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

I never expected Zhang Xiaoshan to possess such valuable items; the dragon fish meat was merely the least valuable treasure among them.

Like fish blood, it can directly increase one's power.

Zhang Xiaoshan used it on Li Mochou, Ji Yaohua, and four maids.

As for Huang Rong and her sisters?

Unless you consume a large quantity to satisfy your hunger, it won't be very effective.

After all, the Nine Yin Divine Skill they cultivated was extremely yin and cold in its true qi, and was extremely pure.

Instead of the demon king, one needs to cleanse one's marrow and refine one's essence to alleviate the conflict of true qi, or even refine the impure true qi, in order to break through to the ultimate realm.

Zhang Xiaoshan preserved the fish brain; even if its function is unknown, its value is self-evident.

There are also the dragon tendons that are impossible to bite, the fish maw that is comparable to the Dragon Source, and the shark fin that is one of the eight treasures of the sea... How could Jin Jiuling not be jealous when he thought of these martial arts treasures?

And this isn't the first time.

Starting eight or nine years ago, Zhang Xiaoshan had caught this legendary sea treasure more than once.

The reason why those female constables were willing to go to sea with Zhang Xiaoshan was not only because of the mental relaxation, but also because of the allure of these treasures.

It should be noted that these female constables are not only the beauties of the Six Doors, but also possess formidable strength, with martial arts skills far surpassing those of ordinary Six Doors constables.

These were all gifts from Zhang Xiaoshan.

His life pales in comparison to Zhang Xiaoshan's.

Whether in terms of enjoyment or opportunities.

At this moment, jealousy undoubtedly made his face contorted with rage. In Jin Jiuling's heart, he wanted to possess everything Zhang Xiaoshan had.

All of this requires a perfect and flawless plan.

It's important to know Zhang Xiaoshan's strength, the Zhang family's influence, and even the women around him—all are top-tier experts.

Chapter 412 Settling in Peach Blossom Island

"Young master, news has just come from Ghost Street!"

Peach Blossom Island is Zhang Xiaoshan's resting place.

As for the Zhang family's secret base, Zhang Xiaoshan didn't want too many people to know about it.

After all, Zhang Xiaoshan's location was like a candle in the dark, attracting many eyes. Staying at the Zhang family's secret base would inevitably risk exposure.

Therefore, he chose Peach Blossom Island, which is well-known to the public.

Although the island is now deserted, it has been renovated and transformed into a paradise.

Moreover, this is Huang Rong's home, and she feels a sense of belonging here.

Jin Jiuling

Zhang Xiaoshan glanced at the message sent by Ghost Street. It wasn't a message from Ghost Street, but rather one sent by Ji Yaohua through Ghost Yama.

On the boat, he noticed that something was wrong with Mo Niang.

Sure enough, under Ji Yaohua's careful observation, she discovered that Mo Niang, whom she trusted implicitly, had actually betrayed her.

If Ruomoniang is simply looking for someone she truly loves, Ji Yaohua has nothing to say and even offers her heartfelt blessings.

But who was Jin Jiuling?

After seeing the communication between Mo Niang and Jin Jiuling, Ji Yaohua knew that Mo Niang had betrayed her.

Jin Jiuling is the most talented and also the most enigmatic among the Four Great Constables. Once Hengdao steps down, Jin Jiuling will inevitably take his place.

In terms of skill and intelligence, he surpasses even the former master of catching Liu Jiyan.

Mo Niang, also known as Xiao Mo, is one of the four top experts by Ji Yaohua's side. Along with Ruyi, Chun Chan, and Feng Ming, she can be considered Ji Yaohua's right-hand woman and a renowned iron lady of the Six Doors.

Even Zhang Xiaoshan didn't expect that Mo Niang would become Jin Jiuling's lover.

Jin Jiuling was unaware that Ji Yaohua was one of his people.

Zhang Xiaoshan could only think to himself, "What a clever scheme!"

