Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan implied that there was more than one piece of meteorite copper back then, and one of them was in Zhang Xiaoshan's possession.
As for the origin of the Dragon Balls, he had already looked it up, but he hadn't found any useful information.
After all, he had no way of investigating the existence of extraterrestrial meteorite copper.
Thinking about it carefully now, Zhang Xiaoshan had already used meteorite powder to forge copper armor two years ago, but he was unaware of the special properties of meteorite.
"Sir, where are the Dragon Balls?"
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the man in black; the meteorite copper he sensed with his true qi was on the man in black.
"Where's the gold?"
Zhang Xiaoshan pulled out three hundred thousand taels of gold notes directly from his pocket.
And there was an extra one, which made everyone marvel at the Zhang family's generosity.
This is 300,000 taels of gold, almost a month's income for the Song Dynasty's national treasury, which is the tax revenue of the entire Song Dynasty.
"Give this money to Mr. Zhuge first, so that he can check the authenticity of the gold notes."
Similarly, I also need to check if the Dragon Balls are real. If they are, then Mr. Zhuge will naturally give you the gold ticket.
With official guarantees, the mysterious person naturally understood Zhang Xiaoshan's concerns, and this was the best approach.
Zhuge Zhengwo is considered an upright and honest person in the martial arts world, and his credibility is reliable.
So he took out a dragon ball and asked Zhang Xiaoshan to verify its authenticity.
However, Zhang Xiaoshan's expression changed immediately upon taking the bait, and he simultaneously pointed his fingers in a daze.
This finger strike was swift and rapid; in the blink of an eye, even Zhuge Zhengwo hadn't had time to react. But the opponent suddenly retreated, moving so fast that he was already three zhang away in the blink of an eye.
Snapped!
Suddenly, the figure in the bamboo hat turned around and struck out with a palm, meeting the bronze-armored warrior who had ambushed him from behind.
Suddenly, a bronze-armored warrior appeared behind the man in the straw hat, and their palms clashed, the residual force of which reverberated.
snort!
With a muffled groan, the man staggered backward.
The bronze-armored warriors who swallowed the Dragon Balls gained immense power, each possessing strength comparable to a Grandmaster, and were also incredibly strong and invulnerable to swords and spears.
Moreover, the enemy sensed an attack from behind and was unable to defend themselves fully in their haste.
However, at this moment, a white-clad figure flashed to the side of the black-clad figure's hat. The previously ineffective Pure Yang Finger directly sealed her Dazhui and Guanyuan acupoints, blocking her Qi and blood.
"mean!"
A sharp cry startled Zhang Xiaoshan; it was a woman.
Because of the hoarseness in the voice just now, he really couldn't tell whether the other person was male or female.
But he didn't care about any of that. He was just playing with him and trying to get something for nothing. This really set him up.
"Just like when you were in all high and mighty!"
After saying that, Zhang Xiaoshan reached under his straw hat and rummaged around for a while. By the time Zhuge Zhengwo and the others reacted, Zhang Xiaoshan had already taken out a bead about the size of a ping-pong ball from the other man's waist. It was exactly the same as the dragon ball from before.
A slender waist, bottles and jars, holding quite a lot of things.
At this moment, a stunningly beautiful face appeared beneath the bamboo hat, her cheeks flushed, but her eyes revealed more of a murderous intent. She hadn't expected Zhang Xiaoshan to be so rude.
However, everyone present realized that they had almost been tricked by the other party.
Truth and falsehood are intertwined; both Hengdao and Zhuge Zhengwo are seasoned veterans.
He immediately understood the other party's plan.
"This one is real."
"Mr. Zhuge, give her 300,000 taels of gold notes, and donate the remaining 10,000 taels to the brothers of the Six Doors to improve their meals or perhaps maintain their weapons!"
"Then thank you very much, Young Master Zhang!"
Ten thousand gold coins are enough to cover the annual operating costs of the Six Doors headquarters.
Moreover, these are merely extras, and they bring many benefits to the Six Doors.
As for 300,000 taels of gold?
Zhang Xiaoshan shoved it directly into the other man's waist, took the opportunity to have a handjob, and then turned and left.
He knew that the other party was no ordinary person. Her lightness skill just now was no less than that of Iron Palm Water-Walking. Top masters in the martial arts world are rare, let alone a woman.
"You scoundrel! Shameless! You lecher!"
Having been taken advantage of, how could the woman possibly let Zhang Xiaoshan off the hook?
Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaoshan turned and left immediately, having already received the Dragon Ball as an unexpected bonus.
"puff!"
Suddenly, the woman coughed up a mouthful of blood; it was a finger strike from outside the hall, nearly five or six zhang away, that directly released her pressure points.
Moreover, this force also healed the internal injuries sustained during the battle with the bronze-armored warrior.
With that one gesture, even the woman's original desire for revenge vanished completely.
Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action!
It was only because Zhang Xiaoshan had no murderous intent that he did so; otherwise, with the change in the first finger, even three lives wouldn't have been enough to save that woman.
"It looks more like the One-Finger Divine Skill?"
"This is far more powerful than the One-Finger Divine Skill, and the fact that it broke the Absorption Technique with a single finger shows how refined it is!"
During the conversation between Hengdao and Zhuge Zhengwo, the mysterious woman's eyes also appeared unfathomable.
"Young lady, although Young Master Zhang is a bit of a womanizer, he is still quite upright in his actions, so please don't take it to heart!"
Is this a compliment or an insult?
Hengdao glanced at Zhuge Zhengwo, clearly warning the young lady to be careful.
