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

Rather than doing that, it's better to take it out now and get equivalent benefits.

Moreover, the journey by land and sea would take at least half a year, and considering the primitive society of the New World, Zhang Xiaoshan felt that sending troops to the Yuezhi or Persia was more practical than marching into the New World.

···

After a lavish feast, Lady Dongming stayed behind.

Each of them, with their own thoughts on their minds, respectfully departed Peach Blossom Island.

"Why did you reveal the new continent, young master?"

After their tender moment, Madam Dongming looked at Zhang Xiaoshan curiously, wondering why he would reveal the location of the new continent.

You should know that the New World is the Zhang family's gold mine, and the Zhang family could even rule the New World.

"There's nothing special about the New World, and the Empire won't spend much effort on it."

Moreover, besides manpower and resources, absolute strength is also required to enter the New World. Everywhere is inhabited by primitive tribes; the entire population of the Northern Continent is a soldier, and the Southern Continent is covered in rainforests.

In addition, another reason is to emigrate and maximize their benefits.

The Zhang family is neither an empire nor an official institution. Therefore, no matter how strong the Zhang family is on their own, the development of the New World is merely a slightly larger undertaking.

Instead of doing that, let those people go themselves and ignite their passion.

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation, Madam Dongming nodded in agreement.

Yes, it's a supercontinent. The Zhang family has neither the qualifications nor the ability to develop it.

Ultimately, the Zhang family was just a large merchant family.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan's ambition clearly did not include the intention of dominating the country; otherwise, he would not have retreated overseas and indulged in this gentle paradise during the chaotic times.

"But wouldn't this threaten the Zhang family's interests?"

"Threats? They don't have that right."

Moreover, people regard the New World as a 'gold mine,' but there aren't that many gold mines in the world, and the value of the New World to merchants is only so much.

However, the area is rich in mineral resources and has vast land, which is why I was exposed; the Zhang family simply cannot swallow it up.

The Zhang family even found a gold mine, and a super gold mine at that.

"Gold mine?"

Upon hearing this, Lady Dongming was extremely surprised.

She never expected that the Zhang family would actually find a gold mine, and a super gold mine at that.

"This humble servant congratulates you, young master!"

Although the Zhang family is so large that they no longer care about these things, gold is still a hard currency.

The next day, after Zhang Xiaoshan finished his morning meditation, almost all the women gathered in the hall.

After all, Zhang Xiaoshan was going to Xianyang, which was a rare opportunity to go out.

"Don't even think about it. I'm not planning on a large-scale deployment for this trip to Xianyang."

The situation on the mainland is chaotic right now. Taking a bunch of beautiful women out there would only cause trouble. So you guys stay here and guard the house. I'll be back in seven days at most.

However, this time I'll take Rong'er to the Great Snow Mountain first to find some rare and precious herbs, otherwise your bodies will be ruined by all the trouble you've caused her these past few years.

Also, while we're at it, let's take Feifei back to the desert and find a place to stay sometime.

Although Zhang Xiaoshan also possesses many rare and precious materials, these are merely his foundation.

The Great Snow Mountain is a sacred mountain that has existed for ten thousand years. Zhang Xiao had never been there before, and this was a good opportunity to see its scenery. Moreover, he didn't believe that there weren't a large number of rare and precious treasures on it.

Since it is a sacred mountain, it must contain rare and precious materials.

"Really?"

Upon hearing that they were going to the Great Snow Mountain, Huang Rong was overjoyed.

"This is my promise to you. I'll also take Feifei back to the desert along the way."

"Great!"

Although the others were filled with envy, they also understood that Xiaoshan could only bring one or two people at a time.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan went there on a mission: first, to find a kidney-tonifying treasure; and second, to settle Bai Feifei.

The Divine Blade Slash was terrifying; Bai Feifei's cultivation level had long since reached the peak of the eighth level.

Once Bai Feifei breaks through another level of the Divine Blade Slash, she can not only break through the ninth realm, but also reach the peak of the ninth realm at an extremely fast speed.

"Take care on your journey, young master!"

Three days later, Zhang Xiaoshan set off from Peach Blossom Island.

With dragon wings soaring ninety thousand miles high, and two beautiful women hanging on his body, he first went to the desert.

In the desert, guided by Bai Feifei, Zhang Xiaoshan found an oasis, which was also the secret base of the Ghost Palace in the past.

The oasis is home to only a handful of ordinary families, numbering less than 450, making it a veritable Shangri-La in the desert.

After all, the desert environment is completely devoid of oases for thousands of miles around, consisting entirely of endless yellow sand. Moreover, if one doesn't know the safe routes in and out, there are also natural traps such as quicksand and sandstorms.

After making complete arrangements for Bai Feifei, Zhang Xiaoshan went to Tianshan the next day.

Zhang Xiaoshan's trip to Tianshan was to retrieve something—

The sacred wood king tripod!

To find treasure, you need to know the locations of those dangerous and perilous places.

Even with a high-definition camera, Zhang Xiaoshan's naked eyes couldn't possibly pinpoint those hidden places in the snowy mountains.

Moreover, rare and precious materials are always guarded by exotic beasts.

How to find these? The key is the Soul-Guiding Incense of the Divine Wood King Cauldron, which covers an area of ​​ten miles.

Once you find the direction of those extremely poisonous substances, you're almost certain to find treasure.

With the help of the Dragon Balls, we will subdue those powerful monsters.

