Start with a space

"Understood!"

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded.

At the same time, he recalled that when the original owner's deceased grandfather was buried, the original owner was penniless, and Xu An's father was one of the few people willing to help with the burial.

Thinking of the eight hundred taels of silver he had on him, and how he had no place to spend it, Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Xu An and said, "

I know one hundred taels of silver is very important to you.

Since you and I are from the same village and grew up together, and your father, Uncle Xu, has helped me, I will lend you a hundred taels of silver."

As he said that, he took out one hundred taels of silver and handed it over.

"Thank you, Brother Xiaoshan. After I finish learning martial arts for a year, I can work in the town to earn money and pay you back then."

Xu An took the silver happily and said quickly.

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled, nodded slightly, and said softly:

I hope you will become a powerful warrior."

"I will."

Xu An nodded heavily, tears flashing in his eyes. He tried hard not to let the tears fall and responded.

"Why is there so much silver in the hills?"

Chen Daha, who was standing aside, had a puzzled look on his face and thought to himself.

He hesitated and asked no more questions, so he turned to Xu An and said softly:

Xu An, your brother Xiaoshan is so generous to lend you one hundred taels of silver, you must cherish this opportunity.

After entering the Tai Chi martial arts hall, you must redouble your efforts in training and strive to become at least an ordinary early-stage martial artist within a year. Only then will you be worthy of the one hundred taels of silver."

"I will."

Xu An nodded repeatedly.

He naturally understood the weight of the one hundred taels of silver. It was a huge sum of money for anyone in Hongye Village.

Zhang Xiaoshan was willing to lend the one hundred taels of silver, and he will always remember this friendship.

Xu An looked at Chen Daha again and said, "

Uncle Chen, I don't know where the Tai Chi martial arts school is, can you take me there?"

"Okay!" Chen Daha nodded in response.

Chen Yi also smiled and said:

Uncle Chen, the Wang family doesn't accept people with five-element spiritual roots like me. Do you think I should go to the Zhao family or the Ma family?"

"It's better to go to the Zhao family of immortal cultivation!"

Chen Daha hesitated for a moment and said:

Let's go, let's accompany Xu An to the Tai Chi Martial Arts Hall first, and then accompany Chen Yi to the Zhao family's Xiuxian family."

After saying that, Zhang Xiaoshan took action with them.

The four of them first went to the Tai Chi martial arts gym together.

Along the way, Zhang Xiaoshan and Chen Daha chatted and laughed with Xu An and others. He told some interesting stories about his practice of magic. Xu An and the other three listened with great interest and showed longing from time to time.

After arriving at the Tai Chi Martial Arts Hall, Zhang Xiaoshan, Chen Daha and Chen Yi accompanied Xu An into the hall, and Xu An settled down smoothly.

Zhang Xiaoshan and the other three walked out of the martial arts hall with peace of mind.

During this process, Zhang Xiaoshan felt like he was in a whole new world, which opened his eyes.

He learned that in Fenglin Town, the Tai Chi Martial Arts School had a very high status in the martial arts world. Apart from the three immortal cultivation families, it was unique.

Moreover, many warriors are trained here. Every three years, one or two third-rate, second-rate or even first-rate warriors will walk out of the Tai Chi Martial Arts School.

This trip really broadened Zhang Xiaoshan's horizons.

However, he didn't care too much.

In his mind, no matter how powerful a warrior is, he can never compare to a powerful immortal master.

Afterwards, they accompanied Chen Yi to the Zhao family of immortal cultivation.

Arriving at the side door of the Zhao family's immortal cultivation talent testing place, Chen Yi quickly joined the queue waiting for the test.

Zhang Xiaoshan and Chen Dahao waited quietly and accompanied him.

"Haha, I have a talent for cultivating immortals!

I have four spiritual roots, and my fire and water spiritual roots have both reached the top grade!"

Suddenly, a clear and childish voice came from the front of the team.

"I never thought that my Zhao family would encounter such a talented child."

Then, another deep voice came out: "

Child, your fire spiritual roots and water spiritual roots have both reached the highest level, which is a remarkable thing.

Although you have four spiritual roots, but precisely because two of them have reached the top grade, your talent for cultivation is no weaker than that of an ordinary cultivator with three spiritual roots.

