Outer Palace trainees were also able to use their tokens to enter the Inner Palace School House.
The prerequisite was that they could not disturb the order of the Inner Palace School House, nor were they qualified to listen to Heavenly Extremity Realm Elders’ lectures, and at the same time, they could not enter the Book Pavilion to rummage through the cultivation texts.
These were the rules!
At noon, the bright sun was high in the sky.
A black cat, the size of a fist, strutted into the Inner Palace Academy and came to a relatively secluded place.
That one black cat appeared so ordinary that no one even noticed his existence.
Xiao Hei’s eyes glanced around and stopped, saying in a low voice, “Zhang Ruochen, you can come out now!”
The Time and Space Crystal Stone hanging around Little Black’s neck emitted a circle of white light.
“With a swish, a grain of white light rushed out from the crystal stone and landed on the ground, transforming into a white-clothed teenager.
That teenager was naturally Zhang Ruochen.
“Sure enough, God entered the Inner Palace Academy without realising it.”
Zhang Ruochen’s mouth was tinged with a few smiles as he glanced around, then took a deep breath.
The aura between heaven and earth surged towards him in a steady stream, converging into the Qi Lake in the centre of his eyebrows.
“Worthy of being the Inner Palace Academy, the spiritual qi is three times denser than the Western Academy.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes carried a few looks of anticipation, also wanting to break through the Earth Extreme Realm as soon as possible and become an Inner Palace disciple.
If he was willing, he could break through to the Earth Extreme Realm right now. Only, his goal was the Supreme Extremity Realm of the Xuan Extremity Realm, so he could only temporarily hold down the * of breaking through the realm right now.
“The students in the Inner Palace Academy, the weakest cultivation is at the Earth Extreme Realm, and any of them who walks out, in the martial arts world, is considered to be a top powerhouse, and will be enlisted by various forces.”
Any trainee who was able to become an Inner Palace Disciple of the Martial City School Palace was a first-rate genius, and almost everyone was able to fight across a realm.
Characters such as Xun Guihai’s level were even able to fight across two realms.
For those martial artists in the Yunwu County Kingdom, the Inner Palace Academy of the Martial City Palace was simply like a holy land of martial arts, the cradle of martial arts that everyone longed for and aspired to.
Zhang Ruochen came to the Inner Palace Academy, naturally he had his purpose, and directly headed towards the Inner Palace Academy’s “Tong Sacred Mountain”.
The “Sacred Mountain” was one of the Inner Palace Academy’s important cultivation sites, and in the mountain, there was a vein of spirit crystals. The rich spiritual qi of the Inner Palace Academy was emitted from that Spiritual Crystal Vein.
It could be said that that Spirit Crystal Vein was the root of the establishment of the Martial City Academy.
In the Tong Sheng Mountain, there were dozens of cultivation chambers.
Each cultivation chamber was different from the other, some were “Flame Chambers”, some were “Cold Ice Chambers”, some were “Thunder and Lightning Chambers”, and some were “Hell Chambers”. Hell Chamber”.
Zhang Ruochen went to Tong Sacred Mountain because he wanted to borrow the “Hurricane Chamber”, using the special environment of the chamber to help him succeed in cultivating the Royal Wind Flying Dragon Shadow more quickly.
“Tong Sacred Mountain is a forbidden place, no one is allowed to enter!”
Zhang Ruochen arrived outside the mountain gate of Tong Sheng Mountain and was about to enter the mountain, when two inner palace disciples with impressive appearance walked out, standing on the left and right sides, blocking Zhang Ruochen’s way.
One of the Inner Palace disciples, who looked to be in his thirties, named Huo Sheng, with a goatee beard on his chin, towered over Zhang Ruochen and stared at him coldly, saying, “Who are you?”
The number of Inner Palace disciples of the Martial City Palace of Learning was not large, and almost everyone had a name and a number.
The two Inner Palace disciples guarding the Tong Sheng Mountain had never seen Zhang Ruochen before, so naturally, they would not allow him to enter the Tong Sheng Mountain.
Zhang Ruochen took out the token of the Martial City School Palace and said, “I am an outer palace disciple of the Martial City School Palace.”