If he hadn't discovered on the ship that Mo Niang was suspected of having lost her virginity, this knife might have been plunged straight into Ji Yaohua's heart.

He knew Jin Jiuling was not an easy person to control, but he didn't expect him to scheme against the people around him so quickly.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan did not fly into a rage because of this, and directly executed Jin Jiuling.

Ultimately, Jin Jiuling's strength was nothing compared to his—like an ant trying to shake a tree, or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Moreover, in Zhang Xiaoshan's view, those female constables should also find someone to marry. Not to mention that Ji Yaohua is already his woman, even if these female constables have a deep sisterly bond with Ji Yaohua, they are still women after all.

A woman's biggest weakness is her emotions.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan wrote two secret letters, one to Gui Yanluo and the other to Ji Yaohua.

Mo Niang's betrayal was merely a trigger; the root cause was simply that men should marry when they reach a certain age and women should marry when they reach a certain age.

These female constables have gone from being as beautiful as flowers in their youth to old maids.

Even if one has cultivated profound internal skills, it is not a Taoist secret technique for preserving youth. Therefore, after another ten years, signs of aging will inevitably appear, and then the effects will no longer be possible.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan's letter was to find a reliable home for these female constables.

This way, Ji Yaohua's troubles are relieved, and she can return to Zhang Xiaoshan's side.

The Song Dynasty is no longer of any value to infiltrate.

Moreover, even without Ji Yaohua, Zhang Xiaoshan still has a trump card—Jin Jiuling.

I believe this incident will definitely make Ji Yaohua make up her mind.

"Young Master, news has just arrived from the north that Ding Peng has fallen off a cliff and his fate is unknown!"

This is yet another piece of bad news. At least Liu Sheng Piaoxu knows that Ding Peng is the recipient of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill".

If he dies, the Zhang family will suffer a heavy loss.

Moreover, Ding Peng was Zhang Xiaoshan's gamble; his martial arts talent was undeniable, so the loss would be substantial.

"His fate is uncertain, but this is his doom!"

Although it was a charade, Zhang Xiaoshan knew that Ding Peng was not really dead; his fall into the sea was the beginning of his resurrection.

Moreover, the True Qi of the Wedding Dress within Ding Peng's body had already begun to take effect.

This Zen finger strike itself is based on the 'sudden enlightenment' of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill. It can be said that the characteristic of being resurrected from the dead, combined with the true Qi of the Wedding Dress, makes Ding Peng gain even greater benefits.

It can even be compared to the complete version of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill.

"This calamity has passed, and he will surely rise to the heavens like a dragon."

"Have Ghost Street keep an eye on the north. Things might be a bit chaotic right now, especially around Hu Long Manor. I believe there should be some activity within a year or two, and we should also hear news about Ding Peng."

"Yes, son!"

···

The news that Zhang Xiaoshan had not settled in Lin'an Prefecture but instead settled in Peach Blossom Island suddenly spread throughout the entire country.

When the Hong Mansion opened, everyone thought that the Zhang family would definitely return to Lin'an Prefecture, but unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoshan went to Peach Blossom Island to settle down.

Clearly, he hasn't let go of what happened back then.

However, even they wouldn't be able to easily let go of the grudges from back then.

This is not a case of ordinary people being powerless to resist those in power.

If it weren't for the fact that merchants value harmony, the Zhang family's power would have been enough to disrupt the peace of Lin'an Prefecture simply by the birth of that evil dragon.

That was a ten-zhang-long evil dragon, impervious to swords and spears, and possessing immense strength.

Moreover, the Zhang family's strongest trump cards—the Four Bronze-Armored Warriors, the Blood Droplets, and the Twelve Zodiac Assassins...

They are terrifying beings that inspire fear in all who hear of them.

If we were to storm the palace, it wouldn't be a matter of 100,000 imperial guards, but rather a matter of a million soldiers, and we could take the head of a general.

On Peach Blossom Island.

