Swallowing the Six Sacred Ascension Wine was able to bring the physique of a low-level cultivator to the level of a Sacred Body. For any power, any great world, it was a treasure with far-reaching significance that could continuously cultivate a large number of elite cultivators.
If Chi Yao had known that Wine Crazy Man was capable of refining the Six Sacred Ascension Wine in the first place, she definitely wouldn’t have handed him over to the Moon God.
Zhang Ruochen said, “What about having me provide you with the raw materials?”
“That won’t work either. Unless, you go and discuss with the Moon God, only with her permission will I be able to help you brew the Six Saint Ascending Heavenly Wine.”
The Wine Crazy Man regarded the Rainbow Transformation Vine very seriously and held it in his hand for dear life, fearing that Zhang Ruochen would take it back.
“Alright, it looks like we can only wait a little longer.” Zhang Ruochen said.
In the Celestial Court Realm, the Qiankun Realm was sealed up, and Zhang Ruochen was simply unable to send the Six Sacred Ascension Wine inside. Thus, at this stage, his need for the Six Sacred Ascension Wine was not very urgent.
Zhang Ruochen added, “Then help me brew a hundred jars of Dragon Spirit Crazy Bull Wine first.”
“Alright.”
The Wine Crazy Man immediately agreed, and then, tentatively asked, “Then, this one Rainbow Transformation Vine?”
“It belongs to you!” Zhang Ruochen said.
The Wine Crazy Man was so happy that he could hardly calm down, and almost danced with his hands as he hurriedly put the Rainbow Transformation Vine inside the spatial ring.
Touching the ring on his finger, the wine madman still had a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was worried about incurring Zhang Ruochen’s displeasure, so he said, “Zhang Ruochen, this Rainbow Transformation Vine of yours can probably be sold for 200,000 to 300,000 Sacred Stones on the market. However, my one hundred altars of Dragon Spirit Crazy Bull Wine is definitely not cheap either, so when you really count it, it’s still you who has earned it.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t care who earned more and who earned less, in his opinion, anything that could be solved with Saint Stones was trivial. Those who only talked about immediate benefits would also never be able to do great things.
However, Xiao Hei snorted coldly, thinking that Zhang Ruochen shouldn’t be so cheap to the Wine Crazy Maniac, at least he should let this old fellow brew 1,000 tiles of 10,000 tiles of Dragon Spirit Crazy Cow Wine before he could do so.
The Wine Crazy Man glanced at Xiao Hei, patted his chest, and said, “It’s not that I’m bragging, in the Kunlun Realm, I’m the only one who can brew Dragon Spirit Crazy Bull Wine. Therefore, I have the qualifications to put a price on it, even if I really sell it for 10,000 holy stones a pot, I guess there are still people who will buy it.” ?
Zhang Ruochen said, “What’s the point of saying that? Our friendship can’t be measured in Saint Stones. You are helping me by brewing the Dragon Spirit Crazy Bull Wine for me. I am also helping you by giving you the Rainbow Transformation Vine.”
Of course, the Wine Crazy Man knew what kind of person Zhang Ruochen was, and to his friends, there was absolutely nothing to say, so he felt a bit ashamed in his heart and said, “Alright, this time, it is indeed the old man who has taken advantage of the situation. Zhang Ruochen, in the future, if you still have any use for old me, just open your mouth, old me will never postpone.”
“This is still like a human sentence.” Little Black laughed.
Zhang Ruochen was still quite assured about the character of the Wine Crazy Man, although he was indeed quite greedy some of the time, he was surely able to stick to the bottom line in the face of what was right and wrong.
Thus, Zhang Ruochen directly took out the Buddha Emperor Relic and handed it over to the Wine Crazy Maniac with confidence, saying, “Within a month, is it possible to brew that high grade Dragon Spirit Crazy Bull Wine?”
Holding the Buddha Emperor’s Sharp, the Wine Crazy Man was instantly filled with a red glow, with an intimidating essence in his eyes, he really wanted to swallow it inside his stomach in a single bite, but he restrained the greed in his heart and nodded his head, saying, “Can.”
Seeing that the Wine Crazy Man had obtained a Rainbow Transformation Vine, Gu Songzi was naturally quite anxious and hurriedly said, “Zhang Ruochen, don’t you want the Heavenly Dipper Violet Flame Talisman? I can refine it, how many do you want?”
