Five years ago, Zhang Xiaoshan decided to live in seclusion and cultivate ultimate techniques.
He did not choose the hidden manor outside the city. Instead, he came to a remote mountain outside Xiangyang City.
However, he was not going to find the sword tomb.
With Zhang Xiaoshan's strength, he might have already become dinner for the Qu Pu Si Snake before he could find the sword tomb.
Zhang Xiaoshan came to a broken cliff where a waterfall was surging. He watched as the waterfall fell into the abyss. At that time, the 13-year-old boy jumped down.
With the help of his self-made flying squirrel suit and parachute, he landed safely.
Zhang Xiaoshan knew that before he mastered his martial arts, his weak self was in danger.
Even if the probability was one in ten thousand!
As for Hong Xiao and Jiang Xue, they were brought into the valley by Zhang Xiaoshan four years ago to take care of Zhang Xiaoshan.
Especially when he was young, he needed to cool down the fire that was generated during cultivation.
The two girls grew up in the Zhang family's courtyard. Moreover, the youth's predecessor had eaten the forbidden fruit when he was twelve years old. They were all on the same side.
In this feudal era, life expectancy was not high. It was too normal to get married at the age of twelve or thirteen.
Even Zhang Yuan, the head of the family, did not care. Instead, he deliberately arranged for two beautiful and graceful girls to serve the young man's daily life. The purpose was to hope that Zhang Xiaoshan would spread the branches and leaves of the Zhang family.
In the valley, it was like spring all year round, and it was an extremely livable paradise.
Not only was there a waterfall, but there was also a rare meteorite crater.
The reason why the Dragon-subduing Wood had taken root here was because of the special magnetic field derived from the crater, which had nurtured the mutated Dragon-subduing Ironwood.
Zhang Xiaoshan had also given the Meteoric Metal to a master swordsmith. After calculating the time, Zhang Xiaoshan would be able to obtain a peerless divine weapon after leaving the valley.
However, what he wanted to forge was not a sword, but a three-foot-long spear blade specially made for himself.
Normally, it could be used as a short sword. When pressed against the Dragon-subduing Wood, it would become a 13-foot-long spear.
An inch longer, an inch stronger!
No matter how strong his sword technique was, he could sweep through the enemies with a single spear strike.
Especially when combined with the invincibility of the Dragon Subduing Wood after it was infused with true qi.
"Hong Xiao, Xue Er, get ready. We will leave this place tomorrow.”
The young man looked at the surrounding precipice that was a thousand feet tall. The clouds were thick and endless.
Even so, Zhang Xiaoshan had to return home once a year. Not only did he arrange the family business, but he also did it for his own merit.
In the past five years, Zhang Xiaoshan had not lacked merit points because of these family businesses.
Firstly, the Zhang family's business continued to expand. They recruited wanderers and poor people who were forced to live a peaceful and stable life.
Moreover, the Zhang family had opened many 'industrial' workshops. Other than the absolute core secrets, the general technology was open to the public.
The second was to provide relief and build private schools.
It could be said that his merits were boundless!
Therefore, Zen Master Xianxia even helped the Zhang family build bridges and invited a few experts from the Southern Shaolin Temple to be Zhang family guards.
The price was that the Zhang Clan had to donate 1,000 taels of gold to the Southern Shaolin Temple every year.
However, it wasn't for the Buddha's golden body, but for disaster relief.
Northern Shaolin was the ancestral court of Zen, rich and imposing.
The Southern Shaolin Temple suppressed pirates and pirates, so it had a high reputation in the south and never lacked incense.
The rental fee of 1,000 gold taels per year was also a test for the Zhang family.
After all, the Zhang Clan had not invited an ordinary expert. Instead, they had invited the head of the Arhat Hall, the fourth of the eighteen Bronze Men Arhats!
Of course, these were all monks who had violated the precepts.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for a Shaolin master at the level of the head of department to rent out.
···
"Uncle Yang, I heard that the young master won't be leaving this time. Is that true?”
"Who said that? Don't ask too much about this kind of thing. As servants, we mustn't casually inquire about the matters of the master's family. Otherwise, we won't even know how we died.”
Under Lin 'an City, the Zhang family was making a big fuss this time.
Under the lead of the old butler Uncle Yang, a dozen servants waited for the return of the young king.
A bold servant asked the old butler curiously, but what he received was a sharp warning from the old butler.
The high residence was filthy. Wanting to inquire about the owner's secrets was courting death.
Even though the Zhang family did not have much gossip because of their single lineage.
However, this habit was the path to death.
"Young Master!"
As the carriage slowly approached, everyone hurriedly bowed.
At this moment, the old butler looked at the young man who had walked out of the carriage. It had been a year since they last met, but the young man's skin had become much paler after he had completed the horizontal refinement.
Previously, his bronze-colored skin was extremely masculine and tough, but now, through the giant bell space, the young man had absorbed pure heaven and earth spiritual energy to cleanse his muscles and bones. His skin was as white and smooth as suet fat, which would probably make the young ladies of Lin 'an residence very jealous.
