Imperial Cultivation

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and didn't say anything more.

He had defeated the Second Prince and the Third Prince of Yuanzhen, which could be considered as earning face for the Jade Scenery Dynasty.

However, as princes, the three of them would not be grateful to him for this, but would instead be jealous.

Chu Zhiyuan was not afraid of their jealousy, but he didn't want to arouse their curiosity and investigation, he just wanted to establish his image as a genius.

To make them understand how much of a genius he was, that they could only look up to him and not hinder him.

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes and began to cultivate the Boundless Brightness Sutra.

As the Boundless Brightness Sutra circulated, two streams of energy simultaneously entered his body and the body of the little white snake.

The little white snake's body turned blue, and as the Boundless Brightness Sutra circulated, the light blue became richer, becoming azure blue.

Chu Zhiyuan felt that the third transformation was just around the corner, only a little bit away.

However, this little bit still took him a day, and by evening, a second halo appeared outside the little white snake's body.

One green halo and one blue halo, which looked quite magical.

After entering the third transformation, the little white snake's circulation speed was even faster, and the true essence flowing inside its body was even purer.

When he returned to his small courtyard, satisfied, he saw Li Yuzhen beside Youlan.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at her and said lightly, "What's her business again?"

Li Yuzhen took the initiative to come, it must be at the behest of the Twelfth Princess.

Otherwise, Li Yuzhen would never have taken the initiative to appear in front of him.

"Your Highness has found another demon crystal." Li Yuzhen took out a small box from her sleeve and handed it over.

The small box, only a finger long and a finger wide, was exquisite and delicate, with a faint purple lacquer.

After opening it, inside was a emerald green demon crystal, the size of a fingernail, emerald green and deep, extremely dazzling.

"It's still from the wolf tribe," Chu Zhiyuan said.

Li Yuzhen nodded lightly: "Among the many demon clans, the wolf tribe is the easiest to obtain demon crystals from."

"Because they are weak?"

"Yes, and also because the wolf tribe often appears collectively, never alone." Li Yuzhen said, "They are also more stupid."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Are they easy to deal with?"

"Not easy," Li Yuzhen said lightly, "Those below the Transformation God Realm cannot withstand a single blow from them, and those below the Entry Spirit level cannot break through their defenses."

"Since you are a Spirit Guard, you must have killed wolf tribe experts before."

"The most killed are the wolf tribe, their numbers are huge."

"Then how many have you killed?"

"Two or three hundred, maybe." Li Yuzhen said lightly.

"It's easy to run into the wolf tribe."

Chu Zhiyuan was surprised: "Two or three hundred? How long did it take?"

"Two years, maybe." Li Yuzhen said.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Have you ever obtained a demon crystal from the wolf tribe?"

"I haven't gotten a single one." Li Yuzhen said, "My cultivation is too weak, I can't get a demon crystal."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded thoughtfully.

He immediately understood what Li Yuzhen meant.

To obtain a demon crystal, one must instantly kill the demon clan, so that they don't have time to destroy the demon crystal.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and pondered.

In this way, if it is an expert in the eighth or ninth transformation of the Transformation God Realm, it should be easy to obtain demon crystals.

But the reality is that demon crystals are still scarce and rarely seen.

If one could really crush the demon clan with cultivation and obtain demon crystals, it would not be like this.

Therefore, there must be a reason.

"If the cultivation reaches the eighth or ninth transformation, can a large number of demon crystals be obtained?"

"Impossible."

"Why?"

"I wouldn't dare, once I dare to do so, it will inevitably lead to the demon clan's crazy revenge, and the demon clan will kill anyone who hunts demon clans for demon crystals at all costs."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "This shows that demon crystals are too important to them."

"It's important to them, but not so important to us." Li Yuzhen said, "It's not worth it."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly: "For us, demon crystals are not of much use."

"Exactly." Li Yuzhen said.

