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

Chapter 494 Mixed Spiritual Power and Combined Spiritual Cultivation

Although the "Demon Seed of the Dao Heart" technique is a demonic art, it ultimately leads to the same goal: the Great Dao of Heaven and Man.

Therefore, during Zhang Xiaoshan's joint cultivation with Princess Taiping, their true qi intertwined. Not only did the two streams of true qi, yin and yang, gradually merge, but their powerful spiritual energy also entered a state of unity with heaven and man under the influence of the two streams of true qi, which were of the highest yin and highest yang.

Zhang Xiaoshan is at the eleventh level of the Pure Yang Limitless Skill – the realm of primordial spirit leaving the body!

Even compared to Princess Taiping, who cultivated the Dao Heart Demon Seed, her spiritual power was in no way weaker.

Moreover, it is more resilient and gentle.

Like a ray of sunshine, it warms you but is not scorching.

This is also because the Pure Yang Limitless Skill is so refined that it is comparable to immortal cultivation techniques!

However, Princess Taiping's spiritual power was different. It was as turbulent as a rushing river, not only extremely unstable, but also containing impurities that were clearly the spiritual power of the Queen Mother of the West.

Like a polluted river, Princess Taiping had just broken through to the next level and didn't yet realize what was happening.

Once it becomes so polluted that it is beyond redemption, that is when it becomes mentally deranged.

This is one of the drawbacks of cultivating the Dao and planting demons in one's heart.

However, since the problem was discovered in time, and Zhang Xiaoshan's mental strength was absolutely immune to these impurities, he didn't have to worry about other issues.

call!

An hour later, Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the sleeping Princess Taiping and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

As expected, the initiation by the Queen Mother of the West was not a good thing; it was entirely aimed at destruction.

If Zhang Xiaoshan hadn't discovered it in time, the destructive power of Princess Taiping once the two had fully merged would have been unimaginable.

The claim that turning evil makes you three times stronger is absolutely not an exaggeration.

The Grandmaster's strength has tripled, making him qualified to perish together with Zhang Xiaoshan.

However, it has now turned into a good thing.

After this "joint cultivation", many of the "gods" empowered by the Queen Mother of the West were purified by Zhang Xiaoshan and transformed into the spiritual power of Zhang Xiaoshan and Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping was unable to process the information immediately, which is why she fell into a deep sleep.

This is a very nutritious food!

"Ok!"

After an unknown amount of time, Princess Taiping slowly woke up and, sensing Zhang Xiaoshan's presence, blushed with embarrassment.

I never expected it to be this bad!

"How does the princess feel? Your cultivation has improved considerably during this joint practice!"

Zhang Xiaoshan did not point out the 'divine' aspect of the Queen Mother of the West's empowerment; it was best that Princess Taiping did not know this.

Princess Taiping's expression changed upon hearing this.

As the Demon Seed in the Dao Heart began to circulate, a pair of charming and affectionate eyes looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief.

Her power to cultivate demonic powers within her Dao heart had actually increased by more than thirty percent.

Thirty percent? That's thirty percent!

Reaching the Grandmaster level requires at least three years of cultivation, and that's assuming the cultivation doesn't stagnate.

"Is this real? Or am I dreaming?"

Lying in that suffocating embrace, Princess Taiping felt as if she were dreaming.

"Of course it's true!!"

Zhang Xiaoshan suddenly turned over and, amidst Princess Taiping's shame and anger, pressed himself against her again.

···

The two felt that it was about time, so they got up and tidied their clothes.

At this moment, Princess Taiping accepted reality, and with endless tenderness in her phoenix eyes, she wished she could devour Zhang Xiaoshan whole.

It should be known that a single joint cultivation session can increase one's strength by 30%, which is comparable to the flesh of Tang Sanzang.

Moreover, after practicing together, not only does one's skill level increase dramatically, but one's control over mental energy also improves.

Previously, Zhang Xiaoshan could have seen through her strength at a glance.

Now that they are deliberately concealing their abilities, Zhang Xiaoshan won't be able to spot their flaws for a while. With such an improvement, how could Princess Taiping possibly let go of Zhang Xiaoshan, this piece of Tang Monk's flesh?

However, Zhang Xiaoshan made an agreement with Princess Taiping to cultivate together once every ten days, giving Princess Taiping ten days to adapt to and integrate with his surging spiritual power.

Even Zhang Xiaoshan needed three days to control his growing mental power.

"Humph!"

Upon returning to the villa, they were immediately met with Huang Rong's dissatisfaction.

After such a long time since she returned, she knew without a doubt that Zhang Xiaoshan had been having an affair with Princess Taiping.

The others also looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with a hint of resentment.

"Have all the orphaned girls been taken care of?"

"It's all arranged, and several suitable maids have been left behind."

After saying that, Huang Rong called out a group of female servants who had stayed behind.

These women are all exceptionally talented. With Zhang Xiaoshan's guidance and the Zhang family's resources, becoming top-tier experts is a certainty.

"This wave is not a loss!"

Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes lit up as he looked at the rows of female servants in the hall.

The eight female servants before me were all stunningly beautiful women of unparalleled grace and charm.

In later generations, she would at least be a top-tier actress, let alone without any cultivation.

Once you master a divine skill, both your appearance and temperament will undergo a transformation.

Why are demonic witches and celestial saintesses able to captivate the world?

