Being a senior brother is not easy, and a gift for meeting is a must.

  Zhang Ruochen smiled and took out a Wind Wing and a Barbaric Bone Bow, handing the Wind Wing to Yao Qingtong and the Barbaric Bone Bow to Zi Qian.

  Feng Zhī Yì and Mán Gǔ Gōng are both treasures of Yuè Lín Chōng.

  Yuelin Chong was killed by Lu Han, but the precious instrument on his body was taken away by Zhang Ruochen.

  Wings of Wind, worth 500 points of merit value, comparable to 500,000 silver coins, absolutely priceless.

  The Barbaric Bone Bow is a bow made from the spine of a 4th-tier Barbaric Beast, refined into a 6th-tier True Martial Treasure, with a price similar to that of the Wings of Wind.

  Zi Yan and Zhang Ruochen were already quite familiar with each other, and without any courtesy, they put away the barbaric bone bow.

  Yao Qingtong looked rather shy and felt that Zhang Ruochen's gift was too valuable, feeling a bit embarrassed to accept it.

  Zi Yan placed the Wind Wing in Yao Qingtong's hand and said, "Yao sister, don't be polite to Eldest Senior Brother, he doesn't lack this kind of cultivation resource at all."

  "Thank you, Senior Brother." Yao Qingtong held onto the Wind Wing, feeling extremely delighted in his heart.

  With this Wind Wing, even if I encounter a strong enemy in the extreme land, I can escape with ease.

  Zhang Ruochen stared at Zi Cai, smiled slightly, and for him now, a Wind Wing and a Barbaric Bone Bow were indeed not considered precious.

  Time flies, Zi Yan and Yao Qingtong have been stationed in Longwu Temple for a month.

  To others it was just one month, but to Zhang Ruochen it was three months.

  For three months, Zhang Ruochen spent most of his time in seclusion, cultivating and refining fifteen stalks of Three-leaf Holy Spirit Grass, bringing his martial arts cultivation to the pinnacle of the Xuanji Realm's Great Perfection.

  The pure and true energy is fully filled in the air lake, if it doesn't break through the boundary, the amount of true energy cannot be increased again.

  The spiritual lake in his mind had grown to an enormous size, like a real lake, with the true energy surging and boundless at a glance.

  "The amount of true energy, although it has already reached the extreme of the mysterious extreme realm, but I can still continue to condense and refine my true energy, increasing its purity."

  Zhang Ruochen's current fastest explosive speed has reached seventy-nine meters per second.

  "To impact the Extreme Realm, one must work from two directions. First, refine true energy and flesh body. Second, cultivate Wind Chasing Dragon Shadow to Great Completion."

  According to Zhang Ruochen's prediction, as long as he cultivates the Wind Dragon Shadow to its peak, his speed will reach 80 meters per second.

  If you also add the improvement of physical quality and true energy quality, there is still a certain chance to break through to the Supreme Realm of Xuanji.

  Apart from cultivating, Zhang Ruochen also participated in the quarterly assessment half a month ago. Without any suspense, he became the number one person of the Western Academy.

  From now on, he will receive ten and a half drops of holy true liquid every quarter. The first person in the four courts is treated like this.

  Every month, Zhang Ruochen still had to enter the Divine Might Temple to cultivate his spiritual power. However, the increase in his spiritual power was not significant.

  Zhang Ruochen seems to have reached a bottleneck, and his strength is hard to improve. Now it's necessary to keep accumulating and tempering, solidifying the foundation, once breaking through the boundary, that's the dragon rising from the sea, soaring into the sky.

  At the same time, Zhang Ruochen has also been practicing the Space Seal of the Master and the Defensive Space Seal recently.

  Defensive spatial seals are further divided into "shield-shaped seals", "canopy-shaped seals" and "array-shaped seals". If further subdivided, dozens of other types of seals can be distinguished.

  As long as these patterns are engraved successfully, the space ring will no longer be just a ring, but also a defensive-type true martial treasure.

