"Second Senior Brother, I have already condensed the Holy Source. Even if I give you the Beast Yuan Golden Pill, it is not a big deal. Besides, your Second Senior Brother has a total of six Beast Yuan Golden Pills. Even if I give you one, it is just a gift."
It’s just a loss of some cultivation, and you will be able to cultivate back soon.”
Zhu Hongtao looked quite nervous, as if Zhang Ruochen would be in a hurry if he didn't accept the Beast Element Golden Pill.
Zhu Hongtao is an ancient relic, and he practiced two techniques at the same time, not only condensing the beast elemental golden elixir, but also cultivating the holy source.
Zhang Ruochen insisted on not accepting the Beast Yuan Golden Pill and said: "Although I want to reach the semi-saint realm as soon as possible, I will not take such a shortcut. What is the difference between swallowing the Beast Yuan Golden Pill of the second senior brother and sucking the blood of the second senior brother?
?”
Zhu Hongtao's expression condensed slightly, then he nodded and said solemnly: "Second Senior Brother admires Junior Brother's character very much. However, there is no need for our own brothers to be so outspoken, right?"
Zhang Ruochen smiled bitterly and shook his head, but instead took a step back.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen's performance, old man Xuanji nodded with satisfaction and said, "Hong Tao, your approach is indeed unsound."
"Your junior brother's current cultivation level has just broken through to the Fish-Dragon Realm. If you let him swallow the Beast Element Golden Pill, his cultivation level will indeed improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. However, in the long run, your approach will
, but it is like pulling out a seedling and encouraging it to grow, causing hundreds of harms and no benefit.”
Zhu Hongtao's expression changed, he quickly put away the Beast Element Golden Pill, bowed and said: "Master, don't scare me, it's so serious?"
The old man Xuanji nodded and said: "Your little junior brother is a natural genius, and his future achievements are far beyond what the few of you can match. Naturally, you cannot train him in the same way as ordinary warriors. If you really want to give him a gift,
From now on, I will take more care of him to prevent anyone from doing harm to him secretly."
Zhu Hongtao patted his chest and said in a thunderous voice: "Since Master said so, then I am willing to be my junior brother's spiritual protector and protect my junior brother for thirty years. Who dares to do anything bad to my junior brother?
Zhu will definitely teach him how to be a good person."
Lingshu Half Saint raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Second Senior Brother, I have been guarding the Tao for thirty years, how dare you say such nonsense?"
"Who said I was just talking nonsense? I am very serious," Zhu Hongtao said.
When the heirs of a saint's family are training outside, they are almost always protected by guardians in secret.
Generally speaking, the guardians hide in the dark and will not take action easily. Only when the heir encounters real life danger, the guardians will show up to save people.
Of course, in order to hone the heir and develop the ability to solve problems independently, the guardian will not be by his side anytime and anywhere.
Therefore, even if there are guardians secretly protecting them, many heirs of the saint family will still die unexpectedly.
Zhu Hongtao has cultivated the Saint Source, so his cultivation will reach the realm of a Saint.
What's more, he is still an ancient relic, so his own strength is naturally more powerful.
Such a strong man is willing to protect Zhang Ruochen for thirty years. So, even if the black market and the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect want to kill Zhang Ruochen in the cradle, they will probably have to send several saints to attack at the same time to have a chance of success.
Zhang Ruochen said quickly: "Thank you, second senior brother."
"You don't have to be so polite. It's a serious matter to protect you. From now on, Master won't say that I am idle every time." Zhu Hongtao smiled strangely, whispered to Zhang Ruochen, and said: "Back to
In the Eastern Region, Second Senior Brother will take you to several good places so that you can also see the world."
Zhang Ruochen smiled, knowing that the good place mentioned by the second senior brother may not be a real good place.
However, it doesn't matter, it is also a good thing to be able to see the world.
Since the second senior brother agreed to be Zhang Ruochen's protector and gave Zhang Ruochen such a big gift, the third senior brother Wan Ke took out the Meteor Invisibility Cloak no matter how reluctant he was.
Wan Keyong stood up, holding the Meteor Invisibility Cloak in both hands, pursed his lips, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.
In the end, he explained the use of the Meteor Invisibility Cloak to Zhang Ruochen, and then handed it over.
"Thank you, Third Senior Brother."
"No need to be polite, they are all brothers..." Wan Ke kept sighing in his heart and began to worry about what more precious gift he should give his junior brother when he gets married.
Zhang Ruochen knew that this treasure was very precious, but he did not refuse it. If he continued to refuse it, it would be pretentious.
It is also a face-to-face gift, some things can be accepted and some things cannot be accepted.
"Da da!"
Outside Qinghe Hall, a heavy footsteps sounded, like iron hitting the ground.
A moment later, a tall man walked in from the door.
This man had a muscular appearance, dark skin, and was wearing a pitch-black battle armor. His eyes revealed a strong fighting spirit, and his body exuded an icy murderous aura.
Zhang Ruochen looked over and saw that this person was alone. When he walked in from the outside, he gave people the feeling that thousands of troops were rushing towards him.
When ordinary warriors saw this person, they would probably have been frightened by the invisible aura on his body, causing them to retreat, tremble, become incontinent, or even faint.
"Disciple Qingxiao, pay homage to Master."
The man's iron fists hugged each other, lowered his head, and bowed respectfully to the old man Xuanji.
"It turns out that he is Senior Brother, Saint Qingxiao." Zhang Ruochen secretly thought.
