Are you sure?
When the Fourth Prince heard what Granny Xiang said, he was completely distraught.
I ate three Linggu Honey Pills at once!
At his Golden Core stage, this single Spirit Valley Honey Pill could sustain him for ten to fifteen days. While cultivators need to replenish a large amount of Qi and blood essence during Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, the amount required by this Ulanara clan seems excessive!
"This servant saw with my own eyes that the Madam ate three Linggu Honey Pills in a row!"
Granny Xiang responded respectfully.
"Could this be the special feature of the five spiritual roots?"
The Fourth Prince frowned slightly.
"Granny Xiang, could it be that your Spirit Valley Honey Pills aren't effective enough?"
The Fourth Prince looked at Granny Xiang, still unable to believe it.
Granny Xiang gave a bitter smile and said, "Your Highness, my Spirit Valley Honey Pills are produced by the Imperial Household Department. How could they be ineffective? Besides, one Spirit Valley Honey Pill at a time can keep me from feeling hungry for half a month!"
"I'll handle the matter of the Spirit Valley Honey Pills!"
Although the Fourth Prince has a cold and aloof personality, he is also someone who refuses to admit defeat.
He was a prince, a nobleman of the highest rank. If he, a nobleman, couldn't even guarantee the supply of the spiritual grains and honey pills needed for his own wife's cultivation, how shameful would that be!
"Your Highness, I'm wondering if the Princess Consort is acting this way because she's eating for two? After all, she's pregnant!"
"Furthermore, the effects of Spirit Valley Honey Pills are ultimately no match for genuine Spirit Food!"
Granny Xiang truly devoted herself to Rong Xi.
The Fourth Prince could only enjoy the imperial banquet two or three times a month. And that was only when Emperor Kangxi hosted a banquet. If Emperor Kangxi didn't host a banquet, the Fourth Prince really couldn't afford the imperial banquet on his own.
There are many spirit beasts and ferocious beasts in this world, and even more spiritual herbs. But the problem is, they are simply impossible to obtain.
Once a spirit beast or ferocious beast reaches adulthood, it possesses the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage and its own bloodline secret techniques, making it exceptionally difficult to hunt them.
As for spiritual herbs, they have always been protected by ferocious beasts or spirit beasts.
"I will consider this matter!"
The Fourth Prince sighed inwardly.
Poor scholars, rich men!
If he hadn't been born into royalty, it would have been impossible for him to have such cultivation at this age.
Even as a prince, the Fourth Prince still faced many difficulties.
Of all his brothers, the one who received the best treatment was naturally the Crown Prince.
Because of Empress Renxiao, the Crown Prince held a very high position in Emperor Kangxi's heart.
"This servant takes her leave!"
Seeing that the Fourth Prince was in deep thought, Granny Xiang bowed and quietly withdrew.
Spiritual practice requires time, but even more so, it requires resources.
Law, wealth, companion, and land!
Four essential points for spiritual practice.
Born into royalty, one has no shortage of cultivation methods, resources, or even cultivation partners and places. However, everyone desires something better.
To achieve something better, one needs power!
The Fourth Prince once took a very indifferent view of the struggle for power and profit.
However, when he learned from Granny Xiang that Rong Xi needed three Spirit Valley Honey Pills to replenish her qi and blood after each cultivation session, the Fourth Prince realized that he had been mistaken.
Spiritual practice is important, but having power is also important.
With power comes more resources and a better environment for spiritual practice.
For example, if these princes want to cultivate more effectively, they have to stay in the Upper Cultivation Garden. This is because the Upper Cultivation Garden has a spirit-gathering array and spirit crystals that release the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
If one stays in the prince's own courtyard, one can only accelerate cultivation by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. But even absorbing the essence of the sun and moon is still not as effective as cultivating within the spirit-gathering array.
The Crown Prince's residence, Yuxiu Palace, has its own spirit-gathering array, allowing him to cultivate anytime, anywhere.
That's the difference!
...
Rong Xi had no idea that simply eating two more Spirit Valley Honey Pills after her cultivation had triggered the Fourth Prince's ambition and lust for power.
Of course, even knowing this, Rong Xi would never admit that it was her fault!
The desire to seize power and profit was clearly the Fourth Prince's own inner thought.
After confirming that she could cultivate safely, Rong Xi took a Spirit Valley Honey Pill to replenish her depleted qi and blood, and felt her body becoming increasingly light, as if she could walk through the void at any moment.
However, Rong Xi understood that this was all an illusion.
"master!"
As Rong Xi was feeling the changes in her body, a magpie appeared.
"Have you figured it out?"
Rong Xi looked at the magpie with its red eyes and spoke softly.
Magpie nodded vigorously and said, "Granny Rui taught me, and I understand now!"
Magpie was a clever girl to begin with, but in the past, no one had pointed out what she should pay attention to or explained things clearly to her. But now, with the guidance of Granny Rui, Magpie has grown up a lot.
"Good that you understand!"
Rong Xi smiled slightly, "Go and serve the meal, I'm hungry!"
"yes!"
This time, the magpie didn't chatter anymore. Granny Rui's lecture had been quite a blow to her. Even now, the magpie was still somewhat confused; why did relationships between people have to be so complicated?
Rong Xi could tell from the magpie's behavior that the girl was actually still confused.
However, Rong Xi did not intend to enlighten her now.
Understanding these things yourself is more effective than having someone else tell you them a thousand times.
"Granny Rui!"
Granny Xiang had disappeared; she was nowhere to be seen. Rong Xi then called Granny Rui over.
Although Granny Xiang didn't say it, Rong Xi could still tell that the small bottle of Linggu Honey Pills was definitely a valuable item, and it probably wasn't easy to get her hands on.
How many Spirit Valley Honey Pills do you have left?
Rong Xi didn't waste any words with Granny Xiang and went straight to the point, stating her purpose.
“Reporting to Madam, I have four Linggu Honey Pills on me. Three were distributed this month, and the last one was saved from before.”
Four!
Upon hearing what Granny Rui said, Rong Xi was certain that this Spirit Valley Honey Pill was indeed an extraordinary item.
At least, even the former Ulanara clan, who was known for her extensive reading, had never seen such a secret and magical thing as the Linggu Honey Pill.
"The world of cultivators is far more mysterious than I imagined!"
Rong Xi sighed inwardly, secretly pondering that her path of cultivation was long and arduous.
"Granny Rui, tell me, how much money do I need for a meal of spiritual food?"
“My lady, the value of spiritual food cannot be measured in money. Cultivators from all over the world have committed countless murders and robberies for a single meal of spiritual food.”
"Isn't the imperial court going to do anything about it?"
"There's nothing we can do about it!"
Granny Rui smiled bitterly, "These cultivators are all ruthless and vicious. They have accumulated a lot of experience by plundering everywhere. Once they make a move, it will surely be earth-shattering."
