"This young alchemist named Ye Chen really refined an emperor-level elixir?"
After hearing the news from the servant, the third prince Nangong Xiao suddenly jumped up with excitement, "With such a magical alchemy skill, if he can help me refine a Jade Girl Pill..."
"Third brother, you are simply incorrigible and can't stop eating shit!"
Before Nangong's joke was finished, a woman's angry scolding came from the side, "Can you stop focusing on women all the time?"
"Sister, I, I... I just said it casually, don't take it seriously!"
Nangong Xiao smiled coquettishly.
The one who scolded him just now was none other than the current eldest princess of the Yong'an Empire, Nangong Zhenpu.
It can be said that the fact that he, the third prince, can participate in the competition for the throne and can still compete with several other princes until now is all thanks to his sister.
If it weren't for his sister who has been secretly running the business for many years and has been supporting her wholeheartedly, he would have been like a lost dog.
He might even have died in some unknown stinking ditch.
"With such an astonishing genius, all you ever thought of was asking him to help you refine an improper elixir. What dirty thoughts have you been thinking about all day long?"
The eldest princess Nangong Zhenpu scolded her with hatred.
"Sister, I know I was wrong!"
Nangong Xiao apologized repeatedly, "Then tell me, how should we handle this matter?"
Nangong Zhenpu did not dwell on the issue just now. She pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Since this Ye Chen has been rejected by the Imperial Master's Office, presumably he has not been accepted by other princes yet, so we must hurry up.
Snare him before other princes find him!"
"But where can I find him?"
Nangong Xiao frowned and said, "According to the information from my servants, no one knows where Ye Chen is at the moment!"
"We can only send as many people as possible to search!"
Nangong Zhenpu sighed: "If we can capture such a talented alchemist who has not been seen in a century, he will not only be more powerful for us, but we can even use him to force the Imperial Prefect's Palace to our side!
"
"This kid named Ye Chen really has such a strong appeal?"
Nangong Xiao was a little surprised.
"Huh, these are just two of the benefits. If you can really bring this kind of peerless genius under your command, there will be more benefits than you can imagine!"
Nangong Zhenpu snorted coldly.
"Like what else?"
Nangong Xiao asked curiously.
"For example, with his reputation, there must be countless warriors from all walks of life who want to refine elixirs. With just one word from him, he can summon countless powerful forces to work for us!"
After a pause, Nangong Zhenpu added: "In addition, our own warriors will definitely be the first batch of beneficiaries. After taking the elixir he refined, their overall strength will definitely be greatly improved!"
…
The General's Mansion.
"Father-in-law, have you heard about what happened near the Imperial Prefect's Mansion today?"
As soon as they arrived at the General's Mansion, the fourth prince Nangong Yuan couldn't wait to say: "A young alchemist named Ye Chen actually refined an emperor-level elixir in front of everyone!"
"Well, I heard about it too!"
General Long Guangzheng nodded, "Such a wizard in refining medicine is really rare to see in a hundred years.
Especially, I heard that he is only in his early twenties. Over time, his achievements in alchemy will be unimaginable!"
"Then, father-in-law, do you have any thoughts about this person?"
Nangong originally meant something.
"I really want to bring him under my command, but unfortunately I can't find this person's whereabouts!"
Long Guangzheng smiled bitterly.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's quickly send people out to search for it!"
Nangong Yuan said anxiously: "Now that we have received the news, I think my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother should also go out to manpower. We must not let them get there first, otherwise with Ye Chen's appeal, once they get it, it will be a big blow to them."
We will be a huge threat!"
…
Imperial Prefecture.
"Asshole, absolutely bastard!"
After listening to the report from his servants about the medicine refining competition held in the outdoor square not long ago, and the humiliation that happened when Ye Chen came to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, Imperial Preceptor Zhang Tianyi suddenly became furious and his old face was so livid that green juice was about to drip out.
As if he felt that a few curses were not enough to relieve his anger, he waved his sleeves and ordered the servants who came to report: "Go and find those blind guards. I will skin them with my own hands."
, take out every muscle in their bodies!”
"Master Imperial Master, please calm down!"
The servant who came to report said sarcastically: "Ye Chen is missing now. The top priority is to find him first!"
"Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and find someone!"
Zhang Tian was furious, "If Ye Chen is not found, starting from today, the salaries of all the alchemists in the entire Imperial Prefecture will be halved!"
"Yes, yes, I will send everyone out to search for it now!"
The servant responded several times and retreated as if fleeing.
"And you, why are you still here? Didn't you hear what I just said?"
Zhang Tianyi's eyes turned to the other guards, "Go and find those idiots for me. I must ask myself how stupid they are to kill Ye Chen, a rare alchemy genius who has not been seen in a century."
He turned them away and spoke rudely to them!"
"Yes, Master Imperial Master, please wait a moment. I'll go and bring those bastards from that room!"
The guards were so frightened that they hurried down to arrest them.
"Emperor level elixir!"
"If this group of bastards who fail to accomplish anything and fail more than they should miss out on such a rare alchemy genius, it will not only be a lifelong regret for me, but it will also cause the Imperial Master's Office to miss the opportunity to regain its glory, and it will also be a major jeopardy for the entire empire.
loss!"
After all the surrounding guards retreated, Zhang Tianyi said sadly.
Soon after, several guards were brought in.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
Before Zhang Tianyi started to hold him accountable, several guards were so frightened that they fell to their knees.
"Master Imperial Master, I know I was wrong!"
"The villain is blind, but he still expects the adults to be considerate!"
"You don't even know that this young man is a genius in refining medicine!"
"I am dedicated to serving the Imperial Prefecture, so I will strictly perform my duties. It is really not intentional!"
Seeing that Zhang Tianyi's expression still showed no signs of softening, one of the guards had an idea and said: "Master Imperial Master, it's not that we deliberately made things difficult for that Ye Chen, but that Ye Chen didn't even pay attention to Master Lin.
The villain was really angry, so he reasoned with the other party!"
Another guard echoed: "Yes, we have never known that Ye Chen. Seeing Master Lin being humiliated, how can we, as guards of the Imperial Prefecture, just sit idly by and watch?"
Another guard added: "By the way, the ones who really want to attack Ye Chen are Master Lin's pharmacists, not us!"
Afraid that Zhang Tianyi would not believe it, several guards recounted the detailed story again.
After hearing this, Zhang Tianyi suddenly became furious and said, "What a great Lin Jingnian. Instead of practicing alchemy, his disciples have learned the essence of flattery and bullying!"
Immediately, he waved his hand and said, "Bring Zhang Tianyi to me immediately!"
