How could Zhang Ruochen not understand the mind of the Sacred Book Talent Girl?
Zhang Ruochen didn’t point it out, but just took out all the remaining Green Dragon Divine Dew and handed it over, saying, “The leaf dews of these Divine Medicines may not be as precious as the Xuanhuang Pill, however, they are tremendously helpful to Spiritual Strength Cultivators, and I hope that they can bring your Spiritual Strength to the next level.”
With spiritual power reaching the fifty-fourth rank, it was already incomparably difficult to make any further improvement.
However, with these Green Dragon Divine Dew that Zhang Ruochen had sent out, it was still no problem for the Sacred Book Talented Maiden to raise her spiritual strength from the early stage of the fifty-fourth rank to the middle stage.
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden did not make any pretences and directly accepted the Green Dragon Divine Dew, smiling sweetly, “The Green Dragon Divine Dew and the Ancient Tea of the Sacred Dao are simply a perfect match, it seems that my spiritual strength is going to rapidly grow by a large margin again.”
Drinking tea, discussing the Dao, and being accompanied by a beautiful woman was supposed to be a physically and mentally pleasurable thing, but unfortunately, Zhang Ruochen was not in such a mood, and in the end, he only had to leave early.
Returning to the Boundary Son Mansion, Zhang Ruochen picked up Princess Bai Li from the Qiankun Realm, explained the current situation to her, and instructed, “With Elder Li Sheng being killed, the Ghost Nurturing Ancient Clan and Corpse Catching Ancient Clan will surely send their experts over to investigate tonight, and once they are found out, they will be killed on sight.”
Princess Baili’s hands were clasped in front of her chest, and she said in a calm manner, “Why don’t you kill them now and directly exterminate them?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to wait for all of them to arrive and then kill them all in one go?”
Zhang Ruochen learnt from the Sacred Book Talented Lady that in the gathering place of the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan and the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan, only the Feng Yin Shadow was guarding there.
Once Feng Yin Ying was moved, it would definitely cause other experts to sense the danger and then flee the Central Imperial City, in which case, it would undoubtedly be like spooking a snake.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen also wanted to take this opportunity to raise his cultivation level some more.
Entering a cultivation chamber in the Boundary Son’s Mansion, Zhang Ruochen began his seclusion.
Fusing the memories of the six lifetimes and the Saint Dao Sense, thus, Zhang Ruochen’s understanding of the Saint Dao was far beyond his current realm, and he only needed to swallow Saint Pills and Saint Pills to raise his cultivation level.
“Right now, I’m at the mid-stage of the Upper Realm Saint realm, so I’ll first cultivate to the peak of the Upper Realm Saint realm before swallowing the Xuanhuang Dan, so that I won’t waste the medicinal properties of the pills.”
Zhang Ruochen took out a ten thousand year old vintage Saint Pill, the Four Coloured Cloud Lotus, from the Qiankun Realm.
Mobilising the Pure Destruction Divine Flame, he refined the Four-Coloured Cloud Lotus into four different coloured droplets, all the impurities were all refined away, leaving only the most essential part.
After swallowing the medicinal liquid of the Four-Coloured Cloud Lotus, Zhang Ruochen’s body was as if it had changed into a Four-Coloured Divine Stone, with four different types of light intertwining on top of his skin.
At the same time, the cultivation realm was violently rising at a speed that was more than a hundred times the usual speed. This was the speed of enhancement that could only be possessed by refining a Saint Pill.
……
…………
In the Central Imperial City, the seventh city domain, there was a manor that covered an area of a thousand acres.
The Bright Mirror Villa.
This was where the cultivators of the Ghost Raising Ancient Clan and the Corpse Catching Ancient Clan gathered, and even during the day, the Bright Mirror Villa was filled with an eerie atmosphere, with ghosts roaming about, corpse generals practicing their swords, and even the water in the small lake was blood red.
