Chapter Twenty-Five: Treasure Pavilion

  In the Liu mansion, Liu Yinyin had a wronged expression as she cried to the man sitting in the first seat, while Zhang Tianbao, the future heir of the Zhang family, sat beside her.

  "Dad, this time you must stand up for your daughter and vent her anger, otherwise she won't have the face to stay in the Zhang family!"

  "Yes! Grandfather, you don't know how arrogant that little beast is. Look, he beat me up like this and still says next time he sees me, he'll kill me." Zhang Tianbao said with a look of having suffered a great injustice, the swelling on his face had not yet subsided.

  "That's enough!" Liu Heng shouted, his face showing disgust. "Look at the two of you, one is the mistress of the Zhang family and the other is the future heir of the Zhang family. Can't you find that little brat Zhang Wubing to show up?"

  "Dad, I've found the girl, but Wu Bing said there's nothing he can do. He said the master of the house has already put an end to this matter."

  "Old family head?" Liu Heng heard his daughter's words, and his eyebrows slightly furrowed, with a rapid change of expression on his face.

  "Ying'er, this matter is not so easy to handle. That young man has now been personally appointed by His Majesty as the General of the Ferocious Tiger Regiment of the Ferocious Tiger Corps. Although Father's position is higher than his, there are two factions in the military and government, and besides, the Qin family will not allow our Liu family to intervene in military affairs."

  Liu Yingying heard her father say this and immediately called out: "Dad, can't we just let the matter drop like this?"

  "Alright? Hmph! It's not that easy." Liu Heng's eyes sparkled with a sharp light, and he waved his hand: "You take Bao'er back to the Zhang family first, and let Father handle this matter."

  "Alright! Father, I'll take my leave first." Liu Yingying curtsied to Liu Tianbao and then left.

  Qin Xiao Tian's mansion is now hosting a grand banquet, Qin Xiao Tian, Zhang Hua Ming, Wang Rong, Hu Tian and the three brothers of Wang Hu are seated around a table, which is filled with all sorts of delicacies.

  On the second day, in the early morning, Kyoto's bustling streets began to stir as the sun rose. After settling his mother, Zhang Huaming walked alone onto the bustling streets of Kyoto, strolling and planning his future path in his mind. Unbeknownst to him, he arrived in front of a magnificent pavilion with golden tiles glistening in the sunlight.

  "Wow! Treasure Pavilion? What a magnificent name!" Zhang Huaming looked at the golden signboard, and his heart was secretly shocked for a moment. The next moment, his expression changed slightly, because he saw that the two people standing guard at the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion were actually high-ranking martial artists. To think that high-ranking martial artists would be willing to serve as guards, it's usually only close attendants who get such treatment! This is just too impressive!

  Zhang Huaming couldn't help but feel curious about the Treasure Pavilion, so he stepped forward and entered it. As soon as he entered the Treasure Pavilion, his eyes lit up again, because the decoration inside was extremely luxurious. The central pillar of the pavilion was actually supported by a gold-plated column, and the style around it was very elegant, giving people a feeling of wealth and nobility without being too flashy.

  "Excuse me, sir, are you here to buy or sell something?" A gentle voice sounded in Zhang Huaming's ear, and the next moment, a delicate-faced girl appeared in front of him.

  "Ah!" Zhang Huaming heard the girl's words and smiled on his face: "What can be bought here?"

  "As for Young Master's words, there are weapons, martial arts manuals, and elixirs here. I wonder what Young Master needs?" The girl responded straightforwardly without any shyness.

  "Dan medicine?" Zhang Huaming slightly hesitated when he heard this word, and immediately spoke up: "Then take me to the Dan medicine side to take a look."

  "Please follow me, young master."

  Dan medicine, is there still someone in this world who understands that refining dan is not successful? Zhang Huaming walked alongside the girl, his heart filled with shock. In his previous life, his master's secret chamber had two dan medicine formulas, and he had asked his master what level of cultivation was required to refine dan. His master had replied that without reaching the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top realm, it was impossible to refine dan, because the most basic requirement for refining dan was possessing true fire, which could only be obtained when one's cultivation reached the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top realm.

  The young girl led Zhang Huaming to the third floor of the attic and said, "Young master, this is the Dan medicine area. You can take a look around as you like, and if you need anything, just call me at any time."

  "Alright." Zhang Huaming put away the doubts in his heart, scanned the third floor attic with his eyes, and started strolling around to check the names of the elixirs displayed on the shelves.

  Huiyuan Dan: Function supplements Wuyuan.

  Hemostatic pill: Can quickly stop bleeding.

  Daliandan: After taking it, strength can be increased in a short period of time.

