Chapter 44: Zhang Sanfeng's Restless Mind

"How about five hundred thousand... one million points?"

Thinking of the many Undying Divine Medicine in the Zhetian World, as well as the most top-tier divine arts and secret techniques, Zhang Xuan temporarily raised the corresponding point requirements by a notch.

Zhang Xuan admitted that his heart ached for a split second, but thinking of the many Undying Divine Medicine, thinking of the Indestructible Heavenly Art, Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, Wushi Sutra, Secret of 'Xing'...

The tiny bit of guilt in his heart vanished without a trace immediately.

"I am helping others, I am giving others an opportunity, how could I feel guilty?"

"If the Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors in the Forbidden Zone knew there was such an opportunity, let alone Undying Divine Medicine, let alone scriptures, they might even sell their own daughters and sons; my pricing is very reasonable!"

Zhang Xuan felt it was very correct.

To go from a Universe lacking Immortal Substance to a World where Immortal Substance is unimaginably abundant—what a great opportunity this is; the price should naturally be a bit expensive.

As for Zhang Sanfeng...

"Zhang Sanfeng definitely can't come up with one million points, at most he can take out a few thousand. Hmm, if I remember correctly, it seems a Li Xiaoyao has arrived."

"I'll prioritize recommending Zhang Sanfeng to go to Li Xiaoyao's world. At the very least, the ceiling of his cultivation will be broken; Zhang Sanfeng should be quite satisfied with that!"

Zhang Xuan rubbed his chin, feeling quite satisfied with his own judgment and decision.

"What I'm selling isn't a portal, but residency in a higher world. It's very reasonable for it to be a bit expensive; this is an opportunity for Martial Arts Shattering the Void."

In reality, Zhang Xuan felt that it wouldn't matter if he let Zhang Sanfeng have it for free.

After all, the many martial arts in the martial arts world where Zhang Sanfeng resides do not hold much significance for him.

But without rules, nothing can be accomplished. Since the corresponding rules have already been set, it is better to follow the rules; one cannot let some people have special privileges.

"Anyway, for Zhang Sanfeng, two thousand... three thousand points is not difficult. He is already the combat ceiling of his current world; he can easily obtain all kinds of divine arts, secret manuals, and martial arts classics as long as he wants them."

Zhang Xuan took a moment to check Zhang Sanfeng's relevant points. After seeing the Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique, Zhang Sanfeng instantly understood that he had previously underestimated the Chat Group too much.

The previous defensive mindset was unnecessary, so he uploaded his sect's secret techniques, as well as the top-tier secret techniques he obtained later. Now, he has six hundred and thirty-seven points.

"Hmm, it's not too far from three thousand; a little effort and he'll reach it."

Zhang Xuan felt he was quite wise and martial, and couldn't help but hum a little tune.

"We common folk, are truly happy today!"

"My previous thinking was indeed too narrow. Having the ability to travel to other worlds, yet only thinking about training myself—my perspective was truly too small!"

Looking at the rough plan written in front of him, as well as the corresponding price standards for traveling to different worlds.

Zhang Xuan's mouth was twisted into a smile.

"Hmm, I still need to continue perfecting it. I'll make a table for the exchange points of Undying Divine Medicine and related top-tier weapon-refining materials. It mustn't get messy; at any rate, we can't let our Qingdi suffer a loss."

Zhang Xuan's mouth was twisted into a smile while writing the plan, though he felt his heart was probably black at this moment.

"Sigh, I am still a bit too conscientious. If a black-hearted capitalist came along, they would definitely do much worse than me and would definitely be able to squeeze out more profit. Sigh, but I am kind-hearted and can't bear to see that scene!"

Zhang Xuan shook his head and sighed while writing.

He carefully recorded all the relevant settings, preparing to silently tuck these rules into the Chat Group when the new features open, ensuring that no one would notice any corresponding problems.

He took a moment to check the Chat Group; the Chat Group remained quite quiet, without many ripples.

It is likely that the many methods uploaded in the previous round left many people in shock.

Zhang Xuan was writing furiously, preparing to further exploit the characters in the Chat Group, while others were not idle either.

On Wudang Mountain, in the Purple Heaven Palace, Zhang Sanfeng was smiling warmly as he hosted Zhang Wuji and his parents.

Zhang Wuji was still not very old, looking about thirteen or fourteen, his complexion slightly pale; that was the sequelae left behind from being struck by the Xuanming Divine Palm previously.

Every year, after a period of time, he needed to come to Wudang Mountain to rely on Zhang Sanfeng's Internal Energy to suppress it a little.

Of course, this was because Zhang Wuji was still too young and the Internal Energy in his body was too thin. He had already practiced the Nine Yang Divine Art, but the Internal Energy was still too thin to fully resist it.

It needed to be suppressed by Zhang Sanfeng, this Martial Dao Grandmaster. Of course, this was also a way for Zhang Cuishan and his wife, especially Yin Susu, to specifically draw closer to him.

After all, she was a demonic girl from the Demonic Cult, and it was not easy for her to associate with the orthodox martial arts. By using this incident with Zhang Wuji, she could draw the relationship closer.

"Wuji!"

Facing Zhang Wuji, Zhang Sanfeng was full of smiles.

It was not easy for Zhang Wuji to come to Wudang Mountain, and this visit actually had the reason of seeking refuge.

After Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu went to the Heavenly Eagle Cult, many people in the Jianghu did not dare to go to the Heavenly Eagle Cult to ask about the whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Saber.

But there were still people from the Ming Cult who took the initiative to come and try to understand the whereabouts of their Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun.

