Zhang Ruochen arrived outside the Temple of Divine Power and looked at the six women and two men standing in a row, muttering to himself: "The West Wing is indeed dominated by yin and weak in yang."
Many people in the scene showed envy and jealousy when they saw Zhang Ruochen's arrival.
The three female demons lived in Longwudian. They had no objection, after all, the cultivation of the three female demon heads was there, who dared not to obey.
But everyone is a new student first, what makes Zhang Ruochen able to live in the Huangzidi No. 1 of Longwudian, while other new students entering Longwudian will be driven out by the three female demons?
Among them, Wei Chi Tiancong was the most resentful, because he was the worst off.
Two years ago, he became the first newcomer to enter the Dragon Martial Hall with great fanfare, but that night, his legs were broken by Huang Yanchen and he was thrown out. He even compensated Huang Yanchen for the 3,000 merit points awarded to new students.
He had thought that Zhang Ruochen's fate would be worse than his, but a month passed and Zhang Ruochen was still living safely in Huang Zi No. 1, as if the three female demons had never gone to trouble him.
How did it end up like this?
Wei Chi Tian Cong's mind was filled with confusion.
Duanmu Xingling saw Zhang Ruochen for the first time and found that Zhang Ruochen's aura seemed to have changed again, so he asked proactively: "Junior brother, you won't have refined that half-saint true liquid already, will you?"
Zhang Ruochen nodded and smiled: "Indeed, it has all been refined."
Du Mu Xingling's heart was extremely shocked, her apricot-like eyes were filled with an incredulous expression, and she said: "In just over a day's time, you can completely refine half of the Semi-Holy True Liquid?"
Even with Duanmu Xingling's current cultivation level, it would take two days to fully refine a drop of Half-Saint True Liquid. Zhang Ruochen, no matter how high his innate talent was, had only reached the late stage of the Xuanji Realm, so how could his speed at refining Half-Saint True Liquid possibly be faster than hers?
Duanmu Xingling did not know that Zhang Ruochen possessed the Time and Space Crystal, outside a day had passed, but in the crystal, Zhang Ruochen had already cultivated for four days.
"It's just a drop of semi-holy true liquid, if it were a drop of holy liquid, it wouldn't be so easy to refine."
Du Mu Xing Ling stared at Zhang Ruo Chen as if she was looking at a monster, this guy had brought her too many surprises and shocks, how many more secrets were hidden on his body.
The nine people were arranged in the order they entered the Western Courtyard, so Wei Chi Tian Cong stood beside Duanmu Xing Ling and heard Duanmu Xing Ling and Zhang Ruochen's conversation clearly.
Wei Chi Tian Cong smiled and said, "Zhang Shidi, as far as I know, you've only been in the Western Courtyard for a month, it's absolutely impossible to obtain the Half-Saint True Liquid from the Academy Awards. I don't know where your Half-Saint True Liquid came from."
Xue Ling was also somewhat jealous of Zhang Ruochen, after all, even she had been driven out of the Dragon and Martial Hall by Huang Yanchen and Duanmuxing, while Zhang Ruochen could stay in the Dragon and Martial Hall to cultivate, how could she not be jealous?
Xue Ling also revealed a faint smile, saying: "As far as I know, there are only two ways for students to obtain the Semi-Saint True Liquid. The first way is naturally the one drop of Semi-Saint True Liquid awarded by the Academy to students every year. The second way is to go to the black market and find an acquaintance to buy the Semi-Saint True Liquid at a high price. Does Shidi have an acquaintance in the black market?"
Xue Ling stood between Wei Chi Tian Cong and Zhang Ruo Chen, looking like a 16 or 17-year-old girl with a very beautiful face and a smile always on her face. Her looks were considered quite good-looking, but compared to Duan Mu Xing Ling and Huang Yan Chen, she was still a notch inferior.
Xue Ling's words are heart-piercing, after all everyone knows about the opposing relationship between Wu Shi's money house and the black market.
If Zhang Ruochen really bought the Semi-Holy Liquid in the black market, he would definitely be suspected by the higher-ups of the Martial Arts Academy. Although the higher-ups of the Martial Arts Academy wouldn't expel him from the Wumeng Martial Arts Academy without evidence, Zhang Ruochen could forget about continuing his cultivation in the Dragon and Martial Temple from now on.
Zhang Ruo Chen didn't say a word, but Duanmu Xingling standing beside him was extremely displeased. He stared at Wei Chi Tiancong and Xue Ling, the smile on his face instantly disappearing, replaced by a chill: "What do you two mean by suspecting Zhang Shidi is an undercover agent of the black market?"
Xue Ling deeply resented Duanmu Xingling, because a year ago, it was Duanmu Xingling who drove her out of Longwudian, saying that her talent was too low and she didn't qualify to enter Longwudian for cultivation.
Xue Ling smiled and said, "Duanmu Shijie misunderstood me. I never said that my junior brother was an undercover agent of the black market. I'm just very curious about the source of my junior brother's Semi-Holy Elixir. After all, Semi-Holy Elixir is so precious, if my junior brother can really get it from other channels, I'd also like to buy a few drops at a high price."
It's clear that Xue Ling still has her doubts about Zhang Ruochen.
Wei Chi Tian Cong said: "Younger martial brother, I also want to know the origin of your Semi-Holy True Liquid. Can you sell me a few drops?"
Zhang Ruochen stared at the two people standing beside him and smiled, "Since you're so eager to know, I'll tell you. Actually, that half sacred true liquid of mine was a gift from Duanmu Shijie when we first met. If you want to buy it, go find Duanmu Shijie to buy it."
Wei Chi Tiancong and Xue Ling were stunned by Zhang Ruochen's words, their eyes fixed on Duanmu Xingling, clearly not believing what Zhang Ruochen said.
