Duanmu Xingling wore a pale blue long skirt, the hem of which trailed on the ground, with white feathers wrapped around her shoulders and back, shining brightly, and a snow-white silk ribbon tied around her slender waist, looking rich and luxurious.

  She had raven-black long hair, crystal-clear skin, long eyelashes, rosy lips, a slender neck and full breasts. She had the face of a 13 or 14-year-old girl, but her figure was more curvaceous and voluptuous than that of a 20-year-old woman, simply an exquisite beauty.

  She seemed to have just bathed and came to Zhang Ruochen's residence.

  Zhang Ruochen opened the door and caught a whiff of faint, delicate fragrance. He looked at Duanmu Xingling standing outside the door and felt quite astonished, saying: "Duanmu Shijie, why are you dressed so luxuriously?"

  "Don't girls like dressing up beautifully? During the day, we can only wear the school uniform, can't we dress ourselves up nicely at night?"

  Duanmu Xingling looked particularly cute, stretching out a slender arm to drape over Zhang Ruochen's shoulder, intentionally teasing him as she smiled and said: "Younger brother, do you think older sister is beautiful?"

  Zhang Ruochen said: "Beauty"

  "So you think Shizi Mei is beautiful or that purple-robed sister is more beautiful?" Duanmu Xingling lightly pursed her lips, revealing a pitiful and lovely appearance.

  "You're beautiful," Zhang Ruochen said.

  Can't help but say, this Duanmu sister is indeed a little seductress, with a charm that can lure men into committing crimes.

  Zhang Ruochen didn't want to continue discussing the topic from earlier, so he lifted up Du Mu Xingling's jade hand that was placed on his shoulder and took out a transparent jade space ring. He put it in her hand and smiled: "Elder sister Du Mu, this is a space jade ring for you. If you infuse your true energy into the space jade ring, you can open up the inner space of the ring."

  Although Du Mu Xing Ling had been mentally prepared for a long time, when he pinched the space jade ring, he still felt a little unreal.

  It's really a treasure in space

  Duanmu Xingling took over the spatial jade ring, poured in her true energy, and indeed felt the vast space within the ring.

  This spatial jade bangle, although not like the legendary spatial treasures that can hold the heavens and earth, and create a small world of its own. However, for storing personal treasures, it is more than sufficient, and for warriors, it remains a priceless treasure.

  Duanmu Xingling put the Space Jade Bangle directly on her wrist, stroking it non-stop. Her beautiful eyes shone with a bright light, clearly showing that she was extremely fond of it. In a soft and sweet voice, she said: "Younger brother, this is indeed a spatial treasure, although its grade is very low, but if you take it out to sell, it will definitely be snapped up, at least it can be sold for 500,000 silver coins. If the two Tianji Realm martial arts gods eye it simultaneously and bid against each other, even selling it for 5 million silver coins is possible. Are you really willing to give it to older sister?"

  Zhang Ruochen's body stood upright, with a noble and elegant temperament, showing the demeanor of a prince. He smiled and said, "It's just a storage wristband, it's not worth much to me."

  The temperament on his body is not only the temperament of a prince in this life, but also the temperament of the son of Emperor Ming in the previous life. It's a kind of elegant and refined temperament, like a spring breeze brushing against one's face, noble yet calm, confident yet low-key. Ordinary princes from various states can't learn it at all.

  Duanmu Xingling stared at Zhang Ruochen, shook her head and said: "Alright then, since Master also didn't take your Space Jade Ring for nothing, I'll give you this one drop of Half Sacred True Liquid"

  Duanmu Xingling took out a delicate small jade bottle and handed it to Zhang Ruochen. The jade bottle still carried the faint scent of her body.

  Zhang Ruochen's eyes lit up, and he didn't refuse, putting away the Half Sacred True Liquid.

  The Semi-Holy Elixir was a rather important treasure for him at this point in time.

