I am really not a medical immortal.

Chapter 1987: Chapter 1986: A Display of Power

Whoosh!

A streak of golden light flashed, and Zhang Xiaohao, taking Shanshan with him, had already descended from the golden auspicious cloud onto the thirty-sixth floor of the Tianqing Painting Workshop.

"Hm? Who goes there?" Seeing Zhang Xiaohao and Shanshan suddenly appear, the guards on the thirty-sixth floor of the Tianqing Painting Workshop immediately surrounded them, sealing off every exit, their azure spears leveled at the two with icy intent.

"You bastards! Who the hell are you pointing at like that? Move those filthy claws of yours right now!" Zhang Xiaohao snapped coldly.

"Humph! Isn’t your tone a bit too arrogant? This is the Tianqing Painting Workshop. Don’t say you’re only at Half-step Divinity Transformation; even if some old monster in the Mahayana Realm came here, if it’s a dragon, it kneels! If it’s a tiger, it still kneels! Let alone you!!!" the Unification Realm guard in the lead said coldly.

"Is that so?" Zhang Xiaohao said coldly.

He took off the Great Sage Equalling Heaven mask from his face, revealing a handsome, striking visage. But that wasn’t the important part. The truly important thing was the Bi Mu Divine Eye at the center of his brow.

If it were just the Bi Mu Divine Eye, that would still be whatever; even a direct descendant of the Divine Clan is nothing too shocking. But a golden Divine Eye seed appeared at his brow, shimmering with a faint golden light, and a terrifying Mixed Law Power spread out from that Divine Eye seed at his brow.

"Ah! Your subordinate pays respects, my lord!!!" Seeing Zhang Xiaohao’s appearance, and recalling the portrait the City Lord Mansion had previously given them, especially that Bi Mu Divine Eye at his brow, this Unification Realm guard felt a vast pressure from Zhang Xiaohao’s Bi Mu Divine Eye—pressure straight from the depths of his soul—nearly crushing the breath out of him.

In the span of a few words, the group of guards dropped to their knees at once.

"Hmph! Next time, wipe those dog eyes of yours clean!" Zhang Xiaohao said coldly.

"Yes, my lord! Please rest assured, my lord, next time we’ll definitely wipe our dog eyes clean and never again be so blind!" the Unification Realm Cultivator replied respectfully.

"Come on! Let’s go in!" Zhang Xiaohao called out.

He led Shanshan toward the interior of the thirty-sixth floor. As for the thirty-fifth floor below, with Zhang Xiaohao’s current status, since he was out to have fun, those floors no longer matched his identity. If there had been floors higher than the thirty-sixth, Zhang Xiaohao would definitely have gone higher.

Once inside the workshop, the massive difference revealed itself immediately.

If the outside of the workshop was resplendent like a miniature imperial palace, then the interior was a realm beyond the mortal world, like the Jade Pool Immortal Realm—everywhere radiating the glory and extraordinary status of its guests.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohao and Shanshan enter, a young married woman in a purple long dress swayed her graceful arms and walked over from deeper inside the workshop.

"My, my! This lord looks unfamiliar! This must be your first time here, right?" As she spoke, the young married woman proactively turned and leaned toward Zhang Xiaohao’s arms.

Even though Zhang Xiaohao was only at Half-step Divinity Transformation, she still didn’t dare look down on him in the slightest.

This was the Tianqing Painting Workshop, and moreover the thirty-sixth floor—the place of the highest status and most noble guests. Without a certain level of identity and standing, even if you were a Mahayana Realm Cultivator, don’t even think about stepping in.

You could say that among those who could enter this thirty-sixth floor, not a single one was simple.

"Heh." Zhang Xiaohao smiled playfully.

His body retreated a step in an unnoticeable way, putting a bit more distance between himself and the young married woman.

To put it in Earth terms, this young married woman might look decent enough on the surface, but in truth she was an "old madam."

"Do the girls here have some kind of rules?" Zhang Xiaohao asked with a teasing tone.

"There aren’t any big rules, but there are a few small ones! Anyone who can enter here is someone of noble and extraordinary standing. Female Cultivators below the Unification Realm can accompany you to ’discuss life’ as long as you pay enough top-grade Spirit Stones! As for Unification Realm Cultivators, those aren’t something top-grade Spirit Stones alone can buy. First you have to see if the other party is willing, then it depends on the person, and lastly you still have to pay a hefty sum of top-grade Spirit Stones!" the young married woman said with a smile.

"And what about beauties in the Mahayana Realm?" Zhang Xiaohao asked playfully.

"Hehehe! My lord, your ambition isn’t small! Mahayana Realm Cultivators already stand at the peak of the Spirit Realm; they’re the strongest of the strong in this heaven and earth! If you want a Mahayana Realm beauty to step out, no one can force them—unless they’re willing themselves! Of course, since our Tianqing Painting Workshop has put up such a huge signboard, it’s not just for show! As long as you’re willing to pay ten billion top-grade Spirit Stones, our Tianqing Painting Workshop will prepare a portrait and paint your likeness on it, then you write a letter, and we’ll deliver it together to the Mahayana Realm Cultivator! If she’s willing, your wish will naturally come true! If she’s not, we won’t refund a single Spirit Stone!" the young married woman said with a smile.

"Your rules are pretty interesting! In that case, bring out all the portraits of your nine Mahayana Realm beauties!" Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.

"Hahaha—! You little brat, with just your Half-step Divinity Transformation cultivation, still dreaming of making Mahayana Realm beauties step out? I’d say you’re not fully awake from your dreams yet!" Suddenly, an arrogant voice came from outside.

Right after, a youth in a cyan robe, with a purple flying serpent embroidered on his chest, walked in from outside, flanked by two guards at Unification Peak.

"Oh my! So it’s Young Master Wang gracing us with your presence. No wonder I heard magpies chirping earlier—it turns out Young Master Wang was on his way over!" Seeing the cyan-robed young master, the young married woman’s face blossomed with smiles as she hurried up to greet him.

"Here! Such a sweet little mouth, this young master will reward you." Young Master Wang laughed loudly.

He took out a storage pouch and casually tossed it over, while playfully pinching her chin.

"Oh, Young Master Wang, you’re so bad!" the young married woman said with a coquettish laugh.

"Where’s this stray mutt barking? Why is it so noisy?" Zhang Xiaohao said with disdain.

"You bastard! Who are you calling a stray mutt?" Young Master Wang exploded in anger on the spot.

"Did I call you a stray mutt? You’re the one who admitted you’re a stray mutt, alright? How’s that my fault?" Zhang Xiaohao shrugged playfully.

"You bastard! You actually dare insult this young master! Do you know who I am? Prick up those ears of yours and listen well—this young master walks without changing his name, sits without changing his surname: I am Wang Ba, the one and only beloved son of Elder Wang of the City Lord Mansion!" Young Master Wang said proudly.

"Bastard?" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"That’s right! That’s this young master!" Wang Ba said proudly.
