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

Most of it was consumed directly in Jiangnan, with the remainder sent to the capital.

"Is it them?"

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the treasures brought by Liu Sheng Piaoxu.

The agarwood from the dense forests of Southeast Asia is extremely rare even in the Zhang family's possession. In the past, apart from giving it away, the Zhang family consumed most of it themselves.

The agarwood brought by Liusheng Piaoxu this time weighs more than ten kilograms!

The Persian Empire's gift, however, was a mysterious spear and fork wrapped in a blood-red shroud.

When Liu Sheng Piaoxu first took it, he didn't understand what it was, but how could Zhang Xiaoshan not understand?

These are the sacred relics of the Western Church of Light—the Shroud of Turin and the Spear that Kills God!

The Persian Empire was not the only dominant power in the West. To the east, Persia bordered ancient India and the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions; to the west, it faced the Roman Empire, which was ruled by the Church of Light.

Therefore, in the West, it was a battle between Persia and Rome, between Zoroastrianism and the Church of Light!

The two sides have been fighting for hundreds of years, and the grudges between them are so deep that Zhang Xiaoshan never expected that the Persian Empire would even get its hands on two treasures of the Church of Light.

"Young master, this is..."

Looking at the two gifts from the Persian Empire, even Liu Sheng Piaoxu couldn't understand what cryptic meaning the Persian Empire was trying to convey.

A blood-stained rag and a gun that looks like a harpoon don't seem like treasures.

But Zhang Xiaoshan examined the two treasures with great seriousness, clearly knowing their secrets.

"This is the Shroud of God, the Spear of Longinus that slays the gods."

These are sacred objects from the Church of Light in the far west of Persia, within the Roman Empire. Within the Church of Light, these two treasures are as supreme as the relics of Buddha Shakyamuni!

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation, Liu Sheng Piaoxu was at a loss for words.

Not long ago, Zhang Xiaoshan stormed the stronghold of the Tibetan Tantric sect and seized their most prized possession. Now, the Persian Empire has even sent over sacred objects from the Western Church of Light. This is an extreme concentration of firepower.

Once the incident comes to light, Zhang Xiaoshan will inevitably become the target of public criticism.

"Young Master?!" (Alright, alright)

"Take it. The Church of Light is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from us. They can't cause us any trouble if they want to."

"Besides, the demonic sword you wield was forged from cold stone, a gift from the Persian Empire. It's not a big deal to shield them from some trouble, especially since they did it under the guise of a gift."

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's words, Liu Sheng Piaoxu understood.

Even if the Church of Light knew that the item was with the Zhang family, it would be a pipe dream to send experts over.

As for seeking an alliance with the Central Plains powers? No one dares to challenge the Zhang family.

After all, the Church of Light and the Central Plains of China are separated by the Western Regions and the Persian Empire. How many forces in the Central Plains of China know of the existence of the Church of Light?

To offend a behemoth like the Zhang family for the sake of a few unknown foreigners is something only a fool would do.

"By the way, give the gallbladders of these two medicinal snakes to Shana and Tina so they can break through to the eighth level of the cultivation technique as soon as possible. When they do, their leg skills will be able to help them practice the Heavenly Crippled Divine Art, which will provide an extra layer of protection for the manor."

Zhang Xiaoshan took out two snake gallbladders from a medicinal snake and handed them to Liu Sheng Piaoxu.

Shana and Tina's talents are undoubtedly inferior to those of Yagyu Hyōshū.

After all, he's a latecomer to the art, and his physical training is quite demanding. It's unknown how long it will take him to break through to the eighth level of the Nine Yin Divine Skill.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan had no choice but to force them to break through and switch to cultivating the Heavenly Crippled Divine Art.

Chapter 458 Children's Paradise Sexual Sounds - A Trip to Wudang Mountain

"Welcome Pavilion?"

Looking at the Empire State Building in front of her, Princess Taiping thought it was some mysterious surprise. She never expected that Zhang Xiaoshan had brought her to this place.

They flirted here in the morning, and then Zhang Xiaoshan brought her here again in the afternoon.

