Chapter 1622: Exit

The higher one’s cultivation was, the faster he could comprehend saintly way rules.
It was unfathomable for a half-step saint king to refine more than two thousand saintly way rules.
It was difficult for even third-step saint kings.
Zhang Ruochen knew it was because of his six saint souls and Mystery of Truth.
Zhang Ruochen certainly wanted to try crossing Ocean of Truth again since Mystery of Truth was simply amazing. Perhaps he could comprehend the rules faster if he got more Mystery of Truth.
The side effects of the Joy and Anger Pill are gone completely. I can go to Hundred Flower Palace to buy a Six Desires Ancient Pill to improve my mind power to level fifty-six. I can also get my Golden Dragon Carriage back, Zhang Ruochen thought.
The stronger his mind power was, the easier it was for him to cross Ocean of Truth.
Besides, Zhang Ruochen wasn’t going to give the evil spirit saint souls until his mind power reached level fifty-six.
Emperor Yi Bone Staff was Zhang Ruochen’s trump card. He could defend himself against even a sixth-step saint king with that weapon, so he certainly wished it could get stronger and stronger.
Zhang Ruochen started to organize the objects in his s.p.a.ce ring. He got all the objects from the storage bags of the monks from the Evil Way.
“Can’t believe there’re only one hundred and twenty million saint stones.” Zhang Ruochen was a bit disappointed.
All the two-hundred-something monks from the Evil Way had great status and cultivation, yet he had only obtained this many saint stones.
The monks from the Evil Way had much more wealth than this.
However, most of their wealth wasn’t in Truth Heavenly Domain. Instead, it was in their own fields or the refining lands in Heaven World. They had lots of cities, medicine farms, mines, and grazing grounds.
They would sell those properties when they needed saint stones, so they didn’t carry many saint stones around.
Of course, one hundred and twenty million saint stones was already a large number to most of the saint stones.
Aside from saint stones, there were many saint weapons and divine medicinal pills, together with G.o.dly blood, G.o.dly bones, saint pills, and runes. There were treasures of all sorts.
There were hundreds of bottles of divine medicinal pills, but most of them were healing divine medicinal pills, detoxifying pills, and restorative pills.
There were only eight bottles of divine medicinal pills that improved mind power, and only fifteen bottles of divine medicinal pills that improved cultivation.
Besides, each bottle only had one or a few pills.
Zhang Ruochen was relieved after pondering the reasons behind it. If he had gotten divine medicinal pills that could improve his mind power and cultivation, he would’ve taken them instantly instead of carrying them around.
Zhang Ruochen took a look at the eight bottles of divine medicinal pills that could improve mind power, and he looked upset again.
Three of them had lower-cla.s.s pills, four of them had mid-cla.s.s pills, and only one of them contained upper-cla.s.s pills.
That upper-cla.s.s pill was the Joy and Anger Pill that Zhang Ruochen had taken before, and there were four of them.
Lower-cla.s.s divine medicinal pills and mid-cla.s.s divine medicinal pills were all valuable, but they couldn’t help Zhang Ruochen much, as he was already a mind power saint king.
As for the Joy and Anger Pill, which was an upper-cla.s.s divine medicinal pill, it could help him a lot. However, Zhang Ruochen had taken three pills, so he had antibodies to it already. Even if he took another four, his mind power wouldn’t be boosted.
Zhang Ruochen put away the eight bottles of mind power divine medicinal pills and took out the fifteen bottles of pills that could improve his cultivation. He opened the bottles one by one to check them. Most of them only contained lower-cla.s.s divine medicinal pills and mid-cla.s.s pills, which were tremendously helpful for saints, but they were nothing to saint kings.
“Cobweb Pills and Knowledge Pills.”
Zhang Ruochen looked pleased after seeing two bottles of upper-cla.s.s divine medicinal pills.
A Cobweb Pill was made of saintly way rules and saint medicine that was tens of thousands of years old. After taking one pill, the pill would spread in the monk’s body, and saintly way rules would stay in his body like a cobweb forever.
Under the help of that divine medicinal pill, monks could quickly comprehend saintly way rules and transformed them into their own rules.
It was an immensely precious upper-cla.s.s divine medicinal pill, and usually, it was very difficult to buy.
As for a Knowledge Pill, it could provide monks with the best state of mind for comprehending, boosting their speed of comprehension by several times, even ten times.
Most of the saint kings would only use divine medicinal pills when they were stuck. Most of the time, they would comprehend the saintly way rules by themselves.
Zhang Ruochen thought for a bit, and he decided not to take the pills.
If he used the divine medicinal pills, he might be able to refine faster, but what if he got stuck in the future?
If he took the same pill when he was stuck, it wouldn’t work as well as the first time.
Zhang Ruochen did find two types of divine medicinal pills among all the other hundreds of pills: Dingyuan Pill and Blood Pill.
The Dingyuan Pill was an upper-cla.s.s divine medicinal pill that solidified his cultivation, which was useful for monks whose cultivation was surging.
As for Blood Pills, they could quickly improve his body.
Zhang Ruochen comprehended the saintly way rules using his six saint souls. Even though he had a perfect grasp on them, it still took effort for him to actually use them.
Zhang Ruochen then took a Dingyuan Pill. He spent two days refining and absorbing it completely.
The saintly way rules that were kind of chaotic in his body became stable, and he was able to mobilize any of the rules with his mind.
And besides, his saint Qi became very pure, as if all four of his saint sources were purified.
“No wonder it’s an upper-cla.s.s divine medicinal pill. It saved me so much time from stabilizing my cultivation.” Zhang Ruochen smiled and put away the other six Dingyuan Pills.
