Chapter 155
When Zhang Ruochen took the green wooden box, he felt a hint of cold on its surface .
The chill came from the pill inside the box, rather than the box itself .
While Zhang Ruochen was opening the green wooden box, the pill emitted a rich fragrance . Strands of white Pill Spirit burst out from the box like baby snakes .
He looked surprised when he saw the eight pills in the box . He exclaimed . "Icing Meridians Pills!"
"Do you recognize this type of pill?" Blackie was shocked .
Zhang Ruochen responded, "This kind of pill was very popular back in the Middle Ancient Times, but it had been monopolized by different powerful parties . No ordinary person could buy it in the market . I can't believe you can refine such a valuable pill!"
During the Middle Ancient Times, a lot of warriors refined their Meridians by taking Pills . It could enhance the tenacity of their Meridians, increase the activating speed of their Genuine Qi, and generate certain properties .
The Icing Meridians Pill, Fire Meridian Pill, Electric Meridians Pill, Wind Meridian Pill . . . All these pills were discovered and studied at that period of time and became widely popular among the warriors .
Taking the Icing Meridians Pill not only refined the Meridians but also generated the icy properties inside the Meridians . Once the warriors activated Genuine Qi, their bodies would turn into a frost conduit . They were able to freeze a river or mountain with just one palm .
On the other hand, the Fire Meridian Pill brought on the fire nature in the Meridians . When the warriors opened their mouths, they could spit out a blaze . When they lifted up their arms, they could use Genuine Qi to form a fireball . Some of the mature warriors could even use Genuine Qi to create a pair of fiery wings to fly in the sky .
If Zhang Ruochen became the internal student of the School of the Martial Market, he could exchange merits for the Icing Meridians Pill . However, he was still an external student at the moment, so he was not entitled to exchange many things, even if he had earned enough merits .
Since Blackie had refined the Icing Meridians Pill, it meant a lot to Zhang Ruochen's cultivation .
"The Icing Meridians Pill is suitable for the warriors with a frosty physique, but my Genuine Qi has a faint power of thunderbolt and a power of Time and Space . If you can refine the Electric Meridians Pill, it would be even better . " Zhang Ruochen closed the green wooden box and put it away .
Even though the Icing Meridians Pill was not as useful as the Electric Meridians Pill, it would still help Zhang Ruochen very much .
"The Electric Meridians Pill? Sure, why not?"
Blackie fell into deep thought as if he was recalling the formula of making the Electric Meridians Pill .
Zhang Ruochen was in no hurry to refine an Icing Meridians Pill . Anyhow, he had to leave for the School of the Martial Market the next day, and he wanted to spend some quality time with his mother, Concubine Lin, tonight .
He went to Jade Palace, where Concubine Lin lived .
"Mother, why don't you move to the School of the Martial Market with me? I'm worried about leaving you in the palace alone!" Zhang Ruochen expressed his concerns .
Concubine Lin clenched her jaw and stared at Zhang Ruochen, who had grown taller . She shook her head and said, "Chen-er, don't worry about me! I'm just an ordinary person in the palace . I cannot deny the fact that the Queen hates me, yet she wouldn't dare to threaten me . I've been living here for almost 20 years, I don't want to leave . . . "
Zhang Ruochen gasped slightly and asked, "Are you reluctant to leave the king?"
"He is your father!" Concubine Lin said .
Zhang Ruochen had to accept the fact that there was love between Concubine Lin and Yunwu Commandery Prince . If he took her to live at the School of the Martial Market, what would other people think about the Prince?
Zhang Ruochen was silent for a while . Then, he said, "Okay! I respect your choice, Mother . "
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen took out three jade bottles and a bag full of silver coins and Spiritual Crystals . He handed them over to Concubine Lin and said, "Mother, there are 300 Blood Pills inside these three jade bottles . All of them are First-Class Blood Pills that you can completely digest . It's probably impossible for you to develop as a warrior . But if you keep taking the Blood Pill, your physical quality will be stronger than ordinary people . "
"Also, there are 500 silver coins and 20 Spiritual Crystals in the bag . "
He could have left Concubine Lin more silver coins and pills . However, it might not be a good thing to leave too many silver coins and pills for her .
Huang Yanchen, who had been standing to the side walked up to Concubine Lin . She took off the phoenix-shaped jade necklace she was wearing, gave it to Concubine Lin, and said softly, "Aunt Lin, this is a Fire Cloud Jade which contains three defensive charms . If you are attacked, it can protect you three times . Moreover, if you wear it all the time, it can enhance your body as well as bring you peace of mind . "
If such valuable gift had been given by any other person, Concubine Lin would not have taken it . But since her son's fiancee was giving it to her, she accepted it happily .
After leaving Jade Palace, Zhang Ruochen suddenly stopped . He stared at Huang Yanchen and asked, "Senior sister apprentice, what are you doing?"
Huang Yanchen stood nearby and resumed her haughty attitude . She lifted her snow-white chin and said, "It's just a piece of jade . Why are you so fussy about it? Zhang Ruochen, there's one thing I need to clarify . I got engaged to you because I didn't have any other choice . When we go back to the School of the Martial Market, you are not allowed to tell anyone about our engagement . If I find out that there's a third person who knows about it, I'll kill you!"
Zhang Ruochen responded, "Too late! The news about our engagement has already spread all over . I'm sure the news has also scattered around the School of the Martial Market . "
Huang Yanchen said, "Even if it has spread around the School, you have to deny it . Other than that, we are only engaged . There are still three more years to go before we get married . You should have known that we can't really get married . We will both have to cancel our marriage in three years . What do you think?"
