Chapter 12: Who Pooped On It?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
By the time he successfully absorbed this wave of breakthrough points, Zhu Wuyang had already stabilized his Early-stage Golden Bones Refinement strength.
At this moment, his combat strength had more than doubled from before.
If an ordinary martial artist were to encounter such a good thing, they would already be beaming with joy. However, Zhu Wuyang could only smile bitterly and feel even more uneasy.
Nothing was more important than the stomach. Since things had come to this, there was no point in worrying. It was better to eat first.
When he opened the two food boxes, a fragrance immediately assaulted his nose, making Zhu Wuyang’s stomach tighten and grumble.
“Congratulations to the host for smelling the fragrance of delicacies for the first time in your life. You have received 200 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations to the host for feeling hungry for the first time in your life. You have received 300 breakthrough points…”
… .
Zhu Wuyang’s expression darkened. He could only cover the food box again and absorb this wave of breakthrough points first.
The strange power transformed from more than 400 breakthrough points increased Zhu Wuyang’s strength by a little, and he was closer to advancing to the next realm.
With a bitter smile, Zhu Wuyang opened the food box and placed the delicacies on the desk.
He was not worried that someone would poison him. After all, Zhu Wuyang becoming the Crown Prince of the Jiu Zhao Nation was what everyone wanted. Those Princes and Princesses were still hoping that he could live a little longer as the Crown Prince, lest it became their turn to be the Crown Prince next.
These Princes, Princesses, Concubines, and beauties could not wait to protect him. How could they easily poison him and kill Zhu Wuyang, their shield?
Not to mention, before this, Zhu Wu even let Lai Chun and Chu Xia taste the food inside to ensure that it was not poisonous. Only then did he feel at ease and bring it to the study to enjoy.
Although he was an unpopular “waiting for death” Prince, Zhu Wuyang could still enjoy the treatment he deserved. This lunch was quite sumptuous.
Braised shark fin, royal roasted deer tendon, stir-fried phoenix tongue, poached pork tenderloin, Hundred Birds Phoenix Soup… Every dish was a delicacy of the palace, and its taste far surpassed any delicacy Zhu Wuyang had tasted on Earth.
Could it be because the cooks utilized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, or was it because of the astonishing skills of the imperial chefs in the palace?
Zhu Wuyang did not think too much about it and enjoyed the food to his heart’s content. Then, he was bombarded by a series of System notifications.
“Congratulations to the host for eating for the first time in your life. You have received 1,000 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations to the host for feeling very happy for the first time in your life. You have obtained 400 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations to the host for tasting the Yellow Ribbon Shark Fin for the first time in your life. You have received 100 breakthrough points…”
… .
More than a dozen notifications appeared, allowing Zhu Wuyang to obtain another few thousand breakthrough points. He could not be bothered to enjoy the delicacies anymore. Zhu Wuyang immediately sat cross-legged and circulated the Grand Earth Limitless Technique with all his might, absorbing the endless strange energy.
This strange energy was transformed into pure Earth Qi and blood at an astonishing speed, forming large clouds of Qi and blood that enveloped the bones in Zhu Wuyang’s body.
Tempering, hammering, nourishing… The process was carried out in an orderly manner. More and more golden light spots appeared on his bones, gradually dyeing the bones golden.
With his previous experience of tempering his skin, muscles, and tendons, Zhu Wuyang became more and more proficient in tempering his bones.
Moreover, Zhu Wuyang could clearly feel that because all the meridians in his body had been cleared, the circulation of his Earth Qi and blood was extremely smooth. The refinement of his bones had also become deeper and more comprehensive.
The unobstructed meridians could allow Zhu Wuyang to effectively absorb every bit of the strange power and transform it into Earth Qi and blood without any harm. It could also allow Zhu Wuyang’s body to store more Qi and blood power, far surpassing martial artists of the same level.
The two could not be compared!
By the time all the bones in Zhu Wuyang’s body were dyed golden, once his blood essence power circulated at full power, all his bones would become golden. This also meant that Zhu Wuyang’s strength had stepped into a new realm.
Mid-stage Golden Bones Refinement!
“Congratulations to the host for stepping into the mid-stage of the Golden Bones Refinement Realm for the first time in your life. You have obtained 1,000 breakthrough points…”
Zhu Wuyang felt the huge increase in strength and his expression turned bitter. He felt that it was even more difficult to hide now. The level of the Azure Dragon Concealment Art was still not enough.
A Meridian Forging Realm martial artist should be able to detect his true strength at this moment.
However, there were so many High-level Meridian Forging Realm martial artists in the Crown Prince Palace, and there was no lack of Meridian Forging Realm martial artists who had grasped secret detection techniques. It was actually not difficult to discover his true strength.
While Zhu Wuyang was worried about this, Lai Chun and Chu Xia, who were carrying a bag of incense wood ashes out, encountered two guards from the Crown Prince Palace.
“Lai Chun, Chu Xia, what did the two of you take out from the Crown Prince’s chamber? It seems quite heavy?”
“His Highness has just succeeded as the Crown Prince and is already very poor. Don’t take away what little assets he has left.”
… .
The two guards sized up Lai Chun and Chu Xia with smiles. Their words were filled with ridicule, but their gazes were very sharp as they stared fixedly at the ashes wrapped in brocade.
These two guards were not the men of the 38th Prince, Zhu Wensi. They were the trusted aides of the 47th Prince, Zhu Yandu. They were also spies sent to the Crown Prince’s Palace to carry out secret operations.
The one with a thick pair of eyebrows was called Zhen Le, and the other was called Feng Yuan.
Zhen Le and Feng Yuan, the two imperial guards who had already broken through to the Meridian Forging Realm, were clearly suspicious of Lai Chun and Chu Xia.
Seeing this scene, Lai Chun and Chu Xia looked at each other and knew that they could not avoid it. They sighed at their bad luck and opened the brocade bag for Zhen Le and Feng Yuan to check.
“There’s only some ashes in here. The Crown Prince is probably in a bad mood and feels that the thousand-year-old incense wooden bed in the chamber is unlucky, so he burned it. We’re just helping to clean it up and throw it out.”
“If you don’t believe me, you can search carefully and see if there’s anything suspicious inside. This way, you can better convict us of our crimes.”
… .
Zhen Le and Feng Yuan sneered. They squatted down and started to search carefully. Indeed, they discovered that there were only some ordinary ashes in the bag. It was just that it smelled a little bad.
“Since it’s just some ashes, hurry up and throw them out. However, these ashes are too smelly.”
“Did the two of you poop on it? Or did our Crown Prince poop on it? This smell is really strong.”
… .
Lai Chun and Chu Xia blushed. They spat at the two of them, picked up a bag of ashes, and left without looking back.
After Lai Chun and Chu Xia left, Zhen Le and Feng Yuan looked at each other and quickly walked towards Zhu Wuyang’s bedroom.
