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

No matter how the monster's twisted body lashed out, the figure remained as still as a mountain.

Then, to the rooster's utter bewilderment, with just one punch, the snake's head or fish's head was instantly turned into minced meat.

Only then did Zhang Xiaoshan, along with Huang Rong and Liu Sheng Piaoxu, leap down.

As for the rooster wanting to leave?

But at some point, two pairs of eyes, like those of hungry wolves, appeared not far away, making it dare not move an inch.

Especially its large, drooling mouth, which filled its cross-eyed eyes with fear.

Just now, it was racial suppression that subdued the monster.

But at this moment, the domineering power of bloodline suppression also caused the two vicious dogs to set their sights on its chicken meat.

If it were an ordinary hunting dog, its sharp snout and ravenous claws would be enough to cause it to bleed on the spot.

But Zhang Xiaoshan's two hunting dogs were also 'different breeds', with taller and more robust bodies than it, and thick fur that made them look even more defensive.

It believed that if it escaped, it would be chased by the two hounds and might become dog food for these two huge hounds instead of the monster's food.

It can be said that one thing can overcome another.

"Let it go!"

Huang Rong wanted to keep the rooster, but Zhang Xiaoshan knew that the rooster already had an owner.

He didn't believe that the rooster had simply mastered that movement technique; it must have been that the rooster had gained sentience and learned it from seeing it many times.

With a wave of Zhang Xiaoshan's hand, the two hounds lowered their heads unwillingly and turned to look at the monster beside them.

Even if you can't eat chicken, this monster's meat is still very nutritious.

Cluck! Cluck! Cluck...

Seeing the two hunting dogs make way and stop targeting him, the rooster's cross-eyed eyes showed surprise.

Then, its sharp beak pecked at the monster's body, and in a swift motion, it pulled out a sky-blue bead, about the size of a baby's fist.

This is the monster's poisonous bead.

But this is different from ordinary poison beads; it has another function—

Avoid poison!

Chapter 255 Ping Mountain—Yuan Tiangang's Alchemy Ground

"Why did you let it go!"

"Sister, this is a rooster, not a pheasant. Have you ever seen a wild rooster?"

A wild rooster?

Huang Rong immediately realized that the rooster already had an owner, but considering its beauty and strength, she stubbornly insisted:

"Perhaps its owner is dead?"

"He's not dead! I just brought him back to life!"

"you···"

Suddenly, Huang Rong looked across and saw a figure, seemingly descended from hell, slowly emerging from the dense forest.

Huang Rong was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Gu Dan is deeply grateful to you, young master, for saving my life!"

"It was nothing. Now that you have awakened, we'll take our leave!"

Zhang Xiaoshan didn't want to provoke a Miao person at the pinnacle of cultivation, especially after he had glimpsed the person's true form.

"Young master, please wait! You have saved my life, and I have no way to repay you. So I will tell you the secret of this place!"

"Secret? Not interested!"

Moreover, I truly have urgent matters to attend to; I apologize for disturbing you.

"Young master, the secret place is only thirty miles away. With your skill, the round trip will take no more than an hour. Once you get there, you'll know that your mission was not in vain!"

"Nine Eighty"

"Go! Go! Go!"

Huang Rong kept poking Zhang Xiaoshan's back, and Zhang Xiaoshan could only helplessly say:

"Please lead the way!"

Thirty li is not a long distance, but it's a different story when you're in the mountains.

Otherwise, even a top-notch expert wouldn't be able to travel back and forth within an hour, given the difficult mountain roads and the dense forests teeming with poisonous creatures.

Soon, they arrived at the edge of a cliff.

Looking ahead, ten miles away, lies the celestial mountain of Dan Ding, shrouded in ethereal mist.

"That is?"

"This is Ping Mountain, also known as Dan Ding Immortal Mountain."

As for the seven-colored clouds? They are the precious energy that has been flowing out of Ping Mountain for hundreds of years. Therefore, within a ten-mile radius of Ping Mountain, poisonous creatures gather, and poisonous creatures like the evil dragon from before are frequently seen.

They are all rare and mutated species that have absorbed precious energy over hundreds of years!

Hiss...

Upon hearing that there were many monsters, even Huang Rong and Liu Sheng Piaoxu couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Zhang Xiaoshan frowned deeply. Not only was there the ancient Ping Mountain here, but it had also undergone such severe mutations.

Centuries later, only a six-winged centipede remained beneath the ancient tomb at Ping Mountain, but now it is teeming with monstrous dragons, and who knows what terrifying poisonous creatures lurked within.

"Does Your Excellency mean you want us to go in and scout ahead for you?"

Zhang Xiaoshan's voice gradually turned cold, and even the Miao man named Gu Dan showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoshan remained so calm in the face of such temptation. You know, most people would have started asking about Baoshan's situation.

Yes and no!

"Please listen to my explanation, young master. If you still choose to leave after hearing it, Gu Dan will not stop you!"

Then, to Huang Rong and Liu Sheng Piaoxu's astonishment, he slowly revealed the origin of the treasure from the bottle mountain.

The precious energy inside wasn't created by nature, it was created by human hands!

Hundreds of years ago, Yuan Tiangang, the first national advisor of the Tang Dynasty, sought to refine the elixir of immortality. With the support of the Tang emperor at the time, he collected rare and precious materials from all over the world and chose to refine the elixir at Baoping Mountain.

