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

The Living Buddha's Dzi Bead allows you to maintain absolute clarity without feeling suppressed, so you can unleash your killing intent to your heart's content while still retaining a sliver of reason amidst the carnage!

The Living Buddha Dzi Bead is a treasure of Tibetan Buddhism, which Zhang Xiaoshan forcibly seized from the Potala Palace.

Zhang Xiaoshan's purpose was to see if anyone practiced Central Plains martial arts.

As expected, Kumārajīva did not keep his promise.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan secretly slaughtered the masters of several major Buddhist temples, stole the most precious treasures from each temple, and then vanished without a trace.

This string of Living Buddha dzi beads was strengthened using 10,000 merits!

"And Master, this is a gift that I, Zhang, have prepared for you—the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, a secret art of Tantric Buddhism!"

This technique might be a burden to others, but for a master, it's an unparalleled skill, like adding wings to a tiger.

Esoteric Buddhist Dharma Protector's Ultimate Skill - Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill!

Xingyin took the parchment scroll and began to read it with curiosity. Even just the outline was enough to make his blood boil.

Chapter 453 The Return of the Treasure Trove and the Chaos

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill is an unparalleled secret technique of Tantric Buddhism, with the highest level possessing the power of thirteen dragons and thirteen elephants!

However, this martial art is not only extremely time-consuming to master, but also incredibly dangerous. After reaching the sixth level, one is prone to qi deviation and demonic possession. In hundreds of years, only one master has reached the ninth level, and he died from qi deviation on the very day he attained it!

But this is nothing to Xingyin, who is at the Grandmaster level.

As for the time it takes?

For someone who is only cultivating at a slow pace, Xingyin's current level of martial arts and true qi cultivation makes this martial art extremely easy to master.

The only uncertainty is the latter three levels, which no one has ever cultivated before.

"Thank you for your help, young master!"

Xingyin was extremely satisfied with this martial art.

The ninth level is the pinnacle, and the tenth level is enough to fight the four great masters of the Divine Condor, or at least be at the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm, not to mention the eleventh and twelfth levels.

In Xingyin's eyes, the thirteenth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm is the Grandmaster realm.

A martial art that can be cultivated to the level of a grandmaster is incredibly precious.

Especially since he currently possesses overwhelming divine power that he cannot fully utilize, cultivating this unique skill would be like adding wings to a tiger.

“Cultivating this martial art is extremely dangerous. I am not worried about the master’s cultivation level below the tenth level.”

However, no one has ever cultivated to the tenth level or above. Master, please wait for my message; I will then pass on my cultivation insights to you.

"Thank you, sir!"

Xingyin naturally knew the domineering nature of this martial art. Before the ninth level, only one person had ever mastered it, and that person died from qi deviation on the same day. Not to mention the tenth level and beyond.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan also intended to cultivate this unique skill.

To others, Zhang Xiaoshan is a refined gentleman, but his true nature is clear: Zhang Xiaoshan's Nine Cauldrons Divine Skill and Divine Power far surpass his own.

"In that case, Master, please stay here and wait for Duan Yanqing to come and meet you."

"Please rest assured, young master!"

Xuan Nu watched Zhang Xiaoshan's retreating figure and knew that she was unfamiliar with the place and the people there. The only person who could truly decide her fate was the powerful figure before her.

As Zhang Xiaoshan left, Lei Laowu handed him the three most valuable treasures from the treasure trove—

A crown inlaid with rubies the size of an adult's fist, a sword that looks like it's made of pure gold and can cut through iron like mud, and a battle robe woven from silkworm silk.

In addition, there are several volumes of handwritten manuscripts in foreign languages.

These items were all discovered inside the treasure trove, and although they were of even greater value, no one cared about them.

Firstly, Zhang Xiaoshan played a crucial role this time. Without Zhang Xiaoshan's ingenious design, they would never have been able to unearth the treasure hidden beneath the yellow sand.

Secondly, given Zhang Xiaoshan's status, he wouldn't be interested in gold; naturally, only these rare and precious treasures would catch his eye.

The strong rule, and they had no bargaining power with Zhang Xiaoshan.

With Zhang Xiaoshan gone, Xingyin immersed herself in the cultivation of the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Both the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Wedding Dress True Qi have their advantages, but Xingyin prefers the Wedding Dress Divine Skill.

