Zhang Ruochen didnt show much emotional fluctuation, and calmly said: "Then congratulations to my cousin, from now on we can be considered as close relatives."
After saying this, Zhang Ruochen turned and left.
The first time they met, Zhang Ruochen didnt have a good impression of this beautiful and charming cousin. They didnt click at all, so he left with some disappointment.
When they saw Zhang Ruochen, there was no reaction at all. The young warriors of the Lin family were all greatly disappointed.
How did it end up like this?
Seeing Zhang Ruochens nonchalant expression, Lin Xianshan also felt a little lost. She stared at Zhang Ruochens back as he turned to leave and said somewhat reluctantly: "Dont you want to know the reason?"
Lin Xuanxiang is engaged to someone, Zhang Ruochen doesnt have the slightest interest, but since she insists on telling him, he naturally stops in his tracks and nods lightly: "Ill definitely attend your engagement ceremony to congratulate you. If theres nothing else, Ill go find my mother."
Just as he finished speaking, Zhang Ruochen saw Lin Fei walking out of the inner courtyard of the Lin Manor.
Lin Feis eyes were slightly red, obviously having just cried, although she had already wiped away her tears, but how could she hide it from Zhang Ruochen?
Zhang Ruochen immediately went up and anxiously asked, "Mother, whats wrong? Who bullied you?"
Lin Fei shook her head and said, "Nothings wrong, lets go back."
Looking at Lin Feis expression, how could nothing be wrong?
After seeing Lin Xianxian, Zhang Ruochen had no good feelings towards the Lin family.
Seeing Lin Feis current state, Zhang Ruochen had an even worse impression of the Lin family.
"Wait a minute"
Lin Fengxian walked out of the inner courtyard with his hands behind his back, gave Zhang Ruochen a faint glance, and took out a volume of ancient beast skin book from his sleeve. "This is a set of human-grade lower-level cultivation method, Taa Decree, which can open up seven meridians. Take it to cultivate. Although its not considered a profound cultivation method, at least it can complete the marrow washing and pulse clearing. For you, it should be enough."
Then, Lin Fengxian ordered someone to bring two more bottles of hair wash liquid and said coldly: "After all, you also have the blood of our Lin family on your body. Take these two bottles of hair wash liquid as well."
Lin Fei gazed deeply at Lin Fengxian, revealing a grateful look in her eyes. She immediately pulled Zhang Ruochens hand and said, "Ruochen, dont you thank your uncle yet?"
Zhang Ruochen looked at Lin Fengxians condescending expression and felt extremely displeased. No wonder his mother had red eyes, probably because she had suffered humiliation in front of him when asking for a volume of cultivation techniques earlier.
"We dont need the Lin familys charity, Mother, lets go"
Zhang Ruochen didnt even look at the cultivation method and marrow washing liquid that Lin Fengxian took out, and pulled Lin Fei to leave the Lin Mansion.
"Hes got a face but no shame, and he really thinks hes a prince." The young warriors of the Lin family all snorted in derision, their cold laughter unending.
Lin Xuans eyes were fixed on the young man who walked out of Lin Manor with determination, and she felt even more astonished in her heart. She always felt that her weak and timid cousin since childhood seemed to have changed somehow.
"He had activated the Divine Martial Mark, so he would naturally become more arrogant. However, he didnt know that activating the Divine Martial Mark at 16 was already past the golden age of martial cultivation. Whats the point of thinking about it, from now on we will be people from two different worlds."
Lin Xuan let out a sigh and returned to the martial arts arena, continuing her training.
After leaving the Lin Mansion, Lin Fei said: "Chen Er, youre too impulsive. As long as you can become a martial artist and use martial arts to strengthen your body, Mother will endure any hardship."
Zhang Ruochens body stood straight, turned around and stared at the golden plaque with "Lin Mansion" printed on it, saying in a sharp tone: "Mother, dont worry, even without the Lin familys charity, I can still become a warrior, and I will be a strong one among warriors."
Lin Fei let out a soft sigh, and stopped talking. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she said: "Dust, you already know that Jian Xiang and the Seventh Prince are about to get engaged, right? You mustnt be too heartbroken."
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "Mother, dont worry, there are many good girls in the world who are better than Lin Xiangru."
"If you can think so, mother will be at ease." Lin Fei smiled with relief.
Returning to Yunwu Wang Palace, Zhang Ruochen took the last Blood Pill and entered the inner space of the Time-Space Crystal Stone, once again beginning his cultivation of the Dragon Elephant Fist.
After exhausting himself, he sat down for a brief rest.
"My mother suffered humiliation at the Lin familys hands, and I will make them pay back double sooner or later. Three years ago, what exactly happened seems like something to ask Cloud Sister about when I get a chance, but for now my top priority is to quickly break through to the middle stage of the Yellow Extreme Boundary."
To break through the middle of Huang Jis border, you must take a brainwashing potion.
The price of a bottle of shampoo requires at least two hundred silver coins to buy.
Two hundred silver coins were not a small amount for Zhang Ruochen.
Moreover, he was cultivating the Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Scripture and wanted to break through the middle stage of the Yellow Extreme Realm. One vial of marrow washing liquid was clearly not enough.
"Got it"
Zhang Ruochen slapped his forehead and silently cursed himself for being too stupid, when he clearly had a huge treasure trove at his disposal, yet still spent every day worrying about earning silver coins.