It's not that the top human experts are afraid of the demon clan's crazy revenge, but that the gains do not outweigh the losses.

If demon crystals were useful enough, the top human experts would definitely dare to do so.

For himself, demon crystals were extremely important.

Li Yuzhen said: "His Highness said, this may be the last one."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Okay, thank him for me."

"Yes."

"Is there any result over there?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "Has the message I sent her been verified?"

"…"

"Alright, go." Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

In the early morning, after Chu Zhiyuan had eaten, he was not in a hurry to go to the True Martial Courtyard.

He sat at the stone table in his small courtyard, holding a piece of white jade in his hand.

The Spirit Accumulating Treasure Pearl under his neck had returned to its emerald green color, deep and peaceful.

His mental power had been replenished again.

The way it replenishes mental power is quite wonderful, it actually absorbs it unconsciously while he is sleeping.

Super Perception knew that it was actually collecting the mental power that he dissipated while sleeping.

Unconsciously, it would be full overnight.

Through it, Chu Zhiyuan discovered that he was actually dissipating mental power at night.

Could it be that when in a state of sleep, mental power can no longer be condensed inside the body and dissipates out?

Or is it that the mental power fluctuates when he dreams?

It could fill the Spirit Accumulating Treasure Pearl overnight, so a lot of mental power was dissipated.

Collecting this dissipated mental power, the Spirit Accumulating Treasure Pearl can be considered as waste utilization.

He took out the Brightness Prose that he had previously copied and placed it on the stone table.

Youlan looked at it curiously from the side, wondering why he didn't hurry to Brightness Peak, but instead dawdled here.

Chu Zhiyuan placed the industry stone tablet engraved with the Brightness Prose and then took out the Autumn Water Divine Knife, turning his head and saying: "Aunt, don't disturb me."

"Understood." Youlan nodded quickly.

She floated out of the small courtyard, gave a few instructions to the guards outside the courtyard, and then returned to the courtyard.

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes and began to concentrate on the Autumn Water Divine Knife.

… …

A quarter of an hour later, a smile appeared on Chu Zhiyuan's pale face.

The second piece of white jade was carved with the Brightness Prose again, and it also became a piece of industry stone.

He was very curious as to why others hadn't discovered this mystery.

Then he vaguely understood.

The requirements for being able to comprehend this and copy it are too harsh.

The first step is to have Super Perception, to be able to see the aura on this industry stone wall, and then to be able to clearly see the Brightness Prose.

With the naked eye alone, you cannot clearly see the Brightness Prose.

Then you must also be able to stare at the Brightness Prose while copying it, multitasking.

You must also have enough mental power.

It is really not easy to gather these together.

Holding the two industry stone tablets, when he appeared in the True Martial Courtyard, the First Prince, Second Prince, and Third Prince had already arrived.

Seeing him appear, the three of them opened their eyes.

"Ninth Brother, why are you so late today?" Chu Liexuan said with a chuckle: "Sleeping in? … Look at your face, you have a woman?"

Chu Zhiyuan snorted: "Second Brother does have experience."

"It looks like you've been overdoing it," Chu Liexuan laughed: "Your aura is weak and your face is pale, you should take it easy!"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, too lazy to explain.

He couldn't say that he was like this because he was copying the Brightness Prose.

"Ninth Brother, don't forget that you have a wife, you can't mess around." Chu Lieyang said in a deep voice.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at him.

Chu Lieyang said: "If the Twelfth Princess knows, she will definitely not be happy."

Chu Zhiyuan snorted: "What does it matter to me whether she is happy or not?"

"Ninth Brother, since you are a consort …"

"Third Brother, let's cultivate." Chu Zhiyuan interrupted him impatiently and closed his eyes.

"You …" Chu Lieyang glared at him dissatisfied.

Chu Liexuan quickly said: "Forget it, Third Brother, cultivate, cultivate."

Chu Lieyang glared at Chu Zhiyuan and snorted in dissatisfaction.