Because the Wedding Dress Divine Skill has a self-destructive tendency, it allows for rapid improvement, followed by destruction and reconstruction, which is an immense opportunity.

However, this martial art requires absolute perseverance and an incredibly strong mind to master.

On the contrary, the Nine Yang Divine Skill is a pure Taoist and Buddhist divine skill.

Moreover, upon turning to the end, Xingyin discovered another finger technique, which was Zhang Xiaoshan's famous Pure Yang Finger.

For a moment, a sense of curiosity arose in my heart!

Zhang Xiaoshan, what a wonderful gift! Even the Nine Yang Divine Skill is not as shocking as the Pure Yang Finger.

However, after only seeing the Pure Yang Finger once, Xingyin couldn't help but shake her head.

Without the pure Yang foundation of Taoism, this finger technique is at best a peerless martial art.

This martial art requires cultivation in conjunction with the Pure Yang Limitless Skill, as they complement each other and help to solidify one's Taoist foundation. Moreover, the purer the Pure Yang True Qi, the more powerful it becomes.

But this unique skill is also very powerful. Compared to the Formless Finger and the Vajra Finger, this finger technique is an upgraded version of the One Yang Finger and the Six Meridians Divine Sword, so Xingyin would naturally not dislike it.

After all, the Pure Yang Limitless Skill is the core inheritance of the Zhang family, and it is definitely not inferior to the Wedding Dress True Qi.

···

"arrive!"

The next morning, the Mystic Maiden, who was wrapped around Zhang Xiaoshan's waist, had already arrived in the capital.

It is merely a pair of dragon wings that can glide. If one has sufficient true qi and unleashes their speed, one can travel ten thousand miles in a day.

Even if he brings someone along, it's not a burden for Zhang Xiaoshan.

Having witnessed the speed of the Dragon Wing, Xuan Nu couldn't help but complain that Zhang Xiaoshan would rather eat sand for a month than reveal the Dragon Wing, this divine artifact.

However, thinking of Zhang Xiaoshan and Princess Taiping whispering intimately in the desert, he has wolfish ambitions!

For a moment, she felt like a lamb entering a tiger's den.

Zhang Family Villa!

As Zhang Xiaoshan led the mysterious woman, whose expression was filled with curiosity, into the hall, the group of confidantes who had been waiting for a long time looked at the mysterious woman that Zhang Xiaoshan had brought. After nearly three months, Zhang Xiaoshan had returned and brought back another stunning beauty.

It should be noted that the villa was almost full of female tenants at this time.

In the ensuing tense atmosphere, Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Human nature is greedy, and he was no exception.

Rare treasures, divine medicines, stunning beauties... It can be said that behind Zhang Xiaoshan's seemingly generous and benevolent facade, he was far more greedy.

But once he reaches a certain level, what he wants changes.

In the stage of basic needs being met, money is of utmost importance; in the stage of vying for supremacy, strength is the foundation; and when one reigns supreme over the land, naturally everything must be the best.

"Alright, Hongxiao, prepare a guest room for Miss Xuannu."

As for the Mysterious Maiden, she was once a general under the Queen Mother of the West, and is also the goddess revered in many places today—the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, who has just awakened from a two-thousand-year slumber.

Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden?

Upon hearing about Xuan Nu's identity and background, Huang Rong, Murong Jiu, and Master Mingchen were all deeply shaken.

The stunningly beautiful woman before them, who appeared aloof and cold, was actually an ancient monster who had lived for two thousand years, and was also the legendary Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, a disciple of the Queen Mother of the West.

For a moment, Huang Rong couldn't help but look at Zhang Xiaoshan with suspicion.

After all, Zhang Xiaoshan brings back any woman and calls her the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden; next time, will she be the resurrected Queen Mother of the West?

"Miss Xuan Nu is a Grandmaster, and her true Qi is extremely Yin and cold."

Moreover, this trip to the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West involved the cooperation of the four tomb-raiding factions and the imperial princess, and the birth of the Mysterious Woman was witnessed by everyone.

As for why I brought her back, it's because the Xuan Nu girl has awakened from being frozen for two thousand years. Whether there are any aftereffects still needs to be observed, which is why I sent Master Xingyin to escort her.

Otherwise, would a mere few million taels of gold require the deployment of a Grandmaster?

"I see!"

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation, the women immediately looked at Xuan Nu with expressions of shock.

Leaving aside the fact that he was a grandmaster from two thousand years ago, it would be truly astonishing if he had actually awakened from two thousand years of ice.

