“Since you said it’s two clear, of course it’s two clear.”
Zhang Ruochen was not polite and collected the two boat tickets.
An unnatural look surfaced on that fair face of Ao Xinyan’s, and it was obvious that she also felt a little embarrassed.
After all, Zhang Ruochen had saved her life.
How could the gift of saving one’s life be offset by two boat tickets?
Immediately after, the Red Desire Star Envoy, the Orange Moon Star Envoy, and the eighteen Liuli Knights all purchased boat tickets as well.
“We will also purchase boat tickets.”
There was another group of people that walked in from outside.
Zhang Ruochen looked over and immediately saw three familiar silhouettes, the forty-first on the Heavenly Ranking, “Pei Ji”, the Hei Sage Clan’s heir, “Hei Yunxi”, and the Zuo Sage Clan’s heir, “Zuo Quling”.
On top of that, behind them, there were also eighteen Heavenly Extremity Realm Grand Circle experts. Just by looking at the eyes of those eighteen martial artists, one could tell that each and every one of them were not simple characters.
With Pei Ji as his leader, he also went to Steward Qi and purchased a boat ticket.
Afterwards, Pei Ji, Xi Yunxi, and Zuo Quling walked to the first floor and sat next to a table to the right of Zhang Ruochen.
Within the next hour, four more waves of people arrived at the Nebula Lobby one after another and purchased boat tickets from Steward Qi’s hands.
Most notably, these four waves of people were all at the Heavenly Extremity Realm Great Circle cultivation level. The leaders of each wave were all established experts at the top of the Heavenly Ranking.
The Red Desire Star Envoy crossed her snow-white jade. Legs, elegantly lifting up the jade carved wine cup, her eyes fixed on Zhang Ruochen who was not far away, and she laughed, “This is getting more and more lively!”
Steward Qi also sensed that something was wrong.
The Wood Essence Market Realm was only a lower class market realm, even if there were some rare spirit medicines growing, but, in terms of risk and value, it was still far inferior to some other treasure realms.
How could it attract so many experts?
Could it be that the Wood Essence Market Realm had given birth to some extraordinary treasure?
Steward Qi shook his head, feeling that this possibility was too small. If the Wood Essence Market Realm had given birth to a supreme treasure, he would definitely be the first person to know about it.
“I hope we don’t make too much of a fuss.”
Since he had already received their money, even if he felt that something was fishy, Steward Qi must have transported the person to the Wood Essence Market Realm.
Instead, Zhang Ruochen appeared unusually calm and did not flinch just because of the appearance of these experts.
Since he had already decided to collect the Essence Qi of the Wood Essence Ruins Realm, even if there were great dangers, he would have to get through it. Because, even if he chose another market realm, these people would definitely follow him there.
At the Ten Thousand Realms Tavern, the various parties were quite disciplined and did not immediately strike against Zhang Ruochen.
It was a night that seemed very peaceful.
The next day.
Steward Qi did indeed find a ship on time, carrying the crowd and flying through the wormhole gate towards the Wood Essence Market Realm.
Flying to the Wood Essence Ruins Realm, the ship stopped at the depths of an endless primitive jungle and hovered thirty metres above the ground.
Steward Qi stood at the edge of the ship and said, “The Wood Essence Market Realm has arrived! You all can disembark now, and a month later, I will come here again. If you guys want to return to the Chaotic Ten Thousand Realms Mountain ……”
Suddenly, Steward Qi’s voice stopped and his gaze was fixed on the sky. Only to see that in the sky, a single black dot appeared.
Steward Qi’s face changed as he said, “No good, it’s the patrolling army responsible for guarding the Wood Essence Market Realm. You guys get off the ship immediately, quick! Quickly! Hurry!”
Zhang Ruochen did not hesitate and immediately jumped down from the ship, his body flashing as he rushed into the mangy, emerald green jungle of ancient trees.
Xiao Hei of course followed closely behind, leaping off the ship.
“Zhang Ruochen, where are you going?”
Ao Xin Yan had been following Zhang Ruochen’s body, so, at the first moment, she chased down the ship and followed closely behind Zhang Ruochen.
Those other martial artists, seeing Zhang Ruochen leaping off the ship, also immediately chased after him.
“Rumble!”
A few moments later, along with a loud sound emanating from spatial fluctuations, the ship, which was suspended thirty metres in mid-air, shot up into the sky and disappeared into the Wood Essence Market Realm.
Zhang Ruochen exerted his speed to the extreme, reaching two times the speed of sound, and after spending ten breaths, he had rushed a hundred miles away.
He paused slightly and looked towards the sky with his eyes, only to see ten black dots flying towards the direction where the ship had just docked.
“Heavenly Eyes.”
In the centre of Zhang Ruochen’s brow, emerged, a speck of light that transformed into a vertical Heavenly Eye.
With the power of the Heavenly Eye, he finally saw that the ten black dots were actually ten savage beasts with huge bodies, the Purple Lin Quod King Beasts.
That was a fourth rank upper class barbarian beast, with a battle strength comparable to a martial artist at the great circle of the Heavenly Extremity Realm.
At the top of the heads of the ten Purple Lin Quod King Beasts, each stood a sergeant in armour.
Of those ten sergeants, nine of them had a martial cultivation that reached the Heavenly Extremity Realm Great Circle. The one in the lead, his cultivation had already surpassed the Heavenly Extremity Realm and reached the Fish Dragon Realm.