“So it’s an outer palace disciple.”
The two Inner Palace disciples both revealed a look of contempt, Huo Sheng sized up Zhang Ruochen’s entire body and indifferently said, “Tong Sheng Mountain is not a place you should come to, leave quickly or else you will not blame us for being impolite.”
Huo Sheng and Zhao Ming Gong were both at the middle stage of the Earth Extremity Realm, belonging to the category of martial arts experts, so they naturally did not place a Xuan Extremity Realm outer palace disciple in their eyes.
Zhang Ruochen put the token back away and said without slowing down, “As far as I know, Outer Palace disciples are also able to enter Tong Sheng Mountain to cultivate. Why are the two senior brothers blocking me out?”
The two Inner Palace disciples guarding the mountain gate both laughed.
Zhao Ming Gong Dao: “The Academic Palace does have this rule, but that’s only for the Outer Palace students who are ranked in the top three of the four academies. If you have that kind of strength, we can let you enter the Tong Sheng Mountain right now. If you don’t have that kind of strength, then you are intent on causing trouble, so we will kill you, and the Martial City Palace will not punish us.”
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was just a teenager in his teens, they naturally wouldn’t believe that Zhang Ruochen would be a genius ranked in the top three of the four academies.
Just at this moment, a woman with a beautiful figure walked out from the Tong Sheng Mountain.
She said from afar, “Huo Sheng, Zhao Ming Gong, you two are too uneducated, don’t you know that the one standing in front of you is the top ranked heavenly pride of the Western Academy?”
Hearing that woman’s voice, Huo Sheng and Zhao Minggong were startled and immediately turned around, saluting that one woman, saying in unison, “Greetings to Senior Sister Chen.”
Zhang Ruochen also didn’t expect that there was actually someone who knew him even in the Martial City Academic Palace. Looking towards that one woman, he couldn’t help but feel a bit awestruck.
It was an extremely beautiful woman with long, treasured blue hair that reached her waist. On her hair bun, there was a white, delicate and small bell tied on. As she walked, the bell emitted a clear and pleasant sound.
Her figure was very tall and curvaceous, with a slender willow waist and two straight jade. Legs were hidden in her skirt. Her appearance was quite similar to Huang Yichen, but her temperament was completely different from Huang Yichen’s, giving off a feeling of softness and femininity.
Zhang Ruochen had some impression of her, like he had seen her somewhere, but he couldn’t remember for a moment.
While Zhang Ruochen was sizing her up, Chen Xi’er was also sizing up Zhang Ruochen.
Chen Xi’er walked up to Zhang Ruochen, an elegant smile on her exquisitely beautiful face as she said, “Senior Brother Zhang, you’re going to enter the Tong Sheng Mountain to cultivate?”
Although Chen Xi’er was extremely beautiful, Zhang Ruochen had seen quite a few beautiful women, so he appeared very calm.
“Because I want to cultivate a martial art, so I plan to borrow a secret cultivation room.”
After saying that, Zhang Ruochen added, “Have Senior Sister and I met somewhere before?”
Chen Xie’er rolled her eyes slightly and said with some grumbling, “Senior Brother Zhang is really a nobleman who forgets things, it wasn’t long ago that we had met at the Heavenly Moon Building. Could it be that Senior Brother Zhang has already forgotten?”
Chen Xi’er’s voice was very pleasing to the ear, just like a lark’s bird, making people unable to help but be intoxicated by her voice.
Zhang Ruochen came to a realisation and finally recalled that he had indeed seen her once at the Heavenly Moon Building, and she was sitting beside Huang Yichen.
Zhang Ruochen said, “I don’t know what Senior Sister’s name is?”
Chen Xi’er narrowed her eyes and smiled as she said, “My name is Chen Xi’er, and I am also the cousin of County Lord Smoke Dust. Logically speaking, I should also call you cousin-in-law.”
In the distance, two Inner Palace disciples who were guarding the mountain gate revealed a look of jealousy in their eyes when they saw Zhang Ruochen and Chen Xi’er talking happily.
In the Heavenly Demon Martial City, there were the “Ten Heavenly Demon Shows” and the “Ten Heavenly Demon Beauties”.
