Chapter 7

Zhang Ruochen did not show any emotional fluctuation, and said indifferently, "Then I congratulate my cousin. From now on, we will be even closer."

After saying this, Zhang Ruochen turned and left.

During their first meeting, Zhang Ruochen did not have a good impression of his beautiful and charming cousin. They did not get along well, and he felt somewhat bored, so he left.

Seeing that Zhang Ruochen had no reaction at all, all the young warriors from the Lin family were greatly disappointed.

How could it be like this?

Seeing Zhang Ruochen's indifferent attitude, Lin Ningshan felt a bit disappointed. Staring at Zhang Ruochen's back as he turned to leave, she said somewhat unwillingly, "Don't you want to know the reason?"

Zhang Ruochen was genuinely not interested in who Lin Ningshan was engaged to, but since she insisted on telling him, he naturally stopped and nodded lightly, "I will definitely be there to congratulate you when you get engaged. If there's nothing else, I'll go see my mother."

Just as he said this, Zhang Ruochen saw Lin Fei come out from the inner courtyard of the Lin residence.

Lin Fei's eyes were slightly red, clearly having just cried. Although she had wiped away her tears, how could she hide it from Zhang Ruochen?

Zhang Ruochen immediately went up to her and asked with concern, "Mother, what's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

Lin Fei shook her head and said, "Nothing, let's go back!"

How could it be nothing, looking at Lin Fei's appearance?

After meeting Lin Ningshan, Zhang Ruochen had no good feelings towards the Lin family.

Seeing Lin Fei's current state, Zhang Ruochen's dislike for the Lin family grew even more.

"Hold it!"

Lin Fengxian, with his hands behind his back, came out from the inner courtyard and glanced at Zhang Ruochen indifferently. He took out a scroll of ancient animal skin from his sleeve and said, "This is a set of human-grade lower-level cultivation technique, 'Tai E Decision.' It can open seven meridians. Take it and cultivate. Although it's not a profound cultivation technique, it should be enough to complete the marrow washing and meridian opening for you."

Then, Lin Fengxian ordered someone to bring two bottles of marrow washing liquid and said coldly, "Since you have our Lin family's blood in you, take these two bottles of marrow washing liquid as well!"

Lin Fei stared deeply at Lin Fengxian, showing a grateful look, and immediately pulled Zhang Ruochen's hand, saying, "Dust, don't you thank your uncle?"

Zhang Ruochen, seeing Lin Fengxian's condescending attitude, felt very displeased. No wonder his mother's eyes were red. She must have suffered a lot to get this cultivation technique from him.

"We don't need their charity, Mother, let's go!" Zhang Ruochen did not even look at the cultivation technique and marrow washing liquid that Lin Fengxian had taken out, and pulled Lin Fei to leave the Lin residence.

"Refusing charity, really thinking he's a prince." All the young warriors from the Lin family sneered and laughed coldly.

Lin Ningshan stared at the young man who resolutely walked out of the Lin residence, feeling even more surprised. She always felt that her once weak cousin seemed to have changed somewhat.

"Having activated the Divine Martial Mark, he naturally became a bit more resolute. However, he doesn't know that activating it at sixteen is already past the golden age of martial cultivation. Why think so much? In the future, we are destined to be from two different worlds."

Lin Ningshan sighed and returned to the training ground, continuing her cultivation.

After leaving the Lin residence, Lin Fei said, "Dust, you were too impulsive. As long as you can become a martial artist and strengthen your body through martial arts, I don't mind suffering any humiliation."

Zhang Ruochen stood straight, turned around, and stared at the golden plaque with "Lin Residence" inscribed on it, and said firmly, "Mother, rest assured! Even without the Lin family's charity, I can still become a martial artist, and a strong one at that."

Lin Fei sighed softly and did not continue. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and said, "Dust, you already know that Ningshan and the Seventh Prince are going to be engaged, right? Don't be too sad!"

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "Mother, rest assured! There are many good women in the world, and there are certainly women better than Lin Ningshan."

"Since you can think like this, I am truly relieved," Lin Fei said with a relieved smile.

Returning to the Yunwu Palace, Zhang Ruochen took the last blood pill and entered the inner space of the time-space crystal, starting to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Bodhimanda Fist again.

After cultivating until he was exhausted, he sat down for a short rest.

"I will make the Lin family pay back the humiliation my mother suffered, sooner or later. What exactly happened three years ago? I need to find an opportunity to ask Sister Yun. Of course, my current primary goal is to quickly reach the middle stage of the Yellow Extreme Realm."

To reach the middle stage of the Yellow Extreme Realm, one must take the marrow washing liquid.

The price of one bottle of marrow washing liquid is at least 200 silver coins.

200 silver coins is not a small amount for Zhang Ruochen.

Moreover, he cultivates the "Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture," and to break through to the middle stage of the Yellow Extreme Realm, one bottle of marrow washing liquid is clearly not enough.

"I've got it!"

Zhang Ruochen slapped his forehead, scolding himself for being too stupid. He clearly has a huge treasure trove but is still worrying about earning silver coins every day.

