God Emperor

Zhang Ruochen's mansion occupies a very large area, with pavilions, lakes and rockeries, a martial arts training ground, a beast garden, a spiritual medicine garden... and so on.

In addition, there are many formations arranged in the mansion. In addition to the defensive formations, there are also some spirit gathering formations and attack formations. Even if a semi-saint wants to break through, he will have to pay a huge price.

Such a mansion is no worse than the ancestral home of the Semi-Saint Family.

At this moment, Huang Yanchen and Prince Qianshui were in the lobby of the inner courtyard.

Prince Qianshui looks like he is in his forties. He is full of energy, his eyes are like lightning, and he has two neat beards above his lips. Even though he has deliberately suppressed the aura on his body, he still exudes an aura that only a superior person can have. of powerful momentum.

Concubine Lin was sitting on the left side of Prince Qianshui. She seemed quite calm, with a dignified demeanor and a calm expression, without any restraint.

Zhang Ruochen walked in from the outside, immediately bowed and saluted, and said: "Greetings to my mother, my lord the county prince."

Prince Qianshui had a half-smile on his face and said, "Your Majesty Prince... Hey, Zhang Ruochen, should you change your words?"

Zhang Ruochen smiled, bowed again, and said, "Greetings, uncle."

The Prince of Qianshui County knew that it was difficult for Zhang Ruochen to change his mind for a while, so it was not difficult for him. He said straight to the point: "Zhang Ruochen, do you know about the engagement four years ago?"

Zhang Ruochen said: "The engagement is a major event in life, and the younger generation dare not forget it."

Prince Qianshui nodded and said: "This king comes to the Holy City of the Eastern Territory just for this life-long event between you and Yanchen. Your engagement has been postponed for a year. This king and your mother The concubine has already discussed it, and we should let you get married as soon as possible. What do you think?"

Zhang Ruochen glanced at Huang Yanchen, who was sitting next to Prince Qianshui, and said, "I have no objections. Everything will be done according to the wishes of my uncle and mother."

Prince Qianshui nodded with satisfaction. He was quite satisfied with his future son-in-law. It would be best if he could settle the marriage as soon as possible.

At the beginning, Zhang Ruochen was just a prince from a lower-class county, and Prince Qianshui was very optimistic about him, thinking that this son would definitely be extraordinary in the future.

Now, only a few years have passed, and Zhang Ruochen has already become famous all over the world.

Not only did he become the master of Sword Master Xuanji, but he also became the first of the six new kings of the Eastern Region. Recently, he became the number one in the "Heaven Ranking", reaching the ultimate level.

Such a heroic figure, I don't know how many powerful forces want to take him under their command, and I don't know how many proud women regard him as the lover of their dreams.

Fortunately, his daughter had already made an engagement with Zhang Ruochen. Otherwise, with his daughter's talent and birth, how could she possibly compete with those proud daughters from the main lineage of saints?

After all, the Huang family of Qianshui County is just a foreign clan of the Chen family, not even a branch, and its status within the Chen family is still very low.

The Chen family was a noble family in the Middle Ages, with a large family and a large business. The family members were spread throughout the Eastern Region. Within it, it was like an empire, with strict hierarchies and strict systems.

Among them, the clan members of the main line have the highest status in the family.

The purest blood of the Chen family flows in their bodies, and they are also the absolute rulers of the Chen family. They have noble blood and control most of the say in the Chen family.

Below the main lineage tribesmen are the branch lineage tribesmen.

The branch clan members also have the surname "Chen", but their bloodline is more distant. In fact, some of the branch families only had ancestors who were descendants of the Chen family. Later, they recognized their ancestors and returned to the clan, and they became a branch of the Chen family.

Because of their large number, the branch clan members also have a certain say in the Chen family. Some powerful branch clan members can even enter the upper echelons of the Chen family.

Under the branch lineage are the foreign races.

The Huang family of Qianshui County is one of the foreign tribes that is dependent on the Chen family.

The Chen family, also known as the "Holy Palace of the Eastern Territory", controls the entire imperial court system of the Eastern Territory, including more than 12,000 counties, plus the thirty-six palaces of the Eastern Territory Divine Land, the power is quite huge and can be compared to Known as the uncrowned king of the Eastern Region.

It is precisely because of the influence of the Chen family in the Eastern Region that many families, sects, and prefectures have married into the Chen family and become foreign members of the Chen family.

The so-called foreign races are quite dependent on the peripheral strength of the Chen family.

The status of foreigners is not much different from that of the generals and slaves of the Chen family, and even the status of some generals and slaves is more noble than that of foreigners.

Fortunately, Huang Yanchen's mother had reached the semi-saint realm, and her status in the Chen family had greatly improved, becoming a high-ranking member of the Chen family. Therefore, Huang Yanchen is qualified to return to the Holy City of the Eastern Region to practice.

However, in the final analysis, Huang Yanchen and Qianshui Commandery are still just foreigners of the Chen family, and their status and status are quite embarrassing.

But things are different now. Their status is likely to undergo unprecedented changes.

Because Huang Yanchen and Zhang Ruochen are about to get married.

Zhang Ruochen is a disciple of Sword Master Xuanji. At the same time, he is also the first genius of the new generation in the Eastern Region. His future achievements will definitely be limitless.

No matter how much the upper echelons of the Chen family look down on foreigners, they are now trying desperately to win over Prince Qianshui and Huang Yanchen to show how much their family attaches importance to the Huang family.

Who told others to have an extremely talented son-in-law?

