The national teacher stood up from the ground, glanced at Zhang Ruochen who was standing behind him, showed displeasure, and said, "Ninth Prince, why don't you kneel down and worship Queen Chi Yao?"
"I only worship heaven and earth, my parents, not her."
After Zhang Ruochen finished speaking, he walked through the ancestral halls of the emperors, through a secret door, and along the stone ladder behind the secret door, walked step by step towards the Manshen Pool underground.
The Fifth Prince, Situ Linjiang, Xue Kai, and Lin Ningshan stood up and glanced at Zhang Ruochen.
"Such a rebellious character will kill him sooner or later!" Situ Linjiang shook his head lightly.
After the battle with Zhang Ruochen, Situ Linjiang still admired his talent for martial arts. However, Zhang Ruochen was so arrogant that he didn't even worship the queen, which would definitely cause disaster in the future.
"What is there to be proud of? You are only at the lowest level of the Huangji Realm, and you can only be regarded as just stepping into the martial arts. It is uncertain whether you will become a strong one in the future!" Lin Ningshan said.
Later, under the leadership of the national teacher, the fifth prince, Situ Linjiang, Xue Kai, and Lin Ningshan also walked down the stone stairs and entered an underground world full of blood.
In the center of the underground world, a huge blood-colored pool of gods was excavated, with a length and width of more than 100 meters.
The blood-red pool water kept tumbling, creating waves of blood.
In the center of the pool of blood stands an ancient altar, which is square in shape and built with ten thousand jin boulders. On the surface of each boulder are engraved sacrificial texts and illustrations.
The stone platform goes upwards and is connected with the altar on the ground.
"You should enter the Barbarian God's Pool to practice now! You must remember that the blood essence in the Barbarian God's Pool is very overbearing. If you really can't hold on, you should leave the pool immediately and don't hold on. Otherwise, your life may be in danger. "The national teacher said seriously.
Zhang Ruochen, Lin Ningshan, Situ Linjiang, Fifth Prince, Xue Kai, five young geniuses, walked into the Manshen Pool one by one.
The water in Manshen Pond is very hot, almost like boiling water, it can cook people.
"Well!"
The five young geniuses had just touched the pool water, and they all let out a muffled sound. Their skin immediately melted when they touched the pool water, and their legs became bloody.
They gritted their teeth tightly, held back the pain, and immediately circulated the true qi in their bodies to resist the power of the blood essence.
"If you use your true energy to resist the power of blood essence, then the power of blood essence will not be able to enter your body." The national teacher stood by the pool and said lightly.
In order to gain the power of the blood essence in the Manshen Pool, the five young geniuses had no choice but to take back the zhenqi released into their bodies. The pain came again, and the pain made their meridians stand out.
Zhang Ruochen's mental power was strong, and he could clearly feel that traces of scorching blood essence penetrated into the flesh and blood from the damaged wound, blending into the blood and bones.
"Sure enough, it's the power of blood essence. It's great! With the power of blood essence, my physique can definitely be improved a lot. This opportunity must not be wasted!"
Zhang Ruochen slowly closed his eyes, and walked towards the center of Manshen's Pool step by step.
The further you go to the center, the deeper the pool will be.
Zhang Ruochen only took ten steps, and the blood-red water reached his waist.
The more contact with the pool water, the faster the speed of absorbing the power of blood essence will naturally be. At the same time, the pain in the body becomes stronger.
The national teacher standing by the pool had a look of surprise in his eyes, and secretly sighed: "It's amazing! The willpower is so strong that he dared to go to the middle zone just after entering the Manshen Pool. It was the first time that the Seventh Prince entered the Manshen Pool. When Shenchi was cultivating, it took an hour to get used to the low zone before he dared to go to the middle zone."
The Manshen Pool is divided into three zones: low zone, middle zone, and high zone.
The low-level area is the periphery of the Manshen Pool. The deepest part of the low position can only reach the warrior's knees.
Generally speaking, warriors who entered the Barbarian God Pool for training for the first time only dared to practice in the low-level area, and did not dare to enter the middle-level area at all.
In the past ten years, only the Seventh Prince entered the middle zone when he entered the Manshen Pool for the first time to practice.
Zhang Ruochen had just entered the Manshen Pool, and he went directly to the middle area to practice, which indeed caused a lot of shock, causing the other four young warriors to exert tremendous pressure.
It was the second time for the fifth prince to enter the Manshen Pool to practice, but he still didn't dare to enter the middle zone. He could only persevere in the low zone, trying to absorb more blood essence, temper his body, and strengthen his physique.
