The Sheridan contained incomparably powerful spiritual power and knowledge, just like a golden ocean, even with Zhang Ruochen’s current spiritual power strength, it was as small as a drop of water compared to the golden ocean.
It was the fact that the Sherry Seed contained a huge amount of spiritual power and knowledge, so Zhang Ruochen could greedily absorb it, transform it into his own knowledge, and continuously improve the strength of his spiritual power.
Of course, the Sherry Seed wasn’t just able to enhance a cultivator’s spiritual energy, it could also enhance a cultivator’s cultivation. Only, Zhang Ruochen’s meridians and holy veins were destroyed, so he was unable to absorb the holy power and holy dao rules in the Sherri Seed.
The Sherri Seed was equivalent to being the inheritance of the Buddha Emperor and the Golden Dragon, the two great saints of the Buddha Dao.
After just a few moments of refining, Zhang Ruochen felt that his spiritual power had risen considerably again, getting closer to the fifty-third rank.
At this moment, a meaty aroma came from the tip of his nose, and Zhang Ruochen stopped cultivating and opened his eyes to find that Qing Mo was actually really roasting a dragon claw.
It wasn’t a whole dragon claw, but a small section, even so, it was still with three metres long, and it was feared that there had to be thousands of pounds of dragon meat.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen’s eyes staring straight at the dragon meat, Qing Mo smiled cheekily, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Female Sage Liu Li and Female Sage Yuan Rustling also both stopped healing their wounds, and when they smelled the fragrance, they gently licked their lips with a burning light in their eyes.
It couldn’t be helped, the food made by Qing Mo was just so enticing that it could completely draw out one’s appetite, no longer able to do anything else.
Finally, the dragon meat was cooked through.
The four of them immediately began to share the food, and both Zhang Ruochen and the two Female Saints didn’t care about their image at all as they fought with each other, and in a few moments, their mouths were full of grease, and they had eaten the dragon meat cleanly.
Female Saint Liu Li chirped her mouth and licked her fingers, saying, ”Before I met Miss Qing Mo, I had always thought that there was no one else in the world whose culinary skills could be compared to that Divine Maiden in the palace. Today, it is an eye-opener for me, I didn’t think that I could taste such deliciousness outside the palace.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “In the world, there is still someone whose culinary skills can be compared to Qing Mo?”
The Liu Li Female Saint nodded and said, “By the side of the Empress, there are a total of nine Xuan Maidens, each of whom has extraordinary strength that we can all only look up to and revere. Among them, there is a Xuan Maiden who has received the inheritance of the Ancient Food God and possesses the most marvellous pair of hands in the world, known as the Wonderful Hand Divine Maiden. Every dish she made was not only incredibly delicious, but also, possessed the marvellous power to enhance one’s cultivation or spiritual power. Eating a dish is like swallowing a holy elixir.”
“Eating a dish is comparable to swallowing a Holy Dan, this is too exaggerated, right?”
Zhang Ruochen was a bit unconvinced because, he was very clear about how precious and difficult it was to refine a Holy Dan. If, a single dish could be comparable to a Sacred Dan, how could those alchemists live?
The Yuan Rustling Female Saint immediately shook her head and said, ”It’s not an exaggeration at all, it’s a true story. Although, the dishes made by the Myriad Hand Divine Maiden can only be tasted by the Empress, but as the female officials beside the Empress, we are also fortunate enough to be rewarded by the Empress and have tasted some of them, and every time we eat them, our cultivation can skyrocket after eating them.”
The Liu Li Female Saint nodded and said, “In fact, with Yuan Rustling and I’s qualifications, it would be a difficult thing to cultivate to the Saint realm in our entire lives. However, we’ve only been cultivating for just two hundred years, yet we’ve already reached the Xuan Huang realm, surpassing many of the top human masters, not only because of the special environment of the Zi Wei Palace, but also because we were able to taste the Myriad Handed Divine Maiden’s dishes.”
The Yuan Rustling Female Saint said, “The dragon meat roasted by Miss Qing Mo also contains a marvellous power that enhances a cultivator’s cultivation, but, compared to the Myriad Handed Divine Maiden, there is still a huge gap. However, in terms of the deliciousness of the food, it is comparable. Miss Qing Mo’s pair of wonderful hands were described as the first on earth. After all, the Myriad Hands Goddess received the inheritance of the God of Food, which is a means that belongs to the gods and does not belong to the earth.”
A god’s inheritance was definitely quite something.
Even if one was a Saint, it was hard to imagine just how profound the inheritance of a god was.
Qing Mo appeared unconcerned and laughed playfully, “I was originally just a girl who cooks, so how can I be compared to that Myriad Handed Goddess. In the future, if I am able to meet her, I will definitely ask her for more advice.”
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen stood up and looked down the mountain through the tattered window pane, his eyes narrowed slightly as he said, “A Saint realm powerhouse, is rushing towards the top of the mountain, his speed is so fast, his cultivation level is at least at the Tongtian realm.”
Female Saint Liu Li and Female Saint Yuan Rustling suffered from the suppression of the mountain’s “potential”, their perceptual ability dropped drastically, and they didn’t notice anything.
“Are Spiritual Power Saints really powerful here? How can the difference be so great when they are both Saints as well?”
The two female Saints looked at each other in dismay as they simultaneously stood up and walked over to Zhang Ruochen’s side, also gazing down the mountain.
A few moments later, a slender figure drenched in blood rushed up from the bottom of the mountain. Her body carried a powerful and unrivalled storm of Saint Qi, causing the entire mountain’s heaven and earth aura to become very chaotic.
She was holding a Saint Sword, and above her crystal clear skin, there were flames burning, and her long crimson hair fluttered in the wind, leaving behind grains of bright sparks in the air.