It is the sublimation of their temperament brought about by cultivating top-level divine skills, and the ice-like skin and jade-like bones nourished by true qi, that makes their appearance more attractive, like a demon woman from purgatory or a fairy descended to earth.

Of these eight female servants, three were from respectable families, meaning they were still virgins.

They may be charming and delicate, or aloof and elegant, or a secluded orchid in a secluded valley.

The five women were concubines and wives after their virginity was defiled; some were alluring and seductive, some delicate and graceful, and some dignified and gentle...

At this moment, seeing the light in Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes, the women lowered their heads shyly.

If Huang Rong hadn't explained the reason in the afternoon, and hadn't revealed the martial arts they would be practicing later, Mingyu Gong (for virgins) and Xiaowuxiang Gong (for women), they would have thought they had entered another 'wolf's den'.

Moreover, they also know that people with such good qualifications as themselves are one in a million.

Perhaps it was a favor from heaven, but more than 300 of them out of a thousand possessed quite good cultivation aptitude, making them worthy of the Zhang family's nurturing.

"Let me state this first:"

Now that you have changed your identities and entered the Zhang family, you are now Zhang family servants and will no longer have any other identity outside.

In the future, I will guide you in your cultivation, provide you with cultivation resources, and strive to help you reach the pinnacle of cultivation and become superior beings within ten years.

Similarly, the Zhang family does not support useless people.

If you cannot reach the pinnacle within ten years, you will be assigned to the Yingbin Building to serve as the leader of the Twelve Music Band or other positions, and you will not be treated unfairly.

In the Zhang family, power equals status!

"Yes!"

The women's expressions immediately changed; they hadn't expected there to be a ten-year deadline.

And the ultimate realm?

Based on their previous understanding, they already knew that he was a highly skilled master who could move swiftly and freely in the martial arts world.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, joining the imperial court could directly lead to becoming a military officer of the fifth rank or above, a position of great importance, and someone who could control the life and death of others.

The other piece of news was about the martial arts they practiced.

Once you break through to the pinnacle, you can not only become a superior person, but also stay young forever.

As long as one doesn't lose their inner strength, they won't grow old.

"Rong'er, prepare a pool of clean water so they can cultivate in the bath tonight!"

After Zhang Xiaoshan finished speaking, he saw Huang Rong with a murderous look on her face. Even the female servants blushed to the roots of their necks and lowered their heads without saying a word.

"What are you thinking? I had them cultivate in the bath to simulate the effect of the Ice Jade Bed."

"Hmph, why didn't you say so earlier!"

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation, Huang Rong gave a soft snort and rolled her eyes at him.

However, Huang Rong still followed Zhang Xiaoshan's instructions and prepared a pool of clear water, knowing the cultivation effects of the Cold Jade Bed.

If Zhang Xiaoshan's pure Yin Qi can truly achieve the same cultivation effect as the Cold Jade Bed, the time it takes for these female servants to break through to the pinnacle realm can be shortened by at least three years, a truly remarkable achievement.

... ..... ...

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation, a hint of disappointment flashed deep in the eyes of the women.

As concubines or wives of powerful families, they naturally hoped to attach themselves to the strong.

If one could gain Zhang Xiaoshan's favor, not only would one have a higher status, but one's resources would also be greater than those of others.

Soon, the waitresses were stunned.

The swimming pool, which could originally accommodate ten people playing, began to slowly condense into ice the instant Zhang Xiaoshan pointed his finger into the water, centered on his finger, which greatly surprised the women.

It's similar to the Black and White Pawns' Mysterious Finger, but the effects are worlds apart.

Zhang Xiaoshan not only froze a pool of clear water, but the frozen water was also absolute zero ice, not ordinary ice.

"Alright, you'll all sleep here tonight."

I won't say that I'm mistreating you, but if you want to stay here, you have to cultivate diligently. Only by enduring hardship can you rise above others. I think you all know this principle.

And this mysterious ice that simulates the Jade Bed can accelerate the circulation of your true qi, allowing you to advance to the pinnacle realm at least three years earlier.

Moreover, such a pool of mysterious ice will consume a significant amount of my true qi.

"Thank you, sir!"

Upon hearing this, the women understood Zhang Xiaoshan's good intentions.

However, knowing it was a good thing was one thing, but going up to challenge it was another. The female servants only touched the Xuanbing with their hands and felt their fingers become numb from the cold.

"Alright, go up and lie down, and circulate the Nine Yin Internal Force that was given to you on the ship."

"But...it's too cold!"

"Alright, Rong'er, I'll leave it to you."

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the women and decided not to get involved in the matter.

Because he was worried that he wouldn't be able to resist the temptation.

After all, with a group of stunning beauties around him, speaking sweetly and coquettishly, any man would make a mistake. It would be better to leave it to his mistress, Huang Rong.

In this way, the man is responsible for external affairs and the woman for internal affairs, with a clear division of labor.

The next morning, Zhang Xiaoshan woke up to find a group of stunningly beautiful women lying in the hall.

There is clearly more air intake and less air output.

Meanwhile, Huang Rong looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with a pleading expression, saying that her reckless actions last night had almost resulted in a death.

"You're just messing around!"

Zhang Xiaoshan glanced helplessly at Huang Rong, then flicked several strands of pure yang finger energy into the Tanzhong acupoints of the female servants.

For Zhang Xiaoshan, the cold entering his body was a minor matter.
