In the next three days, Zhang Ruochen deployed a large number of time stamps and space traps outside Wangshan. Not only did the defense increase several times, but it also became highly offensive.
Especially the space trap. If one steps into it, even the Nine-Step Saint King who rules the world will probably not be able to escape.
Next, let's wait for the prototype of the nine-level formation arranged by Zhenmiao Taoist. Once it is successfully arranged and combined with the space maze and time formation, Wangshan will truly become an iron wall, without fear of any powerful enemy.
In recent days, news of Zhang Ruochen's return to Yunwu County has spread throughout the Kunlun realm.
The news that Yuan Che and Venerable Zangxin, two nine-step saint kings, had died in Yunwu County touched the nerves of many monks. It not only shocked the outside world, but also pushed this remote place of Yunwu County to the forefront.
Zhang Ruochen received more than a dozen messenger light talismans, from Luo Shuihan, Holy Book Talent, Kong Lanyou, Murong Yefeng... and others, all of whom were acquaintances from the past.
Some asked him what happened; some asked him if he needed help; Kong Lanyou even asked Zhang Ruochen to go to Mingtang and meet her, so that she could help Zhang Ruochen solve the problem of Youshen Temple.
Zhang Ruochen used the messenger light talisman to reply to their messages, and at the same time he also learned that their situation was not good.
A large number of masters from the Heaven Realm and Hell Realm have descended on the Kunlun Realm. Among the major forces in the Kunlun Realm, who can survive alone?
Even the top strong men like Kong Lanyou, who fell from the realm of the Great Sage and returned to the Holy King, must now go all out to intimidate the strong men from all walks of life and preserve the Mingtang.
In the face of the general trend, all the major forces in Kunlun Realm appear to be quite fragile. It is already quite remarkable to be able to hold on to one area and not succumb to others.
However, while communicating with them, Zhang Ruochen finally got news about the divine stone.
Kong Lanyou told Zhang Ruochen that Mingtang had a total of eight sacred stones stored in it, and he could give four to him, while Mingtang had to spare the other four.
Because, there is an ancient sacred artifact in Mingtang, and it can only be activated by using the sacred stone.
In addition, refining some heavenly holy elixirs also requires the addition of divine stone powder.
Giving Zhang Ruochen four divine stones was already the limit.
Zhang Ruochen was overjoyed. As long as he got these four sacred stones, it might not be able to help him cultivate to the realm of the Seven-Step Saint King.
Zhang Ruochen burned another message light talisman and asked: "Mingtang is the top power in the Kunlun world, why does it only store eight sacred stones?"
Kong Lanyou quickly replied to Zhang Ruochen: "One hundred thousand years ago, the rules of heaven and earth in the Kunlun Realm became incomplete, resources gradually dried up, and the major mineral veins could no longer produce sacred stones."
"Today, the sacred stones stored by the major forces in Kunlun Realm are all left over from the Middle Ages. After a hundred thousand years of consumption, not much is left."
After seeing the news from Kong Lanyou, Zhang Ruochen finally understood why, as Luo Xu, he could only buy two.
It is estimated that there are not many sacred stones left in Wushi Bank.
Finally, Kong Lanyou told Zhang Ruochen that the Kunlun world has recovered, and those mineral veins left over from ancient times are likely to give birth to sacred stones again.
Immediately afterwards, Murong Yefeng also responded to Zhang Ruochen's message, saying that he could buy four sacred stones on the black market.
Ling Feiyu's reply was a little later, "If you want a sacred stone, come to Wuding Mountain to get it in person. I will give you all the sacred stones stored by the Moon Worshiping Sect."
Seeing this message light talisman, Zhang Ruochen smiled bitterly.
This Feiyu Sword Master is really as strong as ever.
Since Ling Feiyu asked Zhang Ruochen to go to Wudingshan in person and was willing to see him, it meant that the knot in her heart had probably been resolved.
Zhang Ruochen knew that he had hurt Ling Feiyu, but he actually wanted to go to Wuding Mountain to see her.
But now, Wang Shan's defensive formation has not been fully deployed, and the masters of Youshen Temple may come back at any time, so they must not leave hastily.
Now there is only one word left, wait.
As long as Kong Lanyou and Murong Yefeng's sacred stones are delivered, Zhang Ruochen's cultivation level will definitely reach a higher level.
In the following time, Zhang Ruochen took out the two-pole compass of heaven that he had taken from Venerable Zangxin, held it in the palm of his hand, and walked in King Mountain.
The so-called two poles of heaven refer to "good" and "bad".
Controlling the two poles of heaven's compass, to a certain extent, can actually lead to advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Of course, the compass is a dead thing after all, and it cannot completely turn evil into good. At least Zangxin Venerable did not predict in advance that he would be attacked by Zhang Ruochen.
The pursuit of profit has been verified in Zhang Ruochen's hands.
Whenever the holy medicine appears, the pointer on the compass will tremble slightly and emit a faint brilliance.
"Wangshan, since it is a place of awakening, can produce holy medicines and flow holy springs, I wonder if there are any mineral veins underground?"
Zhang Ruochen mobilized more holy energy to inject into the compass and explore the ground.
In the next few days, Zhang Ruochen completely explored the outer areas of Wangshan Mountain.
One vein was discovered, and it was a large vein. Unfortunately, it only contained spiritual crystals and holy stones, as well as a small amount of holy jade and rare metals.
