Huangxiu

Chapter 246 Eighth Level
"Hmph." A cold snort came from a distance.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and ignored it.

Xiao Ruoling felt a little embarrassed and pushed him gently.

Chu Zhiyuan then let her go, still holding her soft hand.

A girl in white clothes as white as snow floated over from afar, with a veil covering her face, bright eyes and cold eyebrows shrouded in arrogance.

"Junior Sister Shen, this is the prince." Xiao Ruoling said with a smile, "I have seen him before."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's as if I didn't see you."

"Humph, what's there to see!" Shen Hanyue pouted and said, "You are not worthy of Senior Sister Xiao at all."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "If I'm not worthy of her, then who can be worthy of her?"

"No one deserves it!"

“Well, Ruoling’s brother thought the same thing at the beginning.” Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: “They all thought that I was not worthy of the fairy Ruoling… I heard that you have superb swordsmanship.”

Shen Hanyue smiled proudly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Your talent is also top-notch. We are about the same age, right? What realm are you in?"

"Grandmaster level one!" Shen Hanyue was even more proud, and raised his chin slightly: "It will be the second level soon!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Well, the first level."

"Hmph, what level are you in?"

"The seventh heaven. After we go back this time, I will probably be able to reach the eighth heaven." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"...did you use the elixir?" Shen Hanyue said: "I didn't use the elixir!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I did use some of the meridian strengthening elixirs."

Shen Hanyue was immediately pleased: "No wonder."

"Your elixir is useless?"

"Of course!"

“I admire you.” Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded. “When I was twenty years old and entered the Xiantian realm, even one elixir was useless. My progress was indeed slow. No matter how fast I go, it won’t be much faster.”

Shen Hanyue became more and more proud.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Then you can use the elixir freely from now on, right?"

"That's right." Shen Hanyue snorted, "We will catch up with you soon!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Congratulations to you guys, by the way, are you two saints tied for the same rank? Who's the main one and who's the assistant?"

"I am the senior sister, and I will be the master for now." Xiao Ruoling said, "If I am not here, Junior Sister Shen can also take charge."

"Not bad, not bad." Chu Zhiyuan agreed: "Miss Shen, if you study hard, you will be able to take over as soon as possible."

Shen Hanyue snorted: "Why rush? It's still early."

Xiao Ruoling was very frank and told the Palace Master and several elders about her plan directly.

Since they are two saints, she will only stay for a period of time. In no more than a year, she will marry into the Prince Qing's Mansion and become the Crown Prince's Consort.

This also fulfilled the agreement between Yaoyue Palace and Taizu.

So Shen Hanyue should still be the main one.

But Shen Hanyue was still too young and needed experience and training, so she followed Xiao Ruoling to learn.

As the daughter of the Duke of Anguo, Xiao Ruoling is very skilled in managing people and affairs, and is qualified for the position of Saint Maiden.

What's more, the Saint also assists the Palace Master.

Chu Zhiyuan sighed: "As a saint, what should I do next?"

Xiao Ruoling said: "We need to go to Jiuli Divine Religion first."

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

"After the Jiuli Divine Sect, we have to go to the Wuyou Divine Sect and the Yongling Divine Sect."

“Do you have to go through all of them?”

"If you want to pay a visit to the other three sects, you should at least show your face and let them know about the new Saint."

“The Eternal Spiritual Sect…” Chu Zhiyuan frowned and said, “Grandfather Huang just dealt a heavy blow to the Eternal Spiritual Sect. Be careful.”

"I am a saint. If they don't want to quarrel with us, Yaoyue Palace, they won't dare to do anything."

"I hope so." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He has always had a special fear of the Eternal Spirit Cult.

It may be because the spirits of the Yongling Sect can awaken memories of past lives.

I have awakened the memories of my past life, so I don't want to have any contact with the Eternal Spirit Sect.

He had a vague worry: Was he a spirit?
I was able to awaken to the mystery in the womb and remember my past life. Is it because the soul of my past life experienced a change when it traveled to this world?
Is it true?
Is there another possibility?
Therefore, the farther away from the Eternal Spiritual Religion, the better.

"In fact, the real trouble comes from the Worry-Free Cult." Xiao Ruoling said softly, "They are the most difficult to deal with."

"The Wuyou Sect is so powerful in poisoning?"

"It's impossible to prevent it, and it kills people invisibly."

"Senior Sister, no matter how powerful their poison is, it can't do anything to us Taiyin practitioners." Shen Hanyue said proudly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

Shen Hanyue frowned and glared at him in dissatisfaction.

Xiao Ruoling said: "Junior sister, you can't say such things to others, lest others know about it."

"He won't tell anyone."

"We still have to avoid the possibility of walls having ears." Xiao Ruoling said softly, "There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world."

