As soon as she got the jade pendant, the old woman noticed the detonating charm that Zhang Xiaozu had placed on the jade pendant, and also noticed the small movements on Zhang Xiaozu's left hand.
She deliberately erased the detonating charm on the jade pendant, but she didn't have any bad intentions. She just wanted to tell Zhang Xiaozu that such a little trick was of no use to her.
But the smile on Zhang Xiaozu's lips and the seal still held in his left hand made the old woman frown, because she couldn't feel any other charms on the jade pendant.
But they didn’t know that after Zhang Xiaozu’s Meditation Talisman was blessed on the jade piece, it would become one with the jade piece, making it invisible to others except Zhang Xiaozu.
The old woman held the jade pendant and inspected it carefully. She didn't find anything else hidden on the jade pendant, so she threw the jade pendant back to Zhang Xiaozu and said, "I bought this jade pendant. Please wipe it clean."
After speaking, he raised his right hand, took out each jade box from the empty space, held it in the air in front of him with the power of stars, and said: "One box of one hundred pills, a total of ten boxes of one thousand pills."
"Ha--" Zhang Xiaozu brought the jade pendant to his mouth, breathed hot air on it, wiped it with his sleeve, raised it up and looked at the rising sun in the east, and said: "It's spotless,
Crystal clear, it can’t get any cleaner than this.”
"..." The old woman couldn't help but be speechless. She didn't mean what she meant by "wipe clean", so she cast a questioning look at Zhang Xiaopou.
Zhang Xiaozu gave her a sly and proud smile in return.
The old woman looked slightly startled, then shook her head and smiled bitterly. Zhang Xiaozu's sly and proud smile made her think that she had been fooled by Zhang Xiaozu, that there was actually nothing on the jade pendant, and that Zhang Xiaozu was deceiving her by holding on to the seal.
"Young master, the city is wonderful." The old woman raised her thumb and praised Zhang Xiaopou, then swept her right hand and pushed ten boxes of star pills in front of Zhang Xiaopou.
Zhang Xiaopou smiled without saying a word, threw the jade pendant to the old woman, and accepted the Star Pill at the same time.
He had already counted them carefully, and found that there were not many, not too many, but exactly one thousand.
The old woman caught the jade pendant, took a step back, and disappeared into the folding space.
"Senior." Zhang Xiaozu bowed his hands as a gift, and then shouted around: "In a moment, there will be a stall in front of our house selling some spiritual treasures and spiritual materials. There are many treasures that can nourish the soul. Please come from afar.
Friends who come here can take a look."
After saying that, he turned around and went back home.
Zhang Xiaozu first went to Yueyang Garden to visit Huang Daonv, and saw that she was still unconscious, so he was not very worried.
I wanted to take her to the Yaowang Valley in the south to seek medical treatment today, but Niu Dawa was not here. Without him, if I could travel thousands of miles in a flash, I would definitely be targeted by the powerful people lurking around the Guowei Mansion.
Shen Wenze increased the wanted reward for him to a thousand star pills, which attracted many unborn masters and traveled thousands of miles to find him.
Just like the old woman who just bought a jade pendant, her cultivation is unfathomable. Zhang Xiaozu cannot guarantee that he is her opponent. It would be really dangerous if he met her on the way to Yaowang Valley.
Zhang Xiaozhu had to suppress the anxiety in his heart, hoping that Niu Dawa would come back from the disaster quickly. If he couldn't come back after a few days, he would have no choice but to go to the palace and ask Su Hanlin for help.
At ten o'clock in the morning, a stall was indeed set up in front of Guowei Mansion.
The stall is seven feet wide and two feet long. It is filled with various spiritual materials, elixirs, weapons and techniques, and other items, as well as jade pieces blessed by Zhang Xiaozu, ranging from three to seven functions.
Except for the jade items that belonged to Zhang Xiaozhu himself, all the other things were stolen by him.
Because the price is low, business is very good.
By the time the stall was closed at night, more than 1,400 star pills had been sold, and someone spent 800 star pills to buy a jade pendant with six functions.
What made Zhang Xiaozhu laugh bitterly was that his stall was notified to the government office, and the people at the government office reported it to the tax department.
The people from the Taxation Department showed no respect to the Guowei Mansion and immediately sent people to collect taxes.
Zhang Xiaozu pieced together a few things, used his status as a marquis as a guarantee, wrote a note of debt, and paid more than five million taels in taxes with tears.
More than five million taels may seem like a lot, but if his today's revenue was converted into silver taels, the more than five million taels would probably not even be a fraction.
This is Dasu’s new tax system, and Zhang Xiaopeng has no choice but to comply with it.

At night, a thunderbolt fell into the Guowei Mansion, startling the sleeping and practicing people.
However, when they heard that the direction of the thunder was where Yu Chengyang and Zhang Xiaozu were, they turned over and continued to sleep or continue practicing.
"Hey, the Zhang family is so jealous."
"Double dragons carrying the coffin are a disaster rather than a blessing!"
The people living nearby saw that Guowei Mansion was often struck by lightning during this period, and rumors gradually began to spread.
