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

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's words, everyone exchanged bewildered glances!

Just for that so-called meteorite copper, Zhang Xiaoshan actually spent 300,000 taels of gold to buy a dragon pearl of unknown purpose.

"What is the purpose of the meteorite..."

"The young prince talks too much."

However, Zhang mixed the meteorite powder into the windmilled copper and used it to forge three sets of copper armor for three of Zhang family servants.

During the last forging of the bronze armor, Zhang used a piece of the armor to make several bronze needles, which became known as the Dragon-Seeking Compass.

"I wonder if the young prince would like one?"

Bronze-armored warriors! The Dragon-Seeking Disc!

Everyone knew how terrifying the bronze-armored warriors were, but they didn't expect that the bronze armor was also related to meteorite bronze. Zhang Xiaoshan meant that the bronze armor was not simple at all, and was more than just a layer of defense.

Moreover, the so-called dragon-seeking needle was simply made of the same material as the copper armor.

"Thank you very much, Young Master Zhang!"

The Dragon-Seeking Compass is useful, so they naturally wouldn't miss it.

As for whether we can find the real Dragon Balls, that's uncertain, but at least we have some clues.

"Then I won't see you off!"

After Wanyan Kang left, Zhang Xiaoshan knew that soon the news would be spreading everywhere.

Qiu Qianren has some strength, but the others are just a few weaklings who can't keep a secret at all.

The reason Zhang Xiaoshan gave away the Dragon-Seeking Compass was because only the Dragon-Seeking Compass could find the real Dragon Pearls. Those Dragon Pearls could not remain dormant, otherwise, the rampant spread of fake Dragon Pearls would be no good news.

As expected, the next day, all the information Wanyan Kang had obtained from the Zhang family was leaked.

However, the fact that none of them were injured was beyond Zhang Xiaoshan's expectations.

Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years.

That's absolutely true!

At the same time, the Dragon Seeking Plate has also become a benchmark for many forces.

For some unknown reason, the blacksmith shop that forged the bronze armor suddenly started selling a bunch of dragon-seeking plates, each costing a thousand gold coins.

Its value is astonishing!

While countless onlookers thought there was no one being taken advantage of, they went to ask the very next day—

They're out of stock.

After all, something that can identify Dragon Balls can save major powers a lot of trouble.

As for authenticity?

Products made by the Zhang family are virtually free of counterfeits.

Yes? Anyone who isn't an idiot can basically see that the blacksmith shop is just a front, and the real masterminds are the Zhang family!

Whether the Dragon-Seeking Compass is useful or not, we'll find out by trying it.

···

"That kid's cunning. He just lost 300,000 taels of gold, and he made it back from somewhere else!"

Inside the Divine Marquis's Mansion, Zhuge Zhengwo looked at the Dragon-Seeking Compass in his hand.

A single dish is worth a fortune. He didn't know how much the Zhang family sold, but they definitely made back their investment.

This piece of land wasn't bought; it was issued by the imperial court.

Indeed, it was the imperial court that ordered Zhuge Zhengwo to retrieve a dragon pearl.

Zhang Xiaoshan spent 300,000 taels of gold to buy back a dragon pearl, and the emperor also received the news. What does 300,000 taels of gold mean? It's more than his personal treasury.

Since it concerned longevity, the emperor was not stingy and directly gave the Divine Marquis's Mansion a Dragon-Seeking Compass.

As for ordering the Zhang family to hand it over?

Something bought for 300,000 taels of gold? Not only would the ministers not agree, but he himself would be unwilling to part with it.

Handing over the guns wasn't a sure thing, and besides, the Zhang family wasn't someone to be trifled with.

Instead of starting with the Zhang family, it would be better to purchase one from somewhere else.

"Uncle, is this Dragon-Seeking Compass genuine?"

"It should be real. The Dragon Ball from the last transaction should also be real."

"That kid's cunning. Retrieving the Dragon Pearl was just a ruse; his real purpose is to lure out the other Dragon Pearls."

Upon hearing Zhuge Zhengwo's analysis, everyone suddenly understood.

I never expected Zhang Xiaoshan to have planned this far.

"That bronze-armored warrior?"

"These bronze-armored warriors are terrifyingly strong. No one knows the purpose of the bronze armor, but it must be something special!"

I have never fought against the bronze-armored warrior, but the fact that he could suppress Bahanglong and use his sword to deliver a powerful blow speaks volumes about his strength.

But when he saw those bronze-armored warriors this time, they seemed even more like living people.

Chapter 118 The Stunning Beauty Bai Feifei

"You said your name is Bai Feifei?"

Inside the Hong Mansion, Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the delicate and pitiful beauty before him, as if she might be knocked over by a gust of wind.

However, what is most attractive is not her stunning beauty, but her delicate and graceful demeanor, like a snow fox in a wisp of smoke. She is not a 'person', but a pet that one wants to hold in one's arms.

If placed in the imperial palace, it would likely become another Bao Si or Da Ji, bringing disaster to the country!

For such a beautiful woman to appear in the Hong Mansion, she would inevitably have to pass Zhang Xiaoshan's test.

Because those who remain in the Red Mansion must have a clean background.

