"I'll give you a thousand high-grade spirit stones as I please!"
"Um?!"
Upon hearing Rong Xi's words, the Fourth Prince shuddered. When had he ever given away such things? The next moment, he thought of the storage bracelet that Liang Jiugong had given him!
My heart aches, it hurts so much!
A thousand high-grade spirit stones!
Throughout his cultivation, even as a prince, he had never seen so many high-grade spirit stones at once.
It's been sent out!
Such a large sum of high-grade spirit stones, enough for him to cultivate for several years, actually just passed through his hands without any real substance.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Rong Xi was secretly delighted. "Serves you right, you big jerk!" she thought. "This is karma!"
Should the spirit stone be returned to the Fourth Prince?
Rong Xi never even considered that once something was in her hands, she could never give it away again. Dream on!
"I'm fine. I just remembered I have some things to take care of. My lady, please go back first!"
The Fourth Prince felt he no longer had the strength to stand there, so he quickly left Rong Xi's courtyard and headed straight for the palace to settle accounts with Liang Jiugong.
"yeah--!"
After the Fourth Prince left, Rong Xi excitedly pumped her fist.
This day has truly been incredibly lucky for me.
In one day, he earned more spirit stones than many people could earn in a lifetime. As for other things, well, that's even more incredible!
"Magpie, magpie!"
Thinking of the Four Symbols Technique in her storage bracelet, Rong Xi immediately shouted.
With the Four Symbols Technique, the magpie can begin its cultivation.
Hmm, I still need to prepare some cultivation resources for her. For now, let's... Rong Xi blinked, somewhat bewildered. It seemed she was out of low-grade spirit stones.
Forget it, let's start with mid-grade spirit stones!
Those who are protected by their older sister naturally receive better treatment than ordinary people.
Now that he has his own blessed cultivation cave where he can refine pills, Foundation Establishment Pills are rare, but Bone Tempering Pills and Meridian Expanding Pills are even more sought after. For cultivators whose physical bodies are lacking, these two types of pills are absolutely indispensable to make up for their deficiencies.
"master!"
Upon hearing Rong Xi's shout, the magpie quickly ran out of the room, followed by Jiang Zi, who was still somewhat dazed!
"Here you go, this is the Four Symbols Technique!"
Rong Xi took out the Four Symbols Manual and handed it to Magpie, saying, "Here, this storage bag is yours. Once your master gets the storage bracelet, I'll get you a new one!"
"Oh, right, and this is rock marrow. Put it on Jiang Zi; it will help her!"
Rock marrow can accelerate the evolution of the crimson stone spirit body.
This is a prompt from the system.
Although Rong Xi felt that her system was terrible, she thought that the system couldn't possibly be wrong about this!
...
The Forbidden City, the Qianqing Palace.
Liang Jiu stood solemnly under the corridor, a faint aura of dark purple emanating from him.
Despite his physical disability, Liang Jiugong, a trusted advisor to Emperor Kangxi, was an exceptionally powerful figure. His cultivation method was the Heavenly Crippled Dao Technique, created by a terrifying eunuch during the Tang Dynasty.
Once the Heavenly Cripple Dao Technique is mastered, the physical body can be rebuilt and the crippled body regenerated after the tribulation.
Liang Jiugong only managed to finish his work when the Fourth Prince arrived.
"Greetings, Fourth Prince!"
When Liang Jiugong saw the Fourth Prince coming over, he quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.
"Eunuch Liang, you've really ruined my life!"
The Fourth Prince glared angrily at Liang Jiugong.
Liang Jiugong blinked and asked, "Fourth Prince, what have I done?"
"What exactly is inside the storage bracelet that Father Emperor gave me?"
"Shh-"
Liang Jiugong quickly made a shushing gesture, "Fourth Prince, you already know!"
"Just as I expected!"
The Fourth Prince jumped up and down.
He is indeed a prince, and he is at the Golden Core stage, that's true too. However, he is essentially still a boy not yet twenty years old!
"Fourth Prince, you mustn't tell anyone about this. His Majesty values you very much!"
Liang Jiugong spoke softly, but in his heart he sighed. He still needed to tell His Majesty about this matter.
Originally, Kangxi judged that the purple aura in the dawn's glow had merged into the Fourth Prince's body. But now it seems that the purple aura from the east was obtained by the Fourth Prince's wife.
Otherwise, how could the thousand high-grade spirit stones that Emperor Kangxi gave to the Fourth Prince have ended up in the hands of the Fourth Prince's wife?
"Yes, sir!"
How could the Fourth Prince not understand?
In this world, the people and things are not so much about scarcity, but about inequality.
Having given away a thousand high-grade spirit stones for nothing, the Fourth Prince was heartbroken. He was practically penniless right now! However, he couldn't bring himself to ask his wife for the gifts back.
Yeah, mainly because I can't bear the embarrassment.
...
After leaving the Forbidden City, the Fourth Prince did not return directly to his residence, but instead went out of the city and headed straight for the Puji Temple outside the city.
Feeling aggrieved, the Fourth Prince needed to find someone to comfort him.
When the Fourth Prince left the Forbidden City, Liang Jiugong also knocked on the door of the Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty, this servant has something to report!"
After much deliberation, Liang Jiugong decided to tell Kangxi about his discovery. After all, it was his duty. Whether this would offend the Fourth Prince was not something Liang Jiugong needed to consider.
"That's interesting!"
When Emperor Kangxi heard Liang Jiugong's story, he was immediately amused.
"Is Yinzhen feeling very down?"
Emperor Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong with a smile.
Liang Jiugong thought for a moment and said, "This servant didn't notice. However, it's true that the Fourth Prince is in a bad mood!"
"Since that's the case, then let's just ignore it!"
Emperor Kangxi was not a nanny.
His sons have grown up; it's time for them to face the challenges of life on their own.
"By my decree, the Fourth Princess Consort, Ulanara, shall be rewarded!"
Since the Fourth Prince is not the one who received the auspicious purple aura from the east, some of the previous plans should be changed.
...
The Fourth Prince was unaware that he had missed something, and even if he had, he probably wouldn't have cared much. It wasn't until he returned to the manor that he suddenly realized his wife's luck that day had been absolutely phenomenal!
Could there be some secret here?
The Fourth Prince's curiosity was piqued, and he wanted to find out more. Unfortunately, he was destined to return empty-handed.
When the Fourth Prince quietly arrived at Rong Xi's courtyard, he saw Rong Xi teaching Magpie how to cultivate.
"Master, I'm not reacting at all!"
After a while, the magpie began to report its situation.
In spiritual practice, the first step is to generate a sense of Qi.
Rong Xi still doesn't know how she broke through to the next level. She just feels that she should be a natural cultivator. There's no cultivation technique that she can't understand.
"That doesn't make sense!"
Rong Xi tried to channel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within her body into Xi Que's body to help her find her sense of energy. Tragically, it was completely useless. Xi Que's cultivation aptitude was exceptionally poor, a rarity in the world.
“Master, let’s forget about it. I can practice external martial arts, just like you did when you were a child.”
