Chapter 954: Array Preparations
"Roar..."
Just as they entered the back mountain, a deafening roar of a tiger echoed out.
Immediately, a massive white figure emerged from the dense forest, charging directly at Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Roar roar..."
It was Little White.
Though called Little White, it was as large as a full-grown giant elephant, incredibly tall, with a long white fur coat like a blanket. Its tusks were as sharp as the finest treasure swords, even the Ancient Saber-Toothed Tiger couldn't match its ferocity.
"Ah, a beast..."
Seeing Little White, Master Hei, who had been following behind Zhang Xiaoshan, immediately went weak in the knees and sat down on the ground, scared out of his wits, filled with terror.
In the next moment, Little White obediently lay down at Zhang Xiaoshan's feet.
Zhang Xiaoshan tossed out a fat grilled whole lamb he had prepared in advance, and Little White devoured it ravenously.
After eating, it rolled over excitedly at Zhang Xiaoshan's feet like a little kitten.
"Do, do, do you, do you know it?"
Master Hei, who was on the ground, came to his senses belatedly.
Zhang Xiaoshan gently patted Little White's forehead and said calmly to Master Hei.
"Don't worry, this is a friend I raised myself; it won't harm us."
"Friend?"
Already afraid of Zhang Xiaoshan, Master Hei felt even more terrified at this moment, silently speculating about Zhang Xiaoshan's true identity.
This white beast before them, at the very least comparable to a Qi Transformation Expert, was showing such affection toward Miracle Doctor Zhang; it wasn't simple at all.
"Alright, you hurry and follow me."
Zhang Xiaoshan rode on Little White's back and moved ahead first.
Master Hei dared not delay and quickly ran after him.
When they arrived at the narrow pool entrance of the Immortal Medical Sect's relic, Master Hei's worldview was again shattered at the sight of the Twin Giant Serpents.
Especially seeing how the Twin Giant Serpents were completely obedient to Zhang Xiaoshan, his heart was stirred into a massive storm.
"Goodness, just how many trump cards does this Miracle Doctor Zhang have?"
Finally, they arrived at the site of the Hundred Herbs Immortal Medical Sect relic.
"This, what is this place?"
"Is this an abandoned cultivation sect?"
Master Hei, having some discernment, saw through the Immortal Medical Sect's background.
Zhang Xiaoshan nodded and said,
"That's right, this place is called the Hundred Herbs Immortal Medical Sect, once a quite powerful cultivation sect, which later encountered some events and declined."
"Now, I've taken over this place, and today I plan to establish a protective formation here. You'll be my protector."
"Oh?"
Master Hei was taken aback.
Speculating.
Could it be that Zhang Xiaoshan was originally an ordinary villager from White Dragon Village, who accidentally stumbled into this already declining sect in the back mountain, and luckily obtained the sect's inheritance, then embarked on the cultivation path?
No, even if he got the inheritance here, it wouldn't explain such terrifying cultivation; that would require an extraordinary talent, wouldn't it?
Or was it a possession?
Right, the current Zhang Xiaoshan should no longer be a villager of White Dragon Village.
It should be that the original Zhang Xiaoshan accidentally ended up here and had his body taken over by an old predecessor from the Hundred Herbs Immortal Medical Sect.
That's why the current Miracle Doctor Zhang seems young yet has such ruthless methods.
That must be it.
His thoughts could not escape Zhang Xiaoshan's Divine Thought surveillance.
However, Zhang Xiaoshan didn't care, the more Master Hei imagined him as terrifying, the better.
"Stop daydreaming, stand guard outside the main hall, and don't come in without my command."
"Yes, yes."
Master Hei nodded quickly.
Zhang Xiaoshan, alone, went to the main hall.
With a wave of his hand.
The originally empty main hall was piled full.
Top-grade jade, top-grade steel, and other premium materials used for array layout and artifact refining.
If Zhang Xiaoshan were to try gathering so many rare materials on his own, it would probably take him a lifetime. But with those local wealthy merchants, especially through Liang Chengdao's connections, gathering these things became much easier.
Zhang Xiaoshan rewarded them with magic artifacts to give them some benefits, prompting them to work hard.
As Zhang Xiaoshan's cultivation improved, the future would undoubtedly require the help of these people frequently.
Blending authority with benevolence is the way to employ people.
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the materials before him and began to ponder and plan.
