“This battle picture is for you, all you need to do is to inject your true qi into the scroll, and you will naturally be able to conjure up the Leopard Headed Blood Bat. Of course, as the blood qi in the scroll drains away, the power of the battle picture will become weaker and weaker, and in the end, it will become an ordinary painting”
Luo Shuihan rolled up the spirit paper on the table and handed it to Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen stretched out his hands and took the scroll, “Many thanks, Senior Sister.”
Luo Shuihan nodded and stood up, walking towards a wide room inside.
Zhang Ruochen held the battle chart and followed suit.
Luo Shuihan sat on top of a chair carved out of cold ice, and in front of her stood a cold ice table with a small cold ice jade cup on it.
Then, she took out another cold ice jade cup and placed it on the opposite side.
“Sit down! You’re the first man to come from the Heavenly Character, how about accompanying me for a drink?” Luo Shuihan said.
“Respectfully.”
Zhang Ruochen walked over and sat down on all fours across from Luo Shuihan.
Other young martial artists would look tied up when they saw her, not daring to look directly at her, but Zhang Ruochen appeared to be very calm and spontaneous, without the slightest bit of restraint.
Luo Shuihan nodded, and with a wave of her sleeve, a jade pot that was originally placed on a shelf two feet away fell into her hands under the control of her true qi.
“Wow!”
Her movements were very elegant as she slightly raised her jade arm, and with a tilt of the jade pot, she poured out a cup of Semi-Saint True Liquid from inside the jade pot, ten drops of it, and handed it to Zhang Ruochen.
Subsequently, she also poured a cup full of Semi-Sacred True Liquid inside the cold jade cup in front of her, almost ten drops as well.
She placed the jade pot on the table, and with her two slender jade fingers, she lifted the cold ice jade cup up and drank the ten drops of Half Saint True Liquid in one go.
Zhang Ruochen looked at the Semi-Saint True Liquid in the cup, it was ten drops, and if he went to buy it in the black market, he would need to spend four million silver coins.
It was quite hard for other martial artists to get a single drop, but Luo Shuihan had filled a pot and even directly invited him to have a drink.
With Zhang Ruochen’s current refining speed, it would take at least two days and two nights to refine a single drop of Half-Saint True Liquid, and if he were to drink these ten drops of Half-Saint True Liquid, he would need to refine it for twenty days.
Ten days later would be the Intermediate Ruins Exploration Examination, so how could Zhang Ruochen have that much time to refine the Half-Saint True Liquid?
What’s more, the Saint Force of the Half-Saint True Liquid was so fierce that if any other Xuanji Realm Intermediate Extreme Position martial artist dared to drink ten drops of the Half-Saint True Liquid at the same time, it would simply be like taking a potent poison. The martial artist’s body would instantly be burst by the holy power of the Half Saint True Liquid.
Luo Shuihan was actually testing him by pouring him a cup full of Half Saint True Liquid.
If he couldn’t withstand the medicinal power of ten drops of Half Saint True Liquid, or if he couldn’t completely refine the Half Saint True Liquid within ten days, then he wouldn’t be qualified to drink this cup of Half Saint True Liquid.
In the future, it would also be impossible for her to ask Zhang Ruochen to drink the Half-Saint True Liquid again.
Luo Shuihan drank the cup of Half-Saint True Liquid and slightly glanced towards Zhang Ruochen, placing the cup back on the table, saying, “Senior Brother, don’t dare to drink?”
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, lifted the cup up, and smiled, “A cup of Half-Saint True Liquid, Senior Sister is really bold and generous, since that’s the case, Senior Brother won’t be polite!”
Tilting his head, he poured the cup.
Zhang Ruochen drank an entire cup of Half-Saint True Liquid and immediately put the cup down, sat down on the ground and began to refine the medicinal power of the Half-Saint True Liquid.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen drink the entire cup of Half-Saint True Liquid, Luo Shuihan’s eyes lit up slightly, revealing a few hints of admiration.
She knew that with Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation at the Middle Extreme Position of the Xuanji Realm, he would not be able to refine a cup of Semi-Sacred True Liquid no matter what, and would most likely have his meridians propped up by the Semi-Sacred True Liquid, bursting his body and dying.
Since Zhang Ruochen had the guts to drink a cup of Half-Saint True Liquid, Luo Shuihan naturally wouldn’t let him really be propped up to death, she had some special methods to help him suppress the medicinal power of the Half-Saint True Liquid.
