Sitting in the tent under the altar, the empress queen was wearing a golden phoenix crown and a colorful phoenix robe. She looked twenty-eight or nine, beautiful and dignified. She was not as old as Zhang Ruochen imagined, but she gave people a sense of humor. A noble temperament.
She said: "Your Majesty is practicing in closed-door training in the Hall of Life and Death. This time, the 'Sacrifice Ceremony' will be presided over by the Empress. National Teacher, have you detected the grade of the Divine Martial Mark opened by His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince?"
The national teacher of Yunwu Commandery held a roll of iron book in his hand, shook it, and said: "The "Complete Book of Divine Martial Seals" records all the patterns of martial arts seals that have appeared in the history of Kunlun Realm, from first-rank martial arts seals to ninth-rank seals. Martial arts seals are all recorded in the book, but none of the seals match His Royal Highness Ninth Prince's martial seal."
The empress glanced at Zhang Ruochen, with a bit of indifference, "Since there is no test result, it is estimated that there is no grade of divine martial arts mark. In other counties, there have also been some warriors who have opened unknown divine martial arts marks, and their final achievements are very good. limited."
The Eighth Prince also stood in the tent, and immediately said, "The queen is right. After all, the ninth brother is sixteen years old and has missed the best age for cultivation. Mark, there will be no achievements."
The empress nodded, agreeing with the eighth prince's words, and said: "Since the ninth prince only opened the imprint of martial arts without grade, and he is already sixteen years old, in order to save the royal family's cultivation resources as much as possible, I only give the ninth prince a share of marrow washing. liquid!"
Concubine Lin's complexion changed, and she said: "My queen, the first year of opening the mark of Shenwu is the most important year. After the seventh prince opened the mark of Shenwu, he got a total of 12 pieces of marrow washing liquid, which can be used every month. Wash the marrow once. Chen'er, why can I only get one marrow washing liquid?"
The empress said in a cold voice: "The seventh prince opened the mark of the seventh-rank martial arts when he was three years old. How can the ninth prince be compared with the seventh prince?"
The eighth prince said flatteringly: "Seventh brother, but the empress's son-in-law, inherited the powerful blood of the queen's empress, and has the mark of the seventh-rank martial arts. Who in the entire Yunwu County can compare with Seventh Brother? Will Yunwu County be more prosperous and more prosperous in the future? Powerful, all tied to Seventh Brother alone."
He continued: "My prince said something that I don't like to hear. Seventh brother's finger is ten or a hundred times more important than ninth brother's life. There is no comparison at all."
Concubine Lin clenched her lips and teeth, and continued to fight for Zhang Ruochen, saying, "But when the eighth prince opened the mark of Shenwu, he also got four parts of marrow washing liquid."
The empress queen said very displeased: "The higher the talent, the more resources you get. The Ninth Prince has the lowest talent, so naturally the less resources you get."
"But..." Concubine Lin said.
The empress became even more impatient, and said in a deep voice: "The empress has already made a decision, Concubine Lin, if you dare to say one more word, believe it or not, I will let you be dragged out again?"
"Again..." Zhang Ruochen suddenly raised his head when he heard what the queen said.
Could it be that the empress queen once scolded her mother?
Concubine Lin trembled slightly after hearing what the empress queen said, as if recalling something terrible, she immediately closed her mouth.
At this moment, someone has already delivered a portion of marrow washing solution and handed it to Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen took the marrow washing liquid, walked to Concubine Lin's side, turned around and took a deep look at the Queen who was sitting above, and said, "Mother, let's go back!"
"En!" Concubine Lin pursed her lips lightly, and nodded bitterly.
The queen stared at the backs of Zhang Ruochen and Concubine Lin as they left, and said, "Three months later, it will be the end-of-year assessment of the royal family. The nine princes must work hard and strive to complete the 'Marrow Cleansing Pulse' within three months." , to become a true warrior. At that time, the king will also go out, I hope you can surprise him."
Immediately, Hachiji's disdainful voice sounded again, and he said with a smile: "Even if there are three doses of marrow washing liquid, it is impossible to complete the marrow washing pulse within three months. It took me half a year to do it. With the qualifications of the ninth brother, It is estimated that it will take more than a year to have a chance. Meh!"
Zhang Ruochen didn't look back, he clenched his fists tightly, and his mind was very firm, "Just wait and see, I will never let you down!"
Back at the Ziyi side hall, Zhang Ruochen couldn't wait to close the door, and started to practice immediately.
Although I don't know what Divine Martial Mark is opened, but since I have the Divine Martial Mark, I can definitely cultivate true energy.
First of all, the first step is to open up a "qi pool" under the mark of Shenwu.
The so-called "qi pool" is a pool that contains true energy.
The bigger the pool, the more true energy it can hold. With the improvement of cultivation, the "qi pool" will gradually expand.
Generally speaking, to open up a "qi pool", it must be done under the guidance of the elders.
For Zhang Ruochen, who has rich experience in cultivation, it is not difficult to open up the "Qi pool". He only spent half an hour and he successfully opened up the "Qi pool".
For other monks, it would take at least a few days of trying to open up the "qi pool".
Zhang Ruochen only took half an hour.
