Chapter 91: Second entry into the Xuanzi Library, third-grade opportunity (ten more)
Xuan character library.
This is Zhou Haochen's second time here.
Last time, Zhou Haochen obtained the Thunder God Seal, the most precious treasure of the Five Thunder Sect, from the Xuan Character Library.
The biggest difference this time from the last time is that the person leading the way is no longer Eunuch Wei, the close companion of Emperor Qianyuan, but Eunuch Xu, the seal holder of the Imperial Stables.
"Your Highness, if you need any treasure, please tell me and I will get it for you."
"Thank you, Eunuch Xu!"
"Rong Gu sensed something."
Zhou Haochen said it was perception, but in fact it was the hexagram in his mind.
At this moment, he felt a burning sensation between his brows. A golden light burst out from the Bagua diagram, and two hexagrams appeared in his mind.
[Fire Heaven: The best hexagram. Choose the treasure on the second shelf in the third row and fifth column. You will get a fourth-grade opportunity. Very auspicious.]
[Heavenly Fire: A middle-upper hexagram. Choose other treasures from the Xuanzi Library to get a fifth-grade opportunity. A small fortune.]
Seeing the content of the hexagram, Zhou Haochen curled his lips.
It seems that the treasures in the Xuan character library are almost emptied by me.
The last time I took away the second-grade opportunity Thunder God Seal.
There is also a fourth-grade opportunity this time, and other than that, the rest are fifth-grade opportunities.
Following the instructions of the hexagram, Zhou Haochen walked to the third row and fifth column, pointed his finger at the second shelf, and said.
"Eunuch Xu, I have chosen it, this is it!"
When Eunuch Xu saw Zhou Haochen's choice, his face turned strange.
"Your Highness, in my opinion, you might as well choose a new treasure."
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the treasure selected by Gu Xuan?"
Hearing the slight displeasure in Zhou Haochen's tone, Eunuch Xu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
I don’t know whether the Thirteenth Prince was unlucky or too lucky, he actually chose this one from the vast treasures.
In the entire Xuan character library, this treasure is the most special.
The reason why the Thirteenth Prince is lucky is that this treasure is of the highest grade in the entire Xuan character library, high enough to be placed in the Di character library.
The reason why the Thirteenth Prince is said to be unlucky is because this treasure is useless.
Precisely because it cannot be used, it was moved from the Di character library to the Xuan character library.
"Your Highness, the treasure you chose is a poisonous insect."
"This insect, called the Heart Controlling Gu, has the ability to control the host's mind. It's extremely strange."
"However, the Heart Control Gu is currently in a dormant state. If you want it to wake up, you need to feed it with special spiritual herbs."
"What spiritual herb?" Zhou Haochen asked.
"Yinshui Purple Leaf Sunflower!"
"The Yinshui Purple Leaf Sunflower has long been extinct. The last time it appeared was twelve thousand years ago."
"If Your Highness wants to use the mind-controlling Gu, you may have to try your luck and look for the Yinshui Purple Leaf Sunflower."
Yinshui purple-leaf sunflower?
When Zhou Haochen heard this, his face turned strange.
Isn’t this one of the many elixirs he looted from the Forgotten River a few days ago?
No wonder the Mind Control Gu was rated as a fourth-grade opportunity by the Bagua Diagram.
For others, even if they got the mind-controlling Gu, if they wanted to revive it, they could only try their luck and see if they could find the Yinshui Purple Leaf Sunflower.
But for Zhou Haochen, it was completely different.
The Yinshui Purple Leaf Sunflower was in his storage bag.
[Heart Control Gu: In dormant state, one of the ten great Gu insects in Southern Xinjiang, has the effect of controlling people's minds, needs to be fed with Yinshui Purple Leaf Sunflower.]
"Eunuch Xu, I have decided that I want this insect."
"Anyway, I don't fancy the other treasures in the Xuanzi Library, so I might as well try my luck and see if I can find the Yinshui Purple Leaf Sunflower."
"If we find it, we will make a lot of money!"
Seeing Zhou Haochen's mentality, Eunuch Xu stopped trying to persuade him.
After leaving the Xuanzi Library, Zhou Haochen went to Jingqizhai and exchanged greetings with his mother before leaving the palace.
After returning to the palace, Zhou Haochen couldn't wait to take out the mind-controlling Gu.
The mind-controlling insect looks like a silkworm, which is completely different from the ferocious appearance Zhou Haochen had imagined. It is not scary at all and is even a little cute.
But if anyone underestimates the Mind Controlling Gu because of its cute appearance, he will definitely suffer a great loss.
