Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment and then asked: "Lin Chenyu was executed?"
"No! How could His Highness the Seventh Prince let him go so easily?" Yun'er said: "Lin Chenyu was sentenced to castration and turned into a eunuch, and was taken in as a slave by His Highness the Seventh Prince."
Zhang Ruochen said: "The number one genius of the Lin family has become a eunuch and a slave of the enemy. For the Lin family, it is simply a huge shame."
Yun'er frowned and said, "But I really can't understand why the head of the Lin family wants to marry his daughter to the seventh prince since the Lin family has suffered so much humiliation?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "It's easy to understand! With the seventh prince's talent, he will definitely inherit the throne and become the head of Yunwu County in the future. If the Lin family wants to gain a foothold in Yunwu County, they must repair their relationship with the seventh prince. Marriage is the best option
Good idea."
"Secondly, since the number one genius of the Lin family has become the slave of the seventh prince, the relationship between the Lin family and the seventh prince is probably not as hostile as we thought. Maybe the marriage between Lin Nianshan and the seventh prince is the number one genius of the Lin family.
Chenyu single-handedly facilitated this."
Yun'er's eyes were staring straight at Zhang Ruochen. She couldn't believe that His Highness the Ninth Prince was able to analyze so clearly and logically. He was not at all like the timid young man he once was. Instead, he gave people a sophisticated and wise feeling.
"It seems that after activating the mark of Shenwu, His Highness the Ninth Prince has really changed completely." Yun'er thought to herself, if Concubine Lin knew that His Highness the Ninth Prince had undergone such a big change, she would definitely be very pleased.
Returning to his room, Zhang Ruochen immediately entered the inner space of the space-time crystal.
"Start opening the second meridian now!"
Zhang Ruochen opened the cork of the small jade bottle and drank a portion of the marrow cleansing liquid.
Under the influence of the medicinal power of the marrow cleansing liquid, the blood all over the body seemed to be boiling. With the help of the huge medicinal power, Zhang Ruochen immediately started to open a second meridian according to the records in the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra".
The more meridians opened up in the body, the faster it absorbs spiritual energy, and the faster the true energy circulates in the body.
The more meridians in the body, the more powerful the martial body will be. In the same realm, it can explode with more powerful combat power.
With the help of his previous training experience, Zhang Ruochen quickly opened up a second meridian, doubling the speed of the true energy in his body.
"The Qi pool has not expanded, and it has not broken through to the middle stage of Huangji Realm. It seems that another meridian will be opened up."
Zhang Ruochen took a blood pill to regain his strength. After resting for about an hour to reach the best condition, he immediately took another marrow cleansing liquid and started to open the third meridian.
Other monks, after opening a new meridian, usually need to recuperate for one to three months to increase the toughness and activity of the meridian before continuing to open the next meridian.
However, Zhang Ruochen could not wait until a month later. He was about to open a third meridian and reach the middle stage of Huangji Realm.
In this way, the difficulty is more than doubled.
"I can definitely do it, I can definitely do it, and I will definitely hit the middle stage of Huangji Realm tonight."
Zhang Ruochen held a spiritual crystal in his hand. While absorbing the spiritual energy in the spiritual crystal, he mobilized all the energy in his body and suddenly struck towards the third meridian.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound between Zhang Ruochen's eyebrows.
The qi pool, which was originally only the size of a basketball, immediately expanded tenfold, reaching the size of a water tank, like a three-foot-square pool.
Now, Zhang Ruochen's qi pool can truly be called a qi pool.
This is the cultivation level in the middle stage of Huangji Realm!
"Right now, I can only be regarded as having just entered the middle stage of Huangji Realm, and the true energy in my body has not increased much. Of course, I now have room for improvement. If I cultivate the true energy in the qi pool to the full, the true energy in my body will be
Increased tenfold." Zhang Ruochen felt a sense of joy in his heart, and his martial arts cultivation had finally become much stronger.
Every time you advance to a higher level, the capacity of the qi pool will increase accordingly, and it will naturally be able to accommodate more true qi.
If you are unable to break through the realm, then even if you practice for ten years, the true energy in your body will not increase at all. Because your qi pool is only so big and can only hold so much true energy.
After breaking through to the middle stage of Huangji Realm, the impurities in the physical body are transported out of the pores, like a layer of black slime, emitting a faint fishy odor.
Zhang Ruochen immediately brought a bucket of hot water. After taking a bath, he put on a new piece of clothes and immediately returned to the inner space of the space-time crystal.
He held a pen in his hand, which was very smooth and turned into a human-shaped pattern on the paper roll.
Then, relying on the memory in his mind, he drew thirty-six meridians on the humanoid pattern, each with a different route.
There is only one thing in common: the thirty-six meridians all converge into the Qi pool between the eyebrows.
