"Hmph." A cold snort came from the distance.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and ignored it.
Xiao Ruoling was a little embarrassed and gently pushed him.
Only then did Chu Zhiyuan release her, still holding her soft hand.
A white-clothed girl, as white as snow, floated from a distance, her face covered with a veil, her bright eyes cold, and her delicate eyebrows shrouded in arrogance.
"Senior Sister Shen, this is the Heir Apparent." Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "We've met before."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's like we haven't."
"Hmph, what's there to see!" Shen Hanyue curled her lips and said, "You are not worthy of Senior Sister Xiao at all."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "If I'm not worthy, then who is worthy?"
"No one is worthy!"
"Well, Ruoling's younger brother thought the same way back then." Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "They all thought I wasn't worthy of Ruoling, this fairy... I heard your swordsmanship is superb."
Shen Hanyue smiled proudly.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Your talent is also top-notch, we are about the same age, what realm are you in?"
"Grandmaster First Heaven!" Shen Hanyue said even more proudly, raising her chin slightly, "I'll be in the Second Heaven soon!"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Well, First Heaven."
"Hmph, what Heaven are you in?"
"Seventh Heaven, after going back this time, I guess I'll be able to reach the Eighth Heaven." Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
"...You used elixirs, right?" Shen Hanyue said, "I didn't use any elixirs!"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I did use some elixirs to strengthen my meridians."
Shen Hanyue immediately became smug: "No wonder."
"You didn't use a single elixir?"
"Of course!"
"I admire you." Chu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile: "When I was twenty years old, I entered the Acquired Realm without using a single elixir, indeed, the progress wasn't fast, no matter how fast it couldn't be much faster."
Shen Hanyue became even more proud.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Then you can use elixirs freely in the future, right?"
"That's right." Shen Hanyue snorted, "We will catch up with you very quickly!"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Then congratulations to you... By the way, are you two Holy Maidens ranked equally, who is the main and who is the secondary?"
"I am the Senior Sister, so I will be the main one for now." Xiao Ruoling said, "If I am not here, Senior Sister Shen can also take charge."
"Good, good." Chu Zhiyuan agreed: "Miss Shen should learn well, so that she can take over as soon as possible."
This would fulfill the agreement between the Moon Invitation Palace and the Great Ancestor.
So Shen Hanyue would still be the main one.
But Shen Hanyue was still too young and needed experience and training, so she followed Xiao Ruoling to learn.
Xiao Ruoling, as the daughter of the Anguo Duke Residence, was very skilled in managing people and affairs, and was fully capable of serving as the Holy Maiden.
Moreover, the Holy Maiden was also assisting the Palace Master.
Chu Zhiyuan sighed: "As a Holy Maiden, what are you going to do next?"
Xiao Ruoling said, "We must first go to the Nine Li Divine Sect."
Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.
"After the Nine Li Divine Sect, we must also go to the Worry-Free Sect and the Eternal Spirit Divine Sect."
"You have to go through them all?"
"We have to pay a visit to the other three sects, at least show our faces and let them know the new Holy Maiden."
"Eternal Spirit Divine Sect..." Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "The Emperor Grandfather just cleaned up the Eternal Spirit Divine Sect, be careful."
"I am the Holy Maiden, if they don't want to fall out with our Moon Invitation Palace, they won't dare to do anything."
"Hopefully." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
He had always had a special fear of the Eternal Spirit Divine Sect.
Perhaps it was because the Spirit Sons of the Eternal Spirit Divine Sect could awaken their past life memories.
He had awakened his past life memories, so he didn't want to contact the Eternal Spirit Divine Sect.
He had a faint worry: was he a Spirit Son?
He could awaken the mystery of the womb and remember his past life because the soul of his past life underwent a mutation when it crossed over to this world?
Was that really the case?
Was there another possibility?
Therefore, the farther away from the Eternal Spirit Divine Sect, the better.
"Actually, the real trouble is the Worry-Free Sect." Xiao Ruoling said softly, "They are the most difficult to deal with."
"The Worry-Free Sect's poison is powerful?"
"It's hard to guard against, killing people invisibly."
"Senior Sister, no matter how powerful their poison is, they can't do anything to our Great Yin Chain Formation." Shen Hanyue said triumphantly.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
Shen Hanyue frowned and glared at him dissatisfied.
Xiao Ruoling said, "Junior Sister, you can't say such things outside, lest people find out.
"He won't tell anyone."
"We should still avoid eavesdroppers." Xiao Ruoling said softly, "There are no walls that don't have cracks in this world."
"Alright." Shen Hanyue nodded helplessly.
She felt that she had just left her mother, and now she had met another sister who controlled her, and she couldn't help but listen to her.
