Chapter 447 The Secret Inside the Bronze Coffin
Another Grandmaster-level expert!
If it were gold, Zhang Xiaoshan could choose one of the other peerless masters, but because of Xuan Nu's presence, Zhang Xiaoshan had Xingyin escort him when he turned back.
A Grandmaster is someone no one else has the right to suppress.
Even Lei Laowu was shocked by Xingyin's strength, never expecting that Xingyin had actually broken through to the Grandmaster realm.
Not to mention Chen Jiuzhong and the others, they were all shocked that the Zhang family had gained another Grandmaster. With the Zhang family like this, plus the three bronze-armored warriors protecting Zhang Xiaoshan, they had at least a handful of Grandmasters.
"Humph!"
In a mere clash of palms, their true qi might be evenly matched, and at her peak, Xuan Nu might even surpass Xingyin.
However, Xingyin's unparalleled domineering power caused Xuan Nu, whose strength had not fully recovered, to suffer a minor loss.
After all, Xuan Nu's body had just awakened from a two-thousand-year slumber and was at its weakest. How could it possibly withstand the terrifying power of her sexual energy?
"Amitabha! You are indeed a great master!"
Previously, when Xingyin heard Zhang Xiaoshan ask him to escort a Grandmaster, he was somewhat skeptical, but after just one palm strike, he believed it.
Moreover, he was a grandmaster whose true qi was above his own!
If he weren't physically weak, he would have needed to use the Tathagata Palm to suppress his opponent.
"Congratulations, Master Xingyin, on breaking through to the Grandmaster level!"
"Amitabha, Boss Lei, you're too kind. If Boss Lei weren't distracted from martial arts, he would have been my senior long ago."
Xingyin also knew Lei Laowu's background; he could be considered one of the earliest veterans to follow Zhang Xiaoshan.
Moreover, possessing the Heavenly Crippled Divine Skill, if his mind wasn't elsewhere from martial arts, he would have already reached the Grandmaster realm, instead of only just breaking through to the Peerless realm.
“Master is wrong. It’s not that I, Lei, am not focused on martial arts, but that I lack the will and aptitude of a master like you.”
So many members of the Zhang family practiced the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, yet only Master Lei broke through to the Grandmaster realm. Ultimately, it's because my talent is far inferior to Master Lei's!
Upon hearing this, Xingyin immediately shook her head.
However, he didn't dwell on the issue. Instead, he looked at the crowd to one side and chuckled:
"This old monk is here on the orders of the young master to escort Lady Xuan Nu back to the capital, and also to escort the gold back to Ghost Street."
Ladies and gentlemen, this old monk will only be staying here for three days!
"Three days?"
Chen Jiuzhong immediately realized what was happening, looked at the thirteen bodyguards behind him, and roared angrily:
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up! Didn't you hear the master only has three days? We'll try to dig through today, start mining for gold tomorrow, and set off on the morning of the third day!"
As for bargaining over sexual sounds?
Forget it, this is a Grandmaster. They have no right to bargain in front of a Grandmaster.
Therefore, all the tomb raiders and tomb raiders sprang into action.
They also knew how rare this opportunity was; with two grandmasters escorting them, their safety was absolutely guaranteed.
Therefore, even Jin Xiangyu looked at Diao Buyu and the others and said in a sweet voice:
"We're not doing business today, let's all help out!"
At this moment, Jin Xiangyu's eyes held not only gold but also awe for the Zhang family.
The fact that a mere escort was actually a legendary grandmaster in the martial arts world left Jin Xiangyu with no choice but to accept his fate.
Moreover, compared to the life of licking blood off the edge, becoming the head manager of the Zhang family is not a bad thing. At least safety is guaranteed. With so many businesses in the Zhang family, a head manager can make a fortune.
As for Diao Buyu, the chef's treatment was not as good as that of the head manager, but at least he had a proper job.
