"

"Uh...no." Ji Yichuan shook his head.

Trying to win them over? Forget it, we're just strangers who met by chance, let's just make a good connection and be done with it.

“That’s good! I saw that the giant snake had murderous intent towards me, so I killed it!” Zhang Shan said.

He looked toward the center of Winged Serpent Lake, where one of the entrances to the Water Palace was located.

"With my current strength, I might be able to make a name for myself," Zhang Shan thought to himself.

But in the end, they gave up because the water palace was actually useless. The only useful thing was probably the talking old ox.

He taught Ji Ninglie a move called the Lesser Thousand Swords Formation.

He said to Ji Yichuan, "Chief, I have been cultivating haphazardly all these years and I don't know what my current situation is. I wonder if the chief could give me some pointers?"

Zhang Shan was absolutely sincere in saying this. Although he had become a primordial being by chance, he was still completely clueless about cultivation and didn't even know the correct methods.

If I keep trying to figure things out on my own like this, I'm afraid I'll never be able to cultivate to the Purple Mansion level in my lifetime.

This request was nothing to Ji Yichuan. He had originally planned to build a good relationship with Zhang Shan, and now that the other party had taken the initiative to make the request, he would naturally help.

“Alright, please wait here for a moment, young master. I will inform you about cultivators, and I will also have my clansmen bring some books on cultivation for you to read…” At this point, Ji Yichuan suddenly paused, then asked, “I wonder if you are literate?”

“I can’t read!” Zhang Shan said directly. The old man who raised him was just an elderly hunter who couldn’t read himself, let alone teach Zhang Shan.

“Is that so? Then how about I teach you to read first? With your innate life level, you will be able to learn all the characters very quickly,” Ji Yichuan said.

"Okay, thank you!" Zhang Shan cupped his hands in thanks.

Over the next day, under Ji Yichuan's tutelage, Zhang Shan learned to recognize almost all the characters in this world and gained a clear understanding of its cultivation methods.

For example, with his current cultivation level, he has broken through to the Innate Realm in both Qi Refining and Body Refining. In this Yanshan area, his strength is enough to make him invincible.

As for the light that Zhang Shan emitted each time he made a move, Ji Yichuan wasn't sure what it was, and could only guess that it might be the legendary mental energy.

Zhang Shan understood.

The reason I am so strong is because I have embarked on the path of the power of the mind.

This power of the mind is one of the most difficult and strongest cultivation paths in the world.

Those who have mastered mental power can instantly kill opponents who haven't, leaving them no chance to retaliate!

Having received information about this world from Ji Yichuan, Zhang Shan thanked him and asked, "Chief, do you know how to get to the Jiangbian Tribe?"

“I do know that,” Ji Yichuan said with a smile. After spending a day together, he found Zhang Shan to be a very polite and well-behaved boy, not at all like someone from a humble background. Therefore, Ji Yichuan simply took Zhang Shan’s previous statement as just his own words.

He took out a map of the Yanshan Mountains and handed it to Zhang Shan, saying, "We are currently at Winged Serpent Lake. The riverside tribe you are going to is located there..."

Zhang Shan, map in hand, moved swiftly through the jungle.

After Zhang Shan left, another person joined Ji Yichuan's side. He asked, "Chief, such a genius, should we really let him go? What if he...?"

"Enough! He can kill the Winged Serpent with a single arrow, and I'm only slightly stronger than the Winged Serpent. Do you think he can't kill me instantly?" Ji Yichuan frowned and scolded, "The reason he killed the Winged Serpent was to let me know his strength and prevent me from having any ulterior motives! Tell your men to behave themselves and not cause any unnecessary trouble for the Ji family!"

"Yes!" Cold sweat poured down the man's forehead. He hadn't expected there to be so many twists and turns in this matter. Luckily, he hadn't acted impulsively!

"By the way, with the winged serpent dead, the tribes of Yanshan can finally rest easy."

"Yes!"

Zhang Shan's side.

He went to the riverside tribe to wait for Ji Ning.

If I remember correctly, one of Ji Ning's maids died in the riverside tribe. If I had arrived in time, I might have been able to save her and make a good connection.

"I just don't know where Ji Ning is right now..."

After a five-day race, Zhang Shan finally arrived near the riverside tribe.

"Hahaha! Young Master has gained another plaything this time! I heard she's a maid of the Ji family's young master, but unfortunately, the Ji family's young master thinks she's too old and doesn't want her anymore!"

"Tch! Just a maid, and an abandoned one at that. Does she really think she's something special? It's her good fortune that the young master has taken a liking to her!"

The two men dressed in animal skins spoke disdainfully.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shan's eyes lit up immediately.

“It really takes no effort at all!”

Holding a wooden spear, Zhang Shan walked directly toward the convoy.

