"Do you remember?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure?"
"There's no room for error on the path of cultivation. I won't dare to be careless. If I really don't understand, I won't pretend."
Uncle Zhong nodded. The cousins were good. They were talented and honest.
He looked at Zheng Fugui.
He had also listened just now, but the Great Dao Righteous Song was too profound. He had only remembered more than half of it and had yet to comprehend it.
It was not that his talent was not good, but that Zhang Ronghua's talent was too strong. He had accumulated it until now and was far from what he could compare to.
Seeing that his cousin had obtained a powerful cultivation technique, he was also tempted and looked at Uncle Zhong eagerly.
"The cultivation technique you're cultivating now is not bad. I won't teach you the cultivation technique."
Zheng Fugui was shocked. "Ah!"
Uncle Zhong smiled and shook his head, indicating that the young man should be more patient.
"You're born with divine strength and shocking strength. As your cultivation increases, your strength increases. I have a fist technique here called the Mountain River World Suppressing Fist. It's powerful and suits you."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhong!"
"Watch carefully."
He took a stance and punched out. As he practiced, he chanted the incantation. Although he did not use his cultivation, it formed a huge aura of its own, carrying the vastness of mountains and rivers and the grand momentum.
After one round, he retracted his fist and stood up.
Uncle Zhong looked at Zhang Ronghua meaningfully before looking at Zheng Fugui. "Have you memorized it?"
"I remember half of it."
After three consecutive demonstrations, he remembered everything.
"We'll leave for the capital at noon. Prepare yourselves."
When he left, Zheng Fugui asked, "Cousin, did you learn it too?"
"Yes."
"I knew it was impossible for you not to learn with your talent."
"This fist technique is very strong. Cultivate it diligently."
"I will."
They entered the room.
Zhang Ronghua sat down on the bed. He had gained a lot from this trip. Not only had he obtained the Great Dao Righteous Song, but he had also obtained the Mountain River World Suppressing Fist. Both martial arts were divine powers. Once he mastered them, his strength would increase greatly.
He mobilized the Righteousness Qi in his dantian and cultivated the Great Dao Righteous Song. It took him two hours to cultivate it to the initial level. His Righteousness Qi increased by five times and his power became stronger.
With the system's cultivation technique, all the Righteousness Qi was condensed in the Righteousness Qi Bead. If he did not reveal it, no one would be able to tell.
Even his soul power had increased greatly. Before this, his soul power was at the Perfected Earth-grade. Now that it had broken through to the Heaven-grade, it was comparable to the first level of the Celestial Realm.
The realms of soul power were divided into Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.
Those who cultivated soul power were commonly known as Soul Masters. Their methods were mysterious and powerful.
However, there were very few of them. To become a Soul Master, one had to be born with a powerful soul to withstand the pain of tempering their soul.
Moreover, even a simple Yellow-grade cultivation technique was priceless. It was often in the hands of large factions and rarely circulated outside.
As a member of the Imperial Guards, the cultivation technique he had cultivated previously and obtained from killing evil cultivators was far less profound than what Uncle Zhong had taught him.
He got out of bed.
He began to cultivate the Mountain River World Suppressing Fist. A terrifying fist might enveloped the room, majestic and mighty. Every punch contained extreme power.
In less than an hour, he had grasped the basics.
It was almost noon when Zhang Ronghua stopped. After lunch, he rode the Divine Heavenly Dragon Horse and the group rushed toward the capital.
He took the official road.
This time, there were no more accidents. With Uncle Zhong around, the person behind the scenes knew that if he sent someone to kill them again, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. He would court death and might even be exposed. He did not attack.
Back in the capital.
They parted at the east gate. Zhang Ronghua rushed towards the East Palace with Zheng Fugui to report to the Crown Prince.
Only two people were present.
Zheng Fugui's curiosity, which he had suppressed for the past few days, came. He could not help but ask, "Cousin, is Ning Xue really as beautiful as the rumors say?"
Glaring at him, the latter lowered his head guiltily, as if his thoughts had been seen through.
"You're itching for a beating, aren't you? I'll talk to Uncle later and ask him to loosen your muscles."
"No!"
He ignored him and left.
When he arrived at the East Palace, he handed the Divine Heavenly Dragon Horse to the flood dragon guard at the door and entered the Hall of Providence.
The Crown Prince had just returned from the palace. He had received the news and was waiting for him here.
"Sit!"
The two of them sat in chairs.
"I've heard about Xueyan's matter. You've worked hard this time."
"It's my duty."
He looked at Zheng Fugui and gestured for him to leave.
The latter was puzzled and puzzled. "Why is His Highness winking at me?"
Zhang Ronghua said, "Go out first."
"Oh."
Zheng Fugui left and closed the hall door.
Qing'er took out a Go board and placed it on the table. Then she retreated, leaving them alone.
"I heard from Qing'er that your Go skills are very high. How about playing a round with me?"
"Alright!"
The two of them sat around the table. Zhang Ronghua held the black piece while the Crown Prince held the white piece. He placed a piece in the middle and said, "Was it relaxing after going on a trip?"
"I'm happy to serve Your Highness."
"You're a smart person. I won't persuade you."
There was a pause before he spoke again.
"If possible, I don't want this to happen. However, in this position, there are some things that you can't decide. Humans are harmless, but tigers have the intention to eat humans. For example, the Tenth Prince and the others. Even Princess Anping, a mere woman, wants to harm me. If we don't eliminate them completely, once they seize the opportunity, the one who will die will be me. Once I've lost my power, none of these people around me can escape. Your Zhang family's third-generation Flood Dragon Guards are upright and have long been classified as my faction. We share victory and defeat."
Zhang Ronghua knew it was time to express his stance. "Don't worry, Your Highness. I'm yours."
The Crown Prince patted his shoulder in satisfaction and took out two purple jade boxes. He placed them on the table. "In the jade box on the left is the Essence Augmenting Pill. It's a low-grade Earth-grade pill that has the effect of delaying aging, nourishing energy, and concentration. This is a gift from me to your parents. The food box on the right is a hundred-year-old ginseng. You're now at the second level of the Grandmaster realm. After consuming it, you can increase by a small realm or even two small realms."
"Thank you for the treasure, Your Highness!"
The Crown Prince rose from his chair and waved him away.
Putting away the jade box, Zhang Ronghua left.
The hall door closed.
Qing'er came over with a puzzled expression. "Your Highness, why are you so good to him?"
"Can you deal with the Yellow Spring Ancient Bug?"
"I can't!"
"Can you and Shuang'er do it together?"
"No."
"But he could." The Crown Prince's eyes flickered as he didn't hide anything from her.
"I suspect that he's hiding his strength. His true cultivation is more than that!"
Qing'er was shocked and frowned. "Could it be that even my Profound Heaven Eye Technique can't see through him?"
"If I let you enter the Imperial Palace Armory, can you obtain the Black Yellow Heaven Splitting Diagram?"
As if guessing that she wanted to say that the two were unrelated, the Crown Prince answered, "There's no such thing as luck. All luck is based on one's strength."
