In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

In particular, the body-refining techniques of Chiyou Village are called Blood Refinement.

Legend has it that Chi You refined his body nine times with his blood to achieve an indestructible demonic form. Apart from the Xuanyuan Sword, which could restrain his body, even Guang Chengzi was no match for him at the time.

Those who can undergo seven blood refinements in Chiyou Village will be invincible throughout the Central Plains.

Back then, when the righteous and the demonic factions were divided, a powerful figure from Chiyou Village who had undergone eight blood refinements used almost all the strength of the righteous path in the Central Plains to kill him.

That battle nearly caused the Taoist, Buddhist, and other schools of thought to lose their lineage.

As a result, the originally diverse martial arts world began to be divided into good and evil, and the cycle of good versus evil has been repeating itself ever since.

"Guigu! Yin and Yang!"

"You're here for the meteorite too?"

"You guys are interesting too."

Wei Zhuang looked at the old man from Miao territory with a curious expression.

Under the influence of the Ying family, Ying Zheng wanted to refine an elixir of immortality, but what was Miao Jiang's motive? It seems that the meteorite copper really is a valuable item.

"The items are right here. Miao Jiang exchanged three divine herbs for three sets of bronze armor."

There are still about three-quarters of the meteorite copper remaining, which, according to volume, is equivalent to nine ancient medicinal herbs.

Of course, you are not from Miao territory, so you cannot exchange ancient medicine for meteorite copper.

But here's the chip!

Hiss...

Both the Moon Goddess and Wei Zhuang were taken aback by Zhang Xiaoshan's actions.

Three suits of bronze armor? Three ancient medicinal herbs?

"Asking for a lion's share" is not even enough to describe Zhang Xiaoshan's greed.

But the fact that Miao Jiang seemed to agree to this shocked them.

托？

But judging from the three people from Chiyou Village, their identities must be extraordinary.

"Young master, are you joking?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the ingredient that the Qin Emperor used to refine the elixir of immortality."

Compared to immortality, what are these things?

As for exchanging bronze armor in Miao territory? That wasn't a shill hired by Zhang.

You two should have heard about what happened some time ago, which is also related to the young man's protective bronze armor warrior. It was created by the Ghost Doctor senior based on the forbidden techniques of Miao territory.

With three divine herbs, three grandmaster-level puppets may be added in the future. Do you two think Miao Jiang is at a disadvantage?

Or, compared to the elixir of immortality, what are nine millennia-old divine herbs?

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's sophistry, Wei Zhuang smiled slightly.

This is a fallacy of equivocation, but since he can't get anything anyway, it's good that the Yin-Yang School suffers a huge loss.

As for the Miao people's crafting of bronze-armored puppets?

There must be some secret he doesn't know about.

Moreover, the people of Miao territory are not easily fooled; they stake three divine herbs on just one possibility.

For a moment, Wei Zhuang became even more curious.

"This is not something the Moon Goddess can decide; it is up to the Emperor Qin and the envoy to decide."

"The goods are right here. As long as you don't steal or rob, all business negotiations are negotiable!"

Now that Zhang has the Dragon Ball, he doesn't value the meteorite copper much, which is why he's willing to exchange them.

correct! "

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoshan thought of something and took out two treasures.

A bead that looks antique, neither quite copper nor quite bluestone; a piece of copper about the size of a baby's fist, but half of it has been stolen.

"The Zhang family does business by being truthful and honest. Prices may be a bit higher, but the goods are never fake."

Just like in the desert, a water bag can be invaluable in a critical moment.

The value of an item is determined by market demand. The Zhang family doesn't force sales, but they also don't feel they're losing out. In a critical moment, something of immense value wouldn't be sold to you for a pittance without a good relationship.

Whether it was the Moon Goddess or Wei Zhuang, they were both deeply moved by Zhang Xiaoshan's 'reliability'.

I never imagined there could be such shameless people in the world.

"I've heard that the Moon Goddess is skilled in divination, or some forbidden Yin-Yang techniques, or Taoist escape techniques."

The Dragon Balls are the best aids in the world, and since we are making a deal, it is impossible for me, Zhang, not to let you inspect the goods.

For ordinary people to activate the Dragon Balls, apart from the "chosen one," others need a meteorite as a key.

like···"

Zhang Xiaoshan threw the Dragon Ball directly to the Miao girl.

As the girl took the Dragon Ball, she used her own true energy to activate it. Suddenly, the tea on the table transformed into a water dragon that swirled around the Dragon Ball.

Such methods were enough to shock even the elderly Miao people who witnessed them firsthand.

The plan is to send the young man out of the valley to travel and find a dragon pearl after returning.

"Alright, little girl, stop playing."

Zhang Xiaoshan raised his hand to retrieve the Dragon Ball and shot it towards the Moon Goddess.

The Moon Goddess, a master of Yin-Yang illusion techniques, poured her pure power into the Dragon Pearl. Aside from a few moments of turbulent energy fluctuations before it, the Dragon Pearl showed no reaction whatsoever.

Wei Zhuang, who received the Dragon Ball, was just average; he never expected the Dragon Ball to actually recognize its owner.

"Pour your true qi into both treasures at the same time, and try again!"

Wei Zhuang took the meteorite and did as instructed. Instantly, the power of the Dragon Ball was activated, and countless images flashed through his mind.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan bypassed the Dragon Ball, severing his connection with Wei Zhuang.

