Immortal Opportunity Appears Again! Profound Dragon Venerable's Legacy! True Dragon Essence Blood! True Dragon Egg!

Aside from the Village Chief, the other young men handed what they had brought to Li Lan and left.

They still had to work and earn money. Missing the time would mean trouble.

The Village Chief also entered the room with Li Lan.

Seeing the extraordinarily handsome youth on the bed, the Village Chief felt a surge of emotion.

He had never expected that, after only a few days apart, the youth who had once been covered in scars would undergo such a tremendous change.

Perhaps not even the Young Masters of the prefecture city possessed such bearing.

Village Chief Zhang Shuo walked to the bedside and placed the steaming meal in his hands on the table.

"This junior, Zhang Xuanchen, greets the Village Chief."

Sitting on the bed, Zhang Xuanchen offered the Village Chief a simple greeting.

"Good, good. Rest here and recover from your injuries these next few days. Do not be impatient.

"My family stewed fish today. Eat some—it will help your recovery."

Zhang Shuo had been a Third-rate Martial Artist in his youth, after all, so he could naturally tell that the youth before him was no ordinary person.

But since the other party did not speak of it, he would not ask, lest he invite disaster.

"Thank you, Village Chief. Once my injuries heal, I will surely repay you."

Zhang Xuanchen nodded and accepted. If he refused, it would only make them uneasy.

Seeing Zhang Xuanchen agree, the Village Chief's smile deepened.

He felt much more at ease as well.

Just as he was about to leave, Zhang Xuanchen asked:

"Village Chief, may I ask whether this is within the Qing Kingdom?"

"Young friend, you are correct. This is indeed the Qing Kingdom. Our Little Village belongs to Wuhe County."

Hearing that it was indeed the Qing Kingdom, Zhang Xuanchen nodded.

He knew of the Qing Kingdom. Before coming to the Dragon Mountain Range, he had learned about the surrounding powers.

It was a kingdom founded by the Golden Core Family, the Qin Clan, and had stood for more than a thousand years.

There were quite a few cultivation forces within its borders, and each of the Four Royal Cities had a teleportation array leading to Black Dragon Immortal City.

Returning would not be difficult.

"To tell you the truth, I came down the mountain this time to seek an Immortal Opportunity in the Qing Kingdom."

Hearing that Zhang Xuanchen had come in search of an Immortal Opportunity, the Village Chief showed a look of understanding.

He said, "If Young friend wishes to seek an Immortal Opportunity, you must go to the prefecture city. I have heard that immortals have been seen there.

"However, I have never been there myself.

"The journey is long, the mountains high and roads far, and Bandits are everywhere. Even second-rate and First-rate Martial Artists may lose their lives through the slightest carelessness.

"If Young friend is determined to go, you must be careful."

"This junior will remember."

After chatting for a few more moments, the Village Chief rose and departed.

Zhang Xuanchen looked at Li Lan and the other two in the room and said:

"Aunt Lan, sit down and eat with me. I cannot finish all this by myself."

There was still some time before the meal hour, and Li Lan had not yet cooked.

The three of them were already so hungry that their chests clung to their backs.

After all, for the impoverished, two meals a day were already an extravagant luxury. Most people ate only one meal a day.

"No. This is for you, and we cannot eat it. Do not try to fool me either. Martial Artists have great appetites. This food may not even be enough for you."

Her husband had at least been a scholar and had seen a fair bit of the world.

Naturally, he would tell his wife beside his pillow about the things he saw and heard.

Zhang Qingqing at the side nodded repeatedly as well.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuanchen no longer insisted. In a few days, he could simply go into the mountains and hunt some prey to repay them.

It was not worth fussing over one meal.

But if they would not eat, Zhang Tiedan could, right?

"Iron Egg, come over and eat with me. Didn't you want to learn martial arts?

"Once we finish eating, I will teach you. If you do not eat, I will not teach you."

The reason he had offered to teach Zhang Tiedan martial arts was naturally to find an excuse to remain here for a while.

He dared guarantee that, at this very moment, the Purple Cloud Sect, Tianlan Sect, Xiao Clan, and even other forces had heavily sealed off every major teleportation array.

Then they would investigate them one by one.

Because he would have done the same in their place.

