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

This was their first time visiting this legendary country, which could even be described as paradise.

"Greetings, Young Master Zhang!"

Long Bo, also extremely skilled, bowed to Zhang Xiaoshan with his hands clasped, his eyes showing surprise.

In six years, they have aged considerably, their hair and temples now white.

The young man before them remained as charming as ever, and even the woman beside him was equally captivating.

Thinking back to what Jue Tong had said, this young master Zhang was not much younger than those martial monks, but at this moment he seemed to be twenty years younger. Could it be that these people from the Central Plains possess divine magic?

"Gentlemen, this is not the place to talk. Please come inside!"

"please!"

The group followed Zhang Xiaoshan into Peach Blossom Island. After walking along a path strewn with fallen petals and blooming flowers, they arrived at an exquisite wooden cabin, the main building of which had been converted into guest rooms by Zhang Xiaoshan.

When the group arrived at the villa on the mountaintop, they were even more amazed.

Even though Jue Tong knew that Zhang Xiaoshan had been living separately from his family after his marriage, he never expected that Zhang Xiaoshan's villa would be so luxurious and unique.

"Everyone, please come in!"

"Um! Young Master Zhang, won't this make your floor dirty?"

Looking at the spotless, cloud-like celadon slabs and the brightly colored blankets, everyone realized that although they had been on the ship for days, their feet had never been dry.

Moreover, after just that down-to-earth walk, I really couldn't bear to defile this 'pure land' with my bare feet.

"You are all distinguished guests who have traveled a long way to come. There is no question of dirtiness."

Moreover, the celadon floor is like a bowl or plate; with just a light swipe of linen, even if someone walks in covered in mud, it's a simple matter of wiping it clean.

Ladies and gentlemen, please!

"please!"

Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan step inside first, everyone stopped being coy and could only say that the prosperity here was dazzling.

The Central Plains were prosperous, and Zhang Xiaoshan's life was even more extravagant.

After everyone was seated, Zhang Xiaoshan first looked at Juetong and suggested:

"I'll help the master seal the true qi of the wedding dress first, and then we'll rest for two days."

Two days later, once the master has recovered to his peak condition, it will not be too late to transfer the power and liberate him.

After all, the power of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill is so overwhelming that once it is passed on, the user will inevitably be exhausted and die.

"Amitabha Buddha, thank you, young master!"

Jue Tong naturally understood everything and realized that if it weren't for Zhang Xiaoshan, Jue Xin would have been killed off on the spot.

Dispersed cultivation can be restarted, but the transmission of cultivation is another matter.

That means transferring all one's essence, energy, and spirit to another; once the oil is used up and the lamp is extinguished, death is inevitable.

Immediately, everyone saw Zhang Xiaoshan behind Juetong using his Pure Yang Finger Force to press on Dazhui, Fengmen, Zhiyang, and so on, directly sealing the True Qi of the Wedding Dress in the meridians, preventing it from continuing to circulate.

This is equivalent to directly sealing Jue Tong's martial arts skills, and there will be no problems for two or three days.

"All right."

"Amitabha Buddha, thank you, young master!"

With his true qi restricted, Jue Tong not only felt much lighter, but also no longer experienced the excruciating pain that felt like being in hell.

"It is thanks to Master Zhang for his hard work over the past six years that this crime has been committed."

"Young master is joking. This is Jue Tong's voluntary ascetic practice."

Only by enduring the bitterest of hardships can one rise above others. This humble monk, however, will surely step into an unparalleled realm after this experience, for it is an opportunity for enlightenment.

However, this humble monk's aptitude is ultimately limited, and he cannot reach the pinnacle of cultivation at this time.

Otherwise, Wu Ming could also have become a peerless master.

"This must be due to the change in environment and climate."

Those members of the Zhang family who had been cultivating in seclusion had basically all entered the ranks of unparalleled masters.

