Chapter 108
As the Second Prince began his cultivation, a strange smile appeared on the face of the King Wu'an.
The room gradually quieted down.
The capital city, the Princess Mansion.
After Xiao Minghuang returned, she did nothing superfluous and immediately gave the cultivation technique to Lin Wanqiu, which, as she had predicted, triggered a tenfold critical hit compensation.
He obtained a Heaven-grade Lower-grade Cultivation Method, the "Star Transformation Scripture".
"Just as I thought."
Xiao Minghuang put the golden book into her storage bag and muttered to herself.
"For the system, each cultivation technique is unique. It does not compensate by generating a new technique based on the critical hit multiplier, but rather by selecting a technique with similar potential value based on the critical hit multiplier."
In other words, when the system says ten times or a hundred times, it doesn't actually refer to that multiple.
The actual value varies slightly depending on the practitioner.
However, the Star Transformation Scripture she just acquired is a relatively widely used cultivation method that does not have special requirements for the cultivator's aptitude.
"We can give this cultivation technique to Wanqiu; she happens to be in need of a decent one."
Since leaving Beiyang City, she gave Lin Wanqiu a top-grade Yellow-rank cultivation technique, and has never given her a new one.
Therefore, Lin Wanqiu has been cultivating the highest-grade Yellow Rank cultivation technique until now.
This is quite inconsistent with her Innate Taiyin Spirit Body.
Without hesitation, Xiao Minghuang returned to Lin Wanqiu's courtyard and, without a word, directly delivered the cultivation technique to her.
Lin Wanqiu was already used to Xiao Minghuang's generosity. After thanking him and accepting the gift, she glanced at the contents of the storage bag. Seeing that it contained cultivation techniques, she seemed to remember something, pondered for a moment, and then asked:
"Your Highness, may I divide this cultivation technique into volumes and teach the basic content to the children?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang pondered for a moment and said:
"Yes, but be careful and don't let it leak out."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqiu nodded and said earnestly:
"Your Highness, rest assured, there will be no mishap."
As she spoke, she glanced at the Training Ground not far away, where Steward Wang was leading a group of guards in martial arts practice.
With the imperial examination approaching, shouldn't we eliminate the spies the Second Prince sent into the residence?
Xiao Minghuang had known for a long time that he was a spy, but she didn't take him seriously at all.
What difference would it make if the Second Prince knew some of this information?
However, with the competition about to begin, keeping this spy around is of no use anymore.
"Yes, the mansion can be cleaned now."
Lin Wanqiu nodded.
"The grand competition is tomorrow. I need to use the remaining time to try and break through to the Spring Gushing Fourth Layer, and not let anyone disturb me."
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will personally protect you after dealing with the spies."
After their conversation, Xiao Minghuang turned and headed towards the training room.
As Lin Wanqiu watched Xiao Minghuang's figure disappear into the corridor, her gentle expression gradually faded, and a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.
She returned to the courtyard, faced the void, and spoke softly:
"You all heard what I just said, it's time to clean up the spies in the manor!"
"Yes, Miss!"
Several cold, sinister voices rang out simultaneously.
The words had barely left his mouth.
Lin Wanqiu spoke again, her tone still calm.
"No: Yes, miss."
"But rather: Yes, it is, the princess!"
127. A thousandfold critical hit! Top- Earth Tier Top-grade!
Upon hearing this, the several people hidden in the shadows all tensed up.
They understood the meaning behind Miss Lin's words.
This means that Miss Lin never considered herself their master, but rather completely treated them as the princess's subordinates, training and using them.
In an instant.
The expressions on their faces became complicated.
Miss Lin is truly loyal to the princess!
"Yes, Your Princess Your Highness!"
Hearing this, Lin Wanqiu nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Be discreet and don't leave any trace."
"Yes!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Several gloomy auras vanished.
Lin Wanqiu knew that tonight was destined to be an unavoidable night.
But she had no time to mourn the loss of these lives.
She started walking towards the practice room.
The grand competition is tomorrow, and His Highness is currently in seclusion. She must go and protect His Highness.
Inside the training room.
Xiao Minghuang sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes, and circulated the <Imperial Ziwei Scripture> once.
