- After returning to Yushu Palace and gathering with Princess Lin for a short while, Zhang Ruochen took Little Black and returned to his room.
“You’re only at the Yellow Extremity Realm Great Extremity Position, and you’ve opened up twenty-seven meridians, just what level of technique are you cultivating?” Little Black asked curiously.
Zhang Ruochen said, “I’m not too sure!”
Zhang Ruochen really didn’t know what level of gong method the Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Scripture was, in the entire Kunlun Realm, only Emperor Ming and him cultivated the Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Scripture.
Little ****: ”As far as this seat knows, only a technique that has reached the lower grade of the King Grade can allow a martial artist to open up twenty-seven meridians. However, you are now at the Yellow Extremity Realm Great Extremity Position, and there is still room for improvement, definitely more than just opening up twenty seven meridians. Could it be that you are cultivating a …… divine grade technique?”
“Perhaps!”
Zhang Ruochen’s face also became a bit gloomy, it seemed that in the future, he must wear the Ice Fire Qilin Armour on his body at all times to hide his cultivation.
Otherwise, if it was known that he was cultivating a more powerful technique than the King Grade Technique, it would definitely bring him a killing curse, and even the Yunwu County King wouldn’t be able to protect him.
Fortunately, the only people who knew that he had opened up twenty-seven meridians right now were the Yunwu County King and Liu Chuan Shen, the owner of the Martial City Money Bank.
County King Yunwu would definitely not tell.
As for Liu Chuan Shen’s side, County King Yunwu would definitely go and give an explanation, and, it was definitely not as simple as just saying hello.
Before cultivating, Zhang Ruochen took Little Black back into the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram again.
This one cat had a lot of heart eyes and had to be wary.
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen put the Sixth Grade True Martial Treasure Artifact Grade Ice and Fire Qilin Armour, which was close to his body, and then began to cultivate.
“We must reach the peak of the Great Extreme Position as soon as possible!”
Zhang Ruochen took out a second grade elixir, Sanqing True Qi Pill, and swallowed it into his stomach.
“Boom!”
The Three Clear True Qi Pill cracked inside his body and transformed into three strands of true qi, like three rivers of true qi flowing rapidly inside Zhang Ruochen’s body.
All the true qi in the twenty-seven meridians operated, frantically absorbing the Dan Qi of the Three Qing True Qi Pills, transforming it into his own true qi and storing it in the Qi Pool.
After spending three hours, Zhang Ruochen absorbed all the Dan Qi from the Three Clear True Qi Pill.
“Refining one San Qing True Qi Pill has increased the True Qi in the Qi Pool by seventy percent. I still have eight more Three Clear True Qi Pills and four Heavenly Elephant Red Flame Pills, if I refine them all, I should be able to cultivate the True Qi in the Qi Pool to perfection, reaching the peak of the Great Extremity Position.”
Zhang Ruochen continued to cultivate.
For the next eight days, Zhang Ruochen spent three hours a day refining a Three Clear True Qi Pill, four hours resting, and the rest of the time, all of which was spent practicing inscribing spatial inscriptions.
Eight days later.
Zhang Ruochen refined all the remaining eight Three Clear True Qi Pills, and the True Qi in his body, compared to eight days ago, had increased by six times, becoming incomparably thicker.
With his current strength, if he were to fight Liu Xifeng again, he would be able to defeat him within ten moves.
However, the true qi in the qi pool was still not complete and had not reached the peak of the Great Extreme Position.
Zhang Ruochen took out the four Heavenly Elephant Red Flame Pills and placed them in front of him.
The Heavenly Elephant Red Flame Pill, belonged to the third grade pills, and its main function was to temper the physical body, enhance a martial artist’s physique, and increase his or her strength.
Of course, a third grade elixir was after all much more powerful than a second grade elixir, and it could also enhance the True Qi reserves to a certain extent.
After spending another eight days, Zhang Ruochen refined all four Heavenly Elephant Red Flame Pills, and his physical body physique improved by a large margin.