  Blast Furnace... Zhang Huaming glanced at the names and uses of the various medicinal pills on the first counter, and not only did he curl his lip in disdain, but also muttered to himself, "This place is simply daylight robbery! Take that Great Strength Pill for example. One pill costs a hundred taels of gold, which is enough for an ordinary family's expenses for a lifetime. And here, it can only buy one pill, and it's the cheapest kind at that."

  The girl who had just led Zhang Huaming upstairs seemed to see that Zhang Huaming had a somewhat disdainful expression, so she came back in front of him and smiled: "Young master, isn't there any satisfactory Dan medicine here?"

  "En!" Zhang Huaming nodded directly without hesitation, completely ignoring the sarcastic gaze of the sales staff standing at the counter. Although his master couldn't refine dan medicine in his previous life, don't forget that some technology on Earth can be substituted, so his master can also refine some low-grade dan medicine. Although they are low-grade dan medicine, their quality and effect are several times better than the dan medicine displayed here, which looks like those black and dull earthy pellets.

  The girl saw Zhang Huaming nodding, her expression changed slightly, and the next moment she smiled and asked: "May I be so bold as to ask, sir, what is your cultivation level?"

  "Oh! Do I need to consider my cultivation level when buying things here?" Zhang Huaming asked with a smile on his face, because he had already seen through the true strength of the girl in front of him - a high-level martial artist. Grandma's... how did she cultivate? Why are high-level martial artists like this treasure pavilion as common as cabbage by the roadside?

  "In response to your question, the Treasure Pavilion has four floors. The first three floors are open to ordinary cultivators, while the fourth floor is exclusively for purchasing by senior members of the Wu Zong sect."

  "Ah!" Zhang Huaming heard this sentence, his curiosity arose, and he smiled and teased: "Then how do you distinguish between Wu Zong's cultivation?"

  "It's simple. If one's cultivation reaches the Wu Zong realm, they will encounter a resistance when going up to the fourth floor. On the other hand, if one's cultivation has not reached the Wu Zong realm and they go up to the fourth floor, they will be bounced back."

  "Oh! That's interesting! Haha! Let's go to the fourth floor then!" Zhang Huaming said, and directly walked towards the stairs leading to the fourth floor.

  "What?" The staff on the third floor were also shocked, and many people who came to buy saw this scene and were shocked! Wu Zong's boundary? This... Many people thought they had misheard or their eyes were blurred.

  As he stepped onto the fourth floor attic staircase, Zhang Huaming's body trembled slightly, and in the next moment, he took big strides towards the direction of the fourth floor. The speed of his walking was normal at first, but when he reached the last few steps on the fourth floor, his body seemed to have been subjected to some great pressure, and he actually stopped on the stairs.

  "Grandma drop, it's incredible! How can there be an array method here too?" Zhang Huaming was shocked at this moment, because he saw that the fourth floor of Zhenbao Pavilion actually used array methods to test the cultivator's level, and the array method here was also one he was familiar with - Gravity Array. If his cultivation had not reached the Wu Zong realm, he really couldn't withstand the five-fold gravity compression.

  Actually, Zhang Huaming was shocked at the same time, and there were two pairs of eyes staring at him on the fourth floor. The owners of these two pairs of eyes were also startled in their hearts.

  "Tian Shu, this person's cultivation won't really reach the Wu Zong realm, will it?" A voice like a yellow oriole rang out.

  "Miss, this young man's cultivation has indeed reached the Wu Zong realm, and I feel that his true combat power is probably enough to rival a mid-to-high level Wu Wang." A middle-aged man respectfully said to a young girl.

  "What? Uncle Tian, this can't be possible!" The woman's eyes widened in shock, her face filled with a stunned expression.

  The man called Tian Shu nodded without hesitation and said, "Miss, I'm absolutely sure, and don't forget that I'm quite sensitive to aura."

  "How can he have achieved such a high level of martial arts at such a young age? Tian Shu, can you tell which one of the four major sects this person is from?"

  The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Miss, this subordinate really can't see through it. He shouldn't be a disciple of the Four Great Sects, right? If he were a disciple of the Four Great Sects, they wouldn't let him out, after all, it's too dangerous."

  The girl heard the middle-aged man's words, and her facial expression changed several times before revealing a surprised look: "Tian Shu, since he is not from one of the four major sects, can we take him in as one of our own?"

  The middle-aged man was slightly stunned when he heard this, his facial expression changed several times before he said solemnly: "Miss, have you forgotten our identities?"

  "Uh!" The girl heard this sentence from the middle-aged man, and her originally cheerful expression suddenly dimmed, with a depressed look on her face.
