In Ling Yi's left-hand storage space, there was now a pile of pills.

He directly took out a Dipper-Sealing Pill to examine it.

A faint Spiritual Power swirled around the Dipper-Sealing Pill, and within this Spiritual Power, faint golden lines Yinyin in and out.

It looks quite mystical; no wonder it's a pill for cultivators, truly extraordinary.

Compared to Qi and Blood Pill, Divine Blood Pill, and Divine Martial Pill, those other pills are just mud balls.

" Dipper-Sealing Pill!" Liu Xi's shrill voice rang out, causing Ling Yi to roll his eyes.

Your voice sounds like that of a eunuch, well, he was a eunuch to begin with.

"This, this is the Dipper-Sealing Pill?" Yan Cheng, who was standing next to him, had never seen it before, so he asked curiously.

"This is indeed Dipper-Sealing Pill," Ling Yi said with a smile, looking at the two of them.

Upon receiving Ling Yi's affirmative answer, Liu Xi and Yan Cheng became excited, their eyes shining as they stared greedily at the pills in Ling Yi's hand.

It's no wonder they act this way.

What does the Dipper-Sealing Pill mean? It means the Immortal Path, it means they can advance further and achieve the Spirit Mastery Realm.

At the Spirit Mastery Realm, one is already an absolute powerhouse.

It should be noted that even the outer elders of the Hao Ran Sword School are only at the Spirit Mastery Realm.

To reach the Spirit Mastery Realm, one must either use a method to slowly seal one's Qi and gradually hone one's cultivation. Those with good aptitude can break through after ten or twenty years of honing their skills.

Those with poor aptitude may never break through to the Spirit Mastery Realm, even until their death.

The Dipper-Sealing Pill is even more effective than the Sealing Technique, and it seals the Qi faster, so its value is naturally immeasurable.

Let alone their Great Qian Empire, even within the Hao Ran Sword School, the Dipper-Sealing Pill is extremely rare.

Now that the Dipper-Sealing Pill is right before their eyes, and the gate to Immortal Path is within reach, how could Liu Xi and his companion not be excited?

"Want the Dipper-Sealing Pill?" Ling Yi asked with a smile.

Yan Cheng, but then shook his head, feeling that it might be inappropriate.

"Your Highness, this old servant desires the Dipper-Sealing Pill," Liu Xi said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

His attitude and demeanor alone far surpass Yan Cheng's.

Moreover, in this Kung Fu Hustle, his injuries had already recovered to about Qiqi.

Ninth Pin Grandmaster naturally possesses remarkable recovery abilities.

"I can give you the Dipper-Sealing Pill, but why should I give it to you?" Ling Yi said coldly.

Liu Xi immediately knelt down, prostrating himself completely, and loudly proclaimed, " Liu Xi is willing to die for Your Highness!"

Yan Cheng, who was standing beside him, immediately knelt down and said, " Your Yan Cheng will follow Your Highness's lead from this day forward."

"Help me enter the capital and seize the throne, will you?" Ling Yi looked at the two men and got straight to the point.

"We will Self-Sacrifice for this cause."

The slogans were well-received, and Ling Yi was quite satisfied. As for whether they were true or not, Ling Yi didn't care.

"Tell me about the situation in the capital," Ling Yi said.

Ling Yi really wasn't used to being called "I am the king."

He had referred to himself as "this king" a few times before, partly to indulge in his own words, and partly to convey his attitude to Liu Xi and Yan Cheng.

"Your Highness, in the capital, the Crown Prince basically controls the court, and the Emperor... Liu Jin's health is deteriorating, and he can only hold on for another six months at most. Only if Your Highness overthrows the Crown Prince within six months will you have a chance to enter the capital."

This time, Yan Cheng was the first to speak.

"Ten years ago, Your Highness was harmed by the Crown Prince in collusion with the Ten Thousand Gu Sect. Back then, Your Highness had too few bargaining chips. If you had stayed in the capital, you would have been doomed."

" Aether Prince devised a plan, leaving the capital city and leaving behind a group of trusted confidants, including us. Only after paying a considerable price did he allow us to join the Black Guard. Now, the Black Guard is completely under our control."

"The evidence that the Crown Prince plotted against His Highness and framed His Highness for plotting against the Second Prince is in the hands of my Black Guard. We just need to hand it over to Liu Jin so that the Crown Prince can be deposed," Yan Cheng said excitedly.

Ling Yi shook his head. "Is that all? This is far from enough. Let alone overthrowing the Crown Prince, it will most likely have no effect whatsoever."

"Why?" Yan Cheng asked, puzzled.

"The Crown Prince's reputation is a matter of national honor. Now that he has gained power, it won't be easy to replace him. If I were Liu Jin, I would most likely suppress or even destroy this evidence."

The imperial family is the most Emotionless; how could the emperor's successor be a despicable villain who quarrels with his brothers?

Unless the emperor had long been dissatisfied with the crown prince.

Another point is that, judging from the Simulation bullet comments just now, Emperor Liu Jin is definitely not completely ignorant.

It's even quite possible that Liu Jin was fully aware of the power struggle between the eldest prince and the third prince.

Including Liu Qi's framing, Liu Zheng had long ago taken control of the Black Guard's affairs.

In the previous Simulation bullet comments, even though the crown prince was deposed, the one who ultimately seized the throne was not the third prince Liu Zheng, but the fourth prince, Liu Yan, who was only twelve years old.

In other words, Liu Jin was very dissatisfied with both the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, and he allowed them to fight each other to the death, ultimately resulting in both of them being severely injured, which allowed the Fourth Prince to take the throne.