Therefore, when Zhang Xiaoshan went to the Great Snow Mountain, he was accompanied by two beauties. Even Huang Rong, who thought they were going to have some alone time, glared at Zhang Xiaoshan coquettishly.

Azi was undoubtedly extremely excited about Zhang Xiaoshan's arrival.

The pain of unrequited love, even in just a few months, made her feel like each day was an eternity. Sometimes she really wanted to abandon Lingjiu Palace and just become his little woman.

However, Azi suppressed these thoughts.

If it weren't for the unique properties of the Nine Yin Manual, given her chaotic mental state, she would have surely suffered a qi deviation.

"arrive!"

Looking at the snow-capped mountains before me, standing on the Tibetan plateau at nearly two thousand feet high, I still feel an insurmountable sense of height.

Moreover, the winding, long mountain range is truly magnificent.

"This is the Great Snow Mountain, how magnificent!"

Even after witnessing the magnificence of the summit of Tianshan Mountain, the sight of it towering into the clouds is still breathtaking.

No, at this moment, the clear blue sky and the towering, majestic mountain seemed to purify their minds and souls, a baptism for their spirits.

Chapter 557 The Ten-Thousand-Year Vermilion Fruit of Lingjiu Temple in the Great Snow Mountain

Lingjiu Temple in Daxueshan!

Huang Rong and A Zi looked at the temple in front of them, but didn't feel anything.

The Great Snow Mountain is a sacred site in Tibet, and given the flourishing of Buddhism there, the appearance of a temple is perfectly normal.

But Zhang Xiaoshan felt a hazy Buddhist light, like 'the sun shining on a golden mountain,' and the entire temple was shrouded in a layer of golden Buddhist light.

This feeling is very mysterious, like luck or merit.

Compared to other famous monasteries in Tibet, such as the Great Wheel Monastery, Jokhang Temple, and Sakya Monastery, Lingjiu Monastery is relatively unknown.

"What a sacred Buddhist site!"

Enveloped in Buddha's light, a gathering of faith—this is the first time I've ever witnessed such a magnificent spectacle!

Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes gleamed, knowing that there must be a master here, perhaps even a peerless grandmaster from Tibet.

After some thought, they decided to avoid the area and refrain from killing everyone.

Putting aside the fact that he has Huang Rong and A Zi by his side, any strong person who can live in seclusion here must be a true master, so there is no need for him to cause trouble.

"Let's go, there's a peerless grandmaster inside who's equivalent to the eleventh level of cultivation."

Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan bypass the temple, Huang Rong and A Zi were startled.

The tenth level of the Nine Yin Divine Skill is the Grandmaster level, and the eleventh level is the Nascent Soul level. I never expected there to be such a master in Tibet.

However, the two still glanced at each other warily before following Zhang Xiaoshan away.

Meanwhile, inside Lingjiu Temple.

A tall monk, sitting cross-legged in meditation, involuntarily opened his captivating eyes.

At the same time, several elderly monks below, who looked even older than the head monk, opened their eyes and respectfully looked at the head monk.

"Amitabha!"

Seeing the regretful look on the head monk's face, several old monks couldn't help but ask in confusion:

"Does Master have any regrets?"

"Just now, auspicious purple clouds appeared in the east, and a master from the Central Plains has arrived at the Great Snow Mountain."

Unfortunately, the other party bypassed Lingjiu Temple, so we missed seeing them, which is a great pity.

The world is vast and boundless. I, your master, have exhausted the limits of martial arts. Sixty years ago, I traveled across the Nine Provinces without a worthy opponent. I never imagined that in these sixty years, there would still be such a master in the world. It's a pity..."

what?

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at the abbot in disbelief.

The senior monk looked to be around fifty years old, but in reality he was over a hundred years old and was a god from the Great Snow Mountain.

They were merely disciples taken in by the old monk after he retired from the world. From children when he first entered the academy to now with white hair, the abbot has not changed at all, but they have continued to study scriptures until their hair turns white.

As for martial arts?

They were all legendary masters in the Central Plains, and one of them was even a grandmaster.

But compared to the great monk's realm, it is still like a firefly compared to the bright moon, incomparable. The great monk has already reached the realm of 'Buddha'!

I never imagined there were masters in the world who could rival the great monk.

"If that's the case, why doesn't Master come out to meet us?"

"If the other party doesn't want to see you, it means they have reservations."

Furthermore, they bypassed Lingjiu Temple and clearly did not wish to meet me. Even so, why force it?

"Amitabha!"

The monks couldn't help but sigh with regret.

It's a real pity that we didn't get to meet a master who was on par with their feng shui teachers!

····

"Husband, even if there really are Buddhist masters in Lingjiu Temple?"

With your ability to shatter the void, why fear him? Why bother going out of your way? Just go all the way... Ah!

With a sharp flick on the forehead, Huang Rong winced in pain and glared at him playfully.

Even Azi, basically the same as Huang Rong, is ruthless towards enemies and is not a kind person.

"Don't think about fighting and killing. What do you look like?"

Furthermore, even in sacred Buddhist sites, including those of Tibetan Buddhism, one should maintain a sense of reverence; why create unnecessary enemies?

Zhang Xiaoshan glared back, thinking that with this kind of personality, trouble was bound to happen sooner or later.

Kill those you don't like. Remember, the land is full of hidden talents, and people's hearts are fickle. Martial arts skills don't represent everything.

"A master can be found in the human world, but a mistake can happen in the underworld!"