“How many can you refine within a month?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Gu Songzi said, “As long as you can prepare all the materials as soon as possible, it shouldn’t be a problem to refine three.”
Gu Songzi’s combat prowess was weak, however, his attainments above Spiritual Power, Dan Dao, Poison Dao, and Talisman Dao were quite remarkable. Zhang Ruochen had once seen Gu Songzi use the Heavenly Dipper Purple Flame Talisman, and the power of the attack that the talisman exploded out could pose a considerable threat to Saint Kings as well.
Zhang Ruochen had also snatched quite a few attack talismans in the Ancestral Spirit Realm.
However, those talismans could at most only be used to deal with ordinary Saints, and against Saint Kings, they could not pose any threat.
Any attack talisman that could be used to deal with Saint Kings could be sold at a rather frightening price if one of them was taken out and sold at random. That price was definitely far more than a hundred altars of Dragon Spirit Mad Cow Wine, and the average Saint could not afford it at all.
“What are some of the materials needed?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Gu Songzi hesitated slightly and said, “To refine the Heavenly Dipper Violet Flame Talisman, a total of four main materials are needed, each of which is worth a fortune. Back then, in the Kunlun Realm, I had spent all of my life savings and only managed to refine five of them.”
With that, Gu Songzi wrote down the names of those four main materials on the paper, “Big Dipper Stone, Thousand-Year Violet Flame Flower, Fire Dragon Blood Ink Incense, and Earth Grade Rune Paper.”
Zhang Ruochen took the piece of paper and pondered for a moment, picking up his pen and making additions and modifications.
In the end, the four materials on top of the paper became: the Extreme Big Dipper Stone, Ten Thousand Years of Violet Flame Flower, Saint King’s Fire Dragon Blood Ink Incense, and Heaven Grade Rune Paper.
Gu Songzi glanced towards the paper and immediately sucked in a breath of cool air.
One had to know that the four materials he had just written out would require him to smash mountains of gold and silver to sell them back. While the four materials that Zhang Ruochen had written out were of a much higher grade, it was feared that they would cost tens of times the price.
At that price, an average Saint King wouldn’t be able to come up with it even if he dumped his family’s money.
Of course, the higher the grade of the materials, the power of the Heavenly Dipper Purple Fire Talisman that was refined would definitely be more powerful.
Zhang Ruochen handed the paper to Xiao Hei and said, “Use all the wealth of the Yuanxu Peak Sacred Land and make sure to buy them all back. If there aren’t enough Sacred Stones, come to me, I still have quite a few Sacred Stones stored here.”
Back then, when Zhang Ruochen was in the Green Dragon Market Realm, he obtained the entire treasury of the Green Dragon Dynasty, which contained a large amount of Sacred Stones. In the Ancestral Spirit Realm, Zhang Ruochen had also snatched a lot of Sacred Stones.
Therefore, at this stage, Zhang Ruochen wasn’t worried about Sacred Stones at all.
Power!
As long as one was able to exchange holy stones for great power, smashing even more holy stones out would be worth it.
The Celestial Court Realm was also a place where financial strength was spelled out.
“What a lack of people!” ?
For such an important matter, it was surprising that only a not-so-reliable Xiao Hei could be dispatched to do it, Zhang Ruochen was deeply touched by the fact that there were too few people available around him.
In the end, Zhang Ruochen called out the Demonic Voice and asked her to go on the errand with Little Black. At the same time, Zhang Ruochen was also considering whether or not to call Han Qiu, Ah Le, and Princess Bai Li to the Yuanxu Peak Sacred Ground, or to pick a few talents with strong cultivation from amongst the Sacred Brightness Central Empire’s old ministry.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and did not do that.
Nowadays, the Yuanxu Peak Sacred Ground was being spied on by a group of unidentified powerful enemies, calling them over, in case one of them was killed, it would undoubtedly be a huge loss for Zhang Ruochen.
“Let’s wait a little longer, it’s not too late to make a decision until I figure out who they really are and how strong they are.” Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
Zhang Ruochen took out a Rainbow Transformation Vine and gave it to Gu Songzi in advance, then he entered the inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone and continued to study the Sword Dao.
In the interior of the Space-Time Crystal Stone, it was a month.
With the assistance of the Rainbow Transformation Vine and the Rule Emperor Artifact, the number of Sword Dao rules in Zhang Ruochen’s body finally reached four, which was considered to be a preliminary entry into the realm of half-step Saint King, and his strength grew tremendously again.