However, today he was truly amazed. The bronze-armored warrior severely injured a top expert with a single palm strike, and Zhang Xiaoshan's finger strike from five or six zhang away was even more domineering. A single finger could save lives, and it could also kill. This could be considered the number one finger strike in the world.
Such unparalleled martial arts skills are rare in the world.
However, there is no problem with its origin. After all, Wudang's Pure Yang Wuji Gong is perfectly legitimate, and Wudang itself has acknowledged it.
As for Dragon Ball?
Although the mystery of the Dragon Ball is unknown, Zhang Xiaoshan's elegant gestures suggest that the Dragon Ball is indeed worth 300,000 taels of gold.
Otherwise, when has any young master Zhang ever done a business that resulted in a loss?
However, he and Zhuge Zhengwo understood that this was Zhang Xiaoshan's secret.
They asked, but Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't possibly answer.
Because they represent the government.
How could Zhang Xiaoshan possibly reveal the secret of the Dragon Ball to them? If he did, the first thing to attack the Zhang family would probably be their imperial court.
However, they did not come away empty-handed: the bronze-armored warrior, the dragon-seeking disc, and the dragon ball—each of these items was related to meteorite copper.
"Goodbye, young lady, and I won't see you off!"
"Humph!"
The woman had never suffered such a loss before, but at this moment she could only swallow her anger.
Even the three bronze-armored warriors and the young master of the Zhang family were strong enough to kill her in one move, let alone the Zhang family's dangerous and dangerous place.
After the woman came out, she quickly disappeared without a trace, even though there were many skilled people among those who were following her.
She reappeared as a beautiful but destitute orphan, wandering the streets weak and helpless.
Her hesitant and fearful demeanor quickly attracted the attention of a group of spoiled brats and hooligans. Under the teasing and coercion of the hooligans, she fled frantically, soon becoming a spectacle on the street.
Pfft!
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the woman suddenly stumbled, her delicate figure falling like a willow catkin in front of the Red Mansion.
"Young lady, run!"
"presumptuous!".
Chapter 117 Sitting Tranquilly on the Fishing Platform, the Dragon Seeking Plate Sells Well
The news of the Zhang family's trade in the Dragon Pearl spread like wildfire throughout Lin'an Prefecture.
The Six Doors were not an impenetrable fortress. Although the specific details of the transaction were unknown, the unusual activity of the Dragon-Seeking Compass was noticed by many constables, which indicated something extraordinary.
Therefore, news of the transaction quickly spread throughout Lin'an Prefecture.
Only then did everyone realize that inside the Six Doors, there was actually a Dragon-Seeking Compass that could distinguish the authenticity of the Dragon Ball.
This is a feng shui wonder!
"Wanyan Kang greets the young master!"
When word spread that the Zhang family had traded the Dragon Pearl, Wanyan Kang arrived with six top experts from the Jin Kingdom.
Regardless of how shocking the news is, we should first verify it.
When Zhang Xiaoshan saw Wanyan Kang, his gaze was fixed on a figure closely following Wanyan Kang.
"So it's Chief Qiu! This junior greets you with courtesy!"
"Young Master Zhang, do you know me?"
Qiu Qianren suffered a great loss at Guo Jing's hands, and dared not be arrogant in front of Zhang Xiaoshan.
First, Zhang Xiaoshan was already a top-tier expert two years ago; second, the bronze-armored warriors were terrifying—back then, a single warrior could easily kill Ouyang Feng.
"Chief Qiu, you don't know? Your brother is learning the 19th technique of the Ghost Hand in the Zhang residence?"
"My elder brother!"
Upon hearing the name of that person he was so ashamed of, Qiu Qianren gritted his teeth, feeling utterly helpless.
That was his older brother; blood is thicker than water.
"Is that so? Then I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Zhang."
The "Ghost Hand Technique" was just a fancy name; he knew what kind of person his older brother was. If he could get a job in the Zhang family, it might not be a bad thing.
"Everyone, please!"
"please!"
Wanyan Kang, who was in the hall, didn't know how to start the conversation.
The secret of the Dragon Balls has left the entire Kyushu region in a state of panic, as even the Great Jin Dynasty doesn't possess a single genuine one.
Now that a dragon ball that may be genuine has suddenly appeared in the Zhang family's possession, anyone could potentially be a threat to the Zhang family.
Moreover, if the Dragon Ball were truly traded for 300,000 taels of gold, it would be impossible for the Great Jin to reclaim it.
After all, the Zhang family spent 300,000 taels of gold to buy it. Not to mention the premium incurred during resale, even at the fair price, the Great Jin Kingdom would never offer a dragon ball for 300,000 taels of gold.
"Young Prince, have you come here for the Dragon Pearl?"
"Indeed, I wonder if Young Master Zhang would allow us to have a look at you?"
"You can do anything!"
With a flick of his wrist, a dark, unremarkable dragon pearl appeared in Zhang Xiaoshan's palm.
It was the size of a ping-pong ball and looked completely ordinary; no one could see anything unusual about it, not even Qiu Qianren, who looked suspicious.
Such a dark, unremarkable thing is worth 300,000 taels of gold?
Or perhaps the other party is just trying to fool them.
"May I ask, young master, what is so special about this dragon pearl?"
"I don't know yet why I bought this Dragon Ball."
I learned about this Dragon Ball from Ghost Street; it was forged by Emperor Taizu of Jin using a piece of meteorite copper from outer space, combined with extraordinary materials from across the land. I don't know the Dragon Ball's effects, but I do know the meteorite copper was extraordinary.
Meteorite!
