Zhang Ruochen was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Did he tell you where to put the Half-Saint Holy Intent?"
The slave girl shook her head.
In Mu Qing's eyes, she was just a slave. How could he possibly tell her the location where the Semi-Saint's Holy Intent was stored?
Suddenly, she added: "Mu Qing's life is very regular. He is either staying on the Red Spider giant ship or at his mansion in the black market. The Half-Saint Holy Intent can only be placed in these two places."
The Half-Saint Holy Intention is indeed quite precious. It can not only help Zhang Ruochen cultivate his spiritual power, but also help Zhang Ruochen understand the Half-Saint Martial Arts.
You must know that in the last life, Zhang Ruochen only cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, and was still far away from the semi-saint realm.
Zhang Ruochen asked all the slave girls to wait in the middle level of the ship's cabin.
He went alone to the lower level of the ship's warehouse to look for the Half-Saint Holy Intent.
There are many secret rooms built on the lower floor of the ship's warehouse. Each secret room is decorated with formation inscriptions. For ordinary warriors to break in, it can be said to be a dead end.
Those formation inscriptions couldn't stop Zhang Ruochen. As long as he used "Space Crack", he could easily tear apart the formation and break into those secret rooms.
The secret room on the lower floor of the ship warehouse stores a huge amount of wealth. There are more than 80,000 spiritual crystals alone, as well as a large number of real martial arts treasures, elixirs, martial arts secrets, and precious commodities. The total of all cultivation resources is definitely more than one
One hundred and fifty million silver coins.
Moreover, the value of the red spider giant ship itself has not been added.
This is a huge fortune, which is estimated to be all the resources and wealth of the Poisonous Spider Chamber of Commerce on the southern border of Sifang County.
If the Poisonous Spider Chamber of Commerce knew that this fortune fell into Zhang Ruochen's hands, they would definitely be driven crazy with anger.
Zhang Ruochen said: "The news should spread out soon. The Poisonous Spider Merchant Guild will definitely send a large number of experts to deal with me if they know that this red spider giant ship has fallen into my hands."
Zhang Ruochen searched all over the Red Spider Giant Ship but could not find the Half-Saint Holy Intent.
"It seems that the Semi-Saint Holy Intent can only be placed in Mu Qing's mansion on the black market."
Zhang Ruochen did not touch the training resources in the Red Spider Giant Ship. He walked out from the lower level of the ship's warehouse, drove the Red Spider Giant Ship, flew to the sky above Lin'an County, escorted the twenty-four slave girls into the county, and found
Garrison in the county.
There are only 3,000 troops stationed in Lin'an County.
When the general guarding the city heard that the Ninth Prince was coming, he immediately rushed to greet him without any hesitation.
"It turns out that the mysterious young man who fought with Duke Hua in the city was the Ninth Prince. Oh my God! The Ninth Prince's martial arts cultivation has actually reached such a level."
That general had previously visited the stronghold of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, saw the corpses of Mr. Hua Ming and Young Master Poison Spider, and inquired about the identities of the two corpses from the captured evil warrior.
In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, warriors like Hua Minggong in the Heavenly Realm are like mythical figures.
The general was frightened when he learned that Young Master Poisonous Spider and Duke Hua Ming had died in Lin'an County. Just as he was about to send someone to report to the court, he heard the news of the arrival of the Ninth Prince, so he immediately rushed to greet them.
Knowing the purpose of the Ninth Prince's visit, the general immediately dispatched a thousand sergeants to escort the twenty-four slave girls to the royal city with the Ninth Prince's handwritten letter.
After placing the slave girls, Zhang Ruochen headed outside the city.
When he walked to the city gate, Zhang Ruochen saw a small, familiar figure.
It was a little girl of three or four years old, with messy hair, cute appearance, and sallow complexion. She was exactly the little girl he saw when he first entered Lin'an County.
She stood in the snow, her little face and hands were red from the cold, blinking her eyes, staring at Zhang Ruochen in the distance.
The robe that Zhang Ruochen had given her earlier had gone to someone unknown. She was still wearing thin, shabby cloth, and even had a pair of bare feet, not even shoes.
Zhang Ruochen was a little curious, so he walked over and said, "Why are you here? Where are the clothes I gave you earlier? And the blood pill I gave you?"
The little girl opened her round eyes wide, gently pulled the corner of her clothes with her fingers, and whispered: "I...I gave it to someone else!"
"Why are you so stupid? Putting on those clothes can protect you from the severe cold. Taking those blood pills will keep you from starving all winter. Why do you want to give them to others?" Zhang Ruochen said.
The little girl's eyes were still firm, and she said without regret at all: "I gave it to them, and they helped me bury my mother."
Zhang Ruochen suddenly understood and stopped talking. He looked carefully at this little girl who was only three or four years old and said, "Where is your mother buried? Take me to see it."
The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded, and walked in the snow with her red feet bare, as if she didn't know the cold at all, or maybe her body had already been numb from the cold.
