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

He first went to Kunlun Mountain and placed the evil dragon in a mysterious cave near his destination before turning around and arriving at Yumen Pass.

The evil dragon is an incredibly powerful, monstrous, modified creature.

With the Dragon Balls enhancing his body, traveling thousands or even three thousand miles a day would be a piece of cake, if not ten thousand miles a day!

Moreover, even in desolate mountains and wilderness, the monstrous dragon's enormous body moved as if on flat ground.

Therefore, in less than half a month, Zhang Xiaoshan arrived at the final location.

The location of the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West!

However, Zhang Xiaoshan did not approach, because there were still many dangers here. If he cleared away the obstacles directly, it would inevitably make people realize that someone had gotten there first.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan found a mysterious and huge underground cave (bjca) nearby.

Given the unfathomable length of the cave and the echoes of flowing water underground, Zhang Xiaoshan sent the evil dragon to explore it first, while he returned to Yumen Pass.

Dragon Inn!

This is one of the few inns outside the Great Wall, where the endless sandstorms are like flashing swords.

Without sufficient preparation, one will surely die in the desert.

Therefore, this place is also an important supply station for many caravans. It is bustling and noisy. Although there are not many places to spend money here, the money earned is like a flowing river.

"Son!"

When Zhang Xiaoshan arrived at the inn, the people at the tables who were drinking all stood up.

This scene took most people by surprise.

However, upon seeing the newcomer, most people were surprised, as they hadn't expected him to be a "pretty boy." Considering the title "young master," it was all too obvious.

Either rich or noble!

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the group and nodded.

These people were naturally the vanguard that came to scout ahead, the four factions of tomb raiders led by Lei Laowu.

They had all seen Zhang Xiaoshan more or less in Ghost Street, and now that even Zhang Xiaoshan had come out, they were all full of anticipation.

The Four Captains of the Tomb Raiders – Dragon Fang, Vermilion Bird, Black Water, and Golden Tiger; the Mountain Moving Taoists – Dragon Slayer and Spirit Ape; and the Leader of the Unloading Ridge – Chen Jiushan and the Thirteen Protectors.

"Sit down, don't be shy."

"Yes, son!"

Zhang Xiaoshan walked towards Lei Laowu's table—Lei Laowu, Chen Jiushan, Tulong Daoren, and Lingyuan Daoren.

Upon seeing Zhang Xiaoshan arrive, everyone quickly made way for him.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan waved his hand and pieced together the empty tables around him.

Zhang Xiaoshan sat in the first seat, while the other four sat on either side.

Seeing this, everyone around was curious about Zhang Xiaoshan's identity.

After all, the sudden arrival of such a prominent figure in this remote region is no small matter.

Moreover, the people under Zhang Xiaoshan are even more extraordinary. The Four Captains of the Tomb Raiders or the Thirteen Protectors of the Unloading Ridge are all top-notch masters in the martial arts world, or those who have mastered the art of physical combat.

Moreover, those who can sit at the table are at least top-tier experts.

"Boss, bring me a whole roasted lamb, and all your signature dishes!"

"okay!"

With a clear, alluring, and magnetic voice, Zhang Xiaoshan glanced at the beautiful shopkeeper who was sizing him up and nodded indifferently.

Gold inlaid with jade!

It seems the real show hasn't even started yet, but Zhang Xiaoshan isn't interested in Zhou Huai'an.

However, given Zhu Wushi's current advantage of having the assistance of the two major demonic sects, he will probably act soon. However, he will not act personally, but will instead use eunuchs to do so.

Using someone else to do the dirty work was a simple matter for Zhu Wushi, given his cunning and abilities.

And in the end, he still managed to maintain a good reputation.

"Are you all ready?"

"Rest assured, young master, everything is prepared, however..."

"anymore question?"

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Lei Laowu, and he had no doubt about Lei Laowu's ability in tomb raiding.

They had not yet reached their destination, but Lei Laowu seemed to have already encountered a problem.

'It's not a problem, it's just some precautions that you mentioned, young master.'

The items prepared by Ghost Street are all top-tier compared to before, but they still probably won't meet the young master's requirements!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan frowned immediately.

The other three looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and Lei Laowu with twitching lips.

They thoroughly inspected the equipment, all of which were absolute super weapons to them: military shovels, Vajra umbrellas, Flying Dragon Claws...

It can be said that they love everything they see.

Needless to say, the quality is exceptional. Even if a product made by a top master is only used for half a month, it is still far superior to their previous products in terms of both ingenious design and load-bearing capacity.

But now Lei Laowu and Zhang Xiaoshan are even complaining about the quality of the goods.

"It seems that time was still too rushed."

"Well, just make do with it for now. If it breaks, you can get Uncle Gui to customize it yourselves."

"Young Master is joking."

That's a fine piece made of wrought iron; it's absolutely priceless and unavailable on the market.

But in Zhang Xiaoshan and Lei Laowu's eyes, they were completely inferior.

"Young master, our signature dish—crispy roasted whole lamb—would you like it sliced?"

"Cut it."

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded. He could tell that the other person's knife skills were quite good; he must be one of the masters who mastered the art of butchering an ox.

With a dazzling display of skillful butchering, not only was the crispy skin perfectly removed from the roasted whole lamb, but the entire lamb was also divided into evenly sized pieces according to the proportions of its various parts.

“Great swordsmanship!!”

