And when they see something they're interested in or like, they basically just buy, buy, buy...
When they finally boarded the ship, half of the cabin was already filled with rubble.
Most of it is useless stuff!
Even Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't have imagined that Ghost Street, this black market, would contain all sorts of miscellaneous things.
They probably sell on busy streets during the day, and then move to Ghost Street at night.
Before leaving, Zhang Xiaoshan instructed Gui Yanluo to reorganize these businesses.
A ghost street should look like a ghost street; a dark place is ultimately a place for doing shady business.
Zhang Xiaoshan didn't want the connection between Ghost Street and the Zhang family to become public knowledge, turning it directly into a legitimate commercial street. That would be extremely disadvantageous for the Zhang family.
Therefore, it is not too late to correct it now.
As for the fast boat prepared by Ghost Yama, it was a steamship designed in the style of later speedboats, about two zhang long.
Divided into manual and steam:
Humans naturally use internal force to drive the internal turbocharger, which can reach a speed of up to fifty kilometers per hour.
Steam could only reach a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, but that was already faster than the speed of a large Japanese ship, let alone fishing boats and small boats.
However, human strength has its limits; even the most skilled expert cannot last an hour.
Steam speedboats, on the other hand, can sail for days and nights as long as they have water and coal, making them suitable for coastal travel.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan used his pure Yang true qi to activate the turbocharger inside, and at the same time, the spatial power that shattered the void enveloped the entire speedboat. The original best speed of fifty kilometers per hour was instantly increased to a super speed of one hundred kilometers per hour.
Even the shrine maiden Reiryu felt a tremor in her heart as the speedboat cut through the waves.
I never imagined that the Zhang family's cutting-edge technology had reached such a profound level.
"At this rate, we should be able to reach Peach Blossom Island by morning!"
"This is the power to shatter the void?"
Compared to this cutting-edge technology, the shrine maiden Linglong was more concerned with the mysterious power that enveloped the surroundings.
It was a powerful force of heaven and earth, like a supreme force, a power she could not even perceive after advancing to the Grandmaster level.
"Indeed, this is the power to shatter the void!"
Back then, when Zhang fought against the Bad Commander, he observed the Bad Commander's ability to seal off space and gained some insights.
Moreover, Zhang had already broken through to the twelfth level of perfection at that time, possessing the qualifications to comprehend this ability, and over the years he had simply become more proficient at it.
Upon hearing this, the priestess Linglong was not only shocked but also wary.
This ability is terrifying. If it can achieve such superhuman speed on water, wouldn't it be able to exceed the speed of sound on land?
Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan could maintain this for such a long time; it wouldn't be a dream for him to roam thousands of miles in a single day.
"Wouldn't that mean the young master could break through the void very soon?"
"Breaking through the void? Actually, Zhang has no interest in that at all."
Only by recognizing the vastness of the universe can one realize the insignificance of humanity. The so-called breaking through the void, in Zhang's view, is nothing but a dead end!
"Dead end?"
The witch Linglong looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with confusion and shock, wondering why he said that.
Is breaking through the void a dead end?
I'm afraid Zhang Xiaoshan is the first person to say that.
After all, so many people yearn to break through the void but cannot achieve it.
"The universe is vast, and the starry sky is boundless!"
The clever girl probably thought the earth beneath our feet was the center of the world, which is the so-called theory of a round heaven and a square earth.
"Isn't it?"
"no!"
Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head, and then, to the astonishment of the witch Linglong, explained:
"Actually, there is an astronomical telescope on Peach Blossom Island, which is already quite advanced and can see the surface of the moon."
As the Buddhist saying goes: "One flower, one world; one leaf, one universe."
In the vast universe, there exist countless stars, and each star is a world, a star world as numerous as grains of sand.
Therefore, breaking through the void means seeking spiritual transcendence or breaking through space to travel through time and space.
But in Zhang's view, the first option was illusory, and the second was courting death.
"how is this possible?"
The shock of modern science made the witch Linglong look at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief.
"Whether it's true or not, you'll know when you look at the stars."
For a moment, both of them fell silent.
Zhang Xiaoshan knew the impact this theory would have on the witch Linglong. Putting aside the theory of a flat earth and a round heaven, the mere fact that the starry sky contained countless star worlds was like a myth or legend.
However, all of this is predicated on the existence of astronomical telescopes.
If the existence of the moon can be proven, then Zhang Xiaoshan's speculation will naturally be proven to be based on evidence.
Add to that the theory of near objects appearing larger and far objects appearing smaller, and the vast sky, with its galaxy-like expanse, becomes an enormous world.
"arrive!"
Three hours later, the speedboat arrived at Peach Blossom Island.
At this moment, the women on the dock had been waiting for a long time: Huang Rong, Princess Yinchuan, Murong Jiu, Ji Yaohua, the four maids, and a little girl holding a white tiger.
Looking at the beautiful women who still seemed to be in their late teens, even the shrine maiden Linglong couldn't help but feel envious.
Apart from Princess Yinchuan and the Zhang family's little princess, they were basically all acquaintances.
Ji Yaohua, as a divine constable of the Six Doors, had been seen by the witch Linglong many times.
“Linglong greets all the elder sisters!”
"Miss Linglong!"
Huang Rong linked arms with the witch Linglong like sisters, while looking at Zhang Xiaoshan with a questioning gaze, even a warning look in her eyes.
