Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged at the bottom of the water, calmly, without changing his face, mobilizing the true energy in his body to run through the three meridians.
Infuriating, every time it runs around, the pain will weaken a little bit.
With his current martial arts cultivation base, he can't hold his breath in the water for a long time to practice. Every five minutes, he will go to the surface of the water to change his breath.
After an hour passed, the pain gradually disappeared, and a cold air flow entered the body to repair the damaged body. The refreshing feeling permeated the whole body, almost making people groan/groan.
"Wow!"
Zhang Ruochen stood up from the water, wiped off the water droplets on his body with a bath towel, stood in front of a bronze mirror, looked at his body, and nodded.
After practicing for more than ten days, coupled with the tempering of the medicinal bath, the body is obviously stronger, not as thin as before, a little sickly.
Of course, the more than ten days in the space-time spar, only four days have passed in reality.
Four days ago, he was just a weakling, kicked out of Yushu Palace by the Eighth Prince, and ruthlessly ridiculed and bullied by everyone. Who knows, after four days, he already possessed the martial arts cultivation base of the middle Huangji Realm.
This is nothing short of a miracle!
"It's not enough! The middle stage of the Huangji Realm is just the beginning!" Zhang Ruochen clenched his fists tightly, his eyes sharp.
After putting on his clothes, he took a blood pill, entered the inner space of the space-time spar, and continued to practice.
Being able to reach the middle stage of Huangji Realm within four days was not only because of his previous martial arts experience, but also because of the help of the space-time spar.
With the space-time spar, he has three times more training time than other warriors. This is his unique advantage!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Pretty much like Chidi!"
Zhang Ruochen's legs were bent, he was stepping on his steps, and his arms were constantly clapping out. Every palm beat would mobilize the strength of every inch of muscle and every bone in his body.
Just after taking the medicinal bath, he had to rely on boxing to integrate all the medicinal power into his body and transform it into his own strength.
For the next few days, Zhang Ruochen practiced almost in the inner space of the space-time spar, and only went out of the inner space every three days.
Concubine Lin knew that Zhang Ruochen had just opened the Imprint of Divine Martial Arts, so she must practice in seclusion, open up a qi pool, wash the marrow and pulse, so she didn't ask any more questions, but told Yun'er to take good care of Zhang Ruochen's daily life.
She would still sell her accessories and give Zhang Ruochen the silver coins to buy blood pills.
Often at this time, Zhang Ruochen would let Yun'er take silver coins to buy those accessories back at a high price quietly.
This is an indescribable emotion, and Zhang Ruochen was very moved by that kind of selfless love.
Gradually, Zhang Ruochen accepted the identity of this body, and regarded Concubine Lin as his real mother.
"His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, should we tell Concubine Lin the truth? If she knows that you are now a real warrior, she will be very happy." Yun'er said.
"Not for the time being. I want to surprise her when the year-end assessment is held. Besides, my current cultivation is not strong enough, and I need to become stronger." Zhang Ruochen said.
Now, Yun'er knows many secrets of Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen told her almost everything except the secrets of the previous life and the space-time spar.
In Yun'er's view, His Royal Highness Ninth Prince is simply a remarkable martial arts genius. In a short period of time, he has already cultivated to the middle stage of Huangji Realm. Compared with His Highness Ninth Prince, those other princes are far behind.
Perhaps, only His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, who is the most cultivated among his generation, can be compared with His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince.
After reaching the middle stage of Huangji Realm, Zhang Ruochen practiced in the space-time spar for another month, taking a Qi Gathering Pill every six days, and taking a medicinal bath every ten days.
At other times, they are all practicing the second palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm "Flying Dragon in the Sky" and comprehending the "Meridian Diagram" of "Nine Heavens Mingdi Jing".
The second palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm has not been cultivated successfully, but the true qi in the qi pool has been cultivated to perfection.
"We can start attacking the late stage of Huangji Realm tonight!" Zhang Ruochen said.
Hearing this, Yun'er turned pale with shock, and said, "Late stage of Huangji Realm? It's only been ten days since His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince reached the middle stage of Huangji Realm, and he will be able to hit the late stage of Huangji Realm? It took the Eighth Prince four years to reach the middle stage of Huangji Realm." From the middle stage of Huangji Realm to the late stage of Huangji Realm."
Yun'er didn't know the existence of space-time spar, and thought that Zhang Ruochen had only practiced for ten days, but in fact, Zhang Ruochen had been practicing for a whole month.
This is also because he spent a lot of time on tempering his body, otherwise, his cultivation speed would be faster.
"Soon? It can only be regarded as a matter of course!"
Zhang Ruochen didn't think his cultivation speed was so fast. If other geniuses had such abundant cultivation resources as him, their cultivation speed would definitely be very fast.
