Even though 20,000 spirit crystals are a lot, they are only enough to buy a few of the spirit medicines needed to refine the third-grade elixir.
Fortunately, Kong Ju's purple-black poisonous miasma and Shenglun Pill were put up for auction at Xunyu Pavilion. After deducting the spirit crystals used to purchase the Sanqiao Lingginseng, there were still a lot left.
There is no need to worry too much about the spirit crystal issue.
Therefore, Kong Ju became leisurely again in the next few days, occasionally going out with the monk to eat and drink, and staying by Dapeng's side when he had nothing to do.
However, after the night Kong Ju returned from the Fifth Princess's bedroom, he rarely saw his master's wife in the mansion, and she did not stay in the mansion all day.
Kong Ju guessed that his master's wife was secretly busy with Prince Yaoyun's affairs.
After all, this matter involves a lot of things, and my master's wife must take it seriously.
Kong Ju, who had already extricated himself from the matter, naturally would not ask any further questions and was content to keep himself out of it.
After several days passed, an unexpected incident broke his peaceful life.
It has been some time since the beginning of spring.
The imperial city is also full of alluring spring scenery.
The courtyard where Kong Jue temporarily resides has also become green.
On this day, the spring breeze was blowing, and Kong Ju was enjoying the breeze blowing into the courtyard. He sat at the stone table in the yard, looking at a pill recipe in his hand.
That is the recipe for the Great Mirror-breaking Pill.
All the spiritual medicines needed to refine the Great Mirror-breaking Pill have been gathered. Kong Ju plans to study for more time and then start refining the pill.
The Great Mirror-Breaking Pill is only a second-grade pill, but he is 80% sure that he can refine all three furnaces of Mirror-Breaking Pills.
"After the auction is over, I can retreat and make the elixir." Kong Ju's eyes slowly moved over the elixir recipe, revealing confidence.
Just when Kong Ju was concentrating on this recipe.
Whoosh! A golden stream of light suddenly swept over from somewhere in the mansion.
A graceful figure descended from the sky, easily breaking through the restrictions set up by Kong Ju around the courtyard and landing beside him.
Kong Ju knew who was coming without even looking up.
He smiled bitterly, slowly put down the recipe, and complained in a weak voice: "Senior Sister Huangfu, you are so high up, at least let me know before you come here, I also have privacy."
As he spoke, Kong Ju tilted his head and looked at Huangfu Wuqin, who was standing less than ten feet behind him.
After Kong Ju returned to the princess's mansion, Huangfu Wuqin would prepare gifts almost every day and visit the royal relatives in various parts of the imperial city, and she was rarely seen in the mansion.
Kong Ju was quite surprised that he didn't go out today.
"Ha!" Hearing the complaint in Kong Ju's voice, Huangfu Wuqin snorted without commenting, and with a meaningful smile on her pink lips, she replied, "What other secrets do you have that I don't know?"
"There are so many secrets." Kong Ju raised his eyebrows and replied calmly, "Do you know how many moles I have on my butt?"
Kong Ju spoke slowly and leisurely, then looked into Huangfu Wuqin's light golden pupils with a half-smile on his face.
The latter was not shy at all when Kong Ju teased her like this. Instead, he looked at Kong Ju in surprise and said, "You are really becoming more and more shameless."
Kong Ju did not refute, but instead agreed seriously: "I am working hard to improve."
Huangfu Wuqin was speechless. Knowing that she could not gain any advantage verbally, she did not argue with Kong Ju any further. With a flick of her slender jade finger, she placed an invitation on the stone table in front of Kong Ju.
Then, she sat down beside Kong Ju and said in a lazy voice, "The invitation from the Prince's Mansion said that Qingchun Garden has been renovated and they invite us to go sightseeing."
"The attendant who delivered the invitation said that you had already promised the prince?"
At this point, Huangfu Wuqin narrowed his eyes and said with some surprise: "When did you become involved with the prince?"
If Huangfu Wuqin hadn't mentioned it, Kong Ju would have almost forgotten about it.
After a slight pause, he showed a distressed look, rubbed his brows, and muttered, "I almost forgot about this."
"Have you really agreed to the prince's request?" Seeing Kong Ju's expression, Huangfu Wuqin was certain of the person who sent the invitation. Her pretty face showed some resentment: "Just go by yourself. Why are you dragging me?"
It seems that Huangfu Wuqin is not very fond of this prince, and even feels a little repulsed by him.
"It's a long story." Kong Ju took the invitation and saw his and Huangfu Wuqin's names on it as expected. He could only tell her about his experience in Xunyu Pavilion.
"At that time, the situation was really unavoidable."
Huangfu Wuqin held up his handsome chin with his hand and replied expressionlessly: "He invited you because he saw that you couldn't refuse."
"That guy is full of evil intentions. Among all the princes in the royal family, he is the most scheming."
"Then Senior Sister Huangfu, will you go with me?" Kong Ju put down the invitation and looked at Huangfu Wuqin, who already had a bitter face, with a smile on his face.
"How can I not go? He's the prince. My mother would give him three faces. The invitation has arrived." Huangfu Wuqin glared at Kong Ju unhappily.
