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

These can be described as two incurable and devastating blows.

But now, the news that Yan Nantian's meridians have been restored has caused a stir among countless people in the martial arts world.

Just like the Black Jade Broken Ointment back then, how many martial arts practitioners were crippled because of fighting;

Similarly, there are many powerful individuals whose heart meridians are damaged or who have gone into a state of demonic possession. Even Yan Nantian, who is in a state of being alive but dead, can be cured. Wouldn't it be even simpler to treat them?

As a result, they were all quite excited.

Similarly, those suffering from dwarfism also looked to the Underworld Emperor. If the Underworld Emperor could also cure them, wouldn't that mean...?

Only the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny knew that Zhang Xiaoshan truly possessed this ability; she herself had benefited from it back then.

The Underworld Emperor, like her, suffered from physical stunting due to practicing martial arts.

Another month passed, and when the Underworld Emperor stepped out of the Heavenly Mystery Tower, he was a handsome young man, seven feet tall.

At this time, the Underworld Emperor was already in his early forties, reaching the age of no confusion.

Besides being a newly grown body, they also possess profound internal strength, which allows them to maintain this state and prevents them from aging over a long period of time.

At the same time, his sinister smile is even more chilling.

"Yang Yan (Yang Miao) pays respects to the Underworld Emperor!"

The two men stared at the grown-up Underworld Emperor with disbelief in their eyes.

They came to escort the treasure, essentially to ransom people.

Zhang Xiaoshan saved people, but he demanded payment. As for forcibly entering Ghost Street?

Not to mention offending the Zhang family, Ghost Street is not an easy place to trespass. There are Ghost Street Guardians of similar power and Ghost Yama, who are like the Underworld Emperor. Moreover, this is still human territory.

However, they did not expect that when they saw the Underworld Emperor again, he would be a young boy.

Undoubtedly, the Underworld Emperor's medical treatment was successful, and these three treasures were certainly worthwhile.

"Congratulations, Emperor of the Underworld!"

"Alright, Yang Yan and Yang Miao, you have both rendered great service this time. When we return, I will reward you handsomely!"

The Underworld Emperor gave a wicked smile. The feeling of growing up undoubtedly made him feel like he was floating on air, no longer needing to enjoy the strange looks from others.

As they departed with the two protectors of the Xuanming Sect, the crowd unconsciously made way for them.

This is the Underworld Emperor, a peerless master of the Wu Tang Empire.

Even the two judges were masters at the pinnacle of their skill.

At this moment, on the Heavenly Mystery Tower, Zhang Xiaoshan and Ghost Yama looked at the departing figure of the Underworld Emperor and both smiled contemptuously.

"Uncle Ghost, from now on, anyone who seeks medical help will be rewarded with one to three treasures, depending on the severity of their injuries."

"My subordinate understands!"

Even Ghost Yama couldn't help but laugh and cry at Zhang Xiaoshan's business acumen.

However, it must be said that Zhang Xiaoshan's methods were indeed brilliant.

Leaving aside Yan Nantian and the Underworld Emperor this time, the previous incidents involving Tong Lao, Dongfang Bubai, and the Empress Yin, if they hadn't been shrouded in the aura of the Dragon Ball, would probably have resulted in a constant stream of patients seeking medical help, just like they are now.

However, the main reason is the rarity of pure Yang purple qi. Previously, Zhang Xiaoshan's skill had not yet reached its full potential, and he needed at least three days to recover. He even claimed to the outside world that it would take a month!

Now Zhang Xiaoshan is no longer worried about the energy expenditure, claiming he can recover in three days, a tenfold difference.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaoshan's Grandmaster cultivation level could no longer be concealed.

In response, most people felt that this was actually normal.

It's not unusual for an eighteen-year-old master, who has already achieved Foundation Establishment, to reach the Grandmaster level within ten years.

A suit of gold-threaded armor; the gold threads, of course, are not real gold, but rather golden silkworm silk.

A fire-reishi mushroom over 5,000 years old is worth more than 15 taels of ginseng.

A luminous pearl, but not fluorite, but a shark pearl.

As for what kind of shark pearl it is?

Zhang Xiaoshan didn't know the specifics, and even the Underworld Emperor only knew that it was a treasure presented as tribute from the Western Regions.

These mermaid pearls can prevent corpses from decaying for thousands of years. In addition, they are a type of luminous pearl, which has the effect of an ever-burning lamp, and they are placed on the corpse!

"I've taken the Golden Silk Armor and the Fire Spirit Mushroom. As for the Mermaid Pearl?"

"Uncle Ghost, placed within the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion as one of the grand finales of the transactions, its function is neither particularly significant nor insignificant."

"Yes, son!"

However, Zhang Xiaoshanbin did not leave Ghost Street directly, but instead went to a secret room deeper underground.

At this moment, the ancient sword spirit who was cultivating inside, although he knew about Zhang Xiaoshan's restrictions, did not believe that he could not break through Zhang Xiaoshan's seal.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaoshan's seal was too malevolent.

Based on his experience, Gu Jianhun believed that if he were to directly seal Zhang Xiaoshan's acupoints, Zhang Xiaoshan would definitely not be able to trap him.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan applied the Qingliang Temple method to him, and no matter how many times Gu Jianhun tried, he couldn't even circulate his internal energy, let alone find the sealed acupoints.

It was as if his martial arts skills had been completely destroyed, let alone the reversal of his true energy.

"Senior hasn't grasped it yet?"

"Hmph, a prisoner is no need for your concern, young master!"

Seeing the unconvinced look on Gu Jianhun's face, Zhang Xiaoshan offered no words of comfort, and chuckled:

"Unless a junior intervenes or the senior attains enlightenment through Zen Buddhism, it will be extremely difficult to recover the senior's internal strength."