“Cultivating four Sword Dao Rules can only be considered as just crossing the threshold of the half-step Saint King realm, there’s still a long way to go if you want to truly reach the Saint King realm.”
The number of Saint Dao rule seeds that each Saint Dao cultivator incorporated into their Saint Soul was different, the grade of the Saint Dao rules was also different, and the rule seeds were naturally even more different.
Some cultivators only had twenty Saint Dao rules inside their rule seeds.
Whereas a heavenly pride at the level of Sector Sons, the Saint Dao rules inside their rule seeds were usually able to pass a hundred.
Therefore, every being that was able to reach the half-step Saint King realm was a separate individual between heaven and earth, and the next Saint Dao to be cultivated was different, where millions of paths would appear. The future cultivation would require more of one’s own enlightenment to come out with a distinctive path.
Of course, cultivators with exactly the same type and grade of Saint Dao rules within the Rule Seeds definitely existed, but trying to encounter one was definitely not an easy task. And even if the rule seeds were the same, the race, physique, gender, and personality of the cultivator would also affect their respective paths to the Holy Dao to a certain extent.
Since everyone’s Saint Dao was different, how could one be considered to have crossed into the Saint King realm? And how to classify Saint Kings?
There was no cultivator that could give an accurate answer, only a general judgement.
In the Kunlun Realm, only the Emperor’s Divine Ruler, one of the Ten Great Divine Artifacts, could accurately measure the realm of a Saint King.
In the Heavenly Court Realm, a Saint King could only accurately measure his realm by going to the “Nine Steps to Heaven”.
Otherwise, even the Saint Kings themselves could only roughly estimate their cultivation level, which would result in some people overestimating themselves and others underestimating themselves. When encountering a life and death battle, those who overestimated themselves would most likely end up dead.
Zhang Ruochen had a total of three hundred and seventy-two Saint Dao rules within his body, which also included two Everlasting Ancient Ways and several Supreme Saint Ways, such a seed of rules could be said to be incomparably powerful, but of course, it must also be quite difficult to cultivate.
As for how far one had to cultivate to reach the realm of a one-step Saint King, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were also dark.
He only knew that the difference between a Half-Step Saint King and a One-Step Saint King was very huge.
“First, I’ll cultivate the Palm Dao rules to ten, and then, I’ll be able to cultivate the eleventh palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm and explode the power of a mid-stage Saint Art.”
So far, Zhang Ruochen could only execute low rank Saint Arts, which was a huge disadvantage. It was fine if he encountered an ordinary Heaven’s Pride, he could completely deal with it.
However, in the event that he encountered the top 1,000 ranked in the Saints’ Merit List, those Divine Sons, Divine Daughters, Celestial Sons, and Celestial Daughters who possessed the Supreme Perfection Physique, this disadvantage would become quite obvious.
One must know that the Heavenly Court Realm had a total of more than eight thousand subordinate mortal realms, and even if a great world only elected one of the strongest, there would still be more than eight thousand of them. What’s more, the more powerful the world, the more geniuses and strongest people were definitely born.
Like Wu Hao, Fang Yi and the others, they could only be ranked after tens of thousands among the top experts of the Saint realm. To be exact, with their battle prowess, they couldn’t even enter The Saint Merit List.
Therefore, the characters that could rank in the top one thousand of The Saint Merit List were all quite powerful existences, and their talents, physiques, chances, and backgrounds were definitely all very heaven-defying, allowing them to reign as kings amongst the top strong realms.
“Not having comprehended the Rules of Truth and not having cultivated a middle-ranked Sacred Art, these are my two greatest weaknesses compared to other supreme consummate physiques. Fortunately, I can still use the power of time and space to temporarily compensate for these two weaknesses. However, what if I encountered another Constant Ancient Way Controller? For example, an existence like Princess Rakshasa, it seems that I have never truly won against her when I fought her.”
Zhang Ruochen knew in his heart that when he went to the Truth Divine Hall, he would surely encounter the true supreme heavenly pride of the Celestial Court Realm, and even if he didn’t want to cause any trouble, but with the identity of being the number one in the Sacred Merit Ranking, the number of cultivators who would want to challenge him would definitely be innumerable.
If he didn’t want to lose, he could only make up for his weaknesses as soon as possible.