"Alright, let Miss Xuan Nu rest first. As for Miss Xuan Nu's health, Jiu'er will diagnose her later!"

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan took out some things from behind his back, which were gifts he had brought from Tibet.

After all, one cannot leave empty-handed after entering a treasure mountain!

After massacring several temples in Tibet, Zhang Xiaoshan went to the Potala Palace. Although he did not kill anyone, he took several esoteric Buddhist treasures with him.

"Rong'er, this is for you."

The jade is the legendary "transformed jade," which is formed from Hetian blood jade and appears to be stained with blood when placed in water.

The incense ball was one of Princess Wencheng's favorite dowry items—the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Ball. Combined with the finest incense, it not only possessed numerous miraculous effects but also left one with a pervasive fragrance.

Zhang Xiaoshan waved his hand and tossed a piece of red jade pebble and a fist-sized incense ball to Huang Rong.

There are fewer than three pieces of jade that have undergone rebirth throughout the nine provinces of China. One of them was part of Princess Wencheng's dowry and is enshrined in front of Princess Wencheng's statue.

As for Linglong Xunqiu, her initial indignation vanished instantly, and she happily accepted the priceless jade before her.

“Master Mingchen, this is the image of Padmasambhava from the Western Regions Tantric Buddhism, and these are also several volumes of supreme Buddhist scriptures. I obtained them from the Potala Palace!”

"Purada Palace? Jadeite, incense balls? Did the young master go to Tibet?"

The women weren't stupid; they immediately realized that Zhang Xiaoshan hadn't done anything good in Tibet when he took out these things.

"After leaving Kunlun, I had nothing to do, so I went to Tibet to see if Kumārajīva had fulfilled his promise from back then."

He happened to see a group of Tibetan monks practicing martial arts from the Central Plains, so he casually slaughtered several Tantric temples and went to the Potala Palace.

Hiss...

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation, the women immediately understood that Zhang Xiaoshan spoke so casually; it seemed that things were already in complete chaos in Tibet.

After all, the Tibetan temples that Zhang Xiaoshan mentioned were not ordinary temples; they were ancient temples of several major Tantric sects, which were the spiritual heart of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism and also places where military power was concentrated.

The warrior monks were all monks from these large temples.

Only in such a place would Zhang Xiaoshan take action to erase the traces of Central Plains martial arts.

Moreover, the items taken from the Potala Palace are not simple.

At least the items they possessed were the most prized treasures of the various halls in the Potala Palace.

Moreover, they didn't believe that Zhang Xiaoshan had only taken these 'useless' things. Given Zhang Xiaoshan's greed, he would definitely take the most precious and valuable treasures of the Potala Palace.

"Jiu'er, the Five Poisons given to you are all the kings of all poisons!"

He threw the fish skin bag to Murong Jiu, and the women nearby quickly hid a few feet away.

Even Li Mochou, a master of the Five Poisons, couldn't believe her eyes when she looked at the fish-skin bag; she was filled with shock and horror.

"Sister Feng, this is a thousand-year-old snow lotus from the Great Snow Mountain. Keep one petal for later use, and give the rest to Sheng'er to eat. It will make her immune to all poisons!"

There's also a Thousand-Year Ice Silkworm prepared for you, which can help you refine your Northern Darkness True Qi into an extremely cold and yin attribute, and it's incomparably domineering.

Chapter 454 Blood Jade Scimitar and Living Buddha Relic

Thousand-year-old snow lotus!

Thousand-year-old ice silkworm!

Looking at the two treasures Zhang Xiaoshan took out, the women could imagine that Zhang Xiaoshan had definitely overturned the ancestral graves of Tibet.

The miraculous effects of Tian Shan snow lotus are known throughout China!

However, the thousand-year-old snow lotus on the Great Snow Mountain is also a rare treasure of the Nine Provinces. The name "thousand-year-old snow lotus" speaks volumes.

The same goes for the Thousand-Year Ice Silkworm, the king of all poisons. The reason Zhang Xiaoshan let Shopkeeper Feng absorb the Thousand-Poison Ice Silkworm was that after the Ice Silkworm's poison was removed, its domineering ice attribute could make her internal strength surge and her power be refined to the extreme!

"Hongxiao, Jiangxue, Shana, Tina, this is a gift for you—four nine-eyed dzi beads!"