  In the inner space of the Time-Space Crystal, Zhang Ruochen spent a month practicing and consumed tens of thousands of spiritual papers to finally successfully engrave the Master Space Seal.

  After spending another day, Zhang Ruochen simultaneously engraved the eight basic spatial runes and the recognized master spatial rune onto a storage ring, refining a brand new spatial storage treasure.

  "Whoosh"

  Zhang Ruochen dripped a drop of fresh blood onto the storage ring.

  A flash of blood light, the master space imprint absorbed Zhang Ruochen's blood and transformed it into a blood-red mark.

  Authentication successful.

  From now on, even if Zhang Ruochen's storage ring is taken away, others will not be able to open the ring.

  "After adding the Master Engraving, the value of the Spatial Storage Bracelet has at least doubled." Zhang Ruochen's face showed a smile as he continued to practice his defensive engravings.

  Four months after the intermediate relic exploration exam ended, Zhang Ruochen had been cultivating in the Time and Space Crystal for a year.

  In one year, Zhang Ruochen made tremendous progress. Although he could still only burst out at a speed of seventy-nine meters per second, the true energy in his body became more condensed and his combat strength increased greatly.

  Zi Yan arrived at Tianzi First Number, looking for Zhang Ruochen, and said: "Big Brother Master, I'm going to the Wumeng Martial City's Wujie Arena to challenge the Xuanbang Martial Artist. Do you want to go together?"

  "Tianmo Wucheng."

  Zhang Ruochen was planning to go to the Tianmo Martial City, preparing to find a skilled artifact refiner to help him repair his broken Abyss Ancient Sword.

  The ancient sword was given to him by Princess Chi Yao 800 years ago, although the sword is already broken, Zhang Ruochen still wants to continue using that old sword by reconnecting the engravings on it.

  Only by using the Submerged Ancient Sword can he exert his most perfect swordsmanship.

  In Yunwu County, no such masterful refiner could be found, so Zhang Ruochen decided to try his luck in Tianmo Wucheng.

  Tianmo Wucheng, after all, is the largest city in the thirty-six counties of Tianmo Ridge, with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and masters as numerous as clouds. Perhaps there are some master craftsmen who can repair the Sunken Ancient Sword.

  Zhang Ruochen and Ziyan rode a third-grade inferior savage bird, Snowflake Eagle, leaving the Western Courtyard, flying towards the direction of Tianmo Martial City.

  The strength of the Snowflake Carving is comparable to that of a mid-term warrior in the Extreme Boundary, with wings spread out for more than 20 meters long, snow-white feathers without any impurities, and the fastest speed can reach 90 meters per second.

  This Snowflake Bird was not exchanged by Zhang Ruochen using his contribution points at the Wumeng Academy, but rather a fierce bird subdued by Xiao Hei on Tianmo Ridge.

  As Zhang Ruochen's cultivation increased, Xiao Hei's strength also grew exponentially. When entering combat mode, its body could become as massive as a wild elephant, and even a late-stage warrior of the Earthly Boundary wouldn't be its match.

  At this moment, Xiao Hei's body had shrunk to the size of a fist and was lying on Zhang Ruochen's shoulder, hugging a book as he studied the inscription for refining equipment.

  "Zhang Ruochen, take out that broken sword. Perhaps I can help you repair it." Little Hei closed the book and stood up, looking up with his proud head, saying very seriously.

  "You will refine the instrument," Zhang Ruochen said.

  "I am the emperor who has slaughtered heaven and earth, is there anything in the world that I, the emperor, cannot accomplish?"

  Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment, took out the four-foot-long broken sword and handed it to Xiao Hei.

  Xiao Hei saw the ancient sword of the abyss, and his round eyes lit up.

  It grasped the hilt of the broken sword with its cat claws, jumped up and down from Zhang Ruochen's shoulder, and landed on the back of Xuehuajiao.

  "Whoosh whoosh"

  Carrying the ancient sword, Xiao Hei continuously swung out sword moves, with waves of sword energy flying towards the sky, emitting a whistling sound that broke through the wind.

  Its attainments in swordsmanship are also extremely high.

