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

The Zhang family member who is famous throughout the world and was recently granted the title of King of the East Sea.

The Lü family was even more incredulous.

Originally, it was just to find a husband for her youngest daughter, but unexpectedly, her in-laws turned out to be the legendary Zhang family.

The powerful families and ancient clans of the Nine Provinces are no match for the Zhang family at this moment.

The Zhang family's strength lies not only in its power but also in its profound heritage. The legendary East Sea base alone is like the ancient Mo family's mechanical city, which has been passed down for thousands of years. It can be said to be the most mysterious and unfathomable existence in the Nine Provinces.

Below them were Lord Lü, the magistrate of Pei County, a group of county officials, local gentry, and so on...

Beside Lü Gong were two stunningly beautiful young women: one was the charming and dignified 'Da Qiao' Lü Zhi, and the other was the lovely and charming 'Xiao Qiao' Lü Su, truly a pair of the two Qiao sisters from Pei County.

At this moment, the two women were also shocked as they looked at the young man at the head of the table. They never expected that Zhang Sheng's elder would look so young!

For women, eternal youth is a lifelong pursuit.

"Piaoxu, bring up the fine wine and tea you brought this time."

"Yes, son!"

Although it was the Lü family, the Zhang family had already decided on the marriage alliance when they met the Lü sisters.

In terms of appearance and temperament, she and Zhang Sheng are a good match.

Empress Lü Zhi's destiny as a phoenix maiden and Lü Su's childlike innocence are both extremely rare talents.

A virtuous wife and a perfect couple can save Zhang Sheng some trouble in the future.

Watching Liu Sheng Piaoxu depart, everyone realized that besides the legendary hidden bronze-armored warrior, Zhang Xiaoshan also had a Japanese female warrior by his side.

Moreover, she was a rather legendary female warrior!

It is said that his Japanese ninjutsu was superb, and his samurai swordsmanship was unparalleled. He was one of the eight great sword gods appointed by Zhang Xiaoshan.

The key is that it can be used for multiple purposes, such as warming the bed, making tea, and playing the piano.

However, only someone like Zhang Xiaoshan is worthy of such an extraordinary woman.

After all, any one of Liu Sheng Piaoxu's skills is a master-level skill that is unparalleled in the world, making her a rare and extraordinary woman.

Ten breaths later, Liu Sheng Piaoxu returned, carrying a jar of fine wine weighing about thirty catties and a jar of tea with simple packaging.

But everyone knew that what Zhang Xiaoshan had brought out was no ordinary thing.

Sure enough, as the tea was brewed, a refreshing aroma filled the entire hall, causing many self-proclaimed literati to gaze longingly at the artful tea-brewing process of Liu Sheng Piaoxu.

Master-level tea ceremony, the treasures left behind by the millennium-old tea king, the finest tea utensils...

Even Lu Gong was filled with envy.

This is true enjoyment, with not only the finest tea but also top-notch tea masters.

call!

A whole purple clay teacup, silently appeared before everyone as Liu Sheng Piaoxu waved his sleeve.

Apart from the Zhang father and son, everyone else only saw Liu Sheng Piaoxu wave his sleeves, and several cups of tea magically appeared in front of them.

Such methods are appalling.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please..."

"Your Majesty, please!"

The solemn and quiet atmosphere was broken at this moment. The fragrant tea went down the throat, making everyone feel as if they were immersed in the carefree nature, in a state of tranquility and serenity.

A cup of tea, like a calming balm, helped everyone relax and gradually calm their minds.

Such tea ceremony made Lü Zhi, who was standing to the side, extremely envious.

As the chosen one, Lü Zhi was the only one present who recovered quickly from the shock.

He was also the one who knew best the changes in everyone's behavior before and after the tea ceremony. Before, in front of Zhang Xiaoshan, no one dared to breathe loudly, and even Lu Gong was in a daze.

After drinking a cup of tea, the light in his eyes clearly returned to calm and rationality.

Is this considered a skill at the level of a tea master?

"When I was young, I traveled to Jiangnan and saw your handsome appearance."