Obviously, they were the patrolling army that the Ministry of Military Affairs had arranged in the Wood Essence Market Realm, as Steward Qi had said.
This should only be one of the squads.
Just as Zhang Ruochen was using his Heavenly Eyes and observing them, the one who was the leader inside the ten patrolling armies sensed something and turned his head, glancing in the direction where Zhang Ruochen was, a hundred miles away.
Zhang Ruochen immediately put away his Heavenly Eyes, collected his body’s aura, and once again unfolded his stance and swept out into the distance.
“Captain, what’s wrong?”A sergeant of the Patrol Army asked.
The patrol army captain retracted his gaze, his eyes somewhat cold and heavy as he said, “The people who smuggled over this time are somewhat unsimple. Just now, I clearly felt that a gaze that was observing us. However, when I looked towards him, that gaze disappeared in an instant.”
“Could it be a cultivator of the Fish Dragon Realm?”
The inspecting army captain shook his head and said, “It shouldn’t be. Although the Ten Thousand Realms Tavern has some connections with a bigwig from the Ministry of Military Affairs, and dares to help some people sneak into the Wood Essence Market Realm. However, they don’t dare to go too far yet, they shouldn’t be smuggling cultivators from the Fish Dragon Realm over, it should be The Heavenly Ranking martial artists.”
“What now?”
“Regardless of that, wherever we come across stowaways, arrest them all. If they dare to resist, directly suppress them.”
The ten Purple Lin Quod King Beasts, swooped down and landed on the ground, starting to collect the stowaways.
Half an hour later, Zhang Ruochen had already moved away from the forested area just now and came to the banks of a large river.
The water of the river, was very clear, and one could see a multicoloured stone lying at the bottom of the river.
It had to be said that although the Wood Essence Market Realm was an inferior Market Realm, it was full of spiritual energy, the air was very fresh, and ancient giant trees could be seen everywhere.
On the ground, all sorts of exotic flowers and grasses grew, green, green, purple, red, thousands of strange and beautiful flowers, emitting a faint fragrance of flowers and spiritual medicines.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t have time to pick spiritual medicines and looked behind him, seeing Little Black who was catching up, he said, “How can I find the Origin Qi of the Wood Essence Market Realm?”
The little black man stood up and stretched out a paw, saying, “Give me the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram, only by using the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram can I find the Origin Qi.”
“Wow!”
In the centre of Zhang Ruochen’s brow, there was a flash of light, and the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram flew out, landing in front of Little Black.
Little Black’s two claws slowly unfolded the Qian Kun Divine Wood Diagram.
Two streams of true qi surged from within the claws and injected into the scroll.
Some of the stripes on the top of the scroll emitted a black shimmering light that slowly flowed, and then immediately flew out of the scroll and rushed into the ground.
The black light, like a thin black thread, took the scroll as the centre and spread out in all directions.
A moment later, Xiao Hei put away the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram and said, “The Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram has already located the approximate location of the Origin Qi of the Wood Essence Market Realm, so we can rush over there now. Of course, the Origin Qi has spirituality, so I reckon it has also sensed the aura of danger and will definitely use some means to deal with us.”
The Qi of Origin was the controller of a world, and could be called a world’s “World Spirit”, “Heavenly Dao”, “Qi Fortune”, “KarmaIt can be called the “World Spirit”, “Heavenly Dao”, “Fortune”, “Karma”.
It can decide everything in this world, and in the underworld, influence the trajectory of everything.
In the event that it sensed that someone was unfavourable to it, it would take the first step to use the rules of the world to get rid of the person who wanted to be unfavourable to it.
Some powerful Origin Qi were even able to unleash Thunder Calamity, Fire Calamity, Water Calamity ……, and so on, the power of the heavens and the earth, taking the first step to quell the living beings that were a threat to it.
“Zhang Ruochen, you can’t get rid of me!”A pleasant woman’s voice came from the distance.
In the forest, a silhouette flashed.
Ao Xin Yan flew down from the top of the tree trunk, the long hair on her head, like a waterfall spreading out in mid-air.
When she landed on the ground, she tilted her snow-white chin and stared proudly at Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen and Little Black glanced at each other.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Ao Xinyan, I came to the Wood Essence Market Realm to do some serious business, so I advise you that it’s best if you don’t follow me and be careful of encountering a bad disaster.”
Zhang Ruochen was not being alarmist, but was sincerely advising her.
One must know that Zhang Ruochen had come to the Wood Essence Market Realm to deal with the Origin Qi of this world. In other words, it was to make an enemy of the entire Wood Essence Market Realm.
It was simply unpredictable as to what tactics the Origin Qi of the Wood Essence Market Realm would use to deal with Zhang Ruochen, but one thing was for sure, Zhang Ruochen could be in danger at any time now, encountering heavenly disasters and man-made calamities. Travelling with him was definitely dangerous to the extreme.
Ao Xin Yan snorted coldly and said, “Don’t threaten me, anyway, until I defeat you, you will never be able to get out of my sight.”
Zhang Ruochen advised again, “If you keep following me, how can you have time to cultivate? Without time to cultivate, how can you possibly defeat me? The Wood Essence Market Realm is not a place you should come to, so I advise you to find a place to hide and wait until a month later to leave on the Ten Thousand Realms Tavern’s ship.”
“You despise me?”
Ao Xinyan’s eyes turned icy cold as she said, “With my strength, do I still need to hide in an inferior Market Realm?”
Zhang Ruochen glanced behind Ao Xinyan and his pupils shrank as he warned, “Be careful!”