Zhang Ruochen flipped through the first layer of the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra" for the first time, and what he saw was such a "meridian diagram" without any written explanation, so he had to understand it completely by himself.
The more advanced the practice, the more meridians are opened up in the body, and the faster the true energy is transported.
"The low-level human-level exercises can only open up seven meridians."
"The "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra" records the running routes of thirty-six meridians. Every time a meridians are added, the martial body becomes stronger. If all thirty-six meridians are opened up, how will the martial body become?
powerful?"
The word "ji" in the Huangji realm represents the limit of the meridians.
Zhang Ruochen only cultivated thirty-three meridians in his previous life, and there were three more meridians that he couldn't open up no matter what!
With his martial body that opened up thirty-three meridians in his previous life, he had already defeated the invincible opponents of his generation. Even the most powerful Queen Chi Yao in the world today is a step behind him, having only opened thirty-one meridians.
"I have now opened three meridians, which belong to the middle stage of Huangji Realm. If I want to break through to the late Huangji Realm, I need to open up at least three more meridians."
Zhang Ruochen rolled up the meridian diagram and placed it on the stone platform.
If you want to reach the later stage of Huangji Realm, you must first cultivate the full amount of Qi in the Qi pool.
If you practice according to the rules, even with the help of spiritual energy from spiritual crystals, it will take you one and a half months to let the true energy fill your body and overflow the energy pool.
Zhang Ruochen couldn't wait that long, so he decided to take the "Qi Gathering Pill".
A Qi Gathering Pill is worth a thousand silver coins. For ordinary warriors, it is simply a rare treasure. Even young people from mid-level families find it difficult to obtain a Qi Gathering Pill.
Zhang Ruochen bought ten of them at once, intending to use them to quickly improve his cultivation.
The Qi Gathering Pill is only the size of a pearl, with a faint fragrance. With the naked eye, you can see wisps of spiritual energy flowing on the surface of the pill.
Zhang Ruochen swallowed the Qi Gathering Pill into his mouth.
After a while.
With a "boom" sound, the Qi Gathering Pill exploded in the body and turned into a ball of violent pill energy, jumping up and down in Zhang Ruochen's body.
The three meridians absorb the elixir energy at the fastest speed, and when it circulates in the body for a long time, the elixir energy is converted into true energy and stored in the qi pool.
Although Zhang Ruochen had tried his best to absorb the alchemy energy, 70% of the alchemy energy was still lost from his pores. He only absorbed 30% of the alchemy energy from a Qi Gathering Pill.
It took him a whole day to completely transform the 30% of the alchemy energy into his own true energy.
After refining 30% of the Dan Qi, the amount of Qi in the Qi pool has doubled.
"I have only opened three meridians, and the transformation speed of true energy is still too slow, and 70% of the elixir energy has been wasted. If a warrior at the lower level of the Huangji Realm takes the Qi Gathering Pill, he can
The elixir energy of the Qi Dan is completely converted into your own true energy, and no trace of it is wasted."
"No matter! As long as you can quickly improve your cultivation level, it's worth wasting any more silver coins. With the power of the Qi Gathering Pill, I can refine four more pills to fully cultivate the true energy in the Qi Pool."
Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen now has silver coins, so he doesn't have to worry about money. Otherwise, the Qi Gathering Pill worth a thousand silver coins would make him feel distressed every time he takes one.
He did not continue to take the second Qi Gathering Pill, stopped practicing, walked out of the inner space of the space-time crystal, and returned to the room.
He had been practicing in the space-time crystal for more than a day, and only half a day had passed outside.
At this moment, it is noon.
Zhang Ruochen brought a bucket of hot water and placed it in the room without disturbing Yun'er and Concubine Lin.
He didn't want to take a bath, but to take a medicinal bath.
Warriors not only need to cultivate Qi, but also temper their bodies.
Compared with his peers, Zhang Ruochen's body seems a bit weak. If he wants to make his body stronger within a few months, he must not only practice boxing, but also take medicinal baths.
Zhang Ruochen purchased a total of five copies of the Body Refining Powder, each worth one thousand silver coins.
Take out one of the body refining powders and put it into the wooden barrel.
The wooden barrel immediately made a "chichi" sound, and white smoke came out of the wooden barrel.
Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged in a wooden barrel, his head submerged in potion.
The potion was very hot, almost like boiling water, with bubbles popping out.
A sharp pain came from the surface of the skin, and then the pain penetrated into the flesh and blood. Finally, the pain entered the bone marrow and five internal organs.
There was burning pain all over his body. If it were any other warrior, he would definitely not be able to bear this pain and would jump out of the barrel.
Zhang Ruochen was like a rock, sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the barrel, without any change in expression, silently enduring the pain from his body.
Only by enduring hardship can one become a master.
