"Brother, are you really that shameless? Did you cultivate this ten-thousand-year-old ginseng? Can't I, Huangfu Jian, come and ask for it?"
The Third Prince, Huangfu Jian, said with an angry expression.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if he and his second brother were mortal enemies.
Lu Xuan had also heard about this.
I heard that the mothers of these three princes are not the same person.
In other words, they are all half-siblings.
No wonder they are so ruthless.
They all began to kill each other for the position of crown prince.
"You!" the Second Prince roared in fury.
"Then we'll see whether your Yellow Armor Guards or my Jade Shadow Guards are stronger. How about we have another match?"
However, I remember that three years ago you were defeated by my superior magic weapon, the Mystic Spirit Diamond, and you even knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Could it be that you now possess an even more powerful magical artifact?"
Hearing the Second Prince's sarcasm, the Third Prince Huangfu Jian sneered and said, "You don't need to worry about that. We are both at the peak of the late Core Formation stage. Who is stronger can only be decided after the competition."
They both knew it in their hearts.
That is: only by becoming the crown prince of the Great Yan Dynasty can one obtain a (Divine Pill) and thus advance to the Nascent Soul stage!
Otherwise, given their qualifications and resources, the chances of them breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage are less than one percent.
Therefore, they all wanted to compete for the title of crown prince.
Sitting inside his cave, Lu Xuan found the whole thing quite amusing.
Now that he has obtained the ancient ginseng, there is no point in leaving it here.
Soon, the outcome of the battle between the second and third princes outside was decided.
Clearly, the cunning and treacherous second prince is slightly stronger.
The third prince was no match for him and was sent flying by a single blow.
He had no choice but to leave behind a few harsh words before departing with his golden-armored guards.
"You wait, I will ally with the Crown Prince to deal with you. Even if I can't get the Crown Prince position, you, Huangfu Zhan, will never get it, hahaha..."
Upon hearing the Third Prince Huangfu Jian's words, the Second Prince, who was standing there, turned pale with anger. Suddenly, he sneered:
"With just the two of you, I'm already prepared to obtain this ten-thousand-year-old ginseng to break through to the False Infant Realm. In addition, the few peerless materials I've collected are enough for me to refine a top-grade magic weapon. Even if the two of you join forces, you won't be a match for me."
After the Third Prince walked away.
After Huangfu Zhan finished speaking, he looked at the location of Lu Xuan's cave, which was about several hundred feet away from him.
"Have you had enough of this show, sir? The conflicts between members of our royal family are not something for an outsider like you to watch. Come out and face your death!"
"And that ancient ginseng, it must have fallen into your hands too! Hand it over, and I can make you my subordinate, but you'll need to plant the Soul-Devouring Silkworm Poison in it!"
"Why should I?"
Lu Xuan walked out of the cave with a calm and collected expression.
"If you want a ginseng that's been around for ten thousand years, come with me."
After saying that, Lu Xuan activated his magical flying sword and flew straight out of the valley.
"If you want to leave, you'll have to see if I, Huangfu Zhan, will allow it!"
Not to be outdone, the second prince chased after Lu Xuanfei out of the valley.
Lu Xuan turned around and saw the Second Prince chasing after him, and a smile instantly appeared on his face.
That's right, he planned to lure the second prince out and then trap him like a turtle in a jar.
Given the opponent's strength as a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, Lu Xuan could unleash the Devouring Demon Insects and kill him in a short time.
Several hours later.
After flying hundreds of miles out of the valley.
Lu Xuan stopped.
The second prince has also caught up.
Lu Xuan didn't say much, and directly summoned several hundred Devouring Demon Insects at the mid-stage of Core Formation.
Just half a day ago, his Devouring Demonic Insects had already broken through to the mid-stage of Core Formation.
In a few more years.
His thousands of Devouring Demon Insects can all transform into the mid-stage Core Formation level.
When the time comes, if all of them are used up, even a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages will have a huge headache and might even have to turn around and run away.
"What kind of strange insects are these? How can they devour my top-grade magic weapon? Even the legendary top-level spirit insects couldn't do that so easily!"
The second prince was so frightened that his face turned deathly pale, and his attitude towards Lu Xuan immediately improved tenfold, saying:
"Fellow Daoist, it was my fault just now. How about we take back these spirit insects first, and I can make you the first retainer of my True King's Mansion?"
"After I become the Emperor of Great Yan, how about I make you the First Imperial Advisor of our Great Yan Dynasty?"
"You? You can't even beat me, Lu. How can you talk about becoming the crown prince of your Great Yan Dynasty?"
It turns out that this second prince was titled True King, and his True King's Mansion also had seven or eight Core Formation stage retainers.
"Why are you all vying for the position of Crown Prince? Is there some conspiracy involved?" Lu Xuan asked.
Under the siege of hundreds of mid-stage Core Formation Devouring Demon Insects, the Second Prince could no longer hold out. He only needed to answer truthfully:
"Because as long as you become the crown prince of our Great Yan Dynasty, you will receive a Divine Pill, which can increase your chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage by 30%! There are only three to five of these pills left in our Great Yan royal family."
"The Divine Pill!"
"Increases the chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage by 30%?"
It seems that this item is one of the top-tier elixirs in the Great Yan cultivation world.
Next, Lu Xuan asked a few more questions.
After the other party answered truthfully, Lu Xuan instantly summoned his Taiyi Sword.
They killed the Second Prince, Huangfu Zhan.
Then, Lu Xuan put on the other party's dragon-patterned golden robe and jade crown. He picked up the other party's magical artifact and used his supreme disguise technique to transform into the appearance of the Second Prince.
After a few breaths.
The Second Prince's several Core Formation stage retainers and his Jade Shadow Guards arrived.
Seeing that their "second prince" was safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
An elderly elder, in the mid-stage of Core Formation, respectfully asked, "I wonder if His Highness the Second Prince has obtained that ten-thousand-year-old ginseng?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan flipped his hand, and a purple ginseng root shaped like a human appeared in his palm.
This thing has acquired a great deal of spirituality; it can move and can burrow underground.
They can also briefly teleport, making them exceptionally difficult to catch.
This is also why the real second prince was unable to obtain this item for several years.
The few Core Formation cultivators and the hundreds of Jade Shadow Guards, upon seeing the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng in Lu Xuan's hand, all knelt down and bowed to him with joy:
"Congratulations, Second Prince, on obtaining the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng. Your advancement to the Nascent Soul stage is imminent, greatly increasing your chances of becoming the Crown Prince of our Great Yan Dynasty..."
…
the next day.
Lu Xuan, disguised as the Second Prince, returned to the True King's Mansion in the capital of Yan with a group of his men.
Upon returning to the True King's Mansion, the Jade Shadow Guard Commander, who was also the female cultivator Ling'er, came to report:
"Your Highness, the First Prince, Huangfu Lou, has just shamelessly come to demand the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, but I, Ling'er, have stopped him outside the main hall. I wonder how Your Highness will handle this matter?"
