Zhang Ruochen's fingers touched the storage ring, and a burst of light flashed on the ring. A blood dan the size of a mud pellet appeared in his hand, which he handed to Hanshuo, letting her take it.

  Xue Dan is made from the fresh blood of a fierce beast, condensed and refined to contain extremely dense heat and spiritual energy.

  Even if it's just pinched in your hand, you can feel the heat emanating from the Blood Dan.

  After taking the Blood Dan, I felt like I had swallowed a flame. As it entered my body, the power of the Blood Dan seeped into my blood, like tiny flames spreading throughout my entire body, and all hunger and cold completely disappeared.

  Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "Blood Dan is a good thing, right?"

  Han Xue indeed felt very surprised, so she nodded and said: "Uh-huh"

  Zhang Ruochen said: "Do you regret using ten Blood Dan to ask those people to help you bury your mother?"

  Han Xue shook her head.

  "Good"

  He patted Han Xue's head, and Zhang Ruochen swept her small body into his arms, holding her in his bosom, treading on air, charging towards the giant red spider warship in the sky.

  After a moment, the two had already arrived at the cargo bay of the Red Spider's giant spaceship.

  Under Zhang Ruochen's control, the Red Spider Battleship flew again, far away from Lin'an County, and came to the sky above a sparsely populated great river.

  The volume of the Red Spider Giant Ship was too large, even a storage ring couldn't hold it. Zhang Ruo Chen could only hide the Red Spider Giant Ship at the bottom of a large river and leave a mark before bringing Han Xue to the largest city in the southern border of the Four Sides State, Dashi City.

  The combat power of the Red Spider Giant Ship is extremely strong, enough to crush the martial arts legends of the Tianji Realm. Hide it for now, and who knows when it will come in handy later.

  Dashi City is not far from Lin'an County, only 500 miles apart. With Zhang Ruochen's cultivation, he didn't even burst out his fastest speed and only used an hour to walk into this big city.

  Compared to Lin'an County, Dashigcheng is majestic, with high and grand city walls, a large population, and even in the cold winter, many warriors riding fierce beasts can be seen rushing along the wide streets, or nobles driving luxurious carriages, followed by groups of slaves and guards.

  This world has a huge wealth gap. Those with money can activate the Divine Martial Mark, possess abundant resources, and cultivate martial arts. Those without money, even if they have talent, may not receive good nurturing and find it difficult to compare with princes, young ladies of noble families, and aristocratic children.

  So the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

  The Poisonous Spider Merchant Association has a considerable amount of power in the Four Sides State, but on the surface, the Wu City Money House still controls half of the economy of the Four Sides State. The money house, shops and Wu City Arena are scattered throughout every large and small city in the Four Sides State.

  Zhang Ruochen's face was covered with a metal mask, wearing a simple white robe, holding Han Xue's hand, and heading straight to the Wu Shi Money House in Dashigou City.

  Hua Minggong and Mu Qing's deaths in Lin'an County will soon reach the Poisonous Spider Merchant Guild, so Zhang Ruochen must be careful.

  Arriving at Dashishi City, Zhang Ruochen had something extremely important and dangerous to attend to, so he planned to settle down Hanshu first.

  The Sifang State is a medium-sized state, with overall national strength more than ten times that of the Yunwu State. Even if the other eight states in Lingxi were added together, they might not be a match for the Sifang State.

  The national strength of a county is first reflected in the number of strong people.

  The Tianji Realm martial artists of Yunwu County, all in all, numbered only a dozen or so.

  However, according to the statistics of Wushi Qianzhuang, there are as many as 132 Tianji Boundary warriors in the four-party county. The degree of prosperity is not comparable to that of lower-ranking counties at all.

  Dashi City, as the first city of the southern border of the four-party state, has a permanent population of up to one million, and naturally there are many martial arts masters living in Dashi City.

  Arriving at the Wu City Money House, Zhang Ruochen took out the token of the inner palace scholars of the Wu City Imperial Academy and the guards standing outside the gate immediately knelt down to pay their respects. He then rushed into the money house to report to the executive officer.

  The steward of the Dashi City Wu's money house was an extremely powerful and majestic old man named Zhao Jing. He checked Zhang Ruochen's token once, then immediately invited Zhang Ruochen into a warm pavilion in the money house and ordered the maid to serve the best hot tea.

  Students of the Martial City Academies, and especially those of the Inner Academy, can enjoy special treatment at any branch of the Martial City Bank, and can even withdraw a certain amount of money as expenses.

  Inner Palace disciples can dine and stay for free at the wine house opened by Wu City Qianzhuang; when purchasing cultivation resources at Wu City Qianzhuang's store, they can enjoy half price; even if they go to Wu City Arena to watch a martial arts competition, they can directly sit in the VIP seat.

  "I was once an outer palace student of the Wushang Academy, but unfortunately my natural talent was too poor and I couldn't enter the inner palace school. Now I can only serve as a steward in Dashicheng, making you laugh, young master." Zhao Jing said with a smile.

  Before the age of thirty, if one cannot reach the extreme state, they are not qualified to enter the Nei Gong Academy for cultivation. This is Zhao Jing's lifelong regret.

  Zhao Jing didn't break through to the early stages of the Earthly Boundary until he was thirty-five years old.

  Now he is already eighty years old and has just reached the extreme boundary of the Great Perfection, with almost no hope of breaking through to the Heavenly Boundary.

  Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "Zhao Shixiong, I have come to Wushi Money House this time with a request."

  One "younger brother", one "older brother", brought their relationship much closer.

  Zhao Jing smiled and said: "We are all doing things for the Wu City Money House, why be so polite? What's the matter with you, young master? Just tell me, and I'll send someone to take care of it right away."

  Zhang Ruochen pointed at the snow and said, "I'd like to ask Brother Han to send someone to escort this little girl to Tianmo Martial City and hand her over to Duanmu Xingling, a student of the Inner Palace Academy. Please tell her that this little girl is Chen Ruochen's disciple and I hope she can take care of her for a while."

  Zhang Ruochen asked Duanmu Xingling to help take care of Hanshuo, rather than handing him over to Huang Yanchen, after some consideration.

  Han Xue's parents had passed away, and it was the saddest time. With Duanmu Xingling's eccentric and whimsical personality, she should have been able to help Han Xue quickly get over her grief and avoid leaving a shadow on her childhood.

  Moreover, Zhang Ruochen was certain that Xiao Hei must also be with Duanmu Xingling.

  Xiao Hei's origin is mysterious, not only can it set up arrays, but also refine pills and instruments, it can be said that it is proficient in everything. It must be able to discover Han Xue's thousand bone physique, maybe it can teach Han Xue some things, best of all, it can help Han Xue lay the foundation.

  Zhao Jing heard the two words "Chen Ruo" and his whole body shook, staring at Zhang Ruochen with a few more points of reverence in his eyes, hastily agreeing, saying: "It's just a small matter, coincidentally today I'm sending someone to transport a batch of Lingjing to Tianmo Wucheng, we can take her along."

  "Thank you, brother, for your help." Zhang Ruochen said with a fist bump.

  The warrior will store the silver coins and spirit crystals in various branches of the Wu City Money House. When the silver coins and spirit crystals reach a certain amount, the Wu City Money House will dispatch an expert to escort the silver coins and spirit crystals to the headquarters of the Tianmo Martial City.

  Outer and inner disciples of Wu Shi Xue Gong often receive such escort missions, which can earn them merit points as rewards.

  After sending off the cold snow, Zhang Ruochen gave Zhao Jing a look.

  Zhao Jing nodded in understanding and led Zhang Ruochen into a secret chamber, expelling all the guards and servants.

  Zhao Jing's expression turned solemn as he bowed to Zhang Ruochen and said, "Greetings, Lord Chen Ruochen."

  Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, "Zhao Shixiong, no need to be so polite."

  Zhao Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I didn't know your identity earlier, I actually dared to call myself your senior brother, Zhao is truly ashamed."

  Now, everyone knows that Chen Ruo is the secret disciple of the Silver Robe Elder's Hall Master. What a noble status! Zhao Jing is just a small executive, how dare he offend the secret disciple of Lei Gong?

  "Zhao Shixiong, after all, you were also a student of Wushi Academy, and my senior, so you deserve to be called Shixiong." Zhang Ruochen said.

  Zhao Jing saw Zhang Ruochen being so easy-going and felt a bit closer to him, smiling: "Younger brother indeed lives up to being the secret disciple of Leigang's master, I admire you. Younger brother, this time coming to Dashicheng, there must be something very important, right?"

  Zhang Ruochen nodded and asked: "Since Shixiong is the executive of Dashiguo, he should be very familiar with the four counties. I wonder if you have heard of a person called Zhenjunhou?"

  Marquis Who Pacifies the Army

  Zhao Jing's face changed, and he said: "Zhenjun Hou, Huo Yundou is a member of the royal family of the Four Sides Kingdom, the younger brother of the King of the Four Sides, with martial arts skills that have reached the Tianji boundary. He commands 300,000 troops on the southern border and is a formidable figure. Could it be that Huo Yundou has offended his master's younger brother, or else reported to the Wu City Money House, letting the owner send someone to deal with Huo Yundou?"

  Chen Ruo is actually the secretly transmitted disciple of Lei Ge's master, and Hao Yun's guts are too big, he actually dares to offend him, isn't he looking for death?

  The Martial Arts Legend of Tianji Boundary

  If Lei Gongzi wanted to kill him, it would be a matter of just one sentence.

  Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, "Don't move Huo Yundou for the time being. There are some things I haven't investigated clearly yet, so as not to alarm the enemy. By the way, there should be a black market in Dashi City too. Where is it? I want to go there."

  Zhao Jing advised, "The black market in Dashiguo is extremely powerful, especially the Poisonous Spider Merchant Association. They have even suppressed the Wushi Money House. The person in charge of the Poisonous Spider Merchant Association in Dashiguo, Mu Qing, is a strong expert at the Tianji boundary. He controls a giant red spider ship and can be considered the number one figure in the black market of Dashiguo. Younger brother, if it's not necessary, it's best not to take risks and go to the black market."

  Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "If it's not something important, why would I go to the Black Market, brother? Tell me the location of the Black Market, I have my own judgment."

  Zhao Jing knew that "Chen Ruo" was a secretly transmitted disciple of Lei Gongzhu, with great strength. As long as he didn't encounter Mu Qing, there shouldn't be any danger, so he stopped persuading him.

  Zhao Jing not only told Zhang Ruochen the location of the black market, but also dispatched a martial artist from the Wu City Money House who was lurking in the black market to serve as a guide and lead Zhang Ruochen to the black market.

  Without a guide, a stranger entering the black market alone is quite a dangerous thing.