How precious is the Semi-Holy Elixir, even a top-notch cultivator like Duanmu Xingling can only obtain eight drops in a year. How could she possibly give such a precious thing to a junior brother who has just entered the Western Courtyard?
Not only did Wei Chi Tian Cong and Xue Ling disbelieve, but the other disciples also didn't believe, their eyes all turned to Duan Mu Xing Ling.
Duanmu Xingling smiled and said: "That's right, that one drop of Half Sacred True Liquid was indeed given to me by Zhang Shidi"
When he heard this, Wei Chi Tian Cong seemed to have finally understood something. He secretly thought: "No wonder Zhang Ruo Chen can stand firm in the Dragon Martial Hall, it turns out that he has Duanmu Xingling as his backing. Duanmu Xingling can even give him a Half-Saint True Liquid, their relationship is absolutely not ordinary."
"Duanmu Xingling, with such exceptional talent and stunning beauty, how could she possibly fall for him?" Wei Chi Tiancong grew even more jealous of Zhang Ruochen, resentful to the point of wanting to replace him.
Huang Yanchen pulled Xing Ling to one side, his eyes gleaming with a few hints of cold sharpness, and said in a low voice: "Xing Ling, you can't really like that scoundrel, can you?"
"Still not enough?" Duanmu Xingling chuckled and said.
Huang Yanchen's expression turned somewhat unpleasant as she said, "You gave him the entire Half Sacred Elixir, yet you still dare to deny that lecherous scoundrel's depraved behavior? He's been flirting with every woman in sight. If you truly have feelings for him, he'll be the death of you."
Duanmu Xingling's smile bloomed like a pear flower, and she raised her slender snow-white wrist, shaking the space jade bangle on it in front of Huang Yanchen's eyes, saying: "The treasure he gave me."
Huang Yanchen felt that Duanmuxingling was beyond salvation, so he stretched out a finger and pressed it on Duanmuxingling's brow, saying: "Xingling, he gave you a broken jade bangle and you're already this happy. If he gives you something even more precious, won't you just end up in his bed? Wake up, don't be cheated by that lecher!"
"What is a broken jade bangle"
Duanmu Xingling's apricot-like eyes stared at Huang Yanchen for a moment, then she took off the spacetime jade bangle from her wrist and handed it over, saying: "You infuse your true energy into the bangle, and see if this is really a broken bangle."
Huang Yanchen's eyes carried a disdainful expression, not believing that Zhang Ruochen could give Duanyu Xingling any precious treasure, guessing it was just a low-grade defensive true martial artifact.
Although he thought so in his heart, Huang Yanchen still poured his true energy into the jade bangle.
"Whoosh"
The surface of the jade bangle exudes a faint luster.
Huang Yanchen's face gradually became solemn, and her slender jade hand reached out towards the jade hoop. Her fingers directly passed through the halo and entered a vast inner space.
"Space Treasure"
Huang Yanchen was completely shocked, if it weren't for the Space Jade Ring on her hand, she would have thought she was dreaming.
Never thought I'd live to see the day when I could lay eyes on a space treasure.
"This space jade bangle was really given to you by him." Huang Yanchen said with great envy.
Duanmu Xingling narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying: "Chen Jie, you first return the Space Jade Bangle to me."
Huang Yanzhen tightly grasped the Space Jade Bangle, constantly stroking it with great fondness, and reluctantly returned it to Duanmu Xingling.
At this moment, Huang Yanchen's heart had a hint of sourness, looking at the good sister in front of her, she actually felt a thread of jealousy, saying: "Xingling, don't reveal this spatial jade bangle, if someone with ill intentions takes notice, it will definitely bring you big trouble."
Duanmu Xingling was so clever that he naturally sensed Huang Yanchen's emotions, and smiled: "As far as I know, Zhang Ruocheng has more than one spatial treasure."
Huang Yanchen's beautiful eyes lit up and she said, "Really?"
Duanmu Xingling said: "Otherwise, he would casually give me a Spatial Jade Bangle"
Huang Yanchen's heart gradually dissipated the thread of jealousy, revealing a few hints of cold color: "I understand, you deliberately brought the space jade bangle in front of me to show off, aren't you afraid I'll snatch it from you?"
"You're robbing me, why don't you go rob Zhang Ruochen instead? With your relationship with him, getting a spatial treasure shouldn't be a problem." Duanmu Xingling said this and winked at Huang Yanchen before returning to the outside of the Divine Power Temple's gate, continuing to wait for it to open.
Huang Yanchen stared at Zhang Ruochen for a moment, sizing him up from head to toe, before returning to stand beside Duanmu Xingling.
Zhang Ruochen always felt that Huang Yanchen's eyes were not quite right, as if she wanted to devour him whole. He couldn't help but feel bewildered in his heart, thinking to himself that he hadn't provoked her at all.
At this time, three more young disciples arrived outside Shenli Temple, namely Zi Qian, Huo Xing Wangzi and Yao Qingtong.
"How did three new students suddenly appear?" Xue Ling glared at the three newcomers, feeling very displeased.
Wei Chi Tian Cong furrowed his brow and said, "Not every year's new student can enter the Divine Power Temple to cultivate. What are they doing here?"
Zhang Ruochen seemed to understand something and nodded lightly.
Wei Chi Tiancong and Xue Ling were indeed the first freshmen, but they had only charged through the second floor of the Martial Tower's third pass.
Zi Yan, Huo Xing Wangzi and Yao Qingtong all broke through the third floor of the Martial Tower at the time of enrollment. The three of them were not the first freshmen, but their talents were stronger than half of the freshmen who were the first in martial arts, so they could exceptionally enter the Divine Power Temple to cultivate.
