Zhang Ruochen originally left the palace one step ahead of Ning Shangshu, but met Tuoba Linsu halfway.

  Tuoba Linsu presented a seven-tiered Zhenwu treasure sword to Zhang Ruochen, and then took him to the most luxurious wine house in Qianshui Wang City for a drink.

  When Zhang Ruochen finished drinking, it was almost evening. When he returned to the manor, Yun Wugong Wang had already been taken into the palace by Ning Shangshu.

  Although he had been drinking, Zhang Ruochen's mind was still very clear. He took out the war sword that Tuoba Zhenren had given him and with a "hua" sound, he drew it out of its scabbard.

  "Wow"

  A sharp white light emanated from the sword

  Faintly, Zhang Ruochen heard the dragon's hum in his sword.

  Zhang Ruochen saw three words engraved on the hilt and read them out: "Snow Dragon Sword"

  The Snow Dragon Sword is four feet seven inches long, two fingers wide, the hilt is shaped like a dragon's head, and the tip is shaped like a dragon's tail.

  There are forty inscriptions on the sword body, thirty of which are "ice" system patterns and ten of which are "light" system patterns.

  Tuoba Linsu was indeed generous, directly giving a seven-tiered true martial treasure-level sword, this gift is too precious.

  Zhang Ruochen used his true energy and infused it into the sword body while also activating the seventeen ice-elemental seals within the Snow Dragon Sword.

  With his current cultivation, he can only simultaneously activate seventeen seals at most. If he wants to forcibly activate more seals, he will definitely not be able to control such a powerful force. If he is slightly careless, the power of the seal will instead harm him.

  "Heavenly Heart Points the Way"

  "Tian Xin Jian Zhong"

  "Full Moon in Heaven's Heart"

  He danced with his sword under the moonlight, emitting a chilling aura from the blade, condensing into white snowflakes in the air that drifted away with the wind.

  Half an hour later, Zhang Ruochen's true energy was greatly consumed, and the wound on his chest also sent a surge of pain, so he stopped.

  "When Duanmu Shijie displays her sword moves, she can create a ten-zhang flying snow. Although I can now condense snowflakes, compared to Duanmu Shijie, I still fall short by too much." Zhang Ruochen gently shook his head, becoming even more aware of the inadequacy of his current martial arts cultivation.

  "If I can break through to the Xuanji Realm's Dajibei, perhaps I can also achieve the level of flying snow for ten zhang."

  Zhang Ruochen covered the wound on his chest, took a healing pill and entered the Time-Space Crystal to start recovering.

  After about a day and night of recuperation in the Time-Space Crystal, combined with the medicinal effects of the elixir, Zhang Ruochen's injuries finally healed.

  When he walked out of the Time-Space Crystal, it was already early morning on the second day.

  After his injuries healed, Zhang Ruochen resumed practicing swordplay and cultivating the seventh move of the Tian Xin Sword Art: Tian Xin Suo Kong.

  He had no distracting thoughts, fully devoting his body and mind to the practice of swordsmanship. As for his marriage with Huang Yanchen, it was naturally left to Yun Wugong Wang to take care of.

  Since reaching the peak of Jian Sui Xin Zou, Zhang Ruochen's cultivation speed has been quite fast. He spent only one month to learn the remaining six moves of Tianxin Swordsmanship.

  Up until now, Zhang Ruochen had successfully cultivated the entire set of Twelve Moves of the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique, fusing them together seamlessly to reach the realm of Great Perfection.

  After successfully cultivating the entire Tianxin Swordsmanship, the sword's power seems to have increased significantly, and the connection between the sword moves is even more smooth.

  This is the Great Achievement; going further is Transcendence.

  It's easy to cultivate a set of swordsmanship to perfection, but it's quite difficult to cultivate it to the point of sublimation. All we can do is wait for the future and let the swordsmanship reach a higher level in continuous use.

  For a month, Zhang Ruochen not only practiced swordsmanship but also refined ten and a half sacred true liquids. With the help of elixirs, the true energy in Zhang Ruochen's Qi Lake had already reached 70% of its capacity. The peak of the Extreme Realm was no longer far away.

  Since the marriage of Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen was spread, it caused a great sensation in Qian Shui Wang City. People came to visit one after another, including the door people of the top ten powers and the kings of various counties.

  Of course, Zhang Ruochen didn't bother to pay attention to these matters and focused on practicing his swordsmanship. It was only natural that the Cloud Martial Prince would go to receive those royal descendants from the Qian Shui Kingdom.

  Yesterday, Duke Sifang personally came to apologize and also sent a large number of precious treasures, hoping to get the forgiveness of Duke Yunwu.

  At the same time, the King of Sip Song Chau also promised that after returning to his country, he would immediately withdraw troops from Van Lang and return all the cities, money and civilians that had been occupied.

  Yunwu County King did not express his attitude and did not accept the treasures sent by Sifang County King, and very rudely sent Sifang County King away.

  Now, Yunwu County and Qianshui County are in a relationship of intermarriage. The one who was married is the lord of Yanchen County. Since the king of Yunwu County already has a bargaining chip for negotiation, how can he let go of the king of Sifang County so easily?

  The four-sided king is now afraid

  The Duke of Sifang returned with a nervous heart, and the next day he came to visit the Duke of Yunwu again, bringing more treasures and promising more benefits.

  The Prince of Yunwu finally agreed to negotiate with the Prince of Sifang. They closed the gate and began discussing a specific compensation agreement.

