When Zhang Ruochen saw Hachiko and Shan Xiangqian, they also saw Zhang Ruochen standing outside the Mingtu Guild.

  When he saw Zhang Ruochen, the Eight Kings anger rose to his head, and he coldly sneered: "Ninth Brother, arent you a martial arts prodigy now? What are you doing in the Mingtun Guild?"

  Zhang Ruochen gently shook his head, not wanting to get entangled with the Eighth Prince. He instructed Yuner, "Yuner sister, wait for me on the Chongma ancient carriage, Ill go to the Mingwen Association to buy some things first."

  Zhang Ruochen stepped down from the ancient car and walked towards the entrance of the Mingwen Association.

  From behind, a very soft and pleasant voice came, "Your Highness, Ninth Prince, wait a moment."

  Zhang Ruochen stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Shan Xiangqian who was walking towards him, saying: "You are"

  In the Qingxuan Pavilion, Zhang Ruochen had met Shan Xiangqian once, but he didnt know her identity or name. He only knew that she seemed to be the junior fellow disciple of the Eighth Prince, from a certain sect.

  "Huo Yunzong, Shan Xianglian. When the Ninth Prince was evaluated at the end of the year, it really opened Xianglians eyes to see that with his cultivation in the lower realm of Huangji, he could defeat a martial artist in the higher realm of Huangji. If there is an opportunity, Xianglian hopes to exchange martial arts knowledge with the Ninth Prince."

  Xiang Liang walked towards Zhang Ruochen with a gentle and elegant demeanor, emitting a faint fragrance from her body, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

  You are one of the four great beauties of Yunwu County, and Shang Xiangliang is indeed very beautiful. Her eyebrows are like willow leaves, her eyelashes are long and curled, and her facial features are extremely delicate, just like a work of art carefully crafted by the creator.

  Originally, when she first saw Zhang Ruochen in the Qingxuan Hall, she thought of Zhang Ruochen as a useless person who couldnt cultivate martial arts, and even suspected that Zhang Ruochen was Qin Yas concubine, looking down on him very much.

  However, at the end of the year assessment, Zhang Ruochen showed his terrifying martial arts talent, lifting a thousand-jin heavy stone plate as if it were a toy, hunting and killing a first-class superior savage beast, crossing two small realms to defeat the enemy.

  In the world of young martial artists, achieving any of these things is no easy feat.

  A martial arts prodigy like Zhang Ruochen would never become someones concubine and be reduced to being a plaything for a licentious woman.

  Zhang Ruochen took a subtle glance at Shan Xiangqian, and his heart was slightly startled. "This woman not only looks extremely beautiful, but her martial arts talent is also very high. She has actually cultivated to the Huang Ji boundary of the Great Extreme Realm, which is even higher than the cultivation of the Ninth Princess and Lin Xianshuang."

  In fact, Jiuzhou Zhu, Lin Xianxian and Shan Xiangqiong were all because of their beauty and high martial arts talent, so they could be listed as one of the four great beauties of the younger generation.

  If one doesnt have the innate talent for martial arts, no matter how beautiful they look, they dont qualify to be a goddess-like figure that many warriors admire.

  Dan Xianglian was seventeen years old, a bit older than Jiuguo and Lin Xianshan, so her cultivation was naturally higher.

  Bawangzi saw Danxianglian taking the initiative to show affection to Zhang Ruochen, sensed a crisis and immediately rushed over, saying: "Junior sister, have you forgotten about Ninth Brother and Qingxuan Pavilions boss lady? This kind of person, its better for you to stay away from him."

  Dan Xiangling slightly raised her hand, interrupting the Eighth Princes words. With a bright smile and sparkling eyes, she said: "How could the Ninth Prince, such an outstanding young talent, be the kind of person you described?"

  That sense of crisis has intensified even more

  "Junior sister, lets go. Well come back and pay our respects next time." Hachioji grabbed Shuang Xiangxiangs wrist, wanting to pull her away.

  "Whoosh"

  A burst of true energy rapidly circulated within Shan Xiangs body, and a powerful force was emitted from his wrist. With a slight flick, he sent Hachiko flying out directly.

  "Your Highness of Yokohama, men and women are different, please restrain yourself." said Shan Xiangqian coldly.

  "Shi Mei", the fifth son of the Eight Kings, had his five fingers aching and numb, and he couldnt even lift his entire arm.

  Dan Xiangling glanced at Bajing and shook her head lightly.

  As she looked at Zhang Ruochen again, a gentle and beautiful smile immediately appeared on her face, and her voice was very pleasant: "Your Highness the Ninth Prince, Xiangqian has come to Mingtong Guild to apprentice, planning to learn alchemy. And you?"

  Zhang Ruochen saw everything that had just happened and said calmly: "Im here to buy a pen and spiritual paper, I plan to learn how to write talismans."

  "Really, thats great. Ive been studying seals since I was a child and can already engrave some basic ones. I also have some research on seal brushes and spiritual paper. If the Ninth Prince wants to buy these two things, perhaps Xiangxiang can help." said Shan Xiangxiang.

  Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment before realizing that he didnt really understand the Spirit Pencil and Spiritual Paper, so he agreed.

  Looking at Zhang Ruochen and Shan Xiangqians back view, Hachiko was depressed to the extreme.

  After a moment, Hakuryuus eyes regained their fighting spirit. In his heart, he secretly thought that as long as he became one of Saoins disciples, at that time, his junior sister would definitely return to his side once again.

