Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

"What a wonderful method to achieve immortality!" the prince exclaimed.

He and Ying Yufu buried themselves in the book of "The Art of Longevity," and sure enough, it recorded some methods for refining elixirs.

However, the raw materials for alchemy were all extremely vicious.

After the fall of the previous dynasty, Bei Xuan had already made it public that all the toxic raw materials used in alchemy were listed as prohibited items.

"Silver Flower Seed, what is this?" the prince asked in confusion.

They had all heard of things like Yuan Shui (a type of mineral), sulfur, cinnabar, and realgar, but what was Yin Hua Zi (a type of mineral)?

Ying Yufu was also quite curious.

The Mu family's business interests spanned all corners of the country, including some overseas locations.

She has indeed seen quite a few strange and unusual things.

But this was the first time she had ever heard of silver flower seeds.

The little madman perched on her shoulder tilted its head, a hint of curiosity appearing in its eyes, and then a flash of silver light appeared in its eyes.

Xiao Long, who was standing to the side, glanced at it and his eyes lit up immediately.

[Ding! System check reveals this is nanocrystal, an extremely rare energy material. The energy within the nanocrystal can be crucial for the system.]

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince were both shocked. This so-called "Silver Flower Seed" was actually so precious?

Xiao Dian said: "Oh dear, no wonder the fish and shrimp in Anzhou Fishing Lake keep dying and multiplying. They mixed Na Jing into the pills, so it's bound to cause trouble."

The energy within nanocrystals has an extremely small effect on ordinary organisms, and is more harmful than beneficial.

However, the energy within nanocrystals can indeed make one feel mentally energized for a short period, but excessive use will erode some functions of the normal human body, and who knows what kind of monster it might turn into.

Meng Wanli looked at Xiao Dian in surprise.

"This parrot..."

This parrot is actually psychic?

Most parrots can talk, but none are as articulate and eloquent as this one.

"This is my divine bird," Ying Yufu said.

Meng Wanli immediately understood. No wonder, Princess Anguo's reputation as a goddess was indeed well-deserved!

Even her birds are extraordinary.

But does it mean that the nanocrystals it refers to are silver flower seeds?

Xiao Long then added, "It's right, those silver flowers are indeed nano crystals."

【Host, it seems that your world actually has nanocrystals. You must find these nanocrystals, as they will only bring you harm and no benefit.】

But it's a good thing for the system.

Xiao Long communicated with the Crown Prince in his mind.

Xiao Dian said: [That's right, host, you and the Crown Prince must find those Na Crystals.]

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince exchanged a glance.

The Crown Prince asked Meng Wanli, "Have you seen this silver flower pattern before?"

Meng Wanli shook her head: "I've never seen it."

Ying Yufu asked, "Miss Meng, did your grandfather and your second uncle refine these longevity pills for their own consumption?"

They had stopped the Meng family's convoy on the road earlier, but she hadn't noticed that Meng Huaran showed any signs of taking medication.

So why did he make this kind of medicine?

Meng Wanli shook her head again: "It seems he didn't eat it himself. He refined this longevity pill and it seems he offered it to some important person."

Last winter, my second aunt made things difficult for me and forced me to kneel in the snow at night. When I fainted, I saw my grandfather and second uncle hand a package to a dark figure, who then took the package and left.

I'm not sure who the shadowy figure was, but my grandfather and second uncle looked nervous and were glancing around. What they gave away must have been something extraordinary.

I vaguely heard the dark figure say something about "My lord" and being very satisfied.

Ying Yufu and the others fell into deep thought.

Wushuang said, "If that's the case, the Meng family is probably refining this kind of pill for their 'master'."

The Crown Prince said, "Fu'er, in the next few days, have the Flying Tiger Army keep an eye on Mingzhiyuan and the Meng residence."

Ying Yufu immediately understood and nodded, saying, "Okay."

The Crown Prince said, "Miss Meng, it seems that the secrets of the Meng family are very complicated. Perhaps the deaths of your parents are indeed as you say, with other suspicious circumstances."

But this matter can't be rushed; we have to investigate step by step.

Meng Wanli's face immediately lit up with excitement; His Highness the Crown Prince had agreed!

"Thank you, Your Highness! Your Highness is wise!"

She then knelt down.

Ying Yufu helped her up and said, "Miss Meng, please come with us. This is not a place to stay for long."

Meng Wanli nodded, tears welling in her eyes.

The guard outside the woodshed fainted, and Meng Wanli and her maid Xiang'er disappeared from the Meng residence.

The guards outside discovered that Meng Wanli and Xiang'er were missing the next morning after they woke up.

Guard A said, "Yesterday I heard heart-wrenching crying inside; I guess the young lady has died."

Guard B said, "Let's go in and collect the body."

As the two yawned, they opened the door to the woodshed. The empty woodshed was filled with only fine dust floating in the air.

A deathly silence.

The two guards' eyes widened instantly. Where was he?

Early in the morning, Ming Zhiyuan received news of Meng Wanli's disappearance, and his expression changed drastically.

"What? They're missing? A sickly young lady who's on her deathbed, and a little maid, how could they just disappear?"

What are the people guarding them doing?

The guard knelt outside, his face pale and trembling.

They've made a huge mistake.

The subordinate approached Ming Zhiyuan and whispered, "Sir, those two frail, sickly women couldn't have run away on their own. Someone must have helped them!"

Akira looked at his subordinate, his eyes narrowing slightly. "That's right, they couldn't have escaped on their own. So tell me, who helped them?"

The subordinate frowned in thought and asked, "Does Your Excellency know if Meng Wanli has any close friends? Or rather, do Meng Wanli's parents have any old acquaintances?"

Akinohara's pupils constricted slightly. If what my subordinate said is true, then it's not surprising.

The subordinate said, "My lord, the most urgent thing is to write to Lord Meng. They know best about Meng Wanli's parents."

Akira sighed, "That's all we can do for now. However, we must also conduct a thorough search for any suspicious individuals."

The person who rescued Meng Wanli will definitely take her to hide or leave the city. You must seal the city gates and conduct a thorough search; don't let a single fly escape.

"Rest assured, sir, I will take care of it immediately."

"Wait," Mingzhiyuan called out to him, "You must not offend the Crown Prince of Qinjiang. Tonight, I will be hosting a banquet to entertain the Crown Prince of Qinjiang."

The subordinate replied, "Don't worry, sir."

As Ming Zhiyuan watched his subordinate leave, his eyes gleamed. This was an excellent opportunity to establish a connection with the Qinjiang Prince's Mansion.

He has to catch him.

The Prince of Qinjiang is His Majesty's cousin and also his savior. In Qinjiang, the Prince of Qinjiang is practically a local emperor, and the Prince of Qinjiang's mansion is a powerful asset.

In the Tongfu Inn, Ying Yufu looked at Meng Wanli, who had just taken a bath and tidied herself up. The girl was beautiful, and although she was a bit thin, she looked great after taking the Life Essence Elixir.

My cousin is in luck.

Just then, Chong'er came over and said, "Princess, Miss Zhuang has woken up."
