God Emperor

Back at the inn, Zhang Ruochen entered the inner space of the space-time crystal and began to practice.

Even if you have to stay in the royal city for two days as Chen Ruo, you must make reasonable use of these two days and not waste them.

"Since we can't find the Shenqi Grass, we can only refine the Three-leaf Holy Qi Grass and strive to reach the late stage of the Earth's Ultimate Realm as quickly as possible."

The Three-leaf Holy Qi Grass only grows in the place where the Half-Saint died. It absorbs the Holy Power of the Half-Saint all year round and has the medicinal power to improve physical fitness and cultivation.

Now, Zhang Ruochen still has fifty-three three-leaf holy grass. As long as they are all refined, there is still hope that he can break through to the late stage of the extreme realm in a short time.

According to Zhang Ruochen's calculations, it would take at least four months to completely refine the medicinal power of the fifty-three three-leaf holy grass and transform it into his own power.

For other Jiji realm warriors, it takes four months to break through a realm, which is already quite fast. However, it is still too slow for Zhang Ruochen now.

"Four months, even if we borrow the time power of the space-time crystal, it will take almost one and a half months."

Zhang Ruochen is quite aware of his current situation. One and a half months is neither long nor short. The situation is changing, and no one knows what the next step will be.

There is no other way to think of now but to practice hard and try to improve your martial arts skills as much as possible.

Zhang Ruochen separated three of the three-leaf holy grass and put them in another jade box, preparing to take them back to the palace and give them to the Ninth Princess.

The medicinal power of the Three-leaf Holy Qi Grass is no longer very obvious to Zhang Ruochen. But Princess Ninth is now at the Xuanji realm. To her, even a three-leaf holy Qi grass is a priceless treasure that can temper the martial body and expand the Qi lake.

In the inner space of the space-time crystal, Zhang Ruochen spent six days refining four three-leaf holy grass. There is no significant improvement in martial arts cultivation, but it is more intense and pure than before.

"Only fifty three-leaf Holy Qi grass can help me break through the realm. When my cultivation reaches the late stage of the Earth's Ultimate Realm, it is estimated that the three-leaf Holy Qi grass will be of even less use to me."

Martial arts training is originally a step-by-step process that requires gradual training.

But Zhang Ruochen took another path, which was to use the most expensive cultivation resources to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible.

At the same time, he also uses elixirs and holy power to temper his physique, strengthen his physical body, and expand his Qi sea. It can be said that Zhang Ruochen spent a lot of money on improving his physical fitness.

This path is simply not advisable for others.

First of all, the consumption of cultivation resources is a huge number.

For example: Fifty three-leaf Holy Qi Grass, worth fifteen million silver coins, was only used by Zhang Ruochen to break through to the late Earth Realm.

Even Huang Yanchen, who has a strong family background, cannot afford to consume such resources.

Secondly, Zhang Ruochen has cultivated a martial spirit, has strong spiritual power, and his understanding of martial arts has reached the level of the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm. Therefore, he dared to refine the cultivation resources without any scruples and break through the realm as quickly as possible.

This is Zhang Ruochen's biggest advantage!

If it were any other warrior who dared to practice like him, he would have gone crazy long ago.

Martial arts training is like filling a barrel with water. Other warriors not only add water to the barrel, but also constantly add wooden boards to make the barrel taller and able to hold more water.

However, Zhang Ruochen already had a wooden bucket, but the water in the bucket had been poured out. Therefore, even if he starts all over again, he only needs to add water to the barrel, and there is no need to worry about whether the barrel can hold it.

In other words, before reaching the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, Zhang Ruochen's path of cultivation was smooth and without any obstacles.

"It's time to go back to the palace!"

Zhang Ruochen took off the metal mask on his face, put on a set of brocade robes worn by students in the inner palace of Wu City Academy, hired a carriage, and headed straight towards the palace.

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is back!"

"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has returned to the palace!"

…

The news of Zhang Ruochen's return soon spread throughout the palace.

Zhang Ruochen immediately went to Yushu Palace to meet Concubine Lin.

When the maids of Yushu Palace saw Zhang Ruochen, they all showed awe and admiration in their eyes, and immediately knelt down to salute, showing great respect.

When mother and son meet, there is naturally another round of greetings and inquiries, as the parents are divided. Concubine Lin squeezed Zhang Ruochen's hand and refused to let go for a long time. She said with tears in her eyes: "Chen'er... it's good to come back, it's good to come back."

"I should have taken more time to come back to see my mother." Zhang Ruochen looked at Concubine Lin and finally felt the warmth of family affection in his heart.

Zhang Ruochen showed extraordinary talent in Wu City Academy, and was engaged to Princess Yanchen of Qianshui County. Concubine Lin's status in the palace gradually increased, and she received some alchemy pills that only warriors could take every month. Body treasure medicine.

In the past year, Concubine Lin's complexion has improved a lot, as if she has become ten years younger.

"It's a pity that my mother didn't activate the mark of Shenwu. Otherwise, I would have some training resources that I can give to my mother." Zhang Ruochen said.

Concubine Lin gently touched Zhang Ruochen's head, pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Resources for cultivation are very expensive, so just keep them for yourself. As long as you can become a strong martial artist, my mother will be happier than anything else."

A shout came from outside, "Ninth brother, ninth brother, you won't come back to the palace... Concubine Lin is also here..."

The leader of the Ninth County, Yu Xifeng, rushed in from outside. When he saw Concubine Lin, he was slightly startled at first, grinned his lips, and immediately became docile, saluting Concubine Lin respectfully.