Unexpectedly, twenty years have passed, and while the young master remains as dashing as ever, I, Lü, have grown old and gray.

At this time, Lü Gong was only in his early fifties, having just turned thirty twenty years ago.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan and Lü Gong were of the same age, and Liu Ze, the magistrate of Pei County and a friend of Lü Gong, was also of ordinary age.

Looking at Zhang Xiaoshan, they wondered why, though both were around fifty years old, their hair was already white while Zhang Xiaoshan was still in his prime.

"It's just a little trick, but it can be considered a skill learned from childhood."

·········Requesting flowers·· 0

"Tongzigong?"

"The Taoist Qi cultivation technique, which must be practiced from childhood, does not require one to be a virgin. Only those with profound skill can maintain their youth and agelessness."

Seeing the surprised looks on everyone's faces, Zhang Xiaoshan explained.

This caused everyone to sigh, and at the same time, they looked at Zhang Sheng, thinking that Zhang Sheng would surely become such a divine being in the future.

But the girls in the Lü family, once they grow old and lose their beauty...

After all, the ladies of the Zhang family were rumored to be members of the bandit world, each with extraordinary martial arts skills.

"As for the two young girls from the Lü family, the Zhang family has a quick way to train them. Although there are some drawbacks, it's not a problem."

"We can do that too?"

The Lü sisters looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief.

When they heard about the "Boyhood Skill," they thought there was no hope, but they never expected that the Zhang family had a quick way to achieve it.

... ...

"As you become members of the Zhang family, these things will naturally not be stingy with you."

"Young master, my youngest son and my daughter Lü Su are in love, but my eldest daughter Lü Zhi is still unmarried!"

Hearing that Zhang Xiaoshan planned to take both of the Lu family's daughters in one fell swoop was not a good thing for their reputation, and it would also make the Lu family look like they were trying to climb the social ladder.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't help but smile slightly, and looked at Lü Zhi, saying:

"A rare phoenix eye shape, a destiny destined to be an empress."

Ping An is the eldest son of the Zhang family and is destined to inherit the Donghai Prince's Mansion. However, Su'er has a pure heart and is not good at controlling others.

Pheasant is destined for wealth and honor, possessing the qualities to bring prosperity to her husband. She can be a peaceful and virtuous wife, helping him manage the Eastern Sea Prince's mansion. Moreover, with the sisters united, there will be no trouble within the household.

A phoenix-like eye! A destiny destined to be an empress!

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lü Zhi in disbelief, never expecting that the eldest daughter of the Lü family would have such a noble destiny.

Zhang Sheng's initial 'impulse' immediately subsided.

If an ordinary person said this, perhaps no one would believe it, but Zhang Xiaoshan's assertion made everyone look at Lu Gong with envy.

"Before this, Zhang had someone look at the faces of the two noble ladies of the Lü family."

If she were a woman of ordinary fate, Zhang would not have become such a villain.

However, the Zhang family had two sons in one generation. Zhong'er was the eldest son of the Zhang family and was required to inherit the Zhang family's ancestral business.

As the eldest son of the Zhang family, Ping An could only be left by Zhang the Eastern Sea Prince's Mansion, encompassing the plains beyond the Great Wall, Korea, and Japan. Therefore, Zhang felt somewhat offended and wished for the sisters to be of one mind!

Chapter 805 Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade Marrow, Udumbara Flower, Peerless Divine Weapon

The Zhang family's ancestral property? The Prince of Donghai's mansion?

In feudal times, the eldest son of the legitimate wife was the heir. Although Zhang Sheng was the eldest son of the Zhang family, he was born to Manager Feng and was therefore considered an illegitimate son.

To outsiders, inheriting the Donghai Prince's Mansion was considered a chaotic undertaking.

But now Zhang Xiaoshan explains that Zhang Zhong is the eldest son of the Zhang family and inherited the family business.

What is the Zhang family's ancestral business?

Everyone knew perfectly well that the Zhang family's ancestral business was now unparalleled in the entire country.

