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

It tastes just like it did back then.

Although it doesn't taste like first love, it's soft and delicious, and even an elderly person like him can easily digest it.

"The elder is referring to the Persian headquarters? They must have gone to Bottle Mountain for the Angry Sun Chicken."

Last time, when I fought them, I used the movement technique of the Angry Rooster to crush the evil dragon. Who would have thought that this movement technique would completely counter the martial arts of the Persian sect?

Even though the Persian sect had brought out three patriarch-level experts to suppress the Zhang family.

But just as a rooster can subdue centipedes and scorpions, it is utterly powerless against such agile movements.

"Angry Rooster? Movement Technique?"

"Young Master, you encountered the Angry-Eyed Chicken at Ping Mountain? And also those venomous creatures like the Evil Dragon?"

"I've seen it. The kid was attracted by the Angry Rooster's crow."

When I arrived, I witnessed the scene of it brutally killing the evil dragon.

Moreover, at that time, the younger generation also saved a Miao person who had been injured by a poisonous dragon and whose heart meridian had been poisoned.

Unfortunately, the Miao people had impure intentions and actually lured the younger generation to explore Ping Mountain!

Therefore, when the younger generation discovered that the Angry Rooster's movement technique countered the martial arts of the Persian Grand Master, they did not hesitate to betray him.

As for Ping Mountain?

I believe the Miao people are even more aware of the trickery involved; even if a group of Persians had a master antidote, they would likely never escape.

"Please forgive me, Young Master Zhang!"

As expected, the boy was frighteningly calm, and he was certainly not unprepared.

At least the elders, seeing that Zhang Xiaoshan's words were watertight and even his eyes were open, understood that this matter was probably as Zhang Xiaoshan said, and that it was their Miao region that was in the wrong.

You're not going to repay the life-saving favor?

But what kind of place is Ping Mountain?

The place was eerie, like a giant spider web that lured people in, and those who went in never returned.

Zhang Xiaoshan didn't personally intervene at the time because he was considering the Miao region's reputation.

Now that the blame has been shifted eastward, no one can say a single wrong about Zhang Xiaoshan.

Even young girls and teenagers didn't expect there to be such twists and turns in the story.

"Big brother, the evil dragon is the most poisonous creature in the world. Even if our Miao tribe's experts are severely injured, they cannot cure the serious injury caused by the poison entering the heart meridian. I wonder how big brother can save people?"

"Haha, little girl, do you think I'm lying?"

However, this is no secret and there is no need to hide it. In fact, I carried the Moon Gazing Rhinoceros Horn Cup with me at the time to guard against the poison from the Miao people.

"We just didn't expect that our efforts, though unnecessary, would save the life of a Miao master."

A rhinoceros horn cup gazing at the moon!

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded to Liu Sheng Piaoxu, signaling him to go to the study to fetch the item. He then looked at the old man and said:

"The elder's arrival must mean that Miao Jiang has agreed."

It can only be said that the elder's timing was just right; if he had arrived any later, he might have missed the opportunity.

"Does this mean that someone else also wants the meteorite bronze?"

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded and explained:

"Recently, the Mohist School, Yin-Yang School, and Quicksand of the Later Zhou Empire appeared in Lin'an Prefecture. Although I do not know their purpose."

But there are only two things about Zhang Jia that deserve their attention—

Meteorite, Dragon Balls!

Mohist School? Yin-Yang School? Quicksand School?

The old man was startled by these words, realizing that these families were no ordinary people.

If they share the same goal, then this matter is certainly not simple.

"What do you mean, Master?"

"The Zhang family possesses meteorite copper, which is a case of 'a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime'!"

Of course, the Zhang family possessed more than just one piece of meteorite bronze. This rhinoceros horn cup shaped like the moon was a treasure brought by a merchant caravan from Southeast Asia last spring.

A rhinoceros horn cup gazing at the moon!

As soon as you get close, a refreshing fragrance wafts out.

This fragrance is different from the four famous fragrances or the fragrance of herbs and trees from Miao territory. The old man could tell the difference between the real and fake fragrances at a glance, so he lost interest.

On the contrary, the young girls and boys curiously accepted the rhinoceros horn cup, knowing that this thing was a legendary treasure.

"Does the young master mean to trade it out?"

"That's right. If I'm not mistaken, the one who wants the meteorite copper this time is not these three forces, but the Qin Emperor hidden behind them!"

The meteorite copper is extraordinary, and coupled with my trip to Ping Mountain in Miao territory, it has led me to consider a possibility—”

"The elixir of immortality!"

The old man's body trembled violently, and a flash of inspiration appeared.

Although he found it hard to believe, he felt that it was very likely true.

Because that Qin Emperor, with his civil and military achievements, also had the ambition to unify the country for ten thousand years.

According to the information they gathered, whether meteorite copper could be used to refine elixirs of immortality was debatable, but its miraculous properties were undeniable.

"This is an elixir of immortality, is the young master willing to give it up?"

"An elixir of immortality? Do the Miao people know how to make it?"

Neither our families know how to make it, so this is not an elixir of immortality.

Moreover, I have thoroughly studied meteorite copper over the years and understand that it is both supernatural and sinister. Those who seek immortality through meteorite copper are likely just monsters that are neither human nor ghost.

