I can only beat noobs.

Chapter 321 Divine Treasure
Outside the south gate, a day and a night passed, and the few attendants from Yujin City remained in place. One of them looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost time."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure appeared out of thin air—it was their young master, Yu Jincheng.

Huh?
The attendants were somewhat surprised and suspicious. The time hadn't come yet, so why had the young master come out early?
Then Yu Jincheng suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Son!"

The elderly man at the head of the group appeared beside him in a flash and helped him up. "Are you alright?"

Yu Jincheng gritted his teeth, his face full of resentment, "Kill that guy for me, I want him dead."

At this moment, the attendants realized what had happened and were all horrified.

The young master was actually killed by someone in the secret realm?
How can this be?

With the young master's strength and the Emperor Sun Blade in hand, he should be no match for the other six even if they joined forces.

In the secret realm, death is not real. The instant one is killed, one returns to reality, but at the cost of significant injury; the stronger one is, the more severe the injury.

Moreover, from then on, it was impossible to enter that secret realm again.

Therefore, entering the secret realm to search for rare treasures is actually very safe, and there is no danger to one's life.

This is also what makes the secret realm unique.

The old man advised, "Young master, why don't you go back first and take good care of your injuries to avoid future troubles?"

"No, I want you to kill him." Yu Jincheng couldn't accept his defeat; the murderous intent in his eyes distorted his face. "That's an order!"

At this moment, several figures appeared out of thin air; they were the other six people.

Apart from Chen Ming, the other five people immediately understood what had happened upon seeing this scene. Their faces were filled with surprise and doubt, and their gazes fell on Chen Ming with disbelief.

Who exactly is this person? How did he manage to steal the "Heart of the Blood Moon" from Yu Du City?
Where did such a powerful person come from?
Chen Ming ignored them and vanished from the spot in a flash.

The old man didn't give chase, not only because the South Gate was nearby, and the guards were watching their direction. More importantly, the black-robed man's "slot" came from the Six Doors.

Within the capital, he assassinated a master of the Six Doors. Even a young master like himself couldn't withstand the wrath of the Six Doors. That Hall Master Hong is not someone to be trifled with.

……

Chen Ming returned to the Prince's Mansion, entered his room, and closed the door. He took out the tortoise shell and entered "Qingwei Heaven".

"Finally we've come this far."

He took out the "Heart of the Blood Moon," and his thoughts surged. Several years had passed since he transmigrated, and he had gradually risen from a prisoner to where he was today, about to unlock the divine treasure and become the unparalleled powerhouse he once could not reach.

Only he knows how many hardships he went through in between.

"bring it on!"

Chen Ming took a deep breath and slowly poured all his vital energy into the "Heart of the Blood Moon".

Each of the "treasures of heaven and earth" from the secret realm has a different method of refining. As a top-grade material, the "Heart of the Blood Moon" is very easy to refine by injecting vital energy into it.

As more and more vital energy was poured in, the "Heart of the Blood Moon" began to glow, growing brighter and brighter until finally it began to melt, turning into a ball of liquid glowing red.

Once it turned into a liquid, it began to seep into his body little by little, and then transformed his body.

This process takes at least several days. The higher the level of the rare item, the longer it takes to open the divine treasure.

This is a transformation process, akin to a complete metamorphosis, allowing the body to undergo a metamorphosis.

This process is by no means pleasant; it requires enduring considerable pain.

……

Half a month later.

“Miss Jiang, the Prince is currently in seclusion and cannot receive guests. Please return home,” said an old eunuch, the steward of the Prince’s residence, politely.

Dressed in green, Jiang Yingxue carried a bundle on her back and held a sword in one hand, sitting there and refusing to leave. She stubbornly said, "It's alright, I'll wait for him here. Until he comes out of seclusion. Anyway, I have nowhere else to go."

As she spoke, her eyes reddened.

The old eunuch had a sharp eye; he could tell at a glance that this was most likely a result of the prince's romantic entanglements, and it wouldn't be right to actually kick the person out.

He couldn't bear the consequences if the prince blamed him.

"In that case, how about we arrange a guest room for the young lady to stay in for the time being?"

Jiang Yingxue nodded silently.

She ran away from home and came to the capital alone to find Chen Ming.

She was probably the only one who knew that Gu Xianyu was Chen Ming, so when she learned that Gu Xianyu had become the Prince of Linjiang and was engaged to Xia Mudan from the Money Gang, she felt like the sky had fallen.

Where did this summer peony come from?
For her, the person who could marry Chen Ming could be Yu Haitang, Su Zhining, or even Zhao Xiyan. But who is Xia Mudan?

She couldn't accept it.

A month ago, Jiang Yingxue finally found an opportunity to sneak out and came to the capital alone, directly to the Linjiang Prince's Mansion.

On the way to the guest room, she suddenly asked, "How did he and that Miss Xia meet?"

"This old servant does not know. If you want to know, young lady, you might as well ask the prince yourself after he comes out of seclusion."

