Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment, and then asked, "Lin Chenyu was executed?"
"No! How could His Highness the Seventh Prince let him go so easily?" Yun'er said, "Lin Chenyu was sentenced to castration and turned into a eunuch, and was accepted as a servant by His Highness the Seventh Prince."
Zhang Ruochen said: "The first genius of the Lin family turned into a eunuch and a servant of the enemy. It is a great shame for the Lin family."
Yun'er frowned, and said: "But I really don't understand, since the Lin family has suffered such a great humiliation, why does the head of the Lin family want to marry his daughter to the seventh prince?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "It's easy to understand! With the talent of the Seventh Prince, he will definitely inherit the throne and become the lord of Yunwu County in the future. If the Lin family wants to gain a foothold in Yunwu County, they must repair their relationship with the Seventh Prince. Marriage is the most important thing. Good idea."
"Secondly, since the first genius of the Lin family became the servant of the Seventh Prince, the relationship between the Lin family and the Seventh Prince is probably not as hostile as we imagined. Maybe the marriage between Lin Ningshan and the Seventh Prince is the first genius of the Lin family, Lin Lin. Chen Yu single-handedly facilitated it."
Yun'er stared straight at Zhang Ruochen, and couldn't believe that His Highness the Ninth Prince was able to analyze it so logically. It was not like the timid boy he used to be, but instead gave off a sense of sophistication and wisdom.
"It seems that His Royal Highness Ninth Prince has really changed completely after opening the Seal of Divine Martial Arts." Yun'er thought to himself, if Concubine Lin knew that His Royal Highness Ninth Prince had undergone such a big change, she would be very pleased.
Back in his room, Zhang Ruochen immediately entered the inner space of the spar.
"Start opening up the second meridian now!"
Zhang Ruochen uncorked the small jade bottle and took a portion of marrow washing solution.
Under the action of the medicinal power of the marrow washing liquid, the blood in the whole body seemed to be boiling. With the help of the huge medicinal power, Zhang Ruochen immediately began to open up the second meridian according to the records in the "Jiutian Mingdi Jing".
The more meridians opened up in the body, the faster the spiritual energy can be absorbed, and the faster the true energy in the body will run.
The more meridians in the body, the more powerful the martial body cultivated will naturally be. In the same realm, it can explode with more powerful combat power.
With the help of previous cultivation experience, Zhang Ruochen quickly opened up a second meridian, and the speed of true energy in his body doubled.
"The qi pool has not expanded, and it has not broken through the middle stage of Huangji Realm. It seems that another meridian needs to be opened up."
Zhang Ruochen took a blood pill to recover his strength, and after resting for about an hour to make himself in the best condition, he immediately took another marrow wash and started to open up the third meridian.
For other monks, after opening up a new meridian, they usually have to recuperate for one to three months to increase the toughness and activity of the meridian before continuing to open up the next meridian.
But Zhang Ruochen waited less than a month, and now he was about to open up the third meridian, hitting the middle stage of Huangji Realm.
In this way, the difficulty more than doubled.
"I can do it, I can do it, I must reach the middle of the Yellow Realm tonight."
Holding a spirit crystal in Zhang Ruochen's hand, while absorbing the spiritual energy in the spirit crystal, he mobilized all the true energy in his body, and suddenly struck towards the third meridian pulse.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound between Zhang Ruochen's eyebrows.
The qi pool, which was originally only the size of a basketball, immediately expanded ten times to the size of a water tank, like a three-foot-square pool.
Now, Zhang Ruochen's qi pool can truly be called a qi pool.
This is the cultivation base of the middle stage of Huangji Realm!
"Now, I can only be regarded as having just entered the middle stage of the Yellow Realm, and the true qi in my body has not increased much. Of course, I have room for improvement now. If I can fully cultivate the true qi in the qi pool, the true qi in my body will go up. Increased by ten times." Zhang Ruochen felt a sense of joy in his heart, and his martial arts cultivation had finally become stronger again.
Every time a realm is raised, the capacity of the qi pool will increase accordingly, and it will naturally be able to accommodate more true qi.
If you can't break through the realm, then even if you practice for ten years, the true energy in your body will not increase at all. Because your qi pool is only so big and can only hold so much true qi.
After breaking through to the middle stage of Huangji Realm, the impurities in the body are transported out of the pores, like a layer of black slime, emitting a faint stench.
Zhang Ruochen immediately fetched a bucket of hot water. After taking a shower, he put on a new dress and immediately returned to the inner space of the spar.
He held a pen in his hand, and it turned into a human-shaped pattern on the paper roll very smoothly.
Then, relying on the memory in his mind, he drew thirty-six meridians on the humanoid pattern, and the running route of each meridian was different.
There is only one thing in common: the thirty-six meridians all converge to the Qi pool between the eyebrows.