"Okay." Shen Hanyue nodded helplessly. She felt that she had just left her mother and now she had a sister who controlled her, and she had to listen to her.

Senior Sister Xiao is very nice, but she can be annoying sometimes.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Xiao Ruoling pondered.

"No!" Shen Hanyue's eyes widened, and then she curled her lips: "We are a group of disciples going there, how can you, a man, be included? Wouldn't it tarnish the reputation of our Yaoyue Palace?"

Xiao Ruoling looked at Chu Zhiyuan helplessly.

She was actually very tempted.

It would be more interesting if I could go with Chu Zhiyuan and ride horses together.

However, when I thought about having to follow the disciples of Yaoyue Palace around, it was indeed not suitable to have Chu Zhiyuan.

She sighed softly: "I won't be back until a month later."

"Then go ahead." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "I'll come back to see you in a month."

Xiao Ruoling nodded slowly, her bright eyes blurred.

Chu Zhiyuan let go of her jade hand and said with a smile: "Then I will go. See you in a month."

As he spoke, he jumped onto the Heavenly Dragon Horse, waved his hands, and turned into two golden lights and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Ruoling felt lost, staring into the distance until she could no longer see anything.

Shen Hanyue pouted as she watched from the side.

Xiao Ruoling stared at the direction where Chu Zhiyuan disappeared, and was reluctant to move.

Shen Hanyue couldn't help it: "Senior Sister, is he really that good? He's just a stinky man."

Xiao Ruoling looked back at her, smiled and shook her head.

Shen Hanyue snorted, "Even if he is the prince, he is still a stinky man. I really don't understand what's good about him."

Xiao Ruoling said: "Junior sister, let's go, we still need to count the miraculous elixirs and magical herbs in the sect."

"Oh..." Shen Hanyue suddenly had a headache and looked painful.

She would rather practice martial arts in seclusion than deal with these trivial matters.

How many elixirs are there in Guanzong? There are people in charge. You can just ask them directly. Why bother counting them yourself?

There are also spiritual herbs. How can we count so many of them?
It’s really not easy to be a saint!
……

Chu Zhiyuan sat on the couch in the Tingtao courtyard, looking at the three tongtian grasses with a smile on his face.

He had just returned from the Duke of Anguo's Mansion. After bringing them the news about Xiao Ruoling, he couldn't wait to come back to see these three stalks of Tongtian grass.

After looking at them for a while, he stuffed all three into his mouth.

……

Half an hour later, he opened his eyes and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The three times black flames were slowly merged with the aura of the Dragon Transformation Technique, and the meridians were strengthened by one tenth.

This one-tenth is different from the original one-tenth, and the strengthening effect is indeed powerful.

He was now confident that he could break through the seventh-floor bronze tower and enter the eighth level.

Do it when you think of it, strike while the iron is hot.

……

When he woke up the next morning, he let out a long roar, alarming the entire palace.

Then I realized that the prince had made another breakthrough.

The prince's practice is really improving by leaps and bounds. He has reached the Grandmaster level and is still making such rapid progress. It is really incredible.

Nowadays, life in the palace is getting better and better.

It is thriving and flourishing. As a member of the royal palace, I have a full sense of this.

When Chu Zhiyuan arrived at Mingwu Palace, Chu Qingfeng looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and clasped his fists, saying nonchalantly that he had indeed entered the eighth heaven.

"How did you enter another level of heaven?"

"There's nothing we can do. Ruo Ling got some spiritual herbs to strengthen the meridians."

"...What luck you have!" Chu Qingfeng was helpless.

Originally, one had to make meritorious deeds to exchange for dragon blood stones, dragon fat incense, dragon bones, etc., but now that the woman has become a saint, she has a huge amount of resources for cultivation.

Given his temper, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to do anything for the court and make meritorious contributions. He will definitely just live a lazy life and devote all his energy to spiritual practice.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “It gets harder as you go further. Even the ninth level, plus the Grandmaster’s Perfection, isn’t that easy anymore.”

He could feel the difficulty of reaching the Ninth Heaven and Grandmaster's perfection, and a sense of despair was faintly rising in his mind.

Even with the help of the strange stone, the practice of Zi Yang Sutra is faster, while the effect of Tong Tian Cao is weakened.

In the end, it still depends on hard work.

This made him, who was used to rapid progress, feel very uncomfortable.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

He can adjust his mentality, but mentality is mentality, mood is mood, and ultimately they cannot overcome human nature.

“You can’t just bury your head in practice. You still need to gain more experience.” Chu Qingfeng said.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Uncle, there is only a war in the northern border right now, everything else is fine, right? Everything is calm and peaceful."

"Hmph, the matter of Baiyun Sword Palace is very troublesome." Chu Qingfeng shook his head.
