Back at the inn, Zhang Ruochen entered the inner space of the time and space crystal and began to practice.
Even if you have to stay in the royal city for two days as Chen Ruo, you must make reasonable use of these two days and not waste it.
"Since you can't find the Shenqi grass, you can only refine the Three-Leaf Holy Qi grass and strive to increase your cultivation to the late stage of the Earth's Extreme Realm at the fastest speed."
The three-leaf Holy Qi Grass only grows in the place where the semi-saint falls, absorbs the semi-saint's holy power all year round, and has the medicinal power to improve physical fitness and cultivation.
Now, Zhang Ruochen has fifty-three three-leaf holy qi grass left. As long as all of them are refined, there is still hope to break through to the late stage of the Earth Extreme Realm in a short period of time.
According to Zhang Ruochen's calculations, it will take at least four months to completely refine the medicinal power of the fifty-three three-leaf holy qi herbs and convert it into its own power.
For other warriors in the extreme realm, it is already quite fast to spend four months breaking through one realm. However, for Zhang Ruochen now, it is still too slow.
"In four months, even if you rely on the time power of the time crystal, it will take about one and a half months."
Zhang Ruochen is quite clear about his current situation. In a month and a half, it is not long or short. The situation is changing, and no one knows what the next step will be?
There is no other way to imagine now. I can only practice hard and improve my martial arts cultivation as much as possible.
Zhang Ruochen separated three of the three-leaf holy qi grasses and put them in another jade box, preparing to take them back to the palace and give them to Princess Nine.
The medicinal power of the Three-Leaf Holy Qi Grass is no longer very obvious to Zhang Ruochen. However, Princess Nine is now at the Xuanji Realm. For her, even if it is just a Three-Leaf Holy Qi Grass, it is a priceless treasure that can temper martial arts and expand Qi Lake.
In the inner space of the time and space crystal, Zhang Ruochen spent six days refining four three-leaf holy Qi grass in a row. His martial arts cultivation has not improved significantly, but it is more profound and pure than before.
"Fifty three-leaf holy qi grass can help me break through the realm. When my cultivation reaches the late stage of the Earth Extreme Realm, it is estimated that the use of the three-leaf holy qi grass to me will be even more slim."
Martial arts practice is originally a step by step, and requires gradual practice.
But Zhang Ruochen is taking another path, which is to improve his cultivation at the fastest speed through the most expensive cultivation resources.
At the same time, he also uses elixirs and holy power to temper his physical constitution, strengthen his body, and expand his Qi sea. It can be said that Zhang Ruochen spent a lot of money to improve his physical constitution.
This path is simply not advisable for others.
First of all, the consumption of cultivation resources is a huge number.
For example: Fifty three-leaf holy qi grasses are worth 15 million silver coins, but Zhang Ruochen is just used to break through the late stage of the Earth's Extreme Realm.
Even Huang Yanchen, who has a tough family background, cannot afford to consume resources.
Secondly, Zhang Ruochen has cultivated martial souls and has strong mental power. His understanding of martial arts has reached the level of great perfection in the realm of the Great Extreme Realm. Therefore, he dared to refine cultivation resources without any scruples and break through the realm at the fastest speed.
This is Zhang Ruochen’s biggest advantage!
If it were another warrior, if he dared to practice like him, he would have been obsessed with it long ago.
Martial arts practice is like filling water into a wooden barrel. Other warriors not only need to add water into the wooden barrel, but also constantly add wooden boards to make the wooden barrel taller and fill more water.
However, Zhang Ruochen already had a wooden barrel, but the water in the barrel was poured out by someone. Therefore, even if he started over, he only needed to add water to the barrel, and he didn't have to worry about whether the barrel could be filled or not.
In other words, before reaching the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, Zhang Ruochen's cultivation path was open and without any obstacles.
"It's time to go back to the palace!"
Zhang Ruochen took off the metal mask on his face, changed into a set of brocade robes for students from the inner palace of Wu City Academy, hired a frame, and walked straight towards the palace.
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince is back!"
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince is back to the palace!"
...
News of Zhang Ruochen's return soon spread throughout the palace.
Zhang Ruochen went to Yushu Palace as soon as possible to pay homage to Concubine Lin.
When the palace maids in Yushu Palace saw Zhang Ruochen, they all showed awe and admiration, and immediately knelt down and bowed, extremely respectful.
When the mother and son met, they naturally felt a little nervous about their well-being and family matters. Concubine Lin pinched Zhang Ruochen's hand and refused to let go for a long time. She said in tears: "Chen'er... It's good to come back, it's good to come back."
"I should have spent more time to come back to see my mother." Zhang Ruochen looked at Lin Fei and finally felt the warmth of family affection in his heart.
Zhang Ruochen showed extraordinary talent in the Wushi Academy and was engaged to Princess Yanchen of Qianshui County. Concubine Lin's status in the palace gradually increased, and she could receive some body refining medicines that only warriors could take every month.
In the past year, Lin Fei's complexion has improved a lot, as if she is ten years younger.
"It's a pity that my mother did not open the divine martial arts seal. Otherwise, I would have some cultivation resources that I could give to my mother." Zhang Ruochen said.
Concubine Lin gently touched Zhang Ruochen's head, smiled and said, "Cultivation resources are very expensive, so you can keep them for yourself. As long as you can become a martial arts master, your mother will be happier than anything else."
A sweet shout came from outside, "Ninth brother, ninth brother, don't come back to the palace... Concubine Lin is also there..."