How about this, Master, you stay at the Zhang family's sea base for now, instructing Master Juexiang while recovering your own strength.

"Junior Brother Juexiang has also cultivated the Wedding Dress Divine Skill? That's good, it's been a long time since we brothers have seen each other!"

Previously, Jue Tong and Jue Ming had been stationed in the New World, so they were naturally unaware of Jue Xiang's affairs.

If it weren't for needing Zhang Xiaoshan's protection, I wouldn't have come back so easily.

Unless they pass away one day and return to their roots.

Afterwards, the group dined at the villa and discussed matters concerning the New World. That evening, Jue Tong, Long Bo, Wu Ming, and others were accommodated at a small pavilion in the peach blossom grove, while the rest traveled by large ship to the Zhang family's maritime base.

The cargo carried by this super-large ship, based on the value of spices, jewelry, and medicinal herbs from the Central Plains, exceeded five million gold coins.

There were also some precious ballast items placed on ships that had capsized in a storm at sea.

These are all goods!

"Young master, these are..."

Inside the study, amidst the fragrant smoke of Jiang Xue's red sleeves, a glimpse of Zhang Xiaoshan carefully handling a stone, as if it were some kind of treasure.

"Extraterrestrial meteorite!"

However, it has been exposed to nature for too long; wind and rain have weathered it into stone!

These are all meteorites that fell to the New World.

They would be of little use in the New World, given the nascent state of development; smelting these extraterrestrial meteorites was no simple task. However, they were absolute treasures to the Zhang family.

In addition, Murong Jiu also received a gift from the Ghost Doctor:

Those novel medicinal herbs, deadly poisons, and all sorts of venomous creatures...

The live poisonous creatures alone were packed in a sealed container, just like a shipping container, because if even one escaped, it could be deadly.

In addition to polar bear and Arctic fox pelts, a piece of ancient ice resembling a jade bed, and precious ancient ironwood...

These are not the intended goods; they are all prepared for the Zhang family.

You should know that the fur of polar bears and Arctic foxes can be worth a fortune in a single fox fur cloak.

"So much meteorite iron?"

Looking at the meteorite iron on Zhang Xiaoshan's table, it must weigh at least a thousand kilograms.

This is based on the quality of the stone. If it were entirely made of extraterrestrial meteorite iron, the weight would at least double.

“The iron smelting technology in that area is backward. There are only a few tribes that can smelt bronze, let alone meteorite iron.”

After inspecting all the meteorites, Zhang Xiaoshan categorized them into different grades based on their quality, the feel of infusing them with true qi, and his intuition.

Top-grade meteorite iron can be used to forge unparalleled divine weapons, no less powerful than the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

Ordinary meteorite iron can be mixed with the finest metals to forge a divine sword that can cut through iron like mud.

Besides meteorite iron, Zhang Xiaoshan also had some special products from the New World on hand—

Obsidian Dagger!

It's certainly sharp, but too fragile. Natural acrylic glass is far inferior to the daggers he gave to Hongxiao and Jiangxue for self-defense.

Three mysterious stone eggs, each a foot tall and five inches wide, are sacred objects passed down for thousands of years by a primitive tribe.

According to Jue Tong, this thing has a mysterious and unpredictable magnetic field.

However, they couldn't figure out its specific function, so they gave it to Zhang Xiaoshan to play with.

They knew that Zhang Xiaoshan had an extreme fondness for these strange and unusual things.

A crystal skull, like a work of art.

However, this crystal skull is not only extremely hard, but also causes mental derangement, similar to a state of demonic possession, if stared at for a long time.

At the time, Jueming didn't believe in superstitions and almost fell into demonic possession after staring at it for only half an hour.

Fortunately, the Buddhist Heart Sutra suppressed his mental disorder, and he then spent two years meditating and practicing Zen to completely resolve the aftereffects.

···

Three days later, Jue Tong, having recovered to his peak condition, successfully transmitted his power.

