Outer Palace students can also enter the Inner Palace Academy with a token.

  On the premise that they cannot disrupt the order of the Imperial Academy, nor are they qualified to listen to the lectures of the Tianji Boundary Elder, and at the same time, they cannot enter the Book Pavilion to study and cultivate ancient books.

  These are all squares

  At noon, the sun is high in the sky.

  A fist-sized black cat swaggered into the Imperial Academy of Inner Palace and came to a relatively quiet place.

  That black cat looked very ordinary and nobody noticed his existence at all.

  Xiao Hei's eyes scanned around and stopped in his tracks, saying in a low voice: "Zhang Ruochen, you can come out now."

  The time-space crystal pendant hanging from Xiao Hei's neck emitted a ring of white light.

  With a "whoosh" sound, a white light burst out of the crystal stone and landed on the ground, transforming into a young man in white clothes.

  That young man was naturally Zhang Ruochen.

  "Sure enough, she entered the Imperial Academy unnoticed."

  Zhang Ruochen's mouth corners carried a few points of smile, looked around at the surroundings, and then took a deep breath.

  The spiritual energy between heaven and earth flowed endlessly towards him, gathering at the Lake of Qi in his brow.

  "It's no wonder it's the Imperial Palace Academy, the spiritual energy is three times denser than that of the Western Academy."

  Zhang Ruochen's eyes were filled with a hint of expectation, also wanting to break through the extreme boundary as soon as possible and become an inner palace disciple.

  If he was willing, he could break through to the Earth Extreme Realm right now. However, his goal is the Supreme Extreme Realm of the Mystic Extreme Realm, and for now, he can only temporarily suppress the urge to break through the realm boundary.

  "The disciples in the Imperial Academy of Inner Palace, even the weakest ones have reached the Earth Extreme Realm. Any one of them who goes out will be considered a top-notch strong practitioner in the martial world and will be coveted by various forces."

  All students who can become inner disciples of Wushang Academy are first-rate geniuses, and almost everyone can cross a boundary to fight.

  People like Xun Gui Hai can even fight across two realms.

  For the martial artists of Yunwu County, the Inner Palace Academy of Wushu City is like a holy land of martial arts, a cradle of martial arts that everyone yearns for and aspires to.

  Zhang Ruochen arrived at Nei Gong Xue Fu and naturally had his own purpose. He headed directly towards the "Tong Sheng Mountain" of Nei Gong Xue Fu.

  "Tongsheng Mountain" is one of the important places for Nei Gong Xue Fu to cultivate, and there is a spiritual crystal mine in the mountain. The rich spiritual energy of Nei Gong Xue Fu comes from that spiritual crystal mine.

  It can be said that this spiritual crystal vein is the foundation of Wushizheng Academy.

  In Tongsheng Mountain, there are dozens of practice secret rooms set up.

  Each cultivation chamber is different, some are "Inferno Chambers", some are "Ice Chambers", some are "Thunderbolt Chambers", and some are "Hell Chambers".

  Zhang Ruochen went to Tongsheng Mountain, wanting to borrow the "Hurricane Secret Room" and use its special environment to help himself successfully cultivate the Wind Dragon Shadow faster.

  "No Entry for Outsiders in the Sacred Mountain"

  Zhang Ruochen arrived at the mountain gate of Tongsheng Mountain, just as he was about to enter the mountain, two dignified inner palace disciples walked out and stood on either side, blocking Zhang Ruochen's path.

  One of the inner palace disciples, who looked to be in his thirties, named Huo Sheng, with a goatee on his chin, gazed condescendingly at Zhang Ruochen and asked, "Who are you?"

  The number of inner disciples in Wushi Academy is not large, and almost everyone has a name and a reputation.

  Two inner disciples guarding Tongsheng Mountain had never seen Zhang Ruochen before and naturally would not allow him to enter Tongsheng Mountain.

