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

Even though she was in Tianshan, she knew that the Zhang family was not to be trifled with. Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan's presence in Tianshan during his seclusion was no coincidence.

Therefore, after calming down, the white-haired witch suppressed her desire and solemnly said:

"Does the young master have any other requests?"

"The Zhang family recruits experts not based on their qualifications and strength, but on their background."

Zhang had heard of the girl's reputation and story before he approached her family to recruit her.

As for the conditions? Just don't betray the Zhang family.

After joining the Zhang family, the girl only needs to stay near Tianshan and cooperate with Lingjiu Palace to assist the Zhang family's merchant guild.

After all, the young lady is suited to the most yin and cold true qi, therefore the Zhang family will not easily assign her any other tasks before her martial arts skills are fully developed!

The white-haired witch looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief; the offer was too good to be true.

It's practically like giving it away for free.

For a moment, the white-haired witch couldn't help but look at Zhang Xiaoshan with suspicion, wondering if he had ulterior motives.

"Young Master's terms are too good for Lian Ni Chang, who is '387'!"

"If you feel unworthy of this, young lady, then once you have mastered your divine skills, you should live up to the expectations of the Zhang family."

Just as the girl said before, the Zhang family is full of experts. Unless they are grandmasters, they are not of much help to the Zhang family.

Moreover, the Zhang family is never short of experts. Even if there are unparalleled masters, the Zhang family can spare five at a time, so there is no need for the girl to come from the Tianshan Mountains. At that time, the Zhang family will not lack a single girl to meet the difficulties they face.

Besides, a cunning rabbit has three burrows; if anything happens to the Zhang family, this place is their backup plan!

"Thank you so much, young master!"

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's arrangements, Lian Nishang was both shocked by the Zhang family's terrifying nature and amazed by Zhang Xiaoshan's scheme.

The ability to readily deploy five unparalleled masters is a feat unmatched even by the four great empires. One unparalleled master is undoubtedly the pillar of a top-tier power.

Zhu Wushi of the Ming Dynasty and Tong Guan of the Song Dynasty were merely grandmasters in name only.

Moreover, the Zhang family has far more unparalleled masters hidden than these.

As for planning?

A cunning rabbit has three burrows; one should always keep something in reserve when doing things.

If she didn't reveal that she was from the Zhang family, who in the Nine Provinces would know that she, Jade Rakshasa, was from the Zhang family?

Even if the Zhang family has suffered a major setback, they still have the strength to make a comeback, and the Zhang family should have more than just this one hideout.

Thinking of the 'Lingjiu Palace' that Zhang Xiaoshan mentioned before, it should be the same.

Even the White-Haired Witch couldn't help but feel a sense of dread.

"You should eat the Udumbara flower first."

As for the cultivation technique, I will visit the Witch's Palace for three days before I leave.

"Thank you, sir!"

Lian Ni Chang watched Zhang Xiaoshan's departing figure.

Her lightness skill was so fast that even at her peak level, she only saw a fleeting shadow.

Moreover, after soaring dozens of feet through the air, Zhang Xiaoshan unfolded a wing-like glider in the air, and with the help of the strong wind speed at the wind gap, he actually spread his wings and soared into the sky.

This move even shocked the White-Haired Witch.

I never imagined that Zhang Xiaoshan's lightness skill had reached such a terrifying level.

Leaping ten zhang in a single bound, traversing the waves with ease, and finally soaring into the sky...

···

"Son!"

Behind Lingjiu Palace, the four sword servants who were cultivating bowed respectfully.

After a period of arduous training and honing their swordsmanship, the Four Swordsmen had reached a level of consummate skill, even if their sword techniques were merely superficial.

But they were only doing this to complete Zhang Xiaoshan's mission. Anyway, they already knew the swordsmanship, and they could study it slowly later.

"Thank you for your hard work during this time."

"Practice tonight, and tomorrow I will guide you in practicing the sword formation."

"Yes!"

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the four sword attendants, and finally glanced at the beautiful woman to one side, whose eyes were filled with spring and whose charm was naturally alluring, as if he wanted to devour her.

"Little pervert!"

"Humph!"

When Azi saw Zhang Xiaoshan return from his seclusion, her skin was even better than before.

Its delicate texture was almost identical to that of the Jade of Spiritual Enlightenment, not to mention its otherworldly aura, which made her drool with desire.

"You don't know, my cultivation speed recently has been slower than what I used to achieve in three days."

"Or, why don't you wait until I break through to the Grandmaster level before you leave?"

"Little girl, you're just daydreaming."

The Grandmaster realm is not easy to break through, so why should I teach you the tenth level of mental cultivation after you have reached the ninth level?

First, the teachings are not easily passed on; the mental techniques of a Grandmaster can condense pure Yin energy.

Secondly, breaking through to the Grandmaster level is extremely difficult; the peak of the ninth level may be the bottleneck for your entire life.

To break through to the Grandmaster level, without a great stroke of luck, it generally requires more than ten years of joint cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Azi naturally knew all of this.

She said all this just to get Zhang Xiaoshan to stay, but unfortunately, that heartless man...

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have boarded the pirate ship.

The next day, Zhang Xiaoshan began to instruct the four sword servants in their cultivation.

The variations of these four sword techniques, as Zhang Xiaoshan analyzed these sword moves, are actually the foundation of sword techniques.