Today, I will accept you as my disciple.

I hope you can join my Zhao family of immortal cultivation. I promise that one day in the future you will be able to cultivate to the foundation-building stage..."

Zhang Xiaoshan was a little curious when he heard this voice, and whispered to himself:

If two of the four spiritual roots have reached the top grade, it is equivalent to the talent of an ordinary cultivator with three spiritual roots. What does this mean?"

After thinking about it, he guessed secretly:

If four of the four spiritual roots are of the highest quality, could it be possible that one's aptitude for cultivating immortals could surpass that of a person with three spiritual roots?"

He was somewhat confused, but after thinking about it and coming to no conclusion, he quickly put the question behind him.

After a while, Chen Yi finished the test, trotted over to Zhang Xiaoshan and Chen Daha, and said with a smile:

Uncle Chen, Brother Xiaoshan, I have been accepted by the Zhao Clan, and I must report in immediately. I cannot stay outside for too long."

"Well done!"

Chen Daha patted Chen Yi on the shoulder and encouraged him: "

After you enter, you must practice hard and strive to become an immortal master one day."

Chen Yi nodded confidently, looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and Chen Daha with gratitude, and then stepped into the Zhao family of immortal cultivation.

Zhang Xiaoshan and Chen Daha watched Chen Yi's figure disappear behind the door, looked at each other, and a relieved smile appeared on their faces.

Afterwards, Zhang Xiaoshan and Chen Daha bought daily necessities for the villagers of Hongye Village together, and then they went their separate ways.

Zhang Xiaoshan walked alone on the streets of Fenglin Town, his eyes casually scanning the surroundings.

I saw people coming and going on the streets, the quaint streets, and the shops and buildings, and I was filled with emotion.

Coming to Maple Forest Town today, he has a better understanding of the world and his horizons have broadened a little.

"I must become a powerful immortal master. Only in this way can I live better in this world."

Zhang Xiaoshan muttered to himself.

He vaguely felt that in this world, the weakest were ordinary mortals.

Here, almost all mortals are controlled by the immortal forces, and those who are slightly better than mortals are warriors.

However, even powerful warriors do not dare to provoke cultivators easily.

This made him understand that immortal cultivators possessed absolute power.

At the same time, he also learned that in some mountains and rivers near the villages, there were hidden wild beasts, strange beasts and monsters that posed a threat to mortals.

He knew very well that demon beasts were also very powerful beings in this world, and their strength was no weaker than that of immortal cultivators.

At present, Zhang Xiaoshan is aware of his own realm, which is still very low and his strength is also very weak.

He understood that at present, only by joining an immortal cultivation family and working hard to develop would he have the opportunity to go further.

Maybe one day, he will also be able to become a powerful cultivator and stand at the top of the world.

Unconsciously, Zhang Xiaoshan came to a big gate. He couldn't help but look up. In front of him was a tall house covering a large area, exuding an ancient atmosphere.

"We have arrived at the main gate of the Wang Clan so soon."

Zhang Xiaoshan whispered.

Before, on the street, he vaguely heard many people talking about the Wang family of immortal cultivation.

He learned that the Wang family's mansion was no less than five miles in area and was one of the largest mansions in Fenglin Town.

On both sides of the gate stood two middle-aged men.

They stood tall, with swords on their waists, their faces calm and serious, and their sharp eyes fixed on the front.

The four gatekeepers are all powerful third-rate warriors.

"As expected of the Wang family's gatekeeper, even the gatekeeper is a third-rate warrior."

Zhang Xiaoshan took a look and muttered: "

Previously, I accompanied Xu An to the Tai Chi Martial Arts School and learned that in Fenglin Town, only one in ten thousand people can become a third-rate martial artist.

Moreover, if third-rate warriors do not join the Immortal Cultivation Family, they are all well-known figures in the martial arts world. I really don’t understand why they come here to be guards?"

Zhang Xiaoshan hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward and walked towards the gate.

As he approached the gate, the guards' eyes shifted slightly to the side, looking at a token on his waist, and then retracted their gazes, as if they had no intention of stopping him from entering.

Zhang Xiaoshan walked to the door, paused, glanced at the four people, and then swaggered in.

"Who are you? Please stay!"

Suddenly, an indifferent voice was heard.
