Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged in the inner space of the space-time crystal, took out a pound of spiritual meat from a jade vessel, and began to take it.
Spiritual flesh condenses the essence of spiritual energy and blood in the beast's body. For warriors, it has countless benefits: increasing strength, strengthening bones and flesh, slowing down aging, and prolonging life.
Generally speaking, a warrior in the middle stage of Xuanji Realm can break through to the late stage of Xuanji Realm within half a month by taking ten kilograms of spiritual meat and practicing diligently.
Zhang Ruochen's martial body is much stronger than other warriors in the middle stage of Xuanji Realm. If he wants to break through to the late stage of Xuanji Realm, he must take at least forty kilograms of spiritual meat.
"Forty-eight pounds of spiritual flesh is enough for me to cultivate to the late stage of Xuanji Realm in a short period of time."
The forty-eight kilograms of spiritual flesh were all collected from the dead warriors from the Sifang Commandery during the first round of the Academy Examination.
If such a large amount of spiritual flesh were sold, it would fetch at least 200,000 silver coins, which would definitely be a huge fortune.
Spiritual meat is very precious, and ordinary warriors are reluctant to take it. Zhang Ruochen didn't care at all, and quickly drank a pound of spiritual meat.
After taking the spiritual meat, Zhang Ruochen felt that his whole body was full of strength, and both the blood flow rate and the speed of the true energy were accelerated a lot.
Zhang Ruochen stood up and began to practice the fourth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm. While practicing the palms, he was also accelerating the absorption of the essence of the spirit and flesh into the body and transformed it into his own power.
The fourth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm is called "Dragon Image Shadow".
Zhang Ruochen stepped in front of him, his body slightly bent, and his hands seemed to be squeezed into palm prints or claw prints.
"Bang bang!"
The palms kept punching out at extremely fast speeds, with palm prints appearing in all directions.
He has only cultivated three palms now. Brutal beasts gallop on the ground, flying dragons fly in the sky, and dragons and elephants return to the fields. They are only as powerful as high-grade human-level martial arts. Of course, they are definitely at the top among high-grade human-level martial arts, and can even compete with
Competing with some weaker spiritual-level low-grade martial arts.
However, only by successfully practicing the fourth palm can the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm transform and become a true low-grade spiritual martial art. By then, the power of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm will definitely be comparable to some weaker mid-grade spiritual martial arts.
.
Time passed very quickly, and Zhang Ruochen practiced continuously in the space-time crystal for half a month.
Every day, he spends most of his time practicing Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm. After half a month of hard training, he can already perform the fourth palm "Dragon Image Shadow" very smoothly.
With one palm strike, true energy surged.
From the palm prints, a sound like a dragon's roar came out.
However, there is still a big gap between the completion of the fourth palm "Dragon Image Shadow".
If he can practice to a great extent, once he punches out the palm seal, Zhang Ruochen's body can turn into two shadows, one shadow shoots out the dragon claws, and the other shadow shoots out the elephant palm, and the power of the burst will be doubled immediately.
Although the fourth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm has not yet been cultivated to great perfection, the cultivation level has improved a lot.
For half a month, Zhang Ruochen took one kilogram of spiritual meat every day, taking a total of fifteen kilograms of spiritual meat, and his martial arts realm improved rapidly.
Half a month ago, Zhang Ruochen had just entered the middle stage of the Xuanji Realm, and his true energy reserves were only 20% of the capacity of the qi lake. Now, the jade pure true qi in his qi lake has become thicker, and his true qi reserves have reached 70% of the capacity of the qi lake.
Success, it is not far away from the perfection of Zhenqi in the middle stage of Xuanji Realm.
With his current cultivation level, he can easily defeat Nie Xuan.
Of course, only five days have passed in the outside world during the half month in the space-time crystal.
Zhang Ruochen walked out of the inner space of the space-time crystal and returned to the room with yellow characters No. 1.
"Meow!"
Xiao Hei is like a ball of black fur, sitting on a copper chair, holding a yellowed book in his two cat paws, and is reading intently.
On the cover of the book, there are seven words written "Medieval History of Kunlun Realm".
Seeing Zhang Ruochen walking out of the space-time crystal, Xiao Hei closed the book in his hand. His cat eyes were as bright as stars and asked: "Young man, have you broken through to the late stage of the Xuanji Realm?"
"It's not that fast. It will probably take some time!" Zhang Ruochen stared at Xiao Hei curiously and asked, "Where did you steal the books from?"
"steal?"
Xiao Hei looked unhappy and said: "I just went to the Scripture Tower of Wushi Academy and took out a book from it. After reading it, I will change it back. How can it be considered stealing?
?”
Zhang Ruochen was too lazy to argue with it and said, "How is Fourth Brother's recovery from his injury?"
"That damn fat man's cultivation level is ordinary, but his recovery speed is very fast. He can already lift his arms. He will definitely be healed in ten days at most." Xiao Hei said.
Zhang Ruochen asked again: "Where is he now?"
"Let's go!" said the little gangster.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Left? Why did he leave?"
"He heard that this was the Dragon Martial Palace, so he crawled out and ran away." Xiao Hei said.
For the male warriors in the West Courtyard, Longwu Hall is definitely a forbidden area, with many terrifying legends. When Zhang Shaochu heard that he was in Longwu Hall, his face turned green with fear and he immediately ran away.
Zhang Ruochen dared to stay in Longwu Palace, but Zhang Shaochu did not.
"Let him be!"