At that time, Yuan Tiangang was not only a Grandmaster, but also a Taoist Celestial Realm expert, making him an unparalleled Grandmaster of Taoism.

In order to refine the elixir of immortality, he single-handedly suppressed the Twelve Caves of Miao Territory and Chiyou Village, taking away the three great treasures of Miao territory—

The Death-Slaying Gu of the Twelve Caves!

The miraculous ancient tree of Chiyou Village!

The Medicine King Cauldron of Medicine King Valley!

He then secluded himself in Ping Mountain for ten years before successfully emerging.

Unfortunately, the Tang emperor had already passed away, and the newly enthroned emperor was young and eager to realize his ambitions and exact his revenge. He had no respect for this kind of Taoist deception.

They then forced Yuan Tiangang to take the elixir on the spot, which caused him to die suddenly!

"You mean, the elixir of immortality is real?"

"It is true, because Yuan Tiangang was not dead at that time."

The ancient scrolls of Miao territory record that it later resurfaced, but unfortunately, the second time, a problem occurred during the refining process. The precious energy of Bottle Mountain leaked out, and the poisonous substances began to mutate, gradually forming the treasure land we see today.

"Doesn't that mean there's an elixir of immortality inside?"

"Indeed! Even without the elixir of immortality, with such a leak of precious energy, how could the contents inside be simple?"

Upon hearing Gu Dan's words, Huang Rong's eyes lit up immediately.

But Zhang Xiaoshan simply grabbed Huang Rong by the neck and pulled her back, chuckling lightly:

"What a joke! When it comes to poisons and insect repellents, who in the world can compare with the ancient Miao village!"

Even the ancient Miao villages dare not set foot in such a place, girl, are you tired of living?

First, he scolded Huang Rong, then Zhang Xiaoshan looked at her and said:

"Sir, I need not elaborate on the many dangers hidden in this place that even the Miao people have been unable to solve for hundreds of years. Farewell!"

After Zhang Xiaoshan finished speaking, he turned and left with the two women without the slightest hesitation.

It wasn't that he didn't want the treasures inside; with the Dragon Ball in hand, he felt he had the world at his fingertips.

But with Huang Rong here, plus the wicked Gu Dan, there's no need for him to take this risk now.

Moreover, if he were to take the item out now, he would inevitably become a public enemy.

The Dragon Balls and numerous other treasures had already propelled the Zhang family to the forefront of public attention, not to mention the potential addition of an elixir of immortality.

Instead of doing that, why not secretly find an opportunity to take the treasure out of there without anyone knowing!

"Why not take the treasures inside?"

"Why? Girl, you used to be so smart, why have you been making such silly mistakes all this time?"

She's not even pregnant yet, and she's already acting silly!

"Are you so jealous you've gone mad?"

"You jerk, you're the one who's gone crazy from jealousy."

Huang Rong glared at Zhang Xiaoshan resentfully, but then heard Zhang Xiaoshan explain:

"I owe Gu Dan a life-saving favor. Good heavens, he even tries to swindle his life-saving benefactor. Can you trust such a person?"

Not to mention what exactly is inside, and how many bizarre and terrifying dangers it harbors?

"If the contents were easy to obtain, the three major powers of Miao territory wouldn't have survived until now, let alone the fact that the elixir of immortality is in my hands, hehehe..."

Huang Rong fell silent, realizing that she had almost led the three of them into the abyss.

Back in the car, the two hunting dogs had returned and were fast asleep, clearly indicating a successful haul.

As for poison pills?

Although it also has the effect of warding off poison, according to the records of the Ghost Doctor:

Once the poison pill is shattered by an external impact, there is absolutely no chance of survival within a ten-foot radius.

This thing is so powerful because it contains the essence of the evil dragon; even a top expert who gets a little bit of it will die instantly.

This is most suitable for Murong Jiu to study.

"What a pity, entering a mountain of treasures and leaving empty-handed!"

“Girl, I advise you to give up this idea. If you act recklessly, I won’t even need to divorce you; I can just take a concubine.”

"You bastard, you're disgusted with me now!"

The carriage fell silent as the two continued their argument.

But Zhang Xiaoshan's expression was extremely serious, and he reprimanded him sternly:

"Girl, after your last confrontation with the Eastern Cult Leader, you've become a bit too ambitious."

You act without any regard for the consequences. In Buddhist terms, you've fallen into demonic possession, truly believing that the world is vast and you can go anywhere.

Not to mention that your Nine Yin Manual is only at the eighth level now, and the ninth level is still a long way off.

You're not even a Grandmaster, so what makes you think you can compete with a peerless master like the Eastern Cult Leader?

Did you really think that the Eastern Cult Leader didn't know your identity?

Considering the two suddenly appearing top-tier experts, plus the experts gathered in Hengshan City at the time, it's easy to guess that you're one of my people.

Moreover, at that time, the Eastern Cult Leader always kept a part of his mind on me, otherwise, with the evil power of the Sunflower Manual, you would have been defeated within a hundred moves!

As for the final "Song of the Rising Tide of the Blue Sea"?

In three breaths, I could kill you a hundred times over, not to mention the Eastern Cult Leader's embroidery needle.