Wu Ming, who was grafted, not only immediately became a half-step peerless master, but also improved his Golden Bell Shield to the tenth level.

The tenth level of the Golden Bell Shield also surprised Wu Ming greatly, to the point that he could hardly believe it.

He originally thought it was just a matter of imparting skills and initiating enlightenment, but he never expected that he could also be taught a martial art like the Golden Bell Shield, which was simply unbelievable.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Wu Ming has cultivated the Golden Bell Shield to an extremely high level.

It should be at least at the sixth level, not to mention that Wuming has already reached the seventh level.

After passing on his skills, he broke through three more barriers.

It should be noted that the Golden Bell Shield of the tenth level is so strong that it is no longer afraid of the attacks of the Obsidian Warriors of the New World.

Even the recoil force could easily shatter those obsidian weapons.

It also possesses near-peerless power, which Jue Tong himself couldn't use before, so no one could imagine how powerful this force was.

Even in Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes, this was already a half-finished product that was not adapted to the local conditions.

But for Wu Ming, after obtaining this power, he felt that he could kill a black bear with one palm and a giant insect with one punch.

Moreover, once Jue Tong recovers his power, he will become a true peerless master.

Chapter 414 Breaking Through and Establishing a New System: The Grandmaster's Voice

"Senior Brother Juetong!"

As the ship slowly approached the base, even Jue Tong was here for the first time.

But they were not unfamiliar with this base, because the monks escorting the goods had come here more than once.

After all, goods from the New World are basically transferred once a year, and this place is a transit point for these goods, which is no secret.

But for Longbo and the others, this was the first time they had ever seen such a sea fortress.

On both sides, there were natural barriers at least ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) high, and on the steep cliffs, there were caves resembling observation posts, giving them a sense of extreme danger.

Upon entering the fortress, the thousands of black iron cavalry patrolling the area, compared to the obsidian warriors of the primitive tribe, were as terrifying as the legendary Grim Reapers, completely encased in a thick layer of armor.

"Junior Brother Juexiang! Junior Brother Juese! Junior Brother Juexin!"

Juexiang was very excited about Juetong's arrival, especially since Juetong had successfully transferred his skills to the Wedding Dress Divine Art.

The situation of the other cultivators is unknown, and they are not close to each other. The Zhang family will not tell Jue Xiang and others about their situation. Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan is always on guard against Jue Xiang.

In their eyes, Juexin was the only one who had successfully cultivated, and now there was another one, Juetong!

Moreover, the supplies on the super-large ship were still being loaded and unloaded at this time.

Even with a huge gantry crane, loading and unloading nearly a million kilograms of goods takes a long time.

Moreover, after unloading, supplies need to be loaded again, which is another massive undertaking, and each project takes at least ten days to half a month.

"How are you feeling now, Senior Brother?"

Seeing Jue Xiang's anxious expression, Jue Tong knew the torment of cultivating the Wedding Dress Divine Skill. He had endured it for six years, so how could he not know Jue Tong's current situation?

If it were an ordinary top expert, they probably wouldn't be able to cultivate for even a year, and would rather die than give up their skills.

"Don't worry, junior brother, I have already started cultivating again."

Although it was only two days, the previous torment was completely gone, and my true energy recovered rapidly. I felt I had complete control over it, without the previous constraints!

Upon hearing Jue Tong's words, Jue Xiang and the other two were overjoyed, for it was indeed true.

"However, the further you cultivate, the more difficult it becomes, and the suicidal thoughts become extremely strong."

However, junior brother can imagine that senior brother Juexin and I, as well as the Zhang family's accomplished masters, will inevitably reach the unparalleled realm once they achieve success. Even among the holy monks of Shaolin throughout history, only one such master has appeared in a hundred years.

Moreover, if the opportunity arises in the future, we may have the chance to reach the supreme realm of Grandmaster.

No pain, no gain!
