Yuan Zun: Starting with the Eight Ancestral Symbols

Chapter 7: First Meeting with Zhou Yuan
Although the palace of the Great Zhou royal family is no longer as prosperous as it was in the past, it is still magnificent, with carved beams and painted rafters. The majestic atmosphere can still be felt, which makes people feel awe.

"Stop, what's the matter?"

The soldier at the door stretched out his hand and blocked Mu Chen's way. This is the royal palace and no one is allowed to enter.

"My name is Muchen, and I want to make a deal with the king. I have a spiritual liquid that can heal the body." Muchen said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

He wanted to use the Ancestral Stone Spirit Liquid to trade for the admission quota to the Great Zhou Mansion. As the founder of the Great Zhou Mansion, Zhou Qing definitely had the authority to do so. This was a very simple method.

The two soldiers looked at each other, and one of them walked into the palace to report to the king.

This kind of thing is not something they can decide easily.

In the palace, wisps of light green smoke were curling around, emitting a strange fragrance. A middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe was sitting on the throne. He had a firm face and a majestic air between his brows.

He was Zhou Qing. Behind him there was a faint aura rising, like fire or thunder, making a low rumbling sound.

The sleeve of the right arm was empty, obviously the arm was broken.

"Please ask him to come in." Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and decided to meet this Muchen. This was the first time he encountered such a situation, so he was very curious.

The soldier saluted respectfully and walked towards the entrance of the palace.

"Brother Muchen, the king agrees to see you." The soldier led the way for Muchen and his attitude became much better.

On the way, Muchen was also observing the palace. The patrolling soldiers were basically all Source Masters, or at least at the Qi-Nourishing Realm.

The Tianguan Realm should be a small commander with some soldiers under his command, and the status of a Taichu Realm powerhouse is the highest except for the king. The Great Zhou Dynasty does not have a Shenfu Realm powerhouse now, otherwise it would have directly counterattacked the Dawu Dynasty.

"I have met His Highness!"

A boy of about twelve or thirteen was walking in the garden. He looked a little thin, pale, and weak, as if he lacked blood. The soldiers saluted him directly with respect on their faces.

Muchen looked at the handsome young man in front of him. He was called His Highness, so he should be His Highness Zhou Yuan of the Great Zhou. He looked very thin, and many of his peers were stronger than him.

The luck of the Holy Dragon has been taken away, and there is also the hidden danger of the resentful dragon poison. This kind of start is indeed the configuration for the protagonist.

If his luck had not been taken away, Zhou Yuan's realm would at least be the Tianguan realm. He would be born with the luck of a holy dragon, and his eight meridians would open naturally, allowing him to reach the Yangqi realm directly. His starting point would have surpassed many of his peers.

"Who is this?" Zhou Yuan waved his hand casually, looked at Muchen with his light golden eyes, and asked curiously.

He seldom went out and had never seen Muchen, but his intuition told him that the handsome young man in front of him was very unusual and different from those young men in the Great Zhou Palace.

"Your Highness, this is Brother Muchen who wants to see the King. I will lead the way for him," the soldier replied.

"Well...you continue to do your thing, I will take him to see father." Zhou Yuan nodded and waved to the soldiers.

"This……"

The soldier looked at Zhou Yuan hesitantly. If Muchen suddenly attacked Zhou Yuan, it would be his fault.

"Oh, don't worry, he is not my enemy." Zhou Yuan shook his head.

Seeing this, the soldier bowed and left.

He was just a subordinate, just following orders. "Your Highness of the Great Zhou, aren't you afraid that I will attack you?" Mu Chen teased with interest. Su Youwei's grandfather was now cured by him, so Su Youwei and Zhou Yuan had no intersection, so this was considered cutting Zhou Yuan off?
"Just call me Zhou Yuan." Zhou Yuan didn't put on any airs and just smiled helplessly.

"Well, just call me Muchen. You look a little weak. You should exercise more." Muchen pretended not to know Zhou Yuan's condition and joked with a smile.

Zhou Yuan's mouth twitched, and then he said with a slightly lonely look: "I have been in poor health since I was a child. I have exercised, but it didn't have any effect."

Muchen nodded, thinking about something. It seemed that Zhou Qing and the others had not told Zhou Yuan the truth yet. Zhou Yuan didn't know his specific situation yet and only thought that he was born with a weak constitution.

"Yuan'er, why are you here?" Zhou Qing said in surprise.

Looking at Muchen, he is such a handsome young man, full of vigor and vitality. He sighed slightly in his heart, thinking that if his son had not experienced the misfortunes in his childhood, he would not be in such a bad state now. What a trick of fate.

"Father, I just happened to meet Mu Chen. Didn't you want to see him? I brought him here."

Muchen's pupils shrank slightly. Is this the powerful person in the Taichu Realm?

Although he doesn't show off his authority, his dignified aura is still moving.

"Hey, don't make a fuss. Although he is the strongest person you have ever seen, there is still a big gap compared to the peak of Master Diao." Xiao Diao's voice sounded in Muchen's head.

Muchen removed the restrictions, so at this time, Xiao Diao could observe the outside and communicate with him.

"Yes, yes, Xiao Diao, you were a powerful Death Profound Realm expert at your peak." Muchen could tell that Xiao Diao was showing off his glorious history.

"Boy Muchen, don't worry. The fact that you're recognized by Shi Fu shows that you have great talent. There will be a day when you'll reach Master Diao's peak level." Little Diao, as a person who's experienced this, comforted Muchen.

"What are you showing off? You just blew yourself up and only the demon spirit is left." Mu Chen said jokingly, knowing that this was the thing Xiao Diao least wanted to recall.

Little Marten: “…”

If you don't mention this, we will still be good friends.

That bastard who killed him, don't let me ever see you, otherwise Master Diao will let you know why the flowers are so red. When he thought of that incident, his heart was filled with murderous intent.

A powerful being who is at least in the Wheel-Turning Realm came to kill him, a junior in the Death Profound Realm. He was really shameless. If he hadn't self-destructed, he really would not have been able to escape.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. I am Muchen." Muchen clasped his fists and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Without external devices like the ancestral stone and ancestral talisman, Muchen's attitude would be more respectful. No, he would not have come to the palace otherwise.

Unless one is a commoner with exceptional talent, he is not qualified to be in the eyes of the nobles. Even though Zhou Qing seems easy to talk to, he is the king of the Great Zhou after all.

"Mu Chen, Mu..."

Zhou Qing stroked his chin, thinking about this surname. There should be no famous family with this surname in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And Muchen's temperament is extremely rare among common people. Could he be from a hidden family? !
Muchen didn't know that Zhou Qing had imagined a lot and thought of him as a young master from a secluded family who came out to gain experience. He dressed in ordinary clothes just to hide his identity and adapt to the local customs.

"Are you from outside the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Zhou Qing asked curiously.

Zhou Yuan looked at Muchen in surprise. It turned out that he was a foreigner.