Therefore, this time when they came to the Holy City of the Eastern Territory, the Chen family's attitude towards Prince Qianshui had changed significantly.

Of course Prince Qianshui understood that the reason why the Chen family took the initiative to show their kindness to him was not just because Huang Yanchen's mother had reached the semi-saint realm.

What's more, Huang Yanchen's fiancé is Zhang Ruochen, a disciple of Xuanji Sword Master.

Prince Qianshui stared at Zhang Ruochen and said: "The seventh day of the next month is an excellent day. I have already discussed with your mother and concubine, and the wedding day will be set on that day."

Zhang Ruochen said: "I don't have any objections."

Prince Qianshui smiled and said: "In that case, you must remember to pick a time to come over and give the betrothal gift. Today, it is late at night, so I will not disturb you anymore and leave here."

Zhang Ruochen sent Prince Qianshui and Huang Yanchen outside the mansion before returning to the inner courtyard.

He walked past the lobby and saw that the lights in the lobby were still on, so he walked in and saw Concubine Lin sitting alone in the lobby.

Zhang Ruochen asked: "Mother, haven't you rested yet?"

Concubine Lin sat above, looked at Zhang Ruochen carefully, and asked: "Chen'er, you seem to be quite dissatisfied with this marriage?"

Zhang Ruochen was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Mother, you are overthinking it! My son and senior sister have always had a very good relationship, how could they be dissatisfied?"

Concubine Lin shook her head and said, "Then, why aren't you particularly happy?"

Zhang Ruochen seemed to be talking to himself: "Didn't I feel very happy just now?"

Concubine Lin said: "Chen'er, mother knows that you are very capable now, and there are many women who like you, so you can have better choices. However, you must not break your promise. If it weren't for Qianshui County Prince With the help of Princess Yanchen, our Yunwu County has been destroyed long ago, and it is impossible for you and I to survive until now. Do you understand?

Zhang Ruochen walked over, came to Concubine Lin's side, and said: "Mother, I am really happy to be able to marry my senior sister. In a few days, I will personally bring a big gift and go to make the offer. Now you Are you relieved?"

A smile finally appeared on Concubine Lin's face.

She stretched out her hands and squeezed Zhang Ruochen's hand tightly. A tear flowed from the corner of her eyes. For the first time, she felt that Zhang Ruochen had really grown up.

Zhang Ruochen accompanied Concubine Lin, chatted together, took out the Linghe pear, and watched Concubine Lin eat it with his own eyes.

Zhang Ruochen didn't leave until late at night.

Back in the room, Zhang Ruochen's mind was all about getting married on the seventh day of next month, and he was completely unable to calm down and comprehend "Sword One".

So, Zhang Ruochen took out the picture of the Divine Wood of Heaven and Earth, unfolded the picture and laid it flat on the table.

Then, the door to space was opened and the world of picture scrolls was entered.

If you can't understand "Sword One", you can naturally do other things.

Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged under the Divine Wooden Diagram of the Universe and spent a day refining ten wishful vases.

Then, he came under the corpses of King Wu Skeleton Dragon and Qinghuo Xuanwu, lined up ten Ruyi Treasure Bottles, and began to collect dragon blood, Xuanwu Holy Blood, and Xuanwu Qi.

It is naturally easy to collect dragon blood and Xuanwu Qi.

However, collecting Xuanwu Holy Blood is a bit troublesome.

The blood of Qinghuo Xuanwu is quite strong, and every drop of blood contains extremely powerful power.

If a drop of holy blood were dropped on a stone, it would be enough to smash through a boulder weighing ten thousand kilograms.

Moreover, the Holy Blood of Xuanwu has been corroded by the evil energy of the Pillar of Niehai. It can only be purified drop by drop before it can be put into the Ruyi Treasure Vase.

It took Zhang Ruochen three full days and he was exhausted before he could refine thirty drops of Xuanwu Holy Blood.

"The power contained in Xuanwu Holy Blood is too powerful. With my current cultivation level, I can only purify ten drops a day. It's too slow and a waste of time."

Zhang Ruochen stopped purifying the Xuanwu Holy Blood and planned to wait until his cultivation level was higher in the future before doing this again.

"One and a half bottles of holy dragon blood, eight bottles of Xuanwu Qi, and thirty drops of Xuanwu holy blood should be enough for a long time."

The corpse of Qinghuo Xuanwu is a huge treasure mine.

Zhang Ruochen only collected one-tenth of the Xuanwu Qi and filled eight Ruyi Treasure Bottles.

There is a huge space inside every wish-fulfilling vase.

At the beginning, Huang Yanchen only refined a small amount of Xuanwu Qi, and he broke through from the extreme position of Tianji Realm to the second transformation of fish and dragon.

Now, the eight Ruyi Treasure Bottles in Zhang Ruochen's hands each contained three thousand times the amount of Xuanwu Qi she had refined.

Of course, the higher the realm, if you want to break through the realm, the Xuanwu Qi consumed will increase exponentially.

Even a bottle of Xuanwu Qi may not be able to support a monk in the first fish-dragon transformation and practice to the ninth fish-dragon transformation.

What's more, every small realm of the nine transformations of fish and dragon is a bottleneck. Not everyone can transform a fish into a dragon.

"Eight bottles of Xuanwu Qi, one for Senior Sister Yanchen, one for Senior Sister Duanmu, one for Senior Brother Chang, one for Senior Brother, one for Master, one for Han Xue, and one for Kong Xuan. There is one bottle left... for the time being. Keep it.”

Zhang Ruochen held eight bottles of Xuanwu Qi with a satisfied smile on his lips.