Although the small pavilion left by Huang Yaoshi was exquisite, it didn't suit Zhang Xiaoshan's aesthetic, or rather, it lacked the softness of a Simmons mattress, the convenience of a bar, and the outdoor swimming pool...

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan had lime, steel bars, and strong bricks brought from Ghost Street in advance...

With Zhang Xiaoshan's pure Yang Qi used for piling, drying, and strengthening... in less than half a month, with the hard work of hundreds of craftsmen, a mountaintop villa was suddenly completed.

Moreover, it is close to the sea base, and the decorative glass products, tiles, mahogany... are in no way inferior to the villas in the capital.

There's also a large outdoor swimming pool, which is practically paradise for Zhang Xiaoshan.

As for the island's defenses, Zhang Xiaoshan tampered with the main formation on Peach Blossom Island.

Qimen Dunjia uses a peach grove as its array, while Zhang Xiaoshan directly planted a large number of love flowers in the peach grove.

Although they are just seedlings, they can grow into a sea of ​​flowers in just a few months.

If you're not careful, you'll definitely get poisoned!

In addition, Zhang Xiaoshan also placed a large number of dolphins in another bay, with the three-zhang-long (approximately 10 meters) white dolphin leading the school.

Once a vessel appears within 30 nautical miles, the white dolphin will use ultrasonic waves to sound an alarm.

In this way, it becomes a natural radar.

With dolphins here, it's usually the best vacation spot, much better than Bali in later generations.

Zhang Xiaoshan also frequently returned to Shen Du.

Tens of thousands of miles away, it sounds very far.

But for Zhang Xiaoshan, even if he traveled at full speed using his lightness skill, it would only take him three days.

Even if he used his gliding dragon wings to travel, the round trip would only take two days.

What's more, he was using the dragon wing of a three-zhang-long dragon fish.

The length of just one dragon wing when folded together is seventeen or eighteen feet, enough for a roc to spread its wings and soar through the heavens.

Chapter 413 Jue Tong Returns to the New World's Specialties

"Young Master, Master Juetong has arrived!"

At this moment, a giant Fujian-style ship, fifty feet long and thirty feet wide, slowly docked at the Peach Blossom Island pier.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaoshan, who was cultivating in the mountaintop villa, also opened his eyes.

The sudden appearance of this super flagship is not a coincidence, but rather a sign that it has reached a state of enlightenment and is preparing to transmit its power for liberation.

Because Jue Tong's foundation was poor, the Zhang family had not broken through the requirements for dispersing their internal energy before leaving Lin'an Prefecture. It was not until half a year ago that they barely broke through and reached the standard for dispersing their internal energy.

In six years, Jue Tong had not even reached the peerless realm.

Even Zhang Xiaoshan didn't know if it was because he was far from Kyushu and couldn't adapt to the local environment.

This time, Jue Tong is going to pass on his skills, and the person with the opportunity is none other than a Shaolin monk named Wu Ming!

Wuming is a Dharma name, which is similar to the meaning of "nameless".

Wu Ming is one of the best Shaolin monks this time, and he is only thirty-four or thirty-five years old, which is the peak age for martial arts training.

On the dock, Zhang Xiaoshan watched the crowd disembarking. The two leading figures were Jue Tong and 'Indian' Long Bo.

So he quickly cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and said:

"Master! Senior Longbo!"

"Amitabha Buddha, greetings, young master!"

Looking at the young man who was still young and hadn't lost his charm, and even the women around him were just as young, Jue Tong naturally understood the wonders of Zhang Xiaoshan's main cultivation of Xuanmen techniques.

May you live a long and healthy life, and remain forever young!

Meanwhile, Longbo, who was standing next to Juetong, and many other Indians were also looking at Zhang Xiaoshan with curiosity.

After their tribe cooperated with the Zhang family, they basically broke away from the slash-and-burn agriculture.

In addition to being materially self-sufficient, the Zhang family could also supply those luxuries that were temporarily unattainable.
