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

Protected by Xiao Feng, Tashimoro, who had recently lost his martial arts skills, was placed in the main seat.

At this moment, several grandmasters had already taken their seats at the main table, and Chi Xue, Pang Ban, Gui Wang, Zhu Yuyan, Tu Xuehua and others who were being entertained by Xingyin also looked at Xiao Feng and Ta Shi Mo Luo.

The priestess Linglong, who had followed them, also sat on the side of Chixue, immediately attracting the attention of many people.

It should be noted that those who took the main seats at this time were basically all grandmasters.

Furthermore, it was no secret that Tashi Moro had come to the Central Plains, and many people recognized him.

"A master from the Great Snow Mountain?"

The unique attire of the Tantric sect, and the fact that it allowed access to the main table, made the Ghost King's eyes narrow.

It is important to know that among the five transcendent forces, the Great Snow Mountain is the most mysterious and transcendent, giving off a sense of being high above and looking down on all living beings.

Moreover, after entering the Central Plains, Tashimoluo challenged masters from all sides.

I heard that no one has ever survived three moves against him, but I never expected him to be so exhausted now, as if his yang energy had been completely drained.

"Amitabha! This humble monk, Tashimala, greets all benefactors!"

It really is Tashima!

The great monk who "traveled across the nine provinces" in the Great Snow Mountain startled everyone around him.

"The Divine Skill of the Wedding Dress?"

"Great monk, you have quite the perseverance! If you master your divine skills, I'll be waiting for your challenge in Miao territory!"

"Amitabha!"

When Tashimoro saw the priestess Linglong sitting next to Chixue, he vaguely guessed Chixue's identity.

Moreover, during this period, in order to motivate him to cultivate the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, Zhang Xiaoshan also mentioned that another master of the Nine Provinces Horizontal Refinement was the one who had completed nine blood refinements in Miao territory.

However, at most, Tashimoro's strength is only enough to challenge Chi Xue.

To challenge a master who has undergone nine Blood Refinements, one must at least defeat Crimson Blood, who has reached the peak of eight Blood Refinements, before being qualified to challenge a master who has undergone nine Blood Refinements.

Upon seeing Crimson Blood, Tashimoluo felt that he was destined to be a formidable enemy.

Moreover, Crimson Blood had only reached the peak of Blood Refinement eight times.

One can imagine what kind of existence an invincible master who has undergone nine blood refinements must be.

This filled Tashimoro with curiosity and anticipation for Miao territory. He never expected that there would be such a terrifying master of external martial arts in the world.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Tashimoluo with even brighter eyes.

No wonder this monk looked like he had been drained of all his yang energy; I never expected he had actually cultivated the Wedding Dress Divine Skill.

Moreover, since the person being initiated was escorted by experts from the Zhang family, the person must be within the Zhang family.

Thinking of this, many people became even more wary of the Zhang family.

Regardless of what methods the Zhang family used, they have undoubtedly gained another peerless master, and a half-step Grandmaster at that.

As more and more masters were sent to the main seat, Zhang Han, representing the Empire; Xiaomeng, representing the Taoist Heavenly Sect; Fu Nian, representing the Confucian Holy Land...

"Shi Long, on the orders of the Buddha, represents Ghost Street to congratulate the young master on his wedding!"

Just as the grand feast was about to begin, a figure arrived.

Looking at that ethereal, graceful figure that seemed to drift in from nowhere, everyone understood that the person who had come was definitely full of confidence.

Salt Gang Shilong?

Are they here to represent Ghost Street?

Even Shangguan Jin Hong, who is ranked tenth on the blacklist, as well as Lu Guan Ying and Qiu Qian Ren, cannot represent Ghost Street.

But only one person can do it, and that is the Golden-Faced Buddha.

At this moment, the stone dragon, dressed in a green robe and exuding an ethereal aura, had vaguely reached the level of the Black List, unfathomable, and had become one with heaven and earth.

........ .. .......

This is not a grandmaster, but it is similar to a grandmaster!

This is the perfect state of the Longevity Technique.

Such a master was merely an envoy.

The gift that Shi Long presented was a simple and heavy sandalwood box.

The moment the gift box appeared, most people's eyes lit up, and they vaguely guessed what was inside.

This is a congratulatory gift from the Golden-Faced Buddha; it certainly can't be stingy.

"This is the Buddha's gift—the Flying Immortal Sword Technique!"

Flying Immortal Sword Technique!

It's not the Buddha's Palm or the Heavenly Crippled Divine Skill you might imagine.

But the name "Flying Immortal Sword Technique" made everyone's eyes light up and their expressions shake.

During the battle of Zhuxian Town, the Golden-Faced Buddha used this Flying Immortal Sword Technique to kill many invading enemies with a single sword strike. If Zhang Sanfeng hadn't suddenly appeared and unleashed his second sword strike, there would have been virtually no survivors.

I thought this sword technique, which had been dormant for more than 20 years, was about to become a legend, but I never expected it to reappear in the world.

"Zhang thanks Your Majesty for the generous gift!"

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan raised his hand and accepted Shi Long's gift box.

Although it was self-directed and self-acted, the Golden-Faced Buddha is, after all, the representative figure of Ghost Street, so it was impossible for him not to appear. Moreover, the legendary Flying Immortal Sword Technique could also be manifested in the world.

After Zhang Xiaoshan broke through, the Flying Immortal Sword Technique naturally became useless.

But things are different now; this sword technique is suitable for Zhang Sheng and Lü Su to practice.

As for Lü Zhi?

Not to mention that his true qi doesn't match, he also has too many distracting thoughts and desires, making him completely unsuitable for cultivating this sword technique.

