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

For three days, Zhang Xiaoshan studied Dragon Ball in his study.

Even the food was brought in in turn by Hongxiao, Jiangxue, and Piaoxu, and no one dared to disturb them.

The three women knew perfectly well what Zhang Xiaoshan had.

After all, rumors were rampant about the Zhang family.

They knew that the Dragon Ball, which was rumored to be incredibly powerful in the streets, was not something simple.

When Zhang Yuan found out, he strictly forbade the news from spreading.

Once this thing gets out of the martial arts world, even if the Zhang family isn't afraid, they'll still face a lot of trouble. It's better to avoid trouble altogether.

'nice one! '

Zhang Xiaoshan raised his hand and put away the Dragon Ball.

With just the right amount of time, Zhang Xiaoshan figured out the function of the Dragon Ball.

The Dragon Ball is a priceless treasure in the martial arts world. Wearing it will undoubtedly prolong life and increase one's cultivation speed.

This is the basic usage that prevents the activation of power. "807"

To trigger the power of the Dragon Balls, one must be like Zhang Xiaoshan, who has a connection with the Dragon Balls and can mobilize their power through true qi.

Secondly, the power of the Dragon Balls can be activated through meteorite copper.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan discovered that, as he had imagined, the power of the Dragon Balls could not be directly absorbed.

If you forcibly absorb it, the power will inevitably backfire, leaving you neither human nor ghost!

When used, the power of the Dragon Balls is absolutely earth-shattering.

Like the Dragon Ball in his hand, once Zhang Xiaoshan activates it, the power of the Dragon Ball can allow him to directly unleash the realm of a supreme grandmaster and mobilize the power of heaven and earth.

The vastness and power of heaven and earth are beyond human reach, as can be seen from this.

"Young master, you've emerged from seclusion!"

Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan walk out of the study, Hongxiao and the others hurriedly prepared hot water for his bath.

She knew that Zhang Xiaoshan would always bathe and cleanse himself before leaving seclusion to relax his muscles and bones, so Liu Sheng Piaoxu led Zhang Xiaoshan to the main hall.

This was Zhang Yuan's instruction.

"father!"

Zhang Yuan waved his hand, and Juexin and the others understood and guarded the surroundings.

Zhang Xiaoshan went into seclusion for three days, but the martial arts world was thrown into chaos, even Ghost Street was no exception.

Although rumors circulated that the three Dragon Balls had fallen into the hands of the Golden-Faced Buddha, the group still decided to start with Lei Laowu, making a move at Ghost Street...

Many martial arts figures caused trouble because of this, but Lei Laowu did not show up, while Gui Yanluo slaughtered a river of blood.

None of the martial arts practitioners who caused trouble ever made it out of Ghost Street.

The name Yama, the King of Hell, is truly fitting this time.

Furthermore, Oni Yama also confirmed that the Dragon Balls were in the hands of the Golden-Faced Buddha.

However, trying to snatch the Dragon Ball from the Golden-Faced Buddha is extremely difficult, not to mention his mysterious identity. Just from the last battle, the Golden-Faced Buddha has already become a taboo in Ghost Street.

"The recent bloodshed on Ghost Street raises the question: what exactly is the Dragon Ball? Is it worth sacrificing so many lives?"

"The Dragon Balls are indeed a treasure of the martial arts world, but most people find them useless."

To activate the power of the Dragon Balls, one must be like a child, able to sense their power, and then use true qi to activate them. The resulting power is earth-shattering, equivalent to the realm of a supreme grandmaster.

Secondly, the meteorite pendant in my child's hand is also the key to unlocking the Dragon Ball.

The Dragon Balls originated from a piece of meteorite copper obtained by the Great Jin Empire hundreds of years ago and were refined from it.

At that time, Emperor Taizu of Jin summoned a master of feng shui to survey the dragon veins and mixed meteorite copper with the best talents in the world to refine eight dragon pearls to suppress the dragon vein fortune of the Jin Empire.

I never expected things to change like this. My original intention was to excavate the imperial tomb, sever the dragon vein, and cause the Jin Dynasty to decline from its peak.

I never expected there to be such a wonderful thing inside.

"With the appearance of the Dragon Balls, although the Jin Dynasty's fortunes will be severed, it will inevitably cause a huge upheaval in the Central Plains."

Zhang Xiaoshan summoned the Dragon Pearl. Although Zhang Yuan couldn't see anything different about it, he knew the power Zhang Xiaoshan had mentioned—earth-shattering—it must be a supreme treasure.

At the same time, he looked at the folding fan at Zhang Xiaoshan's waist and was surprised to find that the meteorite pendant was actually the key to the Dragon Ball.

When Zhang Sanfeng came last time, the first thing he did was return the treasure.

The most precious treasure is that meteorite copper pendant!

He had previously thought it was a bit too serious, but now he realized it was an absolute treasure.

"Since the Dragon Balls are useful, then hide them well!"

···

After washing up, Hongxiao and Jiangxue, their pretty faces flushed, helped Zhang Xiaoshan tidy his clothes.

Her gentle and virtuous appearance deeply moved even Zhang Xiaoshan.

After all, Hongxiao and Jiangxue had served him everything since he was a child, and their relationship was very deep.

However, in order to establish himself, Zhang Xiaoshan has now distanced himself from the two of them.

With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xiaoshan handed two jewel-encrusted daggers to Hongxiao and Jiangxue, and said with a smile:

"These are two daggers that can cut through iron like mud. Although your skill level has reached the top level, you lack experience in fighting enemies. Use these two daggers for self-defense."

"Thank you, young master!"

Hongxiao and Jiangxue looked delighted. They didn't like swordplay, but they did care who gave them the gifts.

The deep concern they conveyed touched them deeply.

