Chapter 1602: Met Fairy Again

“Ah…”

“You’ll all die! One… One day… My brother will kill you all…”

“It hurts… Their Soul-Slashing Whip is crushing my saint soul.”

…

Four monks from the evil way in grey stood outside Yin and Yang Palace, whipping the seventeen heads, rotating.

The seventeen heads had been drained of blood, and nobody could even see their faces.

Bang Bang!

After every whip, the heads screamed in agony, which made Yin and Yang Palace all the more terrifying. No monks dared spend more time around the palace than they had to.

A dwarf that was only five feet tall sneered, “It’s been three days, yet Zhang Ruochen doesn’t even dare come save you. He’s nothing but a coward.”

“Why would he have the guts to come to Yin and Yang Palace. Even if he does, he’ll die no matter what.”

And then, an absolute saint from Thousand Devil Field laughed and whipped a head again.

…

Zhang Ruochen, Blackie, and Ling Feiyu all changed their looks, walking past Yin and Yang Palace without stopping. They didn’t stop until they were three blocks away from the palace.

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t look more solemn.

He went back to Jingxiang Cliff Dojo to Borrow Glass Sky-Sealing Dome.

Ling Feiyu was very stubborn as she was only willing to lend Zhang Ruochen the Glass Sky-Sealing Dome unless she also came to Heavenly Capital Saint Market together with him.

Blackie said, “Let’s wait longer. I’ve been trying to establish a new formation flag, and I need one more ingredient. Once I buy that ingredient and integrate it with the flag, its power will surge, which will probably help us a great deal.”

“What ingredient?” asked Zhang Ruochen.

Blackie said, “Sun Golden Essence.”

Zhang Ruochen frowned, as he’d never heard of it before. Obviously, Sun Golden Essence must be very scarce.

Just as they were about to head to some top-tier saint shops to look for Sun Golden Essence, the space around them shook.

The sky above them turned dark.

“No! Someone found us and sealed the space.”

Ling Feiyu summoned Heaven-Burier Sword, formed Sword Way Xuangang, and wielded her sword.

The sword light flew out, shining upon the dark space around them.

Boom!

Ling Feiyu’s sword clashed with a transparent finger.

Sword Way Xuangang was warded off.

White petals flew out of the finger, dissolving the Sword Way Xuangang completely.

Ling Feiyu’s hair waved in the air as she stared at the woman wearing a veil in front of her. Her Heaven-Burier Sword gleamed brighter and brighter with Xuangang.

Blackie immediately stepped forward, trying to stop the fight. “She’s with us, with us.”

“With us?”

Ling Feiyu didn’t retract her Sword Way Xuangang until she made sure it wasn’t her enemy. She then looked to Blackie, waiting for an explanation.

Blackie said, “This is Hundred Flower Fairy, a friend of Zhang Ruochen. I’m not very close with her.”

Ling Feiyu had heard of Hundred Flower Fairy before. She was one of the nine most beautiful women in Heaven World, also the leader of Thousand Pistil Field. She was a woman craved by countless men.

However, Hundred Flower Fairy was known to be aloof, so almost no men were able to approach her.

When did Zhang Ruochen befriend her?

Zhang Ruochen looked at Hundred Flower Fairy in the distance and said, “What did you do to me?”

“Do you really think I’m so despicable? Is that why you left me without saying goodbye, because you were afraid I’d kill you?”

Ji Fanxin still sounded very calm, but everyone could tell that she was blaming Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen said, “How did you find me the second I came to Heavenly Capital Saint Market?”

Ji Fanxin stayed silent for a bit, then she explained, “Because you touched the pollen of Reflection Lotus pedals, and the pollen has got into your body. Once you’re less than ten thousand miles away from me, I can sense you.”

“Reflection Lotus pedals? Pollen?”

Zhang Ruochen was first confused, then he looked to Ji Fanxin’s hands, after which he realized what had happened.

Zhang Ruochen mobilized his mind power to check his hands, and he did find tiny pollen everywhere.

And not just on his hands…

The pollen had spread everywhere in his body, his marrow, blood, and organs…

Zhang Ruochen tried to force the pollen out of his body, then, he tried to refine it, but both attempts ended in failure. The pollen was attached to his body like maggots.

“Damn it… I should never have touched her.” Zhang Ruochen felt regretful.

Carnivorous Holy Flower said to Zhang Ruochen, “My lord, the pollen of Divine Reflection Lotus is very beneficial to me. If I can absorb the pollen, I can absorb other nutrients ten times faster than now.”

After becoming a half-step saint king, Carnivorous Holy Flower got slower and slower at absorbing nutrients.

Now, it could only absorb half a saint source, which slowed down its improvement.

If it was able to absorb nutrients ten times faster than now, it would be able to take five saint sources every day, then it’d become a saint king very soon.

Zhang Ruochen asked, “Can you absorb all the pollen in my body?”

“I should be able to, but it’ll take at least several months.” said Carnivorous Holy Flower.

Zhang Ruochen felt relieved after getting the response.

He asked, “Why did you come here to find me, Fairy.”

“No need to watch out for me like this. I mean you no harm. I’m only here to tell you that Shang Ziyan is in Yin and Yang Palace now, so it’d be better for you to leave Heavenly Capital Saint Market. Otherwise, you’ll fall into his trap,” said Ji Fanxin.

Zhang Ruochen looked conflicted, and said, “So what, he’s in Yin and Yang Palace?”

Ji Fanxin said, “You have no idea how strong Shang Ziyan is. He’s attained greatly in the Way of Truth, and he’s crossed the seventh level of Ocean of Truth.