The Ninth County Lord Zhang Yuxi rushed in from outside in a hurry. After seeing Concubine Lin, he was slightly shocked, grinned, and immediately became docile, and saluted at Concubine Lin respectfully.
Zhang Ruochen gently patted Lin Fei's hand and said, "Mom, I have a chat with Sister Jiu in advance. In the evening, I will have a meal with my mother."
Concubine Lin nodded with a smile and said, "You go!"
Zhang Ruochen pulled Princess Jiu out of Yushu Palace and smiled slightly: "Sister Jiu, how did you practice "Tianhe Jade Sutra"? But what are you incomprehensible?"
"Tianhe Jade Sutra" is a martial art passed down by Zhang Ruochen to Princess Ninth, a low-level ghost-level martial art. It is definitely the top-level defeated martial art in the thirty-six counties and countries of Tianmo Ridge.
Princess Nine raised her chin and said proudly: "I have already practiced to the second level, and my martial arts cultivation has entered the late stage of Xuanji Realm. Half a year later, the Wushi Academy will be recruiting students, and I will also register. At that time, we will all be students from the Wushi Academy, and we have to call you a senior brother. Haha!"
"The late stage of Cai Xuanji Realm..."
Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly and said, "Lin Ningshan has reached the small position of Xuanji Realm, one level higher than you. In this year's end-of-year assessment, you are definitely not her opponent."
"How can I compare? Lin Ningshan worshipped into Yuntai Sect Mansion, the martial arts holy land, and his martial arts cultivation will naturally improve by leaps and bounds." Princess Nine glanced at her mouth and said with some dissatisfaction.
Zhang Ruochen said, "But you are practicing the lower level of ghost-level martial arts, and you are so smarter than the martial arts she practices. What's going on? Explain it clearly to me?"
Princess Nine stuck out her tongue and said, "Is there anyone who talks to her sister like this? Okay! Then I'll tell the truth. Actually, I want to compete for the first place in the "Yellow List", so I've been delayed for half a year in Huangji Realm."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Did you earn first place in the Yellow List?"
"Of course, I have opened up twenty-two meridians. If I can't even win the first place in the "Yellow List", how embarrassing?" Princess Nine said with a smile.
Even Zhang Tiangui, the seventh prince, who is known as the number one genius of the thirty-six counties and states in Tianmo Ridge, has only opened up twenty-three meridians. She only has one less meridian than Zhang Tiangui, so she is naturally very proud.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, "The skills you and the Seventh Prince are all low-level ghost-level. Even the "Six Profound Holy Kung Fu" practiced by the Seventh Prince is not as good as the "Yuhe Heavenly Sutra". But you have opened up a meridian less than him. What else can you be proud of?"
Princess Nine put her hands on her hips, stared at her eyes, and said, "Brother Seven is the first genius of the thirty-six counties in Tianmo Ridge. How could I compare with him? Even if the number of meridians I have opened is the same as his, I cannot be his opponent."
It has to be said that Zhang Tiangui's talent is indeed far superior to Princess Nine and Zhang Ruochen. He was born in Yunwu County and could not obtain the top-level martial arts, so he is only at his current level.
Zhang Ruochen couldn't get angry when he saw Princess Ninth, and said, "Remember in the future, if you can compete, you can compete. If you can't compete, there is no need to waste your time in practicing to compete. It will be no harm to you when you settle in the Huangji Realm for a while. I will not pursue this matter anymore, and don't be so willful in the future."
As he said that, Zhang Ruochen took out a jade box and handed it to Princess Ninth, saying, "There are three three-leaf holy qi grasses in it. If you can refine them all, I guarantee that your physique can be improved a lot again. Although it is still not as good as the Seventh Prince and I who are of the same cultivation period, it can at least reach two extremes, or even half extremes."
"What are the two wonders? What are the two wonders?" asked Princess Nine.
Zhang Ruochen said: "When you enter the Wu City Academy, you will naturally understand."
In the distance, a series of footsteps came, and Zhang Ruochen felt a sense in his heart and immediately looked towards the gate of the garden.
A handsome and energetic man in a golden robe looked in his early twenties, with thick eyebrows, a knife-carved face, and a steady pace, giving people a noble temperament of a superior, walked in from outside the gate.
Walking side by side with him was a graceful and beautiful woman. She looked about twenty years old, with long skin like snow, long black hair, and her every frown and smile was like a spring breeze. If she stood in the crowd, she would definitely stand out and be seen at a glance.
The two of them were visiting the garden, followed by a large group of people, including the third prince, the fifth prince, the sixth prince, Lin Chenyu, Lin Ningshan, and some warriors Zhang Ruochen did not know.
They accompanied them all the way, chatting and laughing, or giving advice to the country, and there were also words of flattery and flattering to everyone.
"Your Highness the Seventh Prince, it is true that the evil rats in the Black Market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect will be killed soon by the Wushi Academy and Yuntai Sect Mansion."
"Since my seventh brother has returned to the royal city, who dares to act wildly in the royal city?"
...
The handsome man in a golden robe suddenly stopped and looked at Zhang Ruochen and Princess Jiu standing in the middle of the garden. At first glance, it looked like two young couples were having a private meeting.
Princess Nine was obviously afraid of the man in the golden robe, so she immediately went up to him, bowed to him, and said, "Yu Xi greets Brother Seven."
"So he is the Seventh Prince, Zhang Tiangui." Zhang Ruochen narrowed his eyes and stared at the man in golden robe.
Today, it was the first time Zhang Ruochen saw the long-rumored Seventh Prince.
