Chapter 499 - 310: The Arrival of Two Golden Pillars! The Entire Qin Capital Pays a Visit!_4

Chu Ming’s gaze slightly concentrated.

The Crown Prince seemed to think that his body was frail and couldn’t easily condense Qi and Blood Power, thus he deliberately found this elixir which could help ordinary people condense Qi and Blood.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

After the Crown Prince gifted the elixir, several other princes also presented their congratulatory gifts in turn.

In the end, everyone went to the banquet hall to drink, while Chu Ming and the Seventh Prince were alone in a room.

"Duke Xirong." The Seventh Prince cupped his hands in salute, feeling quite complex.

"Your Seventh Highness, there’s no need for formalities, just call me Chu Ming."

"That won’t do; Duke Xirong is an elder. How could I dare to address you by your name directly?"

"..." Chu Ming didn’t dwell much on this, poured a cup of hot wine for the Seventh Prince, and asked, "I actually have a question I’ve always wondered about, and I hope Your Seventh Highness can enlighten me."

"Please, Duke Xirong, go ahead."

"Regarding the ’Mountain and Sea Great Wilderness Scripture·Sea Scripture,’ why are there only three hundred pages of the fragment?"

"..." The Seventh Prince fell silent, seemingly in thought.

After a while, he sipped the hot wine and finally spoke: "This scripture was obtained by my elder brother from the Yan Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum."

Yan Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum?

Yan Hanling?!

The previously acquired Yan Hanling was indeed the key to the Yan Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum’s treasure house.

However, due to a lack of strength and various matters, Chu Ming had not gone to seek it until now.

"Your Seventh Highness implies, is this scripture owned by the Yan Dynasty?"

The Seventh Prince pondered again for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "I don’t know, but I heard my elder brother say that the remaining parts of the Sea Scripture are likely hidden in another imperial mausoleum of the Yan Dynasty."

Other imperial mausoleums?

Chu Ming’s gaze turned deep.

The Yan Hanling might come in handy now.

Having already broken through to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm and with various treasures at his disposal, the site of the Yan Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum in North Snow County might be worth exploring.

"Thank you, Your Seventh Highness, for enlightening me."

"..."

Thus, as the banquet proceeded, more and more dignitaries arrived, bringing congratulatory gifts.

It continued until nightfall, and as the Crown Prince and several other princes left first, many dignitaries also withdrew from the banquet one after another.

Chu Mansion, main hall.

Piles of congratulatory gifts nearly filled the hall.

"Young Master, this is too much," Fang Xiao exclaimed.

"Indeed, there’s quite a lot." Chu Ming was also somewhat surprised by the number of gifts delivered to him.

Whether it’s gold and silver treasures, aged treasure medicine, rare treasure medicine, or items with special uses.

The haul from the congratulatory gifts was more than what would be obtained from killing three to five lower Meridian Unlocking Realm experts.

It seemed that receiving congratulatory gifts was more convenient than fighting and killing.

And this was just the first day, likely more to come.

With a slight mental command, he selected the more valuable ones from the pile of treasures and left the remaining to Housekeeper Fang to handle.

Returning to his room, Chu Ming sat cross-legged.

First, he took out the bottle of Five Yang True Pill sent by the Crown Prince, containing six pills, exuding a thick medicinal fragrance.

While this pill wasn’t particularly useful to him, it was extremely valuable as it could transform ordinary people, allowing them to step onto the path of Martial Arts.

Stowing the elixir away, he then took out the Black Patterned Robe sent by the Second Prince.

The robe was a Primordial Artifact, with Primordial Qi flowing on its surface and intricate Primordial Patterns engraved inside.

Chu Ming extended his Primordial Consciousness to delve into the robe, analyzing and comprehending it.

Before long, he had basically understood the refining method of the Black Patterned Robe as well as the inscribed Primordial Patterns.

The refining technique for the robe was quite skillful, providing good defense, slightly inferior to the Elemental Shield Shuttle, but not by much.

Strictly speaking, the Black Patterned Robe was his second major Primordial Artifact aside from the Elemental Shield Shuttle.

"Primordial Qi cultivation is stuck at the Fourth Realm, the Primordial Qi Lake Realm. Although the Primordial Qi Lake is continuously expanding, the method for the Fifth Realm remains elusive..."

Looking at the Black Patterned Robe reminded Chu Ming that it was time to spare some Heart Spirit for his Primordial Qi cultivation.

After securing the Black Patterned Robe, he looked towards two other materials, one a pitch-black liquid and the other a copper-green metal.

"Black Spirit Water... True Emerald Copper..."

Both materials were for refining Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm treasures!

"It seems to have been sent by Heavenly Inquiry Tower."

Chu Ming’s eyebrow twitched, picking up the pitch-black Black Spirit Water, as a golden light flashed in his left hand, revealing a piece of dark gold metal.

"Dark Gold Copper Mother, Black Spirit Water, Six Harmonies Profound Gold, the three refined by a special method can yield extraordinarily aggressive weapons with astonishing power."

The dark gold metal was acquired from previously defeating Shadow Building Flower Bead, and now with the Black Spirit Water in hand, only Six Harmonies Profound Gold remains before refining can be done.