In particular, Zhang Xiaoshan's guarantee that if he taught three disciples the knife skills of the butcher Ding, the restriction could be lifted.
···
In front of the Kunlun Bronze Gate.
"Ten thousand merits? Enhance!"
Looking at the bronze door in front of him, Zhang Xiaoshan chose to enhance his merit.
At this moment, the entire underground palace was his illusionary world. What did a mere 100,000 merits matter? After all, this bronze door was the gateway to the underground palace world. If anyone else could enter with just a token, there would be no guarantee of safety.
Furthermore, the underground palace world will also be strengthened after the bronze gate is reinforced.
Therefore, with the sound of a soul bell, the golden light of Xuanhuang merit fell from the sky, and the divine charm of the bronze gate gradually intensified, while a magnificent and powerful aura gradually permeated the entire secret chamber.
Inside the underground palace, the sleeping evil dragon suddenly opened its snake eyes and sensed the change in space.
Shhhhhhhh...
As the bronze gate opened, under the watchful gaze of the evil dragon, a figure passed directly through the bronze gate and arrived at the final hall.
This is the enhanced Bronze Gate!
This was originally an illusionary world, so after Zhang Xiaoshan strengthened the gate, he also completely took control of the entire underground palace.
From the bronze gate, he could appear directly anywhere in this illusionary world.
Here, he is God!
Moreover, even if others tried to dig a tunnel from the side, it would all be in vain.
Because there was nothing behind it, or rather, there was an extremely dangerous cave, and the two were not in the same space.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan held the Pure Yang Dragon Pearl and stood in mid-air.
A ten-zhang-long evil dragon and three bronze-armored warriors stood in formation, ready to fight.
In a flash, a mysterious force slowly opened the giant bronze coffin. As the coffin revealed its true form, golden light shimmered within.
This bronze coffin was not just one layer, but three layers!
The first layer contained burial goods, mostly gold and jewels, countless in number, amounting to at least tens of millions of taels, comparable to the three gold mountains of Ghost Street.
The second coffin in the center is about two zhang long and one zhang wide. It is still made of bronze, but the patterns on it are more delicate and have transformed from snakes into dragons, the meaning of which is self-evident.
The burial goods were also extremely rich, including scepters, tripods, and masks made of Hetian jade... at least of the mutton fat jade grade.
Even the white jade scepter, the black jade snake-shaped jade disc, and the blood jade scimitar are all of the level of spiritual treasures.
The third coffin was made of opaque bronze material resembling glass, with an exquisitely crafted and lifelike nine-headed hydra dragon that had completely degenerated into a dragon head.
As for the material, glass, it was simply bronze mixed with meteorite copper, which underwent this transformation through the methods and merits of the Queen Mother of the West.
Inside was a body that was neither human nor snake.
It is said to be human, and its overall appearance resembles that of a human.
If it resembles a snake but is not, then the entire skeleton appears to be pieced together from snake bones.
The skeleton, which should have looked very awkward, was surprisingly 'harmonious'. It didn't look like a simple patchwork, but rather like a deformed person.
"Did we fail? Were we purified by the golden light of merit?"
The great terror of the past has now come to nothing.
Zhang Xiaoshan had been preparing for a great battle, but unfortunately, he was now just a skeleton.
"wrong!"
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoshan seemed to realize something, and his eyes showed a look of seriousness and doubt.
Under normal circumstances, one dies naturally and that's it; life is a cycle that no one can escape.
But this place is different. This is the space of immortality created by the Queen Mother of the West, so she may not be dead after she died; her soul may still be alive.
But where did the Queen Mother of the West go? The Mysterious Woman?
That's it!
Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head. Now all of this had benefited him, and he no longer paid any attention to the Queen Mother of the West, who was no longer a threat.
With a clench of Zhang Xiaoshan's hand, the entire skeleton instantly turned to dust, leaving behind only a jade box and an incredibly hard dragon bone—the spine.
