Start with a space

Zhang Xiaoshan slowly walked out of the city gate, stopped, and looked into the distance.

In the distance under the sky, I saw mountains and rivers stretching endlessly, as if there was no end.

And among the layers of forests ahead, there is a winding dirt road. At this moment, there are many people walking on the road.

Some were driving horse-drawn carriages, some were driving ox-drawn carts loaded with goods, and some were carrying packages on one shoulder and walking slowly towards the city gate.

"The New Year is approaching, and I didn't expect so many people to come to Fenglin Town.

I guess these people are either going into the city to sell things or rushing back home to celebrate the New Year.”

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled slightly and whispered to himself.

He cast his eyes toward the winding dirt road ahead and murmured softly, "

It’s still a long way to go before we get back to Hongye Village on foot.

If I walk slowly, it might take me ten days.

However, I am now also an internal energy warrior, and I think I will be much faster if I use martial arts to travel directly."

After saying this, Zhang Xiaoshan began to circulate the Golden Body Strengthening Technique in his body.

In an instant, his feet were filled with strength, and there was a faint flow of air under his feet. This was the internal energy.

Zhang Xiaoshan took a step forward and his figure flashed.

At this moment, he was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, walking at quick pace, stepping on the dirt road and raising clouds of dust.

Zhang Xiaoshan walked briskly on the mountain road for half an hour with vigorous steps.

At this moment, he was surrounded by mountains, and the number of people on the road gradually decreased from the initial large number to almost no one around.

"He who comes is stopped!"

Just as Zhang Xiaoshan turned into a road in the mountains on the left, a voice suddenly came.

Then, a middle-aged man jumped up from a huge rock beside the road, landed on his feet, and stood three meters away in front of Zhang Xiaoshan.

Zhang Xiaoshan quickly stopped, glanced, and quickly scanned the area, and found two figures sitting on the huge rock on the inner side of the road.

One was a young man in gorgeous clothes, and the other was a middle-aged man. They were sitting on a boulder, looking down at him slightly.

“Just now this person fell from a three-meter-high boulder. It seems that he is a warrior.

What did he want to do by stopping me? "

Zhang Xiaoshan frowned, his eyes fell on the man in front of him again, and he thought to himself.

"Pharmacist Zhang, we have been waiting for you here for a long time. Our sudden appearance just now was indeed a bit abrupt. I hope you don't get startled."

Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan's alert look, the middle-aged man raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealed a smile, and spoke.

"Who are they? They know me and have been waiting here for so long?"

Zhang Xiaoshan was slightly stunned, muttering to himself, and after a pause, he asked directly:

What are you waiting for me for?"

The middle-aged man said, "Pharmacist Zhang, my young master and I..."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man turned around, pointed at the young man on the boulder on the inside of the road, and continued, "

We would like to invite you to visit our Chenjiabao today, and we hope you can honor us with your presence."

"I don't know you, and I have no interest in visiting Chenjiabao. Please move aside now and don't block the road."

Zhang Xiaoshan stared at the middle-aged man in front of him, clenched his hands secretly, shook his head slowly, and said.

"Ye Long, since Pharmacist Zhang doesn't want to honor you, just loosen his bones and take him away!"

The young man sitting on the boulder spoke loudly to the middle-aged man below.

"Yes, young master." Ye Long responded after hearing it.

Then, he took a step forward, his figure flashed, and he came to Zhang Xiaoshan quickly like a gust of wind. He stretched out his arm and slapped Zhang Xiaoshan fiercely.

"Ok?"

Zhang Xiaoshan frowned, and with quick eyes and hands, he slightly turned his body, took a step forward, and kicked out fiercely.

With a "bang", Ye Long was kicked in the chest. He staggered and fell to the ground.

"What do you want to do?"

Zhang Xiaoshan took a step back, looked at the three people with a slightly gloomy face, and said in a cold voice.

There was vigilance in his eyes and his hands were slightly clenched into fists, ready to respond to attacks at any time.

Then, the two people on the boulder jumped up and landed on the ground.

"Pharmacist Zhang, I didn't expect you to be a martial artist. I really didn't realize that."

The leading young man walked slowly towards Zhang Xiaoshan and said with a smile on his face.

"Master, I was careless just now. I will use my strength to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, this man is not honest."

At this moment, Ye Long stood up, turned around and looked at his young master and said.

The young man waved his hand and said:

Don't worry, this pharmacist is so young, but he looks like a skilled warrior. I just want to practice with him."

As he spoke, the young man looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with a smile on his face.

“I think Ye Long is just an average warrior, he is no match for me.

The boy in front of me is very young, and even if he fights, I guess he is no match for me.

As for the middle-aged man behind the young man, as long as he is not a warrior above the Inner Qi realm, they can’t do anything to me.”

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the three people, guessing in his heart, and then said:

What do you mean by wanting me to go to your Chenjiabao?"

The boy clenched his fist and said with a smile:

Pharmacist Zhang, your level of refining Qi and Blood Pills is well-known in Fenglin Town!

And my Chenjiabao has not yet trained a decent senior alchemist.

So, my father wants to invite you to work as a senior alchemist in my Chenjiabao.

As the young master of Chenjiabao, I personally want to invite you to my Chenjiabao."

The young man paused, then smiled and said, "But I see that you seem a little reluctant.

Pharmacist Zhang, if you agree readily, you can go to my Chenjiabao happily;

Otherwise…” At this point, the young man said with a threatening tone.

The boy's words revealed an attitude that would not be refused, and he did not take Zhang Xiaoshan seriously.

"I am currently refining Qi and Blood Pills at Taiji Pharmacy. I am living a comfortable life. I have no interest in going to Chenjiabao."

Zhang Xiaoshan straightened up, smiled slightly, and spoke in a firm tone.

"Pharmacist Zhang, the young master of my Chen Family Castle personally invited you to work as a senior alchemist in our Chen Family Castle, but you are so disrespectful. You really don't know how to appreciate it."

Ye Long and another middle-aged man beside the young man spoke to Zhang Xiaoshan in a cold voice.

Then, the two of them looked at the young man.

"Master, why should we be polite to Pharmacist Zhang?" Ye Long said:

On this desolate road, Ye Hu and I are both top-notch warriors.

With our strength, we can easily capture Zhang Yaoshi, tie him up, and take him directly back to our Chenjiabao. Isn't this more direct? "
