Chapter 7: The Heartless Saber Technique

Zhang Ruochen showed no emotion and said indifferently, "Then congratulations, cousin. From now on, we will be even more closely related."

After saying this, Zhang Ruochen turned around and left.

For the first time they met, Zhang Ruochen had no good feelings towards this beautiful cousin. Since they had nothing in common to talk about, he left somewhat listlessly.

Seeing Zhang Ruochen's lack of response, all the young martial artists of the Lin family were greatly disappointed.

How could this be?

Looking at Zhang Ruochen's nonchalant attitude, Lin Ningshan's heart was also somewhat disappointed. She stared at Zhang Ruochen's receding back and said unwillingly, "Don't you want to know the reason?"

Lin Ningshan was really not interested in who she was engaged to, but since she insisted on telling him, he naturally had to listen with reluctance. He nodded slightly and said, "I will definitely come to offer my congratulations when you get engaged. If there's nothing else, I'll go find my mother."

Just as he finished speaking, Zhang Fei'er walked out of the inner courtyard of the Lin residence.

Zhang Fei'er's eyes were red, obviously she had just cried. Although she had wiped away her tears, how could she hide it from Zhang Ruochen?

Zhang Ruochen immediately went forward and asked with concern, "Mother, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Zhang Fei'er shook her head and said, "It's nothing. Let's go back."

It was obvious that something was wrong with Zhang Fei'er.

After seeing Lin Ningshan, Zhang Ruochen had no good feelings towards the Lin family at all.

Seeing Zhang Fei'er's appearance now, he had even less good feelings towards the Lin family.

"Wait a minute!"

Lin Fengxian walked out of the inner courtyard with his hands behind his back and glanced at Zhang Ruochen. He took out a scroll of animal skin ancient books from his sleeve and said, "This is a human-level inferior cultivation technique called 'Tai'a Jue', which can open up seven meridians. Take it and practice. Although it's not a high-level cultivation technique, it should be enough to complete the washing marrow and breaking through the meridians for you."

After that, Lin Fengxian ordered someone to bring two portions of washing marrow fluid and said coldly, "After all, you also have our Lin family's blood in you. These two portions of washing marrow fluid are also given to you!"

Zhang Fei'er stared deeply at Lin Fengxian and gave him a grateful look. She immediately pulled Zhang Ruochen's hand and said, "Er'er, don't forget to thank your uncle."

Zhang Ruochen looked at Lin Fengxian's condescending expression and was very unhappy. No wonder his mother's eyes were red. It was estimated that his mother had suffered a lot in front of him just now in order to ask for a scroll of cultivation techniques.

"We don't need the Lin family's charity, mother. Let's go!"

Zhang Ruochen ignored the cultivation technique and washing marrow fluid offered by Lin Fengxian and pulled Zhang Fei'er to leave the Lin residence.

"They don't know what's good for them. They really think they're princes." All the young martial artists of the Lin family snorted and sneered.

Lin Ningshan stared at the young man who had walked out of the Lin residence resolutely and was even more surprised. She always felt that her cousin, who had been weak since childhood, seemed to have changed.

"Now that he has opened the divine martial mark, he will naturally become more confident. However, he doesn't know that opening the divine martial mark at the age of sixteen is already too late for the best time to practice martial arts. What's the point of thinking about it? In the future, we will definitely be in two different worlds."

Lin Ningshan sighed and returned to the training ground to continue practicing.

After leaving the Lin residence, Zhang Fei'er said, "Er'er, you were too impulsive. As long as you can become a martial artist and use martial arts to strengthen your body, mother will not mind suffering any grievances."

Zhang Ruochen stood up straight and turned to look at the golden plaque of the Lin residence. He said firmly, "Mother, don't worry! Even without the Lin family's charity, I can still become a martial artist, and I want to be a strong martial artist."

Zhang Fei'er let out a soft sigh and didn't continue talking. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, she said, "Er'er, you already know that Lin Ningshan is going to get engaged to Prince Qi, right? You must not be too sad!"

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry! There are many good women in the world, and there are always better women than Lin Ningshan."

"If you can think like this, mother will really feel at ease." Zhang Fei'er said with relief.

After returning to the Yunwu Royal Palace, Zhang Ruochen took the last blood dan and entered the inner space of the Space Spirit Crystal. He started practicing the Dragon Elephant Banshee Fist again.

After exhausting himself, he sat down and rested for a while.

"Mother has suffered so much humiliation from the Lin family. I will definitely make the Lin family pay back double. What happened three years ago? I have to find an opportunity to ask Yun'er about it. Of course, my first goal now is to break through to the middle stage of the Yellow Extreme Realm as soon as possible."

If he wants to break through to the middle stage of the Yellow Extreme Realm, he must take the washing marrow fluid.

The price of one portion of washing marrow fluid is at least two hundred silver coins.

Two hundred silver coins are not a small amount for Zhang Ruochen.

Moreover, he is practicing the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra". If he wants to break through to the middle stage of the Yellow Extreme Realm, one portion of washing marrow fluid is obviously not enough.

"I have it!"

Zhang Ruochen slapped his forehead and cursed himself for being too stupid. Obviously, he has a huge treasure house, but he still spends his days earning silver coins.