  "The value of a single drop of Holy True Liquid is still far inferior to the value of this Spatial Jade Bangle." Du Mu Xing Ling's two eyebrows slightly furrowed, saying: "This time, consider it as a favor owed by your senior sister. From now on, if you encounter any trouble in the Western Courtyard, just tell your senior sister. Whoever dares to be an enemy of yours, I will not forgive them first."

  Zhang Ruochen knew that until this moment, Duanmu Xingling had truly regarded him as a friend.

  At most, we were just slightly better than ordinary classmates before.

  Duanmu Xingling seemed to have thought of something and said, "There's one more thing. The day after tomorrow morning, the Divine Power Temple will be open for a short time, you mustn't miss it."

  "Thanks for reminding me, Sister." Zhang Ruochen said.

  Du Mu Xing Ling's smile was breathtakingly beautiful, the more Zhang Ruo Chen looked at him, the more he felt pleased to the eye. Similarly, as princes, why were those other princes so different from him?

  "The Divine Power Temple, which only opens once a month for just one hour. Other students don't have the chance to enter and cultivate in the temple, only the top new student of each generation has the qualification to enter." Duanmu Xingling reminded Zhang Ruochen before leaving.

  After Du Mu Xingling left, Zhang Ruochen muttered to himself: "The Divine Power Temple should be the place where Wuxi Academy cultivates top talents."

  Top talent enjoys far more resources than ordinary students.

  As long as top-notch talents can be cultivated, no matter how precious the cultivation resources are, Wu Shi and Qian Zhuang will share them.

  For example, the Semi-Holy Elixir is a very precious thing in other major forces. However, in the Wushang Academy, even the lowest-ranking outer palace disciple can get one drop per year.

  Money can't buy class.

  Zhang Ruochen looked at the half-sacred true liquid in his hand, a joyful expression appeared on his face, and he opened the small jade bottle. A faint fragrance wafted out of the jade bottle, filling the entire room.

  To prevent the medicinal properties of the Semi-Saint Elixir from dissipating, Zhang Ruochen immediately released his spatial domain, controlling the scattered medicinal gas within a three-meter radius.

  After reaching the late stage of Xuanji, the spatial domain becomes stronger and can cover a space of about 50 meters in diameter.

  Zhang Ruochen took a light breath, and the scattered Half Sacred True Liquid was all absorbed into his body.

  "Slap slap"

  Zhang Ruochen's body was resonating with a faint cracking sound, as if his bones and muscles were exploding.

  The true Qi in the thirty-six meridians flows rapidly and wildly, transporting the medicinal properties of the Semi-Saint True Liquid to every corner of the body.

  The medicinal properties of the Semi-Holy Elixir had circulated throughout his body for a major cycle, and Zhang Ruo Chen felt that all the meridians in his body had become even more flexible.

  "Just by inhaling a wisp of medicinal energy, I've gained such great benefits. If I were to consume the entire Half Sacred True Liquid, how much stronger would my martial body become?"

  Zhang Ruochen eagerly entered the inner space of the Time and Space Crystal, swallowing that half-sacred true liquid.

  He had just swallowed the Semi-Holy Elixir when a wave of extreme cold air spread from his abdomen, causing Zhang Ruo Cen's entire body to shudder and a layer of frost to form on the surface of his skin.

  That layer of frost continued to thicken, and after half a time, Zhang Ruochen was completely frozen into a two-meter-high ice crystal.

  Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged in the center of the ice crystal, his eyes closed and his hands placed on his knees. The thirty-six meridians within his body began to circulate simultaneously, continuously absorbing the medicinal properties of the Half-Saint True Liquid.

  The next day.

  That drop of Semi-Holy True Liquid was completely absorbed into the Jade Pure True Energy by Zhang Ruochen, and as the Jade Pure True Energy flowed, the medicinal properties of the Semi-Holy True Liquid also began to surge throughout his body.

