In other words, when the mental strength reaches the forty-fourth level, Zhang Ruochen can use any first-level mental power spell of the thunder and lightning system at will.
Of course, it is not that easy for him to cast a second-level spiritual power spell. He must spend several days studying it before he can successfully practice it.
As for third-level spells and fourth-level spells, it takes more time to study.
Even if he has not yet practiced powerful advanced spells, with his current strength, he is actually enough to compete with the weaker Eighth Transformation Fish-Dragon monk.
Moreover, his mental strength has only just reached the forty-fourth level.
As the intensity of mental power continues to increase, the strength will also continue to increase. In the future, it will not be difficult to fight against the ninth transformation of a group of fish and dragons by oneself.
If you can increase your spiritual power by one more level, reaching level 45, you will immediately be promoted to a semi-saint of spiritual power.
There is only one step difference from the forty-fourth to the forty-fifth level, but the span is beyond what ordinary people can imagine. One is on the ground and the other is in the sky.
Zhang Ruochen spent another six days masterfully controlling the newly added martial arts cultivation and spiritual power, consolidating his realm.
"It's almost time. Let's go to the county town of Qingyun County to trade the holy stones."
Zhang Ruochen stood up, flicked the dust off his shoulders, left the picture scroll world, and returned to the barren mountains outside Liyuan City.
There are a total of 12,000 miles from Yuancheng to Qingyun County. Even if an ordinary person walks a hundred miles a day, it would take four months to reach it.
However, Zhang Ruochen is a master of spiritual power, and his speed on the road is naturally much faster than ordinary people.
"Thunder Running Technique."
Zhang Ruochen mobilized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transformed it into the power of thunder and lightning. Rays of lightning condensed around his body and completely enveloped his body.
There was a thunderous "boom" in the field, and Zhang Ruochen seemed to turn into a bolt of lightning, rushing into the clouds and flying out into the sky.
The lightning-running technique is just a first-level lightning spell, and it is not very clever.
Who knows that Zhang Ruochen has a strong mental power? Even if it is only a first-level spell, he can exert powerful power and increase his speed to a very terrifying level.
At dusk, Zhang Ruochen finally arrived outside Qingyun County, rushed out of the clouds, and landed on the ground.
"Chichi!"
The electric light on his body gradually dissipated.
"No wonder the spiritual power master is more powerful than the warrior. The warrior must reach the semi-saint realm before he can fly off the ground. However, the spiritual power master can easily fly into the sky and escape from the earth by casting a spell." Zhang Ruochen sighed.
Zhang Ruochen didn't know that it was because of his strong mental power that he could continuously cast spells and fly thousands of miles.
If it were a spiritual power master with only forty levels of spiritual power, he would probably have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.
Navy blue walls, a hundred-foot-wide moat, a towering altar, a formation tower that reaches into the sky... Qingyun County City is many times larger than Liyuan City, giving people a sense of heaviness and a sense of ancient vicissitudes.
Feel.
An ancient city.
In the eyes of evil warriors, everything is based on profit. Whoever has a strong fist is the truth. They are like a piece of loose sand, they do not know how to govern the world, nor do they know how to educate the people.
In short, it is indeed incredible to see such an orderly ancient city in this chaotic land.
After entering the county town, Zhang Ruochen did not go to Wuwang Inn immediately. Instead, he first went to a car dealership and bought an ancient beast car.
The savage beast pulling the cart is a third-level low-level savage beast, the Unicorn Flame Tiger, with a majestic body and infinite strength.
Why buy a car to drive?
The carriage is used to transport the spiritual crystals for purchasing the Holy Stone.
Duanmuya said that she could mobilize three holy stones at the transaction price of 11 million spiritual crystals for one holy stone. To purchase three holy stones, Zhang Ruochen must prepare 33 million spiritual crystals.
Since Zhang Ruochen already knew that Mu Lingxi and Duanmuya were together, he naturally could not use the space ring. He could only store the spiritual crystal on the bicycle frame first, and then trade the holy stone.
Zhang Ruochen trusted Mu Lingxi, but he came to the evil land of the Eastern Region to kill the young master of the black market First Grade Hall.
The whole operation was quite dangerous, and he didn't want Mu Lingxi to get involved.
Therefore, now, Mu Lingxi cannot be allowed to know his true identity.
Even if he wanted to tell her, he would have to wait until he killed Di Yi.
Arriving at a street not far from Wuwang Inn, Zhang Ruochen stopped for a moment, released his mental power, and explored the surrounding environment.
In any case, Duanmuya is a member of the Demon Cult after all, so it would be reasonable if she really ambushed Zhang Ruochen. Of course, Zhang Ruochen must be more careful. If Duanmuya wants to seek wealth or death, he can respond in time.
There was no ambush set up around Wuwang Inn.
"The Moon Worshiping Demon Cult is indeed more principled in its work than the black market."
Zhang Ruochen smiled, put away his mental energy, and drove his bicycle to the outside of Wuwang Inn.
Duanmuya stood on the fourth floor of the tower and saw Zhang Ruochen's bicycle frame from a distance, so she immediately sent someone to connect Zhang Ruochen to Wuwang Inn.
The carriage drove into Wuwang Inn and went directly to the backyard.
At this time, night fell and the sky became dark.
Colorful lanterns rose up in Wuwang Inn, illuminating the night with colorful colors and making it very hazy, giving people an unreal feeling.