She could tolerate Zhang Xiaoshan having affairs, after all, a woman should follow her husband wherever he goes, and it's too late to regret it now.
But bringing it back is impossible.
"Hongxiao, prepare a guest room for Miss Linglong in the small building."
"I promised them during my stay in Miao territory that I would help Miss Linglong's Gu worm advance to Gu King level, so I may be staying for a while. Therefore, please treat me well."
"I see!"
The warning in Huang Rong's eyes dissipated, and she became even more enthusiastic towards Linglong.
Those who haven't entered the sect are basically all sisters, not to mention a female master of the Grandmaster level (Qian Dede).
"By the way, Jiu'er, during this time, could you introduce Linglong to the poisonous creatures of the New World?"
Furthermore, the matter of the Golden Silkworm Gu King was explained in detail, so that the Miao people wouldn't think that Zhang was greedy for a Gu King and unwilling to return it.
"Don't worry, young master!"
Miao people are skilled in Gu poison, and Murong Jiu, who is in charge of the Golden Silkworm Gu King, naturally knows the secret behind it.
Zhang Xiaoshan is preparing to pay out one to one!
As for the method of cultivating the Gu King?
Zhang Xiaoshan directly instructed Murong Jiu to combine the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng brought by the witch Linglong with some thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to brew a highly nourishing blood and qi soup, which was then fed to the nine-tailed spirit fox.
Then Zhang Xiaoshan used pure Yang purple energy to help the nine-tailed fox digest.
When the nine-tailed spirit fox had completely absorbed such a huge amount of medicinal power in a short time, Murong Jiu directly cut its legs and feet, dripping out half a small bowl of spiritual blood.
As for the nine-tailed spirit fox, it was directly handed over to Hongxiao for bandaging, allowing it to fall into a deep sleep and digest the remaining medicinal power.
Chapter 863 A Fusion Beyond Martial Arts – The Nine Provinces Cauldron
"Next, we just need to wait for the Gu worm to undergo its transformation!"
The priestess Linglong looked at the tiny green snake clinging to the Pure Yang Dragon Pearl and immediately showed a worried expression.
Because she was aware of the malevolent nature of the Dragon Ball's power, she wondered if her Gu worms, if they absorbed the Dragon Ball's power, might go out of control or even devour their master.
Over the years, Miao Jianglongzhu has caused a lot of trouble.
"What else is Miss Linglong worried about?"
The dragon ball has a small snake, only seven inches long and resembling jade, which is the natal Gu of the priestess Linglong.
Its power lies in the fact that even a master at the pinnacle of cultivation would perish instantly in the Northwest with just a small sip, making it second only to the Gu King.
"It's nothing, Linglong was just a little curious."
"Haha, don't worry, Miss Linglong."
As Miss Linglong just saw, the blood of the nine-tailed fox is already incredibly effective, let alone now that it contains the essence of a ten-thousand-year-old divine medicine.
Once your natal Gu has fully absorbed these medicinal powers, it will naturally be promoted to Gu King.
As for how to ensure that these medicinal effects do not dissipate and are fully absorbed, the Pure Yang Dragon Pearl is the best place for them to reside.
Moreover, Miss Linglong can rest assured that Zhang will not force it to mutate.
As long as Zhang doesn't inject the power of the Dragon Ball, the aura emitted by the Dragon Ball itself will not affect the mutation of the Gu worm. Instead, it will slowly absorb it until it fully advances.
Upon hearing this, the shrine maiden Reirō breathed a sigh of relief.

With Zhang Xiaoshan's explanation and assurance, at least there's no need to worry about any problems with this natal Gu.
At the same time, she looked at the nine-tailed fox with envy.
She wasn't an idiot; she saw the method clearly and understood the miraculous power of the Nine-Tailed Fox's blood. However, the small amount of blood she had just used was only a small part of the millennium-old divine medicine; the majority of it was still in the Nine-Tailed Fox's body.
At this moment, the nine-tailed spirit fox is asleep, absorbing the medicinal power. Once it awakens, it will inevitably undergo a tremendous transformation.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel envious.
The Zhang family's spirit beasts enjoy incredibly good benefits.
Another enormous white tiger, a full ten feet long, was holding a little girl. After the nine-tailed spirit fox drank the essence-condensed blood and qi soup, the white tiger ate the dregs of the medicine.
This is a medicinal soup made from a combination of ancient and miraculous herbs, and even the dregs have incredible medicinal power.
But the Zhang family actually fed a white tiger cub to it.
"Alright, I'll put the Dragon Balls away for now."
"Linglong, there are many fun places on the island. You've been in Miao territory for a long time, this must be your first time at sea. Let Rong'er show you around for a couple of days."
"Thank you for your hospitality, young master!"
Indeed, although the shrine maiden Reirō had seen the sea before, this was her first time going out to sea.
Moreover, Peach Blossom Island, where the Zhang family lives, is like a paradise on earth.
Not only are the peach blossoms in full bloom and the fallen leaves colorful, but there is also a sea of love flowers. In addition, the island has a variety of high-tech entertainment facilities, and even the witch Linglong has gradually let go of her restraints.
As for Zhang Xiaoshan, he was responsible for summarizing the gains from this trip.
Not only the specialties brought by the three bronze-armored warriors, but also the insights gained from the three-day discussion on Taoism in the Great Snow Mountain and the duel with the immortal demon body, were of great help to him.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan plans to integrate Chinese and Western cultures, and combine the orthodox and the demonic, to reach a new level.