Old man Xuanji nodded, raised a hand and said, "Qingxiao, there's no need to be polite."
Saint Qingxiao raised his head, still looking serious, and said in a deep voice: "Disciple has something extremely important and wants to discuss it with Master alone."
The word "alone" slightly emphasized the tone.
Second senior brother Zhu Hongtao glanced at Saint Qingxiao, a little dissatisfied, and shouted: "Senior brother, you don't regard us as your own brothers. If you have something to do, you can't tell us directly, and you are still guarding us."
Saint Qingxiao stared at him coldly and said: "This matter is of great importance. I am just afraid that you will talk too much and talk nonsense."
"Hey...it's my fault..."
Zhu Hongtao murmured in a low voice.
He seemed to be a little afraid of Saint Qingxiao, he did not dare to say any more and immediately lowered his head.
Then, Saint Qingxiao's eyes softened a bit, and he stared at Zhang Ruochen and said: "This is the junior brother, right? The senior brother doesn't have anything good in him, so I will give you a weapon refining tool."
Warrior, as a greeting gift."
Saint Qingxiao took out a fist-sized black iron ball from the armor scales under his arm and handed it to Zhang Ruochen.
The black iron ball, whose material it was unknown, actually weighed several thousand kilograms. Zhang Ruochen was so unprepared that when he just received it, his wrist suddenly dropped, almost breaking his hand bones.
However, Zhang Ruochen's reaction was very fast, and he mobilized the strength of his muscles and tendons in an instant to hold the iron ball firmly.
Saint Qingxiao and Old Man Xuanji left first and walked out of Qinghe Hall. It seemed that they really had important things to discuss.
In the Qinghe Hall, only Zhang Ruochen, Zhu Hongtao, Lingshu Half-Sage, and Wan Ke were left.
The atmosphere in the palace suddenly seemed a little depressing.
Wanke laughed and said: "Senior Brother is such a person. He has always been cold and cold, but he is still very good to us Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters."
"The weapon-refining warrior he gave you is a very practical thing. Do you want Third Senior Brother to teach you how to use it?"
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "No need. Although this is my first time getting a weapon-refining warrior, I know a little bit about how to use it."
Zhang Ruochen held the diamond iron ball in the palm of his hand, mobilized his true energy, injected it into it, and activated the inscriptions in the iron ball.
"Wow!"
The upper and lower parts of the diamond iron ball rotated relative to each other. A narrow gap was exposed in the center, and an iron bracket stretched out. It continued to stretch and expand, and soon turned into a three-meter-high body.
Iron Giant.
The steel giant stood in the temple, looking very majestic and full of power.
This is a weapon-refining warrior, a weapon refined by the Divine Engineering Department of the First Central Empire.
Generally speaking, only the Ministry of War can use weapon-refining warriors.
Of course, people like Zhang Ruochen who have connections in the Ministry of War also have the opportunity to obtain a weapon-refining warrior. As long as the number lost is not large, the top brass of the Ministry of War will not care too much about such a trivial matter.
There is a groove on the chest of the weapon-refining warrior, which is used to store the spiritual crystal and provide it with energy.
Of course, the spiritual energy contained in even top-level spiritual crystals is quite limited and is not enough to support a weapon-refining warrior to complete a battle.
Therefore, in the Ministry of War, holy stones are generally used to provide energy for weapon-refining warriors.
Although the holy stone is precious, it can still be purchased at a high price at Wu Shi Bank.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen plans to return to the Holy Academy to buy a few more holy stones to test the power of the weapon-refining warriors. The gift from the senior brother should not be too bad.
…
…………
Saint Qingxiao and Old Man Xuanji walked out of Qinghe Palace and immediately took off, passing through the vast void and landing on a meteorite more than thirty miles long.
Saint Qingxiao waved his sleeves, and a ball of holy energy surged out, forming a huge spherical light shield and wrapping the meteorite.
Seeing that Saint Qingxiao was so cautious, Old Xuanji said, "It seems that the evil weapon that emerged from the Xuanwu Ruins is quite extraordinary. I'm afraid it will involve a series of major events."
The Ministry of War dispatched three Soldier Saints to the Xuanwu Ruins Realm to collect the Pillar of Niehai.
Saint Qingxiao is one of them.
Saint Qingxiao nodded and said seriously: "No one expected that there would be such a thing in the Xuanwu Ruins world. According to my judgment, it has been soaked in the seabed for a hundred thousand years."
"They came to the Kunlun Realm one hundred thousand years ago, but we didn't even notice it. It's so scary!"
Old man Xuanji clasped his hands behind his back, shook his head, and said: "Maybe some people know, but it's just not written down in the history books. A hundred thousand years ago, many major events happened, maybe they were all related to this. Have you forgotten how it was in the Middle Ages?
Finish?"
Saint Qingxiao was silent for a long time, frowned tightly, and said: "However, I feel that the crisis is approaching step by step. No one knows when that day will come."
The old man Xuanji smiled and said: "Don't worry so much. Today's Kunlun world, under the governance of the Queen, has reached an unprecedented peak. Geniuses are emerging in large numbers, saints are rising together, martial arts are flourishing, and the holy way is prosperous."
"Furthermore, I heard that the Queen issued a secret order to select ten emperors. I am afraid that she wants to cultivate ten new emperors in the near future and recreate the prosperous age where the nine emperors coexisted eight hundred years ago."