Most importantly, with Zhang Xiaoshan's approval, Manager Feng is merely the head manager.

"My name is Bai Feifei. My mother passed away a month ago. I originally came to the capital to seek refuge with relatives and find a family..."

As she spoke, she covered her face and wept. Her sobs were like the cry of a kite, delicate and gentle. The emotions stirred in her were so powerful that even the seasoned Manager Feng couldn't help but feel sympathy.

"Seek refuge with relatives? With 300,000 taels of gold, what relative would refuse your refuge?"

what?

Willow catkins drifting, Shopkeeper Feng, and the still-crying Bai Feifei were all taken aback.

Three hundred thousand taels of gold?

This term is extremely popular in Lin'an Prefecture, especially among those who carry 300,000 taels of gold, who become the target of many.

I thought that person had already escaped from Lin'an Prefecture, but I didn't expect him to be right in front of me.

Shopkeeper Feng was even more incredulous. Looking at the beautiful woman before her, she had initially thought she was a delicate little lamb, but it turned out to be a black widow.

They never doubted Zhang Xiaoshan's judgment, and therefore were very wary of the girl in front of them.

"What did you say, young master? I don't understand."

With her innocent and naive demeanor, coupled with her stunningly beautiful face, few men could resist her charm, especially a womanizer like Zhang Xiaoshan.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't help but chuckle:

"Girl, have you forgotten the finger force I left on you?"

That day, I left a wisp of pure yang purple energy on you for healing purposes. Pure yang refers to the domineering nature of the energy; even after ten days or half a month, the pure yang purple energy in your body will not dissipate.

Have you felt that your internal energy is flowing exceptionally smoothly and that you feel extremely energetic in the last two days?

Therefore, from the very first moment I saw you, your identity was exposed.

Bai Feifei was also taken aback by Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation.

Unexpectedly, the flaw in everything lay in the final finger strike left by Zhang Xiaoshan, and what Zhang Xiaoshan said was indeed absolutely correct.

"Speak, what exactly do you want from the Red Mansion? Is it for the Dragon Pearl?"

"This humble servant dares not!"

Raising her head again, Bai Feifei looked at the man before her, her beautiful eyes revealing a deep-seated fear and coldness, rather than the delicate tenderness that had previously inspired pity.

She knew how formidable Zhang Xiaoshan was; he wasn't a man who could be easily intimidated with just a few words.

The scheme was meticulously planned and executed with shrewd tactics.

"You dare not? There must be some ulterior motive, right? Don't tell me you're approaching me out of admiration, or that you want to become my concubine?"

"lecher!"

Hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's shameless flirting, Bai Feifei's expression grew even colder.

However, she knew that the more Zhang Xiaoshan acted this way, the more ruthless he became.

Beneath that seemingly carefree exterior lies a truly terrifying person.

"I'm here waiting for someone!"

"King of Pleasure?"

"how do you know!"

Bai Feifei immediately looked at Zhang Xiaoshan warily, her initial apprehension turning into fear.

Zhang Xiaoshan, however, seemed to be deep in thought. It was indeed the Bai Feifei he knew.

With her extraordinary martial arts skills and unparalleled beauty, Jiao Lian is no wonder!

As for the Happy King's arrival, even in Lin'an Prefecture? It's probably related to the Dragon Ball.

"If you are waiting for the King of Pleasure here, young lady, then I, Zhang, will have no choice but to ask you to leave."

"why?"

"The Zhang family does not participate in martial arts conflicts, especially not with knives in someone else's hands!"

Zhang Xiaoshan rolled his eyes at Bai Feifei, his eyes filled with disdain.

This girl is underestimating the Zhang family, thinking they can be used as pawns to deal with the Happy King.

Even if they ultimately concealed their identities, how could the Zhang family easily accept them as their own?

Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't believe in a conflict without a purpose.

He was passionate, but also deeply devoted!

So infatuated that they lost all sense of right and wrong.

"However, if you protect Sister Feng during this time, I can give you some benefits, such as a copy of the Nine Yin Manual!"

If you want to take revenge on the King of Joy, ordinary martial arts skills are simply not enough.

You should have heard of the Nine Yin Manual.

During this period, Zhang Xiaoshan printed ten more volumes of the Nine Yin Manual.

Since it's not his martial art, this thing doesn't counter him at all.

On the contrary, when they accumulate more merit and the secret manual is further developed and upgraded, it will turn against those powerful individuals who have mastered the manual, or it may be another round of gifts.

After all, this stuff is more effective than money for people in the martial arts world.

Especially since Zhang Xiaoshan invited top experts, the value of this item is guaranteed, so he prepared a lot of them.

However, he cut off the beginning and end of everything inside.

Such as the Nine Yin Manual, the Soul-Capturing Technique, the Bone-Shrinking Technique... things that others don't know or don't care about.

"…A scroll of the Nine Yin Manual? Just to protect her?"

"Is that not possible? As long as you agree, I'll have Piaoxu deliver the manual tonight."

"it is good!"

Bai Feifei immediately agreed. Protecting a head shopkeeper would allow her to obtain legendary martial arts techniques, which was a very worthwhile deal.