Immortality? Heh heh heh... Living for three to five hundred years is enough.

"Young master, you seem to have a very open mind!"

The old man did not doubt Zhang Xiaoshan's words, because what is the point of immortality for a monster that is neither human nor ghost?

"As for the transaction between the Zhang family and Miao territory, no one knows whether the meteorite copper is more or less."

Since the goal is to refine an elixir of immortality, only a certain dosage of meteorite copper powder is needed.

"In the trade between the Zhang family and Miao territory, one-tenth of the meteorite copper powder can be mixed to forge a suit of bronze armor. Adding to the three suits of bronze armor already there, I wonder how many suits Miao territory wants in exchange?"

Hiss hiss hiss...

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's trading methods, even the old man couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

"Third mate!"

The old man had originally planned to buy a set of bronze armor to test the waters, but now he had no choice but to order three sets at once.

Otherwise, if Qin Shi Huang had intervened, it would have been gone.

He now seriously suspects that Qin Huang might be a plant hired by the other party.

Moreover, Qin Shi Huang's intervention made him realize that the bronze armor was a true treasure; otherwise, why would he have targeted it?

"Young Master Zhang, I have another presumptuous request. May I see the true appearance of the meteorite?"

"Can!".

Chapter 281 The Blood Silkworm Devours Its Master Again in the Demon Pool

Ghost Street!

As people from the Miao region, this was the first time they had ever seen such a place.

The street was eerily quiet yet bustling with activity, and it sold all sorts of things, including all kinds of specialties from the Miao region.

"This is Ghost Street. The Zhang family's business here is the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, which is one of the core businesses of the entire Ghost Street."

The old man was not surprised at all upon hearing this.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoshan actually placed the meteorite copper here.

At the same time, many people also kept an eye on Zhang Xiaoshan and his group, and followed them all the way.

People from Miao territory?

Neither the Mohist school nor the Yin-Yang school are entities they absolutely do not want to face; their Gu poison is insidious and extremely difficult to deal with.

"I do know that, but there are many people and eyes in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. Aren't you afraid of getting lost, young master?"

"It won't get lost!!"

In the past, when the mechanisms weren't as sophisticated, Zhang Xiaoshan wouldn't have been entirely confident, but now...

Even the mechanical arts of the Mohists pale in comparison to cutting-edge technology.

"Young Master 1"

Inside the hall, Ghost Street Queen Ruyan, who was greeting guests, immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Have Uncle Gui entertain the people behind us later."

"Yes, son!"

After saying that, Zhang Xiaoshan led the Miao elder into the secret room.

Looking at the fluorescent corridor, it was like a bright avenue, as if it were daytime, not to mention that it was also decorated with luminous pearls all around, reflecting light.

"Don't worry, everyone. This secret passage has no traps, but it also hides the biggest trap!"

"No mechanism? Yet it hides the biggest mechanism?"

Young man, can you people from the Central Plains stop beating around the bush when you speak? Is there a hidden agenda or not?

"If it's a mechanism as commonly understood, it doesn't exist."

But if it's a tricky trap, like when you sneak in by bypassing others, no matter how skillful you are or how well you evade the guards, you'll still escape a pair of eyes, like a ghost watching your every move!

"so smart!"

There are no killing mechanisms, but no one can sneak in; such a mechanism is naturally formidable.

Rumble rumble rumble...

As everyone watched Zhang Xiaoshan slowly open the secret chamber, a large character, "Blood Demon," came into view, its scarlet color striking.

The old man also looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with curiosity, wondering if Zhang Xiaoshan was a member of the so-called "demonic sect" of the famous orthodox sects in the Central Plains.

"It didn't scare the little girl. Zhang used the word 'demon' to scare people."

"It's all because five years ago, I had the Ghost Doctor help me refine this Chaotic Demon Pool. I felt that the word 'demon' was more imposing here, perfectly complementing the chaotic demon pool within."

"The little brother thought his sister's courage was that of a rat, just a bloody one."

"But young man, what exactly is this Chaotic Demon Pool? Why did the Ghost Doctor help you build it?"

"This is related to ghost corpses!"

The ghost corpse is controlled by the golden silkworm, and its nature is bloodthirsty and murderous.

In particular, those who follow unorthodox methods and evil paths must kill in order to enhance the strength of their ghost corpses, and the more they kill, the more their ghost corpses will become stronger!

However, Zhang is not a murderer. Since his debut, many people have died because of Zhang's words, but none of them were killed by Zhang himself, and all of them had their own ways of dying.

Therefore, when the ghost corpse was first formed, I came up with a solution—

Soak the body of the ghost corpse in poison to enhance its potential and temper its tough skin and bones.

In addition, given the properties of the copper armor, although it is malevolent, my true qi can control the meteorite copper within it, just as my true qi and my sister's true qi can control the Dragon Balls.

In this way, with the aid of various methods, the bronze-armored warrior could control the junior's movements at will within a fifteen-zhang radius.

"I see, genius!"

Even the old man was amazed when he heard Zhang Xiaoshan's words.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoshan took a different approach and improved the strength of the Ghost Corpse from other aspects. Although it is now mainly powered by the Dragon Balls, the Ghost Corpse was already extremely powerful before the Dragon Balls appeared.