"It seems that only the mines opened by ancient gods in special areas can contain sacred stones." Zhang Ruochen was a little disappointed and sighed.
There are no more than ten such mines in the entire Kunlun realm.
Most of the big worlds in the heavenly world do not have one, and they cannot contain divine stones at all.
In this merit war, the ancient mineral veins in Kunlun Realm will become the focus of competition. With Zhang Ruochen's current cultivation level, the chance of winning from the tiger's mouth is so low that it can be ignored.
Now, the monks in the entire Kunlun world can only watch helplessly as the resources in the mines are poached by other big worlds, but there is nothing they can do.
If you don't have enough strength, you can only be plundered.
Ji Fanxin's voice sounded in Zhang Ruochen's mind: "Zhang Ruochen, you can let me out. I have important matters to discuss with you."
"Wow——"
A speck of light flew out from between Zhang Ruochen's eyebrows, transforming into the beautiful figure of Givenchy.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "How is it? Ask the Jietian Shenmu for advice. How did you get it?"
"Listening to Senior Shenmu's teachings in nine days will yield greater rewards than nine hundred years of hard work."
After a pause, Ji Fanxin said again: "Senior Shenmu said that its true body is located in a secret place. If I find its true body, it will be of great help to me in condensing the immortal body. You should know where that secret place is.
To what extent?"
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said: "I know, I know, but I can't go for the time being."
"Why?" Ji Fanxin asked.
Zhang Ruochen said: "That place is too dangerous. I must at least break through to the realm of the Seven-Step Saint King before I can take you there."
Ji Fanxin frowned slightly and said: "Your cultivation level should have just broken through to the Six-Step Saint King not long ago. Even if this awakening place has many holy medicines, you can refine holy pills to improve your cultivation level.
It is estimated that it will take you several years to break through to the Seven-Step Saint King, I can't wait that long."
"Why don't you tell me the secret place and I'll go get it myself."
Zhang Ruochen smiled and shook his head.
Ji Fan thought: "I can give you three more sacred stones."
Zhang Ruochen still shook his head and said: "How can the value of the true body of the Heaven-Connecting Divine Tree be comparable to that of the Divine Stone? Even if I take the fairy to get the Heaven-Connecting Divine Wood, I can't give it all to you."
"If you don't mind, Fairy, just wait for a while at King Mountain. You don't have to wait for a few years. As long as the sacred stone is delivered, I will soon be able to break through to the realm of the Seven-Step Saint King."
In the forest, there were screams, which were quite miserable.
Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin turned into two streams of light and hurried over.
I saw a skinny old man with gray hair lying on the ground and wailing, "I beat someone to death. Oops, my hands are broken. Can you be kind to the old man... Oops... Is there anyone here to preside over it?"
justice……"
When Zhang Ruochen walked over, the old man was still screaming, but the group of female saints surrounding him were gnashing their teeth and quite angry.
Seeing the old man, black lines appeared on Zhang Ruochen's forehead.
If he wasn't the tomb robber who crawled out of the Zhang family cemetery, why is he still in Wangshan?
Zhang Ruochen asked a female saint, "What happened?"
The female saint named Lan Lian gritted her teeth and said: "This old guy, I don't know how he sneaked into Wangshan, broke into our training attic, and wanted to steal Junior Sister Xianyue's clothes. Fortunately,
Junior Sister Xianyue found out immediately and caught someone in action."
The black lines on Zhang Ruochen's forehead are deeper.
A shy female saint cursed in a low voice: "Pervert."
"This old pervert deserves to be beaten to death."
"Whoever hit him, he fell down before he could take action, and he screamed miserably, as if he was being bullied."
…
Zhang Ruochen was really angry. He took out the Yi Huang Bone Staff, held it in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and walked towards the scrawny old man.
The old man noticed something was wrong, rolled his eyes and said, "Zhang Ruochen, what are you going to do?"
"What?"
Zhang Ruochen picked up the Yi Huang Bone Staff and waved it towards the old man.
The old man's reaction speed was extremely fast, like a civet cat, he jumped up like lightning and avoided Zhang Ruochen's stick.
With Zhang Ruochen's current level of cultivation, his attack speed is so fast. How can ordinary monks avoid it so easily?
So weird!
From a distance, Ji Fanxin stared at the old man, with a strange look in his apricot eyes, and said: "It's a bit interesting."
While avoiding Zhang Ruochen's bone staff, the old man said: "Zhang Ruochen, I did this all for you. You must not recognize a good heart."
"For me? We are not related, and you do it for me? For me, you steal women's clothes. Can you be more perverted?" Zhang Ruochen has never seen such a shameless person.
"It's unfair! I'm already so old, but I still suffer such shame and humiliation. I really don't want to live anymore! In fact, I just wanted to put some medicine on their clothes and never thought of stealing them. Am I that insignificant?
"
Zhang Ruochen was startled for a moment, then became even more angry: "You actually want to drug me. It seems that I underestimated you before."
This old guy is simply a scourge in Wangshan and must be eliminated.
While talking, Zhang Ruochen and the old man had exchanged more than a hundred moves. The old man seemed to be hiding in a panic, rolling and crawling, and screaming. But in fact, Zhang Ruochen used all his strength to swing the Yi Huang Bone Staff, and even his
