Chapter 25: Undercurrents and Sudden Waves All Conceal Trouble



The supernatural mini-world absorbed the energy contained in the 500,000 crystals, giving the entire mini-world a lustrous sheen.

This left Zheng Ya, who was strolling down the street, completely bewildered. Had all his efforts been in vain?

Five hundred thousand crystals would be of little help to Zheng Ya's three special abilities, and Zheng Ya never thought of using crystals to assist in his cultivation.

However, selling gene-enhancing potions to establish a persona, strengthen the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect's influence, and seek a fictitious protector is imperative.

Besides, Zheng Ya had no choice but to collect crystals for research and develop supernatural abilities and techniques.

Who would have thought an accident would happen?

The entire 500,000 crystals were absorbed by the supernatural small world, leaving only two gray storage bags. Zheng Ya was momentarily stunned, unable to figure out why the supernatural small world had absorbed the crystals.

Something unusual must be going on.

"The supernatural mini-world is out of control, this is terrible!" Zheng Ya walked home with a heavy heart.

At this moment, Liu Qingyun excitedly returned to the main hall of Princess Wu's mansion to report the good news: "Princess, the spiritual root repair liquid in Fu Ya's hand is so useful, oh..."

"Oh my, Master is so beautiful!" Wu Wei woke up with a start and exclaimed as she got up to greet him.

The master and apprentice hugged and celebrated for a moment before Liu Qingyun released her and asked, "Princess, you seem troubled. Could it be that you and Fu Ya couldn't reach an agreement on your cooperation?"

"Sigh, cooperation, just simple cooperation, is this princess really left with no other choice?" Wu Wei complained, unwillingly sitting back in the main seat.

Liu Qingyun shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Princess, before Fu Ya took out the spiritual root repair liquid, I also agreed that you should take down Fu Ya, which would be beneficial for building an army to conquer the world."

However, Princess, we must acknowledge the importance of the Spirit Root Repair Fluid; it is impossible for it to be a resource exclusively controlled by you.

That would make enemies all over the world; it would be a losing proposition!

“Master is right. Fu Ya actually used the Spirit Root Repair Liquid to restore Master’s appearance and repair the hidden injuries in his body.”

Although the damage to Master's spiritual root was not eradicated, drinking a few more bottles of spiritual root repair liquid would be enough to repair the damage.

This root-repairing liquid is incredibly valuable.

As far as I know, eight of the Zheng royal family cultivators have damaged their spiritual roots and urgently need spiritual root repair fluid to heal their injuries and help the Zheng dynasty prosper.

The two emperors were bound to seize the spiritual root repair fluid from Fu Ya, and other forces would also stop at nothing to take away the resources from Fu Ya.

"This princess can't protect Fu Ya at all, let alone seize the spiritual medicine resources in his hands!" Wu Wei realized Zheng Ya's scheme to create a persona, and pretended to be helpless as she spoke.

Liu Qingyun said worriedly, "Princess, it would be better if we maintained a superficial relationship with Fu Ya, but not a genuine one. This would avoid a lot of trouble."

Fu Ya's sale of the Spirit Root Repair Liquid in Kyoto subtly diverted some of the attention of ambitious forces, making it easier for the princess to develop her power in secret.

Besides, the princess is from the same sect as Fu Ya, so she shouldn't lack spiritual root repair fluid, right?

"I'm worried that the two emperors will ask the princess for the spiritual root repair fluid..."

"That's impossible. I only just learned about the existence of the Spirit Root Repair Fluid myself."

"After all, among the five halls of the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect, I belong to the War Hall, while Fu Ya belongs to the Medicine Hall. We rarely interact with each other, so I don't have the ability to help others purchase spiritual root repair fluid," Wu Wei said irritably.

Lan Meier jumped out and mocked, "You bitch, you've even learned to lie, hehehe."

"Shut up! Don't even think about twisting my thoughts with your twisted logic. This is a white lie..." Wu Wei retorted angrily.

Lan Meier sneered repeatedly: "You wretch, you're just deceiving yourself. It won't be long before you're back in my arms... Ah..."

Wu Wei angrily used the Source Pearl to suppress Lan Meier. Liu Qingyun mistakenly thought that Lan Meier hated two emperors, which was why she acted so fiercely. With a face full of indignation, she shook her head and comforted her, "Princess, don't think too much. In a few days, we will go to the border. Everything will be alright..."

