"My lords, it's boring to drink alone. It happened that the satin fruit tree in the royal family was ripe yesterday. Let's all taste the satin fruit together."
There is a satin fruit tree in the Liuyun Imperial Palace. It can be regarded as a fourth-level spiritual plant. It is said that it was planted by the founding emperor of the Liuyun Empire. After many years, it has not withered but has continued to grow under the care of the Liuyun Imperial Family.
It has lush leaves and will bear fruit once every ten years. The fruits on the fruit tree can increase your cultivation when taken. It is also a very rare material for body training. Taking it alone is equivalent to a good fourth-level elixir.
However, one characteristic of the satin fruit tree is that it can only be taken once every ten years, and only this time will it have an effect. Otherwise, no matter how much you eat, it will be useless. But the satin fruit tree in the royal family of the Liuyun Empire will bear fruit every time.
Quite a few, hundreds of them.
Because of this, every ten years when the satin fruit trees mature, the royal family of Liuyun Empire will distribute the excess satin fruit to some aristocratic families as a favor.
Hearing that they could still taste the Satin Fruit, everyone present became excited and even looked away from Dongfang Yucheng and Jiang Chen who were fighting fiercely in the ring.
Soon, a group of beautiful maids in pale pink dresses filed in carrying trays. Naturally, almost every member of the Eastern royal family received a lot, and each of the seven families with five surnames also received a lot. In addition, the three
Naturally, the Grand Guild cannot neglect it.
For other family forces, the number was determined based on the size of the force. The division of the results also vaguely revealed the status of each force in Liuyun City. For a while, the atmosphere in the hall became a little subtle, but there was no one there.
I dare to say that the division of the Eastern Royal Family is wrong.
As a candidate to represent the Liuyun Empire in the Alchemist Genius Conference, Chu Ye was naturally assigned a satin fruit. This fruit was about the size of a fist and was red in color, but it was covered with dense spikes.
He stretched out his hand and gently smacked the satin fruit, and immediately felt a stinging pain on his fingertips. If Chu Ye hadn't quickly taken his hand back, Chu Ye's hand would have been pricked by the sharp thorns outside.
Sure enough, it was sharp enough. Chu Ye nodded secretly. Thinking that the spikes on the outside of the satin fruit were so sharp, he thought it should have achieved its purpose at this moment.
…
…
"Fifth brother, I think you liked the satin fruit the most at the beginning. Maybe it has been a long time since you and I have been together like this and tasted the taste of the satin fruit."
Dongfang Xingping glanced at Dongfang Xingbang and said with some nostalgia.
Dongfang Xingbang, who had always been expressionless and not paying attention to the surrounding situation, heard a flash of nostalgia in his eyes, but then he closed his eyes slightly to block the light in his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, it was clear.
"Yes, I think that the ninth brother also liked the satin fruit very much, but he only got one every ten years. In order to be late for the satin fruit in advance, the ninth brother went to the inner court to climb books and pick the fruit, but his father caught him and punished him severely.
After a while.”
The ninth brother mentioned by Dongfang Xingbang is Old King De. When Dongfang Xingbang mentioned Old King De, His Majesty the Emperor was also a little distracted, "Yes, the ninth brother was still young at that time and was punished by his father to kneel in the ancestral hall.
You and I even went to the ancestral hall at night to accompany him, but we were caught and severely punished by our father."
"Brother, you are the prince. My father punished you to practice a Xuan-level martial arts within a month. Although it is a punishment, it is also a training for you. But I... was punished by my father and was banned for a month. During this period, I only have one shot per day.
There were so many grains of rice in the bowl of porridge. From then on, whenever I saw the porridge, I would think of how cold and hungry I felt back then, and I wished I could..."
This was the first time that Dongfang Xingping heard King Qin talk about the story behind that incident. It turned out that this was what happened to King Qin when he was practicing martial arts hard.
A trace of unbearability flashed in his heart, but when he thought of King De who died young, the unbearable feeling in Dongfang Xingping's eyebrows immediately dissipated, and he stretched out his hand to tap the satin fruit in front of him.
"I think my father was also a test for you at the beginning, so of course he had his intentions. Now let's enjoy the fruits first!"
"Tsk..." King Qin sneered, and without saying anything else, he reached out and took the satin fruit in front of him.
However, probably because he thought of the past days in his mind, King Qin was a little dazed for a moment. He could not control the strength of his hand well. The sharp thorns on the satin fruit immediately pierced the fingertips, and the bright red blood dripped down and fell on it.
In the wine glass in front of him.
Dongfang Xingbang didn't pay attention. With the movement of his spiritual power, the small wound on his finger immediately recovered as before. As for the wine glass contaminated by blood, it was immediately cleaned up by the little maid on the side.
…
…
In the palace, a girl wearing a light pink dress was walking quickly through the long corridor, turned around and entered a palace.
"Princess, the blood has been collected!"
This pale pink dress is exactly the little maid who served King Qin before. At this moment, the little maid is walking in quickly holding a wine glass with both hands.
"Good Ronger, well done, I'll give you a big credit later!"
The one who was called princess was naturally Dongfang Yao. She took the wine glass from the maid's hand and confirmed that there was indeed a drop of blood in it, and immediately passed it to the young man wearing a white alchemist's robe next to her.
"Chu Ye, Uncle Qin's blood has been collected. Are you sure?"
Chu Ye had left the main hall unknowingly and was taken to her palace by Dongfang Yao. Also coming with him were Zhuge Zhenghao, and of course Dongfang Jungui, who had been placed here earlier.
"If you want to completely cure His Highness Prince De's plague of voodoo insects, you must have the blood of the mother voodoo owner. Now that the most likely human blood has arrived, I naturally have to try it."
"But according to the method you said, if Uncle Qin is not the owner of the mother voodoo but unlocks the ice seal, wouldn't the voodoo immediately enter King De's brain? This is equivalent to making a bet with King De's life.
,you……"
"Princess!" Chu Ye interrupted Dongfang Yao, "If you want to save King De, you don't need to talk nonsense. Since His Majesty the Emperor and Chairman Zhuge also think that King Qin is suspicious and support us to get the blood, we should try it.
Otherwise, it is just to buy King De for a few days without consciousness. I think if King De wakes up, he may be willing to take a chance instead of waiting in vain."
Dongfang Yao took two steps back silently. In fact, she blocked Chu Ye more because she didn't want to believe that King Qin was probably the one who harmed Uncle Dewang and Dongfang Jungui.
But Chu Ye was right. If Dongfang Jungui had consciousness, he would definitely be willing to try it instead of giving up directly.
Without Dongfang Yao's obstruction, Chu Ye directly dripped the blood from the wine glass into the medicine that had been mixed. At the same time, he nodded to the gray-robed martial arts master who had been waiting quietly beside him, "Senior, please.
