Longevity, Invincible From Taking Concubines.

Both of these situations can achieve that effect.

But it's not something an ordinary person can do.

Especially in terms of improving cultivation.

There is no shortcut for this.

"Which possibility do you think is more likely?"

"The former. Mr. Jiang is not short of money. He can definitely afford a million Xuanjing."

However, An Nan shook his head slightly.

"What do you think of the array-patterned short sword on his waist?"

"I didn't pay much attention to that."

"Heh, a Ninth Grade weapon. Do you think an ordinary old man would carry something like this? In the entire Great Xia, there are no more than a hundred Ninth Grade weapons."

The man's pupils contracted.

His own boss lady sat in his lap, but she had another purpose.

However, confusion appeared on his face.

"Boss, but I didn't sense any fluctuations of profound energy from him."

An Nan's mouth curled up slightly.

"Then tell me, is it possible that he is a Martial Ancestor, or even a more powerful Martial King?"

Zhuang Xiong's cultivation had already reached the peak of Martial Master.

In the absence of a Martial Emperor, he could already be considered a top-tier combat force in the Great Xia Empire.

In front of him, ordinary cultivators, unless they had practiced some kind of concealment technique, could be seen through at a glance.

But if the opponent's strength reached the level of a Martial King, then he would be unable to see through it.

There wouldn't be much difference between such an expert standing in front of him and an ordinary person.

Now, hearing what Lord An said, he couldn't help but furrow his brow.

Why would a Martial King be hiding in such a small county town? Could it be related to the missing persons case?

"Alright, I'm just curious. Mr. Jiang shouldn't be involved in that matter."

"Hurry up and prepare for his wedding banquet. Also, arrange for two maids to go over."

"Yes, I'll go and do it."

Jiang Chuan strolled leisurely on the street, scanning everything around him.

Today's feeling was particularly different.

He didn't need to use his eyes to see. Just the faint emanation of profound energy could allow him to have a complete understanding of everything around him, like a scanning radar.

It felt like having an omniscient perspective.

His footsteps paused, and he turned his head to look at a nearby jade shop.

Jadeite was not being hyped up here.

White jade was the mainstream high-end material on the market.

Among them, the highest level was mutton fat white jade, which could be used as a material for array masters to carve arrays.

As a secondary profession, the role of array masters was relatively limited to military affairs.

Their main role was to reinforce buildings.

Especially city walls.

Once solidified, the city walls were comparable to steel plates.

It was almost impossible for ordinary soldiers to destroy them.

As a secondary profession, he was only a beginner and hadn't gained much experience.

These kinds of secondary professions were all about dealing with the authorities, and with his carefree personality, he was not suitable for deep interactions with those people.

They also didn't have much use in terms of making money, at most making some simple talismans.

Entering the shop, the flow of customers in the jade shop was very small.

In addition, it was early in the morning, and there were no customers inside.

The shop assistant had already finished cleaning and immediately greeted him when he saw an elderly man enter, followed by a maid.

"Welcome to Jade Pavilion, may I ask what this old gentleman would like?"

Jiang Chuan nodded slightly.

He glanced at the jade objects.

"Prepare two pieces of jade for me. The quality must be top-notch."

"Alright, we will arrange it for you right away."

The maid quickly went to the warehouse at the back to get the raw materials.

Just as the master carver arrived to start work, he saw a maid taking out a piece of top-quality material from the warehouse.

Instantly, his brows furrowed.

"Xiaocui, what are you doing with the raw materials?"

Seeing that it was the master carver, she quickly bowed respectfully.

"Master Wang, there is a customer outside who wants some jade material. Perhaps he wants to carve something himself."

Upon hearing this, Master Wang couldn't help but furrow his brows.

In terms of carving skills, no one in the entire county of Gusu could surpass his master.

Now someone wants to carve on their own, what does this mean? Are they looking down on him?

Thinking of this, his face immediately darkened.

"Take me to see. I want to see who dares to cause trouble in our Jade Workshop."

Xiaocui didn't know how to respond.

But she also didn't dare to offend Master Wang in front of her.

She obediently followed behind him and walked outside.

They happened to see an energetic middle-aged man sitting there leisurely drinking tea.

Approaching him, Master Wang's attitude seemed somewhat arrogant.

"Sir, are you the one who wants jade material?"

Jiang Chuan nodded.

"Yes. What's the matter? Don't you have any in stock?"

Master Wang shook his head.

"We do have stock, but I want to know, sir, do you look down on my craftsmanship?"

"Here, you can buy all kinds of jade items. Yet you insist on carving it yourself."

"Are you saying that what you carve yourself can be better than what I make?"

At this moment, two customers walked in.

Hearing Master Wang's words, they couldn't help but become curious about the old man.

They had never seen someone come here to cause trouble before.

Could it be that this old man, after eating well for a couple of years, now thinks highly of himself?

Jiang Chuan was a bit puzzled.

He just wanted to buy a few pieces of jade material to make a set of talismans.

What's the meaning of this guy jumping out?

Raising his hand, he stopped this inexplicable guy.

"I want to buy jade material. Do you have a problem with that? Or is it that you can only buy finished products here and not materials?"

"Of course not. It's just that we have such an outstanding carver here, and yet you only want to buy materials. It makes me feel like you're looking down on me."

Jiang Chuan had never seen such an ignorant person before.

Strange things happen every year, but this year there are especially many.

Glancing at this burly man, he no longer bothered to be polite with him.

"Since you insist on saying that. I'm sorry, but I'm here to cause trouble. Are you satisfied now?"

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up.

Finally, he encountered someone who doesn't know any better.

This is a great opportunity.

"Good, very good. I like someone with courage like you."

As he spoke, he took the two pieces of jade material from the maid's hand.

"Since you're so confident, let's compare our skills with these two pieces of jade material and see whose craftsmanship is better."

"If you win, I'll personally give you two pieces of Apex Level jade material."

There was a good show to watch, and all the onlookers gathered around.

Jiang Chuan didn't like being the center of attention.

He pointed to the back.

"Let's go to the backyard. I don't like being treated like a monkey."

Master Wang sneered in his heart. He's afraid of making a fool of himself, isn't he?

But it doesn't matter. At this point, the situation has already revealed a lot.

"Alright, sir, please come inside."