Zhang Ruochen gently patted Concubine Lin's hand and said, "Mother, I have to talk to Sister Ninth beforehand. I will come and have dinner with mother in the evening."

Concubine Lin nodded with a smile and said, "Go ahead!"

Zhang Ruochen pulled the Ninth Princess and walked out of Yushu Palace, smiling slightly: "Ninth Sister, how are you practicing the "Tianhe Jade Scripture"? Is there anything you can't understand?"

"Tianhe Jade Scripture" is a low-grade ghost-level technique passed down by Zhang Ruochen to the nine princesses. It is definitely the top-level technique to defeat in the thirty-six counties of Tianmoling.

The Ninth Princess raised her chin and said arrogantly: "I have reached the second level of cultivation, and my martial arts cultivation has entered the late stage of the Xuanji Realm. In half a year, the Martial City Academy will recruit students, and I will also sign up. By then, we will all You are a student of Wu City Academy, so I have to call you Senior Brother!"

"The late stage of the Caixuanji realm..."

Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly and said: "Lin Ningshan has already reached the small extreme of Xuanji Realm, which is one level higher than you. In this year's end-of-year assessment, you are definitely no match for her."

"How can it be compared? Lin Ningshan has joined Yuntai Zongfu, the holy land of martial arts, and her martial arts cultivation will naturally improve by leaps and bounds." The ninth princess glanced at her mouth and said with some dissatisfaction.

Zhang Ruochen said: "But what you practice is a low-level ghost-level technique, which is many times better than what she practices. What is going on, please explain to me clearly?"

The Ninth Princess stuck out her tongue and said: "Do you talk to your sister like this? Okay! Then I will tell the truth. In fact, I want to compete for the first place in the "Yellow List", so I was delayed a lot in the Huangji Realm. Half a year.”

Zhang Ruochen asked: "Have you earned the first place in the "Yellow List"?"

"Of course, I have opened up twenty-two meridians. How embarrassing would it be if I couldn't win the first place on the "Huang List"?" the Ninth Princess said with a smile.

Even the seventh prince Zhang Tiangui, who is known as the number one genius in the thirty-six counties of Tianmo Ridge, has only opened up twenty-three meridians. She only had one less meridian than Zhang Tiangui, so she was naturally very proud.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said: "The techniques you and the Seventh Prince practice are all low-grade ghost-level techniques. Even the "Six Mysterious Sacred Techniques" practiced by the Seventh Prince are not as good as the "Jade River Scripture", but you have opened up less than him." Meridians, what else is there to be proud of?”

The ninth princess put her hands on her hips and stared, saying: "Seventh brother is the number one genius in the thirty-six counties of Tianmo Ridge. How can I compare with him? Even if I open up the same number of meridians as him, it is impossible for me to be the best." his opponent."

It has to be said that Zhang Tiangui's talent is indeed far superior to that of the Ninth Princess and Zhang Ruochen, but he was born in Yunwu County and did not have access to the top skills, so he is only at his current level.

Zhang Ruochen couldn't get angry when he saw the appearance of the Ninth Princess, and said: "Remember from now on, if you can fight for the so-called list, just fight for it. If you can't fight, there is no need to waste your training time to fight hard. In Huangji It won't do you any harm to let the situation settle for a while, so I won't pursue this matter any further, and don't be so willful again."

With that said, Zhang Ruochen took out a jade box and handed it to the Ninth Princess, saying: "There are three three-leaf holy grass in it. If you can refine them all, I guarantee that your physique will be improved again." Da Jie, although he is still not as good as me and the Seventh Prince at the same cultivation level, he can at least achieve two or even two and a half."

"What two absolutes? What two and a half?" asked the Ninth Princess.

Zhang Ruochen said: "When you enter Wu City Academy, you will naturally understand."

In the distance, there was a series of footsteps. Zhang Ruochen felt something in his heart and immediately looked towards the garden gate.

A high-spirited and handsome man wearing a golden robe, who looked to be in his early twenties, with bushy eyebrows, a face as sharp as a knife, and a steady pace, giving people a noble temperament of a superior, walked in from the door.

Walking side by side with him was a graceful and beautiful woman, who looked to be about twenty years old. She had a slender figure, skin like snow, long black hair, and a smile that was like a spring breeze blowing on her face. If she stood in a crowd, she would definitely stand out and be seen by others at a glance.

The two of them were visiting the garden, followed by a large group of people, including the third prince, fifth prince, sixth prince, Lin Chenyu, and Lin Ningshan whom Zhang Ruochen knew, as well as some warriors Zhang Ruochen didn't know.

They accompanied him all the way, chatting and laughing, giving advice, and saying flattery and flattery.

"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, as expected, those evil rats from the black market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult will soon be annihilated by the Wushi Academy and the Yuntai Sect."

"Since the seventh brother has rushed back to the royal city, who dares to run wild in the royal city?"

…

The handsome man in a golden robe suddenly stopped and looked at Zhang Ruochen and the Ninth Princess standing in the middle of the garden. At first glance, it looked like two young lovers having a private meeting.

The Ninth Princess was obviously a little afraid of the man in gold robes, so she immediately went up to him, bowed to him, and said, "Yu Xi pays homage to Seventh Brother."

"So he is the seventh prince, Zhang Tiangui." Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes and stared at the man in gold robe.

Today, Zhang Ruochen saw for the first time the seventh prince who had been rumored for a long time.