He knew that his previous life was the son of Emperor Ming, and he had browsed through many high-level martial arts and techniques, all of which were remembered in his mind. He could casually take out a cultivation method or a combat technique to sell for a sky-high price.
The Jiutian Mingdi Jing and Longxiang Panruo Quan are both divine treasures of the Kunlun Realm, so its naturally impossible to take them out for sale.
In his memory, there were also some low-level martial arts and techniques that could cause a stir in Yunwu County if he took out one at random.
Zhang Ruochen immediately fetched paper and ink, and silently wrote down a set of spiritual-level martial skills, "Tian Xin Swordsmanship".
The Tianxin Sword Technique was already the lowest-level martial skill in Zhang Ruochens memory.
Low-grade spiritual goods.
"The lower-grade spiritual martial art, in Yunwu County, should be considered top-notch. Even for a large family like the Lins, their strongest martial arts are probably only lower-grade spiritual level, and at most, they only have one or two sets, which serve as the clans ultimate technique."
In Yunwu County, many warriors had no chance to cultivate martial skills. Even a low-grade human-level martial skill was an extraordinary treasure for them.
The lowest-priced human-grade lower-tier martial skill would cost at least 300 silver coins, and some of the more powerful ones could sell for over 1,000 silver coins. Ordinary wandering cultivators couldnt afford to buy them. Some warriors were even willing to risk their lives to get their hands on a single copy of a human-grade lower-tier martial skill.
As for the lower-grade spiritual techniques, once they are taken out and sold, even the heads of those large families will be moved, sparing no expense to buy back the techniques.
Having one more top-notch martial skill will increase the familys foundation by a great deal.
After finishing writing down the practice method of Tianxin Swordsmanship, Zhang Ruochen drew small diagrams for each sword move on the paper.
Zhang Ruochen concentrated the limited amount of true energy within his body to the tip of his brush, and infused all the true energy and martial intent into the sword move diagram.
Exhausting ones internal energy just to finish a painting.
Zhang Ruochen immediately sat up in a cross-legged position and circulated the Nine Heavens Divine Emperor Scripture, cultivating the true energy in his dantian to its limit before starting to draw the second diagram.
It took a whole half day to finish drawing all twelve moves of the "Tianxin Swordsmanship" diagram.
His cultivation may be gone, but his eyesight is still there, and so is his understanding of martial arts. Every sword move he draws is extremely exquisite, and its no different from the original "Tian Xin Sword Technique" that was drawn on the surface at first.
"With my current understanding of martial arts, drawing a low-level spiritual technique is already the limit. If I were to draw a mid-level spiritual technique diagram, I estimate that I can only capture about one-third of its essence."
Martial arts secret books are not casually printed and copied.
Even if an ordinary person were to memorize the incantation and sword moves of "Tian Xin Jian Jue" by writing them down, it would still be nothing more than a hollow shell. Even if they managed to successfully cultivate the sword technique, it would never reach the power of a low-grade spiritual sword.
Zhang Ruochen was a powerful being in the previous life, who had reached the peak of Tianji Boundary and achieved great perfection. However, he could only draw out the spiritual aura of low-grade Ling-level sword techniques, and he couldnt fully capture the aura of higher-level martial skills.
"A low-grade Spirit Sword technique should be able to fetch a pretty good price."
Zhang Ruochen did not immediately take the "Tian Xin Sword Technique" to Wu City, but waited until nightfall before heading in the direction of the palace gate.
"Your Highness, Ninth Prince, its so late and you still want to leave the palace?" said the two imperial guards standing at the gate.
The two guards also knew that the Ninth Prince and Lin Fei had been driven to live in a side hall, which meant they had lost power within the palace. So there was no respectful expression on their faces, and they didnt even salute Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen was no longer the weak Zhang Ruochen of old, his sharp gaze fixed on the two imperial guards as he puffed out his chest slightly and said, "This prince is going to Lin Manor to find Xianer, open the palace gates at once!"
Zhang Ruochen was after all a royal prince, so the two guards naturally wouldnt really offend him. They opened the palace gates and watched as Zhang Ruochen left.
"If he werent the son of Yunwu Countys king, he would have died countless times already." One of the imperial guards sneered.
"Its said that Lin familys genius, Lin Suo, is about to get engaged to the Seventh Prince. He still doesnt give up, how foolish." Another guard disdainfully said.
Zhang Ruochen didnt really go find Lin Xianxian, but just used this as an excuse to leave the palace without arousing suspicion.
As soon as Zhang Ruochen left the palace, he took out a large black cloak from the Time and Space Crystal Stone and wrapped his entire body in it, walking into the brightly lit city of Wangcheng.
In the darkness, no one could see his face clearly.
Before long, Zhang Ruochen walked through the bustling streets and entered Wu City.
The other places in the royal city can only be considered as "common markets". The area occupied by the Martial Market is only one-tenth of the entire royal city, but it is the most prosperous place in Yunwu County.
The Wu Market is further divided into five areas: Dan City, Qi City, Shou City, Nu City and the Central Auction House.
The prosperity of Wu City determines the rise and fall of Yunwu County to a certain extent, so the countys management of Wu City is very strict.
Every entrance to Wu City has a military officer at the gate, and only martial artists or people of high status have the qualifications to enter Wu City.