Of course, she had to wait until Zhang Ruochen was really close to not being able to hold on before Luo Shuihan would step in.
However, Luo Shuihan had waited for a whole hour, but Zhang Ruochen did not show any broken meridians, instead, the aura on Zhang Ruochen’s body was getting stronger and stronger, and his body, which was sitting on the ground, was actually being held up by a ball of crimson blood Qi.
“Boom!”
The blood Qi beneath Zhang Ruochen’s body gradually coalesced into a circular blood formation with a diameter of nine metres, covering almost the entire room and shaking the walls of the room.
If it wasn’t for the fact that this room was arranged with formation inscriptions, the entire room would have collapsed with a single impact from the blood formation just now.
A faint smile appeared in Luo Shuihan’s pair of beautiful eyes as she said, ”Blood Qi Condensing Formation! He actually took this opportunity to break through to the Xuan Extreme Realm Grand Extreme Position!”
Since Zhang Ruochen had broken through his original realm with the power of the Semi-Sacred True Liquid, with his physique, he should be able to refine the ten drops of Semi-Sacred True Liquid at the same time, and no longer need her help.
“The diameter of the blood formation he has condensed is surprisingly nine metres, which means that he is condensing a Saint level blood formation,” Luo Shuihan stared at the blood formation underneath Zhang Ruochen, her heart very surprised.
When a martial artist reached the Xuan Extremity Realm’s Great Extremity Position, he or she would be able to condense a formation with blood qi.
A blood formation with a diameter of three metres was known as a ‘low level blood formation’.
A blood formation with a diameter of five metres was called an “intermediate blood formation”.
A seven-metre diameter blood formation is called a “high-level blood formation”.
A blood formation with a diameter of nine metres is called a “holy level blood formation”.
Generally speaking, the vast majority of martial artists who had reached the Xuanji Realm’s Great Extreme Position could only condense a low-level blood formation.
Only within ten martial artists could there be a genius who had condensed an intermediate level blood formation.
Once an intermediate level blood formation was condensed, then after breaking through the Xuan Extremity Realm Great Extremity, there was a great chance of becoming a Xuan Ranking martial artist.
As for high-level blood formations, the number was even rarer. As long as there was a martial artist who was able to condense a high-level blood formation, he or she would almost always be able to enter the top ten of the Xuan Ranking.
Saint-level blood formations were the most powerful blood formations, and if a martial artist was able to condense a Saint-level blood formation, then it meant that he had the potential to become a Saint.
What Zhang Ruochen had condensed was a Saint Grade Blood Formation with a diameter of nine metres, and just by inspiring the blood formation, he didn’t even need to put up a fight, and in the same realm, he would be able to easily crush those martial practitioners who had low-grade blood formations and intermediate-grade blood formations.
Zhang Ruochen had thought very clearly when he drank that cup of Semi-Saint True Liquid, only by breaking through to the Xuan Extremity Realm’s Great Extremity Position would he have the chance to refine the ten drops of Semi-Saint True Liquid within ten days.
Breaking through to the Xuan Extremity Realm Great Extremity Position, Zhang Ruochen’s speed of refining the Half-Saint True Liquid had obviously increased by a lot, and all thirty-six meridians were greedily absorbing the Saint Force of the Half-Saint True Liquid.
Zhang Ruochen, who was sitting in the blood formation, slowly rotated.
With each rotation, the True Qi ran through the meridians for a large circumference.
About ten days passed, and on the day before the Intermediate Ruins Exploration Examination, Zhang Ruochen finally completely refined the ten drops of Half-Saint True Liquid and woke up from his cultivation.
The nine-metre diameter blood formation transformed into strands of blood qi and flew back into his body.
Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes and stared at Luo Shuihan, who was sitting cross-legged, and asked, “Senior sister, how long have I been cultivating?”
“Ten days and nine nights.” Luo Shuihan said.
Zhang Ruochen felt very hungry, if he didn’t refine the ten drops of Half-Saint True Liquid, he was afraid that he would starve to death in cultivation.
After taking out a Second Grade Blood Pill and taking it, the hunger in his abdomen gradually disappeared and was replaced by a swelling feeling of power.
Every inch of muscle in his body felt like it was full of explosive power, and the blood qi in his blood veins was so thick that it was like a river flowing through his body.
