A Good Romance

With regards to the Eye of Truth, Ling Han was determined to obtain it.
Ling Han thought for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, the Eye of Truth involves a Mystical Power, and at that time, there will definitely be countless people participating in the battle. Powerful warriors of Spiritual Pedestal Tier might also be shameless enough to participate. I really don't have much confidence."
Unless he drew out the Black Tower, but once the Black Tower was drawn out, there would be powerful warriors of Immortal Tier descending to snatch it. That was much more important than a Mystical Power.
Rain Emperor laughed loudly, and said, "No need to play tricks in front of me. The tournament this time is limited to those below thirty years old. If you don't have the ability to come out on top, then you can only blame yourself for not having the ability."
Ling Han thought for a moment. If it was someone below thirty years old, then the only one who could be his opponent was Feng Yan.
"You are a subject of Rain Country, so I want you to defeat Feng Yan in front of everyone in the world, and raise the prestige of Rain Country," Rain Emperor said. It was indeed as Ling Han had guessed.
Feng Yan had caused too much of a ruckus previously, and had even casually killed quite a few nobles, causing Rain Emperor to be angered. However, no matter how domineering and awe-inspiring the Rain Emperor was, he was first and foremost the ruler of a country, so he couldn't just consider a moment of impulse.
If he killed Feng Yan, then he would definitely provoke the powerful warriors of the Winter Moon Sect. Then even if Rain Country wasn't destroyed, they would have to pay a huge price to appease the fury of the Winter Moon Sect. This kind of thing was naturally not something a mature ruler would do.
But he could allow Feng Yan to be so arrogant, so impudent …
Rain Emperor was so domineering, so he naturally wouldn't allow such a thorn to appear right under his nose. Since he couldn't kill him, then he would defeat him in front of everyone, dampening Feng Yan's spirit and teaching him a lesson.
Ling Han nodded. Even without Rain Emperor's request, he wouldn't be courteous towards Feng Yan. If there was a chance, he definitely wouldn't mind killing this guy.
"Go." Rain Emperor waved his hand and closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep. Obviously, he didn't want to speak with Ling Han anymore.
Ling Han exited the palace, and left the imperial palace accompanied by Zai Xiang. This person turned and walked two steps, then suddenly turned around and said, "Ling Han, don't disappoint His Majesty's expectations."
Without waiting for Ling Han's reply, he swaggered off, appearing very domineering.
Ling Han shook his head. The Rain Emperor was domineering because he had the ability to be domineering. Zai Xiang's every word and action was imitating the Rain Emperor, but he had only learned the form, and was completely unable to learn the essence of it.
He couldn't be bothered to argue and walked back to Huyang University.
"Ling Han, right?" A sweet voice rang out from behind him, charming to the bone.
Ling Han turned his head and saw that Xu Ke Xin was standing behind him. Her voluptuous figure was extremely eye-catching. However, he didn't give him a second look and said, "What advice do you have?"
He was now a Black Grade high level alchemist, so there was absolutely no need for him to lower his voice to an Imperial Concubine.
"I really didn't expect that a small character like you would become an alchemy grandmaster." Xu Ke Xin shook her head and then bowed. Her white dress fluttered in the wind like a blooming flower. "Xu Ke Xin greets grandmaster."
Ling Han smiled faintly and said, "You flatter me, Imperial Concubine Xu's gift is too heavy."
Xu Ke Xin stood up, pursed her lips into a smile, and said, "Grandmaster, Xu Ke Xin wants to ask a favor."
"Imperial Concubine Xu, you seem to be asking the wrong person. His Imperial Majesty, the Rain Emperor, is the ruler of Rain Country. If you have any needs, asking His Imperial Majesty should be the right thing to do, right?" Ling Han said.
Xu Ke Xin sighed, her expression sorrowful. If someone unrelated saw this, they would definitely pity her and be moved by her pitiful appearance. Unfortunately, this trick was completely useless in front of Ling Han.
"Grandmaster doesn't know, but Xu Ke Xin is only His Imperial Majesty's concubine in name." Seeing that Ling Han was unperturbed, she could only say this faintly.