It was the first time Zhang Ruochen looked through the first layer of "Jiutian Mingdi Jing", what he saw was such a "meridian map", without any text explanation, he had to comprehend it by himself.
The more advanced the cultivation method is, the more meridians will be opened up in the body, and the faster the transfer of true energy will be.
"A low-grade human-level exercise can only open up seven meridians."
"The "Jiutian Mingdi Jing" records the running routes of thirty-six meridians. Every time a meridian is added for cultivation, the martial body will become stronger. If all the thirty-six meridians are opened up, how will the martial body become? powerful?"
The word "ji" in Huang Jijing represents the limit of meridians.
In Zhang Ruochen's last life, he only cultivated thirty-three meridians, and there are three more meridians, which he couldn't develop!
With the martial arts that developed thirty-three meridians in his previous life, he has already defeated the invincible opponents of his generation. Even Empress Chi Yao, who is the most powerful in the world today, is a step behind him, only opening up thirty-one meridians.
"I have already opened up three meridians, which belong to the middle stage of Huangji Realm. If I want to break through to the late Huangji Realm, I need to open up at least three more meridians."
Zhang Ruochen rolled up the meridian map and placed it on the stone platform.
If you want to hit the late stage of Huangji Realm, you must first cultivate the true qi in the qi pool to the full.
If one practiced in accordance with the rules, even with the help of Lingjing's aura, it would take one and a half months of practice to fill the whole body with true qi and fill the qi pool.
Zhang Ruochen couldn't wait that long, so he decided to take the "Qi Gathering Pill".
A Qi Gathering Pill is worth 1,000 silver coins, which is simply a rare treasure for ordinary warriors. Even for the young children of those middle-level families, it is difficult to get a Qi Gathering Pill.
Zhang Ruochen bought ten pieces at once, intending to use them to quickly improve his cultivation.
The Qi Gathering Pill is only the size of a pearl, with a faint fragrance, and wisps of spiritual energy can be seen flowing on the surface of the pill with the naked eye.
Zhang Ruochen swallowed the Qi Gathering Pill into his mouth.
After a while.
With a "boom", the Qi Gathering Pill exploded in the body, turning into a ball of violent Dan Qi, jumping up and down in Zhang Ruochen's body.
The three meridians absorb the pill qi at the fastest speed, and run a big cycle in the body, and the pill qi is transformed into true qi and stored in the qi pool.
Although Zhang Ruochen had tried his best to absorb the alchemy, 70% of the alchemy was still lost from the pores. He only absorbed 30% of the Qi of a Qi Gathering Pill.
It took him a whole day to completely convert that 30% of the pill qi into his own true qi.
After refining the 30% pill qi, the amount of true qi in the qi pool doubled.
"I have only opened up three meridians, and the conversion speed of true energy is still too slow, and 70% of the pill energy is wasted. If a martial artist at the lower limit of Huangji Realm takes Qi Gathering Pill, he can The qi of the Qi Dan is completely transformed into one's own true qi, and no trace will be wasted."
"It doesn't matter! As long as you can improve your cultivation quickly, it's worth wasting more silver coins. With the medicinal power of Qi Gathering Pill, I can refine four more to fill the Qi Pool with true Qi."
Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen has plenty of silver coins now, so he doesn't have to worry about money. Otherwise, every time he takes a Qi Gathering Pill of 1,000 silver coins, he will feel distressed.
He did not continue to take the second Qi Gathering Pill, stopped practicing, walked out of the inner space of the space-time spar, and returned to the room.
He had cultivated for more than a day inside the space-time spar, and only half a day had passed outside.
At this moment, it is noon.
Zhang Ruochen didn't disturb Yun'er and Concubine Lin, so he called a bucket of hot water and put it in the room.
He didn't want to take a bath, but a medicated bath.
Warriors not only want to cultivate true qi, but also temper their own bodies.
Compared with his peers, Zhang Ruochen's body seemed a little weak. If he wanted to become stronger within a few months, he not only needed to practice boxing, but also took a medicinal bath.
Zhang Ruochen bought a total of five body refining powders, each worth 1,000 silver coins.
Take out one of the body refining powder and put it into the wooden barrel.
In the wooden barrel, there was a "chichi" sound immediately, and white smoke came out of the wooden barrel.
Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged in the barrel, his head was submerged in the potion.
The potion is very hot, almost like boiling water, with bubbles coming out one by one.
A sharp pain came from the surface of the skin, and then that pain penetrated into the flesh and blood. Finally, the pain entered the bone marrow and internal organs.
Burning pain all over the body. If it was another warrior, he would definitely not be able to bear this pain and would jump out of the barrel.
Zhang Ruochen was like a rock, sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the barrel, without any expression change, silently enduring the pain from the body.
Only by enduring hardships can one become a master.
