Zhang Ruochen reclaimed the healing elixir and sat cross-legged opposite her, staring at the haughty, yet true-hearted Smoky Dust County Mistress in front of him.
After contemplating for a moment, Zhang Ruochen said, “I did have some strange encounters and obtained some treasures and gongfu tome. I don’t have any other identity, nor did I intentionally approach you, I am the Ninth Prince of the Yunwu County Kingdom, and even if you go and check, you will only be able to find out this identity.”
The identity of the Ming Emperor’s son, in Zhang Ruochen’s opinion, already belonged to the previous life.
Huang Yichen looked at Zhang Ruochen’s calm and collected appearance from the beginning to the end, his emotions gradually calmed down, rolled his eyelids, and said, “Just how many other secrets are you hiding?”
Zhang Ruochen laughed, “Everyone has secrets that they are unwilling to tell, including you, don’t you also have secrets that you have never told me? Since I didn’t ask you, why do you need to ask me?”
Huang Yichen hooked his lips, still unwilling, and said, “Have you cultivated a martial art that can control space?”
“No comment.” Zhang Ruochen said.
Zhang Ruochen had no choice but to use the power of the Spatial Domain, otherwise, with his current cultivation, it would be impossible for him to escape from Hua Qingshan’s hands.
Of course, at that time, Zhang Ruochen was wearing a mask, so Hua Qingshan didn’t know who he really was?
Now, the only person who knew that he was able to control space was Huang Yichen.
Huang Yichen glared coldly at Zhang Ruochen and kept grinding his teeth as he said, ”What’s the point of being so petty? It’s not like I’m going to let you teach me?”
“Even if I teach you, you won’t be able to learn!”
Zhang Ruochen no longer paid attention to Huang Yichen and began to fiddle with the neatly arranged Dan bottles on the ground, there were a total of twelve Dan bottles, all of which were the pills that Xiao Hei had refined and left in the inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone.
Zhang Ruochen opened the lid of one of the dan bottles, and an icy cold Qi escaped from within, and in just a split second, with the dan bottle as the centre, a thin layer of cold ice formed on the surrounding ground.
“Ice Vein Dan!”
Zhang Ruochen put the lid back on and reopened the other dan bottles, inspecting them one by one.
Of the twelve dan bottles, six of them contained Ice Vein Pills, two contained Wind Vein Pills, three contained Fire Vein Pills, and one contained Electricity Vein Pills.
There were eight pills inside each bottle.
Zhang Ruochen cupped the one dan bottle containing the Electricity Vein Dan in his hand, and even without opening the lid, he could hear the sound of thunder and lightning faintly coming from the bottle.
“I didn’t expect Little Black to actually refine the Electric Vein Pill, I really underestimated it before.” Zhang Ruochen laughed.
But the materials for the alchemy, where did it come from?
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen thought of Duanmu Starling.
Since Duanmu Xingling knew that Xiao Hei was able to refine the Ice Vein Pill, it must have strongly supported it, and it was only natural to buy the materials for refining the pill to it.
“Are you saying that these pills, were all refined by that one cat?” Huang Yichen was a little surprised, obviously a little unconvinced.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t hide it from her and said, “That’s right.”
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen took out that one Healing Pill again and handed it to Huang Yichen. This time, Huang Yichen no longer held herself together and took the elixir, realising that it was only a third grade healing elixir, she could not help but frown slightly.
If her storage bracelet was still there, there were several fourth-grade healing pills inside, how could she look at a third-grade healing pill?
After she was captured, the storage bracelet was naturally taken away, even if she couldn’t see the third grade healing pills, she could only barely take them now.
Thinking of that one storage bracelet, Huang Yichen was very distressed, the cultivation resources inside were worth millions of silver coins. Moreover, the storage bracelet itself was a valuable treasure.
With her current injuries, taking a fourth grade healing elixir would only take half a day, and would allow her injuries to heal.
But taking a third grade healing elixir, it would take at least three days before her injuries could be restored.
After taking the healing elixir, Huang Yichen began to operate his true qi, refining the elixir and healing his injuries.
Zhang Ruochen had also suffered a slight injury, which wasn’t considered serious, so he didn’t need to take the healing elixir at all, and with the true qi in his body, he was able to nurse his injuries back to health.
The Poisonous Spider Chamber of Commerce was definitely looking around for the two of them, and it was safest to hide in the inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone. If they went out, if they were not careful, they might be discovered by the people from the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce. Earthfire City was, after all, the territory of the Black Market.
“After such a big incident, the experts from the Martial City Academy and the Thousand Water County Kingdom should be rushing to Earthfire City very soon. Even the Yunwu County Kingdom will send strong people to deal with the Poison Spider Chamber. After all, Senior Sister Huang is now my fiancée, and it’s even more of a matter of goodwill between the Cloud Martial County Kingdom and the Thousand Waters County Kingdom. If something happens to Senior Sister Huang in the Yunwu County Kingdom, how could the Thousand Waters County King not hold the Yunwu County King responsible?”
“If Senior Sister Huang was still imprisoned in the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, perhaps the various forces wouldn’t dare to act rashly. But now that Senior Sister Huang has been rescued by me, the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce has lost its leverage, so how can it still hold back the siege of experts from all sides?”
So, right now, Zhang Ruochen didn’t need to do anything at all, he only needed to wait slowly, and someone would naturally come to clean up the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce.
“It’s just the right time to take advantage of this period of time to raise my cultivation.”
Zhang Ruochen was very clear that his biggest weakness right now was his Martial Dao Cultivation.
The early stage of the Earth Extreme Realm’s martial cultivation was indeed already quite impressive when compared to other young martial artists, but there was still a considerable gap when compared to the Ten Heavenly Demon Xiu and the Seven Young Lords of the Black Market.
