Chapter 2: Second-Rank Opportunity
Again!
Finally, there is another good fortune!

Zhou Haochen was cheered up, but his expression was quite calm.

He has encountered similar things five times.

Since traveling through time for a month, the Bagua diagram in his mind has helped him turn danger into safety and also brought him many opportunities.

After five times of turning danger into safety, Zhou Haochen also figured out some patterns.

The hexagrams can be divided into the lowest hexagram, the middle-lower hexagram, the middle-middle hexagram, the middle-upper hexagram and the highest hexagram.

The worst hexagram is undoubtedly the worst hexagram. It is like a sinkhole. Not only does it have no opportunities, it also carries a huge crisis.

The middle and lower hexagrams are not auspicious hexagrams either. There may be no opportunities, but the danger is smaller than that of the lower hexagrams. Or there may be opportunities, but the risks are greater and the gains do not outweigh the losses.

A middle hexagram, neither bad nor good, with opportunities and risks, or nothing happening.

A middle-upper hexagram, a lucky hexagram, which means you can get opportunities without any risk, or the opportunities are extremely great but the risks are controllable.

As for the Shangshang hexagram, it is undoubtedly the hexagram that people have always dreamed of.

Not only can you get a great opportunity, but it is also risk-free throughout the process, just like pie falling from the sky.

Among the five previous times when Zhou Haochen was able to turn misfortune into fortune, he only encountered an excellent hexagram once.

The best divination that time, like this time, was a second-grade opportunity...

"Chen'er, have you thought it through?"

The majestic voice of Emperor Qianyuan sounded, bringing Zhou Haochen's thoughts back to reality.

"Your Majesty, I want to go to the Ministry of Works to observe government affairs." Zhou Haochen said in a deep voice.

"The Ministry of Industry manages engineering projects, government agencies, farming, and water conservancy projects. These jobs are all very hard. Are you sure you want to choose the Ministry of Industry?"

"The Ministry of Personnel and the Secret Realm Department are much easier than the Ministry of Works? Are you sure you want to go to the Ministry of Works?"

Emperor Qianyuan asked back, his square face expressionless, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Officials?

He went to the Ministry of Personnel because he was a masochist.

Zhou Haochen spat in his heart.

The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of personnel affairs and is the head of the Six Ministries. It was spotted by the Crown Prince early on and regarded as his own territory.

The second prince had reached into the Ministry of Personnel many times, but his claws were cut off by the crown prince every time.

When he entered the Ministry of Personnel to observe government affairs, wasn't that like an old man eating arsenic and seeking death?

Zhou Haochen didn't want to get involved in the fight for the throne.

He only hoped that the fight for the throne would end quickly so that he could be a leisurely prince.

As for the Secret Realm Department, it looks even more dangerous than the Ministry of Personnel!

He couldn't avoid it!
"Your Majesty, I am not afraid of hard work."

"Father, you are busy with many things every day, and you work day and night. Naturally, I have to share your worries. I can persevere in the work of the Ministry of Works, no matter how tiring it is."

Emperor Qianyuan nodded slightly, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

"The Thirteenth Prince entered the Ministry of Works to observe government affairs. His filial piety is commendable. I will reward him with a treasure from the Xuanzi Library."

"Big friend, take Chen'er to the Xuanzi Library."

"Thank you, Father!"

Zhou Haochen bowed to Emperor Qianyuan with a faint smile on his face.

The Xuanzi Library does not belong to the national treasury, but is a secret library exclusively for Emperor Qianyuan.

Emperor Qianyuan has four secret libraries, and the Xuanzi Library is one of them.

My second-grade opportunity should fall on the Xuan character library.

"Your Highness, please come with me." Eunuch Wei's slightly shrill voice reached Zhou Haochen's ears.

"Thank you, Eunuch Wei."

Zhou Haochen did not dare to be negligent in the slightest towards the eunuch Wei in front of him.

Eunuch Wei was a close companion of Emperor Qianyuan and the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department. He could be said to be Emperor Qianyuan's most trusted confidant.

Even the prime minister of the cabinet has to give him some face.

Leaning on a yellow pear wood cane, Zhou Haochen came to a palace deep in the imperial palace.

In the palace, two teams of black-armored guards were guarding the palace gate.

Each of them is an elite selected from the imperial guards. Their dark black scale armor emits a cold light, and they wear embroidered spring swords on their waists. They have a deep and solemn aura and do not look like people who are easy to mess with.

"Your Highness, you can enter the Xuanzi Library to select a treasure. Remember not to be greedy, otherwise it will trigger the formation in the Xuanzi Library."

"Also, there are three steps at the entrance, Your Highness, please be careful with your steps."

"Thank you, Eunuch Wei, for your advice."

Zhou Haochen tapped the steps with his cane, pretending not to do anything, and did not arouse Eunuch Wei's suspicion.

Walking into the Xuanzi Library, you will find that it covers a very large area, with only one big door as an entrance and no other windows.

The walls and roof of the palace were inlaid with fist-sized luminous pearls, so densely packed that there were more than 100,000 pearls in the Xuan character library alone, which showed how luxurious the palace was.

"Where is the second-grade opportunity?" Zhou Haochen looked around and thought secretly in his heart.

Suddenly, a golden light burst out from the Bagua diagram in the sea of ​​consciousness.

