Inscription Guild

Zhang Ruochen withdrew the Flashing Soul Sword, and stabbed it out quickly, through the gap between the claws, and hit the black giant cat's eyebrows, making a sound of metal collisions, and sparks splashed out.

"Boom!"

The flashing soul sword of the fourth-grade true weapon level was unable to break through its physical defense.

The cultivation base of the black giant cat is not strong, which is equivalent to the cultivation base of the small extreme level of the Yellow Pole Realm. How could the defense be so terrifying?

"Haha! Although this seat's cultivation base is weaker than yours by a small realm, but this seat has an indestructible body, superb martial arts skills, and fierce methods. It can completely fight across three small realms. With my current strength, even Even if you fight against a martial artist of the Great Perfection in the Yellow Realm, you can even draw a tie. Young man, die! Meow!"

The black giant cat rushed towards Zhang Ruochen again, jumped up two meters high, opened its mouth wide, and bit Zhang Ruochen's shoulder.

"Heavenly Heart Broken Plum!"

The zhenqi in Zhang Ruochen's body circulated all over his body, and when he stabbed out with a sword, seven sword qi burst out.

When the Flashing Soul Sword stabbed in front of the black giant cat, the seven sword qi gathered together and hit the black giant cat's chin.

The black giant cat screamed again, fell heavily to the ground, and shouted: "It hurts so much! It hurts me to death! Young man, how can you be so strong? You are only the highest cultivation base in the Huangji Realm, how can you do it?" Exploding the power of the Great Perfection of the Huangji Realm?"

"You have a strong physique, don't I? If I'm in the same realm, maybe I'm a little weaker than you, but now I'm one realm higher than you, and you are definitely not my opponent." Zhang Ruochen walked over with his sword .

The black giant cat is indeed very strong. If it is in the same realm, Zhang Ruochen might not be its opponent. After all, it has an immortal body and is simply invulnerable.

Seeing Zhang Ruochen approaching, the giant black cat said quickly: "Young man, I feel that since none of us can do anything to anyone, why should we continue to fight? Even if we continue to fight, it would be a waste of time. Why don't you sit down and have a good time?" talk?"

The black giant cat's defense is indeed very strong. Even the Flashing Soul Sword can't break through its physical defense. If Zhang Ruochen can defeat it, he will never be able to kill it if he continues to fight.

Zhang Ruochen stopped and said, "If you can answer a few questions for me, I can temporarily negotiate peace with you."

The black giant cat sat on the ground with a round belly, and said comfortably: "Ask! I know a hundred thousand years before and a hundred thousand years in the future. There is almost nothing I don't know about the heavens and the earth, the whirling world!"

Zhang Ruochen said: "Why did the holy monk Xumi seal you in the Qiankun Shenmu map?"

"It's a long story! Back then, I committed a heinous crime. The Holy Monk Sumi felt that my sin was serious, so he sealed me in the Qiankun Shenmu map." The pair of big black cat ears shook gently, The eyeballs rolled slickly.

Zhang Ruochen said: "What is the heinous crime?"

"Killing people like hemp, slaughtering the common people, causing harm to the world, killing dragons for courage, burning the sky and boiling the sea... well, that's about it!" said the giant black cat.

Zhang Ruochen stared at the fat body of the giant black cat, and said, "It doesn't look like it!"

"That's right! I don't think it looks the same at all. From this, it can be seen that the monk is very unreasonable, accusing me of crimes indiscriminately, and sealing me in the picture scroll world space. Hey! I don't even know Where can I reason?" The black giant cat lay on the ground with a big belly, shaking its head and sighing.

Zhang Ruochen said: "People who don't look like a bad person are actually very bad. People who don't look like a good person can sometimes do brave and righteous things."

"I'm just a cat, don't think so badly of me...Hey... boy, what are you doing?" said the giant black cat.

With a sound of "咻", the black giant cat was brought back into the Qiankun Shenmu map.

"Sure enough, as I guessed, the power of the Qiankun Shenmu map can suppress you. I am the owner of the Qiankun Shenmu map now. As long as I move my mind, I can take you back to the world space of the picture scroll." Zhang Ruochen pinched the Qiankun Shenmu map, smile slightly.

"Young boy! You must keep calm, let me out quickly, I promise to be loyal to you, and I will never disagree in the future. If you let me catch fish, I will never dare to catch mice." The black giant cat was a little anxious the way.

It has been trapped in the Qiankun Shenmu map for 100,000 years, and it finally regained its freedom. Naturally, it was unwilling to be taken back into the picture scroll.

Zhang Ruochen ignored it, put the Qiankun Shenmu map aside, and began to study the eight basic space inscriptions.

"Young man! If you want to burn the basic space inscription pattern, you must at least cultivate your spiritual power to the twentieth level. You are only so old now, it is impossible to have such a strong spiritual power! Release me quickly, my teacher You practice spiritual power." The voice of the giant black cat came from the scroll.

"Twenty ranks? My spiritual power has reached the thirty second rank. The basic inscription pattern is not too difficult for me."

Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged on the ground, opened the "Secrets of Time and Space", put it in front of him, and studied it carefully.

"How is it possible? The mental power of ordinary adults is only about tenth level. For a boy like you, it is already very good if the mental power reaches the eighth level. Even some people who are born with strong mental power, before the age of twenty, can It can only reach the fifteenth level at most. How can your spiritual power reach the thirty-second level?" The black giant cat said in disbelief.