  The chill in his body disappeared, replaced by a wave of heat, as if there was a flame burning in his abdomen, and his entire body seemed to be on fire.

  The ice crystals on Zhang Ruochen's body surface began to melt, turning into icy water, and were finally evaporated by the hot air.

  Two more days have passed.

  Zhang Ruochen's body recovered to normal, but his skin emitted a faint white glow. His entire body was wrapped in true energy, and strands of true energy continuously drilled in and out of his pores, like spiritual snakes.

  On the fourth day, Zhang Ruochen finally refined the half-sacred true liquid completely, and his meridians became even more expansive. Even the capacity of his Qi Lake increased by about one-tenth.

  Warriors of the same boundary, the capacity of their Qi lakes are almost the same size.

  After taking the Semi-Holy Elixir, the Qi Lake grew even larger.

  That is to say, within the same boundary, Zhang Ruochen's true energy will be deeper than other warriors, and his body can hold more true energy.

  Like Duanmu Xingling and Huang Yanzhen, they can obtain nearly ten drops of Semi-Holy True Liquid every year to enhance their physique. The amount of true energy that can be stored in their Qi Lakes is definitely far superior to other Profound Extreme Realm cultivators who have achieved the Great Perfection Stage.

  Zhang Ruochen had merely refined a drop and a half of Semi-saint True Liquid, yet he gained enormous benefits.

  His skeleton, muscles and five organs had all been tempered once, Zhang Ruo Chen could clearly feel that his strength had become even more powerful.

  Cultivation has also made significant progress, and it's not far from the perfect realm of the late stage of Xuanji.

  "Half-saint true liquid is indeed a good treasure, if only I could get more of it." Zhang Ruochen let out a long sigh, his limbs and bones feeling extremely comfortable.

  Zhang Ruochen was able to fully refine the Half Sacred True Liquid in just four short days because he possessed thirty-six meridians, allowing him to refine at a speed much faster than other warriors.

  If it were another martial artist in the late stage of Xuanji, it would take at least twenty days to fully refine a drop of Half Sacred True Liquid.

  Zhang Ruochen calculated the time and found that it was almost time for the Divine Palace to open, so he immediately walked out of the inner space of the Time-Space Crystal Stone and rushed towards the Divine Palace.

  Early in the morning, just after dawn.

  Outside the Temple of God's Power, eight young disciples gathered, six of whom were women and only two were men.

  These eight people were the first newcomers of Xiyuan in recent years.

  Zhang Ruochen was the ninth and also the last one to arrive outside the Divine Might Temple.

  Apart from Zhang Ruochen, among the other eight people, the weakest one was also at the Xuanji Realm's Dajibei cultivation level. That person was last year's new student number one, Xue Ling.

  The remaining seven people were all in the realm of Xuanji's Great Perfection.

  This year's new first is "Zhang Ruochen", last year's new first is "Xue Ling", two years ago the new first is "Wei Chi Tiancong", three years ago the new first is "Duanmu Xingling", four years ago the new first is "Luo Shuihan", five years ago the new first is "Huang Yanchen".

  Wei Chi Tian Cong was also an extraordinary young genius, and after only two years of entering the Wu Shi Xue Gong, he reached the extreme realm of Dacheng, shocking many elders.

  There was another male disciple who was the first to be born nine years ago, named Tuomu Zi, and had been staying in the realm of Xuanji for six years.

  This year, he is already twenty-nine years old. If he cannot reach the extreme earth boundary before the age of thirty, then he will never have the opportunity to become an inner disciple of the Wujing Academy.

  The transition from the Great Perfection of the Mystic Realm to the Earthly Realm is a major watershed, and many originally fast-cultivating geniuses may be stuck in this realm for ten years, twenty years, or even a lifetime.

  So it's not that Tuo Mu Zi's innate talent is low, but rather that breaking through to the Earth Extreme Realm is really too difficult.
