Imperial Cultivation

Yun Qiuhua floated over, looked him up and down, and said in surprise, "It really is Snow Zhi, and it's quite big... Good luck!"

"Is this considered big?" Xiao Ruoling asked.

"This is considered big," Yun Qiuhua said. "The ones drawn in our books are big, but in reality, it's almost impossible for them to be that big, they grow too slowly."

"Then who harvested the Snow Zhi last time?" Xiao Ruoling asked.

"The last time Snow Zhi was harvested was more than a hundred years ago, by the Palace Master," Yun Qiuhua thought for a while, "It seems it was on a very high mountain with white snow, and there was Snow Zhi on it."

Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "So what we entered is another first-time encounter?" This meant that they had entered a new place again.

There are records within the Moon Invitation Palace that these entrances have now been added to one hundred and twenty-one.

Adding this world of white snow, that would be one hundred and twenty-two. The size of this secret realm is beyond imagination.

"Yes, it should be the first time," Yun Qiuhua looked at Chu Zhiyuan in surprise: "Truly good luck." This was not the Holy Maiden's luck.

The Holy Maiden had entered several times, but had never entered a primordial land. After the Prince came, the two of them entered a primordial land.

Already twice. Primordial lands are of great significance.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It seems my luck is not bad." Taking a bit of Xu Yingying's luck really works.

This Xu Yingying truly has heaven-defying luck, it's really incredible.

"The Prince's luck is indeed very good," Yun Qiuhua said with a smile: "You should come often." To gain something from entering the secret realm, the most important thing is luck.

The Prince has such good luck, and is so generous, it is truly a great blessing for the Moon Invitation Palace. If he could come to the secret realm often, or even stay on Guest Peak all the time, that would be best.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "My luck is usually not good, it only gets better when I'm with Ruoling." Xiao Ruoling pursed her lips and smiled softly.

Yun Qiuhua giggled: "The Prince really knows how to coax people."

The two bid farewell to Yun Qiuhua, and Xiao Ruoling went back to change her clothes first. Inside Chu Zhiyuan's small courtyard. He sat beside the stone table in the small courtyard.

The fist-sized demon crystal was placed in the center of the stone table.

Five flying knives were resting on the demon crystal, emitting a faint light, flickering like breathing.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at them in surprise, never expecting that there was a shortcut to nurturing spirits, just like when his Glazed Blade was at that stage back then.

He was studying the demon crystal just now, and a flash of inspiration came to him, reminding him of the rapid success of the Glazed Blade with the help of the demon crystal. Could spirit nurturing be possible?

He placed the five flying knives on the demon crystal, and then activated the spirit nurturing method.

Their spirituality was rapidly increasing, and the spirit nurturing suddenly became several times faster.

When Xiao Ruoling lightly pushed the door and entered the small courtyard, she found Chu Zhiyuan staring at the demon crystal with a look of surprise.

She gently sat down opposite him, without making a sound.

Chu Zhiyuan looked over, seeing that she had already changed into a snow-white silk dress, with a faint fragrance floating in the air. She had already washed up, her face like a lotus, exceptionally beautiful.

"This is...?" Xiao Ruoling looked curiously at the five flying knives emitting light, the light becoming brighter and brighter. Chu Zhiyuan said, "The demon crystal is extremely helpful for the cultivation of the Glazed Blade Scripture."

"You must be careful when using demon crystals," Xiao Ruoling said softly: "No one dares to use them for cultivation, they are only mixed in a little when refining pills."

Demon crystals can enhance cultivation, but no one dares to do that.

The demon crystal contains the primordial spirit and soul of the demon beast. Absorbing the power within also absorbs the demon beast's soul and primordial spirit.

One might either become possessed, or experience hallucinations, or go mad and die. At the very least, one would almost never be able to step into the Grandmaster realm.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "I didn't absorb their power into my body, but it doesn't matter if I integrate it into the knife... The Glazed Blade Scripture is overbearing, let alone just the remnants of a dead soul, even the complete soul of a demon beast would still be cleanly slaughtered."

