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

870 The Absorption Technique and the Northern Darkness Divine Art are of the same origin.

The Absorption Technique is a peerless demonic art, while the Northern Darkness Divine Art is a Taoist divine art. If the two could be combined, it would be an immense blessing for the Ghost King Yama.

At least it can curb the backlash from the Absorption Technique.

As for Bai Hong's palm strike, although the Netherworld Ghost Claw is fierce and domineering, it still cannot escape the shadow of the Nine Yin Divine Claw. Ghost Yama lacks his own unique ultimate skill.

The strangeness of Bai Hong's palm strike could perfectly compensate for Ghost Yama's shortcomings.

The characteristic of Baihong Palm is its unpredictable and unpredictable force, making it difficult to defend against, and giving people the strongest feeling of eeriness.

"Thank you, sir!"

Ghost Yama knew that the martial arts Zhang Xiaoshan had given him were no ordinary secret techniques.

After putting it away, without even checking it, he placed the item in front of Zhang Xiaoshan.

It's still six sacred flame tokens, but the Diamond Sutra that was engraved last time has been replaced with a Zoroastrian sacred decree:

The blazing sacred fire consumed my remaining body.

What joy is there in living, and what sorrow in dying?

To do good and eliminate evil, only for the sake of light...

There are no obvious flaws on the surface. As long as you have enough merit, you can just apply more merit.

"The items are correct. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Gui!"

"This is my duty. Also, the villains that Young Master asked me to gather, who are at least top-tier experts, have all been captured in the secret room!"

Zhang Xiaoshan went to great lengths to help Shopkeeper Feng master the Northern Darkness Divine Skill.

These wicked people are either bandits or various thieves; no one would care if they were captured.

Moreover, their heads could later be used to claim a reward from the Six Doors.

"Keep it locked up for now, and this is related to the secret manual I just gave to Uncle Gui."

Of the two unique skills mentioned above, the Northern Darkness Divine Skill is similar to Uncle Ghost's Absorption Technique, but it belongs to the Taoist school. It can transform the absorbed internal energy into the Taoist Northern Darkness True Qi, eliminating the danger of backlash.

However, the Absorption Technique uses the dantian as an empty valley to contain all rivers;

The Northern Darkness Divine Art, however, stores the absorbed internal energy in the meridians, transforming it before storing it in the dantian; therefore, there is a significant difference!

"Beiming Divine Art!"

Upon hearing that the Northern Darkness Divine Art was stronger than the Absorption Technique, even Ghost Yama was startled.

I never imagined that such a martial art existed in the world. If it is real, its terrifying power is unimaginable, far more terrifying than the Absorbing Power Technique.

"Thank you, sir!"

To cultivate the Northern Darkness Divine Art, one must first abandon the Absorption Technique, a process fraught with extreme danger and difficulty.

Moreover, both the Northern Darkness Divine Art and the Absorption Technique have their advantages. Therefore, Ghost Yama did not intend to switch to the Northern Darkness Divine Art, but he could certainly learn from it.

"Uncle Ghost, I'll go check on Ghost Slave first. You can study it yourself for now."

Having arrived at the Chaotic Demon Pool, more than a month had passed, and the Black Mountain Envoy was now almost completely soaked.

If it were anyone else, they might already be dead, but the Black Mountain Envoy is already a cyborg. The highly toxic pool water inside is a great source of muscle fiber, strengthening the hardness of his limbs.

The black slaves who emerged not only had not lost their strength, but their bodies were also as strong as steel!

This is the effect of the Chaotic Demon Pool at this moment.

"Let's go!"

Zhang Xiaoshan didn't care at all about the stiff movements.

First, the Black Mountain Envoy had just come out, and his muscles were not fully relaxed.

Secondly, without the enhancement from the Dragon Balls, Black Mountain's body is not yet truly made of copper and iron.

Ding! Ding! Ding...

He strode into the blacksmith's shop, where the sounds of hammering and chiseling filled the air.

"Master!"

When the group of blacksmiths saw Zhang Xiaoshan enter, their eyes lit up with surprise and they treated him with utmost respect.

They've landed another job, and not only will they receive a reward of ten gold coins for each one completed, but they'll also witness the birth of a bronze-armored warrior.

Seeing the old black slave behind Zhang Xiaoshan, I realized that this was the same black slave who caused trouble at the docks last time, and he deserved it.

"If you're ready, let's begin."

"Yes!"

Previously, it was gleaming bronze armor, but now, what the craftsmen are bringing out, though it's a red-hot branding iron, is not bronze armor at all.

It's meteorite iron black armor!

The meteorite iron did not come from Zhang Xiaoshan's meteorite iron folding fan, but from the black armor plate that Lei Laowu had brought from the Imperial Mausoleum Road.

These black armor plates are not only made of black iron meteorite iron, but also contain a large amount of meteorite copper, even exceeding the total weight of the three sets of copper armor.

Zhang Xiaoshan suspected there should be nine Dragon Balls, but the last one was used to forge the Black Armor.

Otherwise, the large amount of meteorite copper on the black armor cannot be directly explained.

As for its purpose, it was probably a means for emperors to achieve immortality, or perhaps a trap to guard the spirit.

For example, if he were to die of old age, not only would he be protected by six great ghost corpses, but he would also have a set of meteorite copper armor made that could 'bring him back to life' made for his own use.

Who knows, when he wakes up in the future, he may have become a terrifying being like the Golden Armored Corpse King.

Hiss hiss hiss...

Looking at the skin hardened like iron under the branding iron, the blacksmiths couldn't help but sigh at the perversion of this black slave.

