Zhang Ruochen was slightly surprised and asked: "Who is the first one?"

  "The number one Tian character of Long Wu Dian" said the master of the West Wing.

  Xuan character number one is Duanmu Xingling, Di character number one is Huang Yanchen, and Tian character number one is naturally the descendant of Luoxu, Luoshuihan.

  The head of the Western Courtyard seemed to still have some reluctance, and continued: "Zhang Ruochen, you must think carefully. I have taken in a total of nine disciples, six of whom have already become legendary figures in the Tianji realm, and one is also among the top ten geniuses in the inner palace of the Wumeng Academy. The other two are Huang Yaotou and Duanmu Yaotou - you should know how strong they are."

  "If you become my direct disciple, although I won't give you more cultivation resources, you'll be able to use my reputation and get more benefits in the Wushang Academy. Moreover, no one will dare to easily offend you."

  Zhang Ruochen said: "The student's mind is made up, even if they encounter any setbacks or difficulties in the future at Wumeng Academy, they will never regret it."

  "Alright, since you have such a firm belief, I won't persuade you anymore."

  The master of the Western Temple took out a delicate small jade bottle from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Ruochen, saying: "There is a drop of holy liquid in here, I'm giving it to you as compensation."

  "Saint Liquid", Zhang Ruochen's face showed a surprised expression.

  The disciples of the Wushicheng Academy, in terms of boundary, are much stronger than other warriors. For example, Feng Zhilin, although he is only a Dacheng realm great master, can contend with seven or eight Dacheng realm great masters. That's because the disciples of the Wushicheng Academy have the opportunity to take the Half-Saint True Liquid.

  An ordinary Outer Palace disciple can obtain a drop and a half of Sacred True Liquid every year to temper their physique.

  The top 100 Outer Palace disciples of Western Academy can each obtain one and a half drops of Sacred True Liquid every quarter.

  The top ten students in the Western Academy can get two and a half drops of holy true liquid every quarter.

  The top-ranked disciple of the Western Temple can obtain ten and a half drops of Holy True Liquid every quarter.

  Refining a drop of Semi-Holy True Liquid can significantly strengthen a warrior's physique, making them even more powerful at the same boundary.

  A vial of semi-holy true liquid can be sold for a high price of 100,000 silver coins if taken outside. Moreover, it is priceless and has no market.

  Semi-holy elixir, for students it's a treasure that can't be sought out, who would take it out to sell?

  The holy liquid given to Zhang Ruochen by the master of the Western Temple is dozens of times more precious than the semi-holy true liquid, with each drop worth over 5 million silver coins. It can't be bought in lower and middle-grade countries, only available in top-grade countries.

  Zhang Ruochen naturally didn't stand on ceremony and very readily accepted the holy liquid.

  Then Zhang Ruochen bid farewell to the master of the Western House and returned to the Dragon and Martial Hall.

  "A drop of holy liquid, it's really great. With this drop of holy liquid to assist me, my martial body will become even stronger. Who knows, I might have the opportunity to break through to the Supreme Realm of the Mystic Extreme." Zhang Ruochen grasped the small jade bottle in his hand, feeling extremely delighted.

  To reach the supreme state of Xuanji, relying solely on a single drop of sacred liquid is far from enough. The key lies in the fact that Zhang Ruochen cultivates the Nine Heavens Emperor Scripture, opening up 36 meridians within his body, and has even reached the pinnacle state of "Sword Following Heart", an advantage that other geniuses do not possess.

  The holy liquid plays an auxiliary role.

  And even if these conditions are added up, Zhang Ruochen's chances of reaching the Supreme Extreme Boundary of the Mystic Extreme Realm are still extremely slim.

  Zhang Ruochen had no intention of taking the Holy Liquid for the time being, planning to wait until his cultivation reached the Great Perfection of the Mysterious Extreme Realm before consuming it. Only then could he bring out the value of the Holy Liquid to its maximum extent.

  "The West Wing holds a quarterly assessment every three months, and as long as you enter the top 100 in the quarterly assessment, you can get a drop of Semi-Holy Elixir. The effect of the Semi-Holy Elixir is not comparable to that of the Holy Elixir, but it is still very precious, and even if you have money, it's hard to buy."

  "With two months left until the quarterly assessment, I will at least strive for a drop and a half of Sacred True Liquid."

  The top 100 disciples of the Western Sect were almost all old students who had been cultivating in the Academy for many years, and their attainments were all at the Great Perfection of the Profound Extreme Realm.

  Fēng zhī lín nà yàng de xiū wèi, zài xī yuàn yě zhǐ néng pái zài dì yī bǎi qī shí sān wèi.

  Translation: Feng Zhi Lin's cultivation level is only ranked 173rd in the Western Courtyard.

  "First cultivate the Twelve Moves of the Heaven's Heart Sword Technique successfully."

  Zhang Ruochen has successfully cultivated six moves of the Tianxin Sword Technique and has completed half of this set of Ling-level lower-grade sword techniques.

  Now, he has reached the pinnacle of his swordsmanship, and the speed at which he cultivates his sword techniques will be much faster than before.

