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

The burly man immediately felt a sense of impending doom, sensing that the bronze-armored warrior had suddenly awakened and his strength had surged dramatically.

"Using the bronze armor as a medium, the power of the Dragon Balls is infused into the body!"

This allows them to strengthen and modify their bodies, and also unleash the power of the Dragon Balls—this is their peak condition!

With a single thought from Zhang Xiaoshan, the bronze-armored corpse leaped more than ten feet into the air.

The moment it crashed down, it was like a meteor falling to earth, carrying the destructive force of the Buddha's palm.

boom!

The earth shook violently, and dust filled the air.

Amidst the shock of the burly man and the young girl, what came into view was a large pit, five zhang in circumference and ten zhang deep, which sent chills down their spines.

Moreover, within a radius of ten feet, the rocks were cracked, and the cracks extended for more than a hundred feet.

Such destructive power is terrifying!

"The Demon Heart Pill can only control their bodies; the power to truly transform them is the power of the Dragon Balls."

Your previous attempt to study their secrets, no matter the cost, will ultimately be in vain.

"Young man, how do I exchange this bead?"

"It can't be changed, and it won't be changed."

The value of this thing is incomparable to that of meteorite copper, and even if you got your hands on it, you wouldn't be able to operate it. If you don't believe me, try it yourself.

He casually tossed the Dragon Ball to them. Looking at the bronze ball in their hands, the two couldn't believe that Zhang Xiaoshan had just given them the Dragon Ball like that.

"Huh? I think I can control it!"

what?

To Zhang Xiaoshan and Huang Rong's astonishment, they saw the girl's true qi flowing into the dragon pearl, causing it to shimmer with a soft light.

Immediately, a vast and terrifying power of heaven and earth descended. The familiar power made everyone look at the Miao girl in disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.

Zhang Xiaoshan could sense that the girl did not possess the power of the meteorite copper, but was instead relying on her own true qi to drive the power of the dragon ball.

A miracle? Or perhaps this girl, like him, has some kind of superpower.

"How amazing! This bead seems to be able to mobilize the power of heaven and earth?"

"Don't move!"

Before the girl could play around with it, Zhang Xiaoshan immediately retrieved the Dragon Ball.

Even though the Dragon Ball was in the girl's hands, Zhang Xiaoshan had already thoroughly refined it over time and was more familiar with its power than the girl herself.

"The power of the Dragon Balls cannot be used casually, especially not by being poured into a person's body."

The power of the Dragon Balls is so immense that while it can forcibly enhance a person's strength when infused into them, the powerful energy can also backfire, assimilating the body.

"assimilation?"

The two looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in confusion, not understanding what assimilation meant.

"Besides ghost corpses, I have also infused the bodies of two living people, and they have both been elevated to the level of Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm."

However, one person, without the bronze armor as a medium, was overwhelmed by the Dragon Ball's power and transformed into a bodyless fire being; the other, using the bronze armor as a medium, had their body fused with it, existing entirely dependent on the armor!

"A fire person without a body?"

"It is a humanoid flame that does not have a physical body, but exists only as flames."

Moreover, in order to maintain the power of the flames, it must kill people to burn as fuel, thus ensuring its continued existence; therefore, I call it the Fire Demon!

"What about the other one (of the coins) who melted into the bronze armor?"

"Similar to bronze-armored warriors, they can never remove their bronze armor because they themselves have become one with it!"

Hiss...

The two gasped in surprise, not expecting the power of the Dragon Balls to be so malevolent.

"I'm not changing it!!"

The big man shook his head immediately; this thing was poisonous and could cause unconsciousness.

If what Zhang Xiaoshan said is true, one transforming into a fire demon and the other being imprisoned in a bronze armor cage, both would be worse than death.

"If you find the Dragon Balls, you are welcome to exchange them for the bronze armor with a thousand-year-old divine medicine. Otherwise, without a medium, the power of the Dragon Balls cannot be used by anyone else!"