  Zhang Ruochen took out the token of Wu City Academy and said: "I am an outer disciple of Wu City Academy."

  "So he was an Outer Sect disciple."

  The two inner disciples of the palace both showed a look of disdain, Huo Sheng looked Zhang Ruochen up and down, and said indifferently: "Tongsheng Mountain is not a place you should come to, leave quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite."

  Huo Sheng and Zhao Ming Gong were both in the middle of their cultivation in the Earthly Boundary, belonging to the high-ranking martial artists. Naturally, they didn't put an Outer Palace disciple at the Profound Extreme Realm in their eyes.

  Zhang Ruochen put away the token and said calmly, "As far as I know, outer palace disciples can also enter Tongsheng Mountain for cultivation. Why do you two masters want to block me at the door?"

  The two inner disciples guarding the mountain gate both burst out laughing.

  Zhao Ming said, "The Academy indeed has such a rule, but it is only for the top three students of the outer palace in each of the four institutes. If you have that kind of strength, we can let you enter Tongsheng Mountain right now. If you don't have that kind of strength, then you're just causing trouble on purpose, and we'll kill you. The Wushang Academy won't punish us for it either."

  They saw Zhang Ruochen as just a teenager, and naturally wouldn't believe that Zhang Ruochen would be one of the top three geniuses in the Four Institutes.

  Just then, a slender and elegant woman walked out of Tongsheng Mountain.

  She said from afar: "Huo Sheng, Zhao Ming Gong, you two are also too lacking in vision. Don't you know that the one standing before your eyes is the number one pride of the Western Academy?"

  Upon hearing the woman's voice, Huo Sheng and Zhao Ming were startled, immediately turned around, bowed to the woman, and said in unison: "Greetings, Sister Chen."

  Zhang Ruochen did not expect that in Wu City's Imperial Academy, there was also someone who recognized him. Looking at the woman, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

  She was an extremely beautiful woman, with a head of sapphire-blue long hair that reached down to her waist. On her hair bun, a small white delicate bell was tied up. As she walked, the bell emitted a clear and pleasant sound.

  Her figure is very tall and slender, with beautiful curves, a slim waist, and two straight legs that seem to be hiding in her skirt. Her appearance is somewhat similar to Huang Yanzhen's, but her temperament is completely different from Huang Yanzhen's, giving people a gentle and soft feeling, full of feminine charm.

  Zhang Ruochen had some impression of her, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but couldn't remember for a moment.

  While Zhang Ruochen was sizing her up, Chen Xier was also sizing up Zhang Ruochen.

  Chen Xier walked in front of Zhang Ruochen, a refined and beautiful face with an elegant smile, saying: "Zhang Shidi, you are going to enter Tongsheng Mountain for cultivation"

  Chen Xier was extremely beautiful, but Zhang Ruochen had seen many beauties before, so he seemed very calm.

  "Because I want to practice a martial skill, so I plan to borrow a training room."

  "After saying that, Zhang Ruochen said: "Have I and Shifu (martial sister) met somewhere before?"

  Chen Xier slightly rolled her eyes, somewhat resentfully saying: "Zhang Shidi is indeed a noble person who forgets things easily. Not long ago, we met at the Tianyue Building. Has Zhang Shidi already forgotten?"

  Chen Xier's voice is very pleasant, like a skylark, it is so beautiful that people can't help but indulge in her voice.

  Zhang Ruochen suddenly realized and finally remembered that he had indeed seen her once at the Tianyue Building, where she was sitting next to Huang Yanchen.

  Zhang Ruochen said: "I don't know what to call Shifu"

  Chen Xi'er smiled with her eyes narrowed and said, "My name is Chen Xi'er, and I'm also the cousin of Yundong County's young mistress. Logically speaking, I should call you Brother-in-law."

  In the distance, two inner palace disciples guarding the mountain gate saw Zhang Ruochen and Chen Xi'er chatting happily, and both of their eyes revealed a jealous expression.