"No comment!" Zhang Ruochen replied .
Seeing how straightforward Zhang Ruochen was, Huang Yanchen was not pleased, but angry . She mumbled, "I hope you don't regret what you've said today three years from now . "
The next day, Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yanchen, and Zhang Shaochu made their way back to the School of the Martial Market .
Zhang Shaochu was anxious on the way back to the School . He followed behind them and did not dare to walk in front of Huang Yanchen .
Even though Zhang Shaochu had stayed in the School of the Martial Market for a year or so, the name, "Huang Yanchen," still hit his ears like a thunderclap . Every single one of the male students who heard her name was scared to death .
The title, "Three Devil Woman," was no joke .
Yet, Huang Yanchen turned out to be his ninth brother's fiancee . Zhang Shaochu feelings were complicated . He was happy but scared at the same time .
He was elated that no one dared to bully him in Western Campus anymore .
But his fear was that his ninth brother might not be able to handle Huang Yanchen, a truly formidable woman .
When they arrived at Western Campus, it had laready been 3 days . There were only two weeks left before the Intermediate Relic Exploration Test .
Back to Western Campus, Zhang Ruochen went to visit Duanmu Xingling . When he reached the Black No . 1, she was not there . He noticed that the table had a thin layer of dust as if she had been away for awhile .
Zhang Ruochen did not think too much about it . He was sure she would return before the Intermediate Relic Exploration Test .
Then, he went back to the Yellow No . 1 and entered the internal space of the Time and Space Spinel . He took out the Icing Meridians Pill from its green wooden box .
The box held eight Icing Meridians Pills . Each of them was a fourth-class pill, which emitted a piercing blast of cold air .
When Zhang Ruochen's fingertip brushed the Icing Meridians Pill, his finger froze . A thin layer of Ice Crystals fully covered his hand .
"It is indeed a fourth-class pill . How terrific!"
If Zhang Ruochen's cultivation was only to the Yellow Realm, the chill from the Icing Meridians Pill might have frozen half of his body .
He activated his Genuine Qi where it followed the Meridians into his five fingers .
"Crack!" The frost on his hand shattered .
Under a cloak of Genuine Qi, Zhang Ruochen took one of the Icing Meridians Pills and swallowed it .
An extremely cold Pill Spirit dissolved in his stomach . All of a sudden, he had a stabbing pain in his stomach, as if the Pill Spirit had frozen his five internal organs .
The chill was intense . It was 10 times colder than the first time Zhang Ruochen took the Half-Saint's Essence .
If other warriors at the Medium State of the Black Realm took the Icing Meridians Pill, they were seeking a certain death . The icy explosion of the Pill Spirit would freeze them to death instantaneously .
Although Zhang Ruochen was also one of the warriors at the Medium State of the Black Realm, his physical quality was far better than the warriors in the same realm . Moreover, when he was cultivating in the Yellow Realm, he had reached the Ultimate Realm and drawn Chord of Gods .
Drawing Chord of Gods had transformed Zhang Ruochen's Meridians and Qi Lake . Therefore, he could handle the Icing Meridians Pill .
"PHEW!
Zhang Ruochen activated all 36 Meridians and refined the Pill Spirit of the Icing Meridians Pill as fast as he could .
10 days later, he had completely refined the Pill Spirit . His body temperature eventually returned to normal, but his muscles and Meridians were still stiff .
He opened his eyes and let out a foggy breath .
"My body feels so heavy that I can't lift a finger!" Zhang Ruochen looked like a dead man frozen for thousands of years who had recently been awoken . Pins and needles tingled all over his body, which felt exceptionally heavy . Every movement was painful .
He struggled to stand up for a while and started practicing his palm technique .
By practicing the palm technique, he transferred the frost into his bones and Meridians in order to enhance his physical abilities .
If another warrior attacked him with an ice martial technique, he would be able to resist easily .
Zhang Ruochen released Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm again and again . He felt that his palm attacks were not only gaining power, they were also becoming faster .
The speed of Genuine Qi flowing through his Meridians had increased 30% .
The faster the Genuine Qi circulated, the stronger it exploded .
Zhang Ruochen spent another five days practicing palm techniques in the internal space of the Time and Space Spinel . He did not stop until the Genuine Qi in his body had been completely consumed . When he stopped, he took some pills to recover his Genuine Qi .
In these five days, Zhang Ruochen had refined the remaining Pill Spirit of the Icing Meridians Pill into his body . He had elevated his Martial Arts Realm to the Peak of the Medium State of the Black Realm .
The Genuine Qi of his Qi Lake was perfectly filled up . He was ready to break through to the Final State of the Black Realm at any time .
Zhang Ruochen spent 15 days practicing in the Time and Space Spinel, which was only five days in real life . He still had enough time to break through to other realms .
"Zhang Ruochen, Duanmu Xingling is here at the Yellow No . 1 . I've told her that you're in seclusion for refining . Do you want to meet her?" The voice of Blackie called out in the internal space of the Time and Space Spinel .
"Senior sister apprentice Duanmu is back? Maybe she has brought with her some sort of good news . Of course, I have to see her!" Knowing that Duanmu Xingling was back made Zhang Ruochen joyful, because he had a crush on her .
Suddenly, he thought of something .
Although he had spent some time with senior sister apprentice Duanmu since he entered Western Campus, he had never asked which commandery she came from .
Other than knowing that she was one of the external students of the School of the Martial Market, he knew nothing about her .