Zhang Xiaoshan was initially quite confident, but now he was certain that the other party would definitely exchange for the bronze armor.

The girl can activate the power of the Dragon Balls, and anyone who isn't stupid will understand that the bronze armor is indispensable.

Just like you need a Dragon Finding Disc to find the real Dragon Balls, this is an essential item!

Chapter 253 The Compromise of the Twelve Caves of the Blue Phoenix Sect of the Five Immortals Sect

"Is this the end?"

Watching the man and woman leave, Huang Rong felt somewhat at a loss.

She originally thought the other party would definitely offer a high price and that Zhang Xiaoshan would rip her off, but she didn't expect him to leave so quickly.

And his lack of enthusiasm at the end clearly indicated that it wouldn't work out in the end.

"Otherwise, do you think they can make the decisions?"

"Don't worry, this deal is done, and it's not just one ancient medicinal herb."

Looking at the usually clever and quick-witted Huang Rong, who now seemed somewhat dull, it seems she hasn't become "pregnant and stupid" for three years yet.

I'm starting to feel confused.

Observing the words and expressions, Zhang Xiaoshan knew that there really was a ten-thousand-year-old divine medicine in Chiyou Village, or a treasure comparable to it.

As for their lack of interest or disinterest?

But Zhang Xiaoshan believed that there were quite a few people in Chiyou Village who were interested.

Once they report it up, the elders in Chiyou Village will definitely choose to make a deal, but those old guys aren't as easy to fool as two youngsters.

But Zhang Xiaoshan had his own trump card, so he wasn't worried at all that they would disagree.

"Let's go. After we take care of them, there's still Twelve Caves to go!"

"They're not from the Twelve Caves?"

"No, that kid's powerful and abundant blood energy was in no way inferior to my previous Seven Cauldrons Divine Power."

As I mentioned before, Chiyou Village uses medicine and poison to refine and strengthen its body, and its physique is even superior to the "Shennong Immortal Body" of the peasants. Therefore, it must be following the path of Chiyou Village.

As for the Twelve Caves, let's wait and see. If they're sharing information, that's fine; otherwise, they're in for a rough time.

The carriage continued its journey along the desolate official road.

Although the southwestern border region is not as desolate as the northwest, it is densely forested and sparsely populated, so people often live in groups in the form of mountain villages.

Even the Han people were not exempt from this.

The saying "bad people come from poor mountains and bad waters" often describes this place.

After all, mountain villages in the Central Plains often suffer from collective droughts due to water shortages.

Not to mention the mountain people who rarely leave the mountains and live among tigers, leopards, wolves, and jackals.

It's not that they're really making things difficult. On the contrary, many villagers in mountain villages are simple and honest, but due to the lack of cultural heritage and the information gap caused by years of not communicating with the outside world, both sides are unable to communicate.

Coupled with the fierce spirit of the mountain people, it was this that impressed so many scholars.

Woof woof woof...

Suddenly, a barking chorus of dogs broke out, and Huang Rong and the others immediately realized that a large number of venomous snakes and ferocious beasts were moving around nearby.

Only with this kind of perception would the two psychic hounds keep barking warnings.

Liu Sheng Piaoxu stepped out of the carriage, but returned a moment later, and said softly:

"Young master, there's a tea stall ahead, and some people from Miao territory are loitering there!"

A tea stall?

There are many tea stalls along the ancient road in Southwest China, and Zhang Xiaoshan has previously raided many shady shops!

Moreover, the Miao people are probably resting there while waiting for them.

One wave after another came, and Zhang Xiaoshan continued forward, eager to see which kind of extraordinary beings would appear next.

As soon as Zhang Xiaoshan arrived at the tea stall, he saw a beautiful woman in a blue dress with silver ornaments sizing him up.

Charming and beautiful, with a charming smile, she is another great beauty.

