"The third method, accumulating merit points, accumulating a hundred merit points, you can enter the Heavenly Palace to cultivate for one day. "The deputy courtyard master.

Ning Xiaochuan asked, "What is merit value?"

"This ...... You go to Heavenly Emperor City, find the answer yourself, everything that the master of this academy can say has already been told to you, how to cultivate next depends on yourself, I hope that after a year, your cultivation will be able to catch up with the famous sheep and add another glory to our three divisions and martial arts academy. The deputy head said.

Ning Xiaochuan and Yu Qianqian left from the deputy courtyard master, and stood in the palace courtyard of the Third Division Martial Academy, where they could look out at the furnace mountain with gunpowder billowing in the distance.

Yu Xiqian said: "This year's time will be very critical for you, Ming Yang must have gone to Heavenly Emperor City to break through the Tianqiao now, he also wants to cultivate to improve rapidly, and then defeat you in a year." What are you thinking

Ning Xiaochuan took out a wooden box from the Qiankun cloth bag and said, "Give it to you." ”

Yu Qianqian naturally remembered that this was something that the deputy courtyard master had given to Ning Xiaochuan, and it contained a seven-grade jade mushroom, which was a treasure that could not be found for the mind cultivator.

"You...... Why did you give me such a precious thing?" Yu Qianqian's heart was a little flustered, her fingers gently tugging at the corners of her clothes, and her rosy lips were tightly pursed.

Ning Xiaochuan said: "His Royal Highness the County Lord has helped me so much, auctioning the 'Blood Toad Pill,' giving away the Kun cloth bag, looking for the mystical medicine' for thousands of years, and when I was seriously injured, His Royal Highness the County Lord was also taking care of me." This seven-grade jade mushroom can be regarded as a thank you for the kindness of His Royal Highness the county lord. ”

Yu Qianqian's eyes were bright, her eyelashes blinked, and she said, "Just to thank you?"

Ning Xiaochuan nodded.

"Then I don't want this Yuzhi" Yu Qianqian smiled brightly and said, "You owe me so much, and you want to repay it completely with a Yuzhi?"

Ning Xiaochuan said: "Then what do you want?"

"No, I like you owe me. The more you owe, the more you will forget me. Yu Xiqian regretted a little after saying this, her cheeks were crimson, how could she say such explicit words? It was so straightforward, like a couple flirting.

Yu Xiqian pretended to be calm and said, "I mean, the more you owe me, the more I will ask you to help me in the future, and you naturally can't refuse." ”

Even if Ning Xiaochuan doesn't know anything about feelings, he can understand Yu Qianqian's friendship for him.

He didn't know what to do next, so he just let it be

Ning Xiaochuan was no longer reluctant, put the Yuzhi away again, and said, "This Yuzhi is enough to be used as the main medicine of the Intermediate Dan to refine a furnace of Intermediate Dan. It's just that the medicinal properties of Yuzhi are cold, and if you want to refine it into a pill, you still need a few adjuvants. ”

Yu Qianqian pondered for a moment and said, "A small amount of Flame Lotus and Four-Rank Ice Muscle Grass should be able to be used as adjuvants

Ning Xiaochuan said with a smile: "I think so too, it would be better if there was still a drop of jade essence." ”

"There is a place in Heavenly Emperor City that sells mystical medicines, let's go now. Yu Siqian said.

Located in the middle of the Emperor Ruins, Tiandi City is an ancient city with a history of thousands of years.

It is rumored that the Heavenly Emperor City is an ancient city that fell from the sky, and it is the city where the Heavenly Emperor lives.

Furnace Mountain, to the Heavenly Emperor City is 1,200 miles away, because there are often students of the Three Divisions Martial Arts Academy to go back and forth between the two, so hundreds of years ago, there were strong men of the Three Divisions Martial Arts Academy between the mountains and mountains, opening up an ancient road

The area of the Emperor Ruins is vast, there are often fierce beasts infested, and there are many unknown creatures hidden between the mountains, and many students die in the mouths of the beasts every year in the Emperor Ruins.