It is said that the descendants of the Zhang family were not lucky enough to bear the burden of Su Hanlin and Su Hui Shuanglong carrying the coffin, and were jealous of God, so they continued to suffer divine punishment during this period.
Otherwise, they really can't understand why thunder strikes on a sunny day, and it doesn't hit other places, but only focuses on Guowei Mansion.
"This..." In the room, Zhang Xiaozu was speechless as he looked at the jade beads that were shattered by lightning.
He has practiced the ghost cultivation technique on the black jade slip to the tenth level, and his ghost power has been qualitatively improved. In addition, after he was promoted to the star realm, his Tao power and ghost power have improved. He just tried to bless the jade beads.
When I put on the Meditation Talisman, I never thought that it would attract thunder from the sky and directly chop the jade beads into pieces.
He originally wanted to help Yuzhu block this thunder, but Yu Chengyang stopped him and told him that it was a thunder tribulation. If he blocked it on his behalf, the meditation charm on the jade beads would dissipate immediately. Only those who could withstand the test of thunder tribulation could
can exist in the world.
"This kind of ordinary jade piece cannot withstand the power of thunder and lightning, so thunder gold jade is needed." Yu Chengyang said.
"What is Lei Jinyu?"
"Thunder strikes the ground and turns gold into jade. It is thunder gold jade, which is a kind of jade produced by thunder and lightning. It is usually produced in the land of thunder disaster and is very difficult to find."
"A place of thunder and tribulation?"
"There are some places that are very easy to attract lightning strikes due to the influence of terrain, geology, or celestial star arrays, so they are called places of thunder disaster."
"Oh. Uncle, do you have thunder gold jade?"
"No."
"Is anyone selling it? How many Star Pills can I buy for one piece?"
"If it's just an ordinary thunder gold jade, you can buy one piece with three to five grains. If it's a century-old jade, or older, you can sell it for dozens or hundreds of star pills."
"I'll go out and give it a try."
Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't wait to know how powerful the soul nourishing power of the jade piece that had withstood the test of thunder tribulation, so after learning the price of thunder gold jade, he immediately got up and left the room, stood in the yard and shouted to the night sky.
He said: "Does anyone have thunder gold jade? I would like to buy some."
The night was very quiet, and the sound was very loud. It spread to the homes of people around Guowei Mansion, causing a lot of dogs to bark.
Fortunately, Ye Wuyou and Qi Xiaoyao's rooms were soundproofed, otherwise they would have been awakened by Zhang Xiaozu's shouts and frightened into tears, and then Wan Qingqiu would have come to Zhang Xiaozu with a sword in hand and said something.
Zhang Xiaozu didn't get a response for a long time and was very disappointed. Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the room, he suddenly heard a voice from the sky in the north: "I have one, but it's very expensive."
"How expensive is it?" Zhang Xiaozu asked.
"Fifty Star Pills."
"I have to check the condition."
"Okay, go to the street in front of the door." This person knew that Guowei Mansion had set up a powerful array, so he asked Zhang Xiaopeng to go to the street in front to trade.
During this period, there were people breaking into the Guowei Mansion every night, but regardless of their level of cultivation, they all had no way of getting in and out, which shocked many people.
Zhang Xiaozhu didn't know Lei Jinyu, and he didn't know how to tell whether Lei Jinyu was good or bad, so he called Yu Chengyang together.
The man was already waiting in front of the Guowei Mansion when he saw Zhang Xiaopeng come out and take out a fist-sized, pointed and ridged translucent stone that was half khaki and half gray-black. It looked ugly.
If this thing were left on the side of the road and Zhang Xiaozu passed by, he probably wouldn't even take a second look.
This man was obviously afraid that Zhang Xiaopou would snatch it, so he kept a distance of more than ten steps from Zhang Xiaopou, and only held Lei Jinyu in his palm for Zhang Xiaopou to see.
"Can you bring it over and show me?" Yu Chengyang asked.
Seeing that this man was extremely vigilant, Zhang Xiaozu smiled dumbly and said: "If I want to snatch it, you won't be able to run away when you say you have it. You have been staying around the Weifu of our country for twelve days, you should know
I have this strength, so I should have some understanding of who I am as a person."
The man was shocked when he heard this and asked in fright, "How do you know I have been here for twelve days?"
"My subtle state of mind has reached the barrier-breaking state. Your folded space cannot block my prying eyes at all, including the expression on your faces.
However, there are some powerful ones, and I can only vaguely feel where they are hidden.
I think there should be something even more powerful that I can’t discover at all.”
As Zhang Xiaozu said this, he cupped his hands in several directions around him. Hidden in these positions were masters whom he vaguely felt were there.
As soon as these words came out, the people hiding in the surrounding folded space were all shocked and inexplicable, especially the masters who were greeted by Zhang Xiaozu.
In the sight of the pawn.
"Here." After hesitating for a moment, the man threw Lei Jinyu to Zhang Xiaozu.
Zhang Xiaozu took it in his hand, observed it briefly and handed it to Yu Chengyang.