Holding the Dan bottle of the Electric Pulse Pill in one hand and the Dan bottle of the Fire Pulse Pill in the other, Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment before placing the Dan bottle of the Electric Pulse Pill on the ground and opening the Dan bottle of the Fire Pulse Pill.
As soon as the lid of the bottle was opened, a wisp of crimson flame escaped from the bottle.
“Giggle!”
Pouring out a Fire Vein Pill and placing it in the palm of his hand, a scalding heat emanated from the pill, and the surface of the pill was still burning with flames.
Just this Fire Vein Pill alone would require two hundred merit points in the Inner Palace Academy to exchange for one.
If it was taken outside and sold, the value would have to be doubled, and at least four hundred thousand silver coins would have to be bought. Even ordinary princes and county lords would not be able to buy it in large quantities.
The reason why Zhang Ruochen chose the Fire Vein Pill instead of the Electric Vein Pill was because he was currently cultivating the third level of the Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture, the “Tai Qing Spiritual Fire Sky”.
The Fire Vein Pill could help him, raise his cultivation level faster.
Taking the Fire Vein Pill was like a flame entering his body, and Zhang Ruochen’s skin turned completely crimson, as if it was a red-hot iron.
……
Earth Fire City, Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce.
After Hua Ming Gong learnt the news that Huang Yichen had been rescued, he was so enraged that he could not wait to slap Hua Qingshan to death.
“Boom!”
Hua Ming Gong punched out, shattering a ten-metre-high wigwam into pieces of rubble through the air. His hair was almost all upside down as he said in a furious voice, “If you weren’t my only son, I would have wasted you right now. I have long since reminded you not to touch the Smoky Dust County Lord, but you still didn’t take my words into consideration. This time, you’ve caused a big trouble, even if it’s me, I may not be able to protect you.”
The Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce’s forces were spread across the thirty-six counties of the Heavenly Demon Ridge. Within the Poisonous Spider Chamber of Commerce, there were a total of thirty-six chief directors, and Lord Hua Ming was merely the chief director of the Poisonous Spider Chamber of Commerce in the Yunwu County Kingdom.
Originally, by capturing the Smoke Dust County Lord, Hua Ming Gong would be able to make a great achievement for the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce. Taking this opportunity, the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce could even negotiate with the Thousand Waters County King and open up the black market of the Thousand Waters County.
Unfortunately, it was a pity that he had now lost all the credit, but instead, the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce had been put into an absolutely passive situation.
The news that County Lord Smokey had been rescued had already been spread out, and it could be expected that the Martial Market Palace, Thousand Waters County Kingdom, and Yunwu County Kingdom would surely retaliate against the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce with a thunderbolt.
Hua Qingshan appeared relaxed, not fearing his father at all, as he knew that his father would definitely just not hurt him.
Hua Qingshan said, “I also didn’t expect that a mysterious teenage expert capable of controlling the power of space would appear out of nowhere.”
Hua Ming Gong gradually calmed down and said, “Are you sure that he is able to control spatial power?”
“Of course I’m sure.” Hua Qingshan said.
Hua Ming Gong frowned, still somewhat unconvinced that there was really someone in the world who was able to control spatial power, saying, “Spatial power, has always been just a legend. Even in history, there were only two or three strange people who could transform the power of space to their own use. Those two or three wondrous men were all figures who had transcended the heavens and the earth, and even great saints had to look up to them.”
Hua Qingshan smiled faintly and took out a jade bracelet, handing it to Hua Ming Gong, saying, “Father, if you don’t believe me, you can take a look at this one.”
Hua Ming Gong’s expression moved as he received the jade bracelet into his hands, injecting his true qi into the bracelet, immediately discovering the inner space within the bracelet.
“This is a …… spatial treasure ……” Although Hua Ming Gong was a Heavenly Extremity Realm powerhouse, he was also shocked at this moment.
Hua Qingshan said, “This jade bracelet was searched from County Lord Smokey. Now, father should believe that that one teenager is able to control the power of space, right?”
Duke Hua Ming’s eyes lit up as he said, “If we report this matter to the Guild Master, we can definitely make up for it. The value of a strange person capable of controlling the power of space is greater than the value of County Lord Smokey.”
Hua Qingshan revealed a sneer and said in a low voice, “Father, why must this kind of matter be reported to the Guild Master?”
“What do you mean?” Hua Ming Gong Dao.
Hua Qingshan stood up and said, “That one teenager who is able to control spatial power doesn’t have a high cultivation level, at most, he is at the cultivation level of the Earth Extreme Realm’s Small Extreme Position. If we are able to capture him and force out the secrets of spatial power. At that time, we will also be able to control the power of space. Why do we need to be loyal to that one Guild Master in the future, why can’t we be Guild Masters ourselves?”
Hua Ming Gong was also a bit moved, saying, “But we don’t know the true identity of that one mysterious teenager, it’s not an easy task to find him out.”
“It’s not hard to find out!”
Hua Qingshan smiled, staring at the spatial jade bracelet, saying, “Since that one mysterious teenager gave such a precious spatial jade bracelet to Smoky Dusty County Master, he must have an extraordinary relationship with Smoky Dusty County Master, and it’s not necessarily true that he’s also a trainee of the Martial City Academy Palace.”
“Among the trainees of the Martial City Academic Palace’s Inner Palace Academy, there weren’t many people who could fight with me in the first place, which can exclude the vast majority of them.”
“There aren’t many trainees who are on good terms with the Smoky Dust County Lord either, which can exclude some more. Plus, his age is no more than twenty, and there are too few Earth Extreme Realm martial artists under the age of twenty. As long as we have these three conditions, it’s as easy as pie to find him out.”
