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

Chapter 865 The Newborn Gu King

"Good heavens, at least a hundred years of true qi."

"Little girl, have you been sleeping with this little white tiger these days?"

At this time, the White Tiger's mind was still weak and it could not operate the Tiger God Technique on its own.

Therefore, unless stimulated by external forces, this white tiger cub could not possibly activate the Tiger God Technique on its own.

However, this white tiger cub now possesses at least a hundred years' worth of true qi. Besides the medicinal power of the Bodhi Ganoderma lucidum fruit, the most important factor is the operation of the Tiger God Technique, which completely transforms the medicinal power into the true qi of its own Tiger God Technique.

At this moment, the white tiger cub's strength was at least equivalent to that of a peerless master.

If he were to reach adulthood, he might not be inferior to a Grandmaster.

After all, the White Tiger's physique is already extremely powerful, and with the support of its incredibly strong true qi, a single tiger claw strike can shatter gold and break jade; even a peak-level cultivator cannot withstand a single claw strike.

Moreover, tiger claws are sharp; the claws of an adult tiger are no less powerful than divine weapons.

"810 Office"

"Dad, the big cat is very clean, and it's very comfortable to hold!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the white tiger's top-quality, smooth fur and its clean and tidy appearance, and nodded in approval.

At his level, the cleanliness and tidiness he sees are not merely superficial.

Even if a flea hides deep inside, it cannot escape Zhang Xiaoshan's perception. Moreover, the White Tiger possesses a century's worth of true qi, and with just a shake, no flea can survive.

"That's good. The stronger this little guy is, the better he can protect your safety."

However, it is crucial, under no circumstances, that this little guy should be allowed to bleed.

"Got it, Dad!"

The little girl knew Zhang Xiaoshan's worries, and under Master Mingchen's guidance, she also knew that she should not kill easily.

Cooked food is cooked food, but Taoist priests also eat "three kinds of pure meat" (meat that is neither killed nor kept in the wild).

Therefore, she also abhors killing, but when the time comes, she will not hesitate to act.

Besides, with the White Tiger around, most people wouldn't dare to provoke her.

"My husband (young master)!"

At this moment, the women, now dressed in skirts, came before Zhang Xiaoshan and looked at the white tiger at his feet with extreme envy.

Knowing about the White Tiger's extraordinary destiny, Zhang Xiaoshan even created a Tiger God Technique for it, a privilege that no other mythical beast received.

At this moment, the true qi of this white tiger cub was actually a hundred years old.

A truly peerless tiger!

"Rong'er, get ready. We're heading to the border region in three days to prepare for Sheng'er's wedding!"

"understood."

Although the land beyond the Great Wall was considered a harsh and cold place by most people, Huang Rong knew how wealthy it was.

Black soil, mineral resources, forest resources... these can be considered the Zhang family's important base for the next three years. The gold they have invested has already exceeded ten million, and Zhang Xiaoshan is still adding more.

The region beyond the Great Wall was in turmoil, and the central dynasty was unstable.

It can be said that the complete stabilization of the area outside the Great Wall was extremely important to the rule of the Central Plains dynasties.

In particular, Goguryeo and Japan were completely Sinicized and ruled by Sinicized peoples. After that, there were no more small countries like Japan and Goguryeo, only ethnic minorities such as Koreans and Yamato people!

“Miss Linglong, this is your Gu worm, which has fully advanced to the level of Gu King.”

Moreover, the benefits gained from this snake gu are even greater than those from the Golden Silkworm Gu King. I hope you will cherish it well and refrain from any murderous intent unless absolutely necessary.

This Gu worm is now like a newborn, having begun to develop intelligence.

If used to kill, it will inevitably become bloodthirsty and vicious; conversely, if used for other purposes, it will become more than just a tool for killing.

Zhang Xiaoshan took out the Dragon Pearl, and on it crawled a three-inch-long, jade-like worm, exceptionally beautiful.

