However, his martial arts skills were too weak, and Zhang Xiaoshan was worried that those monsters and demons would target this head manager and plot against the Zhang family.
With the emotional sensing ability of this demonic seed, Zhang Xiaoshan can quickly sense any unexpected events.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Su Chan!"
As the head manager of the Zhang family in Xianyang, this Miss Su Chan is not only renowned for her beauty throughout the capital, but also holds an extremely high position.
After all, with the Zhang family behind them, no force dares to offend them easily.
Private rooms at Zhang Family Restaurant and hotel rooms are extremely difficult to book. Apart from the Imperial Family who can jump the queue, even the most prestigious families have to negotiate to get a room.
"It is my duty, how can I say it is hard work?"
"May I ask what brings you here, young master?"
Zhang Xiaoshan has been a completely hands-off manager in Donghai for years, with Zhang Yuan handling all the business matters.
Therefore, Su Chan looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and understood that the young master's sudden arrival must have something to do, but it should not be related to the restaurant or the mall.
After all, as the head manager, she knew everything about those below her, and nothing major happened.
"It's nothing, I just came here to check out the business after being invited by the Dragon Emperor."
"And by the way, let's see what your cultivation level is. After all, in this chaotic city of Xianyang, it's necessary to have some means of self-protection."
"This humble servant thanks the young master for his concern."
With her beautiful eyes sparkling with spring and her demeanor alluring, the once pure and aloof goddess instantly transformed into a peerless enchantress capable of bringing ruin to a nation.
Chapter 622 Zhao Gao's Ambition
"I have met His Majesty!"
In the empty hall, the Dragon Emperor on his throne looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with surprise in his eyes.
Zhang Xiaoshan did not barge in directly, but entered through the palace gate of Xianyang Palace and followed Zhao Gao all the way here.
Compared to those powerful figures who break the law with their martial arts, Zhang Xiaoshan can be said to have strictly adhered to the rules.
"Five years have passed, and you are still as dashing as ever, while I have grown somewhat old."
Ten years have passed, and now the Dragon Emperor has some gray hairs at his temples.
Returning to his true age, the Dragon Emperor had long passed the age of forty and reached the age of knowing one's destiny.
At this age, most people would already have gray hair, and those who get married at fourteen or fifteen in remote mountainous areas might already have four generations under one roof.
Therefore, it is not surprising that he has a few gray hairs, and the Dragon Emperor's body is still in its peak condition!
"Zhang practiced Taoist cultivation techniques for health preservation before the age of eighteen, and after the age of eighteen he cultivated the Taoist mental cultivation method - Pure Yang Wuji Gong, and entered the ultimate realm of Taoism. His way of health preservation can be considered to have started early."
"Taoist health practices? What about Buddhist practices?"
Martial Arts Zen Sect, Wedding Dress Divine Skill!
Strictly speaking, the Wedding Dress Divine Skill is a Buddhist martial art, therefore the Dragon Emperor also held some expectations.
"Taoists practice Qi cultivation, while Buddhists cultivate a golden body."
Buddhist martial arts are all related to qi and blood, and the Empire should be most aware of the essence of qi and blood, after all, the martial arts of physical training are the pinnacle.
"Qi and blood gradually weaken with age; this is true for all veterans."
“Your words are insightful, I understand now.”
What about the Wedding Dress Divine Skill?
"The Wedding Dress Divine Skill?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan vaguely guessed the purpose of the Dragon Emperor Ying Zheng, and then nodded and said:
"The True Qi of the Wedding Dress does indeed have the potential to slow down aging. Even when one cultivates a martial arts technique to the highest level, it can help maintain the slow depletion of Qi and blood."
However, His Majesty should be the grafter, not the biggest beneficiary.
After the Wedding Dress Divine Skill was dispelled and rebuilt, the body was able to absorb a large amount of nutrients like a glutton, resulting in a second surge in growth.
If the nutrition is extremely high, growing two or three feet tall is not a problem.
"profound?"
Considering that Meng Tian was already eight feet tall, if he were to grow another two feet, he would be over ten feet tall. Even if it wasn't a true ten feet, it would still be an absolute height.
Just like Guan Yu was nine feet tall, but Lü Bu was nine and a half feet tall, making him the number one warrior of his time.
"Young Master should have guessed it. I am fortunate to have received your teachings. This time, Meng Tian has been cultivating the Wedding Dress Divine Skill on my behalf and has now reached the level where he can pass on his skills. I hope that you will help me."
"The level at which one can transfer power? Seventy percent, eighty percent, or ninety percent?"
"Eighty percent!"
Zhao Gao answered Zhang Xiaoshan's question, and the Dragon Emperor nodded in agreement, also understanding the difference.
But ever since he noticed the gray hairs at his temples, he couldn't wait any longer, which is why he invited Zhang Xiaoshan to prepare to pass on his skills.
"Eighty percent? Your Majesty is getting anxious."
If General Meng Tian could continue cultivating, it would be best if he could cultivate to 90% completion. That would be the time when his opportunity would be at its best, allowing him to step into the Grandmaster realm and even cultivate the Demon-Subduing Golden Body.
As for His Majesty's health, with regular meals, it shouldn't be a problem for the next ten years.
"Your words suggest I wait a little longer? How much longer will I have to wait?"
"It takes five years to reach 80% of the skill level. Given General Meng's aptitude, he could reach 90% in at most three years."
three years?
The Dragon Emperor looked thoughtful. It wasn't that he couldn't wait!