With every step he took, even his knees sank into the snow, leaving a series of small footprints.
Zhang Ruochen walked behind, looking at her thin body, feeling a little surprised.
In such cruel weather, forced by hunger and cold, even adults with strong physiques would probably freeze to death long ago if they stayed in the ice and snow.
A little girl of only three or four years old, in such a cold winter, wearing only thin, shabby clothes and having no food, did not freeze to death? Didn't she starve to death?
"Stop!" Zhang Ruochen said.
The little girl stopped, turned her head, and stared blankly at Zhang Ruochen with a pair of big black and white eyes.
Walking in front of her, Zhang Ruochen pressed his fingers on her head, pinching her inch by inch, and then moved his fingers downward, first clasping her back and spine, and then pinching the joints of her legs and feet.
After a while, Zhang Ruochen took his hand back with a smile on his face, "It's incredible. There are one thousand and eight bones in the body. No wonder he didn't freeze to death or starve to death. He has a 'Thousand Bones Physique'."
A normal human has only 206 bones.
Of course, when humans are young, they have a few more bones, up to 218. That is because the bones have not yet formed during childhood.
Therefore, childhood is the best time to practice martial arts. Once you reach adulthood, your bones will be finalized, and even if you practice martial arts, you will not achieve high achievements.
A human being who can possess one thousand and eight bones at the same time is definitely considered a skeletal marvel and a martial arts prodigy. If he only misses a chance to practice martial arts, he will surely soar into the sky and transform into a butterfly in the future.
This is the innate physique that comes with living here!
Take Zhang Ruochen as an example. His physique in this life was extremely poor. Therefore, he was weak and sickly since he was a child. He did not activate the mark of divine martial arts until he was sixteen years old. He also died in bed due to the severe cold.
If Zhang Ruochen's soul from his previous life had not merged into this body eight hundred years later, he would never have had the chance to practice martial arts.
The reason why Zhang Ruochen has achieved his current achievements is entirely due to his cultivation of the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra" and the accumulation of a large amount of cultivation resources.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen purchased a large number of elixirs and practiced Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm just to strengthen his physique and make up for his innate deficiencies.
The little girl was different. She was born with amazing bones. Others only had 206 bones, but she had 1,008 bones. Even Zhang Tiangui was far inferior to her in terms of innate physique.
According to legend, dragons and phoenixes only have 999 bones, nine fewer than her.
Therefore, the so-called "dragon and phoenix among men" refers to the "thousand-bone constitution".
If those big sects and families discovered her, they would definitely protect her like a treasure.
In history, there was a great emperor with a thousand-bone physique who cultivated to the level of "Nine Ultimate Geniuses", which no one can surpass to this day.
When the little girl saw Zhang Ruochen squeezing her body, she immediately became nervous and remained motionless. At the same time, she became somewhat defensive towards Zhang Ruochen, fearing that she had met a bad person.
Zhang Ruochen stared at her and asked, "What's your name?"
"Hanxue." the little girl said.
Zhang Ruochen asked: "Why is it called Hanxue?"
The little girl murmured: "Because dad doesn't like cold snow... He said that once it snows, there will be no food. Not only will they starve to death, but they will also freeze to death."
"So, he doesn't like you either?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
"Girls can't join the army, so how can they practice martial arts? And girls are not as strong as boys, and they can't even farm and hunt. Naturally, my father hates me, despises me, hates me, and thinks I'm just
It’s as hateful as the cold wind and ice and snow in winter.”
She was silent for a moment, and then said: "But he froze to death in the ice and snow after all. After my mother and I buried him, we came to Lin'an County. We thought that we would not freeze to death when we arrived in the county, but...
"
Tears flowed from her eyes and she started crying again. After all, she was still just a little girl.
Han Xue took Zhang Ruochen to the place where her mother was buried. It was buried in the woods outside the city. It was just a small mound and looked very simple.
But she was already very satisfied. After all, with her own strength, she simply could not bury her mother.
"Whoosh!"
Zhang Ruochen found a three-meter-high boulder, patted the boulder with his palm, and slashed with his knife. The boulder split into two halves, and a smooth cut appeared in the middle.
Han Xue opened her mouth wide and stared at this scene in shock, feeling very incredible.
Zhang Ruochen raised his palm, and under the influence of his true energy, the boulder weighing a thousand kilograms flew to the front of the grave. He stretched out an index finger, gathered his true energy, and Zhang Ruochen quickly carved words on the boulder.
"My mother's grave, my daughter Hanxue."
Carve eight characters and it becomes a simple stone tablet.
Zhang Ruochen put his hands behind his back, stared at the stone tablet in front of him, and said, "Do you want to practice martial arts?"
Han Xue stood next to Zhang Ruochen, less than one meter tall, with very bright eyes, and said: "Think!"
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said: "In that case, then come with me! When you become successful in your cultivation, you can come and build a new tomb for your mother."
