Ten Thousand Sword Masters

"It's true what they say, a person's reputation is reflected in their actions. I never expected the Beast Gang to run away so easily," Cao Jin remarked.

"I didn't expect that either. I thought I would at least have to threaten or intimidate them," Zhang Jianyun said with a smile.

"Now that things have been handled properly, I'll head back. But in the coming days, you'll have to keep an eye on the White Tiger Gang and prevent them from causing any trouble," Cao Jin said.

"Don't worry, Lord Cao, I will keep the White Tiger Gang in check," Zhang Jianyun assured him.

"With you here, I feel at ease," Cao Jin said, then spurred his horse back.

"Lord Zhang, when are you going to Shenwu Mountain to find Granny Embroidery?" Xie Xiancheng asked after Cao Jin left, worried that Qi Tian would get the divine pearl first.

"I'll go to Cangxi Pavilion tomorrow to see what's going on lately. If there's nothing important, I'll head to Shenwu Mountain," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Then I wish you every success, sir," Xie Xiancheng said expectantly.

After the White Tiger Gang reclaimed control of the martial arts world of Cangxi Town, Zhang Jianyun returned home.

"Brother Yun, you're back." Lou Qingluan was very excited to see Zhang Jianyun return.

"Has anything happened at home since I left?" Zhang Jianyun asked.

"It's alright, nothing special has happened. Business at the shop has been good lately, and the master and madam are quite happy," Lou Qingluan said.

"Get me a bowl of braised pork intestines, I've been craving that taste," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Okay, I'll go get it right away," Lou Qingluan said.

Before long, Lou Qingluan cooked the braised pork intestine noodles and brought them over.

Zhang Jianyun picked up his chopsticks and started eating his noodles in big mouthfuls. Just as he finished, Zhang Song and Cao Fen returned.

"Xiaoyun, you're back." Cao Fen was overjoyed to see Zhang Jianyun.

"Father, Mother, Qingluan, I brought you some things back." Zhang Jianyun said, taking out the White Deer Fruit and the Youth-Preserving Fruit and handing them to the three of them respectively.

"What kind of fruit is this?" Cao Fen asked curiously as Zhang Jianyun handed her the White Deer Fruit and the Youth-Preserving Fruit.

"Mother, this is a White Deer Fruit, which can increase lifespan by ten years. This is a Youth-Preserving Fruit, which can maintain one's appearance," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Really? Are these two fruits really that magical?" Cao Fen asked doubtfully.

"Why don't you guys try it?" Zhang Jianyun said with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Yun. I'll try it." Lou Qingluan said, taking the first bite of the youth-preserving fruit.

After swallowing the Youth-Preserving Fruit, Lou Qingluan's complexion became much rosier.

Lou Qingluan hurriedly touched her skin with both hands: "Brother Yun, my skin seems to be more elastic."

"Congratulations, you'll always look this young and beautiful," Zhang Jianyun said with a smile.

"Will I really stay this young forever?" Lou Qingluan asked, her eyes shining.

"Generally, one Youth-Preserving Fruit can maintain your appearance for twenty years. As long as you continue to eat the Youth-Preserving Fruit during that time, you can maintain it indefinitely," Zhang Jianyun said.

"I'm already very content to have twenty years of youthful beauty," Lou Qingluan said happily.

Seeing that Lou Qingluan's skin had improved, Cao Fen immediately ate the anti-aging fruit.

After eating the fruit, Cao Fen's complexion improved considerably.

Zhang Song first ate the White Deer Fruit. Unlike the Youth-Preserving Fruit, which had an immediate effect, the White Deer Fruit did not produce any external reaction.

"I feel like my energy has returned a bit," Zhang Song said, stretching his body.

Cao Fen also ate the white deer fruit. "Huh, my old injuries don't seem to hurt as much anymore."

"You should eat soon too," Zhang Jianyun said to Lou Qingluan.