Otherwise, how could Zhang Xiaoshan have created such exquisite sword moves in such a short period of time?

However, without the sword manual, these sword moves are dead. Even if the sword user has a high level of comprehension, it will only be another set of sword techniques, not the four peerless sword techniques.

Moreover, the sword techniques also include Flying Willow Force, Hundred Flowers Sword Technique, Frost Force, and Crescent Moon Sword Qi.

These are all unique and represent the true essence of these four peerless sword techniques.

However, although the four sword servants' sword techniques were not even at the very basic level of the Four Swords Technique, they were indispensable, just like a military exercise sandbox.

Starting from the second day, under Zhang Xiaoshan's command.

Their sword techniques, combined and mixed, form a series of dangerous and unpredictable sword formations.

Even without sword energy, the changes and practice of the sword formation greatly inspired the four sword servants.

Even Azi, who was standing to the side, noted down the evolution of the sword formation.

Even without the essence of the sword technique, the power of these sword moves and sword formations is enough to make them the treasures of their Lingjiu Palace.

As Zhang Xiaoshan observed the changes in their sword formation, his primordial spirit also evolved, deducing that he desired the most powerful sword formation.

It took another ten days for Zhang Xiaoshan to emerge from the seclusion behind the mountain.

Besides being exploited by A Zi, Zhang Xiaoshan's recent spiritual deductions have also taken a toll on him, leaving him somewhat pale.

However, the results were remarkable.

Another 80,000 merits were accumulated, bringing the total to 200,000 merits, finally allowing the sword formation that Zhang Xiaoshan desired to be created—

Flying Immortal Sword Technique (Formation)!

Zhang Xiaoshan had originally given up on the Flying Immortal Sword Technique...

After all, this sword technique requires a master who has cultivated both Yin and Yang Qi to the point of reaching the realm of creation and transformation in order to unleash the full power of the Flying Immortal Sword Technique.

Zhang Xiaoshan no longer needs it, and naturally he wouldn't let anyone else put a hat on him.

When these four sword techniques are combined, they are like the Three-Part Returning to Origin Qi, which can fuse the four sword energies into one, transforming them into a sword energy comparable to the Flying Immortal Sword Technique.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan named it Flying Immortal Sword Technique, replacing the original Flying Immortal Sword Technique.

With 200,000 merits, four peerless sword techniques, and one unparalleled sword manual, Zhang Xiaoshan knew he had made a huge profit.

···

At the summit of Tianshan Mountain, the wind is high and the moon is cold.

Zhang Xiaoshan was sitting cross-legged at this moment. He had been sitting here for a day and a night after completing the Flying Immortal Sword Technique.

Azi was also looking at Zhang Xiaoshan; she knew he was working on the final step of integrating the sword techniques—

Four swords combined into one!

Otherwise, this would only be a sword formation, not a single, unparalleled sword technique.

Under the full moon, Zhang Xiaoshan suddenly opened his starry eyes, and a sword light shot out from them.

This divine light was so real that even though Azi only saw the flash of the sword light, she felt a splitting headache.

At the same time, around Zhang Xiaoshan, sword shadows condensed into sword energy and sword light, hundreds, thousands... even tens of thousands of sword energies.

The area of ​​influence expanded from three zhang around him to within ten zhang, with countless sword energies and sword beams flying back and forth.

There was no grand, sweeping display of swords returning to their origin, no inescapable net or maze; only the crisscrossing sword energy, dancing in the air.

Sword Prison!

This is Zhang Xiaoshan's ultimate move, a complete fusion of four sword techniques.

Within the Sword Prison, ten thousand swords crisscross, dominating all directions.

Moreover, each sword aura was like a condensed, tangible sword energy, dancing around Zhang Xiaoshan's body, rather than the sword aura of ten thousand swords returning to their origin, which would disappear in a short time.

The longer the sword energy within the Sword Prison exists, the more terrifying its power becomes.

Finally, they converged into beams of sword light. What kind of power do tens of thousands of sword beams possess?

Even a grandmaster is nothing more than a finger's touch from Zhang Xiaoshan in the face of the sword's light.

"It's done!"

With a soft moan, Azi's beautiful eyes brightened involuntarily.

Looking at the terrifying Sword Prison before her, Azi's heart was filled with anticipation. If she mastered this supreme sword technique, would she also be able to command ten thousand swords like Zhang Xiaoshan?

These sword energies are not simply the return of ten thousand swords to their origin; they transcend the sword prison of the return of ten thousand swords to their origin.

go with!

Zhang Xiaoshan stood three zhang in the air, and with a flick of his finger, all the vast sword energy within the Sword Prison condensed at his fingertip.

boom!

The sword light, formed by countless sword energies, sliced ​​across the mountaintop beneath their feet as easily as cutting vegetables.

With a loud, clear bang, Azi looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in shock and anger.

earthquake? avalanche?

Zhang Xiaoshan's sword strike on the mountaintop left more than just a sword mark.

The sword's attack was powerful enough to kill a Grandmaster, let alone the fact that the summit of Tianshan was a snow-capped mountain.

Azi felt herself lose her balance, but a large hand wrapped around her slender waist.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaoshan did not open his hang glider, but the cold, damp air beneath his feet condensed into a pair of skis.

With Ah Zi's scream, she plummeted vertically down the avalanche.

Ah!

Even at her peak, A Zi was still screaming incessantly.
