God Emperor

Absorbing Xuanwu Qi can quickly improve a monk's cultivation. Of course, Zhang Ruochen would not enjoy such a treasure alone. He had already thought about who he would give it to.

He wanted to give the last bottle to his ninth sister and fourth brother who were far away in Yunwu County, but he didn't know if they could come to the Holy City of the Eastern Region before the wedding?

With eight bottles of Xuanwu Qi, Zhang Ruochen walked out of the picture scroll world.

In the picture scroll world, four days have passed, and only one night has passed in the outside world.

Now, it is early morning, the sky has just brightened, and there is a faint coolness in the air.

Zhang Ruochen found Kong Xuan and handed six bottles of Xuanwu Qi to her, asking her to deliver them to Huang Yanchen, Duanmu Xingling, Chang Qiqi, Si Xingkong, and Lei Jing respectively.

Before leaving, Zhang Ruochen specially ordered her to hand over the Ruyi Treasure Vase into the hands of the five people.

Zhang Ruochen was quite relieved that Kong Xuan's cultivation level had reached the Tianji realm and was enough to take charge of his own affairs. He asked her to do things.

After Kong Xuan left, Zhang Ruochen found Han Xue, Tunxiang Rabbit and Demon Ape, and brought one person and two beasts into the world of the picture scroll.

Xiao Hei taught the top-level skills to Tun Xiangtu and Demon Ape. Now, the strength of the two beasts is no longer what it used to be.

The "Swallowing Heaven Technique" practiced by Tun Xiangtu, and the "Ten Heavenly Demons" practiced by Demon Ape.

The demonic energy and beastly power emanating from the two beasts were very tyrannical. Following Zhang Ruochen, they were like two unparalleled ferocious beasts walking out of the wilderness.

Especially the Demon Ape.

It is an ancient relic. After practicing the "Ten Heavenly Demons", the bloodline of the ancient giant spirit demon ape was completely inspired.

Now, its body is more than sixty meters high, like a black hill. Every step it takes makes a "booming" sound, causing the ground to shake.

As for the Tunxiang Rabbit, it looks quite funny with its round belly and two snow-white and sharp rabbit teeth exposed.

However, the Swallowing Elephant Rabbit swallowed Di Yi's demonic heart, and the "Swallowing Heaven Technique" he practiced was no weaker than the "Ten Heavenly Demons", so its strength should not be underestimated.

Zhang Ruochen took them to the foot of the Heaven-Connecting Sacred Tree and ordered: "From now on, you two will follow Han Xue and practice in the world of Tujuan. You must not cause trouble."

Later, Zhang Ruochen took out two bottles of dragon blood and handed them to Tun Xiangtu and Demon Ape.

In the Xuanwu Ruins world, Zhang Ruochen killed many red cloud pythons and collected a large amount of their blood, which he now used to help the two beasts improve their cultivation.

As their strength increases, they can also become a big help to Zhang Ruochen in the future.

At the same time, Zhang Ruochen also took out a bottle of Xuanwu Qi that he had prepared long ago, handed it to Han Xue, patted her little face, and asked her to go aside and practice alone.

After arranging everything, Zhang Ruochen finally relaxed and began to improve his cultivation.

No matter when you are, you can't slack off in cultivation. Only by constantly improving your own strength can you do more meaningful things.

The first step, of course, is to refine the Nourishing Saint Blood Soil and continue to cultivate the Three Spirits Treasure Body.

In the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, Zhang Ruochen could only refine one pound and two taels of Nourishing Saint Blood Soil before his body reached saturation. Now, he first hit the supreme realm of Tianji realm, and then reached the first transformation of fish and dragon.

If you break through two realms in a row, you will definitely be able to refine more Holy Nourishing Blood Soil.

With his current cultivation level, can he successfully cultivate the Three Spiritual Treasure Body in one fell swoop?

The Three Spirit Treasure Body is comparable to the Holy Body.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen is extremely eager to cultivate it successfully.

As long as he succeeds, he will become more powerful in the same realm.

"Refining a pound of Nourishing Saint Blood Soil can save a year of hard training. Even if you can't cultivate into the Three Spirit Treasure Body, you should be able to improve your cultivation for several years."

Zhang Ruochen took out the Nourishing Saint Blood Soil and started refining it.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Ruochen refined seven kilograms of Nourishing Holy Blood Soil into his body, integrating it with his own muscles, bones, flesh and blood.

Including the one pound and two ounces of Nourishing Saint Blood Soil that he had refined previously, he had refined a total of eight pounds and two ounces, which was quite close to the Three Spirit Treasure Body.

Zhang Ruochen exhaled a long breath, "The body has reached saturation and can no longer absorb the Nourishing Saint Blood Soil. However, after refining seven kilograms of Nourishing Saint Blood Soil, it is comparable to my seven years of hard work, and my cultivation level has gone from being the first among fishes and dragons." The elementary level of transformation has reached the intermediate level of the first fish-dragon transformation.”

"If my cultivation can reach the high level of the first fish-dragon transformation, I can refine more holy-nourishing blood soil, and maybe I can cultivate it into the three-spirit treasure body in one fell swoop."

Zhang Ruochen has reached the supreme realm four times in total, and can compete with low realms and high realms.

However, with advantages, there are naturally disadvantages.

The disadvantage is that every time he breaks through a realm, it is ten times, or even a hundred times more difficult than other monks.

In the same realm, he consumes dozens or even hundreds of times more resources than other monks.

Therefore, refining seven kilograms of Nourishing Saint Blood Soil only allowed him to go from the initial stage of the first fish-dragon transformation to the intermediate stage of the first fish-dragon transformation.

Next, his goal is to hit the high level of the first fish-dragon transformation.

