After winning ten games in a row at the Huang-level Martial Arts Palace, Zhang Ruochen finally collected one million silver coins and sent them to Qingxuan Pavilion.
Afterwards, the Qingxuan Pavilion immediately sent someone to escort the seventh-order real martial arts refining furnace to the palace.
As soon as Zhang Ruochen and the Ninth Princess came to the gate of the palace, an old eunuch greeted him, prostrated himself in front of Zhang Ruochen and the Ninth Princess, and said in a high-pitched voice, "My servant pays homage to the Ninth Prince and the Ninth Princess. Concubine Lin is waiting for you in the Xiaqi Palace, so hurry over there!"
You don't need to guess to know what's going on, it must be the news that he became a Huangbang warrior was sent back to the palace, it's strange that Yunwu County King didn't summon him.
Zhang Ruochen ordered the guards in the palace to send the refining furnace back to his residence, and then he and the nine princesses rushed to Xiaqi Hall immediately.
As soon as they walked into the Xiaqi Palace, they heard the laughter of Yunwu Junwang: "Jiu'er, it's only been more than a month since the end-of-year assessment, and you have broken through two realms one after another, reaching the extreme level of Huangji Realm, even more so!" My father is very happy to become a Huangbang warrior."
Ninth Princess said: "Father, Ninth Brother's strength is absolutely unfathomable, and his real cultivation cannot be judged by the realm of martial arts."
"Oh! Really? Father really wants to test the extent of his cultivation today? Haishu, go and compete with His Royal Highness Ninth Prince to see if you can find out the truth of His Royal Highness Ninth Prince." Strength." Yunwu County King said.
"The last general takes orders!"
On the left side of the main hall, a man wearing Tie Lin armor knelt down on one knee and bowed to King Yunwu, then walked towards Zhang Ruochen, "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, please enlighten me!"
Zhang Ruochen knew that King Yunwu wanted to see his true strength.
After all, just over a month has passed since the year-end assessment. In such a short period of time, he has reached the level of a Huangbang warrior, even the Yunwu County King can't believe it.
Concubine Lin sat beside King Yunwu, and said, "Chen'er, Master Haishu is also a warrior on the yellow list, ranking twenty-third on the yellow list. If you compete with each other, your father will also know your status." real strength."
Concubine Lin was very relieved. When the news that Zhang Ruochen became a Huangbang warrior came back to the palace, she couldn't believe her ears.
Of course, she also hoped that Zhang Ruochen would become better and better, and be recognized by King Yunwu. This is a mentality of hopeful success!
"In this case, Lord Haishu, let's learn a few tricks!"
Zhang Ruochen didn't underestimate Haishu, none of them was weak to become a Huangbang warrior.
"Wow!"
The flashing soul sword left its sheath, and under the urging of the true energy in Zhang Ruochen's body, a force-type inscription, two ice-type inscriptions, and a light-type inscription were activated at the same time.
When Zhang Ruochen mobilized the true energy in his body, Junwang Yunwu let out a light sigh.
Because, he saw more than twenty meridians in Zhang Ruochen's body. Some of the meridians are odd meridians, very weird, even with his cultivation base, he still can't see through them.
There are at least twenty-three, and it is estimated that there will be more.
"What level of kung fu did Jiu'er practice, and how did he develop so many meridians?" Prince Yunwu was a little surprised.
"Wow!"
Zhang Ruochen and Haishu finally started to fight.
Zhang Ruochen used a sword, and Haishu used a knife.
Haishu is also a strong man of the Great Perfection in the Huangji Realm, his combat power is not as good as Liu Chengfeng, and even weaker than Han Axe.
At the fifteenth move, Zhang Ruochen performed a move called Tianxin Pomei, which knocked the sword out of Haishu's hand and won the contest.
Haishu's tiger's mouth was split open, drips of crimson blood dripped out, and his whole arm became numb, he said: "His Royal Highness Ninth Prince is indeed the eleventh master in the yellow list, Haishu is willing to bow down."
After saying this, Haishu picked up the saber on the ground and retreated immediately.
"His Royal Highness, the Ninth Prince, defeated a Huangbang warrior with only fifteen moves. Old slave, today is really an eye-opener! Congratulations, Your Majesty, Concubine Lin!" The old eunuch next to King Yunwu flattered road.
The King of Yunwu County laughed loudly, and said: "Haishu, you are not wronged. You only cultivated the artistic conception of the Dao of the Sword to the elementary level, but Jiu'er still cultivated the artistic conception of the Dao of the Sword to the high level of the Heart, such a big gap , how could you be undefeated?"
Artistic conception, also known as state of mind, refers to the martial artist's understanding of martial arts.
Artistic conception is divided into three realms: free-flowing, transparent, and united.
For example, a martial artist who practices kendo and reaches the state of following his heart is called "the sword follows his heart".
Reaching the state of enlightenment is called "Jianxin Tongming".
Reaching the state of unity is called "the unity of man and sword".
It is the same to practice sword technique, spear technique, palm technique, boxing technique, and stick technique, and the artistic conception is also divided into these three realms.
Generally speaking, in the Huangji Realm, one who can cultivate to the elementary level of following one's heart is considered a genius.
If one wants to cultivate to the level of free heart, generally only warriors in the Black Realm can do it.
If you want to cultivate to a high level, generally only warriors in the extreme earth realm can do it.