"This junior has come to visit you, senior, just after the departure of the Underworld Emperor of the Xuanming Sect. I also received three treasures, which I'd like to share with you in good spirits."

"When you're in a good mood, I'm in a bad mood!"

Gu Jianhun looked at the two treasures in Zhang Xiaoshan's hands with resentment in his eyes.

Zhang Xiaoshan didn't kill him, and Ghost Yama had already advised him countless times.

After all, the Zhang family's rescue was well-intentioned, but if Gu Jianhun went out and continued to do evil, the Zhang family's good intentions would become the root of a catastrophe in the martial arts world. How could they allow that?

Therefore, in addition to the external mechanisms, the entrance to the secret chamber requires the internal strength of a grandmaster to forcefully break through.

"Senior still can't let go of the hatred. How many experts died at the Gates of Hell in this battle?"

It can be said that the senior was completely manipulated. After this battle, the martial world will enter an era of decline for the righteous and rise for the evil. The senior's so-called revenge is nothing more than a tool for others to weaken the martial world.

"…" Slice the Demon's Legion with a knife? Hahaha, isn't that great?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head. There was no way he could let such a madman go.

"I often hear people say that grandparents and grandchildren are very close. How about we have a grandchild for you? Maybe that can completely resolve your hatred!"

"you dare!"

Gu Jianhun's eyes turned bloodshot instantly, and he struck Zhang Xiaoshan with a palm.

Unfortunately, even if Gu Jianhun were at his peak, let alone having lost all his power, he might not have been able to seriously injure Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Hey, what are you thinking, senior? It's about love between men and women, a normal couple."

Does the senior intend for Miss Tu to remain a widow for the rest of her life? The junior's suggestion is that Miss Tu find a spouse and get married as soon as possible, since she is now considered an old maid.

If she doesn't get married soon, she might really end up becoming a nun in her old age.

She was twenty-three or twenty-four years old, which is the age when a female knight-errant in the martial arts world was still unmarried.

In Lin'an Prefecture, most respectable girls get married around the age of fifteen, with some as young as twelve or thirteen.

Moreover, this was not a child bride, but a formal wedding with proper betrothal and formal arrangements, and they could consummate their marriage that very night.

Before Zhang Xiaoshan transmigrated, his predecessor not only went to a brothel at the age of twelve, but also lost his virginity!

This shows that people in ancient times were precocious.

This is also why the birth and death rates were high in ancient times!

Brides aged 12 or older but under 15 (or younger) are considered to be within the normal range for marriage.

Xuehua's surname is Gu, not Tu!

As for what you said, it's not impossible, but I must do it myself..."

"Tch, let's talk about it when you can get out of here, senior."

"And Miss Tu will come to visit you later, senior. The timing is uncertain; it depends entirely on when the person he's protecting comes to Jiangnan!"

Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head as he looked at Gu Jianhun, who still wanted to personally oversee the process.

"No, Xuehua is my daughter. If I entrust her to the wrong person, wouldn't I regret it for the rest of my life?"

"Senior, you should save your breath."

To be honest, even Master Tu's judgment is better than his predecessor's.

Moreover, Master Tu is also very responsible. As for the senior, just wait to hold your grandson!

"you dare!"

Zhang Xiaoshan ignored Gu Jianhun's roar and turned to leave.

At the same time, Ghost Street also released a message:

Those who wish to seek medical treatment at the Zhang family's residence must register on Ghost Street; otherwise, even if they beg on their knees for three days and three nights, Zhang Xiaoshan will not cure them.

This is the rule.

Zhang Xiaoshan isn't a specialist doctor. If he could treat every disease, he might as well become an imperial physician.

Moreover, the treasures offered as a reward to those who provide healing must be obtained honestly and fairly, not stolen goods.

Otherwise, the Zhang family will not accept it, and may even take action to eliminate the demon and uphold justice.

Chapter 368 The Birth of the Third Generation of the Zhang Family

"Brother, to heal your injuries, we need at least one priceless treasure!"

Ghost Street!

At this moment, two burly men led an old man out of the Heavenly Mystery Tower, their expressions somewhat grim.

They finally discovered a way to cure the old man, but they never expected that it would require a priceless treasure as payment.

"The Zhang family is not a charity. They charge for medical treatment, and the prices are clearly marked. It's not like they're forcing you to buy or sell!"

Moreover, I know my internal injuries are so severe that even legendary healers like Hua Tuo and Ping Yizhi are powerless to help, only able to suppress them with medication. If I can fully recover, what is a priceless treasure worth?

The old man shook his head upon hearing this.

The physician in the hall just now was an imperial physician, so his diagnosis was naturally very clear.

His injuries didn't look serious, but they affected his heart meridian, and even a renowned doctor could only suppress them.

Taking medication day after day for ten years has prevented a relapse, but it ultimately only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.

"But brother, rare treasures are hard to find."

Gold would be fine, but priceless treasures are incredibly rare; once they appear in the world, how could we possibly have a chance?

“I know that treasures can be collected slowly, there’s no rush.”

I've already endured ten years, so what if I take it to my grave? If I find it within three years, I can still cling to life for a while longer.

If there's no news after three years, there's no point in searching anymore. After sixty years, what difference will it make whether you treat it or not?

The two felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this; this was reality!

They came with hope, but left disappointed.

And almost every day, the people who come out of Tianji Tower are performing the same thing.

There are many people who are not short of money, but rare treasures are not easy to find.

Therefore, most people returned disappointed, especially since the Zhang family cared about their reputation and refused to accept treasures of dubious origin.

"That kid has a brilliant idea!"

Zhuge Zhengwo passed by the group that had just sighed 150 times and left. Zhang Xiaoshan's methods were extremely clever.