[Thunder God Seal: The Five Thunder Sect's most precious treasure, rumor has it that it was once used by the ancient Thunder God. It has a trace of Thunder God's aura and contains a top-notch Thunder Technique inheritance.]

In an instant, Zhou Haochen's eyes were fixed on a small purple seal.

The Thunder God Seal is the second-grade opportunity this time.

At the same time, Eunuch Wei's voice sounded in Zhou Haochen's ears.

"Your Highness, let me introduce you to the treasures in the Xuanzi Library."

"Eunuch Wei, that's not necessary."

"I have a connection with the East, so I chose this treasure."

As he spoke, Zhou Haochen raised his rosewood cane, with the tip of the cane pointing due east, which was exactly the direction where the Thunder God Seal was.

Seeing Zhou Haochen choose the treasure so carelessly, Eunuch Wei's somewhat feminine face showed a trace of astonishment. "Your Highness, are you sure?"

"The opportunity to enter the Xuan Character Library is extremely rare. Not every prince has the opportunity to enter the Xuan Character Library when observing politics."

"Thank you for your reminder, sir. I am sure."

"Anyway, I am alone and cannot see anything. Choosing seriously is just a blind choice. I might as well go with the flow."

Seeing that Zhou Haochen was sure, Eunuch Wei stopped persuading him and took the Thunder God Seal from the shelf.

The Thunder God Seal was crystal clear all over, revealing a bluish-purple luster, as if it was carved from top-grade jade.

The brilliant blue-purple color on the Thunder God's Seal seemed like the purest thunder in the sky.

It feels soft and smooth to the touch, like top-grade jade, with a silky touch.

A drop of blood was squeezed out from the fingertips and dripped onto the Thunder God Seal.

The essence and blood merged into the Thunder God Seal.

Suddenly, a blue-purple light burst out.

Pure thunder rushed into Zhou Haochen's body.

Zhou Haochen's expression suddenly changed. This was the Thunder Body Tempering Technique, but...

Xuanziku is not a suitable place for cultivation.

Eunuch Wei said softly, "Your Highness, just keep practicing. I will protect you."

"Thank you, Eunuch Wei!"

With Eunuch Wei's promise, Zhou Haochen immediately sat down cross-legged and absorbed the roaring thunder in his body.

A tingling sensation flows through every part of my body.

It felt as if there were millions of ants gnawing at my flesh and blood inside my body.

A moment later, thunder bloomed in the flesh and blood.

It violently impacts the skin, membranes, tendons and bones.

A burning breath, like a fire, like a furnace of heaven and earth, was about to melt Zhou Haochen.

Removes impurities, leaving behind essence.

Thunder body tempering!

Zhou Haochen did not dare to underestimate the severe pain brought by the thunder body tempering, and hurriedly guarded his spiritual platform, standing still like a mountain.

Feel the changes brought about by Thunder Body Tempering.

The muscles are knotted and the blood is boiling.

The muscles in his limbs and bones were twisted into a ball, concealing a terrifying power.

A quarter of an hour later.

call--

Zhou Haochen let out a long breath, and then exhaled a white air wave.

His eyes suddenly opened, and two bright rays of light burst out.

He is full of energy and his eyes are sharp.

It’s a pity that no one can see this scene because of the cover of the black ribbon.

"Thunderbolt tempers the body, breaking through three levels in a row."

"The effect is surprisingly good. This is just the additional effect of the Thunder God Seal, not including the Thunder God Seal itself and the hidden inheritance."

"It is indeed a second-grade opportunity!"

Zhou Haochen thought secretly in his heart, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

In the Dayu Dynasty, the four major cultivation systems of martial arts, Buddhism and Confucianism are collectively known as the Four Righteous Paths, which are the avenues that lead directly to the Heavenly Gate.

The cultivation systems of the four schools of martial arts, Buddhism and Confucianism are each divided into the lower five realms, the middle four realms and the upper three realms, for a total of twelve realms.

The first level of martial arts is body training.

There are four stages in body training: skin, membrane, tendons and bones.

The four levels are progressed step by step, and after completion, it is like a complete transformation.

The thunder body tempering just now helped Zhou Haochen break through three levels in a row. He completed the tempering of the skin, membrane, and tendons, leaving only the last level of bones.

Eunuch Wei, who was guarding the side, saw Zhou Haochen finish his training and congratulated him with a smile.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, for taking another step forward."

"It's all thanks to my father's great blessing."

"It's all thanks to your protection, Eunuch Wei."

Zhou Haochen said softly, and couldn't help but sigh that Eunuch Wei really knew how to behave.

Eunuch Wei was a close companion of Emperor Qianyuan. Once the new emperor ascended the throne, Eunuch Wei would inevitably lose power.

Therefore, Eunuch Wei treated all the princes well, even the blind prince like himself who seemed to have no hope of ascending the throne.

No matter which prince ascends the throne in the future, he will give Eunuch Wei a decent exit out of consideration of their past friendship.

……

Royal study room.

Eunuch Wei sent Zhou Haochen away, returned here, and stood beside Emperor Qianyuan. His aura was restrained, as if he was a stone pillar.

After reading a memorial, Emperor Qianyuan looked up and asked.

"What did Chen'er choose?"

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the Thirteenth Prince has chosen the Thunder God Seal."

Emperor Qianyuan was silent for a moment, his eyes cast towards the distant sky, his lips moved a few times, and he murmured softly.

"Thunder God Seal?"

"God's will?"