"Don't go out lately, it's a bit chaotic outside. 0, practice your kung fu at home when you have nothing to do!"

After giving some instructions, Zhang Xiaoshan took the nine-tailed fox out of Jiang Xue's arms and left.

The Dragon Ball is of great importance, and even Zhang Xiaoshan needs to plan ahead.

He couldn't reveal the three hidden ones, and he still needed to seize the other visible Dragon Balls, so Zhang Xiaoshan went out with two bronze-armored warriors this time.

"Young master!"

Hongfu!

After not seeing her for many days, Manager Feng's eyes were alluring and seductive, and even Zhang Xiaoshan found it hard to resist her captivating gaze.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan was busy this time, so he pretended not to see it and went up to the private room in the attic.

"Commander, I hope I haven't disturbed your official business?"

"Although the Six Doors have been busy lately, how could Hengdao not come when Young Master Zhang has business to attend to?"

Zhang Xiaoshan handed the nine-tailed fox to Piaoxu, apologized with a drink, and then chuckled as he produced a letter:

"This is a treasure hunt order."

Recently, a treasure has appeared in the martial arts world, and I believe that Commander Hengdao has also heard about it.

Rumor has it that this mysterious dragon ball has the power to bring the dead back to life. My betrothed sister has been seriously ill and bedridden for several months and has not left the Zhang residence for a long time.

So, I'd like to issue a treasure hunt notice, offering a reward of 100,000 taels of gold and a dragon ball to heal my sister!

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's words, Liu Sheng Piaoxu almost lost her composure.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoshan used the disappearance of Huang Rong (1.9) as an excuse to search for treasure and cure his illness.

If she hadn't known the truth, she probably would have believed it too.

However, she was more curious about Huang Rong's reaction upon hearing the news; she feared she might even return with a sword drawn.

"Oh. Is someone in your household seriously ill?"

"Well, actually, Commander Hengdao's investigation revealed that Zhang has a younger sister who is already engaged, and the wedding is less than three months away!"

However, several months ago he contracted a serious illness for unknown reasons and has been bedridden ever since, never leaving his residence.

Zhang had also secretly sought out Imperial Physician Zhang, but unfortunately...

Originally, Zhang thought there was no hope of recovery, but recently he heard about the Dragon Ball, so he decided to offer a large reward to try and save it.

One hundred thousand taels of gold!

Even Hengdao was taken aback by Zhang Xiaoshan's bold move.

"It's a trivial matter, but I, Hengdao, am duty-bound to handle it!"

Chapter 112 Wanyan Kang's Visit

"Have you heard? Young Master Zhang has raised the bounty to 200,000 taels of silver to get the Dragon Pearl to save his fiancée!"

Two hundred thousand taels? Are you crazy?

"Tch, what do you think? There are plenty of bounties on the black market and ghost streets, none of them are less than 100,000 taels of gold."

How much is 200,000 taels of gold?

With approximately 14,000 taels of gold, there would be more than enough to cast a large golden cauldron.

This price gouging has made the Dragon Balls even more valuable!

However, all the Dragon Balls appearing in the martial arts world are fake. The real masters who have obtained the Dragon Balls would never take them out.

The bounty had been offered for a month or two, and although there were constant disturbances in the martial arts world, no real Dragon Ball had appeared.

It's as if they've vanished!

However, Zhang Xiaoshan understood that the seemingly 'peaceful' world was actually rife with undercurrents, and the battles for the Dragon Ball had never ceased.

As for his bounty?

If a fool were to actually produce the Dragon Ball, it would only cost two hundred thousand taels of gold.

Besides, some people who obtain the Dragon Balls cannot decipher its secrets; two hundred thousand taels of gold are more practical.

"Young master, a son of Wanyan Kang is looking for you?"

Wanyan Kang?

Zhang Xiaoshan looked surprised upon hearing this, but still nodded to Piao 19 Xu.

With the Yellow Dragon stolen and its dragon veins severed, it would be strange if the Jin Kingdom didn't react.

He hadn't expected that the other party would be Wanyan Kang, but he didn't care much.

As Wanyan Kang led the five top experts of the Jin Kingdom into the Zhang residence, everyone watched with curiosity along the way.

As a merchant family, the Zhang family was not large, occupying only thirty acres of land.

Of course, this is only relative!

A mountain is not valued for its height, but for the presence of immortals; for many, the Zhang family is a den of dragons and tigers.

The fact that there were only two eminent monks guarding the temple was a testament to their exceptional skill.

The two bronze-armored warriors, having witnessed Zhang Xiaoshan's strength firsthand, naturally knew just how terrifying he was.

"Greetings, Young Master Zhang!"

Inside the hall, Wanyan Kang made no attempt to conceal his awe of Zhang Xiaoshan.

Not to mention that this is the Central Plains, Zhang Xiaoshan is someone they dare not offend, and the last incident is still fresh in their minds.

Fortunately, their cooperation was good. After Wanyan Honglie returned last time, he soon comprehended the contents of the book and sent Wanyan Kang to Iron Palm Peak to bring back the 'Wumu Legacy'.

Wanyan Honglie kept his word and immediately informed the Jin Emperor, allocating the agreed-upon supplies to the Zhang family.

"Young Prince, you have come from afar! Distinguished guest, please have a seat!"

At this moment, a servant brought tea—the finest West Lake Longjing tea.

The aroma of tea filled the air, and the clear, emerald-green broth was so enviable that even Wanyan Kang couldn't help but show a hint of envy.

There are so many good things in Jiangnan. Although he could drink these teas, Zhang Xiaoshan was so casual about them that he didn't treat them as treasures at all. This is the luxury of Jiangnan.

"Young Prince, have you come here because of the theft of the imperial tomb and the eight dragon balls?"