The group consisted of about thirty people, mostly ordinary people who had never cultivated. Upon discovering Zhang Shan, they immediately became alert.

"who?"

"Do you know who's in this car? Get out of here if you don't want to die!"

Zhang Shan swung his wooden stick, knocking all the guys blocking his way away, sending them flying and hanging from the trees, howling in pain.

Throughout the entire process, Zhang Shan's expression remained unchanged, calm and composed.

He had lived alone in this primeval forest for five years, and the law of the jungle was almost ingrained in his bones. These weaklings dared to brandish weapons at him, and the fact that he hadn't killed them outright was already an act of mercy on his part.

Walking up to the wooden cart, Zhang Shan swung his arm, and the wooden cart in front of him instantly exploded.

Jiang He shivered in the carriage.

Beside Jiang He was a woman with a terrified expression.

"Are you Ji Ning's little maid?" Zhang Shan asked the woman.

Upon hearing this, the woman's previously lifeless eyes regained their sparkle.

“My lord! I am Chuncao, the former maid of Young Master Ji Ning!” Chuncao knelt before Zhang Shan and replied respectfully.

"Hmm, you didn't do anything to him, did you?" Zhang Shan looked at Jiang He and asked Chuncao.

Jiang He quickly replied, "No, no! Sir! I haven't had time to do anything yet!"

Although he wanted to indulge, now was not the right place. Jiang He suppressed his desire and planned to go back and eat Chuncao.

I never imagined that such a small habit would save my life!

Bang!

The spear pierced Jiang He's skull. Zhang Shan said to Chuncao, "Go back. I'll go wipe out Jiang He's tribe and come back."

Chapter 246 Discussion

Riverside tribe.

Or rather, the former riverside tribe.

At this point, heads were rolling and blood was flowing like a river.

Zhang Shan stood in front of the weapons rack, looked at the weapons displayed there, and chose a long spear.

"Finally, we don't have to use wooden spears anymore!" Zhang Shan said with a smile.

He changed his clothes and put on a pair of sturdy straw sandals before leaving the riverside tribe and heading to the Black Tooth tribe where Chuncao lived.

He was going to wait for Ji Ning there so he could latch onto this powerful figure!

Even though Zhang Shan has realized that he is very powerful, in the path of cultivation, who knows if he will always be powerful?

At times like these, friends become very important!

Moreover, this friend is someone like Ji Ning, who is almost certain to become the ultimate supreme being.

Upon returning to the Black Fang tribe, Chief Black Fang greeted Zhang Shan with a smile as he returned in neat attire.

He already knew about Zhang Shan from his daughter Chuncao, and knew that he was a primordial being, so naturally he dared not be presumptuous.

"My lord!" Chuncao bowed respectfully.

“Well, I’ll be staying here for a while. Once Ji Ning arrives, we’ll leave together.” After saying this to Chuncao, Zhang Shan headed straight for a high mountain within the territory of the Black Fang tribe.

The Black Tooth tribe's chief's house wasn't as sturdy as the wooden hut Zhang Shan had built himself; it was better for him to just live outside.

At this moment, Zhang Shan stood on high ground, looking down at the busy Black Fang tribe members below. In his eyes, it seemed as if the world was changing.

At the same time, one can vaguely see flowers, plants and trees on Zhang Shan's body, so lifelike that they seem to exist in reality.

This is Zhang Shan's visualization method: the world!

It was a method he had unintentionally grasped over the years. Before today, he hadn't even noticed these things. It was only after learning the complete cultivation process from Ji Yichuan that he realized how amazing he was! He had comprehended the visualization method on his own through blind exploration!

Time flies, and January is over in the blink of an eye.

One day, a person came to the Black Tooth tribe.

The newcomer was dressed in animal skins, with two swords on his back, followed by a man and a beast.

"Spring grass!"

"Son!"

A long-awaited reunion is always a joyous occasion. When Chuncao saw Ji Ning again, she couldn't stop the tears from flowing, and she cried her heart out.

Seeing this, Ji Ning could only comfort her.

Ji Ning's other maid, Qiu Ye, chuckled and said, "If Chun Cao can't bear to part with the young master, why don't you come back?"

Chuncao stiffened, but when she thought about the difference in status between herself and Ji Ning, she finally shook her head and said, "No, I still want to stay by my father's side."

This isn't about wanting to stay by her father's side; it's clearly about wanting to get away from Ji Ning.

Unfortunately, Ji Ning's mind is now completely focused on cultivation, and he only sees his feelings for Chuncao as those of a brother and sister.

Zhang Shan leaped from the mountaintop, and the saplings on the ground instantly grew into trees, providing him with a foothold and a buffer zone.

Ji Ning also discovered the existence of Zhang Shan, this innate being, and immediately felt a little nervous.
