Zhang Ruochen, dressed in white, his body standing straight, glanced at Yun’er with slight surprise and gently nodded, saying, ”It’s a success! It has broken through to the late stage of the Yellow Extreme Realm! Sister Yun’er, why don’t you go rest yet?”
When Yun’er heard Zhang Ruochen’s words, her entire body was dumbfounded, her heart beating wildly, her heart was indescribably excited, and she actually had a feeling of wanting to cry out.
“It’s really great! It’s really great!” Yun’er wiped her eyes as she said, “When Yun’er said that she would help His Highness, the Ninth Prince, guard the gate, she definitely won’t leave.”
Zhang Ruochen felt a few touches in his heart as he took out a Blood Pill and handed it to Yun’er.
“It’s snowing, don’t freeze, go rest early! Take this blood elixir and you should be able to warm up quite a bit!” Zhang Ruochen said.
Yun’er took the blood elixir and held it tightly in her hands, nodding Avray as she walked towards her own place while secretly thinking in her heart that tonight, I’m afraid it would be a sleepless night!
After sending Yun’er back, Zhang Ruochen once again returned to the center of the snow-filled compound.
Standing in the snow, he remained still, letting the snowflakes fall piece by piece on his head and shoulders.
“Quiet as a crouching elephant, moving like a wild dragon. Dragon Image Prajna Palm 2nd Palm, Flying Dragon in the Sky!”
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen violently took a step towards the ground, and countless snowflakes rushed up. It was as if his arms and legs had transformed into a speedily rotating turbine, rolling up countless white snow.
With the stomping force of his legs, his body soared up more than seven meters, and with a low-pitched dragon’s roar emitting from his mouth, he struck his palm at a thousand-pound boulder ten feet away.
“Boom!”
The piece of thousand-pound boulder immediately split into pieces, and the remnants of the stone flew in all directions, crashing down into the thick snow.
Zhang Ruochen stood in the snow, staring at the broken boulder with a few moments of delight, “Finally, I have successfully cultivated the second palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm. Now, the power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm is comparable to a human grade mid-grade martial skill.”
Not only was the second palm “Flying Dragon in the Sky”, but the first palm “Barbarian Elephant Chasing the Earth” had also reached the power of a human grade mid-grade martial skill.
If Zhang Ruochen cultivated the third palm, then the power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm would be comparable to a Human Grade Upper Grade martial skill.
With each additional palm cultivated, it would rise by one grade, becoming even more brilliant and subtle.
“The first palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, Barbarian Elephant Chi Earth!”
Zhang Ruochen stepped on his feet and rushed out furiously, his body like a brute elephant running at a fast pace, his palm striking the air and sending out a series of air explosions.
Countless snowflakes, shaken out by the palm force, melted into drops of ice and water in the air.
“Although the first palm, ‘Barbarian Elephant Chi-Ti’, is slightly weaker than the second palm, it has indeed reached the power of a Human Grade Medium Grade Martial Skill. Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, it’s truly subtle.”
With his current power, not to say that he had reached the power of a savage elephant, he had at least reached the power of a savage bull!
In martial arts cultivation, this was known as the “power of a bull”.
It was important to realize that not every martial artist at the late Yellow Extreme Realm was capable of erupting with the power of a bull. To be able to produce the power of a bull was already at the upper middle level amongst late Huangji realm martial artists.
Zhang Ruochen had only just cultivated to the late stage of the Yellow Extreme Realm, and with the advantage of the six meridians in his body, coupled with the power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, he was already able to erupt with the power of a bull, which could be described as having unlimited potential.
As his cultivation deepened and his physical body strengthened in the future, he would definitely be able to erupt with even more power.
After Zhang Ruochen cleared away all the remnants of the stones in the compound, he returned to his room and instead of cultivating, he lay on the bed, letting himself completely relax and enter a deep sleep.
After breaking through to the late stage of the Yellow Extreme Realm, he could finally sleep peacefully.
He had originally thought that he would need three months to reach this realm. However, with the time power of the Time Spirit Crystal and a large amount of cultivation resources, it only took half a month to reach this realm.
Before the end of the year examination, he was again confident of breaking through to a higher realm.
After resting for the night, Zhang Ruochen’s essence once again became very full and his body was filled with power.
“I’ve already consumed most of the Qi Gathering Pills and Body Refining Scatter, so I’ll go to the Martial Market to purchase some more.”
After having breakfast with Concubine Lin and Yun’er, Zhang Ruochen left the royal palace alone and traveled towards the Martial Market.
When he arrived at the Dan Market, he walked into a store called “Qingxuan Pavilion”.
This store was located at the crossroads and was one of the top three stores in the Dan Market. Most of the passing martial artists would come in to have a look, some to buy suitable pills, while others would come to sell the precious medicinal herbs that they had just collected.
An old man with a black mole at the corner of his mouth, at some point, walked up behind Zhang Ruochen and asked with a smile, “This gentleman, are you purchasing the Qi Gathering Pill?”
Zhang Ruochen’s heart was slightly startled as he turned around and gave that old man a deep look.
This old man was somewhat uncomplicated, he could actually walk behind Zhang Ruochen without a sound, and if he had not taken the initiative to speak, Zhang Ruochen would have had difficulty in discovering him.