“He can definitely cross the eighth level of the ocean domain before becoming a supreme saint, even the ninth level.

“Even if his cultivation is suppressed at half-step-saint-king level, he can crush everyone with his comprehension of the Way of Truth.”

Even Ji Fanxin was intimidated by Shang Ziyan’s power.

She came here because she didn’t want to watch Zhang Ruochen walk into certain death. She wanted to talk him out of it.

Zhang Ruochen suddenly said, “I helped you rescue Queen Danling, and you said you owe me a favor. Now, I hope you can return the favor.”

“You want me to help you attack Yin and Yang Palace, don’t you?” said Ji Fanxin.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, “This is a matter of life and death. Even if I ask you to help me, you won’t. What I have in mind is another thing, and it’s less difficult.”

…

After separating from Ji Fanxin, Zhang Ruochen, Ling Feiyu and Blackie headed to ‘Karma Temple’ opened by Western Buddhist Field and stayed there.

Ji Fanxin came to Karma Temple in the afternoon for Zhang Ruochen again.

“I’ve brought all the Sun Saint Gold from Hundred Flower Palace. It’s thirty-seven grams in total, worth thirty-seven million saint stones.”

After giving Zhang Ruochen the box that held all the Sun Saint Gold, Ji Fanxin took out eight runes and handed them to Zhang Ruochen. “Four Heavenly Sword Runes, three God Demon Runes, and one Hundred Step No Lives Rune. They’re worth one hundred and thirty-five million saint stones in total.

“Thousand Pistil Field didn’t make these eight runes, so even if you use them, Shang Ziyan won’t have any doubts about Hundred Flower Palace. This is the best I can do to help you.

“Heavenly Sword Rune is an attack-type rune. Once you use it, it rivals the full-strength strike of a third-step saint king.

“Each of them is worth five million saint stones.

“God Demon Runes are defense-type runes. If you attach them to your body, you’ll turn into a Godly demon in ten breaths of time, and your body will rival that of a third-step saint king. All the attacks under third-step saint kings will be rendered useless against you.

“Each of them is worth twenty million saint stones.”

“Hundred Step No Lives Rune. Once you trigger it, any monk under third-step saint kings a hundred steps from you will be killed instantly, if they don’t have defense runes. It’s worth sixty million saint stones.”

Every rune on the table was immensely valuable. Even saints would be able to slay saint kings if they had any of them. However, for an ordinary saint, they couldn’t afford even the cheapest Heavenly Sword Rune in a lifetime.

“One hundred and seventy-two million saint stones. Even some supreme saints won’t be able to afford them.” Zhang Ruochen mumbled, then took out the Golden Dragon Carriage and handed it to Ji Fanxin. “I’ll leave it with you for now, and I’ll buy it back once I conquer Yin and Yang Palace.”

“It’s a Nine Yao Ten Thousand Patterns Saint Weapon… Wonderful… Wonderful…”

Ji Fanxin’s eyes gleamed and she was thrilled. She said, “This Nine Yao Ten Thousand Patterns Saint Weapon is worth way more than one hundred and seventy-two million saint stones. Aren’t you worried I won’t return it to you?”

“If I get killed in Yin and Yang Palace, better you have it than Shang Ziyan. If I can annihilate Yin and Yang Palace, then I can do the same thing to Hundred Flower Palace,” said Zhang Ruochen.

Seeing how determined Zhang Ruochen was, Ji Fanxin suddenly thought that Zhang Ruochen might actually be able to rival Shang Ziyan.

If Zhang Ruochen got killed in Yin and Yang Palace, Ji Fanxin would be able to get a priceless Nine Yao Ten Thousand Patterns Saint Weapon, but now, she actually hoped that Zhang Ruochen could get out of the palace alive.

After Ji Fanxin left, Blackie took the Sun Saint Gold to refine the formation flag.

As for Zhang Ruochen, he walked into the inner space of Time and Space Crystal, sat down and pondered how to improve his power.

And then, he took out the Masculine Flower given by Ji Fanxin.

The flower as large as a fist gleamed with starry light, releasing masculine saint Qi like flames.

“I initially completed the eleventh palm of Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm, and I’m one step away from ultimate completion. The most important thing is the accumulation of masculine Qi in my body.”

To complete the tenth palm of Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm, he needed ten thousand times more masculine Qi in his body than ordinary people.

As for the eleventh palm, he needed a hundred thousand times more.

He needed lots of pure masculine divine medicinal pills and saint medicine to increase his masculine Qi to fifty thousand times more than ordinary people.

However, it was a very important step. If he wasn’t careful enough, he would either go mad, or worse, explode and die.

Zhang Ruochen had just reached initial completion, so it was almost impossible for him to reach ultimate completion.

In the end, Zhang Ruochen suppressed his urge and put the Masculine Flower away.

“What?”

Zhang Ruochen noticed a light shadow, and it was the memories of the seventh lifetime, including saintly way comprehension from ‘Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Map.’ That light shadow had been sealed the entire time, and Zhang Ruochen never thought of touching it.

“My power should increase after integrating it. Not much, but still a good thing.”

Zhang Ruochen then recalled Ling Feiyu.

Every time he had mentioned the seventh lifetime, Ling Feiyu always looked awkward. Zhang Ruochen suspected that something must’ve happened in the seventh lifetime, which was why he’d never integrated it.

“What’re you thinking? Improving your power is the most important thing.”

Zhang Ruochen stopped overthinking, broke the seal of that light shadow, and started to refine it.