  After nightfall, the Western Camp was still brightly lit, with some warriors continuing to practice their martial skills in the training grounds, sweating profusely as they sought to make a name for themselves through their own efforts in the quarterly assessment two months later.

  Some warriors gathered together, drinking fine wine and discussing the great affairs of the world. Occasionally, they would also talk about each of the beautiful sisters or younger female martial artists in the Western Wing, followed by another burst of loud laughter.

  In the majestic and magnificent Tianmo Ridge, the roars of ferocious beasts could be heard from time to time, but the disciples in the Western Courtyard did not take it to heart, having long since become accustomed to it.

  A slender black figure flashed across the top of a building, transformed into a residual shadow, and rushed into a dense forest.

  Although she was wearing men's clothing, it could still be seen that she was a woman.

  In the other four directions of Xiyuan, four black shadows also flew out and gathered together with her.

  Five men in black did not speak, but made a gesture to each other and rushed together towards the same direction, coming to the edge of a cliff.

  On the cliff, a man in black clothes with a hood stood, his whole body shrouded in black, only his left hand exposed. The back of his hand had wrinkles, obviously an old man.

  Five men in black came before the elder and knelt down on one knee, saying: "Greetings, Elder."

  The old man with the cloak turned around and looked at them, his eyes fixed on a slender black-clad figure, saying: "You are this year's newcomer."

  The woman in black said, "Yes."

  The old man in a cloak nodded slightly and took out a golden token from his sleeve, on which were printed the two words "Underworld".

  Looking at the token, the five men in black immediately lowered their heads, looking even more respectful.

  The old man in the cloak said, "In the past three months, there have been seven waves of people offering a reward for Zhang Ruochen's head, with a total reward amount of 3.3 million silver coins, and the largest single reward was issued yesterday, reaching 2 million silver coins."

  "This matter has caught the attention of the master, who personally issued an order: within a month, no matter what the cost, kill Zhang Ruochen. I give you twenty days, if you can't kill Zhang Ruochen within twenty days, I will take action myself."

  "Same old rules, no one reveals their identity to each other. All actions, follow my signal. You can go back now."

  Yes

  The five men in black nodded and left separately, returning to the West Wing.

  The old man in the cloak looked at the five black-clad men leaving, took off the cloak on his head, revealing an old face.

  If Zhang Ruochen were here, he would be able to recognize him as the eldest elder of the Western Courtyard, Elder Situ.

  "Three million three hundred thousand silver coins is no small sum, that kid's head is really worth a lot."

  Elder Sito's eyes revealed a hint of coldness as he put his cloak back on and walked step by step out of the dense forest.

  The next day.

  "Zhang Ruochen, outside Longwu Hall, there is a beautiful girl with the surname Zi who wants to see you."

  Xiao Hei's voice came from outside the Time-Space Crystal and sounded in Zhang Ruochen's ear.

  Zhang Ruochen usually let Xiao Hei guard the door outside when he was cultivating in the inner space of the Time and Space Crystal, and if someone came to find him, he would notify him in time.

  Zhang Ruochen put down the sword in his hand, walked out of the Time and Space Crystal Stone, glanced at Xiao Hei who was concentrating on reading a book, shook his head slightly, and then headed towards the gate of Longwu Hall.

  Zi Yan wore a clean and snowy long gown, holding an ancient sword, standing with her back to the outside of Long Wu Hall, looking from afar like a white lotus flower in the center of a lake.

  Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "Purple Master Sister, it's been a few days since we last met, and your cultivation seems to have made another breakthrough."

  Zi Yan heard Zhang Ruochen's voice and turned around, staring at him for a moment before saying, "Who said I'm your junior sister?"

  Zhang Ruochen said: "We are new students of the same year, and I am the first new student, you are the second new student. It's only natural that I'm your senior brother, so calling you 'junior sister' shouldn't be wrong, right?"

  Zi Yan seemed to be in no mood to argue with Zhang Ruochen, her eyes cold as she said, "Do you not want me to sit in your Huangzi First Number?"

  Zhang Ruochen's heart skipped a beat. Based on her understanding of Ziyan, she wouldn't come looking for him without reason. Had something happened?

  Please

  Zhang Ruochen's expression turned serious as he walked into Longwu Hall with Ziyan, heading towards Huang Ziyi.

  The opposite of Huang Zi No. 1 is Di Zi No. 1.

  At this moment, Duanmu Xingling and Huang Yanchen were both sitting on the attic of the first floor of the Huang character, so they naturally saw Zhang Ruochen take Zi Qing into the gate of the first floor of the Huang character.

  "This ninth prince is really a charming figure, and he's actually won over the first beauty of the new birth. If the news gets out, I estimate that the male students in the Western Academy will be crying again." Duanmu Xingling smiled as she quietly glanced at Huang Yanchen.

  "Scoundrel!"

  Duanmu Xingling narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Chen Jie, you really just watched as Zhang Ruochen was taken away by another woman without any reaction? I'm not resigned to it for your sake."

