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

That meteorite copper has a very close relationship with Zhang Xiaoshan; it is no ordinary object.

"Young friend, I am Xuanxu, the leader of Kunlun Sect."

Last night, while observing the celestial phenomena, I saw my young friend descend from the sky and fall into the depths of Kunlun. That is why I brought my young friend to the Kunlun Taoist sect.

I've also heard that you are from a lower realm Daoist sect. Would you be willing to join my Kunlun Daoist sect and inherit the Dao of Heaven and Man?

Upon hearing the old man's invitation, Zhang Xiaoshan did not hesitate and immediately bowed respectfully:

"Disciple Zhang Xiaoshan greets the Sect Leader!"

Why is he called the sect leader instead of the master?

Because Zhang Xiaoshan became a disciple of the Kunlun Daoist sect, not the old man's.

As the head of the Kunlun Sect, Zhang Xiaoshan didn't think he could become someone's direct disciple just because he had joined the sect.

"Hehe, young friend, please rise."

Since you have joined my Kunlun Daoist sect, you are now one of us.

Originally, the old Taoist priest wanted to personally take on disciples, but he was about to ascend to immortality and could not spare the time to teach his young friend.

Your talent is exceptional, even in the entire Kunlun region, not to mention your outstanding comprehension.

Thus, young friend, you are now a direct disciple of the third generation, and have become a disciple of my youngest apprentice, Lin Xian.

"Thank you, Master!"

···

Three more days passed, and through a series of questions and answers, Zhang Xiaoshan gradually came to understand the cultivation world of the land of China.

For example, the Kunlun Sect is divided into the Eight Palaces of Kunlun, among which the Kunlun Dao Sect is the head of the eight palaces and is also the Kunlun Immortal Sect with a long history. It guards the Kunlun Realm and has the strongest strength.

The other seven palaces of Kunlun are either in decline (Qionghua), powerful (Tianyong), or secluded...

After all, the Kunlun Mountains are too vast, and even the Kunlun Daoist sect only occupies the Jade Capital Mountain, which has the most abundant spiritual energy, and is protected by a sect-protecting formation.

In other places in Kunlun rich in spiritual energy, there are not only the ancient Kunlun Eight Palaces, but also the lineages of some immortal cultivation sects.

For example, Lin Xian'er, whom Zhang Xiaoshan apprenticed to, was Xuanxu's junior disciple, and her cave dwelling was located in the Yaochi Immortal Palace, which was in no way inferior to the Kunlun Eight Palaces.

This is another blessed land in the Kunlun Mountains, and also a place for female disciples to cultivate.

Indeed, Zhang Xiaoshan joined the Yaochi Immortal Palace, a sect comprised almost entirely of women, and was the only male disciple there.

The reason why the old Taoist Xuanxu did this was that Zhang Xiaoshan's innate pure yang Dao foundation made him the best Daoist partner for the disciples of Yaochi Immortal Palace.

Moreover, since Zhang Xiaoshan was able to create the Pure Yin Divine Skill in the lower realm, which could be combined with the Pure Yang Qi Cultivation Method, he could naturally create similar techniques in the cultivation world as well.

This was another arrangement he made for Zhang Xiaoshan.

Most of the female disciples of Yaochi Immortal Palace cultivate pure Yin techniques, and many of them have severed Xuan Yin meridians, which they resolve by relying on top-tier pure Yin techniques.

However, if combined with the Pure Yang Technique, it would undoubtedly be twice as effective, but it would only make one a cripple.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan's experiences in the lower realm made Xuanxu realize that Zhang Xiaoshan was no ordinary person.

With numerous female relatives, the ultimate state of being in perfect Yin and Yang might be the key to Zhang Xiaoshan's ability to forge a pure Yang Dao foundation.

While a disciple like Zhang Xiaoshan would be a highly promising one in the Jade Void Palace, his potential would not be fully realized.

The Way of Pure Yang and Pure Yin!

Top-tier comprehension!

The situation is different in Yaochi Palace. The only male disciple there, and one with a pure yang foundation and innate Dao body, means that Tang Sanzang has definitely entered a monster's den.

On the fifth day, Zhang Xiao was taken to the Jade Pool Immortal Palace by the old Taoist.

After all, the sudden addition of a male disciple to the Yaochi Immortal Palace, where female disciples cultivate, is no small matter, and he must make arrangements personally.

In addition, the old Taoist priest also needs to explain Zhang Xiaoshan's special circumstances.

At the very least, junior disciples should be wary of Zhang Xiaoshan. If Zhang Xiaoshan were to stray into evil ways, they should immediately expel him from the sect to prevent future troubles.

"Xian'er greets Master!"