Zhang Ruochen didn't bother to care about it, and began to study the first basic space inscription pattern, the point-shaped inscription pattern.

The voice of the giant black cat sounded from the picture scroll again, saying: "Could it be that you have been cultivating spiritual power since you were young? That's not right! At your age, even if you cultivate spiritual power since childhood, it is very powerful if you can reach level 20. How can you reach level 3?" The height of the twelfth step? Young man, how can you play better than me?"

Ordinary basic inscription patterns, you only need to cultivate your spiritual power to the fifteenth level, and you have a chance to successfully engrave them.

However, the basic inscription pattern of space is very special, more complicated and unstable than the general basic inscription pattern, and it is possible to draw it only after cultivating to the twentieth level of spiritual power.

"Wow!"

Zhang Ruochen condensed his true energy into his fingertips, and pointed it out to form a light spot, intending to draw a dot-shaped inscription pattern in the air.

I tried more than 30 times in a row, all of which ended in failure.

"Haha! Let me tell you that you are bragging! It is difficult for ordinary warriors to cultivate their spiritual power to the twentieth rank. It is even more difficult to create the basic inscription pattern of space." about it." The giant black cat laughed.

Zhang Ruochen stopped, and said to himself: "It's really difficult to draw the inscription pattern for the first time, so let's practice with spiritual paper and inscription pen first!"

When alchemists and weapon refiners first learned inscription patterns, they all practiced with inscription pens on spiritual paper. To carve the first inscription pattern on the spiritual paper, it takes at least a year of practice.

Zhang Ruochen was learning the inscription patterns for the first time, but he wanted to use his fingers to draw the inscription patterns in the air, so it was impossible for him to succeed.

Zhang Ruochen stood up, planning to buy inscription pens and spirit paper.

"Young man, take me out together! I will definitely not make trouble, I will listen to you in everything..."

Before the black giant cat finished speaking, Zhang Ruochen rolled up the Qiankun Shenmu map again, put it between his eyebrows, and walked out of the inner space of the space-time spar.

Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen left the palace and walked towards Wushi.

As soon as Zhang Ruochen left the palace, a court lady rushed to Gong Wan, where the queen lived, and passed the news to Han Qingluo.

"He finally left the palace? It's great! Arrange a team of people to leave the palace with me. Tonight will be the night of the fall of a young genius." Han Qingluo's eyes radiated a cold light, beautiful Some evil smiles appeared on the corners of his mouth.

...

When Zhang Ruochen came to Wushi, he went straight to the direction of the Mingwen Guild.

The Inscription Pattern Guild is one of the most powerful organizations in the Kunlun world, with an extremely long history. Before the birth of the First Central Empire, the Inscription Guild had already been born.

There are four major alliances under the Inscription Guild, namely: Alchemist Alliance, Artifact Refiner Alliance, Beast Master Alliance, and Stranger and Stranger Alliance.

Only in the Inscription Pattern Guild can you buy "Inscription Pen" and "Spiritual Paper".

These two items are completely monopolized by the Inscription Pattern Guild, and they cannot be bought elsewhere.

In Kunlun Realm, every city has a branch of the Inscription Pattern Guild. As the royal city of Yunwu Commandery, the Mingwen Guild was naturally built very magnificently, almost like a castle.

Outside the Inscription Pattern Guild, there is always a lot of traffic and people, not only warriors, but also alchemists in blue robes.

The back of the alchemist's robe is usually embroidered with an alchemy tripod.

The back of the robe of a craftsman is usually embroidered with a hammer.

In addition to alchemists and weapon refiners, there are also some beast masters who rode wild beasts into the inscription pattern guild majestically.

A middle-aged man in the robes of a refiner, who looked to be in his thirties, walked proudly towards the Inscription Pattern Guild with his chest up.

"Greetings, Mr. Zorn, the refiner!"

The guards standing outside the inscription guild all saluted him with respect in their eyes.

"En!" Zon nodded, without even looking at the guards, he walked straight into the gate of the Inscription Pattern Guild.

"It's actually Mr. Zon, the refiner. It is said that his spiritual power has been cultivated to the twenty-sixth level, and he is a very powerful second-grade refiner."

"Master Zon has taken seventeen disciples in total, and eight of them have become first-grade refiners. In the royal city, there are too many warriors who want to learn from Mr. Zon. Come."

"I heard that Master Zon's requirements for accepting disciples are quite high. Those whose mental strength does not reach the twelfth level will not be accepted. Those who are over twenty years old will not be accepted."

"How easy is it to cultivate one's spiritual power to the twelfth level before the age of twenty? Only those true geniuses can do it."

...

At this time, Zhang Ruochen saw two familiar figures, none other than Zhang Ji, the eighth prince, and Shan Xiangling, the daughter of Chiyun Sect Master.

They also came outside the inscription guild.

After the year-end assessment, the status of the eighth prince in the palace plummeted.

His biological mother Concubine Xiao was thrown into the cold palace, and at the same time, he became the lowest among the nine princes. Under the double blow, Hachioji was devastated.

Today, he accompanied Shan Xiangling to the Inscription Run Guild to seek apprenticeship, and wanted to become the disciple of Zon's second-rank refiner.

In terms of martial arts talent, he couldn't compare to Zhang Ruochen.

Therefore, he wanted to use other methods to surpass Zhang Ruochen and regain his position.