Then, like an eggplant hit by frost, he said in a faint voice: "Why am I here in Tianqi? I run around all day... I want to go back to Wudong."
Kong Ju became interested.
It's rare to find someone who can make Huangfu Wuqin so fearful.
Especially when facing people of the same generation, Huangfu Wuqin never showed this expression.
"Is this prince really that scary?"
Kong Ju was well aware of the Crown Prince's strength, so when Huangfu Wuqin said that he had no chance of defeating him, he was not surprised. He consoled her earnestly, "Senior Sister Huangfu is still young. In a few years, she may not be his opponent."
"That makes sense!" Huangfu Wuqin's expression improved a bit, and she patted Kong Ju's shoulder, smiling like a senior sister and said, "I'm also optimistic about Junior Brother Kong Ju."
"When the time comes, if you and I join forces, we will definitely be able to defeat him."
"I don't want to fight with him." Kong Ju shook his head like a drum.
What a joke! He now wishes to stay away from the prince.
There are so many opportunities waiting for you to take, who would bother to argue about who is better?
"You think if you don't fight him, he won't fight you." Huangfu Wuqin had expected this and replied with a half-smile, "Once you enter Chaodi Ancient City, all the strong will fight for it. Whoever takes a step back will give up the opportunity inside."
"You're not willing to give up, are you?"
Huangfu Wuqin said this in a gentle and persuasive manner, which made Kong Ju stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at her a few more times.
Huangfu Wuqin knew the situation inside the Chaodi Ancient City better than himself.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Judging from her tone, the opportunities in Chaodi Ancient City seem to need to be snatched from the monks inside.
This is not good news.
In front of him is the second prince Bai Yuanjin, and behind him is the even more unfathomable crown prince, as well as the two monks Buchi and Buang.
There is no such thing as a fuel-efficient lamp.
This was something Kong Ju knew.
Anyone holding a traditional order can enter the Chaodi Ancient City.
The four regions of Xianyun Realm, the Endless Sea, and even the demon clan might come here.
At that time, the ancient city of Chaodi was in chaos.
Fortunately, Kong Ju never thought that the opportunity in Chaodi Ancient City would be so easy to obtain.
Strictly speaking, the Chaodi Ancient City is also considered good, as it only faces opponents of the same generation.
Xihuang Blessed Land and Qinghu Blessed Land, every opportunity has turned the world upside down.
Thinking of this, Kong Ju gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "If you really want to block my way, I can kill you, Prince!"
Huangfu Wuqin was very satisfied with Kong Ju's performance, and a smile of success appeared on his face.
Today's Kong Ji is no longer the same as it was before.
In fact, Huangfu Wuqin did not finish his words when evaluating the prince.
Apart from the crown prince, Kong Ju was also one of the people she was not sure she could defeat.
With Kong Ju's help, she can feel free to go on this trip to Chaodi Ancient City.
"Then it's settled!" Huangfu Wuqin waved his fist and said confidently, "The prince may not be able to defeat the two of us."
"Wait! I just said that I attacked him because he blocked my way." Kong Ju vaguely heard something and immediately waved his hand and said, "Senior Sister Huangfu, don't go looking for trouble with him."
"Don't worry, I, your senior sister, know my limits." Huangfu Wuqin nodded seriously.
What he got in return was a suspicious look on Kong Ju's face: "Do you know your limits?"
Huangfu Wuqin and Shangguan Yuzhou, which one of them is not the kind of person who gets excited and acts faster than he thinks? "Humph!" Huangfu Wuqin snorted, and did not say much after being exposed by Kong Ju.
Instead, he stood up and walked to the green egg of Dapeng that was protected by Kong Ju with black ice, and looked inside.
He said something that made Kong Qi's scalp tingle: "I don't know when Dapeng will wake up."
"When I have time, I will grab a legendary token for Dapeng, and then we can go in together."
"Senior Sister Huangfu, who are you going to rob?" Kong Ju looked cautious.
This imperial city is full of dignitaries. If Huangfu Wuqin wants to snatch the heirloom order, he will inevitably offend a large number of people.
Kong Ju was really afraid of her.
"Don't worry about it! Your senior sister knows her limits!" Huangfu Wuqin crossed his arms and glanced at Kong Ju, then disappeared into the courtyard.
The only thing left was her light and graceful voice saying before she left: "I've left the invitation with you. When the time comes, we'll go meet the prince first and see what he's up to."
Kong Ju was left with a headache, not because of the issue of the prince's invitation, but because of Huangfu Wuqin's words just now that he wanted to snatch the legendary order.
He immediately looked at the place where Huangfu Wuqin disappeared and muttered to himself:
"Junior Sister Huangfu's reckless nature hasn't changed at all."
"Once we enter Chaodi Ancient City, I have to keep a close eye on her."
As for who Huangfu Wuqin was going to rob, Kong Ju didn't think much about it.
Since she dared to go, it proved that she was confident. If anything really happened, her master's wife would take care of it.
"Alas, if you have a pair of powerful parents, you can really do whatever you want." (End of this chapter)