If one were to compare the human body to heaven and earth, then the bones would be the stone, the skin and flesh would be the soil, the blood would be the river, the true qi would be the air, and the qi lake in the centre of the brow would be the sky.
Zhang Ruochen was able to clearly feel his current strength, which was far too powerful, and his fastest burst of speed should already be able to reach sixty-eight metres per second, which wouldn’t be far off even if he was compared to the top one hundred powerhouses ranked in the Xuan Ranking.
“Once again, many thanks to Senior Sister for the cup of Half-Saint True Liquid.” Zhang Ruochen stood up, arched his hand at Luo Shuihan, and added, “Tomorrow is the Intermediate Ruins Exploration Examination, I have to go back and prepare some things now, Senior Sister, we’ll see you tomorrow.”
Zhang Ruochen put the battle map away, and just as he turned around to leave, he immediately returned with a somewhat awkward smile, “I only cared about receiving Senior Sister’s gift, but I forgot that I also have a gift for Senior Sister.”
Zhang Ruochen took out a white spatial jade bracelet and handed it to Luo Shuihan.
Seeing the jade bracelet that Zhang Ruochen took out, Luo Shuihan was slightly stunned, revealing a trace of incomprehension, “What does Senior Brother mean?”
“This is a True Martial Treasure Weapon, Senior Sister will inject her True Qi into the jade bracelet and activate the inscription, then she will naturally understand!” Zhang Ruochen laughed.
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen took the battle map with him and left Tian Zi No. 1.
It was only after Zhang Ruochen left that Luo Shuihan picked up the jade bracelet and injected her True Qi into it, and the eight spatial inscriptions in the jade bracelet immediately lit up, forming an independent inner space.
After discovering the wonders of the jade bracelet, Luo Shuihan’s lips gently ticked, revealing a shallow smile. She then took the spatial jade bracelet and wore it on top of her wrist.
Zhang Ruochen had just stepped out of Tian Zi No. 1 when he was blocked by Huang Yichen and Duanmu Xingling.
Huang Yichen’s face was a little unsavoury as she stood two metres in front of Zhang Ruochen, smiling coldly and sorrowfully, truly like a female devil, saying, “You went to look for Senior Sister Luo?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “That’s my business, I’m afraid, Senior Sister Huang, it’s out of your hands, isn’t it?”
“I don’t care who you go to see!”
Huang Yichen lifted her chin, revealing her slender, snow-white neck in a high and cold manner, and added: “Zhang Ruochen, I want to purchase a spatial treasure, so name a price!”
Zhang Ruochen thought about it and took out a space ring, handing it to Huang Yichen, saying, “No need, it’s for you.”
After handing the spatial ring to Huang Yichen, Zhang Ruochen left the Dragon Martial Hall and went to the Merit Tower, ready to use the Merit Value and exchange it for something to prepare for entering the Intermediate Level Ruins.
Huang Yichen’s snowy onion-like five fingers pinched the delicate spatial ring and froze slightly, staring at the direction Zhang Ruochen had left, still feeling a little lost in thought.
“He actually …… gave me a ring. What is the meaning of this?” Huang Yichen was a little lost in thought.
Although it was a spatial ring, which was a storage treasure, Huang Yichen always felt that Zhang Ruochen seemed to have other meanings.
Duanmu Xingling stared at the spatial ring in Huang Yichen’s hand, her fragrant tongue gently licking her lips as she said, “Sister Dust, when you guys got engaged, he didn’t give you a ring?”
Huang Yichen shook her head.
Duanmu Xingling said, “Perhaps this is a complementary gift from him to you!”
“Maybe!”
Huang Yichen pinched the spatial ring tightly, and suddenly, raised her head and looked towards the gate of Tian Zi No. 1, a pair of willow-like eyebrows gently frowning as she said, “Xingling, what do you think Zhang Ruochen is going to find Senior Sister Luo for?”
Duanmu Xingling laughed and said, “You’re jealous? Sister Dust, don’t you really like him!”
“How could that be?” Huang Yichen’s eyes went cold as she glared fiercely at Duanmu Xingling.
Undeniably, when Huang Yichen saw Zhang Ruochen walk out from Tian Zi No. 1 just now, a very unhappy emotion did arise in her heart, and she even had a very strong sense of crisis.
How could there be such a feeling?
