In the end, Chen Zong accepted the ninth prince's proposal.
First, as the ninth prince said, what if the Elixir King returned within ten years?
At that time, with the ninth prince's status, asking the Elixir King to refine a Heavenly Sun Vast Vitality Pill wouldn't be too much of a problem.
Second, if the Elixir King didn't return within ten years, Chen Zong also had ten years to cultivate. Perhaps he could reach a certain level and solve the problem of Yuan Lingzi's Heavenly Yin Cold Finger.
"Brother Chen, don't worry. I'll have someone send a year's worth of Righteous Yang Pills and Vitality Augmenting Pills to the Zongzheng Sword Sect." The ninth prince smiled.
Righteous Yang Pills contained a wisp of Righteous Yang power, which could resist the erosion of Yin energy to a certain extent. Vitality Augmenting Pills were refined from various life-replenishing medicines, which could replenish the body's life-force consumption to a certain extent. Both Righteous Yang Pills and Vitality Augmenting Pills weren't cheap. Ordinary Real Martial Realm cultivators had no hope of obtaining them.
One Righteous Yang Pill and one Vitality Augmenting Pill was enough for Yuan Lingzi to use for a month. After ten years, there would be a total of two hundred and forty pills.
"Ninth prince, Chen Zong is deeply grateful." Chen Zong stood up and bowed gratefully.
Yuan Lingzi was the only elder of the Zongzheng Sword Sect. He was very good to Chen Zong, giving him guidance wholeheartedly. Even though they weren't master and disciple, they were more than master and disciple.
Yuan Lingzi was injured and dying. Chen Zong was very uncomfortable, but he couldn't do anything. He felt even worse. He accepted the ninth prince's invitation, but he didn't contribute much. The ninth prince took the initiative to help him. This was a great favor.
Chen Zong had always been clear about gratitude and grudges.
"It's nothing. Brother Chen, you don't have to worry about it." The Ninth Prince said with a smile. Paying some external items for a genius with limitless potential to wholeheartedly assist him was undoubtedly worth it.
Chen Zong didn't keep expressing his gratitude verbally. There was no need for that.
"Brother Chen, what else do you want to know?" the ninth prince asked with a smile.
"Scorching Sun Hand and Purple Mountain's identity." Chen Zong's thoughts changed.
"Ardent Sun Hand's external identity is that of a loose cultivator, but his actual identity is that of a spy for the True Yang Sect. However, very few people know about this." The ninth prince smiled. "As for Zi Shan, he is indeed a loose cultivator."
"A spy from the True Yang Sect, no wonder …" Chen Zong suddenly understood. Then there was a reason why the other party wanted to kill him. However, the True Yang Sect was his enemy again and again. Sooner or later, they would return the favor.
"Ninth Prince, I've only been in the Imperial City for one night, and my bad reputation has been spread everywhere. Is it all because of the Wanluo Sect?" Chen Zong asked a second question.
"Yes … and no …" The Ninth Prince said, "The Ten Thousand Sifting Sect is closer to my third brother."
He didn't say it explicitly, but Chen Zong suddenly understood. To be able to spread his bad reputation overnight, other than the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect, there was also an external force helping. And that external force was obviously the third prince.
It had to be said that the third prince had a good plan. While cooperating with the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect to deal with him, he also wanted to recruit him to work for him.
A hint of anger rose in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Ninth Prince, I don't have any more questions for now." Chen Zong said. He had basically understood the cause and effect.
The reason the Unhindered Sword Sect removed his name was because of the threat of the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect's third elder. In order to protect the Sect, they had to do this. Chen Zong could understand and accept it.
"Good. Brother Chen, do you need anything?" the ninth prince asked again.
As the supervisor of the Dragon Eye Guard, he naturally paid close attention to Chen Zong after noticing him. He collected information from many sources and had a deeper understanding of Chen Zong's talent and personality. Therefore, the ninth prince valued Chen Zong very much and naturally wanted to make Chen Zong stronger.
The stronger Chen Zong was, the more help he would be to the ninth prince.
"I need to quickly improve my cultivation." Chen Zong said. His cultivation was currently his biggest shortcoming.
"Brother Chen, what is your cultivation now?" As the ninth prince asked, he felt the fluctuation of energy coming from Chen Zong. It was the early stage of Lv 9 Genuine Martial Realm.
As a prince of the imperial family, the ninth prince was also in his twenties. His cultivation was at the peak of Lv 9 Genuine Martial Realm. However, from all the information he collected, the ninth prince was not confident that he could suppress Chen Zong.
The ninth prince knew that Chen Zong had relied on his true strength to kill the underworld ravens, not a so-called sneak attack.
Therefore, if Chen Zong's cultivation could reach the peak of Lv 9 Genuine Martial Realm, his battle strength would definitely become even stronger.
"Brother Chen, don't worry. I will send someone to deliver the True Alchemy Pill to help you improve your cultivation." The ninth prince smiled. The True Alchemy Pill was the most suitable pill for Genuine Martial Realm cultivators to improve their cultivation in the Longtu Region. As for the Great Alchemy Pill, it was not only difficult to concoct, but also required more high-end medicinal ingredients. When the Dan King was away, no one else could concoct it. This was because even if they had the corresponding medicinal ingredients and skills, they lacked the pill recipe.
Any kind of pill could only be successfully concocted after countless experiments. The slightest mistake would not only cause the concoction to fail, but it could also cause the furnace to explode. If the explosion was light, it would damage the medicinal ingredients in the furnace. If it was heavy, even the alchemist would be injured or killed.
