Chapter 1542: Two Weaknesses

Drinking Six Saints to Heaven Wine could transform the body constitution of low-level refiners into saint bodies, which was extremely valuable to any large field. They could continuously cultivate elite monks using that.

If Chi Yao knew that the Crazy Alcoholic was able to make Six Saints to Heaven Wine, she would’ve never let the Moon Goddess take him.

Zhang Ruochen said, “How about me giving you the ingredients?”

“Still no, unless you get the approval from the Moon Goddess.”

The Crazy Alcoholic valued the Honghua Vine a lot, and he feared that Zhang Ruochen might seize it from him.

“Okay, I’ll have to wait then.”

Universe World was sealed in Heaven World, so Zhang Ruochen could bring Six Saints to Heaven Wine in, which was why he didn’t need Six Saints to Heaven Wine that much.

Zhang Ruochen then said, “Then could you make me a hundred batches of Dragon and Mad Oxen Wine?”

“Sure!”

The Crazy Alcoholic immediately agreed and asked, “Then this Honghua Vine?”

“It’s yours now!” Zhang Ruochen said.

The Crazy Alcoholic was so happy that he almost jumped up, putting the Honghua Vine in his space ring.

The Crazy Alcoholic touched his ring with a smile. He was afraid that Zhang Ruochen might be upset, so he said, “Zhang Ruochen, this Honghua Vine is worth more than two hundred thousand saint stones on the market, but my one hundred bottles of Dragon and Mad Oxen Wine aren’t cheap either. It’s a fair trade.”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t care whether it was fair or not. To him, anything that could be solved by saint stones was a minor issue. Those who only cared about benefits could never attain something great.

Blackie sneered as it thought Zhang Ruochen shouldn’t just let the Crazy Alcoholic slide that easily as it reckoned he should at least make a thousand, or even ten thousand bottles of Dragon and Mad Oxen Wine.

The Crazy Alcoholic shot Blackie a glance and said, “I’m the only one from Kunlun’s Field who can make Dragon and Mad Oxen Wine, which means I can set its price. Even if you sell it for ten thousand saint stones a bottle, there’ll be buyers.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “Why did you even say something like that? Our friendship can’t be measured by saint stones. You’re helping me by making Dragon and Mad Oxen Wine, and I’m helping you by giving you the Honghua Vine.”

The Crazy Alcoholic knew what kind of a person Zhang Ruochen was, and he knew that Zhang Ruochen would always stand by his friends’ side. He said, “Okay, I’m taking advantage of you this time. If you need my help in the future, just ask.”

“That’s more like it.” Blackie smiled.

Zhang Ruochen had faith in the Crazy Alcoholic’s character. Although he could be a bit greedy sometimes, he would never cross the bottom line.

Which was why Zhang Ruochen gave the Buddha sarira to the Crazy Alcoholic and said, “Can you make the high-class Dragon and Mad Oxen Wine in a month?”

The Crazy Alcoholic’s eyes glowed when he held the Buddha sarira in his hand as he really wanted to swallow it in his stomach. But he suppressed the greed, nodded and said, “Of course.”

Gu Songzi was anxious seeing the Crazy Alcoholic get a Honghua Vine. He said, “Don’t you want a Tiangang Purple Fire Rune, Zhang Ruochen? I can make them. How many do you want?”

“How many can you make in a month?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Gu Songzi said, “As long as you can prepare the materials as soon as possible, I can make three.”

Gu Songzi wasn’t good at combat, but he was highly-achieved in mind power, pill way, poison way, and runes. Zhang Ruochen had seen Gu Songzi use Tiangang Purple Fire Runes before, and its power posed a threat to even saint kings.

Zhang Ruochen obtained lots of attack runes in Zuling Field, but they could only be used to fight ordinary saints. They couldn’t do any damage to saint kings.

Any attack rune that could fight against a saint king could be sold at a terrifically high price in the market, much more valuable than hundred Dragon and Mad Oxen Wine. Ordinary saints wouldn’t be able to afford them.

“What kind of materials do you need?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Gu Songzi hesitated a bit and said, “There’re four main materials required to make a Tiangan Purple Fire Rune, and each of them is invaluable. When I was in Kunlun’s Field, I spent all my savings and only managed to make five.”

And then, Gu Songzi wrote down the names of the four main materials. “Tiangang Stone, Thousand-Year Purple Flame Flower, Fire Dragon Blood Incense, Ground-Level Rune Paper.”

Zhang Ruocen took the paper, thought for a while and made some changes to it.

The final four materials were, Supreme Tiangang Stone, Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Flame Flower, Saint King Purple Flame Flower, and Sky-Level Rune Paper.

Gu Songzi’s heart skipped a beat after reading the paper.

The four materials he just wrote down would already cost a lot, and the materials Zhang Ruochen wrote down were of a higher class, which might cost dozens of times more.

Ordinary saint kings would go bankrupt before they could afford them.