'Dragon Vein?'
Upon seeing that familiar spine, Zhang Xiaoshan saw something familiar again.
Once he had it in his hand, Zhang Xiaoshan understood why.
No wonder the Queen Mother of the West has become so strange; she has absorbed the power of the meteorite copper to strengthen her body.
Even Zhang Xiaoshan dared not do it, but the Queen Mother of the West attempted it in her quest for immortality, combining it with a giant bronze coffin, yet she failed.
As for the jade box, it contained three elixirs of immortality!
It's a precious elixir refined by the Queen Mother of the West, and because of the giant bronze coffin, it hasn't spoiled yet. However, this thing...
Even if it were given to Zhang Xiaoshan, he wouldn't dare to eat it.
Zhang Xiaoshan vaguely sensed the composition of the meteorite powder inside, and he was afraid of copper poisoning.
It's important to know that meteoric copper, in modern terms, is a dangerous material that is radioactive.
However, at this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the bronze coffin in front of him and said, "The first layer is the rebirth of the dead, the second layer is the eternal life of the living, and the third layer (okay, okay) is rejuvenation!"
The first and second levels are merely spiritual obsessions and sublimations, but the third level directly concerns the physical body, allowing for rejuvenation without limit, which can be described as defying the heavens.
"Not bad, that's something to look forward to!"
Zhang Xiaoshan held the spine; strengthening this thing required 50,000 merits, showing that even after the Queen Mother of the West died, she left Zhang Xiaoshan a treasure.
This is a 'dragon vein', so its power is naturally extraordinary.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan decided to use it as his weapon. This thing was domineering; when wielded, it was indestructible and far surpassed the Dragon Slayer Saber.
"Alright, let's get out of here!"
Zhang Xiaoshan stood on the head of the evil dragon. He originally wanted the evil dragon to guard the place, but then he thought it was unnecessary.
No one is allowed to enter this place without his permission, and this is his designated escape route.
If one cannot shatter the void, then living forever here would be a good option.
Moreover, before leaving the bronze gate, Zhang Xiaoshan set up another barrier. Originally, the seal could be broken with the previous token, but now the power of the Dragon Ball is required to open the gate.
Furthermore, only the enhanced power of the Dragon Balls can open the gate's barrier.
Otherwise, even a grandmaster or gunpowder would not be able to damage the bronze gate in the slightest.
Chapter 448 The Yin-Yang School's Overbearing Soul Control Technique in the Third Ghost Street
"They really dug out gold!"
Looking at the hundreds of tons of gold in front of her, Jin Xiangyu had been running an inn here for some time and had accumulated nearly ten thousand taels of gold, enough for her to live a life of comfort and ease. She just wanted more.
But I never expected to see so much gold in this way.
Even Chen Jiuzhong and the others were extremely excited. According to the agreement, they could receive one-tenth of the gold, which was ten tons of gold, 20,000 catties, and nearly 300,000 taels of gold.
Excluding Lei Laowu, that's a family worth 100,000 gold!
Even though all three families are wealthy, the truth is still beyond question.
"Boss Lei, this gold?"
"If the young master says one-tenth, then it is one-tenth. But to round it up, the three families can simply take 100,000 taels from Ghost Street!"
"Thank you so much, Boss Lei!"
Chen Jiuzhong and the others were overjoyed; the 100,000 taels of silver was exactly what they were looking for.
Jin Xiangyu and the others were even more envious. Ten thousand taels of gold? They got it so easily.
"Anyone with an elderly mother has helped us a lot, haven't they?"
Seeing Jin Xiangyu's greedy gaze, Lei Laowu nodded and said:
"You and Diao Buyu will each receive 10,000 taels of gold, and the others will receive 1,000 taels of gold. This will serve as your compensation and severance pay for today."
In the Zhang family, gold is merely a bonus; the real benefit lies in resources that money cannot buy.