“It’s Lord Martial Saint ……”
“The Martial Saint Lord should be hunted by the Immortal Blood Clan, Gongzi, you must make a move to save her.”
Lady Sage Liu Li and Lady Sage Yuan Rushing couldn’t help but grab Zhang Ruochen’s arms and stared at him with pleading gazes, as if they truly regarded him as an omnipotent saviour.
The Cang Lan Martial Saint was injured and her face was quite pale, with traces of blood hanging from the corners of her mouth, and her Red Flame Phoenix Armour was covered in Crimson Sacred Blood, leaving behind a blood-red footprint with every step she took.
Behind her, a large mist of blood chased after her.
“Cang Lan Martial Saint, why do you still need to struggle, today, you won’t be able to escape!”
“Having already killed four of our Blood Saints, you still want to escape.”
“Haha, I really want to take in a Xuan woman as a concubine, and I wonder if all those human soldiers will be infuriated when they see this Saint pressing a Xuan woman to his crotch?”
……
A dozen Blood Saints, rushing out from the blood mist, did not slow down to catch up to the mountaintop.
In their opinion, Cang Lan Martial Saint escaping to the mountain top was undoubtedly seeking his own death, and there was no way he would still have a chance to escape. Right now it was a fight of trapped beasts, so as long as they slowly reeled in the net, they would be able to take her down.
“My lord, you must help the Martial Saint Lord, no matter what the conditions are, we can agree.”
The Liu Li Female Saint was quite anxious, there was simply no other way now but to ask Zhang Ruochen for help.
Zhang Ruochen sighed softly, “You guys think too highly of me, I’m not as strong as you guys think, and I’m very heavily injured, so there’s simply no way for me to go out and fight.”
The eyes of the Liu Li Female Sage and the Yuan Rustling Female Sage became a little dark, and then, their eyes became very determined as they rushed out of this broken and tattered hall, wanting to rush out and meet up with the Cang Lan Martial Sage.
Even if they were severely injured and couldn’t help much, they could at least blow up their Saint Origin and die with the Undying Blood Clan.
However, they had only just rushed to the edge of the Taoist temple when they stepped into the spatial maze.
Next, they felt that their bodies were completely out of their control, and while they were clearly charging forwards, their bodies moved to the right or backwards, never being able to leave that area.
“This ……”
The two female saints stopped and slowly moved their feet, however, it was still useless, this area was very weird, like they couldn’t walk out at all.
Cang Lan Martial Saint came outside the Taoist Temple, seeing the two of them, he hurriedly rebuked, “You guys hurry up and get out of here, a large number of Immortal Blood Race Saint realm powerhouses are rushing over.”
The two female Saints acted as if they couldn’t hear her words at all, still moving their feet slowly, sometimes backing up, sometimes jumping upwards, and sometimes moving to the left.
The Cang Lan Martial Saint’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she rushed towards them, ready to take them away with her.
However, after she broke into into the Spatial Maze, her body was no longer under her control either.
The Cang Lan Martial Saint immediately stopped and snorted coldly, “A maze formation is just a maze formation, don’t even think about trapping this Saint.”
She grabbed the hilt of her sword with both hands, and a three feet long fiery sword qi rushed out from the tip of her sword, slashing downwards in an attempt to forcefully break the formation.
However, after she slashed out with this sword, the force of the attack did not fall to the ground, but instead appeared above her head and chopped down towards her snow-white neck.
“Not good.”
The Cang Lan Martial Saint revealed a startled expression as she hastily swung her Saint Sword and chopped upwards, wanting to fend off the sword energy that was falling from above.
However, the sword that chopped upwards changed direction and chopped towards her waist.
The Cang Lan Martial Saint hurriedly crushed a protective jade talisman, forming a defensive light shield before she was able to ward off the two sword qi. This was her last Body Protecting Jade Talisman, how could she not have expected that it would be used to defend against the two attacks she had struck.
However, it was also fortunate that she still had a protective jade talisman left, if the famous Cang Lan Martial Saint had died under her own sword, that would have been a real joke.
With the lesson learnt just now, Cang Lan Martial Saint didn’t dare to move at will and stood in place to observe carefully.
Suddenly, Cang Lan Martial Saint’s pair of beautiful eyes slightly condensed, seeing that outside the Taoist Temple, there were actually two silhouettes standing, a weak and sickly young man, and a sixteen or seventeen year old green-clothed maid.
It was none other than Zhang Ruochen and Qing Mo.
Zhang Ruochen walked into into the Spatial Maze and first brought Lady Sage Liu Li and Lady Sage Yuan Rushing back to the Taoist Temple.
Immediately after, he walked over to the Canglan Martial Saint and said indifferently, “Follow my footsteps, don’t step wrongly.”
The Canglan Martial Saint stared at Zhang Ruochen’s back with puzzled eyes, secretly guessing in his heart if he was the array master who had set up this maze?
The Canglan Martial Saint followed, noting down the location of the steps with every step he took.
Walking into into the Taoist Temple, Female Sage Liu Li and Female Sage Yuan Rustling hurriedly greeted him, asking about Martial Saint Cang Lan’s injuries.
“A small injury, nothing serious, the vast majority of the holy blood that stained my body came from the blood saints of the Immortal Blood Clan.”
Even though the Cang Lan Martial Saint was heavily injured, she still displayed a bashful appearance above that beautiful and touching face, her waist and back straight, proud and heroic.
Zhang Ruochen calmly stood aside, not bothering to dismantle her, but instead staring in the direction of the mountain, looking at the blood mist that continued to surge towards the top of the mountain, and gently sighed.
I didn’t want to invite trouble, but the trouble had to take the initiative to come to my door.