It controls the host's mind and is listed as one of the top ten poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang.
All of them tell of the power and weirdness of the mind-controlling insect.
The silkworm-like mind-controlling insect lay in the palm of Zhou Haochen's hand, motionless.
It looked like death.
Then, Zhou Haochen took a leaf and placed it in his palm. After waiting for a while, the sleeping mind-controlling Gu reacted, and its fat white body began to wriggle.
As if it smelled the unique fragrance of Yinshui Purple Leaf Sunflower, it slowly opened its eyes and ate with relish.
Watching the Mind Controlling Gu feasting on the food, Zhou Haochen quickly dripped a drop of essence and blood, which fell on the Mind Controlling Gu's body to refine it.
Because he had just awakened and had not yet recovered to his full state, the entire refining process was quite easy.
Zhou Haochen refined the mind-controlling Gu without encountering any resistance.
Gu cultivators were extremely rare in the Great Yu Dynasty.
They only exist in large numbers in southern Xinjiang.
Gu Xiu, famous for raising and refining Gu, is considered a niche branch of Taoist cultivation and is ranked among many unorthodox practices.
Precisely because Gu cultivation is a branch of Taoist cultivation, refining Gu insects is not difficult for Taoist practitioners, and is almost the same as refining magic weapons.
After putting away the mind-controlling Gu, Zhou Haochen took out half of the jade pendant dug out from the orphanage.
This half of the jade pendant contains dragon energy.
A white dragon is swimming inside the jade pendant.
Zhou Haochen was very familiar with this white dragon, and it came from the same source as the dragon energy in the jade ring of Emperor Wen of Jin.
They are both the remaining dragon energy of the Great Jin Dynasty.
[Half a jade pendant: The jade pendant that Emperor Wen of Jin carried with him was a token of his loyalty to the emperor when he entered his mausoleum. It contained the dragon energy of the Great Jin Dynasty.]
"A keepsake from the tomb of Emperor Wen of Jin!"
An expression of surprise appeared on Zhou Haochen's face.
This half piece of jade pendant is not only a personal jade pendant of Emperor Wen of Jin, but also involves Emperor Wen of Jin’s mausoleum.
This is really...
Zhou Haochen didn’t know what to say?
Is there a special bond between me and Emperor Wen of Jin?
This was the second time he had received something personal from Emperor Wen of Jin.
The last time it was a jade ring unearthed from ancient ore, and this time it was a portable jade pendant dug out from the ground.
The last jade ring contained a map, and this half of the jade pendant is a token of the tomb of Emperor Wen of Jin.
If there was only half a piece, Zhou Haochen would have been tempted to act like a thief and dig up the tomb of Emperor Wen of Jin.
Suppressing the urge to become a tomb robber, Zhou Haochen began to refine the dragon energy in the jade pendant.
In the next few days, Zhou Haochen stopped investigating the case and focused on practicing.
Not only did he rely on the dragon energy in the jade pendant, but he also broke through several small realms in his martial arts realm.
On the path of Taoism, one also gains a lot.
Wu Earth is the true thunder, reaching the highest level.
Apart from this, Zhou Haochen was waiting for orders from Emperor Qianyuan.
Unfortunately, for several days, there was no movement from Emperor Qianyuan, which made Zhou Haochen very curious.
……
Cui family villa.
A middle-aged man, exhausted and dusty, arrived at the Cui family's villa, with an air of something extraordinary.
This person is Steward Cui, who came to Yujing City on the orders of Cui Zhengxin to look for the whereabouts of Cui Caiwei.
As Butler Cui is Cui Zhengxin's confidant and the core figure of the Cui family, his every move after entering Yujing City will fall into the eyes of those who are interested.
In order to conceal his true purpose, Butler Cui told the public that he was in Yujing City to visit old friends of the Cui family.
Of course, Zhou Haochen, the future son-in-law of the Cui family, was naturally also on the list of people that Butler Cui would visit.
Just after Butler Cui had taken a bath, a messenger hurried into the Cui family's villa.
"Butler, the master asked me to give this to you."
"The master has instructed that you, the butler, must read this letter before visiting the Thirteenth Prince!"
The words delivered by the messenger surprised Butler Cui greatly.
Because Choi Jung-sim's order was too weird.
In order to read this letter before visiting the Thirteenth Prince?
Could it be that this letter...
With doubts in his heart, Butler Cui read the contents of the letter.
The expression on his face changed from surprise to shock, then changed twice, revealing deep fear and confusion.
"The truth behind the tree heart theft case turned out to be this."