"We pay our respects to the Sect Leader!"

Inside the Jade Pool Immortal Palace, the female disciples all bowed and knelt down as the old Taoist priest descended.

The young man behind the old man also drew curious glances from the female disciples, who knew that Kunlun disciples were forbidden from entering this place except for the sect leader or some elders.

As for Zhang Xiaoshan, he was stunned by the beautiful scenery before him.

The Kunlun Jade Void Hall is solemn, majestic, magnificent, and imposing.

The Jade Pool Palace is magnificent and beautiful, like a fairyland.

Deep within the jade palaces and towers, five-colored rays of light shone brilliantly; in the flower gardens, peach and plum blossoms fell like snowflakes, dancing in the air; all around were towering peaks and strange rocks, sheer cliffs rising thousands of feet, among which white cranes and deer could be faintly seen leaping...

This blessed land, with its graceful and beautiful female disciples, was so enchanting that even Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't help but marvel at how it was truly a paradise on earth.

Moreover, he will continue his cultivation here in the future, so there is no doubt that this old Taoist priest has treated him very well.

Chapter 911 The Great Pit Left by the Mysterious Old Taoist

"Disciple greets Palace Master!"

Zhang Xiaoshan didn't dare to move at all. He could imagine the incredibly beautiful face above him, with eyes that were icy cold. If he showed even the slightest hint of disrespect, he would be instantly expelled from the party.

There are no male disciples in the Jade Pool Immortal Palace. At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan is a lone green figure amidst a sea of ​​flowers, and danger may befall him at any moment.

This is definitely not a good thing. At least Zhang Xiaoshan understands that the old Taoist is definitely not just looking for a Taoist partner for him or cultivating with a woman.

After a thorough investigation, Zhang Xiaoshan understood the background of this palace master.

This Yaochi Palace Master is none other than the master of Yaochi Immortal Fortress in the Legend of Shushan, but in the end, she did not meet a good end. She, along with Zen Master Xiaoru and a group of disciples of Yaochi Immortal Palace, were frozen in the Immortal Palace by the Blood Demon.

That old Taoist priest, Xuanxu, was of profound cultivation. He probably foresaw that his junior disciple would face a fatal calamity, which is why he sent him here.

Zhang Xiaoshan is a person who cultivates merit and has profound blessings, possessing countless merits.

Otherwise, even with a pure Yang Dao foundation, it would be impossible to place him in a place like Yaochi Immortal Palace that only accepts female disciples.

Even if the excuse is to help those women with severed Yin meridians cultivate, it is still completely inconsistent with the style of the Kunlun Sect Master.

Moreover, the attitude of the Jade Pool Palace Master towards me goes without saying.

For a moment, Zhang Xiaoshan felt a mix of emotions.

He didn't know about the timeline, and his strength was only at the first stage of the Golden Core realm.

If he were to rebuild the Kunlun Dao Technique, it might take hundreds of years to achieve success, so he might become one of the unlucky ones at that time.

After all, even Ding Yin and Master Xiao Ru were no match for the Blood Demon incarnation.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoshan respectfully said:

"Master, may I descend the mountain to cultivate?"

"Go down the mountain to cultivate?"

Upon hearing this, the Palace Mistress of Yaochi frowned slightly. She hadn't expected that Zhang Xiaoshan would prepare to go down the mountain to cultivate so soon after entering the Yaochi Immortal Palace.

"Do you know the purpose of the sect leader sending you to the Jade Pool Immortal Palace for cultivation?"

"I know, but I am a cultivator from the lower realm, accumulating merits to cultivate."

Therefore, one can accumulate merit and receive blessings through cultivation in the mortal realm; however, disciples within the celestial palace cannot accumulate mortal merit to aid their cultivation.

Cultivating merit?

This is a method of cultivation according to the righteous path.

However, the only person who could use merit for his own benefit was Zhang Xiaoshan.

At this moment, the cold expression of the Palace Master of Yaochi Palace softened considerably. Since Zhang Xiaoshan was able to cultivate the Merit Cultivation Method, he was not one of those despicable people. Otherwise, the Sect Leader would not have placed Zhang Xiaoshan in Yaochi Immortal Palace.

"Your cultivation is still shallow, and you are practicing methods from the lower realms. You don't even have a protective magic weapon. It's not the right time yet."

The Palace Mistress of Yaochi glanced at Zhang Xiaoshan, her slender fingers gracefully flicking a finger into the void.

However, the futon beneath Zhang Xiaoshan's feet carried him directly into a grand hall in the distance.

"The sect leader said that you have innate talent and exceptional comprehension, and that you may be allowed to cultivate on your own."