Just as the old eunuch finished speaking, a servant rushed in to report, "The Princess Consort has arrived."

princess?

Jiang Yingxue stopped in her tracks, abruptly turned around, and glared angrily at the servant. "What princess? She's not even married yet."

The old eunuch was a bit of a headache. Why did the princess have to come at this time? This was going to be troublesome.

He instructed, "Please take this Miss Jiang to the guest room first."

Then he left. The prince was in seclusion, so he naturally had to personally receive his future princess. In the same main hall, the old eunuch saw Xia Mudan. She was wearing a red palace dress and was truly a beauty of unparalleled grace.

She immediately asked, "Eunuch Wang, is Master Gu still in seclusion?"

"Your Highness, the Prince has not yet emerged from seclusion."

A few days ago, an imperial edict was issued, bestowing upon Xia Mudan the title of Princess. She is the daughter of a different surname from the Prince of Yan, and naturally, she received this honor because of the Prince.

Did he say when he would be released from quarantine?

"His Highness only said it would take three to five days at the shortest, and ten days at the longest. Now half a month has passed. Judging by the time, it should be almost over."

Xia Mudan was immediately displeased. Ever since the emperor bestowed a marriage upon her, her mother had forbidden her from visiting Gu Xianyu and had her wait patiently to marry into the royal family.

Just when the wedding date was approaching, an unexpected event occurred, and the wedding was postponed.

She hadn't seen her lover for six months, and her heart was filled with longing. She couldn't resist sneaking over today. She didn't dare let her mother know.

In the end, I still didn't see anyone, and I couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"You are Xia Mudan?"

Suddenly, a young woman walked in from outside, looking at her with hostile eyes.

Xia Mudan looked at her with a puzzled expression, "And who is this?"

Eunuch Wang explained, "This is Miss Jiang, who claims to be an old acquaintance of the Prince. She suddenly came to our door today."

Xia Mudan was incredibly clever. Just by looking into her eyes, she guessed what was going on and said, "So you're an old acquaintance of the Prince. May I ask how you two met?"

Jiang Yingxue snorted and said in a slightly sour tone, "When I met him, you were still a nobody."

No matter how unwilling she was, she had to admit in her heart that Xia Mudan, who was listed on the list of beauties, was indeed a peerless beauty, no less than Yu Haitang.

"Oh?"

As the betrothed of the Prince of Linjiang, Xia Mudan, whose marriage was bestowed by the emperor, naturally had the upper hand in terms of mindset, and said, "How come I've never heard the prince mention you?"

Jiang Yingxue sneered, "There are many things you don't know."

Seeing the two women locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to back down, Eunuch Wang felt a bit of a headache. He had no experience with this kind of situation.

Within the palace, even if the concubines were vying for the emperor's favor, no matter how much they schemed and plotted against each other, they would never make it public.

Suddenly, he sensed something and exclaimed joyfully, "The Prince has emerged from seclusion!"

"Really?"

"Great."

Both women looked on with surprise and exclaimed, then exchanged a glance, their smiles vanishing simultaneously.

At that moment, a tall figure walked in from outside; it was Chen Ming.

"Brother Chen!"

"Gu Lang!"

The two women cried out at the same time, one with a wronged expression and the other with surprise.

……

Chen Ming looked at the two women, feeling a bit of a headache, but his face remained expressionless. He simply glared at Jiang Yingxue, telling her to watch her manners.

Jiang Yingxue pouted, lowered her head and stopped looking at him, instead studying the toes of her shoes.

"How did you come."

He walked over and asked Xia Mudan first.

Xia Mudan's eyes were filled with tenderness. "I've come to see you."

Chen Ming said, "Okay, why don't you go inside and sit for a while? I have something to talk to her about."

"Okay." Xia Mudan didn't ask any more questions and went into the backyard.

Chen Ming waved his hand, dismissing everyone else, before asking Jiang Yingxue, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Yingxue pouted, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face. "If I hadn't come, you would have married someone else."

"That was a marriage bestowed by the emperor."

"This tyrannical emperor is setting up marriages haphazardly."

"Alright, that's fine if you say it to me. But don't go saying it outside," Chen Ming warned. "Did you sneak out by yourself?"

"You said you'd come back to me. You broke your promise." Jiang Yingxue became more and more agitated as she spoke. "Now you're about to marry another woman, and you think I'm a burden, right? You think I'm getting in your way, right?"

Chen Ming said, "It was Gu Xianyu who got married, not me, Chen Ming. By the way, how did you know about my identity?"

“I guessed,” Jiang Yingxue said.

Since she knew Chen Ming was skilled in disguise and could even convincingly impersonate a woman, she soon heard about the legendary deeds of the Prince of Linjiang. Comparing the timeline, she easily guessed his identity.

After all, she went in with the answer already in mind when she started guessing.

Then, Jiang Yingxue added, "Then you're not allowed to actually marry her."

Chen Ming did not answer directly, but said, "I have good news for you, I have already reached the Divine Treasure Realm."

"Really?"

Jiang Yingxue was overjoyed.