Feng Yin Ying sat in the lobby, staring at a half-saint kneeling below, a vicious colour appearing on his pale face: ”What are you saying, Elder Ling Gu is also gone for good? Starting from Elder Li Sheng, this is already the fourth batch of cultivators to go to the Boundary Sub-Foundation to investigate, and surprisingly, all of them have fallen like a stone into the sea. This Boundary Son Mansion has even become a forbidden land of death?”
The half saint kneeling below, said in a trembling voice, “Surely …… surely there …… are experts secretly guarding the …… Boundary Sub Mansion. ”
“Ling Fei Yu has already been held back by the Spirit King Saint Ancestor, what other expert can kill three Saints and two Ghost Kings in a row without a sound?”
If it wasn’t for the fact that the Bright Mirror Villa still needed someone to sit in on it, Feng Yin Ying would have already rushed to the Boundary Son Mansion in person, curious to know just what kind of dragon’s den was there?
Right at this moment, Feng Yinying detected a powerful Saint Dao fluctuation that entered the Bright Mirror Villa, causing the entire Villa to become even colder and more eerie.
“Spirit King Saint Ancestor has returned!”
The frost on Feng Yin Ying’s face dissipated, revealing a joyful expression as his figure shifted and he disappeared from above his seat.
At the centre of the Bright Mirror Villa, there was a blood-red lake.
At this moment, a dark black coffin was floating on the surface of the water.
On the surface of the coffin, a single arcane ghost text flowed, and above each ghost text, a gloomy and cold aura emanated out, so that an ordinary Half-Saint, even if he stood by the lakeshore, would be frozen by that gloomy and cold aura.
The Spirit King Saint Ancestor was lying in the coffin.
Feng Yin Ying appeared on the shores of the blood lake, sensing that the state of the Spirit King Sacred Ancestor was a little off, he was a little surprised and said, “Sacred Ancestor, are you injured?”
A vast voice came out from the coffin, “Ling Fei Yu is worthy of being a Heaven’s Proud Daughter who was once invincible in an era, even though she has only just broken through to the Saint King realm, her battle prowess is no longer below that of the old me. However, although old me is injured, she is no better.”
“In that case, Saint Ancestor will recuperate from his injuries at ease, and leave the next matter to this Saint.”
Feng Yin Yin Shadow left the blood lake and returned to the lobby, pondering carefully, saying, “With the Sacred Ancestor’s injuries, and the appearance of an unidentified powerhouse in the Boundary Son’s Mansion, it seems like it’s time to invite the Heaven’s Destiny Corpse Emperor back.”
With that, Feng Yin Ying carved out a summoning light talisman and punched it out.
In the Boundary Son Mansion, with the help of the Pure Destruction Divine Flame, Zhang Ruochen had only spent three days to completely absorb the medicinal power of a Saint Pill, and his cultivation had broken through to the late stage of the Upper Realm Saints in one fell swoop, his cultivation having grown by a large amount again.
Although it was a bit of a waste of the Saint Pill, Zhang Ruochen was already quite satisfied with such a huge increase, which was simply comparable to the results of a year of usual cultivation.
“Refining another Saint Pill should be enough to impact the peak of the Upper Realm Saint.”
Zhang Ruochen took out another Saint Pill, this one had a vintage that surpassed the Four-Coloured Cloud Lotus and was close to 20,000 years old.
After refining the Saint Pill into a medicinal liquid, he once again swallowed the medicinal liquid.
Only about an hour had passed, when suddenly, a burning power came from the location of his chest, causing Zhang Ruochen’s body to feel like it was about to burst into flames.
“What’s the situation?”
Zhang Ruochen hurriedly stopped refining the medicinal liquid and ripped open his lapel, only to see that there was a Saint pattern flowing from the chest location, intertwining into the shape of a rune.
“Saint match! Haha, it’s finally filled with Saint Qi again and manifested.”Zhang Ruochen was in a great mood.
After the Supreme Elder Yan Li Ren had given a tattered and tattered Saint Consistent Rune to Zhang Ruochen, he had only used it once before exhausting the holy energy in the runic symbol, and then, it was integrated into Zhang Ruochen’s body.