Two hours later, Lin Ningshan couldn't hold on anymore and immediately withdrew from Manshen Pool. After all, she is a woman, and her physical fitness cannot be compared with that of a male warrior.
As soon as she walked out of the Manshen's Pool, the burnt skin on her legs recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon became as smooth as jade, without even a single scar.
The unbearable pain disappeared, and was replaced by a cool and comfortable feeling. Every inch of her skin felt as if soaked in an ice crystal milk bath, very comfortable.
"How did you recover so quickly?" Lin Ningshan was surprised.
"It's the power of blood essence that you just absorbed, which helped you recover from the injuries of your legs! Practice immediately, and try to refine all the power of blood essence and transform it into your own power. Otherwise, the results of your cultivation just now will be destroyed. It's a big discount." The national teacher said.
Lin Cuishan immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, mobilized her true energy, and refined the power of blood essence left in her body.
After half an hour, Xue Kai couldn't hold on any longer and withdrew from the Manshen Pool.
Another two hours passed, and Situ Linjiang and the fifth prince walked out of Manshen's Pool almost at the same time.
After walking out of the Manshen Pool, they immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to refine the power of blood essence.
At this moment, only Zhang Ruochen is still practicing in the Manshen Pool, and he is still in the middle zone.
"It's been half a day, and it's unbelievable that he can still practice in the middle zone. Back then, the Seventh Prince only persisted in the middle zone for a day. Could he also last a day?" It's an incredible look.
In Yunwu Commandery, the Seventh Prince can be regarded as a genius who is hard to come by in a hundred years. He opened the Seventh Grade Divine Martial Mark at the age of three, and tempered his body with various treasures since he was a child.
The Ninth Prince only opened the mark of divine martial arts at the age of sixteen. Could it be compared with him?
Lin Ningshan, Xue Kai, Situ Linjiang, and the fifth prince refined the power of blood essence remaining in their bodies, and their physiques have been strengthened a lot, and they have benefited greatly.
They did not leave Manshen Pool, but stood by the pool, looking at Zhang Ruochen in the pool.
"It's also the first time I entered the Manshen Pool, why is there such a big gap?" Situ Linjiang felt incredible, and his self-confidence was severely hit.
He thinks that his willpower is very strong, and he can bear the pain that ordinary people can't bear, but compared with Zhang Ruochen, the gap is so big.
A day later, Zhang Ruochen was still standing firmly in the middle of the Manshen Pool.
It wasn't until noon on the third day that Zhang Ruochen walked out of the Manshen Pool, and then, sitting cross-legged on the ground, he began to refine the power of the remaining blood essence in his body.
Refining all the power of blood essence in the body, Zhang Ruochen slowly opened his eyes, and there was a trace of blood in the eyes, and then the blood disappeared and converged into the pupils.
"My physique has really increased a lot. With my current physique, if I hit the extreme of the Huangji Realm, I will definitely be able to open up 19 meridians, and I may even open up 20 meridians." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.
After the year-end assessment, Concubine Lin moved back to live in Yushu Palace.
When Zhang Ruochen returned to Yushu Palace, he immediately took out ten small jade bottles containing pulp washing liquid from the inner space of the spar, and put them neatly in a row.
"It's time to hit the top of the Huangji Realm!"
Zhang Ruochen took the first portion of marrow washing liquid into his mouth, and began to open up the twelfth meridian.
...
At this moment, the national teacher came to Gong Wan, where the queen lived, and reported everything in the Manshen Pool to the queen.
"Boom!"
The queen's five fingers emitted white qi, crushing a glass cup into pieces.
"It's really amazing. He has cultivated in the middle area of Manshenchi for two and a half days. He is very talented! Could it be that he doesn't understand the truth of 'a tree that is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it'?" the queen said in a deep voice.
The national teacher reminded: "My queen, the end-of-year assessment has just passed, if the Ninth Prince encounters any accidents now, the king will definitely suspect you."
The queen sneered and said, "Do you think this empress is so stupid? In the palace, of course he can't be touched. But once he leaves the palace, even if he is killed, it has nothing to do with this empress."
The national teacher said: "Actually, no matter how high the talent of the Ninth Prince is, he is only at the lowest level of the Huangji Realm. He cannot compare with the Seventh Prince at all. It is still unknown whether he can grow up in the future. Queen, it is absolutely unnecessary. ..."
The queen interrupted the words of the national teacher, and said coldly: "Anyone who will threaten Qi'er will die! It is precisely because he has not grown up yet, that's why we have to get rid of him so that we can get rid of him in the future." There will be no future troubles."