"Alright, come with me!"

Zhang Xiaoshan, accompanied by Princess Taiping, entered the amusement park on the first floor through the back door.

This was a space that the Zhang family had been enclosing and renovating, leading many to believe that the Zhang family was planning to design a super large private room.

However, after Princess Taiping followed Zhang Xiaoshan in, the world before her eyes made her beautiful eyes sparkle.

This place is like a fairytale paradise, full of all sorts of imaginative buildings: mushroom houses, fairytale castles, ice and snow worlds... The azure sky design on the rooftops, with fluffy white clouds floating around, makes you feel like you've entered a fairytale world.

This was indeed a beautiful surprise.

"How about it?"

"This place was closed for six months just to create this space?"

Although romantic and beautiful, Princess Taiping remained absolutely rational, refusing to believe that the Zhang family would have spent half a year on such a seemingly useless 'fairytale world'.

"That's right, these were originally fairytale playgrounds for children to play in, using children to drive consumption in the restaurant."

But since you're the first guest today, just act like a child and relax! This is a paradise carefully prepared by the Zhang family. Relax, there's no usual scheming or infighting, only the carefree joy of childhood.

Even Princess Taiping couldn't help but sigh in admiration upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's business strategy.

As for relaxing, she did feel that there was nothing to be wary of here. The toys that the Zhang family prepared for the children could not possibly have any traps or mechanisms.

Besides, she didn't want to mix any other emotions into this romantic and beautiful world.

"Come on, I'll show you some fun things to do with 323."

Holding Zhang Xiaoshan's little hand, Princess Taiping's beautiful face involuntarily revealed a breathtaking smile.

"This is a bumper car, powered by a spring-loaded mechanism at the back."

Under normal circumstances, after the spring is wound up, it can last for up to half a cup of tea's time. For this reason, the steel sheet inside is made of the highest grade of wrought iron, which serves as the power source for the spring.

This handle controls direction; it's the activation mechanism; it's the mechanism that accelerates the impact...

Okay, go up and try it, you'll see!

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation, Princess Taiping was surprised to find that this seemingly simple toy was actually quite complex.

After Zhang Xiaoshan fastened her seatbelt, Princess Taiping watched as Zhang Xiaoshan crammed his enormous body into the small bumper car.

"Alright, watch how I play."

Under Zhang Xiaoshan's guidance, Princess Taiping, who was initially cautious, quickly became proficient in less than two minutes. Her sweet laughter and playful chatter amidst the bumps and knocks finally put her guard down.

Trampolines, carousels, the King's Castle...

Even as Princess Taiping played, she gradually let down her guard.

"what is this?"

Princess Taiping followed Zhang Xiaoshan to a small stall. Was she going to eat here?

"Hold on."

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the machine in front of him. It was a treasure designed by the master mechanic based on the principle of cotton candy, which took three months to complete.

The place was originally meant to be used for burning charcoal, but Zhang Xiaoshan directly melted some white sugar with his pure Yang Qi and added it in.

With the centrifugal force inside and the blower below, a cotton candy that looks like a white cloud was quickly formed in Zhang Xiaoshan's hands.

"How about trying some? Zhang's new product to attract the little ones—cotton candy!"

"Marshmallow? It really does look like cotton!"

The smooth and creamy texture, though only subtly sweet, offers an unprecedented experience.

"Delicious! I'll have another one with brown sugar!"

Princess Taiping's eyes lit up when she saw the can of brown sugar next to her.

Seeing Princess Taiping, with a white cloud in one hand and a red cloud in the other, eat a cotton candy, the other two couldn't bear to eat any.

"Alright, let's go upstairs for dinner!"

"Just a little longer, just a little while longer..."

Their coquettish tone and pleading expression made them look like a loving young couple.

With a helpless expression, Zhang Xiaoshan could only accompany Princess Taiping until midnight, when Yingbin Pavilion closed for the day before reluctantly leaving.

In just one afternoon, their relationship blossomed to the point where they acted like a young couple, laughing and joking without any awkwardness.