"Xiaoyun, where did you get such a magical fruit? You didn't go to some dangerous place to get it, did you?" Cao Fen asked nervously.

"No, I traded some things with someone else," Zhang Jianyun explained.

"You must never go to any dangerous places. Our family is just an ordinary family, and you are just an ordinary person. Just live a simple and peaceful life," Cao Fen advised.

"I know," Zhang Jianyun said, sounding somewhat impatient.

The next day, Zhang Jianyun went to the slaughterhouse early in the morning to collect 2000 hostility points, and then went to the pavilion.

While still on his way to the palace, Zhang Jianyun sent a message to Du Zhong, the clerk, asking him to come to his office to report on his work.

Upon arriving at the pavilion and heading to the office, they found Du Zhong already waiting outside the door.

"Master, you're back," Du Zhong said cheerfully.

"You're back." Zhang Jianyun nodded slightly.

He opened the door and entered the room, gesturing for Du Zhong to sit down.

"How has the work at the cabinet been going since I left?" Zhang Jianyun asked.

"It went very smoothly. Councilor Zhu was in charge of the overall situation, and all the soldiers performed their duties. In the few days that you were away, only one monster, the Ben Niu Beast, appeared in Snow Valley Village, which Liu Fei went to kill. Nothing else happened," Du Zhong reported.

"Has the county bureau assigned any work to you?" Zhang Jianyun asked.

"The county bureau sent an official document the day before yesterday, saying that the third princess of the dynasty has begun to travel the world, and that the various towns and bureaus should increase their patrols to ensure that no major incidents occur," Du Zhong said.

"Alright, then tell Counselor Zhu to continue in charge of the work. I have to go to Shenwu Mountain for something," Zhang Jianyun said.

"Rest assured, Your Excellency, with Counselor Zhu here, all the work of the Pavilion will be handled properly," Du Zhong said.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jianyun rode his Crimson Flame Horse to Shenwu Mountain.

Shenwu Mountain is located in Chundao City, another county. When Zhang Jianyun arrived at Shenwu Mountain on horseback, it was already afternoon.

Looking at the towering Shenwu Mountain, Zhang Jianyun felt a surge of emotion. Shenwu Mountain was shrouded in mist, with abundant trees, craggy rocks, and a mysterious aura permeating the mountains.

Zhang Jianyun saw a road winding up the mountain peak.

drive!

With a pat on the back, he spurred his horse and rode up the mountain.

Xie Xiancheng did not know the exact location of the Embroidery Granny on Shenwu Mountain, so Zhang Jianyun had to inquire and search for her.

Upon reaching the mountainside, some houses began to appear on both sides of the road. Most of the people living in these houses were Divine Realm cultivators, with the occasional Crystal Realm cultivator.

Upon arriving at a house, Zhang Jianyun saw the homeowner cleaning the yard, so he dismounted.

"Grandpa!" Zhang Jianyun called out to the homeowner from the front gate, leading his horse.

The homeowner, who was sweeping the floor, looked up at Zhang Jianyun.

"Sir, I'd like to ask you where Granny Embroidery is located on Shenwu Mountain?" Zhang Jianyun asked politely.

"Just keep following the main road until you see a blue manor; that's where Granny Embroidery lives," the homeowner said.

"Thank you, sir."

Zhang Jianyun mounted his horse and rode forward. A quarter of an hour later, he arrived in front of a blue manor.

He dismounted, arrived at the manor, and gently knocked on the door.

A short while later, the door opened, and a little girl poked her head out.

Who are you?

"I am Zhang Jianyun from Cangxi Town, Kaiyang City, and I have come to pay my respects to Granny Embroidery," Zhang Jianyun said respectfully.

"Grandma went to visit a friend today, please come another day," the little girl said, and then closed the door.

Undeterred by the closed door, Zhang Jianyun decided to spend the night in Chundao City and return the next day.

I like the Ten Thousand Swords Master.
