Hundredfold Return: Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger, Thousand Mile Divine Travel Talisman!

Who's calling me?

Xiao Yang walked along the road, thinking he was hearing things.

Soon, he returned to his residence and had the maid Huangli guard the door, as he intended to go into seclusion to cultivate tonight.

[Ding! Host gifted "Spirit Grade High Rank" Yue Wu's Art of War, triggering a reward!]

[Hundredfold Return: "Emperor Grade High Rank" Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger.]

[Ding! Host gifted "Spirit Grade Mid Rank" Amulet, triggering a reward!]

[Hundredfold Return: "Emperor Grade Mid Rank" Thousand Mile Divine Travel Talisman.]

[Extract immediately?]

What a huge profit!

Seeing the System's notification, Xiao Yang was incredibly excited.

He hadn't expected that the amulet blessed by the Abbot of Tianlong Temple would also be considered a Spirit Grade treasure and trigger a return.

"Extract immediately!"

The next moment, light flashed, and a combat skill manual and a purple talisman appeared before Xiao Yang.

He first picked up the purple talisman and examined it.

[Thousand Mile Divine Travel Talisman: Can be bound by dripping blood, activated by thought, and used to teleport to any location within a thousand miles according to one's will.]

Xiao Yang bit his fingertip and dripped a drop of blood onto it.

The next moment, he felt a profound and mysterious connection between himself and this Thousand Mile Divine Travel Talisman.

When he closed his eyes, he could sense the entire Xuelong Pass, and even farther places, including mountains, rivers, and seas. With just a thought, he could arrive anywhere.

This is too overpowered!

Xiao Yang was immensely shocked. This kind of one-time use Emperor Grade item was even more overpowered than divine weapons and sharp tools.

This meant that if he encountered danger in the future, he could instantly escape and teleport to any place he desired with just a thought.

This was simply a divine artifact for traveling, killing, and plundering!

It was a shame it was single-use; it would disappear after one use!

Afterward, Xiao Yang turned his gaze to the combat skill manual and began to flip through it.

Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger!

The Martial Ancestor's signature technique from his youth!

Half a finger shakes heaven and earth, one finger imprisons heaven and earth, two fingers shatter mountains and rivers, three fingers extinguish all living beings, four fingers break the firmament, five fingers move the universe.

This martial art was incredibly domineering, specializing in dealing with all forms of defiance. It was practically a rogue's move, no less effective than a surprise blow or smashing with a brick!

[Ding! Detected host cultivating a martial skill, automatically triggered the Double Pupils' "Enlightenment" Spiritual Power.]

[Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger, cultivated to the perfect realm.]

"It's done!"

Xiao Yang's expression was ecstatic. He felt as if he had cultivated for decades, practicing countless moves, and had finally brought this combat skill to its perfect state.

"Half a finger shakes heaven and earth!"

He suddenly raised his hand and pointed forward.

"Boom!"

Terrifying energy surged at his fingertip, tearing apart the surrounding air. The power of a single finger could split mountains and shatter rocks, overturn seas and rivers.

"It's a pity my cultivation is too low right now, so I can only practice the 'Half a finger shakes heaven and earth' part. But at least I have the power to fight now!"

Xiao Yang was very satisfied with this ultimate technique.

He was a Third-grade Martial Artist, possessing a physical strength of one thousand jin.

However, with the enhancement of the Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger, a single strike would unleash a terrifying power of ten thousand jin, a tenfold increase.

This was equivalent to the full-power strike of a Fourth Grade Spirit Refining realm martial artist!

With such cultivation, he could be considered a commander-level figure in the army.

Xiao Yang was confident that with a little more time, he would be able to grow to a point where everyone would look at him with admiration.

He could even crush the so-called prodigy, Xiao Junlin, under his feet!

The next morning.

"Young Master, are you awake? This servant has something to report!" Huangli knocked on the door and said respectfully.

"Come in!" Xiao Yang said.

Huangli pushed the door open and saw Xiao Yang sitting cross-legged on the bed.

His face was like jade, his brows like swords, his eyes like stars, and his bearing was imposing. He exuded the gentle and refined temperament of a true gentleman.

"Young Master is truly perfect!"

Huangli let out an internal sigh of admiration, her pretty face flushing, her heart fluttering.