It took the Eighth Prince four years to reach the late stage of Huangji Realm, which only shows that his aptitude is too poor.
Anyway, at this moment, Yun'er was very excited, and said: "Ninth Prince, I believe you will succeed. As long as you reach the late stage of Huangji Realm, we will no longer have to be afraid of the Eighth Prince."
"Well! You go out first! Don't let anyone disturb me tonight." Zhang Ruochen said.
Yun'er nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice, and said: "Tonight, I will stand outside the door. If anyone dares to disturb the Ninth Prince's cultivation, I will stop him even if I die."
Zhang Ruochen stared at Yun'er deeply, and said softly, "Thank you!"
After Yun'er walked out of Zhang Ruochen's room, Zhang Ruochen immediately entered the inner space of the spar.
"If I want to break through to the late stage of Huangji Realm, I must open up three meridians in one go, so that the meridians run through the five internal organs, both arms, and both feet."
Zhang Ruochen took out three small jade bottles in a row and put them in a row. Each small jade bottle contained a portion of pulp washing liquid.
After adjusting himself to the best condition, Zhang Ruochen swallowed the marrow washing liquid from the first small jade bottle into his mouth, and with the help of the medicinal power of the marrow washing liquid, he immediately began to open up the fourth meridian in his body.
After spending half an hour, the fourth meridian was successfully developed.
The fourth meridian flows out from the Qi pool, passes through the neck, chest cavity, left arm, and right arm, then rushes up the head along the spine on the back, and returns to the Qi pool between the eyebrows to complete a big cycle.
Without any rest, Zhang Ruochen took the pulp washing liquid in the second small jade bottle, and immediately began to open the fifth meridian.
The fifth meridian extends from the Qi pool, passes through the chest cavity, abdominal cavity, passes through the left leg and right leg, and returns to the Qi pool again.
This meridian route is longer, and it took Zhang Ruochen three full hours to successfully develop it.
Most of the zhenqi in the body was consumed, and the whole body was covered with beads of sweat. Zhang Ruochen had to take out a spirit crystal, hold it in his hand, quickly absorb the aura in the spirit crystal, transform it into zhenqi, and store it in the qi pool.
The true qi in the qi pool returned to its full state again.
Zhang Ruochen immediately took the marrow washing liquid in the third small jade bottle, and began to open up the sixth meridian.
This meridian flows through the spleen, lungs, kidneys, liver, and heart, and belongs to the five internal organs of the human body. The five internal organs can be strengthened by the real air flowing through them. At the same time, the internal organs are also the most fragile, Zhang Ruochen must carefully control them.
After spending a full six hours, the true qi in the body was almost completely exhausted, but the meridians still hadn't opened up all over the body, and there was still a small gap.
If the true qi is interrupted, all efforts will be wasted, and even the five internal organs will suffer trauma.
In the future, if you want to open up this meridian, it will be ten times more difficult than it is now.
Zhang Ruochen made a bold decision and took a Qi Gathering Pill into his mouth very quickly.
"boom!"
The Dan Qi of the Qi Gathering Pill suddenly exploded in the body.
Zhang Ruochen immediately focused on two purposes, while using the five meridians that had been opened up to absorb Dan Qi, continuously transform it into True Qi, and transport it to the Qi pool.
At the other end, carefully control the true energy, and continue to attack the sixth meridian.
This is a huge test for a person's spiritual power. Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen was a strong man in the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm in his previous life.
The sixth meridian was opened up successfully!
The qi pool between the eyebrows emits a circle of white brilliance, and its capacity expands ten times again.
In the middle of the Huangji Realm, the Qi pool is only the size of a water tank.
Now, Zhang Ruochen's qi pool has become as big as ten water tanks. It is very open, but it can hold a lot of true qi.
"Finally broke through to the late stage of Huangji Realm!"
Zhang Ruochen pinched a spirit crystal in his hand, and the imprint of martial arts emerged between his brows, and began to absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit crystal continuously.
All six meridians are in operation, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy from the mark of Shenwu has doubled.
After stabilizing the realm, Zhang Ruochen stopped practicing.
He opened his eyes, and his pupils became extremely bright, like two bright cold stars.
Three new meridians were opened up, and a large amount of impurities in the body were discharged from the pores, emitting a stench.
Zhang Ruochen walked out of the inner space of the space-time spar. After taking a bath in the wooden barrel that had been prepared earlier, he put on his clothes, opened the door and went out.
At this moment, it is already late at night.
In the air, flakes of goose-feather-like snowflakes fell one after another, and the entire courtyard was covered with a layer of silver frost.
Yun'er sat on the steps outside Zhang Ruochen's room, curled up, rubbing his hands from time to time, blowing hot air into his palms.
"Squeak!"
Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, Yun'er immediately stood up, looked at Zhang Ruochen who came out, and said happily, "Your Highness Ninth Prince, have you succeeded?