However, what caught Zhang Xiaoshan's eye the most was a bamboo leaf green jade pendant on her slender hand. It was emerald green and crystal clear, and was so thin that it looked more like a work of art.

Zhang Xiaoshan knew that this was not a work of art, but a bamboo viper king.

Its seemingly small mouth can release enough venom to kill tens of thousands of people in a single spit, and it is even faster than the Bosphorus snake.

Even a top expert could be fatally wounded by a sudden attack, potentially dying instantly from a single blow.

"Oh, what a handsome young master from the Central Plains! This humble servant, Lan Fenghuang, greets you, young master!"

Lan Fenghuang's heart truly fluttered. Although she was not as reserved as the women of the Central Plains, she was still a creature of beauty.

She was already curious about her target, but she never expected him to be such a handsome young man, a million times more handsome than the men in her Miao region.

"So it's Sect Leader Lan. May I ask what brings you here to stop us on our way?"

The Five Immortals Sect's Blue Phoenix?

Zhang Xiaoshan was surprised to find that the visitor was an 'acquaintance'.

Although Lan Fenghuang's performance in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer was not very good.

But now, against the backdrop of the entire Miao region, the leader of the Five Immortals Sect, who is no less formidable than the Five Poison Child, is a figure of considerable fear.

"It's nothing, it's just that I've long admired the heroes of the Central Plains and want to see just who this young master Zhang is, who killed the Lord of the Blissful Cave and traversed thousands of miles of Miao territory unscathed?"

I never expected to meet such a handsome and tall young man today! It truly surprised me!

"Is Leader Lan disappointed?"

"The young man is wrong, but it's a surprise for the young lady."

I often heard the older members of the sect say that the Central Plains is full of hidden talents, and I was just curious at first!

The fact that this young man was able to walk here unscathed despite the repeated attacks from the Twelve Caves makes him undoubtedly the number one person in the Central Plains over the years.

This is the Five Treasures Honey Wine of my Five Immortals Sect. Today, on behalf of my Miao people, I apologize to you, young man.

With a flick of his long whip, he tossed over a jar of fine wine weighing at least ten pounds.

After Zhang Xiaoshan opened it, a rich aroma of wine wafted out.

The wine jar contained all five poisonous creatures, and most people would probably be so frightened by the sight that they would throw it away.

But Zhang Xiaoshan knew that this was a good thing.

"The item is good, but unfortunately, it's not very useful to my level of understanding."

Back then, when the Ghost Doctor researched and developed the Blood Poison Tea based on the Five Treasures Flower Honey Wine, Zhang Xiaoshan didn't experience any reaction after drinking it. Now that his cultivation level is even higher, he's drinking the 'non-poisonous' Five Treasures Flower Honey Wine.

"Master Lan, must we drink it now?"

It would be a waste for Zhang to drink such a powerful and potent medicine.

"We don't have any good gifts to give as souvenirs on our way to Dali, but this Five Treasures Honey Wine, which can enhance one's merit, is one of the treasures of the Southwest. The Dali Kingdom should recognize it."

"Young man, you are truly knowledgeable, for you know that the Five Treasures Honey Wine of my Five Immortals Sect has the effect of enhancing one's skills."

As for your act of using my gifts to curry favor, there's no reason for me, Lan Fenghuang, to take back what I've given away. You are free to do with it as you see fit.

Seeing that Lan Fenghuang's pretty face showed no concern, Zhang Xiaoshan resealed the seal and threw it behind him.

This stuff has very little effect compared to Red Silk and Crimson Snow.

Moreover, it contained all five poisonous creatures: toads, centipedes, snakes, scorpions, and geckos, so the two women dared not drink it.

"I don't have any good gifts to give you right now, Master. Next time you come to the Central Plains, you can visit the Zhang family in Lin'an Prefecture. I do have a few 'Bodhi-Curved Snakes' that I can give you!"

"A Bodhi Serpent? Young man, you have such a strange snake?"