Chen Xi’er was one of the “Ten Heavenly Devil Beauties”, and many Inner Palace trainees regarded her as their dream girl, aiming to marry Chen Xi’er as their cultivation goal.
Normally, even experts among the Inner Palace trainees might not be qualified to have a word with Chen Xi’er. On what basis could a mere outer palace cadet climb into conversation with her?
Huo Sheng and Zhao Ming Gong naturally felt very unbalanced.
“Not just an Outer Palace disciple, what’s the big deal?” Huo Sheng whispered.
Chen Xi’er laughed, “Senior Brother Zhang, if you want to enter the Tong Sheng Mountain for cultivation, you must spend Merit Value. Entering the cultivation chamber once will cost you roughly one hundred merit value points. How much Merit Value do you have left now?”
Zhang Ruochen was slightly stunned and said, “Entering the Tong Sheng Mountain for cultivation requires spending Merit Value?”
Before entering the Red Sky Mysterious Mansion, Zhang Ruochen had spent all of his Merit Value, with none left.
As if she could see Zhang Ruochen’s dilemma, Chen Xier slightly hooked her red lips, revealing her snow-white shell teeth, and laughed, “If Senior Brother’s Merit Values are not enough, just use mine! I can lend it to you first!”
“No need, I’ll spend the silver coins now and go buy the Merit Value.” Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to owe Chen Xi’er a favour.
Using silver coins to purchase Merit Value was the least cost-effective method.
Generally speaking, one point of Merit Value was equivalent to one thousand silver coins.
If one were to use silver coins to purchase Merit Value, yet one would need to spend two thousand silver coins in order to buy one point of Merit Value.
Therefore, in general, no one was willing to use silver coins to buy merit value. Because, it was too much of a loss!
Chen Xi’er nodded and said, ”Actually, there is another way, you can use items to exchange for merit value, which is also relatively cheaper. For example, one drop of Half-Saint True Liquid can be exchanged for two hundred points of Merit Value.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes lit up, using items to exchange Merit Value was a good way.
“Anyway, I’m free right now, why don’t I take you to the Merit Tower.” Chen Xi’er took the initiative.
“Thank you, Senior Sister Chen.”
Zhang Ruochen’s heart sighed, although Chen Xier and Huang Yichen were cousins, their personalities were too much better than Huang Yichen’s and they were helpful.
Beautiful looking and good character. Such a woman was too rare.
Zhang Ruochen and Chen Xi’er walked side by side, talking and laughing all the way, surprisingly having a lot in common, and gradually disappeared into the Tong Sheng Mountain, travelling in the direction of the Merit Tower.
……
“Senior Sister Chen actually personally brought that one Outer Palace Cadet to the Merit Tower?” Huo Sheng was as if he was petrified, feeling incredulous.
Chen Xi’er was the daughter of the Grand Palace Master of the Martial City School Palace, and usually always had an air of superiority, and even the Heavenly Demon Ten Xiu level characters were not placed in her eyes.
Now, actually walking side by side with an outer palace disciple, laughing loudly, naturally shocking Huo Sheng and Zhao Ming Gong.
Zhao Minggong became even more jealous and laughed coldly, ”That brat actually dared to get that close to Senior Sister Chen, he really doesn’t know how to die. In the Martial City Academy, there are so many talented and handsome people who pursue Senior Sister Chen, how come it’s not his turn. Should we tell Senior Brother Zuo about this matter?”
“Right! Tell Senior Brother Zuo about this matter and let him teach that brat a lesson.” Huo Sheng also revealed a grim smile.
“The entire Inner Palace Academy students know that Senior Brother Zuo is pursuing Senior Sister Chen, if we tell him about this matter, with his temper, he will have to tear that one Outer Palace student apart. Hehehe!” Zhao Ming Gong Dao.
Huo Sheng stayed behind and continued to guard the gates of Tong Sheng Mountain.
On the other hand, Zhao Ming Gong left Tongming Mountain and rushed towards Zuo Lengxuan’s Secret Mansion of Cultivation, to tell Zuo Lengxuan about this matter.