Zhang Ruochen was only sixteen years old, and his cultivation at the Huangji Realm had reached the high level of free will, so he was naturally very heaven-defying, and he could defeat warriors of the same realm with a single strike.
"At the same age, I just reached the elementary stage of following one's heart, and he has already reached the high stage of following one's heart. He is really perverted." Ninth princess muttered in a low voice.
The king of Yunwu County said: "Everyone back down, I have something to say, I want to talk to the Ninth Prince alone."
After a while, everyone including Princess Nine and Concubine Lin retreated.
In Xiaqi Hall, only Zhang Ruochen and King Yunwu remained.
King Yunwu stood up from the throne, walked into the hall, stood opposite Zhang Ruochen, and said solemnly: "Tell me, how many meridians have you opened up?"
Zhang Ruochen didn't hide anything, and said, "Twenty-seven meridians!"
In fact, there is nothing to hide. Once he mobilized his true qi, the meridians in his body would emerge, which couldn't be hidden from the eyes of King Yunwu.
"There are so many!"
King Yunwu took a breath, and it was more than he expected.
His eyes became more serious, and he said: "During the last year-end assessment, this king knew that you had an adventure, and you must have cultivated some powerful skills. If you don't want to talk about this matter, this king will not." Ask. But, you have to learn to hide."
"During the year-end assessment, why didn't you wear the Ice Fire Qilin Armor that was rewarded to you? Don't you know that the Ice Fire Qilin Armor can cover part of your meridians, so that people can't see the number of meridians in your body?"
"Um?"
Zhang Ruochen was slightly taken aback, he never thought that the Ice Fire Qilin Armor rewarded to him by the King of Yunwu County had such a meaning.
"From now on, when fighting against others, I will wear the ice and fire unicorn armor." Zhang Ruochen said.
Prince Yunwu nodded and said: "In the Huang-level Martial Arts Palace, the only person who can see through the number of meridians in your body is Liu Chuanshen. This king will personally greet him and let him keep the secret."
Zhang Ruochen has opened up too many meridians. To open up so many meridians must be because he practiced some kind of heaven-defying technique.
Any martial artist wants to obtain the cultivation technique against the sky!
Once being targeted by a strong person, it will be quite unfavorable to Zhang Ruochen.
King Yunwu took out a purple-gold box from his sleeve, handed it to Zhang Ruochen, and said, "This is a fourth-grade body refining pill called Qilin Pill, which is made from Qilin's blood and inner alchemy. It should be of great help to you."
Each of the fourth-grade elixir is worth hundreds of thousands of silver coins, and it is difficult for even a martial artist in the extreme celestial realm to obtain one.
Obviously, Yunwu County King also knew that Zhang Ruochen had great potential, so he rewarded him with this fourth-grade elixir to help him strengthen the foundation of martial arts.
The king of Yunwu County said: "With your current cultivation base, if you directly take the Qilin Pill, you will definitely not be able to refine it, and you will explode and die. Therefore, wait until you enter the Manshen Lake to practice, and then take the Qilin Pill, and use the help of the Barbarian Pill." Only the power of the blood essence in the Shenchi can refine the Qilin Pill."
"Your cultivation has just reached the extreme level, right?"
Zhang Ruochen nodded.
The king of Yunwu County said: "You first cultivate the true qi in the qi pool to perfection and reach the peak of the great pole, and then go to the Manshen pool to practice! That will benefit you even more."
"En!" Zhang Ruochen nodded.
"You back down!" Junwang Yunwu gave Zhang Ruochen a deep look, and then waved his hand lightly.
Zhang Ruochen bowed to King Yunwu and walked out of the hall.
Suddenly, the voice of King Yunwu came from behind and said: "Jiu'er, being born in the emperor's family is like being born in the jungle. Even if you are the father and the king of the jungle, it is impossible to protect you forever. If you are not good enough , will only be eliminated. If you are good enough, you can stand out in the cruel competition, the survival of the fittest, each has its own fate."
Zhang Ruochen stopped slightly without turning around, and said, "I understand!"
After saying this, he walked out of the hall.
How could Zhang Ruochen not understand?
There are too many children of the emperor, and it is impossible to take care of every child.
Only excellent people can get the emperor's attention. Those who are not outstanding will only disappear in the eyes of the emperor.
If Zhang Ruochen is still the same, without showing outstanding cultivation talent, he will gradually disappear in the eyes of King Yunwu. Now, it's a different situation. As long as he is good enough, he will only get more and more training resources in the future, and his status will become higher and higher.
...
Another part of the palace.
"Snapped!
The queen threw a teacup heavily on the ground, shattered it to pieces, and said coldly: "What a Ninth Prince, he has become a Huangbang warrior so quickly! If he grows up, then it's okay?"
"What does the Queen mean?" A beautiful maid with a red mole on her brow asked sharply as she stood behind the Queen.
The queen let out a long breath, and said, "Qingluo's cultivation has broken through to the Black Realm, right?"
"Two days ago, Junior Sister Qingluo just broke through to the Black Realm," said the maid.
The Queen said: "Let her act as soon as possible, at all costs, the Ninth Prince must be eliminated. Within a month, this Queen must see the Ninth Prince's head."
"What if the Ninth Prince doesn't leave the palace for a month?" said the maid.
The queen's eyes became a bit fierce, and she said, "This empress said, no matter what the cost."
"Subordinates understand!"
That maid immediately retreated, and wanted to convey the queen's order to Han Qingluo.