"Oh." Ling Han nodded and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Xu Ke Xin hurriedly caught up and said, "Xu Ke Xin wants to use a cultivation technique to exchange for ten Foundation Building Pills!"
She was now in the third layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, and though there was still a long way to go before she reached the ninth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, under the Flower Blossom Tier, it was not difficult to break through a small tier. It was only a matter of time. Thus, she would be able to break through to the Spiritual Pedestal Tier in a few years' time. If she had ten Foundation Building Pills, her chances of success would naturally increase greatly.
Ling Han couldn't help but laugh, and said, "Imperial Concubine Xu has such a big appetite. You're talking about ten Foundation Building Pills, not ten Return Origin Pills!" In reality, in the eyes of an Alchemy Emperor like him, there was really no difference between Foundation Building Pills and Return Origin Pills.
Xu Ke Xin also knew that she was asking for an exorbitant price, but when bargaining, how could she possibly reveal the bottom line that she could accept? She said, "That's because the cultivation technique that Xu Ke Xin wants to exchange for is definitely worth this price!"
"Oh, tell me about it." Ling Han was noncommittal.
"Grandmaster, please follow Xu Ke Xin to a quiet place," Xu Ke Xin said.
Ling Han was slightly curious, so he nodded and agreed. The two of them went to a tea house, asked for a private room, and sat opposite each other.
"What cultivation technique?" Ling Han was not in the mood to beat around the bush.
Xu Ke Xin could also see Ling Han's impatience, so she didn't continue to keep him in suspense. She said, "Shapeless Heart Sutra, a complete six-layer cultivation technique!"
A few thoughts instantly flashed through Ling Han's mind, and he was able to link some things together.
Putting aside what level of cultivation technique the Shapeless Heart Sutra was, the key was that it had a complete six-layer cultivation technique, which meant that it could be cultivated to the Flower Blossom Tier … and what did the Nine Nations of the Desolate North lack the most?
It was the cultivation technique of the Flower Blossom Tier, which limited the appearance of Flower Blossom Tier martial artists. Not counting those that relied on the infusion of the nation's fortune, it was impossible for them to leave the nation. Otherwise, they would lose the support of the nation's fortune, and their cultivation would immediately drop to its original level. Moreover, if their lifespan exceeded the limit, they would directly die of old age once they left the nation's gates.
The relationship between the Rain Emperor and Xu Ke Xin was rather special, and recalling that she had previously said that she was only the Rain Emperor's concubine in name, it could be more or less confirmed that Xu Ke Xin and the Rain Emperor had made a similar deal. She was probably able to borrow the nation's fortune to cultivate, which was why she broke through to the Spiritual Ocean Tier in a short few years.
Thinking more broadly, in the past, Xu Ke Xin had a falling out with the Falling Flower Palace. Was it really because of an alchemical pill that maintained one's appearance? It should be the Shapeless Heart Sutra that made Xu Ke Xin want to monopolize it, or perhaps the higher-ups of the Falling Flower Palace wanted to silence her, but Xu Ke Xin made the first move, which led to the destruction of the Falling Flower Palace.
Xu Ke Xin also fled to the Rain Country afterwards, and made a deal with the Rain Emperor. Thus, the Rain Emperor was able to advance a step further and become half a step into the Flower Blossom Tier. He had already opened the door to the Flower Blossom Tier, and it wouldn't be long before he could truly cross over.
Xu Ke Xin definitely wouldn't have thought that she had only said the name of a cultivation technique, but it made Ling Han think of so many things. If she knew, she would definitely be shocked by Ling Han's reasoning ability.
Ling Han naturally had no interest in the Shapeless Heart Sutra. Putting aside the fact that it was only a six-layer cultivation technique, even if it was a complete set of nine layers, he couldn't be bothered to take another look. He said calmly, "I'm still far from the Flower Blossom Tier, so I'm not interested at the moment."
Xu Ke Xin's small mouth instantly gaped slightly, incredibly shocked.