"Yes, Master, you've worked hard. I just don't know if Fu Ya will be able to withstand the persecution from the ambitious forces after we head to the border?" Wu Wei said worriedly.

Liu Qingyun responded with confusion: "Fu Ya is selling the Spirit Root Repair Liquid on behalf of the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect. He will naturally protect his safety. Why should the Princess worry?"

“Master, the Great Li Dynasty is in disharmony. How could the other two great dynasties not know about it? I’m afraid they might bribe their own officials and start a war of internal division.”

"If we target Fu Ya, I'm afraid the consequences will be beyond our control, master and disciple?" Wu Wei voiced the worry that had been weighing on his mind.

Liu Qingyun stood up and said, "What the princess says makes sense. Is there any way to prevent this?"

"Alas, I, the princess, am barely able to take care of myself, how can I possibly have the energy to ensure Fu Ya's safety and address the internal conflicts of the dynasty!" Wu Wei rose and paced back and forth, feeling utterly frustrated. Liu Qingyun was completely exasperated...

The main hall of Prince Rong's Mansion.

Zheng Yi knelt and reported: "Your Highness, Fu Zhen, the patriarch of the Fu clan, has entered the palace. It is said that the direct descendants of the Fu clan have conspired to break the late emperor's promise in an attempt to bring back Fu Ya, relying on the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect to regain the glory of their ancestors, and even go further..."

"Hmph, that person who wanted to involve the Fu family to control me, I'm afraid they never imagined they'd create such a major threat!" Prince Rong slammed his fist on the table and stood up, pacing back and forth in the main hall, shouting angrily.

Zheng Yi, indignant, volunteered: "Your Highness, there is evidence that the cunning man has secretly plotted to trap the court's civil and military officials and manipulate their hearts and minds."

They then forced them to monitor each other, intending to usurp the throne.

Now the entire Fu clan is targeting Your Highness, creating a new Fu Ya who is leading the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect to rise powerfully, which is extremely detrimental to Your Highness. This humble servant humbly requests Your Highness to assassinate that person…”

"Alright, who is that person? Where is he? What does he look like? I've had people investigate for five or six years without any leads. Where are you going to assassinate him?" Prince Rong was so angry that his teeth ached. He waved his hand and scolded him irritably.

Zheng Yi remained unmoved and volunteered: "Your Highness, our men have already been keeping an eye on Mr. Yu, who is in contact with Fu Zhen. Why don't we follow the trail..."

"Enough. I know perfectly well that you are loyal to me."

But this is a matter of great importance concerning my ascension to the throne and the cultivation of the dynasty's fortune. How can I be careless and negligent, lest someone find a handle against me and all my efforts be in vain?

"I will absolutely not allow another Zheng Twenty-Three to appear among you and ruin my grand plans!" Prince Rong angrily rebuked.

With a "whoosh," the guards in the main hall all knelt down, feeling ashamed and begging for forgiveness.

Zheng Yi said worriedly, "Your Highness, Zheng Twenty-Three's attempt to assassinate Fu Ya failed, and he won't let that person cause you any trouble..."

"Enough! I have no idea who that person is."

But I know enough that he wants to usurp the throne. As long as he wants to usurp the throne, he will not act rashly.

On the contrary, he dares not do anything to me for the time being, but I will take advantage of Fu Ya's rise and the spiritual root repair fluid to lure out this venomous snake, seize his vital point, and replace him if necessary." Prince Rong raised his hand to stop, revealing his countermeasure plan.

Zheng Yi and the others became excited: "Your Highness, how do we devise a plan to catch Fu Ya and capture the snake?"

"Hmph, Fu Ya's attempt to appeal to the emperor failed because two emperors were afraid of the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect and dared not act rashly."

"I am not afraid of any immortal sects. I am prepared to send Fu Ya the head in place of Zheng Twenty-Three to congratulate Fu Ya on being ennobled. Hehehe," Prince Rong said with a sinister laugh.

Zheng Yi paused, then, realizing something, congratulated him, "Your Highness is wise and mighty! This is sending karma to Fu Ya, spreading his bad reputation, while simultaneously demonstrating Your Highness's discipline of his subordinates. He appears to be bowing his head, but secretly promotes his benevolence and virtue, disgusting Fu Ya..."

"Your Highness is brilliant!" The guards in the hall congratulated him...