In this respect alone, his physical strength is probably far superior to that of the other three bronze-armored warriors, which explains why he wore black armor this time.

It should be noted that the black armor is made of black iron and meteorite iron, and its red-hot temperature is higher than that of the copper armor.

Soon, dense, dragon-scale-like black armor covered the Black Mountain Envoy's body.

"beat!"

Ding! Ding! Ding...

He was already considered an experienced blacksmith, and his hammering was well-coordinated, powerful, and steady.

Chapter 165 The Sale of Imperial Treasures Begins

"Blood Tempering!"

As a large wooden tub was drenched in human blood, the black armor immediately turned a dark red.

However, the red color was just blood soaking in and quickly disappeared, leaving only a huge body that looked like a small giant.

At this moment, against the backdrop of the black armor, the black slave's already extremely burly body appeared even more ferocious and domineering, like a god, exuding a terrifying aura that made people tremble.

Wow!

Immediately, the giant-like black-armored warrior knelt on one knee and performed a salute of loyalty to Zhang Xiaoshan.

This is a form of loyalty for samurai, and it also serves to conceal the identity of the demon corpse.

Even though the blacksmiths had many doubts during the forging process, this ceremony of pledging allegiance dispelled all their doubts.

They personally forged the meteorite iron black armor, then personally inlaid each piece, hammering it firmly to ensure it was tight. How could a mindless puppet possibly perform a warrior's oath of allegiance without Zhang Xiaoshan's orders?

Keep in mind that this was all happening in front of everyone, which only proves that both the bronze-armored and black-armored warriors are men of unwavering integrity.

Zhang Xiaoshan said nothing and turned to leave.

"Take care, young master!"

The blacksmiths breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the terrifying black shadow disappear.

The pressure from that dark figure was immense, far exceeding their previous understanding of bronze-armored warriors, for reasons they didn't know.

It's impossible for a black-armored warrior to be one level higher than a bronze-armored warrior.

Perhaps due to their size, most of them, who were nearly three meters tall, barely reached the waistline of the black slaves.

It was the aura, like that of a ferocious beast, that made it so terrifying.

"Black-armored warrior!"

As soon as the blacksmith came out to capture him, everyone on the street saw the black-armored warrior behind Zhang Xiaoshan.

Those martial arts practitioners were especially surprised when they saw the black-armored warrior. This young master Zhang had stopped using bronze armor and started using black armor?

Looking at the extremely burly, giant-like black-armored warrior, even though Zhang Xiaoshan was already tall enough to stand out from the crowd, he appeared scholarly and frail in comparison.

But even though Zhang Xiaoshan is 'thin', he is still nine feet tall.

Compared to most people, his shoulder width and arm length are both unusual.

"Interesting. Young Master Zhang doesn't play with bronze armor anymore, so why is he playing with black armor?"

The voice rang out among the crowd, but no one appeared.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan did not pursue the matter further regarding this evasive situation. Instead, he explained:

'If you're not going to wear bronze armor, then black armor is definitely better!'

This black armor was originally placed in the Heavenly Mystery Tower by Lei Laowu of the Nine Gates. Some time ago, Zhang placed some things in Ghost Street and discovered it by chance.

This black armor not only contains meteorite copper components on top of the copper armor, but the entire piece is also made of meteorite iron.

Compared to bronze armor, black armor is undoubtedly more valuable.

Copper meteorites! Iron meteorites!

Everyone suddenly understood after hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation.

Wind-milled copper is simply dense copper material; it is not the best material for forging swords and armor.

On the contrary, whether it is meteorite copper or meteorite iron, they are all absolute treasures in the martial arts world.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan obtained this from inside the Tianji Tower.

For a moment, many people thought of Lei Laowu's gains and their eyes lit up.

They had been searching for the Dragon Balls, but Lei Laowu had robbed the entire Jin Dynasty imperial tombs. So many stolen goods must still be in the Tianji Tower, and they probably haven't been sold yet.

Moreover, the only place Lei Laowu trusted to sell stolen goods was Ghost Street.

Thinking of this treasure, many people hid among the crowd and headed towards the Heavenly Mystery Tower.

You should know that the burial items in the imperial tombs are priceless, and if you arrive too late, they'll be gone.

On the contrary, Zhang Xiaoshan, who was leaving, couldn't help but reveal a mysterious smile on his lips.

Besides gold, silver and jewels, the number of burial objects in the imperial tombs is unknown.

Because of the sensation caused by Dragon Ball, these things naturally rotted away somewhere, and now is the perfect time to take them out.

Moreover, the materials such as the Sacred Flame Token and the Xuan Iron that Zhang Xiaoshan forged during this period came from the burial objects in the imperial mausoleum. Otherwise, given the rarity of Xuan Iron, it would not have been possible to find it in a short time.

"Young master, the Buddhist hall is ready!"

Besides Hongxiao and Jiangxue's replies, there was also Huang Rong's murderous glare.

She wouldn't believe there wasn't something fishy about Master Mingchen suddenly moving here from the Zhang family's Buddhist hall.

Why didn't Mingchen move here before?

The others also looked at Zhang Xiaoshan, who was clearly a charming young master and had won another victory.

Hongxiao led Zhang Xiaoshan to the Buddhist shrine behind the villa.

The statue enshrined above is a white jade Guanyin, a seated statue about half the height of a person. It is made of top-grade white jade that is close to the quality of mutton fat jade, and the carving of a single piece is worth a fortune.

· ········Requesting flowers· ········

On the incense table, inside the wind-milled copper incense burner, the incense is the finest agarwood.

This stuff is indeed valuable, but the Zhang family brings tons of agarwood from Southeast Asia every year.