To place one's ancestral legacy above that of a king of a different surname—only this man in the entire lands would dare to speak with such arrogance.

However, a hint of joy flashed in Lü Zhi's eyes.

As Zhang Xiaoshan described her as having "phoenix eyes," a destiny destined to be an empress, she was naturally unwilling to be ordinary and harbored her own ambitions.

If Zhang Sheng were to become the next King of Donghai, it would be in accordance with her destiny.

Even if "733" knew she had a phoenix destiny, it didn't necessarily mean she could rise to prominence.

And now there is a towering tree, and the phoenix rising from the ashes, spreading its wings to the heavens, is right before our eyes.

Moreover, given the Zhang family's strength, she may very well become a true phoenix in the future.

"What you say is true, young master. Although my daughter's fate is noble, she is ultimately just a phoenix in a chicken coop, unfit for a refined setting!"

Zhang Xiaoshan was not surprised at all by Lü Gong's second refusal.

However, he knew that Lü Zhi had already fallen for him. For a man to pursue a woman is like climbing mountains; for a woman to pursue a man is like piercing a thin veil.

Therefore, he doesn't need to bring it up again; Lü Zhi will find an opportunity to rise to prominence and become a phoenix.

No one is born knowing everything.

The more you see, the broader your horizons become, and naturally your temperament develops; you also learn some new things.

"Su'er, I've come today for your marriage. This gift was specially prepared on the way; it's a rare, ten-thousand-year-old cold jade marrow, strengthened by my own merit. Wearing it will grant eternal youth!"

He pulled out a jade pendant from his waist, which looked like white mutton fat jade. The carving was so exquisite that it was done by a master craftsman.

Moreover, as the jade pendant appeared in Zhang Xiaoshan's palm, a chill swept over him, causing the temperature in the entire hall to drop by three degrees, making everyone shiver.

Ten-thousand-year-old cold jade marrow?

If it is called a treasure, this jade is absolutely the most precious treasure in the world.

But wearing such a cold object on one's body might be too much for the body to handle, and one might not even reach the age of thirty.

However, on the other hand, this thing did not exude any coldness on Zhang Xiaoshan's body, and it was not something that ordinary people could wear.

"Susu, why don't you thank your father?"

Zhang Sheng was overjoyed to see the ten-thousand-year-old cold jade marrow, never expecting Zhang Xiaoshan to bring out such a precious item.

Items that require merit points to enhance are basically priceless treasures.

He knew that his aunt possessed a ten-thousand-year-old cold jade bead, but it was not as high-grade as this ten-thousand-year-old cold jade marrow. However, its significance was different. Later, it was given to his younger sister and inlaid on the Kunwu sword.

Moreover, this ancient jade marrow was of little use to Huang Rong.

But it's different for Lü Su. Carrying this ten-thousand-year-old cold jade marrow is like carrying a cold jade bed, which can make up for the problem of insufficient foundation.

Seventeen-year-old Lü Su had already missed the best age for cultivating true qi.

"Thank you very much, Uncle."

Lu Su looked at the jade pendant radiating cold energy in Zhang Xiaoshan's hand, and stepped forward to respectfully accept it.

Lu Su had expected the chalcedony to be extremely cold, but when she held it in her hands, she found that it was only slightly cool and not chilling at all.

A treasure is always a treasure!

"Also, this is for you."

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Xiaoshan sent a seemingly withered flower into Lü Su's hand.

It resembled a snow lotus, but in Pei County, a remote and impoverished place, no one had ever seen such a treasure. They simply looked at the withered flower with curiosity in their eyes.

"This flower is called Udumbara, a rare and wondrous flower from the Tianshan Mountains. It can cleanse the marrow and bones, preserve youth forever, and even restore youth."

Since you and Sheng'er are in love, you cannot remain ordinary people forever. Therefore, your aptitude for cultivation is extremely important.

Consuming it will replenish your vital energy and allow you to quickly become a top master in the martial arts world of Kyushu.

Only then will you be qualified to consider yourself a member of the Zhang family.