It completely fails to reveal the disgusting and frightening aspect of snake venom.

"this···"

Seeing that the snake gu had shrunk by more than half in just four days, even the witch Linglong couldn't believe it.

What she found even more unbelievable was that the aura emanating from the snake venom was completely devoid of its former ferocity; it was like a precious work of art, lying there quietly.

How is Gu (a type of poison) made?

That involves placing countless poisonous insects together, and only the one that survives becomes a deadly poisonous Gu that kills without drawing blood.

Now, this poisonous insect has undergone a transformation like "laying down the butcher's knife and instantly becoming a Buddha," turning directly into a "little white rabbit," which is truly unbelievable to her.

What shocked her even more was Zhang Xiaoshan's statement that the poisonous insect had developed sentience.

"Miss Linglong, why don't you try dripping a drop of your own blood?!"

"Oh? Okay!"

The shrine maiden, Linglong, had been waiting for this moment, but instead, she cut her delicate, jade-like fingertips.

As the blood was consumed by the snake worm, a faint connection gradually emerged, and the witch Linglong realized that this was the snake worm she had previously possessed.

This kind of connection is one of cultivating both body and spirit, though it doesn't reach the point of sharing life and death...

But after decades of support and familiarity, they can be said to be like family.

"Go!"

Still somewhat reluctant to part with the snake gu, Zhang Xiaoshan flicked his finger and shot it towards the witch Linglong.

To everyone's astonishment, the snake venom landed on the witch Linglong, transforming directly into a jade earring that seamlessly attached to the alabaster-colored earring.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

The shrine maiden Linglong suddenly blushed, her beautiful eyes filled with shyness.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoshan was so pretentious that he was suspected of harassing respectable women.

"Thank you, sir!"

At this time, the witch Linglong was already a Grandmaster, so she could naturally sense that what Zhang Xiaoshan said was true.

This three-inch snake gu is not only a gu king level snake gu, but compared to others, this 'enlightened' gu king is extremely rare, far more precious than the Golden Silkworm Gu King.

"In addition, Zhang will also be leaving for the area outside the Great Wall in three days."

"At that time, it will be inconvenient for Zhang to escort Miss Linglong back to Miao territory, and besides, given Miss Linglong's strength, she won't need Zhang's escort!"

A Grandmaster-level expert, unless their strength completely overwhelms them.

Otherwise, if someone wants to leave, no one can stop them, especially since the witch Linglong is a holy maiden of Miao territory, and her Gu poison is the most terrifying thing.

“Linglong understands.”

Zhang Xiaoshan has already made it very clear, and the witch Linglong is not ungrateful.

It's only natural that preparations need to be made for the eldest son's wedding.

However, Linglong in Witch 2.0 is still a bit reluctant to part with it.

Her time on the island was a rare journey in her life, filled with unique scenery.

Galloping across the ocean, through endless seas of flowers, a fairytale wonderland... even in the stillness of the night, she could see the cratered surface of the moon in the sky.

There was no fairy Chang'e or the Moon Palace, but this confirmed Zhang Xiaoshan's words.

Adding to the theory of perspective, if each star in the vast, distant galaxy seen through a telescope were a world in itself, then…

A flower is a world, a leaf is a Bodhi tree!

This undoubtedly corroborates Zhang Xiaoshan's speculation.

In this world, they are but a drop in the ocean.

This made the witch Linglong more aware of her own insignificance, and prevented her from developing a delusional mindset like Chi Yuan after breaking through to the Grandmaster level.

Chapter 866 Another Voyage - Fu Junqiang, the Blood Droplets

"What an incredibly luxurious ship!"

On the deck, the witch Linglong surveyed the simple, bright, and luxurious yacht before her.

If she hadn't changed her mind at the last minute, she would never have imagined that the Zhang family's real 'vehicle' was so luxurious.