When he had just broken through the Great Extreme Position of the Yellow Extreme Realm, Zhang Ruochen could burst out with the strength of thirty-six oxen without the use of martial skills.
However, now, even if he didn’t use martial arts techniques, he could still burst out with forty-five oxen of strength. If he used the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, he would even be able to burst out fifty-eight oxen of power.
Moreover, the true qi in the qi pool had finally been cultivated to perfection, reaching the peak of the Great Extreme Position.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current strength, he only needed one move to defeat Liu Xifeng or even kill him.
“With my current strength, I shouldn’t be the slightest bit weaker even when compared to a martial artist at the early Xuan Polarity Realm. There shouldn’t be many of those in the top ten of the Yellow Ranking who are as strong as me.”
After seventeen days of cultivation inside the Time and Space Crystal Stone, only six days had passed in the outside world.
Since he had reached the peak of the Great Extreme Position, he could enter the Barbarian God Pool to cultivate.
Zhang Ruochen had long been impatient, and with the Fourth Grade Pill Kirin Pill, he travelled in the direction of the Shrine of the Emperors.
The soldiers guarding the Shrine Hall of the Zhu Emperors had obviously long since received orders from the Yunwu County King, knowing that Zhang Ruochen would come to the Barbarian God Pool to cultivate, so they did not stop Zhang Ruochen and directly let him pass.
Entering the Hall of All Emperors’ Shrine, Zhang Ruochen then travelled straight towards the Barbarian God Pool under the ground.
The blood-red pool water was like magma, forever boiling.
Zhang Ruochen was entering the Barbarian God Pool for the second time to cultivate, and walked straight to the middle zone of the Barbarian God Pool, where the water submerged his waist.
The temperature of the pool water was extremely high, and a burning stinging pain came from it, and Zhang Ruochen’s skin below his waist was almost about to crack.
Fortunately, he had successfully opened up his chakra veins, and his true qi flowed through his skin, forming a pattern of light that guarded Zhang Ruochen’s physical body.
At the same time, Zhang Ruochen’s pores began to absorb the blood essence power, carrying it through his pores to the Chakra Vein, and then through the Chakra Vein, carrying the blood essence power towards his entire body.
With every quarter of an hour that passed, Zhang Ruochen’s physique would visibly improve by a fraction.
Two days later, Zhang Ruochen had completely adapted to the Medium Zone and took a step towards the High Zone.
When Zhang Ruochen walked to the high zone of the Barbarian God Pool, the water of the pool completely submerged his chest, flush to the position of his neck.
The power of the blood essence in the high zone was even denser, and the temperature climbed to a terrifying level.
“Puffing!”
Even if Zhang Ruochen opened up his chakra veins, he was unable to resist that force, and the skin below his neck completely melted in almost an instant.
His body became a bloody mess, and if someone were to stand by the Barbarian God Pool at this moment and look through the water, they would realise that Zhang Ruochen looked like he had turned into a bloody man.
The wave of pain almost caused Zhang Ruochen to scream out.
Zhang Ruochen clenched his teeth and immediately swallowed the Fourth Grade Pill Kirin Dan into his mouth.
“Ow!”
A unicorn-like whistling sound resounded within Zhang Ruochen’s body.
A blood-red glow rushed out from the top of his head, forming a kylin-like cloud.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current cultivation level, he was unable to refine the Fourth Grade Pill at all, and if he were to forcefully refine it, he would only explode and die.
At the same time, with his current cultivation level, he was also unable to resist the power of the blood essence in the high zone of the Barbarian God Pool, and if he were to forcefully enter the high zone to cultivate, his body would be refined into pus and blood.
At this moment, although Zhang Ruochen was in excruciating pain, he didn’t explode and die, nor was his body melted by the blood essence force.
One was a power that came from within, and the other was a power that came from without.
The two forces, surprisingly, formed a delicate balance.
Time was lost like this, minute by minute, as the Kirin Dan Qi and the power of the Blood Essence continued to integrate into Zhang Ruochen’s body, causing his physique to continuously improve.
……
Meanwhile, in the Lin Family, something big was happening.