She was Xiao Yang's personal maid, serving him day and night. But lately, for some reason, whenever she saw Xiao Yang, she felt her body heat up and her heart pound like a drum...

In fact, this was due to Xiao Yang's Innate Yin-Yang Sacred Body, which acted like a Male Succubus, exerting a powerful attraction on the opposite sex.

And the more beautiful a woman was, the more pronounced the effect.

Before, the female Master Teacher Yan Ruyu had practically begged to throw herself into his arms.

"Huangli, what are you holding?"

Xiao Yang suddenly noticed she was holding a large pile of things.

"Young Master, I was just about to report! This morning, Young Master Ma Wencai of the Ma Family in Cangzhou suddenly sent over a hundred silver notes, totaling one hundred thousand taels!" Huangli reported.

One hundred thousand taels of silver?

Hearing the amount, even though Xiao Yang had been mentally prepared, he was still greatly surprised.

Having been in this world for several months, he had a general understanding of the prices.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, one tael of silver had the purchasing power of one thousand yuan on Blue Star.

That meant one hundred thousand taels of silver was equivalent to one hundred million yuan, enough to recruit soldiers, buy horses, and do many things.

Moreover, Xiao Yang had just turned eighteen. According to custom, he should soon be able to establish his own household, separate from the family, and even be granted his own fiefdom.

But all of that would have to wait until after next month's Azure Cloud Grand Examination.

"Huangli, you can be in charge of these silver notes for now! Next, go into the city and see if you can find a suitable residence for me. Also, find some household servants and guards!" Xiao Yang instructed.

"With so much money, how could I possibly be worthy..."

Huangli, however, was filled with trepidation.

"Huangli, there's no need to refuse. You're the only one I can trust around me!" Xiao Yang said.

"Young Master..."

Tears welled up in Huangli's eyes. She wished she could give her life to repay his trust.

Xiao Yang, however, sighed inwardly. If this were his previous life on Blue Star, a beautiful girl like Huangli, a Campus Belle, would surely have countless admirers fawning over her.

But here in the Prince's Estate, she took pride in serving Xiao Yang...

"Stomp, stomp, stomp!"

Suddenly, footsteps were heard from outside, and then a woman walked in.

She was in her early twenties, dressed in fine silks and adorned with agate jewelry. Her eyes sparkled, and she was stunningly beautiful.

She was undoubtedly a top-tier beauty!

"Third Sister-in-law, what brings you here?"

Xiao Yang raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

He recognized the woman instantly. Her name was Qiao Niannu, the secondary consort of his Third Brother, Xiao Li. Her father was a civil official in a certain prefecture of the Northern Territory.

"Ninth Highness, your reputation soared at the Lanting Poetry Gathering last night, a truly astonishing debut! And your Third Brother sent me to inform you that he is hosting a Thousand Charms Banquet at Tianxiang Pavilion tonight and has specifically invited you!"

Qiao Niannu stated her purpose.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang's brow furrowed.

If there was anyone in the entire Prince's Estate he least wanted to deal with...

It wasn't the high and mighty King Zhenbei!

Nor was it the arrogant Eldest Prince Xiao Junlin!

It was his Third Brother, Xiao Li.

Rumor had it that the Imperial Astronomer had once calculated Xiao Li's fate, deeming it "Greedy Wolf Devouring Moon."

"Greedy Wolf Devouring Moon," it was said, implied a rebellious nature, a heart of betrayal, and an overwhelming Sha Qi.

And as the Third Prince grew, he indeed lived up to his fate, becoming ruthless and quick to kill.

He had joined the army and commanded three thousand "Blood Wolf Guards," wielding considerable power. Even the Eldest Prince Xiao Junlin treated him with some caution.

Now, he was suddenly hosting a banquet. Could it be a trap?

"Sister-in-law, I already have plans tonight. Please forgive me for being unable to attend!"

Xiao Yang used an excuse to refuse.

"Thump!"

To his surprise, the beautiful Qiao Niannu suddenly knelt on the ground, her jade-like hands clutching Xiao Yang's thigh. Her eyes turned red, and she began to cry.

"Ninth Highness, if you refuse to go, then Niannu will kneel here until you agree!!!"