Chapter 879 Butcher Ding Carves Up an Ox

As the banquet began, dozens of tall, graceful maids moved about the banquet hall.

In addition to the nine plates of candied fruit, pastries, and milk candy that had been prepared in advance, various cold dishes and appetizers were served one after another so that everyone would not go hungry while waiting.

At the banquet, a group of people who were originally strangers sat together and boasted to each other.

The overly friendly guests even directly opened the clay seal on the wine jar on the table.

Suddenly, an extremely rich aroma of wine filled the air.

The Zhang family prepared three kinds of wine: Shaoxing wine (Daughter's Red), Baijiu (Imperial Brew), and grape wine.

And the wine sealed in mud is none other than Shaoxing Daughter Red!

"A Shaoxing Zhangjia cellar-aged daughter's red wine, aged for eighteen years?"

Many of the experts present were connoisseurs of wine, and the aroma alone was enough to impress them.

Unexpectedly, the Zhang family managed to acquire so much 'Eighteen-Year-Old Daughter's Red Wine'.

Throughout the entire Nine Provinces, how many Zhang families are there?

Aside from the Zhang family celebrating their wedding, the Zhang family, which is one of the few famous families in Shaoxing, is a renowned winemaking family.

On the market, a jar of Zhang's 18-year-old Daughter's Red wine starts at least at ten gold coins, and it's priceless.

Just like the 1982 Lafite, it has already established a label of 'absolutely high-end'.

Before it was even born, it had already been ordered by various wealthy customers.

However, the Zhang family in Shaoxing doesn't have 'eighteen-year' daughter's red wine every year.

The fact that it can appear on the market under the name of "Eighteen-Year-Old Daughter's Red Wine" from Zhangjia Cellar must mean that it was the best batch of wine made eighteen years ago; otherwise, it would have been treated as a second-rate product.

This batch of Zhang Family Daughter Red wine was brewed by the Zhang family in Shaoxing at Zhang Xiaoshan's request, specifically for wedding banquets today.

In an instant, the aroma of Daughter Red wine filled the entire palace.

As for baijiu and red wine, they are automatically ignored.

This is a wedding banquet, so Shaoxing wine is naturally the most suitable choice.

"Eighteen years? This is clearly twenty years' worth of Daughter's Red wine."

Based on the timeline, this should be a batch of Daughter's Red wine that the Zhang family deliberately ordered and stored for twenty years.

It is customary for wealthy families in Jiangnan to brew several jars of fine wine and bury them underground when their daughters are born.

When their daughter gets married, it will either be used as part of her dowry or as a gift for a wedding banquet...

Zhang Xiaoshan's actions are perfectly justifiable!

However, this was not a daughter's wedding, but Zhang Sheng's wedding.

hum!

Just as everyone was marveling at the Zhang family's "generous spending", a sudden wave of fire struck.

Everyone looked over and saw that the hot plate had already been put into operation.

At this moment, Cook Ding threw up a huge iron pot weighing over a thousand pounds. The flames roared and surged like a furnace, and the scorching heat within ten feet made it almost impossible to breathe.

Only a few skilled prep cooks can get close enough to get close to the butcher.

What's more, the butcher, wielding a huge iron pot with effortless ease, left everyone speechless with astonishment.

Born with supernatural powers?

But it's impossible to have maximum fire resistance!

Moreover, cooking is not just about resisting fire; it also requires spreading the heat of the flame across the entire bottom of the wok while maintaining maximum fire control in order to cook the finest dishes.

For a moment, many people looked at the weak Tashimoluo on the main table and seemed to be deep in thought.

Is this the Zhang family?

For a simple cook, one can directly receive empowerment from a grandmaster, becoming one of the most powerful half-step grandmasters in the martial arts world.

Even the top experts on the blacklist and the overlords of the major forces couldn't help but sigh at Zhang Xiaoshan's wealth and power.

Compared to the expenditure on gold and silver, this kind of generosity truly shook the entire land.

"The skill of Butcher Ding in carving up an ox is close to the Dao!"

"Young master, you've got quite the scheming. Congratulations to the Royal Palace for gaining another top-tier Grandmaster."

Fu Nian looked at the cook, Pao Ding, and couldn't help but show a look of envy.

In Sanghai City, he learned about Paoding's culinary skills and abilities.

However, he is only a chef with a little potential.

Even the skill of a master butcher can only reach the level of a top-tier knife master.

However, this knife skill is for cooking, not for killing, so there is no such person as "Butcher Ding" in the martial arts world.

Moreover, Cook Ding had only just broken through to the pinnacle realm, and was still a long way from becoming a grandmaster or even a peerless master, with a bleak future ahead.

But without a doubt, the skill of "Butcher Ding dissecting an ox" is also a knife technique that is close to the "Tao".

Now that Paoding has received the Grandmaster's empowerment, his essence, energy, and spirit are in no way inferior to those of the Black List masters. As long as he cultivates the Paoding's Butchering Knife Technique to the highest level, he may well be able to break through to the Grandmaster level.

Only the Zhang family could grant them this fortunate opportunity.

"Cooking the cow?

The wondrous techniques recorded in the Daoist text *Zhuangzi: Nourishing Life* are actually like this!

Upon hearing this, the grandmasters at the head of the table immediately understood why Zhang Xiaoshan wanted Tashimoro to pass on his skills to a chef.

Besides today's feast, the potential of the butcher is undoubtedly there as well.

The story of Butcher Ding dissecting an ox is a famous passage from the Daoist classic Zhuangzi, which is almost akin to the Daoist art of knife work.

If the legendary skill of "Butcher Ding dissecting an ox" truly existed, one can only imagine the potential of that butcher.