Lin Jingye, the old family head of the Lin Family, returned to the King City from the Heavenly Demon Ridge and returned to the Lin Mansion.
When Lin Jingye returned to the Lin Mansion, he immediately asked his three sons to go and meet him.
Lin Jingye’s three sons were Lin Fengxian, the current head of the Lin Family, his second son, Lin Enbo, and his third son, Lin Xizhao.
Lin Fengxian bowed to Lin Jingye, who was sitting above him, and respectfully said, “Greetings to father! I wonder if father has broken through to the Heavenly Extremity Realm this time when he went to the Heavenly Demon Ridge to look for a chance?”
Lin Jingye said, “How easy is it to break through to the Heavenly Extremity Realm? This time when my father went to the Heavenly Demon Ridge, he did obtain some opportunities and his cultivation level has risen again. Although he hasn’t broken through yet, he has found a way to break through to the Heavenly Extreme Realm. Within three years, I should be able to cross into that realm!”
“That’s really great!”
Lin Fengxian, Lin Enbo, and Lin Xizhao were all overjoyed.
One must know that a clan with a Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist sitting on the ground and a clan without a Heavenly Extremity Realm martial artist sitting on the ground were two completely different concepts.
If Lin Jingye broke through to the Heavenly Extremity Realm, the Lin family’s status in the Yunwu County Kingdom would immediately climb to another level, becoming the third seventh-rate family in the Yunwu County Kingdom.
Even the Yunwu County King would attach great importance to a seventh-rate family.
Right now, in the Yunwu County Kingdom, there were only two seventh-rate families and twelve eighth-rate families in total.
The Lin family, right now, was one of the twelve eighth-rate families.
Those two seventh-rate families were the State Master Xue Family and the Situ Family.
Lin Jingye smiled and said, ”Old me just entered the city, and I heard that the Yunwu County Kingdom had produced a martial arts prodigy who became a Yellow Ranked Martial Artist at the young age of sixteen. Moreover, that martial arts prodigy is none other than my old husband’s grandson, Ninth Prince Zhang Ruochen. Haha! Duster really is a great talent, it’s gratifying.”
“Feng Xian, what happened three years ago is not Lan Er’s fault after all. Even if you’ve had your anger, you’ve had your anger, and you’ve had your grievances, find a chance to go and apologise to Lan’er, after all, you are brother and sister, and your relationship can’t remain this stagnant.”
“Besides, Lan’er has given birth to a martial arts prodigy, as a grandfather, old me also feels very honoured. You invite Duan’er to come to the Lin Mansion to have some fun as well, he and Muddy Shan can be said to be childhood friends, their relationship can’t be rusty! Haha! Old me remembers that back then, the County King even mentioned that he wanted to fix a marriage for them. This matter might still have a chance!”
The faces of the three people standing below all became oddly silent, surprisingly no one dared to take the initiative to speak.
The smile on Lin Jingye’s face withdrew, a sense of foreboding arose in his heart, and he said in a deep voice, “Why are they all silent, what happened?”
The second Lin Enbo gave a cold smile and took a step forward, saying, “Father, it’s better for me to speak! A few months ago, the fourth sister brought His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince back once with great difficulty, wanting to repair relations with the Lin family, only to be ruthlessly humiliated by big brother, who drove them out of the Lin Mansion. LMAO! Fourth Sister and His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince must have a lot of resentment towards the Lin Family, not to mention still being relatives, but now, they’re practically enemies. Boss, it’s all your doing! Hmph!”
The oldest three, Lin Xizhao, also said, “Right! I also felt at first that big brother had gone too far, that’s our fourth sister, and our nephew, how could you treat them like that?”
Lin Jingye became even colder and angrier, staring at Lin Fengxian, saying, “Boss, you’re the head of the family, how can you do things so violently? Duster is only sixteen years old and has become a Yellow Ranked Martial Artist, his future achievements are unlimited, if he becomes the Grand King of the Yunwu County Kingdom, the Lin Family will suffer a catastrophe. Go to the palace with the old man now and make amends to your sister! You bast*rd, you’re pissing me off!”