The maidservant who followed closely behind was even more graceful and beautiful.
Whether it was the servants or the passers-by, they were all immersed in the elegant demeanor of the two women. It was only when they entered the luxurious carriage that they gradually came back to their senses.
The beautiful women in the harem could topple the country. From then on, the emperor would not go to court early!
"Uncle Yang, when will Father come back?”
"Master is in the Ming Dynasty north of Longjiang. I'm afraid it will take another month to return.”
"Is that so? Let's return to the residence first."
The Zhang family's business had expanded explosively in the past few years. Zhang Yuan spent at least nine months out of the year.
Zhang Xiaoshan boarded his family's luxurious car. There was a bed with a brocade fox fur coat, an incense table made of red sandalwood, and celadon made by the imperial kiln.
At this moment, Hong Xiao and Jiang Xue were helping the young man tidy up his clothes. These were the clothes that the young man needed to change into later.
···
"Uncle, whose carriage is that? What a grand display.”
On the second floor of the Drunken Moon Restaurant, an exquisite young lady sitting in a wheelchair looked at the luxurious carriage that was slowly passing by below. Her pretty face could not help but reveal a trace of seriousness.
"Lin 'an's Zhang family!
The Zhang family was the richest family in Lin 'an Prefecture. Especially in recent years, the Zhang family's business spread all over the country, and their wealth could rival that of a country.
This carriage was the symbol of a direct descendant of the Zhang family. It should be the mysterious young master of the Zhang family.
Why? What did you sense?"
"There are four top-notch martial artists and two top-notch experts as guards. There were also two maids with strong auras in the carriage. One of them was unfathomable and might not be inferior to Uncle.”
"Is that so?"
Zhuge Zhengwo narrowed his eyes. He wasn't surprised.
With the wealth that the Zhang Clan had accumulated and the fact that the bloodline was only passed down, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for Old Master Zhang to find more experts to protect this single bloodline.
Moreover, in the past few years, the experts recruited by the Zhang family were all in their records.
For example, five of the eighteen Arhats of the previous Southern Shaolin Temple had all reached the great success stage of the horizontal refinement. Their bodies were impenetrable, and their physical skills had reached the extreme.
Zhuge Zhengwo knew that there were two of them who were the top experts of Ruthless Perception.
Inside the carriage, the youth had sensed someone spying on him while he was searching mercilessly.
The black technology on the carriage seemed to be a decorative orb, but it could actually observe the surroundings 360 degrees. Therefore, when the young man raised his head, he saw the old and the young peeping at him.
" The Divine Constabulary has already set their eyes on me as soon as I enter the city. Is it intentional or a coincidence?'
Although Zhang Xiaoshan had never seen Zhuge Zhengwo before, he knew the experts of Lin An House like the back of his hand.
With such a combination, he could guess it with just a little thought.
Zhang Xiaoshan closed his eyes and thought of his Ghost Street business.
If there was anything about the Zhang Clan that was worthy of the Divine Constabulary's attention, it would be Ghost Street.
A dark place under the light.
The Gold-looting Commandant had been developing wantonly over the years, and the logistics department was no longer restricted to black market transactions.
Three years ago, Lei Laowu had established Ghost Street together with several major forces of the Black Market, and Zhang Xiaoshan would appear once a year as the leader of Ghost Street.
Of course, most people in Ghost Street did not know Zhang Xiaoshan's identity.
People were fickle, so Zhang Xiaoshan had always been extra careful.
Even among the gold-looting officers, other than Lei Laowu, who had advanced to the rank of Lieutenant General, most of them did not know of Zhang Xiaoshan's existence.
However, the distribution of the loot was still a special treatment. Zhang Xiaoshan was the core of the entire team.
After all, a group of gold-looting officers could earn more than ten thousand taels a year.
He didn't know how to sell things, and he was forced to lower the price when dealing with stolen goods. An antique that was worth thousands of gold could only be sold for 180 taels at most.
However, with the logistics provided by Zhang Xiaoshan, they used to earn only 18,000 taels of silver. Now, these gold-looting officers earned more than 10,000 taels of silver every year.
Most importantly, Zhang Xiaoshan had resolved their worries.
Grave robbing was detrimental to one's moral character.
If the family had a proper business, who would be willing to do such a thing?
And Zhang Xiaoshan solved this problem for them.、
Other than the successors they hoped for, their families had quietly become local landowners under Zhang Xiaoshan's secret arrangements. There were also many shops in the county city that did business.
Even if they wanted to withdraw, the young man would not make things difficult for them and kill them to silence them.
Instead, he arranged for them to work in the logistics department (Ghost Street) and continue to serve.
Once he entered the martial world, it was as deep as the sea!
It was impossible for them to retreat. Logistics was their final retreat.
After all, once his identity was exposed, he would be sentenced to death for committing heinous crimes, and his family would definitely be implicated.
Thus, for the past five years, although the young man had lived in seclusion in the mountains, he had a powerful force made up of outlaws.
The wealth accumulated by tomb raiding was not to be seen by anyone. Zhang Xiaoshan used all of it to develop his underground forces.