  "Zhang Ruochen, this sword is no ordinary one."

  Xiao Hei stopped, holding the heavy sword with both paws and said: "The sword body not only has basic inscriptions, but also intermediate and advanced inscriptions. At least a fifth-grade refiner is needed to continue the inscriptions in it. Moreover, only the basic inscription and intermediate inscription can be continued, and the advanced inscription cannot be continued at all."

  Even if it is a Nine-Grade True Martial Treasure with inscriptions, they are only primary inscriptions and do not have intermediate inscriptions.

  Only war troops beyond the True Martial Treasure Instrument can possess intermediate inscriptions and advanced inscriptions.

  "Can you continue or not?"

  "You can try it." Xiao: "With my current strength, I can only restore the 66 basic seals in the sword body. Once the 66 basic seals are restored, the power of this broken sword will reach the level of a 9th-grade True Martial Treasure."

  Upon hearing Xiao Hei's words, Zi Qing, who was standing beside him, was slightly shocked. "The power of that broken sword can reach the level of a 9th-tier True Martial Treasure."

  Each of the nine-tiered True Martial Treasures costs more than 10 million silver coins, and in Yunwu Commandery, there are only three. Two of them are in the royal family, serving as national war treasures.

  Many top-notch martial artists in the world of Jiuzhou only use seventh-grade True Martial Treasures, and those who possess ninth-grade True Martial Treasures are extremely rare.

  Xiao Hei stared at Zi Yan with disdain and said: "It's just a ninth-grade true martial treasure, what's the big deal?"

  Go find another master craftsman, Zhang Ruochen was indeed somewhat uneasy. If Xiao Hei could repair the Submerged Ancient Sword, that would be for the best.

  Zhang Ruochen temporarily handed over the ancient sword to Xiao Hei for repair and would return it to him afterwards.

  Although the problem of the Deep Abyss Ancient Sword had been resolved, Zhang Ruochen still planned to make a trip to the Tianmo Martial City.

  The Tianmo Martial City was established in the midst of the majestic mountains and towering peaks of the Tianmo Ridge, not belonging to any country. It was built by various sects, organizations, and forces within the Tianmo Ridge.

  At first, Tianmo Martial City was just a market established by various forces in the Tianmo Ridge, serving as a trading place for warriors.

  Later, the rise of the thirty-six counties and states cultivated more and more warriors, causing one super sect after another to appear in Tianmo Ridge.

  The warriors of various counties and countries entered the sect, joined the academy, and made the market more and more prosperous, gradually expanding, eventually becoming a city.

  The vast and boundless Tianmo Ridge, apart from the Wushi Academy, also has two fourth-grade forces, five fifth-grade forces, twelve sixth-grade forces, and thirty-six seventh-grade forces.

  At least one of the top forces in the world of martial arts can be called a "Seven Major Forces".

  Yún Wǔ Jùn Guó such inferior counties, roughly equivalent to a "sixth-tier power". Fāng Sì Jùn Guó those mid-tier counties, roughly equivalent to a "fifth-tier power".

  It must have a semi-sacred power to be called "four flow forces".

  The Wushu Academy is powerful, but on Tianmo Ridge, it's not the only one that can cover the sky. Those two fourth-rate powers are not much weaker than the Wushu Academy.

  Those two fourth-rate powers are: Yun Tai Zong Fu and Tai Qing Gong.

  Wu City Academy, Yuntai Sect and Taiqing Palace formed the three most powerful forces in the Tianmo Ridge region. Apart from these, the hidden Black Market and Baitou Demon Sect could also rival them.

  The inner palace of the Wushu Academy is built right in the middle of Tianmo Martial City. As long as one becomes an inner disciple of the Wushu Academy, they can bring their family to Tianmo Martial City and become a member of it.

  In addition, the Cloud Platform Sect and the Taiqing Palace were also established in Tianma Wujing City, forming a three-legged situation with the Wuxue Academy.

  Tianmo Martial City, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, masters are as numerous as clouds, the young generation of talented heroes is endless, it is absolutely the gathering place for warriors from the 36 states.