"Commander Wei is plagued by inner demons; this thing is a great scourge to you."

"If the inner demons are not eliminated and the obsession is not let go, Commander Wei will be trapped in endless inner demons while possessing the Dragon Pearl. Without breaking free from these inner demons, he will never awaken."

"What a terrifying thing! It's truly bizarre!"

Seeing that Wei Zhuang did not refute, the Moon Goddess also looked solemn.

The Moon Goddess, having taken the Dragon Ball back, activated it once more. As the Dragon Ball's power gradually increased, the Moon Goddess suddenly felt a force of heaven and earth at her fingertips, which she could manipulate at will.

This realization is nothing other than an understanding of the power of heaven and earth.

Ultimately, the Yin-Yang School originated from Taoism, and astrology and illusion divination were all abilities of the ancient shamans.

Cut it off!

Sensing that the Moon Goddess wanted to use this opportunity to break through, Zhang Xiaoshan reacted quickly and snatched the Dragon Pearl away once again.

Lianxing's breakthrough came from years of accumulated experience; her inner demons were broken, and so was her spiritual realm.

The Moon Goddess completely courted death; after comprehending the power of heaven and earth, she actually wanted to break through using the power of the Dragon Balls.

This is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst!

Chapter 283 Technical Problems? The Secret of Ghost Street

"Dragon Ball has three demons: "

Obsession with inner demons, breaking through to demonic possession, sacrificing oneself to become a demon.

Commander Wei was obsessed with his inner demons. Once he fell into them, he might never be able to wake up and would be trapped in them forever. The Dharma Protector wanted to break through with the power of the Dragon Balls, but he would inevitably go into a demonic state. Chai Yuguan was an example of this last time. Or, those with great determination could rely on the copper armor and meteorite copper to abandon their bodies and become demons of karma!

If the power of the Dragon Balls could truly allow one to break through realms, wouldn't the Zhang family be invincible by now?

Even someone like Ghost Yama of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, considered the true core of the Zhang family, only achieved his current strength through the Absorption Technique.

Hiss...

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation, even though Yue Shen thought about her own actions just now, she still broke out in a cold sweat.

If Zhang Xiaoshan hadn't stopped her, her breakthrough after absorbing the power of the Dragon Balls might have been extremely dangerous.

At least in this respect, Zhang Xiaoshan didn't seem to need to stop her.

After all, she had broken through to a higher level, which seemed to give her the right to demand more money.

Moreover, after the Dragon Balls appeared, Zhang Xiaoshan tried his best to stop everyone from using them to increase their strength.

As Zhang Xiaoshan said, Gui Yanluo is a true direct descendant of the Zhang family. If the Dragon Ball can enhance strength, Gui Yanluo will likely be the first to benefit.

After all, Ghost King Yama has always been on the front line of Ghost Street, and is the most likely expert to come into contact with Dragon Balls and Meteorite.

"Thank you for the reminder, young master!"

"This was my oversight. My intention was simply to prove that only meteorite copper can activate the Dragon Ball, thereby proving the authenticity and strangeness of the meteorite copper."

Zhang Xiaoshan retrieved the meteorite and slowly explained:

"The Zhang family uses meteorite copper, which is directly ground into powder and mixed into windmill copper for refining."

The same principle applies to refining elixirs of immortality. If there is a specific dosage, the Zhang family can sell them according to that dosage.

Damn it!

Everyone was stunned, never expecting Zhang Xiaoshan's way of making money to be so bizarre.

Not to mention that the Yin-Yang School couldn't do such a thing, no Qin Emperor would agree to being held by the throat like this.

"Young Master Zhang is too kind. All of this still requires His Majesty's decision."

"Zhang does not agree with the art of achieving immortality."

The metabolism in the human body is like the cycle of the five grains; birth, aging, sickness, and death are all ordained by nature.

To transcend fate and break the rules, one must inevitably disrupt the balance within the body, and the most likely outcome is becoming neither human nor ghost.

Zhang is still young, and with his Taoist internal strength mastered, his qi and blood are not depleted through rigorous training. Living for three or four hundred years is not a problem.

By then, everyone will have seen through everything, and who will still be concerned about life and death!

"The young man will be able to take it in stride."

Yes, if you live for three or four hundred years, what can't you see through?

Even if they can't see through it, their experience and knowledge far surpass their grasp of the secrets to immortality.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

Now that the boy has retrieved the meteorite, the transaction can be conducted at the new mansion villa; don't try anything else.

Furthermore, this matter cannot be kept secret from within the empire, and Zhang will tell the truth.

I urge you all to be careful!

"I'll understand later!"

They immediately realized that besides themselves, this was Lin'an Prefecture, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, this matter could not be kept secret from the Six Doors and Zhuge Shenhou's Mansion. As a result, they need to be even more careful in their next actions.

···

Back at the new villa, Zhang Xiaoshan was already clear about everyone's purpose.

As for how the transaction will proceed, Zhang Xiaoshan naturally has nothing to worry about.

With the item in his hands, he won't suffer any loss no matter what.

The amount of copper armor needed for three suits of armor is equivalent to one-fifth of the current amount of meteorite copper. This is why direct transactions require four divine herbs.

A single miraculous herb was enough to completely crush Chiyou Village's options.

This is not a cabbage!

Even with thousands of years of accumulation in Chiyou Village, it is believed that the number of plants would not exceed ten.