Duanmuya wore a white lace dress and stood under the lantern. When she saw the approaching carriage, she smiled from a distance and said: "Master Zhang, you are so brave. People from the Blood Cloud Sect are looking for you everywhere.
, you actually dare to come to the county town with such arrogance."
The beast's ancient chariot stopped.
Zhang Ruochen stepped on the shaft of the cart, fell to the ground, and said, "Madam boss, where is the holy stone?"
"Is it possible that in your eyes, the Nu family is not as charming as the Holy Stone?"
Duanmuya walked towards Zhang Ruochen, her tall peaks trembling slightly, and every curve of her body seemed to exude a human aura.
Zhang Ruochen only felt a faint scent of fragrance coming over him, so he couldn't help but take a step back.
Duanmuya showed a resentful look and said: "Why is Mr. Zhang so confused? In Liyuan City, you killed Fang Jie and Cao Ying. The Nu family is very grateful and has always wanted to express their gratitude. Why do you still hide?"
Nujia? What you did is very sad."
Zhang Ruochen said: "If the boss lady is really grateful, I will give you three holy stones."
"The holy stone is too precious, and the slave family cannot be the master. Otherwise... the slave family will give themselves to Mr. Zhang?"
Duanmuya walked up to Zhang Ruochen and observed Zhang Ruochen's eyes and figure closely. She thought to herself that this person's figure was really similar to Zhang Ruochen.
Could it be that he is Zhang Ruochen as Ling Xi said?
"Whoosh!"
Duanmuya quickly took action, wanting to remove the metal mask from Zhang Ruochen's face.
At this moment, Duanmuya and Zhang Ruochen were only two steps apart. With the speed of a monk in the Sixth Transformation of Fish-Dragon, her hand could cross the two-step distance in an instant.
By striking unexpectedly, no matter how high the opponent's cultivation level is, she is still sure to take off his mask.
Duanmuya's fingers were about to touch Zhang Ruochen's neck. Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen quickly stepped back, moved a little, and landed on the top of the ancient beast's car.
Zhang Ruochen stared at Duanmuya condescendingly and said coldly: "Madam boss, what do you mean?"
Duanmuya chuckled and said: "Mr. Zhang, please don't misunderstand me. The Nu family just wants to see what the spiritual master who killed Fang Jie and Cao Ying looks like?"
Zhang Ruochen glanced in one direction in the darkness and discovered Mu Lingxi's aura.
"Are they already doubting my identity?" Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.
Zhang Ruochen rolled his eyes and decided to complete the transaction quickly and leave immediately to avoid any mishaps.
So, he deliberately looked angry and said in a deep voice: "I will pretend that what happened just now has never happened. Boss lady, shall we start trading now?"
Zhang Ruochen jumped down and took out a two-meter-high copper and iron box from the ancient beast car.
There is a huge red spiritual crystal in the box, which is as tall as a man. It is like a magnificent divine stone from the sky, emitting blazing flames.
As the iron box is opened, the temperature of the surrounding air rises sharply.
Zhang Ruochen said: "This top-grade fire attribute spiritual stone weighs one hundred and five thousand kilograms, which is enough to be divided into eight thousand top-grade spiritual crystals. Boss lady, what do you think of its quality?"
Duanmuya carefully observed the spiritual crystal in the iron box, nodded in admiration, and said: "The spiritual crystal contains rich dragon energy. If I guessed correctly, it should have been dug out from the body of a certain dragon king."
Yes, that piece of top-level spiritual crystal was indeed dug out from the body of King Wu Skeleton.
Duanmuya folded his hands in front of his chest and said with a charming smile: "Eight thousand top-level spiritual crystals are equivalent to eight million ordinary spiritual crystals, which is still far from the 33 million spiritual crystals."
Zhang Ruochen just smiled and took out another box from the ancient beast car.
Inside the box, there is a dragon tendon.
"The Jiao King's tendons are worth almost three million ordinary spiritual crystals. The Jiao King's tendons and top-level spiritual crystals are worth almost eleven million spiritual crystals, which can be exchanged for a holy stone."
"Mr. Zhang, if you have other treasures, you'd better take them all out at once." Duanmuya said with a smile.
"No more, that's all."
Zhang Ruochen added: "If the boss lady can trust me, I can bring you a complete skeleton of the Jiao King tomorrow."
Originally, Zhang Ruochen planned to send the skeleton of King Wu Skeleton to Wuwang Inn. However, the skeleton of King Wu was too huge. It was more than a hundred meters long and heavier than a small mountain. The one-horned flame tiger could not even lift it.
Do not move.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen could only bring spiritual crystals and dragon tendons first.
Duanmuya thought for a moment before saying, "If you take off your mask and let me see your face, I will believe you. Moreover, I will immediately put the three holy stones into your hands."
At this moment, Mu Lingxi walked out of the darkness holding three holy stones and stood next to Duanmuya.
However, Mu Lingxi's watery eyes were fixed on Zhang Ruochen from the beginning to the end without even blinking.
"Hide it, how long are you going to hide it? Don't you even believe me?"
Looking closely at the man wearing a metal mask opposite him, Mu Lingxi was even more certain that he was Zhang Ruochen.
If Duanmuya hadn't told her in advance to stay calm, she might have rushed towards Zhang Ruochen, wanting to take off his mask with her own hands, and then question him face to face.