The following time included outdoor sketching, boating on Daming Lake, and paragliding...

Just as Zhang Xiaoshan had predicted, Princess Taiping gradually opened her heart, and her cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds.

However, it wasn't that Princess Taiping truly achieved a state of perfect peace of mind, but rather that the spiritual power of the Queen Mother of the West gradually and unconsciously took root in Princess Taiping's Dao heart when she relaxed.

This was also Zhang Xiaoshan's goal.

In the world of martial arts, there is no such thing as possession or rebirth; there is only the spiritual fusion of the Dao heart and the seed of demons.

Therefore, the spiritual fusion of the two will give birth to a new 'Princess Taiping', and what Zhang Xiaoshan is eyeing is the rebirth of Princess Taiping.

She is both Princess Taiping and the Queen Mother of the West!

···

"Amitabha! This humble monk, Xingyin, has come to congratulate Zhang Wuxia's son on his wedding!"

A loud shout echoed throughout the entire Wudang Mountain.

Suddenly, the martial arts community on Wudang Mountain, which had been bustling with distinguished guests and exchanging compliments, fell into complete silence.

At Zhang Wuji's wedding, most of the people who came to congratulate him were 'mid-level experts' from various factions, rather than core high-ranking members.

After all, this wasn't Zhang Sanfeng's birthday celebration, but just the wedding of a third-generation disciple.

But now the Zhang family has actually sent a Grandmaster. There are very few forces in the entire Nine Provinces that possess Grandmaster-level combat power.

The people in the main hall (bjca) were beings they could only look up to.

Even the Seven Heroes of Wudang couldn't help but exchange glances, their hearts filled with extreme shock.

Besides being a Grandmaster of Sexual Sound, he was also a veritable god of death. The last time the heroes of the martial arts world were killed, it was by the Blood Droplets under his command.

If it weren't for those top experts secretly observing the situation and possibly making their final move, none of them would have survived.

Even the legendary leader of the Twelve Zodiac Killers—the Demon Buddha—was a disciple of this great monk.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoshan sent this god of war to congratulate Zhang Wuji on his wedding.

They feared that Xingyin might suddenly become murderous and slaughter the entire Wudang Mountain.

"Song Yuanqiao (Yu Lianzhou, Yu Daiyan...) of Wudang greets the Master!"

As they reached the halfway point of the mountain, they saw Xingyin approaching with a monk's staff in hand. His imposing, strong, and robust physique shocked the Seven Heroes of Wudang, even though they had heard rumors that this great monk was twelve feet tall.

Is such a huge body even human?

The sheer size advantage alone is enough to create absolute dominance.

It's like an adult dominating a child; there's absolute physical dominance.

"So it's the Seven Heroes of Wudang! I greet you!"

Looking at Xingyin, who had the air of a master, the martial arts heroes behind him trembled in fear before his towering figure.

Even if Xingyin has a kind and benevolent appearance, it still cannot change the fact that he is the leader of the Blood Droplets.

Moreover, since Xingyin took control of the Blood Droplets, he has personally killed at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, people, so his hands are covered in blood!

"Master please!"

The visitor was a guest, especially a Grandmaster, so even Song Yuanqiao dared not be negligent.

"Amitabha! Master, you have come from afar. This old Taoist has failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me!"

As soon as he stepped into the Zixiao Palace, Zhang Sanfeng was already there to greet him.

After all, for a grandmaster like Zhang Sanfeng to personally greet a guest is the true 'etiquette'.

"Master Zhang is too kind. This time, Xingyin is acting on Young Master's orders."

First, they came to congratulate Zhang Wuxia's son on his wedding and presented him with a gift—the Nine Yang Divine Skill!

Secondly, it was to explain the matter of the Great Seal last time, so as to prevent some petty people from needlessly throwing their lives away.

After all, at Xingyin's level, if he were to unleash the Tathagata Palm, a casual strike would possess the power to shatter the heavens and split the earth. Leaving behind a ten-zhang-long handprint would be nothing more than a five-zhang-long Vajra Palm imprint!