"Thank you, ninth prince." Chen Zong said.
"Brother Chen, do you have any other requests?" the ninth prince asked again.
However, Chen Zong shook his head. Was there really nothing else?
No, there was more. It was just that Chen Zong had just joined the ninth prince's camp and had not made any contributions yet. If he repeatedly asked for something, then he would be asking for a yard after taking an inch.
"Brother Chen, this is one of the properties under my name. Now, I will give it to Brother Chen as a greeting gift. It will also save Brother Chen the trouble of finding a place to stay." The ninth prince smiled and pointed at the quaint and elegant courtyard.
"Thank you, ninth prince." Chen Zong did not decline. Compared to other things, a courtyard was nothing.
"However, if Brother Chen wants to ask Teacher for advice on sword techniques, then you have to follow Teacher's wishes. I cannot make the decision for Teacher." The ninth prince smiled and said, giving Xuanjian Sect's Yu Wuya enough respect.
"If senior does not object, can you teach me a thing or two now?" Chen Zong looked at Xuanjian Sect's Yu Wuya and bowed.
"Okay." Yu Wuya's answer was simple and direct.
The ninth prince sat in the pavilion, while Chen Zong and Yu Wuya stood in the courtyard.
"Pay attention." Yu Wuya spoke directly. His figure didn't move, yet his gaze suddenly became fierce, and it was like two rays of sword light tore through the sky. Its shocking sharpness caused Chen Zong's expression to change, and his entire body unconsciously felt cold and faintly hurt. At this moment, he seemed to have seen a wisp of an illusory white sword light tear through the sky and slash down.
Without any hesitation, the cross-shaped sword light swept through the air, as if it had split the heaven and earth in front of it into four. It also shattered the white sword light that was coming at him.
Looking carefully, Xuanjian Sect's Yu Wuya did not move at all. His sword was still on his back, and his hands were hanging naturally.
Chen Zong was shocked. He was sure that Xuanjian Sect's Yu Wuya did not draw his sword. Just the gaze of his eyes made him feel like he was being slashed by a sword. It was indeed terrifying.
"I am going to draw my sword." Xuanjian Sect said the second sentence. The moment his voice sounded, Chen Zong's strength increased to the maximum. His whole body's blood and Qi surged, and his muscles tightened. He could explode with the strongest power in an instant.
The moment the last word fell, Xuanjian Sect pulled out his sword.
Chen Zong seemed to be able to clearly see Xuanjian Sect's right hand lifting up and grabbing the simple and ancient sword hilt. A melodious sound rang out, accompanied by a cold light that shot into the sky, as if it had split the nine heavens.
Then, all the brilliance was retracted and transformed into an ordinary sword strike that slashed down.
Chen Zong felt that he could clearly see the trajectory of the sword strike, but he could not dodge it. He could not even think about it. It was as if he had turned into a wooden man. He could only stare blankly at the sword strike.
As if it was an illusion, the sword under his gaze disappeared. Chen Zong was in a trance. He saw Xuanjian Sect's Yu Wuya slowly put his sword back into the scabbard on his back. Then, a strand of hair fell from his forehead. Under his clear gaze, it gently swayed and fell in the air.
"Experience it well." Xuanjian Sect said.
Chen Zong was still in a daze. There was no doubt that Xuanjian Sect had made his move, but what puzzled Chen Zong was why he could clearly see the entire process of Xuanjian Sect's sword strike, why could he clearly see the trajectory of the sword strike, but was unable to dodge it. He did not even have the thought of dodging it.
Xuanjian Sect looked deeply at Chen Zong.
The Ninth Prince walked out of the pavilion and silently walked past Chen Zong. He stood beside Xuanjian Sect with a look of envy on his face: "Teacher, Chen Zong's talent in swordsmanship is extraordinary, very high."
"Very high, rarely seen in my life." Xuanjian Sect said concisely. Hearing this, the Ninth Prince was immediately surprised.
Although his swordsmanship teacher, Xuanjian Sect, was not a transcendent realm expert, he was very extraordinary. He was even more amazing than many Extreme Mortal realm experts.
His swordsmanship was superb, even surpassing many Extreme Mortal realm experts.
To be able to get Xuanjian Sect to give an evaluation that he had never seen before in his life, the Ninth Prince could not help but be surprised. This was enough to show that Chen Zong's talent in swordsmanship was astonishing.
"Above me." Xuanjian Sect added at the end. The Ninth Prince was shocked again, his eyes blazing.
As if he was possessed, Chen Zong fell into deep thought. His eyes flickered, and he did not hear Xuanjian Sect's words at all. He also ignored Xuanjian Sect and the Ninth Prince, these two living people.
Time slowly passed, the bewitched Chen Zong was still stuck in Xuanjian Sect's sword. He tried his best to comprehend its mysteries, but found it very difficult. It was as if he could clearly see the scorching sun on the side of the mountain, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not catch up. It was so far away.
Half an hour!
Two hours!
Three and a half hours!
Four hours!
The Ninth Prince and Xuanjian Sect stood without saying a word, waiting for Chen Zong to wake up.
Three hours. Chen Zong's expression changed. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His aura changed, and he woke up.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Chen Zong's face showed a wry smile.
"Brother Chen, did you gain anything?" The Ninth Prince quickly asked.
"Nothing." Chen Zong once again replied with a wry smile. Although he tried his best to comprehend, he really did not comprehend anything.
"Take your time, don't worry." The Ninth Prince said. This was very normal. It meant that Chen Zong's swordsmanship was very different from Xuanjian Sect's.