From now on, you will reside in the Sutra Repository, and your disciples will bring you one meal a day. Only after you have achieved sufficient spiritual cultivation may you descend the mountain for further training!

The light and melodious voice lingered in Zhang Xiaoshan's ears, but the figure had already disappeared from his sight, and at the same time, Zhang Xiaoshan entered the vast Sutra Repository.

This is the library of the Jade Pool Immortal Palace, which basically replicates most of the classics of the Kunlun Taoist sect.

As for certain secret cultivation methods, they are not included.

Before leaving, the old Taoist priest handed over a volume of "Supreme Golden Chapter", a volume of "Kunlun Qi Cultivation Chapter", a volume of "Kunlun Sword Control Chapter", and three volumes of "Strange Tales of China" to Zhang Xiaoshan.

The Supreme Golden Chapter contains only two chapters: Refining Essence into Qi and Refining Qi into Spirit.

There are no specific techniques, and the content is so enigmatic that it is difficult to understand.

However, the Supreme Golden Chapter is actually the true foundation of the Kunlun Taoist sect, just like the hidden heavenly book of the Qingyun Sect and the Tianyin Pavilion. It is the general outline from which all cultivation methods are derived.

The ancient Kunlun sect was divided into eight palaces because each of them studied the "Supreme Golden Chapter" and comprehended the Kunlun Qi Cultivation Technique, which leads to the same goal despite different paths.

It was because Zhang Xiaoshan possessed a pure Yang constitution and exceptionally high comprehension that the Taoist Master Xuanxu entrusted the Supreme Golden Chapter to him.

The Kunlun Qi Cultivation Manual is the specific cultivation method of the Kunlun Taoist sect, divided into three parts: upper, middle, and lower.

The first part is about cultivating Qi; the second part is about condensing the Golden Elixir; and the third part is about cultivating the Primordial Spirit.

Similarly, only the first and second parts are available here; Zhang Xiaoshan will not need the third part yet.

The Sword Control Chapter features sword control techniques and several powerful sword skills, divided into Demon Slayer, Monster Slayer, Ghost Slayer, and even Immortal Slayer.

As the name suggests, "Tales of Gods and Demons" records strange and unusual events that happened on the land of China.

The first volume records ancient and medieval texts, most of which are mentioned only briefly, or consist of a few accounts of gods, demons, and mythical beasts.

The second volume records major events in the land over the past ten thousand years: the emergence of demons that wreaked havoc on the land; the devastating war between gods and demons...

The third volume features various rare treasures, celestial artifacts, and divine weapons from across the land... or divine beasts, spirit beasts, and demonic beasts... representing the three paths of good, evil, and demonic...

Zhang Xiaoshan first looked at the Kunlun Qi Refining Manual, which was far more profound than his own Pure Yang Divine Skill.

If he were to integrate it into the Pure Yang Divine Art, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance his strength.

In addition, there is the "Supreme Golden Chapter".

If it were an ordinary disciple, upon seeing these characters that resembled celestial script, they might simply set them aside and ignore them.

But Zhang Xiaoshan had seen too many such cryptic texts, so he naturally knew that this was the most essential part.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't help but open his attribute panel:

[Host: Zhang Xiaoshan]

Realm: First stage of Golden Core

Talent: Innate Pure Yang Dao Body

Martial Arts: Pure Yang Divine Skill (+), Kunlun Qi Refining Technique (+), Supreme Golden Chapter...

Items: Extraterrestrial Meteorite Copper (+), Kunlun Disciple Jade Talisman (+)

Merit: **

Upon seeing the completely renovated control panel, Zhang Xiaoshan's expression turned solemn.

For no other reason than that the amount of merit required for strengthening is too great.

For example, the merit required to strengthen the extraterrestrial meteorite copper has increased to ten million merit points (how much money is that?), the merit required to strengthen the Pure Yang Divine Skill is one million merit points, and the merit required to strengthen the Kunlun Qi Refining Technique is a whopping fifteen million merit points...

In the world of Kyushu, 100,000 merits can strengthen a supreme martial arts technique.

Zhang Xiaoshan's seemingly substantial amount of merit was actually no match for a large-scale enhancement.

It's important to know that accumulating merit in Kyushu was extremely easy for Zhang Xiaoshan. As long as he had enough capital, he could build dikes, private schools, and bring high-yield crops like sweet potatoes across the sea…

Therefore, after the Zhang family took control of the empire, these practices were greatly promoted, and Zhang Xiaoshan's merit points increased explosively.

From the beginning of the chaotic era, Zhang Xiaoshan had accumulated no more than five million merits.

In the end, he shattered the void, and because of the Zhang family's vigorous promotion and the merit brought by the prosperous era, his merit directly skyrocketed to 150 million.