After all, in his previous life, he was the son of the Bright Emperor and had read many high-grade cultivation techniques and martial arts, all of which he memorized. Even a random cultivation technique or martial art could fetch a sky-high price.

The "Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture" and the Dragon Elephant Bodhimanda Fist are both considered divine techniques in the entire Kunlun world and cannot be sold.

However, his memory contains other low-grade cultivation techniques and martial arts. Even a random one could cause a significant stir in the Yunwu Kingdom.

Zhang Ruochen immediately found paper and ink and wrote down a set of spirit-grade martial art, "Heaven Heart Sword Technique."

The Heaven Heart Sword Technique is already the lowest-grade martial art in Zhang Ruochen's memory.

Spirit-grade lower-level.

"A spirit-grade lower-level martial art should be considered a top martial art in the Yunwu Kingdom. Even a large family like the Lin family, their strongest martial art is probably a spirit-grade lower-level, and they might only have one or two as their family's ultimate technique."

In the Yunwu Kingdom, many martial artists do not have the opportunity to cultivate martial arts. Even a human-grade lower-level martial art is a great treasure to them.

The lowest price for a human-grade lower-level martial art is at least 300 silver coins, and some powerful human-grade lower-level martial arts can sell for over 1,000 silver coins. Ordinary martial artists cannot afford them, and some even fight to the death for a human-grade lower-level martial art.

As for a spirit-grade lower-level martial art, once it is put up for sale, even the heads of large families would be extremely interested and would do everything to buy it.

An additional spirit-grade martial art would significantly increase a family's strength.

After writing down the cultivation method of the Heaven Heart Sword Technique, Zhang Ruochen drew a small diagram for each sword move.

Zhang Ruochen gathered all the true qi in his body at the tip of the brush, infusing the true qi and martial arts intent into the sword move diagrams.

Exhausting all the true qi in his body, he only managed to draw one diagram.

Zhang Ruochen immediately sat down and practiced the "Nine Heavens Bright Emperor Scripture" to replenish the true qi in his qi pool, then started drawing the second diagram.

It took him half a day to finish drawing all twelve diagrams of the "Heaven Heart Sword Technique."

Although his cultivation level was no longer, his eyesight and understanding of martial arts remained. Each sword move he drew was very exquisite, almost identical to the original "Heaven Heart Sword Technique."

"With my current understanding of martial arts, drawing a spirit-grade lower-level martial art is already my limit. If I were to draw a spirit-grade mid-level martial art, I could only capture about one-third of its essence."

Martial art manuals cannot be casually copied or replicated.

Even if an ordinary person memorizes the incantations and diagrams of the "Heaven Heart Sword Technique," it would only be a superficial copy. Even if they successfully cultivate it, they would not achieve the power of a spirit-grade lower-level sword technique.

In his previous life, Zhang Ruochen was a grandmaster at the peak of the Yellow Extreme Realm, and he could only capture the essence of a spirit-grade lower-level sword technique. For higher-grade martial arts, he could not capture their full essence.

"A spirit-grade lower-level sword technique should fetch a good price."

Zhang Ruochen did not immediately take the "Heaven Heart Sword Technique" to the martial market. Instead, he waited until nightfall before heading towards the palace gate.

"Ninth Prince, why are you leaving the palace so late?" the two guards at the palace gate said.

The two guards knew that the Ninth Prince and Lin Fei had been moved to a side hall, meaning they had lost their influence in the palace. Therefore, they did not show any respect and did not even bow to Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen was not the weak Zhang Ruochen of the past. He stared sharply at the two guards and slightly puffed out his chest, saying, "This prince is going to the Lin residence to see my cousin Ningshan. Open the palace gate immediately!"

Since Zhang Ruochen was still a royal prince, the two guards did not dare to offend him. They opened the palace gate and watched as Zhang Ruochen left.

"What's he being so tough for? If he weren't the son of the Yunwu Duke, he would have died many times over," one of the guards spat coldly.

"Rumor has it that the Lin family's genius, Lin Ningshan, is going to be engaged to the Seventh Prince. He's still not giving up, truly foolish," the other guard said disdainfully.

Zhang Ruochen was not really going to see Lin Ningshan; he was just using this as an excuse to leave the palace without arousing suspicion.

After leaving the palace, Zhang Ruochen took out a large black cloak from the time-space crystal and wrapped his entire body in it, walking into the brightly lit capital city.

In the darkness, no one could see his face.

Not long after, Zhang Ruochen walked through the bustling streets and entered the martial market.

Other parts of the capital city could only be considered "common markets." The martial market, which occupied only one-tenth of the capital city, was the most prosperous place in the Yunwu Kingdom.

The martial market is divided into five areas: the elixir market, the equipment market, the beast market, the slave market, and the central auction house.

The martial market, to a certain extent, determines the rise and fall of the entire Yunwu Kingdom, so the kingdom strictly manages it.

At every entrance to the martial market, there are soldiers guarding. Only martial artists or people of high status are allowed to enter the martial market.