You know, his previous life was the son of the Ming Emperor, and he had read many high-level cultivation techniques and martial arts skills, all of which were engraved in his mind. If he took out any one of them, it could cause a sensation in Yunwu County.

The "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra" and the Dragon Elephant Banshee Fist are all divine skills in the entire Kunlun Realm. Naturally, they cannot be sold.

In his memory, there are also some low-level cultivation techniques and martial arts skills. If he takes out any one of them, it can cause a stir in Yunwu County.

Zhang Ruochen immediately found paper and ink and wrote down a set of spiritual-level martial arts skills, the "Heartless Saber Technique".

The Heartless Saber Technique is already the lowest-level martial arts skill in Zhang Ruochen's memory.

Spiritual level, inferior grade.

"Spiritual-level inferior-grade martial arts skills should be considered top-notch martial arts skills in Yunwu County. Even in big families like the Lin family, the strongest martial arts skills are probably spiritual-level inferior-grade, and at most, there are only one or two sets, which are used as the family's unique skills."

You know, in Yunwu County, many martial artists have no chance to practice martial arts. Even human-level inferior-grade martial arts skills are extraordinary treasures for them.

The lowest-priced human-level inferior-grade martial arts skills cost at least three hundred silver coins. Some powerful human-level inferior-grade martial arts skills can even sell for more than one thousand silver coins. Ordinary martial arts散修can't afford them. Some martial artists even fight desperately for a human-level inferior-grade martial arts skill.

As for spiritual-level inferior-grade martial arts skills, once they are sold, even the heads of big families will be tempted and will do whatever it takes to buy the martial arts skills.

Having one more spiritual-level martial arts skill will greatly increase the family's foundation.

After writing down the practice method of the Heartless Saber Technique, Zhang Ruochen also drew the small pictures of each move of the saber technique on the paper.

Zhang Ruochen concentrated all the rare true qi in his body into the tip of the pen and condensed the true qi and the martial arts concept into the pictures of the saber techniques.

After exhausting all his true qi, he only finished drawing one picture.

Zhang Ruochen immediately sat down and practiced the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra" to fill his qi pool with true qi. Then he started drawing the second picture.

It took him half a day to finish drawing all twelve pictures of the "Heartless Saber Technique".

Although his cultivation level is no longer there, his eyesight is still good, and his understanding of martial arts is still there. The drawn saber techniques are all exquisite and have no difference from the original ones in the "Heartless Saber Technique".

"With my current understanding of martial arts, drawing spiritual-level inferior-grade martial arts skills is already the limit. If I were asked to draw the pictures of spiritual-level middle-grade martial arts skills, I might only be able to draw one-third of the charm of the spiritual-level middle-grade martial arts skills."

Martial arts secrets cannot be copied and printed casually.

Ordinary people, even if they can write down the incantation and the pictures of the saber techniques of the "Heartless Saber Technique", will only have the form but not the power. Even if they practice the saber technique successfully, they will never be able to reach the power of the spiritual-level inferior-grade saber technique.

Zhang Ruochen was a great master in the Heavenly Extreme Realm in his previous life. He could only draw the charm of the spiritual-level inferior-grade saber technique. He could not draw the full charm of higher-level martial arts skills.

"The spiritual-level inferior-grade saber technique should be able to sell for a good price."

Zhang Ruochen did not immediately take the "Heartless Saber Technique" to the martial arts market. Instead, he waited until dark and then walked towards the gate of the palace.

"Prince Nine, are you going out of the palace so late?" The two guards at the palace gate said.

The two guards also knew that Prince Nine and Lady Lin had been driven to the side hall. This meant that they had lost power in the palace. Therefore, they did not show any respect on their faces and did not even salute Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen was no longer the weak Zhang Ruochen he used to be. He stared at the two guards with sharp eyes and straightened his chest, saying, "This prince is going to the Lin residence to find Cousin Ningshan. Why don't you open the palace gate immediately?"

After all, Zhang Ruochen is a royal prince. The two guards will not really offend him. They opened the palace gate and watched Zhang Ruochen leave.

"What's so hard about it? If he weren't the son of Prince Yunwu, he would have died countless times long ago." One of the guards said with a sneer.

"It is said that Lin Ningshan, the talented woman of the Lin family, is going to get engaged to Prince Qi. He still doesn't give up. He's really stupid." The other guard said disdainfully.

Zhang Ruochen naturally didn't really go to see Lin Ningshan. He just used this excuse to leave the palace without being suspected.

After leaving the palace, Zhang Ruochen took out a wide black cloak from the Space Spirit Crystal and wrapped his whole body in it. He then walked into the brightly lit Wangcheng.

In the darkness, no one could see his face.

Not long after, Zhang Ruochen walked through the bustling streets and entered the Wushi Market.

The other places in the Wangcheng can only be regarded as "ordinary markets". The area occupied by the "Wushi Market" is only one-tenth of the entire Wangcheng, but it is the most prosperous place in Yunwu County.

The Wushi Market is divided into five areas: the Dan Market, the Qi Market, the Beast Market, the Slave Market, and the Central Auction House.

The Wushi Market to a certain extent determines the rise and fall of the entire Yunwu County. Therefore, the county has strict management over the Wushi Market.

There are soldiers at each entrance to the Wushi Market. Only martial artists or people of noble status are eligible to enter the Wushi Market.