In a previous Simulation bullet screen scenario, the one involving Hua Sister Yun, the final outcome was that the Crown Prince was deposed and the Third Prince was banished from the capital and never allowed to enter again.

Ultimately, the position of crown prince was indeed given to the 12-year-old fourth prince Liu Yan.

The crown prince may seem to wield immense power by gathering influence from various factions within the court, but once he loses his crown prince status, all that he has gained will vanish into thin air.

The Third Prince took an unconventional approach, using Liu Xi to control the inner court and Yan Cheng to control the royal Imperial Guard, yet he held no real power in the empire whatsoever.

Ascending to that throne is no easy feat.

In Ling Yi's view, all of this was meaningless; absolute strength was far more straightforward.

Take the Hao Ran Sword School for example. They can ride roughshod over the emperor, extorting protection money, and easily decide who sits on the throne. Why?

Because of strength.

If Ling Yi possesses invincible strength, then if he says he wants to sit on the throne, who will agree and who will oppose him?

"You two go back first, bring the Third Prince here and place him with me. Then wait for the imperial decree from the capital. We'll discuss everything once we're inside the capital," Ling Yi Human Dao.

"Your Highness, shouldn't we just kill that person? Keeping him alive might cause trouble," Liu Xi said at this moment.

Ling Yi glanced at the eunuch. "Damn, you're really ruthless! Didn't you say you'd follow the Third Prince? You betrayed him so easily, and not only that, you even killed him?"

That eunuch was truly ruthless and heartless.

"Keep him around; he might be useful in the future. He's always wanted me to be his Shadow, so let him be my Shadow from now on."

Keeping the Third Prince around is still useful; he's a super useful tool for gaining Karmic Luck Points. It's such a pity to kill him off like this.

Of all the people Ling Yi has seen so far, Liu Zheng has the highest Karmic Luck.

If Ling Yi wore this Liu Zheng every day, it would probably bring him tens of thousands of Karmic Luck Points daily, right?

I've used up all three Simulation today, including two skips.

It can no longer Simulation.

Looking at the system interface, Ling Yi saw that he still had a little over two thousand Karmic Luck Points left. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "System, purchase two storage spaces."

[Ding, would you like to spend 2000 Karmic Luck Points to purchase two storage spaces?]

"Buy!"

[Ding, purchase successful. Please select a storage location.]

Ling Yi directly chose his right hand and his heart.

In this way, Ling Yi now has three storage spaces.

The storage space in both hands, in particular, should give the enemy a pleasant surprise during Combat.

The next morning, when Ling Yi finished his cultivation, he saw Liu Xi, Yan Cheng, and the Third Prince Liu Zheng, who had been brought there wearing a mask, waiting in front of him.

"Third Prince, we meet again," Ling Yi said with a smile.

Liu Zheng couldn't Perception Aura emanating from Ling Yi; to him, Ling Yi still seemed like an ordinary person.

Just like when I first met Ling Yi.

"I never expected that your double would possess such strength. I misjudged you." Liu Zheng removed his mask and shook his head.

He would never believe that Ling Yi's strength had increased in just a few days, so he would only think that all of this was Ling Yi's doing.

He then added, "You think you can take my place on that throne? I'm afraid you won't succeed."

"Why do you say that? No one knows that I replaced you with my identity. I'll then kill both the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince. The position of Crown Prince, if not mine, will be mine."

"No, that's not what I meant. I meant the Hao Ran Sword School. You might not know, but the Hao Ran Sword School has requirements for those who ascend to the throne."

" Master and above are not allowed to become emperors. This is true not only in our Great Qian Empire, but also in other countries. This is the rule of those Immortal Gate, which has never been broken in thousands of years."

"Is that so?" Ling Yi frowned, looking at Liu Xi and Yan Cheng at the same time.

"They don't know that only members of the royal family can know this. If you investigate carefully, you'll find that in the more than a thousand years since the founding of the Great Qian Empire, has any emperor ever achieved the Master?"

"The imperial family has no shortage of cultivation techniques or resources. They may find it difficult to reach the Spirit Mastery Realm, but becoming Master or even Grandmaster is no problem. Otherwise, with my talent, I would have broken through to the Master Realm long ago."

"But I dare not break through, not even Lesser Master would dare to break through, I cannot break through!"

Liu Xi nodded and said, "It seems that's indeed the case. No emperor of the Great Qian Empire throughout history has ever been able to become Master. This old servant originally thought it was a royal curse, but I never expected it to be that the Immortal Gate don't allow it."

Ling Yi ignored Liu Xi and instead looked at Liu Zheng, asking, "What would happen if the emperor broke through to the Master Realm?"

Liu Zheng shook his head and said, "Before breaking through to the Master, one will choose to retire. Martial Practitioner who wants to break through to the Master must do so before the age of forty. After forty, one's Qi and Blood begins to decline, and there will be no chance to break through then."

"But for most emperors, although they may not be able to break through to the Master, they are still Martial Practitioner in their prime. Who would be willing to abdicate and pursue the Void Immortal Path of Martial Dao the Ethereal?"

"Why doesn't the Hao Ran Sword School allow emperors to break through to the Master?" Ling Yi asked again.

"Because they fear that the emperor possesses the National Fortune Dragon Qi, and once he breaks through to the Master level, with the support of Spiritual Power, this National Fortune Dragon Qi will Intangibility, making his strength comparable to that of the Spirit Mastery Realm."

"The stronger the National Fortune, the Wang Yue its emperor." That's where it all comes in.

Ling Yi stroked his chin and said, "So, the Hao Ran Sword School is afraid of the emperor becoming Master, right?"