Even though it wasn't the first time everyone had seen it, they were still extremely amazed.

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded and picked up a crispy piece of pastry, putting it in his mouth.

The crisp, sweet, and fragrant crust is an unforgettable delicacy, making it one of the most exquisite foods.

In particular, the butcher's knife skills, like those of a master butcher, preserve the crispy skin as much as possible.

"A rare delicacy."

"Yes, this small inn is full of hidden talents. If it weren't a shady inn, it would be the best place."

Lei Laowu showed a hint of regret.

Even if everyone else is just average, the stuff itself is good, especially the butcher's skill in dissecting an ox, which is unparalleled in the world.

Unfortunately, he wasn't a good person!

They had stayed at this inn for five or six days, so they were very clear about the situation here; it was just a shady inn.

"A black market inn? Your place is the black market inn! This is the Dragon Gate Inn, where we do business honestly and fairly, young and old!"

She kept a close eye on the gold-inlaid jade here, and upon hearing the group's discussion, she immediately scolded them.

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention, or rather, they disregarded it.

They were involved in organized crime and had heard of the Dragon Gate Inn, so how could they not know about it?

In particular, the Dragon Slayer and the Spirit Ape Taoist had traveled to the Western Regions more than once or twice, and the Dragon Gate Inn was notorious for its notorious reputation as a black-market establishment.

"Please don't be offended, shopkeeper. My friend just spoke without thinking. Here's the money for today's meal, and consider the rest as an apology!"

Zhang Xiaoshan bowed respectfully, and at the same time, a beam of red light shot out from his hand.

Jin Xiangyu initially thought it was a hidden weapon, but after taking it, she looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief.

This is a ruby ​​about the size of a cat's eye. Although it is not a top-grade piece, it is more than worth tens of dollars. Moreover, such a beautiful ruby ​​would be even more irresistible if set in gold.

"Never mind, never mind, what can I do, Jin Xiangyu is so magnanimous. Young master, please say whatever you want."

Chapter 434 The Treasure Buried in the Desert: The Role of the Golden Dragon Pearl

"What a generous young master from a prominent family!"

Looking at the ruby ​​in my hand, I know the value of a ruby ​​is self-evident. Although it's not the largest, it's still a rare gem.

Given Zhang Xiaoshan's generous nature, even Jin Xiangyu couldn't help but secretly speculate about Zhang Xiaoshan's identity.

You should know that the wealthy people who come and go here are either merchants or desperate criminals.

Such a large-scale investment is not something a simple tycoon can do.

"Shopkeeper, these people are all martial arts masters from the Central Plains. Are they on their way to the Western Regions to search for treasure?"

Treasure hunting?

Although the sand was full of gold, it also buried countless corpses. Which young master was so generous? He didn't seem like someone who was short of money.

"Who says it has to be gold?"

The awe these people showed towards that young master wasn't just due to his status, but also their restraint. He must be a master of the martial arts world, and a top-tier one at that.

Such people don't seek gold in the Western Regions, but rather—rare and exotic treasures.

Upon hearing this, Jin Xiangyu's eyes flickered thoughtfully.

"Shopkeeper, don't even think about messing with them. They're all experts, seasoned veterans of the martial arts world."

When you were angry just now, those people looked at us with disdain, clearly not taking us seriously.

Either they don't know about our Dragon Gate Inn, or they're so skilled and daring that they don't take us seriously? But based on my observations over the past few days, these people are all seasoned veterans of the martial arts world, so the latter is highly likely.

Moreover, shopkeeper, look at that young master. His demeanor is composed; he's no ordinary person. He's probably from a prominent family, and we shouldn't offend him!

Upon hearing this, Jin Xiangyu frowned slightly.

An old house where a treasure.

The old man who did the accounting was a senior figure whom Jin Xiangyu trusted greatly, and also a seasoned veteran.

A pair of seemingly cloudy eyes, but in reality, they have seen all aspects of life and can see the general picture at a glance.

···

"Young master, aren't you staying at the inn? The desert winds at night can be deadly."

As the sun set, Jin Xiangyu looked at Zhang Xiaoshan, who was about to leave, and immediately smiled charmingly as she walked over.

"No need, Zhang is waiting for someone."

Zhang Xiaoshan glanced at Jin Xiangyu, then turned and left the Dragon Gate Inn.

The person Zhang Xiaoshan was waiting for was none other than Donghuang Taiyi, the Grand Master of the Later Tang Empire.

However, the answer is vague.

Waiting is happening at the Dragon Gate Inn, and it's also happening in the desert, where the desert is boundless and the waiting is filled with bitter winds and cold.

Jin Xiangyu watched Zhang Xiaoshan's departing figure, wanting to speak up and ask him to stay, but found that Zhang Xiaoshan's steps seemed very slow, but in fact he was very fast, and in the blink of an eye he had already reached ten zhang away.

Suddenly, a gust of yellow sand swept by, and Zhang Xiaoshan had disappeared from Jin Xiangyu's sight.

"What the hell?"

Jin Xiangyu rubbed her big eyes, looking at the spot where the yellow sand had just swept by, where not even a trace had been left.

"Could it really be a ghost?"

"It's not a ghost, it's someone you can't afford to offend."

Manager, there are some people you shouldn't mess with. You and your staff should behave yourselves. We'll be leaving in the next few days and don't want any other accidents to happen.