  Zhang Ruochen did not know how many cities the Four Sides King had compensated to Yunwu State, but he saw that when the Four Sides King left, his face was even more unsightly than a bitter melon.

  On the contrary, laughter came from inside the room of Yunwu County King: "Jiuer, we will return to Yunwu County today"

  "Alright then"

  Zhang Ruochen sheathed his sword and didn't want to stay in Qian Shui Wang City anymore. He prepared to return to Wu Shi Academy.

  With only twenty days left until the intermediate ruins exploration exam, Zhang Ruochen prepared to return to the academy earlier, focus on his cultivation and strive to break through to the Profound Extreme Realm's Great Extreme Position before the exam.

  "If one reaches the extreme realm of the Great Extreme Position, they can go challenge the Mystic List, but it's unknown what ranking they'll achieve on the Mystic List"

  Of course, before returning to Wumiao Academy, I must first return to Yunwu Commandery.

  If it's possible to bring Mother to the Wu City Academy, that would be for the best. Actually, the key still lies in whether or not Mother is willing to leave with him.

  When they arrived at the Qian Shui Wang City, the Yun Wu Jun Wang brought a total of twenty boxes of treasures. However, when they returned, they took back fifty boxes of treasures, most of which were compensation gifts from the Si Fang Jun Wang and other visiting guests' presents.

  All in all, this trip to Qian Shui Wang Cheng was a huge harvest for Yun Wu Jun Wang, and he felt extremely delighted.

  Moreover, he also intermarried with the Qianshui Commandery of the Han Dynasty.

  With the support of Qian Shui Prefecture, King Yunwu has confidence in developing Yunwu Prefecture into a medium-sized prefecture.

  Twenty armor-clad soldiers were lifting box after box of heavy treasure onto the back of a golden-feathered creature.

  Zhang Ruochen held Snow Dragon Sword and stood under Golden Winged Eagle, his body was much smaller than the eagle's claws.

  Behind him, a voice came from the yellow smoke and dust, saying: "Zhang Ruocheng, the county master also wants to return to Wumeng Academy, can we travel together?"

  Zhang Ruochen had not yet responded when the Prince of Yunwu stepped forward and stood before Huang Yanchen, smiling: "If the Princess is willing to travel with us, I would be delighted."

  Huang Yanchen looked at Yun Wugong Wang, nodded in satisfaction, and launched the Wind Dragon Shadow's movement technique, flying into the sky and landing steadily on the back of the Golden Feathered Bird.

  Half a month ago, Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen had already completed their engagement, as for the wedding date, it was set three years later.

  That is to say, Huang Yanchen can now be considered Zhang Ruochen's fiancée, and the relationship between the two has become somewhat strange.

  Two days later, Yunwu Junwang, Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen returned to Yunwu Jun country.

  Because of Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen's marriage, it had already been transmitted back to Yunwu Commandery, so when they arrived at the imperial palace, a grand welcoming ceremony was already prepared.

  Everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere, especially Zhang Ruochen's mother, Lin Fei. When she saw Huang Yanchen, she liked him so much that she couldn't help herself.

  What surprised Zhang Ruochen even more was that Huang Yanchen also showed a very gentle and amiable side, tightly holding Princess Lin's hand, looking very filial.

  Zhang Ruochen could only shake his head and sigh, this Huang Shijie was really good at pretending.

  At the welcoming ceremony, Zhang Ruochen was the only one who didn't see Wang Hou Niang Niang.

  It was actually within Zhang Ruochen's expectations, after all, he had married the princess of Qian Shui County, and it would be strange if the queen mother wasn't happy.

  Zhang Ruochen stood behind Lin Fei, saw Xiao Hei and picked him up. With a very serious expression, he asked: "Xiao Hei, during the time I was away, did anyone harm Mother?"

  Zhang Ruochen and Yun Wugong Wang went to Qianshui Jun Guo, in order to prevent the Queen from harming Lin Fei, let Xiao Hei stay behind to protect Lin Fei's safety.

  Xiao Hei shook his chubby head and said, "Without Zhang Ruochen, you're just overthinking, that's why you're so tense. You need to understand, in the eyes of that Queen Mother, you are the biggest threat, as for your mother, she's just an ordinary person, not a threat to her at all. If she were to harm your mother, it would only enrage the Cloud Martial Duke. That Queen Mother wouldn't do something so foolish."

  Zhang Ruochen's eyes were uncertain, and he nodded, saying: "You're right, as long as the King of Yunwu is still alive, the Queen will not dare to lay a hand on my mother."

  "You're just too close to the situation and too worried about Lin Fei's safety, so you can't see the key to the problem."

  Xiao Hei continued, "Now that you're engaged to the princess of Qian Shui Prefecture, the king of Yun Wu Prefecture will value you even more and treat your mother better. Don't worry, what you should focus on now is improving your martial arts skills. As long as you become an inner disciple of Wujing Academy, anyone who wants to kill you in the future will have to carefully consider whether they can withstand the wrath of the Wujing Bank."

  Zhang Ruochen said, "Tomorrow I will return to Wumeng Academy, calm my mind and cultivate, prepare for the intermediate relic exploration exam."

  Xiao Hei took out a small, blue wooden box and let out a mysterious laugh, saying: "This is a kind of elixir I refined according to an ancient alchemy formula. It might be able to lend you a helping hand."

  "The elixir you refined"

  Zhang Ruochen's eyebrows rose, staring at the cyan wooden box, revealing a puzzled expression.