However, this ancient road is quite safe, and the breath of Wuzun is scattered on the ancient road, so that the mysterious beasts between the mountains do not dare to approach within ten miles of the ancient road.

On the ancient road, two figures were hurrying towards the Heavenly Emperor City.

Although they seem to be walking, they can cross a distance of seven or eight meters with each step, and the speed is comparable to that of a green deer horse.

These two people are Ning Xiaochuan and Yu Qianqian

"At our current speed, we should be able to reach Heavenly Emperor City before dark. Yu Siqian said.

The surrounding is a black oppressive primeval jungle, the roots of many trees grow outside, the branches and leaves cover the sky and the sun, and in the depths of the jungle, the roar of the mysterious beast comes out, with a primitive breath.

It's like a desolate world

Ning Xiaochuan said curiously: "What kind of place is the Emperor Ruins? Why is the Heavenly Emperor Academy Palace built here? The geographical territory here is probably not much smaller than that of the Yulan Empire." ”

Yu Qianqian's expression was solemn, and she said, "The time when the Heavenly Emperor Xue Palace has existed is longer than the history of the Yulan Empire. I only know that the founder of the Heavenly Emperor Academy is a person named 'Son of Heaven, because the past time has been too long, it is difficult to study, the specific founding time of the Heavenly Emperor Academy is different, probably between two thousand and three thousand years ago, as for why the Son of Heaven built the Heavenly Emperor Academy Palace in the Emperor Ruins, this is completely unclear. Even the origin of the Imperial Ruins is a mystery."

Ning Xiaochuan said: "Did the Heavenly Emperor City exist before the establishment of the Heavenly Emperor Academy, or was it established after the establishment of the Heavenly Emperor Academy?"

"The history of Heavenly Emperor City should be even longer than that of the Heavenly Emperor Academy. It is likely that the ancient city was established by the natives of the Emperor Ruins, but after those natives were driven out, this place became the base camp of the Heavenly Emperor Academy. Yu Siqian said.

Ning Xiaochuan's heart was slightly shocked, and he said, "In the Emperor Ruins, in addition to the students of the Heavenly Emperor Academy, there are other human races?"

The indigenous people, born and raised, are the human race that originally lived in the emperor's ruins.

And the students of the Heavenly Emperor Academy Palace are all outsiders of the Yulan Empire, or invaders

Yu Qianqian nodded and said, "I heard that there are also martial arts masters among those natives, and they will even hunt and kill the students of the Heavenly Emperor Academy, but those natives have been driven to the distant desolate land, even if they sneak back, they will be brutally suppressed and expelled by the Heavenly Emperor Academy." ”

"It's the law of the jungle again, the law of the jungle. Ning Xiaochuan said.

Before the sun set, Ning Xiaochuan and Yu Qianqian finally came to the outside of the Heavenly Emperor City.

Under the setting sun, the blue-gray city walls of Heavenly Emperor City were like a mountain, revealing an ancient vicissitudes of life, like a huge giant beast lying in the mountains.

"You two are freshmen in the first class, hurry up and enter the city, the gates will be closed before dark. A warrior in black armor said,

Ning Xiaochuan and Yu Qianqian walked into the city gate, and the city gate was immediately closed.

Ning Xiaochuan carefully glanced at the martial artist wearing black armor, this martial artist's cultivation had reached the second realm of the divine body, but his age was at least thirty years old, and he was obviously not a student of the Academy Palace.

Yu Xiqian had a detailed understanding of the Imperial Ruins, and said: "Those are the guards of the Imperial Palace, the elites selected from the army, but they are different from the students of the Heavenly Emperor Academy, they can only stay in the Imperial Ruins for one year, and they will return to the military camp after a year." Even if you are a guard in the school palace, this is an opportunity that many people can't fight

The streets of Heavenly Emperor City are all paved with bluestone, wide enough for four green deer carriages to pass side by side, but it is difficult to see pedestrians on the streets, it is like a ghost town.