Of course, the better the materials were, the stronger the Tiangang Purple Fire Runes would be.

Zhang Ruochen gave Blackie the paper and said, “Spend all the treasures in Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land buying all these materials. If you don’t have enough saint stones, then come to me. I stored a lot of saint stones.”

Zhang Ruochen had obtained the entire treasury of Blue Dragon Dynasty in Blue Dragon Void World, and it had a lot of saint stones. He had also seized lots of saint stones in Zuling Field.

This meant saint stones were one of the last things Zhang Ruochen was worried about now.

Power!

If he could gain more power using saint stones, then he would be willing to spend as many as he could.

Money also mattered a lot in Heaven World.

“I don’t have enough people.”

It was such an important matter, yet he had to leave it to Blackie, who wasn’t dependable. Zhang Ruochen could feel that he needed many more people.

In the end, Zhang Ruochen summoned Demonic Sound and asked her to do it with Blackie. Meanwhile, Zhang Ruochen also thought about whether he should ask Han Qiu, Le, and Princess White Li to come to Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land or not. He might also be able to select some talents with great cultivation from Sacred Central Empire.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head.

Now, Mount Yuanxu Sacred Land was being spied on by a group of enemies he didn’t know of. If he asked them to come here, they might get killed, which would be a huge loss for Zhang Ruochen.

I’ll wait for a while first. I at least need to figure out who they are and how strong they are, Zhang Ruochen thought.

Zhang Ruochen took out a Honghua Vine and gave it to Gu Songzi, and then, he stepped into the inner space of the Time and Space Crystal and kept studying sword way.

He stayed in the Time and Space Crystal for a month.

With the help of Honghua Vines and a Rules Emperor Weapon, Zhang Ruochen finally added two more sword way rules to his body, which meant he had become a half-step saint king.

“I only became a half-step saint king by refining four sword way rules. I still have a long way to go before becoming an actual saint king.”

Every saintly way monk needed to merge a different number of saintly way rules in their saint souls. The quality of their saintly way rules was also different, so their seeds of rules were never the same.

The seeds of rules of some monks only had twenty kinds of saintly way rules.

As for talents like the heirs, their seeds of rules had over a hundred kinds of rules.

This was why every creature who had become a half-step saint king was an individual being, and they would start to refine different saintly ways following different paths. They needed to comprehend by themselves to develop a new way.

Certainly, there were monks who had exactly the same kind and quality of saintly way rules, but it wasn’t easy to meet a pair. Besides, even if they had the same seeds of rules, their race, body constitution, character, and sex would also have an impact on their saintly way paths.

If everyone’s saintly way was different, how could someone tell whether a creature was a saint king or not? And how did people classify saint kings using their power?

No monks were able to give an accurate answer. They could only extrapolate.

In Kunlun’s Field, only one of the ten godly weapons, Emperor Divine Ruler, was able to measure the level of a saint king accurately.

In Heaven World, saint kings needed to go to ‘Nine Steps to Sky Path’ to accurately measure their levels.

Otherwise, even saint kings themselves could only approximately measure their levels. Some people would overestimate themselves, while some would do the opposite, and when it came to a battle of life or death, those who overestimated themselves would mostly get killed.

There were three hundred and seventy-two saintly way rules in Zhang Ruochen’s body, including two ancient ways and several supreme saintly ways. He had an immensely powerful seed of rules, which meant it would be difficult for him to refine.

Zhang Ruochen had no idea how to become a first-step saint king, but he knew that there was a huge gap between half-step saint kings and first-step saint kings.

“I need to have ten palm way rules first, then I can refine the eleventh palm of Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm and perform a mid-level saint spell.”

Zhang Ruochen was only able to perform low-level saint spells so far, which was a huge disadvantage.

He could easily deal with normal talents, but if he encountered those who were ranked in the top one thousand on the ‘Saints Merits Rank,’ those heirs who had supreme complete bodies, this disadvantage would show.

There were more than eight thousand secular fields under Heaven World, so even if someone picked the most powerful being from each field, there would be more than eight thousand of them. And besides, the more effective the refining environment a field had, the more talents and great beings the field would produce.

People like Wu Hao and Fang Yi were ranked low among the real top-tier beings at the state of saint. To put that into perspective, they couldn’t get into the ‘Saints Merits Rank’ at all.

Those who were ranked in the top one thousand all had extraordinary talents, body constitution, opportunities, and backgrounds.

“I haven’t comprehended the rules of truth, and I still haven’t refined mid-level saint spells. These are my two biggest weaknesses. Fortunately, I can still use the power of time and space to make them up, but what if I run into other people who also master the ancient ways? Like Princess Luosha…I’ve never actually defeated her yet.”

Zhang Ruochen knew that he would run into the real talents from Heaven World, and he would be challenged by countless people, as he was ranked in first place on the ‘Saints Merits Rank.’

He had to make up for his weaknesses if he didn’t want to lose.