  In Tianmo Wujing, there is a saying "Tianmo Top Ten Handsome Men" and "Tianmo Top Ten Beauties".

  Chen Xier is one of the "Ten Beauties of Tianmo", and many inner palace students regard her as their dream lover, with marrying Chen Xier as their cultivation goal.

  Normally, even if one is a top-notch inner palace disciple, they may not necessarily have the qualifications to exchange a single word with Chen Xie'er. What makes an outer palace disciple like you qualified to chat with her?

  Huo Sheng and Zhao Ming felt very unbalanced naturally.

  "It's just an outer palace disciple, what's so impressive?" Huo Sheng said in a low voice.

  "Zhang Shidi, if you want to enter Tongsheng Mountain for cultivation, you must spend merit points. Entering the cultivation chamber once will cost about 100 merit points. How many merit points do you have left?"

  Zhang Ruochen was taken aback and said, "To enter Tongsheng Mountain for cultivation, you need to spend merit points."

  Before entering the Red Void Secret Mansion, Zhang Ruochen had spent all his merit points, without leaving a single one.

  Chen Xier seemed to see Zhang Ruochen's predicament, her red lips slightly hooked, revealing snow-white teeth, and smiled: "If the younger brother's merit points are not enough, use mine. I can lend it to you first."

  "No need, I'll spend silver coins now to buy merit points." Zhang Ruochen didn't want to owe Chen Xier a favor.

  Buying merits with silver coins is the most uneconomical way.

  Generally speaking, one point of merit is equivalent to a thousand silver coins.

  If you use silver coins to buy merit points, it takes 2,000 silver coins to get a little bit of merit.

  So, in general, no one is willing to use silver coins to buy merit points. Because it's too loss-making.

  Chen Xi'er nodded and said, "Actually, there's another way. You can use items to exchange for merit points, which would be relatively cheaper. For example, a drop of Half Sacred True Liquid can be exchanged for 200 merit points."

  Zhang Ruochen's eyes lit up, using items to exchange for merit points was actually a pretty good idea.

  "Anyway, I'm free now, why don't I take you to Gongxun Tower?" Chen Xier said proactively.

  "Thank you, Teacher Chen."

  Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but sigh inwardly, Chen Xier and Huang Yanchen were cousins, but their personalities were much better than Huang Yanchen's, and they were also willing to help others.

  She is beautiful and has a good personality. Such a woman is really rare.

  Zhang Ruochen and Chen Xier walked side by side, chatting and laughing all the way, surprisingly having many common topics to discuss, gradually disappearing into Tongsheng Mountain, heading in the direction of Gonghui Tower.

  "Chen Shijie actually took that outer palace disciple to the Gongxun Tower" Huo Sheng was like a stone, feeling unbelievable.

  Chen Xier was the daughter of the Grand Palace Master of Wushang Academy, and she usually had an aloof attitude, not even putting people at the level of Tianmo's top ten in her eyes.

  Now, unexpectedly walking side by side with an outer palace disciple, laughing loudly, naturally shocking Ho Sheng and Zhao Ming Gong.

  Zhao Ming became even more jealous and coldly laughed: "That little brat actually dares to get so close to Sister Chen, truly not knowing life from death. In the Wushu Academy, how many talented and outstanding individuals have pursued Sister Chen? How could it possibly be his turn? Should we tell Left Shixiong about this?"

  "Tell Left Uncle about this and let him teach that little brat a lesson." Huo Sheng also revealed a cold smile.

  "The entire inner palace academy knows that Left Shixiong is pursuing Chen Shijie, if this matter were to be told to him, with his temper, he would definitely tear that outer palace student apart. Heh heh" Zhao Ming said.

  Huo Sheng stayed behind and continued to guard the mountain gate of Tongsheng Mountain.

  Zhao Ming Gong left Tongming Mountain and headed towards Zuo Leng Xuan's cultivation mansion to inform him of the matter.