  "Seals and Spirit Papers are also divided into five grades, namely Basic Grade, Mid Grade, High Grade, Heaven Grade, and Divine Grade, corresponding to the five grades of seals."

  "Basic sketching can be done with just a basic pencil and tracing paper."

  "People with spiritual power below 30 can only engrave basic runes. The higher the spiritual power, the more basic runes that can be engraved, the more stable the runes are, and the higher the success rate is."

  Shan Xiangling said while introducing Zhang Ruochen, "Ive been cultivating spiritual power since I was young and learning about tattoos at the same time. My current spiritual power has reached the 16th rank, and I can also carve out a few basic tattoos, but my success rate is very low. It takes me twenty attempts to succeed once."

  "Someone like Shaoren, the success rate is already quite high, drawing ten times, at least seven or eight times will be successful."

  In the Chi Yun Sect, they also recruit cultivators who cultivate spiritual energy. However, the Chi Yun Sect is a martial arts sect after all, and even the most skilled spiritual energy cultivator has only cultivated their spiritual energy to the 18th level. With his attainments, its already very difficult for him to guide Xiangxiang further.

  So, Shan Xiang came to the Mingtu Guild in Wangcheng, wanting to apprentice under Master Sauron, a master craftsman, to continue learning about runes and equipment crafting, striving to become a first-rate craftsman as soon as possible.

  "Your spiritual power has actually reached the 16th rank," Zhang Ruochen said.

  It is said that if one can cultivate their spiritual power to the 15th stage before the age of twenty, they can be called a genius. Shan Xiangqians spiritual power intensity was already quite impressive among girls of the same age.

  When it comes to spiritual power intensity, Dan Xiangling is quite proud of himself. A sense of superiority suddenly rises in his heart, and he says, "Generally speaking, if ones spiritual power reaches the 15th rank, they have a chance to become a first-rate artifact refiner."

  She paused, then said somewhat dejectedly: "Unfortunately, my equipment forging skills and engraving techniques are slightly inferior. Ive taken the exam twice, but havent passed as a first-rate equipment forger. If only I could apprentice under a second-rate equipment forger and receive his guidance, Im sure I can quickly become a first-rate equipment forger."

  Zhang Ruochen said: "Whats so good about becoming a first-rate Refiner?"

  "The benefits are numerous. First, by becoming a first-rate equipment refiner, you can formally join the Engraving Guild and become a member of the Engraving Guild, with the opportunity to learn even more profound spiritual power techniques, and also have the chance to listen to lectures from spiritual power masters."

  "At the same time, as a Refiner, you can obtain a set of specially crafted Refiner robes from the Engraving Guild. As long as you wear the robes, they represent your identity. Unless its a personal vendetta or you provoke trouble yourself, if anyone dares to do you harm, the Engraving Guild will step in to help you resolve the issue."

  "Of course, as a top-grade equipment refiner, they are actually highly respected by warriors. Generally speaking, no warrior would dare to offend an equipment refiner or pill refiner."

  Zhang Ruochens heart was also moved, after all, the history of the Mingzhu Pavilion was very long, it was born in the Middle Ages, tens of thousands of years ago. Even the First Central Empire opened by Chi Yao Empress had only 800 years of history.

  It can be said that even the current ruling power of the Kunlun Realms first central empire cannot compare to the foundation of the Mingtian Association.

  No one knows how powerful the Mingwen Society is, anyway no one dares to provoke the Mingwen Society.

  If I could become a member of the Mingwen Guild, it would also be a good thing. Zhang Ruochen nodded thoughtfully.

  Pencils and tracing paper were very expensive.

  A basic pencil is sold for one thousand silver coins.

  A basic-level spirit paper sells for one silver coin.

  Seeing the price, ordinary warriors had already turned around and left in fright.

  Learning alchemy is simply a waste of money, only large families and sects can cultivate a few alchemists and equipment refiners, and before cultivating, they must carefully select and choose those with strong spiritual power.

  If it cant be cultivated into a first-rate alchemist or a first-rate equipment refiner, then its a loss that cant be recovered.

  Zhang Ruochen bought a total of ten pencils and 10,000 sheets of spiritual paper, spending a total of 20,000 silver coins. Even though he is not short of money now, he still feels heartbroken about the expense.

  Zhang Ruochen bought a pen and spiritual paper, then went with Shan Xiangqian to visit Sao Ens refining master. Zhang Ruochen is now completely ignorant of engraving patterns, relying solely on his own exploration.

  If you can get guidance from an expert, perhaps you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

  From far away, they heard a voice.

  "Congratulations, Your Highness Prince Hachiko. Your spiritual power has reached the 12th level. You really havent cultivated your spiritual power before," said Zorne, the equipment master with some astonishment.

  At the age of Hakuos, if he really didnt cultivate his spiritual power and could reach the 12th rank, that would be considered a rare talent.

  "This prince had naturally never cultivated spiritual power before."

  Hachioji saw Zhang Ruochen and Shan Xiangqian walking towards him, a triumphant smile in his eyes, and deliberately raised his voice, saying: "In the sense of the great master, isnt this king born with strong spiritual power?"

  Having obtained Sao Zhens affirmation, Bawangzi was very excited, so he eagerly showed his talent to Shan Xiangqian.

  There is still one chapter left today