Yu Chengyang held it in his hand and observed it carefully for a while, then shook his head and said: "With all due respect, this piece of thunder gold jade your Excellency does not have much value, because it is only a semi-finished product, half gold and half jade. If you really want to sell it, a star pill is enough."
That’s it.”
After saying that, he threw Lei Jinyu back.
The man's cheeks were slightly hot, obviously he was right by Yu Chengyang's words, but he quickly put away his shameful expression and said seriously: "Someone specifically asked for this kind of thunder gold jade that is half gold and half jade. I have gold in this piece of jade.
Jade wrapped in gold thread can be regarded as the best of half gold and half jade. Someone once offered forty star pills and I didn't even sell them."
"Ha ha……"
As soon as he finished speaking, several bursts of laughter suddenly rang out from all directions, amused by his ability to talk nonsense in a serious manner.
Zhang Xiaozu was anxious to use it and did not want to get in touch with this person. He took out two star pills from the mustard seeds and said, "I will give you two pills at most. If you don't want to sell it, then give up."
"Okay then." The man seemed a little reluctant and hesitated for a while before throwing Lei Jinyu to Zhang Xiaopou.
Zhang Xiaozu took Lei Jinyu, threw the two star pills over, and hurried back home.
"Uncle, can this thing be cut open?" Zhang Xiaozu returned to the room, looked at the irregular-shaped Lei Jinyu, and asked Yu Chengyang.
"Yes, but thunder gold jade is very hard and difficult to cut." Yu Chengyang replied.
"Uncle, please help me, if I want to cut it, how should I cut it?" Zhang Xiaozu put Lei Jinyu on the table, pushed it in front of Yu Chengyang, and then pulled out the bone knife from the mustard seed.
"Cut here and here, the quality is slightly better here." Yu Chengyang stretched out his fingers and made a few gestures at Lei Jinyu.
"Uncle, please step aside, let me try." Zhang Xiaopou raised the bone knife and wrapped the blade with the white tiger's divine power. When Yu Chengyang stepped aside, he immediately swung the knife and cut several times.
The sharpness of the white tiger's divine power, coupled with the sharpness of the bone knife, can cut gold and break stone easily. With just a few chissing sounds, the thunder gold jade was broken into five pieces.
Zhang Xiaozu first picked up the black piece. This piece was of the worst quality and had nothing to do with Lei Jinyu.
But Zhang Xiaozu still blessed it with the Meditation Talisman. After all, it was bought with two Star Pills and could not be wasted.
There was a rumble, and thunderclouds immediately gathered over the roof.
Click!
Soon a bolt of lightning fell, and the black gold and stone instantly turned into powder.
Zhang Xiaozu was already mentally prepared, so he picked up the second piece and blessed it with the Talisman of Calming Mind and Nurturing Soul.
Click!
Turn into powder.
The third piece.
Click!
Same fate.
The fourth piece.
Click!
Zhang Xiaozhu was very worried because he only had the last piece left, but it was also the one with the best quality.
Click!
When the thunder falls, the jade is still there.
"It's done...it's done!" Zhang Xiaozu said excitedly, staring at the intact jade.
Yu Chengyang flicked his finger at the jade, and a burst of energy shot towards the jade, knocking it away with a clang.
The jade stone hit the wall, fell to the floor with a clang, rolled around a few times, and was still intact.
He was confirming whether the jade stone had been damaged internally by the force of lightning. Although it looked intact on the outside, it was broken inside and would break into pieces after a slight collision.
However, the crisp impact sound told him that the jade was intact inside and out.
"It's done!" Yu Chengyang nodded and smiled.
Zhang Xiaozu grabbed the jade stone from the air and took it into his hand. Then a powerful spiritual soul nourishing force emanated from the jade stone and then penetrated into his palm.
"This... is too strong!"
Even though Zhang Xiaozu was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the soul-nourishing power emanating from the jade stone.
It just feels like a trickle, constantly pouring into the sea of consciousness between the eyebrows, and the soul is nourished by it, growing rapidly like a willow tree sprouting in warm spring.
"Bring it to me and try it." Zhang Xiaozhu's excited expression made Yu Chengyang's heart beat faster.
Zhang Xiaozu carefully handed the jade to Yu Chengyang's hand.
It obviously hit the wall just now and made a clanging sound when it fell to the ground without breaking into pieces, which shows that it is extremely hard. But at this moment, Zhang Xiaopou seemed to be holding an egg, fearing that it would accidentally fall to the ground and break.
Yu Chengyang took the jade and held it in his hand. After a few breaths, a strong thought suddenly came to his mind: "Grab it and run."
"This... I'm afraid something is going to happen!" He suppressed the thoughts in his heart, frowned and exclaimed.
With such a rapid growth rate of the soul, even an ordinary person, if he wears this jade from birth, by the time he reaches the age of sixty, his soul may be comparable to that of a saint.
The emergence of this kind of heaven-defying treasure, and the fact that it can be made so easily, could it be that it is trying to subvert the path of martial cultivation?
Yu Chengyang looked at Zhang Xiaozhu with deep shock, then his expression was startled and he was stunned.
He found that Zhang Xiaozu's fate was suddenly unclear.