Therefore, staying in this remote little village for a while could not be wrong.

It would not be too late to leave after they gave up or relaxed their investigations.

Of course, he had another purpose: giving Zhang Tiedan a future.

If the boy happened to possess a Spiritual Root, he would also have the strength to go to the prefecture city and seek an Immortal Opportunity.

When Zhang Xuanchen voluntarily offered to teach Iron Egg martial arts, Li Lan and Zhang Qingqing exchanged glances, each seeing surprise and delight in the other's eyes.

They immediately urged Zhang Tiedan to kneel and take him as his master.

The facts proved that Zhang Xuanchen had guessed correctly.

At this time, every market town and immortal city with teleportation arrays within hundreds of thousands of li around the Dragon Mountain Range had been sealed off by members of several major forces, who conducted investigations step by step.

Naturally, they did not dare directly inspect the Storage Bags or Storage Rings of people from forces on their own level.

They even launched a comprehensive investigation into Zhang Xuanchen.

Yet they found no leads whatsoever.

In just these three short days, Zhang Xuanchen had changed identities nine times.

It would have been strange if they could find him.

The high-handed attitude of these major forces also aroused public outrage. Some unlucky disciples even tried to force their way through Evil Cultivator disciples and were directly slain.

For this reason, the grand investigation campaign quietly fell apart on the twentieth day.

The Qin Clan, Black Dragon True Person, Xiao Clan, Tianlan Sect, and other forces all announced that they would abandon the search, turning their attention instead to Withered Wood True Person, whose attitude had originally been so forceful.

Only the Purple Cloud Sect still stubbornly persisted, though they had basically lost all hope and had become utterly slack.

Qing Kingdom, Anyang Prefecture City, Horizon Restaurant.

Two young men clad in Purple Cloud Sect Disciple robes drank themselves senseless in a private room.

One of them, a youth who resembled Zhao Tianhai somewhat, complained, "I do not know what is wrong with Grandfather. He insists that we keep searching for that naked brat.

"Withered Wood True Person already said that he cultivated the Breath Concealment Technique and possesses a Disguise Artifact.

"That alone proves this person is extremely cautious.

"The cultivation world is so vast. He could casually hide in some remote mountains or old forest—how are we supposed to find him?

"Even if we searched ourselves to death, we would never find him."

The speaker was Zhao Tianhai's grandson, Zhao Wu.

Hearing him, the youth beside him gave a bitter smile. "What else can we do? Your grandfather is an elder with real authority in the sect. Even the Sect Leader must give him some face."

Yet Zhao Wu truly did not care. With unfocused eyes, he said, "Grandfather merely throws his weight around by relying on the Ancestor. I, Zhao Wu, disdain keeping company with him.

"Hong Ming, you should know what kind of person I am."

Hearing this, disdain flashed through Hong Ming's eyes.

Do you not know how arrogant you are in the sect?

But he only dared say that in his heart.

"Yes, yes, yes. Brother Wu, everything you say is right."

Little Village.

Zhang Xuanchen carried a fierce tiger from the mountains on his shoulders and arrived at the center of the village amid the villagers' praise.

He drained all the tiger blood into an iron cauldron.

Then he added all kinds of mountain ginseng and medicinal herbs. Zhang Xuanchen even secretly added several First-grade Low-tier spirit herbs with mild medicinal properties into the cauldron.

Zhang Xuanchen had asked the villagers to prepare all of these.

On the third day after he began teaching Zhang Tiedan martial arts, he realized that teaching only him would definitely not work. It might even provoke dissatisfaction among the villagers and cause them to do something insane.

Though Zhang Xuanchen did not think it would happen, he had always been cautious, so he chose to gather every youth in the village between six and twenty years old and teach them together.

The Village Chief's eldest grandson, Zhang Hao, who already had a solid foundation, successfully broke through to become a Third-rate Martial Artist three days earlier.

Zhang Xuanchen was quite satisfied with this. After he left, Zhang Hao would be able to lead them in martial arts training.

Looking at the twenty-three youths standing before the great cauldron, preparing to temper and forge their bodies,

a trace of heroic martial spirit rose within Zhang Xuanchen's heart. If this were the mortal martial world, these twenty-three would surely become the foundation capable of stirring the winds and clouds.