Zhang Ruochen prepared to get out without taking Blood Pills.
It should be more than three months outside, and he wasn’t sure what was going on. Were the three large fields and Shang Ziyan plotting revenge?
Zhang Ruochen checked the Carnivorous Holy Flower before going out.
Zhang Ruochen gave all the bodies of the two-hundred-something monks from the Evil Way and one thousand saint sources to the Carnivorous Holy Flower.
All the corpses had been refined and absorbed, and the bag which contained one thousand saint sources was also empty.
No matter how many saint sources Zhang Ruochen had, he would run out eventually given how fast the Carnivorous Holy Flower absorbed them.
There were more than fifty thousand saintly way rules in Carnivorous Holy Flower’s body now, which rivaled that of a third-step saint king, thrilling Zhang Ruochen.
“THe Carnivorous Holy Flower said the pollen of Divine Reflection Lotus can improve its absorbing speed by ten times. That might be the reason the Carnivorous Holy Flower managed to absorb so many nutrients in only one year.”
The Carnivorous Holy Flower was in its slumber, probably digesting everything it absorbed. What level was its cultivation going to reach after digesting all of them?
Zhang Ruochen didn’t wake it up. Instead, he put it back into his spine, walked out of the inner s.p.a.ce of Time and s.p.a.ce Crystal, and showed up in a Weapon-Refining Pavilion.
Squeak!
The sun shone upon his face, hurting his eyes.
The two female monks who were staying outside the pavilion were dazed, and then, they kneeled with one knee and said, “Lord Ruochen.”
Zhang Ruochen took a look at them. Both of them were upper-cla.s.s saints, and they looked exquisite.
“Who are you?” Zhang Ruochen seemed confused.
The saintess kneeling on the left pouted and said, “We’re monks who were deserted by our own fields, and we’re willing to join Guanghan Field.”
The saintess kneeling on the right was timid. She said with her head lowered, “We hope Lord Ruochen won’t feel disdain for us.”
Zhang Ruochen figured that they might be the female monks who were captured by the three large fields and held in Yin and Yang Palace, but that their fields had abandoned them for some reason.
“Stand up. You can stay in Moon G.o.ddess’s dojo from now on. As long as you’re loyal to us, I won’t expel you,” said Zhang Ruochen.
The two saintesses were amazed and stood up, but they were still tiptoeing around Zhang Ruochen and didn’t even dare look straight at him.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Where is Miss. Mu?”
“Are you talking about G.o.ddess, her highness?” said the saintess on the left.
Zhang Ruochen said, “G.o.ddess. Yes, her.”
Mu Lingxi was Moon G.o.ddess’s disciple, and she was above everyone in Guanghan Field, except supreme saints. To the two saintesses, Mu Lingxi was the one-above-all G.o.ddess.
“G.o.ddess is refining in Bliss Dungeon,” said the saintess on the left.
They raised their heads as they didn’t get any response from Zhang Ruochen for a long time, but he was gone already.
“Lord Ruochen is extraordinary, I couldn’t feel that he’d gone away at all.”
“Lord Ruochen is ranked the first on ‘Saints Merits Rank.’ Countless devils from the Yin and Yang Palace were killed by him. It’ll be wonderful if we can be his maids.”
“Don’t be delusional. Lord Ruochen will definitely be a supreme saint who roams the world in the future. We’re nothing to him.”
…
After getting to the bottom of Bliss Dungeon, Zhang Ruochen was stopped by two saintesses.
“Who are you? Don’t you know the G.o.ddess is refining here?” One of the saintesses scolded at Zhang Ruochen.
The other saintess saw a stranger’s face, and immediately got on guard, summoned a saint sword, and pointed it at Zhang Ruochen.
Obviously, they hadn’t met Zhang Ruochen and didn’t know who he was.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t trespa.s.s. Instead, he said calmly, “Please tell her highness that Zhang Ruochen is here to see her.”
“Zhang… Are you the Lord priest?”
The two saintesses looked horrified and couldn’t help sweating.
However, they couldn’t let Zhang Ruochen in before confirming his ident.i.ty, so they immediately sent a message to Su Jing, informing him.
Su Jing seemed to have known that Zhang Ruochen had walked out of the inner s.p.a.ce, so he replied to them immediately.
After receiving the reply, the two saintesses were terrified and groveled on the ground.
“Lord Ruochen.”
“We didn’t mean to be rude to you… Please forgive us, Lord Ruochen.”
The two saintesses knew that the priest in front of them was a real killer, and they might be annihilated for offending him.
“No need to be so scared of me. Get up,” said Zhang Ruochen.
The two saintesses looked at each other, still groveling on the ground.
They’d seen many people who pretended to be nice in the Yin and Yang Palace. They looked easygoing, but they could turn into bloodthirsty monsters in one second.
Zhang Ruochen frowned. He knew that they were tortured in the Yin and Yang Palace, and their willpower was so fragile that it would take a long time for them to recover.
Zhang Ruochen stopped talking to them, opened the stone door, and walked straight into the underground s.p.a.ce.
As he walked to Yin Pond, he saw an extremely s.e.xual view in the water. His heart immediately pounded fast as he held his breath.
Mu Lingxi was completely naked, and she was standing at the center of Yin Pond, and half her body was showing above the water. Her wet hair dangled on her shoulders, and her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were glowing, looking like two small hills.
Just as Zhang Ruochen tried to look away, Mu Lingxi, who was standing in the pond, noticed that someone had walked in. She immediately opened her eyes.