If he were to practice at a normal speed, it would take him ten years to break through to the high level of the first fish-dragon transformation.

However, he has many top-notch cultivation resources, and once he takes them, he can save a lot of cultivation time. For example: the dragon beads of the Wuskeleton Dragon King, the blood of the semi-holy dragon, the Qi of Xuanwu, and the holy blood of Xuanwu.

Any of the four treasures can be called a priceless treasure.

Among them, the dragon bead of the King Wu Skeleton is the most precious. Zhang Ruochen plans to take it in the future when he reaches a higher realm.

Therefore, Zhang Ruochen decided to take Xuanwu Holy Blood.

Qinghuo Xuanwu is an eighth-level savage beast, comparable to a holy king. Every drop of blood is like a top-level elixir, containing full holy power and blood.

Zhang Ruochen poured out the first drop of Xuanwu Holy Blood from the Ruyi Treasure Vase, used his true energy to hold it, and suspended it above the palm of his left hand.

The holy blood of Xuanwu emits a dazzling red light, like a crystal clear red gem.

"Wow!"

Swallowing Xuanwu Holy Blood into your mouth is like swallowing a mouthful of fire.

In an instant, Zhang Ruochen's internal organs and meridians burned, making a "pop" sound. Zhang Ruochen couldn't suppress the powerful power contained in Xuanwu Holy Blood, and traces of flames surged out of his pores.

After a breath, with Zhang Ruochen's body as the center, a strong flame burned within a radius of ten steps, turning into a small fire domain.

Even with the dragon beads protecting his body, Zhang Ruochen still felt extremely uncomfortable, with splitting pain all over his body. The heart, lungs, liver and gallbladder, including every meridians, blood vessels, and bones, are all burning.

It seemed that the next moment, he would be burned to ashes by the heat of Xuanwu Holy Blood.

Zhang Ruochen gritted his teeth, holding back the pain, slowly moved his hands, put the palms of his hands together, and yelled: "The fifth level of the Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra, Xuan Fei Ping Demon Heaven."

Zhang Ruochen used his powerful martial soul to control his body and began to circulate the true energy in his body according to the fifth level of the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra".

As the true energy circulates faster and faster, the speed at which the thirty-six meridians absorb Xuanwu's holy blood also becomes faster and faster.

Gradually, Zhang Ruochen devoted himself to cultivation, while understanding the mysteries of the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra", while running the skills and absorbing the holy blood of Xuanwu crazily.

I don't know how much time passed, but the pain on Zhang Ruochen's body completely disappeared. Instead, a feeling of relief spread to the thirty-six meridians in his body.

After completely absorbing the Xuanwu Holy Blood, Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes again and let out a long breath.

The clothes on his body had been burned to ashes by the previous flames.

Zhang Ruochen looked at his skin and found that a layer of golden luster appeared on the surface of his skin, as if there were golden lines flowing on the skin.

He was like a man made of gold, sitting cross-legged under the tree.

"Bang bang!"

Zhang Ruochen punched his chest twice with the palm of his hand, and there was a sound of metal colliding, like iron hitting a golden bell.

"What a powerful Xuanwu holy blood. Just a drop of it allowed me to break through to the second transformation of fish and dragon."

That's right.

Zhang Ruochen has reached the second transformation from fish to dragon.

Zhang Ruochen never imagined that a drop of Xuanwu Holy Blood would have such terrifying power, and it would almost kill him.

Fortunately, he didn't take the dragon beads of the Wuskeleton Dragon King. Otherwise, Zhang Ruochen would have been unable to withstand the force even more, and might have exploded and died in an instant.

After this incident, Zhang Ruochen learned a lesson.

However, Zhang Ruochen finally managed to survive, and he also broke through to the second transformation of fish and dragon, which was a blessing in disguise.

The second transformation of fish and dragon is called "refining skin into gold".

The so-called "refining skin into gold" is like wearing a layer of golden armor on the monk's body. The defensive power is several levels higher than the golden bell cover and iron cloth shirt.

In particular, the golden skin that Zhang Ruochen cultivated is a fusion of the power of Qinghuo Xuanwu and golden dragon. Not only does its defensive power far exceed that of monks of the same realm, but its own strength has also increased several times.

Of course, Zhang Ruochen had just broken through the realm and could not control the increasing power in his body at will. Therefore, his skin radiated golden brilliance and was as hard as iron.

As long as he spends more time consolidating his realm, he will naturally be able to control the power in his body and reach a state where he can freely control it.

Previously, the process of refining the Holy Blood of Xuanwu seemed to only take a short time. In fact, Zhang Ruochen spent half a year in total.

Coupled with the time spent refining and nourishing the holy blood soil, Zhang Ruochen has been in the picture scroll world for nearly seven months.

Based on this calculation, about twenty days should have passed outside.

However, when Zhang Ruochen broke through the fish-dragon realm, he was able to subdue his inner energy, refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as his own food, and reach the state of fasting. Therefore, he did not feel hungry, but became more energetic.

Zhang Ruochen ran the fifth level of the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra" and practiced for another half a month, finally consolidating his realm completely.

"receive!"

The golden brilliance on the surface of Zhang Ruochen's skin gradually became dim and finally disappeared completely.

His skin became like that of a normal person, no longer as hard as iron. However, not only did his defense not weaken, but it actually increased a bit.

"With my current level, it shouldn't be difficult to successfully cultivate the Three Spirit Treasure Body. However, the wedding is getting closer and closer. I can no longer practice in seclusion. I must first go to the Chen family to hire someone."

Zhang Ruochen stopped practicing and started thinking about the betrothal gift. What should he give as a betrothal gift to show enough sincerity?