"Your Majesty, Young Master, the Wedding Dress Divine Skill is too domineering. Even I, your brother, have reached my limit."
Moreover, upon hearing that His Majesty intends to pass on his skills, my brother's resolve has completely crumbled!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head regretfully.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted!
Meng Tian was ordered by the emperor to cultivate the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, so in addition to his strong physique, he also had the emperor's mandate in his heart.
Therefore, upon hearing Ying Zheng instruct him to prepare for the transmission of skills, the biggest weight on his heart lifted, and for the first time, he lost the will to enter.
The domineering nature of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill makes it no easy feat to master it to 90%.
Unless you're a martial arts fanatic like Xingyin.
"Is it?"
Even Emperor Ying Zheng couldn't help but reveal a complex expression.
Unexpectedly, his momentary impulse caused Meng Tian to lose his opportunity.
However, even with Meng Tian's resilience, it was difficult for him, the empire's number one warrior, to withstand such terrible pain, which shows how domineering the Wedding Dress Divine Skill is.
No wonder, apart from the Zhang family, there are no other powerful figures in the martial arts world who have recovered their skills after losing them!
First, there are very few masters who have cultivated to the 70% level of proficiency.
Secondly, if you want to dissipate your cultivation and start over, you also need to know how to do it.
Directly severing one's meridians or shattering one's Qi Sea and Dantian... that's not dissipating one's power, but self-harm!
"In that case, it will be three days from now. I've been staying at the Imperial Grand Hotel for the next few days."
In addition, after dispersing one's energy, one will be extremely weak and will need to prepare more than 15 taels of precious ginseng to strengthen the body and restore one's vital energy. The better the quality of the precious medicine, the better.
There are also foods that greatly replenish qi and blood, with turtle and beef stews being the best, and ideally, the flesh and blood of a thousand-year-old mythical beast.
"Thank you, young master, I understand!"
Meng Tian suffered such a great injustice for him, so the Dragon Emperor would naturally not treat Meng Tian unfairly.
While the flesh and blood of ancient beasts may be unavailable, medicinal dishes made from turtles and beef are certainly plentiful, as the empire has more than enough resources.
"In that case, I, Zhang, will come again in three days."
"Zhao Gao, escort Young Master Zhang out of the palace on my behalf!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Gao bowed and withdrew from the hall, while the Dragon Emperor then looked at Meng Yi and said:
"In that case, let Meng Tian make the preparations."
Furthermore, I will prepare precious ginseng weighing over eighteen taels per pound to prolong your life, and I will also gather the finest blood-nourishing ingredients within the empire.”
"Your Majesty, your grace!"
Ginseng weighing over eighteen ounces is practically a miraculous medicine that has been around for ten thousand years.
···
"Young Master Zhang, Zhao Gao has a request!"
On the way, Zhao Gao led the way while giving Zhang Xiaoshan a fawning smile in a low voice.
Even Zhang Xiaoshan, upon hearing this, couldn't help but think of Zhao Gao's purpose in suddenly seeking him out.
"There is a practitioner of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill within the Net."
"How did you know, young master?"
Zhao Gao's expression changed; he hadn't expected Zhang Xiaoshan to guess his purpose so accurately.
And this is exactly what he's asking for this time!
He has remained at the peerless realm for many years, seemingly only a step away from becoming a grandmaster, but in reality, he is far from it.
The empowerment of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill is similar to the Evil Emperor's Relic.
The sudden surge in his internal energy, equivalent to a half-step Grandmaster level, might help him break through that bottleneck.
However, the Wedding Dress Divine Skill lacks the demonic nature of the Evil Emperor's Relic.
After all, the Wedding Dress Divine Skill is a Buddhist secret art of martial arts and Zen, an orthodox martial art. Its power is like heavenly thunder and earthly fire, domineering and unparalleled, and also extremely strong and yang.
"The Net is the empire's weapon of destruction, and Lord Zhao is not one to be subservient to others. Since Lord Zhao knows that His Majesty is preparing to have people cultivate the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, how could he not make plans for himself?"
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, sir."
To know about this, besides him and the Six Sword Slaves, only cultivators would know.
Zhang Xiaoshan could guess his purpose and ambition just from his words. Zhao Gao stared at Zhang Xiaoshan's calm and composed face and felt extremely wary.
The Zhang family's power is indeed formidable, but what's even more terrifying is that someone has seen through the entire web of intrigue.
Clearly, if he makes the slightest move, the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) would be nothing more than a roadblock in front of the Zhang family.
As for advancing to Grandmaster?
The Zhang family has at least five Grandmasters, making them far beyond his ability to offend.
"I wonder if you, sir, can offer any assistance?"
"It's a small matter, but I wonder what offer Lord Zhao can make to get me to take action?"
call!
I thought I'd have to beg, but it was so easy.
As for the chips?
Zhao Gao, of course, had no shortage of such things, so as he lowered his head, a reluctant smile playing on his lips:
"The eclectic scholar knew that the young master liked to collect rare treasures. Among the treasures in the net was an ancient stone inscription, which was said to be the celestial book of the ancient Shaodi tribe."
Young master, you are a scholar of profound learning; I wonder if you might be interested?
"Oh? Then I thank you very much, Lord Zhao."
As for whether or not I'm fooling myself?
Zhang Xiaoshan knew that Zhao Gao would never dare to tamper with this.
Offending the Zhang family would be a huge loss for Luo Wang.
After agreeing to meet the next afternoon, Zhang Xiaoshan left Xianyang Palace.