Made from ancient wood that is thousands of years old, it is as hard as steel, yet several times lighter.

In terms of design, its perfectly streamlined structure, like a clipper sailboat, can easily part water currents. Combined with the rear propeller, it can reach a normal speed of 30 kilometers per hour, with a top acceleration of 40 kilometers per hour.

The lower deck of the ship features luxurious suites, a living room, entertainment facilities, and many other top-notch amenities.

The upper-floor main room features floor-to-ceiling windows, ensuring ample natural light and excellent ventilation. Standing by the window, one can see the swimming pool below, offering a breathtaking panoramic view.

The decor features a modern minimalist style and luxurious interior.

The overall effect is white, with carpets and tiled floors, large floor-to-ceiling windows, a marble bar, and genuine leather sofas...

Even the luxury on a dragon boat couldn't compare.

Besides, what shocked the priestess Linglong the most was the expert on the ship.

After boarding the ship, the 19 skilled individuals on board exceeded her expectations.

After spending several days together, the witch Linglong realized that there were at least three Grandmasters among the women of the Zhang family—Huang Rong, Murong Jiu, and Master Mingchen.

The others were at least peerless masters, possessing the ninth level of the Pure Yin Divine Skill!

There are also eight top-tier female sword attendants and three peerless Blood Droplets—Li Mochou, Yingxue, and Fu Junqiang!

Fu Junqiang joined the Blood Droplets with a heart full of hatred, hoping to obtain the Zhang family's martial arts resources, improve her swordsmanship, and achieve the strength to kill Gai Nie head-on.

After all, as Koreans, the three Fu sisters were considered foreigners in the Central Plains.

It is impossible to study under a famous teacher in the Central Plains, except for the Zhang family's Blood Droplets.

Only the Flying Guillotine could give her the possibility of improvement.

Among the three sisters, Fu Junqiang has the highest aptitude and is the most likely to become Gai Nie's opponent and defeat him.

There were at least twenty top experts on the ship, not counting the grandmasters present.

With this, the Zhang family swept across the Central Plains with ease.

Moreover, these are merely the female members of the Zhang family, not even part of the Zhang family's publicly displayed strength. In fact, the three female experts from the Blood Droplets were not even in their intelligence.

The only unparalleled female master of the Blood Droplets is Yingxia, also known as the Fire Cloud Evil God.

Moreover, the Zhang family has shopkeeper Feng and Liu Sheng Piaoxu outside the pass, one a grandmaster and the other a super master.

"Dad, a fish has taken the bait!"

The little girl stared at the sea, and when she saw the fishing line suddenly taut, her eyes lit up with a bright light.

Although the little girl usually goes fishing, she has never caught a big fish. After all, any deep-sea fish that is more than ten feet long weighs more than a thousand pounds, and its pulling force is not just a thousand pounds, but a thousand jun.

Once it's set up, it's pulled straight into the water; without absolute strength, it's impossible to catch.

Moreover, ordinary fishing lines break easily when pulled; only the silkworm silk fishing line reinforced by Zhang Xiaoshan has the ability to hold these large fish.

Soon, under the girl's intense gaze, Zhang Xiaoshan lifted up a deep-sea ribbonfish that was over two zhang long and had a silvery-white body like a sword blade.

At the same time, a stream of pure Yin Qi directly froze it.

After all, these ribbonfish die as soon as they are taken out of the water, and their color will also change.

Freezing the fish immediately not only preserves its freshness but also allows for processing of the fish in a frozen environment.

"It's rare to catch such a big fish!"

Without dragonfish meat as bait, Zhang Xiaoshan could only catch one or two large deep-sea fish at most in a day.

Moreover, many sharks come attracted by the smell of fish. If it is a shark, the fins are usually taken and the body is thrown back to fend for itself.

As for damaging the ecosystem?

There has been no problem for thousands of years. As long as there is no large-scale hunting, he can eat his food. One person cannot cause any major upheaval.