Although she obtained the second Heaven-tier Cultivation Method, it would be impossible for her to cultivate it to the Major Accomplishment Perfection level in just one day.
If one does not cultivate Heaven-tier Cultivation Method to the point of Major Accomplishment, one cannot comprehend the supernatural powers contained within it.
Heaven-tier Cultivation Method without supernatural powers is like a person without a soul; it only has form but no true meaning, and its power is only similar to that of Earth-tier Cultivation Method.
Xiao Minghuang's plan is to continue improving her cultivation level.
Previously, when the King Wu'an surrendered, he gave her a storage bag. She only glanced at it briefly and did not carefully examine how much was inside.
But since it's a pledge of allegiance from a powerful expert at the Divine Sea Realm, its value is beyond doubt.
As expected.
Xiao Minghuang opened the storage bag and saw countless spirit stones and pills, amounting to hundreds of thousands!
Moreover, it contained many Xuan-grade pills, and even dozens of Mid-grade Spirit Stones.
"King Wu'an, I have felt your sincerity."
Seeing so many treasures in the storage bag, Xiao Minghuang's lips curled up slightly, and a smile appeared in the corner of her eye.
These spirit stones and pills are enough to help her break through to the Spring Gushing Fourth Layer!
Thinking of this, she decided to treat Xu Xiuer better in the future, after all, that girl was the only granddaughter of the King Wu'an.
Looking at the spirit stones and pills in the storage bag, Xiao Minghuang suddenly remembered something.
"I almost forgot, I need to give these treasures to Ruoshui, otherwise we'd be at a huge loss."
Xiao Minghuang patted his head and chuckled.
Immediately, she got up and headed for the door.
Pushing open the door, I saw three familiar figures.
It was Ye Ruoshui, Lin Wanqiu, and Xu Xiuer.
Lin Wanqiu was meditating with her eyes closed, while Ye Ruoshui and Xu Xiuer sat at the stone table, reading a thick book.
The moment she pushed open the door, all three of them reacted simultaneously and looked at her.
"Your Highness!"*3
Three voices rang out simultaneously.
A smile appeared on Xiao Minghuang's face. She hadn't expected that all three girls would come running over.
Lin Wanqiu stepped forward and smiled gently:
"Your Highness, I met Ruoshui and Miss Xu on the way. Ruoshui said she wanted to come too, so she brought them along."
Lin Wanqiu had complete confidence in Ye Ruoshui, and as for Xu Xiuer, with her cultivation level, she posed no threat to His Highness, so Lin Wanqiu was also very at ease.
"Um..."
Xiao Minghuang nodded in agreement, then waved to Ye Ruoshui.
"Ruoshui, come here quickly, your sister has something to give you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ruoshui took off with her fair and delicate legs and quickly ran over.
"Your Highness, what are you going to give me this time?"
Ye Ruoshui's small face showed curiosity.
Xiao Minghuang took out a storage bag from his sleeve and put it into Ye Ruoshui's hand.
At the same time.
The system's voice echoed in her mind.
[Bite!]
[Successfully detected that the host has gifted the opportunity!]
[Congratulations, host, you have triggered a tenfold critical hit compensation...]
"Ah! So many spirit stones and pills!"
Upon receiving the storage bag, Ye Ruoshui's small face showed surprise.
She had received gifts from His Highness before, but never in such a large quantity.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Ye Ruoshui knew that since His Highness had given it to her, she had no choice but to accept the enormous sum of spirit stones and pills, amounting to hundreds of thousands of coins, with tears in her eyes.
Xiao Minghuang patted Ye Ruoshui's head and said softly:
"Cultivate diligently, and don't get distracted by play!"
Although they had already cultivated together, Ye Ruoshui still had the mindset of a young girl who never grew up. Therefore, when Xiao Minghuang faced Ye Ruoshui, he had the mentality of an adult looking after a child and was always worried about her.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ruoshui smiled sweetly:
"Your Highness, I have been diligently cultivating!"
As she spoke, she took a box from her sleeve and handed it to Xiao Minghuang.
"What's this?"
Xiao Minghuang took the box and asked curiously.
"Your Highness will know once you open it."
Ye Ruoshui clenched her small fists, looking at her with anticipation.
Without thinking much, Xiao Minghuang gently lifted the lid of the box.