Since then, the Holy Symbol had been constantly absorbing the Holy Qi in Zhang Ruochen’s body without any changes, and it was only until now that it had reappeared.
In other words, Zhang Ruochen was able to use the power of Saint Compatibility again.
With Saint Compatibility as his base card, Zhang Ruochen’s certainty became even greater when it came to cleaning up the Ghost Nurturing Ancient Race and the Corpse Catching Ancient Race.
Right at this moment, a fluctuation appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power, detecting a familiar aura in the Boundary Son’s Mansion, a strange look appeared in his eyes, “It’s her.”
Zhang Ruochen stopped his cultivation and walked out of the secret room, and inside a small courtyard in the Boundary Son’s Mansion, he saw Ling Fei Yu standing under the plum blossom tree.
The plum blossoms on the tree were exceptionally bright and scarlet like blood.
In the sky, on the other hand, there was a white snowflake floating, sprinkling on the ground, falling on the branches of the tree, piling up on the petals, so white that there was not a trace of impurity, and with the colour of the plum blossom, forming a sharp contrast.
The red plum, the white snow, and a scarlet-clad beauty standing under the tree, actually formed an absolutely beautiful scenery.
Ling Fei Yu had his back to Zhang Ruochen, seemingly enjoying the plums, but also as if he was waiting for someone.
“A snowy day and meeting an old friend, today is really a happy day.”
Seeing Ling Fei Yu, Zhang Ruochen was in an excellent mood, with a small excitement of being reunited after a long time, stepping on the snow, he quickly walked over, on the ground, leaving a series of footprints.
However, Zhang Ruochen had yet to approach Ling Fei Yu ……
“Wow!”
Inside Ling Fei Yu’s body, a red silhouette flew out, holding a long sword, and stabbed at Zhang Ruochen with a sword.
It was just a sword, but it had thousands of sword shadows, full of infinite variables, making people unable to grasp it.
In Zhang Ruochen’s hand, he condensed a crystal clear Holy Qi longsword and performed a move of the Nine Lives Sword Technique to meet her and break her sword momentum.
The red silhouette, Ling Fei Yu’s doppelganger, had an incomparably powerful sword technique, and by the time it attacked the fifth move, it was forcing Zhang Ruochen to find it difficult to parry.
“Zi Sword.”
Zhang Ruochen used the Time Sword Technique, his sword speed increased by more than ten times, and with just one sword, he broke all the red silhouette’s sword moves and launched a counterattack.
The red silhouette did not continue to strike and retreated back, overlapping with Ling Fei Yu’s figure.
“Not bad, it’s already very close to the realm of a Sword Saint, especially that last move, even an ordinary Sword Saint may not be able to resist it.”
Ling Fei Yu turned around and finally looked squarely at Zhang Ruochen, as if she was an icy lotus, making people feel unable to get close.
The Saint Sword in Zhang Ruochen’s hand dispersed and turned into a wisp of white smoke as he laughed, “You’ve come at the perfect time, I have just the question to ask you?”
“Speak.”
Ling Fei Yu said succinctly.
Zhang Ruochen said, “How exactly should I go about comprehending the final layer of the Seven of Swords realm, Sword Out Without Regret? I’ve spent a lot of time and energy without making a single progress.”
“Have you ever done anything that you regret?”Ling Feiyu asked.
Zhang Ruochen gently shook his head and said, “Since it’s something you’ve done, why should you regret it?”
Even for that relationship with Chi Yao, Zhang Ruochen only hated it and had no remorse.
“You don’t even know what it means to have remorse, so how can you know what it means to have no remorse? It’s like a person who doesn’t know what’s wrong, doesn’t know what’s right; doesn’t know what’s love, doesn’t know what’s hate. Anything that is relative exists at the same time.”Ling Feiye said.
Without darkness, who knows what light is?
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes narrowed as he said, “In other words, my experience is not enough?”
“Sword Out Without Regret also requires you to have an overwhelming state of mind, and without comprehending this level of realm, even if you cultivate the Sword Eight to its great completion, you will still only be a Pseudo Sword Saint.”Ling Fei Yu said.