  Huang Yanchen picked up the jade tea cup, and said faintly: "Who he associates with is his business, it has nothing to do with me. You don't seem to care about him much, so why not take action and get rid of that newly born first beauty?"

  Duanmu Xingling slightly pursed her lips, and didn't seem to have any intention of taking action. She smiled and said: "I'm just saying that in the future, I might possibly like him, but as for now, my name isn't right and my words aren't proper, how can I have the qualifications to take action? On the other hand, it's you, Dust Sister, who has spent a night with Zhang Ruochen. If you were to take action, then first of all, you would occupy the word 'reason'."

  "What's the meaning of this? If you weren't my sworn sister, I would have cut out your tongue." Huang Yanchen's face was abnormally cold, her palm pressed on the table surface, causing a layer of frost to form on it.

  Du Mu Xingling showed no fear, still wearing a faint smile, and said: "So are you going or not? If you don't make your move soon, they might already have succeeded in their plan."

  "Go if you must, but don't let that scoundrel ruin the reputation of Longwudian." Huang Yanchen raised his sword, pointed his toes, and transformed into a fragrant breeze, flying down from the pavilion and heading towards Huang Ziyihao.

  "If he dares to do bad things even in broad daylight, he should be taught a lesson." Duanmu Xingling's mouth emitted a pleasant laugh, with an expression of gloating.

  As soon as she walked into Huangzi's No. 1, Zhang Ruochen had just sat down when Zi Qian bluntly asked: "Zhang Ruochen, do you know how much your head is worth now?"

  Upon hearing this, even Xiao Hei, who had been diligently reading his book, looked up and stared at Zi Qian.

  "How much money?"

  "Three hundred and thirty million silver coins." Zi Yan said.

  Xiao Hei's eyes lit up, looking at Zhang Ruochen's neck, as if thinking about beheading him and exchanging his head for a large sum of silver coins.

  Thirty-three million silver coins, comparable to the total wealth of a seventh-grade family master.

  Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "You won't tell me you're here to kill me, will you?"

  "If I wanted to kill you, there would still be opportunities." Zi Yan's eyes slightly raised, revealing a hint of disdain, saying: "It's just that I'm not interested in your head."

  Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, "Three hundred and thirty million silver coins is not a small sum of money. Even if it's the strongest warrior in Tianji Realm, they would be tempted by this amount. It seems that Di Fu Men is determined to kill me at all costs this time. You leaked the information to me, aren't you afraid that other assassins from Di Fu Men will harm you?"

  Zi Yan stood up and said, "I didn't reveal any information to you, I just told you the price of your head."

  Having said this, she was about to leave.

  Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment, then said: "Since you told me some news, I'll also tell you some news. Recently, it's best if you're careful too, the Wushu Academy is already preparing to clean up all of you evil people who have infiltrated the black market."

  The Gate of Hell is the largest killer organization in the nine counties of Lingxi, and it also belongs to the forces in the black market, under the management of the black market.

  "Thank you"

  Zi Yan paused for a moment, then quickened her pace and walked out of the door.

  Suddenly, footsteps came from outside.

  "There is someone outside."

  Zhang Ruochen and Zi Qian's faces both changed color, had they already been discovered by someone?

  "Boom"

  The gate was cut into four or five pieces by a sword, and even the two pillars as thick as a bowl on both sides of the gate were cut off, and the entire wooden building was shaking.

  Huang Yanchen wore a brocade robe, holding a long sword, and walked in from outside with an imposing manner. Her eyes were extremely cold, scanning Zhang Ruochen and Zi Qian who stood in the main hall.

  He had just walked in when Huang Yanchen regretted it.

  Zhang Ruochen and Zi Qian were dressed neatly and didn't have any improper behavior, just like two friends gathering together.

  It was she who inexplicably drew her sword and chopped the gate to pieces. Originally intending to sneak in and catch them off guard, now she was somewhat at a loss.

  However, as the female devil of Xi Yuan, she naturally couldn't show any awkwardness, and instead still put on a very strong appearance, her eyes sharp like two cold swords.

  Zhang Ruochen and Zi Qian were in a different mood.

  "It's bad. It seems that my conversation with Zi Yan earlier was definitely overheard by her." Zhang Ruochen saw Huang Yanchen's unpleasant expression and knew the situation was not good.

  He glanced at Zǐ Qiān with a slight worry in his heart.

  Huang Yanchen knew that Zi Yan was the killer of the Netherworld Gate, so he would definitely not let her go. If Zi Yan were to be caught, she would absolutely be put to death without a doubt.

  Zi Yan was exposed because she came to deliver a message, so Zhang Ruochen didn't want her to die for him.

  Zi Yan saw the yellow smoke and dust, her heart was also in a mess, but she quickly calmed down, her fingers reaching for the hilt of her sword. Since her identity had already been exposed, she could only fight now.

  Zhang Ruochen will quietly release the time-space domain, enveloping Huang Yanchen in it. When necessary, he must block Huang Yanchen to give Zi Qian a chance to escape.

  Something came up today, so I'll update a big chapter first. The one at 12 midnight is gone, everyone doesn't need to wait anymore. New chapters will be updated tomorrow afternoon.