"The students of the Vajra Martial Academy, the Five Elements Martial Academy, and the Heavenly Elephant Martial Academy are all cultivating in the Heavenly Emperor City, but it is only because the Heavenly Emperor City is so big that they can rarely see pedestrians. Yu Siqian said.

Ning Xiaochuan said: "It's getting late, it is estimated that the Tongtianqiao has been closed, I will go to the Tianqiao tomorrow to see if I can buy the auxiliary Xuanyao for refining the intermediate Dan tonight." ”

Naturally, there are relatively lively areas in the Heavenly Emperor City, such as trading in the mutual market.

In the trading market, there are many students gathered, and even some school palace guards and school palace attendants will come here to sell treasures.

There are extremely rich resources in the imperial ruins, and after the students get the resources, some of them are exchanged for huàn merit points, while some of them are sold in the exchange market for green gold, or the treasures they want.

In the trading market, the first and second students are the majority, and some of them put the hunted beasts directly on the side of the street, peel them off bloodily, put the blood of the beasts into bottles, and sell the skins, bones, and eyeballs of the beasts.

There are also some guards of the Academy Palace who picked up a lot of mystical medicines outside the Heavenly Emperor City, spread out blankets, and put the mystical medicines directly on the blankets, waiting for other martial artists to buy them.

Mysterious weapons, ores, mysterious beasts, mysterious medicines, elixirs, ancient treasures, etc., all kinds of things can be seen here, it is simply all-encompassing, and there is everything.

Ning Xiaochuan stopped next to a stall, picked up a fiery red lotus, observed it carefully, nodded, and said, "This fiery lotus should have grown for five hundred years, it belongs to the five-grade mystical medicine, and it can be used in medicine." Senior sister, how can this five-grade flame lotus be sold?"

Next to the stall, there is a rather beautiful woman sitting cross-legged, who is cultivating martial arts Xuanqi, her petite and delicate body is covered by Xuanqi, and she has a strong cultivation.

Luo Li was wearing a heart nourishing robe, withdrew the Xuan Qi into her body, opened her eyes and stared at Ning Xiaochuan slightly, and said, "You are a freshman of this class of the Third Master Martial Academy?"

Ning Xiaochuan nodded.

Luo Li said: "You are also a mind cultivator?"

Ning Xiaochuan nodded again.

Luo Li said: "Since you know that the Flame Lotus is a five-grade mystical medicine, you should understand that the five-grade mystical medicine can only be refined by an intermediate mind cultivator. ”

She didn't believe that a freshman would be an intermediate mind cultivator, so she kindly reminded her that if she couldn't refine the five-grade mystical medicine, it would be a waste

Ning Xiaochuan had a good impression of this senior sister, and said, "I am already an intermediate heart cultivator, and I bought this flame lotus to refine a furnace of intermediate pills. ”

"Are you an intermediate mind cultivator?" Luo Li was slightly startled, as if she suddenly thought of something, and suddenly realized, "Could it be that you are Ning Xiaochuan, the man of the year this year?"

Ning Xiaochuan was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Senior sister also knows my name?"

Luo Li was no longer so cold to Ning Xiaochuan, a smile appeared on her face, and said: "I'm afraid that there are few people in the Heavenly Emperor Academy who don't know your name now, you can become an intermediate mind cultivator at the age of sixteen, and you can match the most sword cultivator in martial arts, this kind of talent doesn't know how many geniuses dim, you are simply the pride of all our mind cultivators." Did you break through the flyover?"

Ning Xiaochuan said: "I just entered the Heavenly Emperor City today, and it is estimated that I will go to the overpass tomorrow." ”

Luo Li said: "Then you have to hurry, I heard that Mingyang has already broken through the Tongtian Bridge today, and after breaking through the first three floors of the Tongtian Bridge, he has entered the Heavenly Palace to cultivate." This is the best result of the new students breaking through the Tianqiao in a hundred years, and it has caused a huge sensation in Tiandi City. ”

It was already quite remarkable that other genius freshmen were able to break through the first layer of the bridge, but Mingyang directly broke through the third floor. This is definitely a deterrent, a deterrent to all new students, and a deterrent to Ning Xiaochuan.
