Third Turn

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said no more.

Defeating Yuan Zhen's two princes had won some face for the Jade Scenery Dynasty.

But as princes themselves, the three of them would not be grateful to him for it. Instead, they would be jealous.

Chu Zhiyuan was not afraid of their jealousy, but he did not want to arouse their curiosity and scrutiny. He only wanted to establish himself as a genius.

He wanted them to understand just how extraordinary he was—that they could only look up at him, never stand in his way.

Chu Zhiyuan closed his eyes and began cultivating the Immeasurable Light Sutra.

As the Immeasurable Light Sutra circulated, two streams of energy entered his body at once and drilled into the Little White Snake.

The Little White Snake's body turned blue. As the Immeasurable Light Sutra circulated, the pale blue deepened, becoming a rich azure.

Chu Zhiyuan felt that the Third Turn was within arm's reach, with only the slightest gap remaining.

Yet that slight gap still took him an entire day. By evening, a second halo appeared outside the Little White Snake's body.

One green halo and one blue halo made it look rather mystical.

After entering the Third Turn, the Little White Snake circulated faster, and the True Essence flowing through its body became purer.

When he returned to his small courtyard in satisfaction, he saw Li Yuzhen standing beside Youlan.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at her and said flatly, "What does she want this time?"

Li Yuzhen had come looking for him of her own accord, so Twelfth Princess must have sent her.

Otherwise, Li Yuzhen would never have appeared before him voluntarily.

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

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