Definitely a martial arts expert!
That one old man smiled and introduced himself, “Old man, Mo Hanlin, is the shopkeeper of this Dan store.”
“So it’s the shopkeeper, my name is Zhang.” Zhang Ruochen nodded and added, “I want to purchase fifty Qi Gathering Pills and thirty copies of Body Refining Powder. I wonder if Qingxuan Pavilion has a large enough stock?”
Mo Hanlin’s heart was slightly startled, what a large order, only those big families would purchase so many cultivation resources at once. It was too rare for a single martial artist to purchase so many pills.
The Qi Gathering Pill and the Body Refining Scatter were not cheap items, and unusual martial artists could not afford them.
“If Young Master Zhang were to go to another house, he might not really be able to buy so many pills. What a coincidence, our Qingxuan Pavilion happens to have a batch of Qi Gathering Pills and Body Refining Dispersions that can definitely fulfill Young Master Zhang’s needs.”
Mo Hanlin took out an abacus and crackled and fiddled with it for a while, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly as he said, “Fifty Qi Gathering Pills and thirty Body Refining Dispersions, the original price is 80,000 silver coins. However, Young Master Zhang naturally has a certain discount for purchasing such a large portion at once. Hmm! You’ll just pay seventy-two thousand silver coins!”
Zhang Ruochen laughed, “Boss, you’re really a refreshing person, I’ll buy all my future purchases of pills from you.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t have many silver coins left on him, not enough to pay such a large sum of money, so he first went to the Martial Market Money Bank and withdrew 200,000 silver coins out.
Spending seventy-two thousand silver coins, together with the silver coins left over from before, he still had a total of one hundred and thirty-five thousand silver coins on him.
Completing this great deal, Mo Hanlin’s face was about to turn into a smile as he said, “Young Master Zhang, I don’t know, are you purchasing anything else?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “What I want to purchase, you definitely don’t sell it here, shopkeeper.”
Mo Hanlin said, “Could it be that Young Master Zhang is looking to buy a weapon that is handy?”
Zhang Ruochen looked at the in charge a few points more highly and said, “In charge, what a great eye.”
Mo Hanlin smiled and said, “After decades of being a shopkeeper, I’ve seen not ten thousand, but eight thousand martial artists, and I’ve never seen a few people who don’t wear weapons with them. How about this! Our Qingxuan Pavilion also has a branch in the Weapon Market, I’ll have one of the little fellows, take you there.”
A few moments later, Mo Hanlin found a young fatty of fifteen or six years old and said to him, “Bean, immediately take this honorable Young Master Zhang to the Weapon Market and tell the boss’s wife that Mr. Zhang is a valued guest of our Qing Xuan Pavilion, and that we should give Mr. Zhang an appropriate discount in terms of price.”
The little fatty called Beanzi stared with wide eyes and shook his head vigorously, saying, “No go! Not going! I don’t want to see the Boss Lady, the Boss Lady is capable of seducing men’s souls. If I see her, I’ll be dead.”
Mo Hanlin was furious and rasped, “You’re not a man, you can only be considered a half-grown boy at best now, what’s there to be afraid of? Fine! If you don’t go, you won’t be given the Qi Gathering Dan this month.”
Bean was instantly anxious and hurriedly said, “Don’t, don’t, I’ll go, I’ll go! It’s not okay for me to go!”
Bean walked towards Zhang Ruochen and respectfully said, “Young Master Zhang, please!”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and followed Beanzi, traveling towards the Weapon Market.
Zhang Ruochen always felt that there was something odd about this Qingxuan Pavilion’s shopkeeper, who didn’t seem to be an ordinary person. Of course, he wasn’t worried about the other party having bad intentions, after all, there was an army guarding the Ware Market, and the management was very strict, no one dared to mess around in the Ware Market at all.
Bean said in a low voice, ”Young Master Zhang, do you really want to go to the Boss Lady’s place to buy weapons? The Boss Lady is capable of seducing a man’s soul! Young Master Zhang, are you a man?”
“Eh …… I’m just a boy too!” Zhang Ruochen said.
Bean let out a long sigh of relief and said, “That’s great!”
Beanzi was white and chubby, with a punchy braid on his head, two beckoning ears, and eyes as small as soybeans.
Zhang Ruochen was a bit curious and said, “You said that the boss’s wife can seduce a man’s soul, could it be that the boss’s wife is very pretty?”
Bean nodded and said, “The boss’s wife is naturally very pretty, she is simply of national color, sexually/sexually enchanting, a single stare over makes one’s little heart flutter, and even a glance at her will make one’s face blush and heart flutter. However, what you don’t know is that the boss’s wife has married seven bosses.”
“Married seven bosses?” Zhang Ruochen was a bit surprised.
Beanzi added, “That’s right! All seven bosses died, all on the night of the wedding.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “After the seven bosses died, what happened to their industries?”
“Naturally, they all belonged to the boss’s wife! Even our family’s shopkeeper is just working for the Boss Lady.”
Bean whispered, “The boss’s wife is simply the Heavenly Fate, the reincarnation of the Soul Hooker, a fox who has become a spirit, any man who meets her would have a hard time surviving for more than three days. Luckily we are all boys, we shouldn’t have our souls seduced by her.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “I hope so!”