Because of past events, the Heavenly Eagle Cult had a complicated relationship with the Ming Cult; they were close, yet unwilling to be too close.

But now that the daughter had returned with her husband and even her grandson, the Heavenly Eagle Cult Church Leader Yin Tianzheng naturally thought about repairing the relationship with the Ming Cult, especially after knowing the state and situation of the Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun.

Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu's group went up to Bright Peak to explain the past events and also to repair the relationship.

As a result, Zhang Wuji, with his childish nature, could not endure the loneliness and walked around, inadvertently walking into the underground secret passage of Bright Peak.

Not only did he take out the last words of the previous Church Leader, but he also brought out the Universe Shift.

Now Bright Peak was in chaos, mired in a struggle for power and profit.

Some said they wanted to go overseas to bring back the Golden-Haired Lion King, while others wanted to appoint the Bright Left Envoy Yang Xiao as the new Church Leader.

Now they were arguing incessantly, and Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu were forced by circumstances to take Zhang Wuji to Wudang Mountain to seek refuge.

Zhang Sanfeng was also helpless after learning the cause and effect.

He had known before that the Universe Shift was in the underground secret passage of the Ming Cult's Bright Peak, but that was the sect-protecting inheritance of another sect, and he had no intention of taking it. As it turned out, it was brought over by his grand-disciple after all.

It was mainly because Yin Susu had the idea of wanting Zhang Cuishan to practice it, but she was also afraid that all the figures who had practiced the Universe Shift in the past had died.

Therefore, she specifically brought it to Wudang Mountain, wanting to let this current leader of the martial arts world refer to it and learn from it.

Zhang Cuishan was originally the one with the highest talent and aptitude among the Wudang Seven Heroes, practicing both literature and martial arts; a single Judge Pen could handle both.

He also had a great reputation in the Jianghu, and back then, there was even a high probability and hope that he would inherit the position of Wudang Sect Leader; he was the person most loved by Zhang Sanfeng among the Wudang Seven.

But after drifting overseas for ten years, lacking corresponding guidance, his Internal Energy cultivation and martial arts cultivation were a notch behind the original Wudang Seven.

It wasn't apparent while on the island, but upon returning to the Jianghu, once there was a comparison, the gap became clear.

Yin Susu was sharp-minded and could perceive the occasional sorrow in Zhang Cuishan's heart, so she wanted to change things a little.

"The Universe Shift is quite exquisite; it borrows force to strike back while allowing for perfect, precise control over one's own Internal Energy. It is truly a miraculous technique..."

Many days ago, Zhang Sanfeng had already obtained the Universe Shift and had been silently studying it.

Now that he understood it well enough, he nodded and began to explain it to his beloved fifth disciple.

"However, this method requires the support of vigorous Internal Energy. If ordinary martial artists practice it recklessly, not only will they be unable to control it, but they will fall into madness and chaos, with their meridians surging in reverse, leading to cultivation deviation."

"If one wishes to perfectly master this technique, it is best to reverse to the pre-celestial state, communicate with heaven and earth, and practice it only after the potential within the body has been significantly excavated."

As a figure who was the Martial Dao Leader, Zhang Sanfeng's tone carried a hint of emotion while explaining the Universe Shift.

But at the same time, there was a trace of regret; Zhang Cuishan was baffled and could not quite grasp his master's thoughts.

He merely assumed his master felt it was improper to casually examine another sect's supreme divine technique, and thus felt a slight pang of conscience.

Yin Susu keenly sensed her husband's thoughts; she did not care about so-called sectarian prejudices or boundaries, and took the initiative to step forward, saying, "We thought that such a divine technique might be able to dissolve the cold poison within Wuji's body and allow him to recover to normal sooner, which is why we specifically came to ask the True Person."

Zhang Sanfeng shook his head; having lived to a hundred years old, he understood the thoughts of many people.

But at his age, he no longer cared much about the various grudges and sectarian prejudices of the Jianghu.

Originally, he had been unwilling to take it because he felt that going into the secret underground passage of Bright Peak to take someone else's supreme divine technique would easily cause misunderstandings, his disciples lacked the skill, and there was no need for him to go take it himself.

He was already invincible in the world; what use did he have for the Universe Shift?

But before this, his mindset had undergone a brand-new change.

Silently gazing at the many techniques in the Chat Group, other than the Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique and the Taishang Forgetting Emotions Record, Zhang Sanfeng could not help but feel a trace of longing in his heart.

He had already seen the Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique before and felt it was heaven-defying and masterfully crafted.

It was of the same lineage as the eve of his own internal cultivation; once he knew this path existed, he opened the Nine Apertures in a short time, and even the Ancestral Aperture of the Brow had shown signs of response in recent days and was about to open.

He sighed deeply at the profundity of the Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique, but as he continued to practice, he felt somewhat lost regarding the Outer Scene and inner scene described by the Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique.

Later, when he saw the newly added Taishang Laojun in the Chat Group speaking about the Eight/Nine Mysterious Technique, his heart, which had been dormant for many years, suddenly became active.

He became increasingly uninhibited about uploading the Universe Shift to the Chat Group, and even thought to himself.

"Are there more divine techniques and supreme arts in the Jianghu? If possible, I should change my appearance, walk the Jianghu, and collect many martial arts secrets."

With the Nine Apertures all open and the Ancestral Aperture of the Brow about to open, he was about to see that even more magnificent scene.

Even though he was a hundred-year-old man, a trace of fiery passion still rose in Zhang Sanfeng's heart.