"This body is indeed very weak, and it has only opened up a Qi pool the size of an egg, which can hold too little true Qi!"
Opening up a "qi pool" is not enough.
The Qi pool is just a place to store true Qi.
In order for true qi to circulate throughout the body, one must open up one's own cultivation meridians.
Only by completing this step can one possess true energy and become a true warrior.
The next step is the second step, washing the marrow and pulse.
Zhang Ruochen took out the small jade bottle containing the marrow washing liquid, sniffed it gently with his nose, and after confirming that it was real marrow washing liquid, poured the whole bottle of marrow washing liquid into his mouth.
After the marrow washing liquid entered the throat, it was very cold, but after only a moment, the coldness disappeared and was replaced by a scalding heat.
It's like there is a flame burning in the body!
A trace of flame penetrated into every meridian in Zhang Ruochen's body, and then merged into the meridian.
This is the time!
""Nine Heavens Mingdi Sutra", the first floor, Taihuang Huangjingtian."
Practicing different exercises will naturally lead to different meridian routes.
The more advanced the exercises, the more the meridian lines, the more complicated, and the more surprising.
There are a total of thirty-six meridians in the "Jiutian Mingdi Jing".
Of course, Zhang Ruochen doesn't need to open up all the meridians now, he only needs to open up the first meridian to complete the marrow washing pulse.
"They said that I couldn't complete the marrow washing pulse in three months, but I will prove with practical actions that I can complete the marrow washing pulse tonight and become a real warrior!"
With the help of his cultivation experience in the previous life, Zhang Ruochen used his only ray of true energy to charge the pulse with all his strength, and soon opened up most of the first meridian.
A sharp pain came from the body, as if the meridians were about to be torn off, making Zhang Ruochen tremble all over.
If someone else encountered such a situation, they must have failed to pulse.
However, Zhang Ruochen gritted his teeth and persisted with strong willpower, even though beads of sweat kept falling to the ground, he never gave up.
"It's just... the last short paragraph..."
Hope is right in front of you, and you must make a successful pulse!
Must succeed!
In one go, Zhang Ruochen will attack all the few infuriating energy.
"boom!"
A loud noise came from the body, making a deafening sound, which almost knocked Zhang Ruochen into a faint.
After the pain disappeared, I only felt a cold air flowing through the meridians, the pain gradually disappeared, and an unprecedented comfort spread throughout the body.
"Haha! It's a success! Successfully complete the marrow washing pulse and become a real warrior!"
Hachioji completed this step and took four doses of marrow washing solution, which took half a year.
Zhang Ruochen only used it for one night, and only took one portion of marrow washing solution.
Completing the marrow washing pulse is the cultivation base of the "Early Stage of Huangji Realm".
Martial arts practice is divided into four realms of "Yellow, Xuan, Earth, and Heaven", namely: Huangji Realm, Xuanji Realm, Earth Extreme Realm, and Heavenly Extreme Realm.
Each big realm is divided into seven small realms, divided into: early stage, middle stage, late stage, small extreme, middle extreme, great extreme, and great perfection.
Four big and seven small.
Zhang Ruochen is now at the early stage of the Huangji Realm.
In the "early stage", "middle stage" and "late stage" of the Huangji Realm, the meridians are opened up, and the true energy tank is used to make the strength of the physical body stronger and stronger. Every time a small realm is raised, the strength will increase by a large amount.
The Eighth Prince is the cultivation base of the late Huangji Realm, who can lift a stone plate weighing three hundred catties with his bare hands and throw the stone plate ten feet away. The strength of his punch is comparable to that of a bull.
Most of the warriors in the late stage of Huangji Realm can cultivate "the strength of a cow".
Above the "later stage", there are four states of "small extreme", "middle extreme", "large extreme", and "great perfection".
Breaking through the late stage of Huangji Realm, you can reach the small extreme of Huangji Realm, and you can immediately have the "power of four bulls", and your strength has quadrupled.
Therefore, warriors at the lower extremes of the Yellow Realm, against warriors at the later stage of the Yellow Realm, are like adults confronting children, and there is no problem at all if one hits ten of them.
The "Middle Pole", "Great Pole", and "Great Perfection" that go further up are even more terrifying, possessing unimaginable power for ordinary people.
Those realms are still far away from Zhang Ruochen, and there is no need to think about it now. Steady and steady practice is the key. Only by taking one step at a time can we go further.
The eighth prince has cultivated for eight years, and he has only reached the late stage of Huangji Realm, so he can only be regarded as an ordinary talent.
"It took Hachioji half a year to complete the marrow washing and pulse. I only spent one night."
"It took the Eighth Prince eight years to cultivate to the late stage of Huangji Realm. I must complete this goal within three months. For me, it's not like I don't have the opportunity to do it."
Three months later, it will be the year-end assessment of the royal family. All the young warriors of the royal family, including princes, princesses, and relatives of the emperor, will all participate in the assessment to test their cultivation achievements over the past year.
In the royal family, if you want to gain status, be respected, and get more training resources, you must prove your strength.
three months!
Within three months, he had to cultivate to the late stage of Huangji Realm, even if not for himself, but also for the mother who cared and loved her, and won her the dignity that belonged to her.