Senior Sister Xiao was very good, but she was annoying sometimes.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Xiao Ruoling pondered.
"No!" Shen Hanyue hurriedly widened her bright eyes, and then muttered, "We are a group of disciples going, what's the matter with you, a man, being there? Wouldn't that tarnish the reputation of our Moon Invitation Palace?"
Xiao Ruoling looked at Chu Zhiyuan helplessly.
She was actually very tempted.
If she could go with Chu Zhiyuan and ride horses together, it would indeed be more interesting.
But when she thought that she would be followed by the Moon Invitation Palace disciples, it was indeed not suitable for Chu Zhiyuan to be there.
She sighed softly: "I won't be back for a month."
"Then go." Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I'll come and find you in a month."
Xiao Ruoling nodded slowly, her bright eyes blurred.
Chu Zhiyuan released her jade hand and smiled, "Then I'll go, see you in a month."
As he said that, he jumped onto the Heavenly Dragon Divine Steed, waved his hand, and turned into two golden lights, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Ruoling was lost, her eyes fixed on the distance, until she could no longer see anything.
Shen Hanyue curled her lips as she watched from the side.
Xiao Ruoling stared at the direction where Chu Zhiyuan disappeared, motionless for a long time.
Shen Hanyue couldn't help but say, "Senior Sister, is he really that good? He's just a stinky man."
Xiao Ruoling turned her head to look at her, and shook her head with a smile.
Shen Hanyue snorted, "Even if he is the Heir Apparent, he is still a stinky man, I really don't understand what's so good about him."
Xiao Ruoling said, "Junior Sister, let's go, we still need to count the elixirs and spiritual herbs in the sect."
"Alas..." Shen Hanyue immediately had a headache and a pained expression.
She would rather retreat to practice her skills than deal with these trivial matters.
What does it matter how many elixirs there are in the sect, there are people in charge, just ask them directly, why bother counting them yourself?
And the spiritual herbs, how long will it take to count so many spiritual herbs?
This Holy Maiden is really not easy to be!
Chu Zhiyuan sat on the couch in the Listening Wave Courtyard, looking at the three Heaven-Penetrating Grasses with a smile on his face.
After just returning from the Anguo Duke Residence, after bringing them Xiao Ruoling's message, he couldn't wait to come back and look at these three Heaven-Penetrating Grasses.
After looking at them for a while, he directly stuffed all three into his mouth.
..
Half an hour later, he opened his eyes and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Three times the black flames were slowly fused by the aura of the Dragon Transformation Art, and the meridians were strengthened by one-tenth.
This one-tenth was different from the one-tenth at the beginning, the strengthening effect was indeed powerful.
He now had the confidence to directly break through the seventh floor of the Copper Tower and step into the Eighth Heaven.
Thinking about it, he did it, striking while the iron was hot.
When he woke up the second morning, he let out a long roar, and the entire Royal Residence was alarmed.
Soon they knew that the Heir Apparent had broken through again.
The Heir Apparent's cultivation was really advancing by leaps and bounds, even in the Grandmaster Realm, his progress was so fast, it was really unbelievable.
Now the days of the Royal Residence were getting better and better.
Flourishing and thriving, as a member of the Royal Residence, he had a full sense of this.
When Chu Zhiyuan came to the Mingwu Hall, Chu Qingfeng had a ghostly expression.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and cupped his fists, saying indifferently that he had indeed entered the Eighth Heaven.
"How did you enter another Heaven again?"
"There's no way, Ruoling got some spiritual herbs that strengthened my meridians."
"...Your luck!" Chu Qingfeng said helplessly.
Originally, he still needed to earn merits to exchange for Dragon Blood Stones, Dragon Fat Incense, Dragon Bones, etc., but now that his woman had become a Holy Maiden, he had a huge amount of cultivation resources.
According to his temper, it would probably be difficult for him to do things for the imperial court and earn merits, he would definitely loaf around and focus his energy on cultivation.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "The further you go, the harder it gets, the Ninth Heaven, plus the Grandmaster Completion, are not so easy."
He could feel the difficulty of the Ninth Heaven and the Grandmaster Completion, and a faint sense of despair arose.
Even with the help of strange stones, the Purple Yang True Scripture was practiced faster, and the effect of the Heaven-Penetrating Grass declined.
In the end, it still depended on hard work.
This made him, who was used to rapid progress, very uncomfortable.
It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
He could adjust his mentality, but mentality was mentality, mood was mood, and in the end, he could not overcome human nature.
"You can't just bury yourself in cultivation, you still need to experience more." Chu Qingfeng said.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Uncle, now there is only the war in the Northern Border, there is nothing else, right? Peaceful and calm."
"Hmph, the matter of the White Cloud Sword Palace is very troublesome." Chu Qingfeng shook his head.