The Glazed Blade Scripture is just that overbearing.

Xiao Ruoling nodded gently, knowing that Chu Zhiyuan was extremely cautious and careful in this regard, and there was no need for her to say more.

"Actually, this Snow Zhi..." Xiao Ruoling said helplessly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "There's no need to secretly keep this, there are no walls that don't leak."

Stealing the natural treasures of the Moon Invitation Palace's secret realm to secretly give to one's husband would damage the Holy Maiden's reputation. This was what Chu Zhiyuan did not want.

Moreover, this secret realm is so strange, how could one know that the Moon Invitation Palace does not have other means to see the situation inside the secret realm?

Why bother acting like a petty person?

He is different now than in the past. With the merit of destroying the Four Great Battalions of Great Meng this time, he no longer lacks merit.

Entering the secret realm, natural treasures are just incidental, more for understanding the mysteries of the secret realm, the mysteries of heaven and earth.

If he could obtain more inheritances, that would be best, as it would be beneficial to expanding his martial arts horizons and gaining more insights into martial arts.

"Sigh... Alright then," Xiao Ruoling agreed helplessly, taking out a jade bottle from her sleeve and handing it to Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan took it and opened it to take a look. It was a spiritual pill, crimson in color, the size of a longan. Xiao Ruoling said: "This was personally given to me by the Palace Master when I went back to change my clothes just now."

"What kind of spiritual pill is it?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.

Xiao Ruoling said: "The Palace Master said it is a body-refining spiritual pill, obtained from the Phoenix Sect of Great Meng, called the Phoenix Blood Pill, capable of transforming bones, useless to me, only useful to you."

Chu Zhiyuan took it and looked at it: "The Phoenix Sect's spiritual pill, the Palace Master has good means... Then I'll take it now."

Xiao Ruoling said: "I'll protect you from the side. Haven't Zou Fang and the others arrived yet?"

"They should be here today," Chu Zhiyuan said.

Xiao Ruoling said: "I'll be outside, you go in and take the pill." Chu Zhiyuan nodded, entered the house, and looked at the crimson pill.

Perfectly round and flawless, with a red light faintly flowing within, the red color faintly had a burning sensation. Could it be that there really are phoenixes in this world?

This Phoenix Blood Pill feels very peculiar.

Li Hongzhao probably took this Phoenix Blood Pill long ago.

He slowly put it to his mouth, not feeling any warning from his intuition, so he opened his mouth and swallowed it.

Instantly, a flame shot straight into his stomach, and then exploded, he instantly felt as if he was in lava.

All of his internal organs seemed to be burning, and his skin was also hot and painful. Every part of his body ached, and he almost fainted.

In the state of pain and near fainting, he was still able to maintain calm thought and insight. His extrasensory perception allowed him to be as calm as a god.

He observed the changes inside and outside his body.

The Dragon Transformation Art's operating speed suddenly accelerated.

The Flying Dragon Pearl had been in his sleeve all along. Usually, when nothing was happening, the Dragon Transformation Art would continue to operate on its own. Now, after taking the Phoenix Blood Pill, the Dragon Transformation Art's speed was twice as fast.

The golden qi flowed through his body extremely quickly, like a flood bursting a dam. Even his meridians were faintly aching.

Chu Zhiyuan felt strange.

None of the spiritual pills he had taken before had been so unusual, and none had stimulated the Dragon Transformation Art so quickly.

Could it be related to "Phoenix Blood"?

Do dragons and phoenixes have a special beneficial effect? The aura of the Phoenix Blood Pill quickly integrated into the Dragon Transformation Art, and the golden qi of the Dragon Transformation Art instantly became brighter.

As the golden qi dispersed towards the skin, fine lines appeared on the skin, forming strange patterns, which were rapidly becoming clearer.

Scale Refinement was advancing by leaps and bounds.