Zhang Ruochen plans to continue practicing in seclusion and strive to reach the late stage of Xuanji Realm as soon as possible.
Next, Zhang Ruochen practiced in the inner space of the space-time crystal for another half month, still taking a pound of spiritual meat every day, spending most of the day practicing the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, and a small amount of time practicing the Tianxin Sword Technique.
His cultivation steadily improved, and finally, the true energy in Zhang Ruochen's Qi Lake reached the perfection state, and he could begin to attack the late stage of Xuanji state.
However, Zhang Ruochen is not in a hurry to hit the realm, and plans to continue taking spiritual meat to make his accumulation stronger. When the time comes, he will be able to break through the realm in one fell swoop.
After two retreats, Zhang Ruochen had been practicing in the inner space of the space-time crystal for a month, and ten days had passed in the outside world.
There are still twenty days before the duel with Feng Zhilin.
"The fourth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm has never been able to break through. It seems that it is always lacking some fire. Only by fighting with a master can you find out what is missing?"
Zhang Ruochen stopped practicing in seclusion and planned to find Xiao Hei and fight with him to find out the reason why he could not practice the fourth palm.
Just after walking out of the inner space of the space-time crystal, Zhang Ruochen heard Huang Yanchen's cold voice coming from outside the door: "Fat cat, if you don't get out of here, I'll kill you too!"
Xiao Hei stood outside the door, his tail raised high, and he said in an old-fashioned way: "Zhang Ruochen is practicing in seclusion. Even if you break in, you won't be able to see him. Little girl, I advise you to retreat quickly. If I
If the emperor is angry, no one in heaven or on earth can save you."
"Really? Then I'll give you a try!"
After Huang Yanchen recovered from his injuries, he immediately came to Zhang Ruochen to settle the score. He was already very angry. However, when he came to the door of Zhang Ruochen's room, he was stopped by a fat cat who could talk.
The anger in her heart became even greater, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the fat cat was as bad as Zhang Ruochen, so she held the hilt of the sword in her hand, pulled out a sapphire blue ancient sword, and struck Xiao Hei with one sword.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Hei was very fast, turned into a black shadow, dodged Huang Yanchen's sword, and rushed towards her.
Huang Yanchen's face was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Hei to be so fast. Being able to dodge her sword was at least as fast as a second-level medium beast.
However, Xiao Hei's speed is still too slow for her.
She sneered, slapped a palm, and knocked Xiao Hei away more than ten feet. Xiao Hei's body hit the wall, making him dizzy, and fell straight to the ground.
"You bitch, you...you are too cruel!"
Xiao Hei got up from the ground, with sharp teeth exposed in his mouth. He was very angry. If he couldn't defeat Huang Yanchen, he would definitely give her a lesson.
Huang Yanchen was so angry that his teeth were itching. This time the fat cat was too ungrateful. If he caught it, he would cut off its tongue first.
Zhang Ruochen opened the door and walked out, glanced at Huang Yanchen, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Huang, your injury has healed?"
Seeing Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yanchen's eyes became even colder. He didn't want to say another word to Zhang Ruochen and stabbed him directly with his sword.
You must know that Huang Yanchen is a Xuanbang warrior and can compete with the top masters in the extreme realm.
The sword she thrust out was enough to instantly kill an average Dzogchen warrior in the Xuanji Realm.
Zhang Ruochen's face changed slightly as he looked at the sword that was stabbing at him rapidly. He thought to himself that Duanmu Xingling was right. Huang Yanchen hated him to the core and would not listen to his explanation at all.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at Duanmu Xingling not far away, and Duanmu Xingling nodded understandingly.
"Whoosh!"
Duanmu Xingling transformed into a small and beautiful afterimage, rushed in front of Zhang Ruochen, and stopped Huang Yanchen.
Duanmu Xingling used two snow-green jade fingers to clamp the tip of Huang Yanchen's sword and said: "Sister Chen, you have to calm down. Zhang Ruochen is the number one among the freshmen. If you kill him, you will definitely be taken seriously by the academy."
Punishment.”
Huang Yanchen said: "Xingling, get out of the way. Today, I must kill this thief!"
Huang Yanchen twisted his five fingers and turned the sword's edge, emitting a rotating sword energy that shook Duanmu Xingling's two fingers apart.
Immediately, Huang Yanchen slashed with his sword again, dragging out a four-meter-long white sword energy.
Duanmu Xingling and Zhang Ruochen had already reached a secret agreement, so it was naturally impossible for Huang Yanchen to actually kill Zhang Ruochen.
Therefore, Duanmu Xingling also drew out a sword and blocked Huang Yanchen's attack again.
"Star Spirit, do you have to stop me from killing him?"
Huang Yanchen stabbed out nine swords in a row, and nine sword shadows appeared in the air at the same time, stabbing Zhang Ruochen's nine vital points.
Huang Yanchen's Qi is somewhat special, and it actually has the attribute of wind. Once she stabs with her sword, a seven-meter-diameter storm vortex will automatically form around her, and wind blades will fly out from the vortex.
"call out!"
One of the wind blades flew past Zhang Ruochen's armpit and struck the pillar, leaving a two-inch deep sword mark on the pillar.
"What she created should be the Swift Wind Divine Martial Seal, so the Qi she cultivated will have the wind attribute."
Zhang Ruochen stood on the stairs, looking at Huang Yanchen and Duanmu Xingling who were fighting swords below, carefully observing the swordsmanship moves they used, and at the same time pondering the flaws and weaknesses in their moves.
