The Eternal World

"This commoner pays his respects to His Royal Highness the First Prince!" Zhang Chao pretended to walk up to them and cupped his fists towards the First Prince. However, he immediately followed up with a look of shock and said, "Eh? Your Highness, this is … What kind of cultivation technique was this? Why does it feel like my whole body is being cooked? "

"It's not like … "That's right …" The First Prince almost vomited a mouthful of blood as he said gloomily, "I don't know why this prince went out to hunt, but he became like this after just setting up camp at the foot of the mountain and sleeping for an entire night …"

"After staying for an entire night, he became like this?" Zhang Chao raised an eyebrow, and then guessed for a moment: "What are you doing … I've been infected with the hidden poison! "

"Dark Poison? Your Excellency can also tell … Was I poisoned by the hidden poison? " The First Prince's heart jolted and he asked excitedly.

"En!" Zhang Chao directly repeated what the imperial physician had said before, adding fuel to the fire.

"Imperial Physician, he's actually exactly the same as you described!" The First Prince stared wide-eyed.

However, the imperial physician had checked his pulse, and Zhang Chao had only glanced at him, he had not touched him at all!

"Since you were able to see through my His Royal Highness the First Prince's illness, is there any way to cure it?" the imperial physician quickly asked.

"Healing? Hmm... It's not like there's no other way, but it's a little complicated … " Zhang Chao would also not act as if he could directly cure the First Prince's illness. That would be too fake, and would cause others to suspect that the poison in the First Prince was related to him.

He rubbed his chin awkwardly, "After all, this poison is too strange, and I've never seen it before. If I want to cure it completely, I'll need some time to study it!"

"A period of research?" You can't not see that, the life of the First Prince … " the doctor asked anxiously.

"Mmm mmm, I can tell that he won't be able to live for long!" Zhang Chao waved his hand: "If it wasn't for you holding on, I reckon you would have died two hours ago!"

When the nearby guards heard this, their faces all darkened.

This fellow's words were truly unpleasant to hear...

He was the First Prince of the Rushing Thunder Empire after all. At the very least, he had to pay attention to his words. What did he mean by 'have to die'?

"Don't worry, I do have a solution!" Zhang Chao waved his hand and took out an unassuming blue pellet, passing it to the First Prince. "Although this pellet will not completely solve the problem of the hidden poison in your body, it will at least be able to suppress your agitated anger!"

"This... "This pill..." The First Prince was so excited that he wanted to raise his hand to receive it, but when his hand touched the pill, he hesitated.

"His Royal Highness the First Prince, wait, this person's identity is unknown, this pill …." We can't just randomly eat them! " The guard next to him nervously reminded.

That's right, the First Prince was also worried about that.

"What is it? You don't trust me? "Whatever!" Zhang Chao said as he attempted to take the pill back.

"Your Highness, since His Majesty has yet to arrive, I can't hold on any longer …" The imperial physician was also worried, but there was nothing he could do. If this went on, his cultivation would be completely crippled, and the First Prince would die as well …

"Well, then. Let's give it a try! " The First Prince gritted his teeth and snatched the pill away, swallowing it into his stomach.

Soon after, a chill spread through his body, suppressing all of his anger to its lowest point.

"I... I'm fine? " The First Prince jolted and stood up.

"No, for the time being, it's just treating the symptoms and not the root of the illness!" Zhang Chao shook his head: "Just this Cold Heart Pill, at most it will be able to suppress your anger for a period of time, but sooner or later it will erupt again!"

"Like I said, if I want to be completely cured, I need to go through careful research!"

"Expert! He's definitely a pill master!" The First Prince was overjoyed.

"Your methods are indeed impressive, I just wonder if you can understand why His Royal Highness the First Prince was suddenly poisoned for no reason at all?" The imperial physician was also very surprised and couldn't help but ask.

"That's hard to say. This mountain is brimming with spirit energy, strange beasts and rare treasures everywhere. Logically speaking, it should be a Feng Shui treasure ground, but … As the saying goes, when things reach the extreme, they will turn from a yang to a yin state! " Zhang Chao stroked his beard, and said with an unperturbed expression: "But the specific reason, needs to be investigated carefully!"

Before he had said these words, Zhang Chao had already done something to the Hidden Lightning Mountain.

After all, if the show was to be done well, no one could question it.

That Ben Leizi, after all, was an existence of the domain of kingly dao s. It was said that he had the cultivation of an Overlord, so it was extremely easy for him to expose some of Ben Leizi's tricks.

After all, he was an expert who had lived for countless tens of thousands of years.

Thus, after Zhang Chao drugged the First Prince last night, he went into Hidden Lightning Mountain and tossed about for the entire night.

He first buried the An Realm's crystal stones into the ground. The power released by the An Realm's crystal stones had a repulsive effect with the Ping Realm's crystal pieces, which had a certain effect on the elemental energy field inside the mountain.

Thereafter, he set up a small-scaled formation under the First Prince's tent.

This formation was extremely well hidden, but it would draw all of the fire Attribute Power in the mountain downwards.

Although normal people would only get a little angry if they did that, and would never get into situations like the First Prince's. However, once the investigation was carried out, there was no way to truly rule out the reason.

Other than that, Zhang Chao had also done a few other things, causing the First Prince's illness to be difficult to uncover, even if it was an expert in the way of kings.

Even if he really wanted to find out, it would at least take a long time. At that time, Zhang Chao reckoned that he would have already left the Rushing Thunder City and wouldn't need to be afraid of that Ben Leizi at all.

"Alright, I am powerless to help with the remaining matters. I heard that Rushing Thunder City's Emperor Ben Leizi is also a pill master, and should be able to completely cure the hidden danger in His Royal Highness the First Prince's body!" Zhang Chao immediately waved his hand and said: "This humble one will take his leave first!"

"Wait, don't go yet!" The First Prince hurriedly stopped Zhang Chao. "If … What if royal father is also unable to solve the problem? "

"Ah?" If even His Majesty Ben Leizi is unable to solve the problem, then I'm afraid that this commoner is also helpless! " Zhang Chao acted like he was in a difficult situation.

"I say, it's better for you to stay put. After all, in this kind of place, your identity is extremely suspicious, and you're appearing at this crucial point. Who can be sure that the hidden poison in His Royal Highness the First Prince has nothing to do with you?" A black armored guard standing at the side spoke up, his body faintly emitting a trace of killing intent.

"Me?" Zhang Chao pointed to himself in disbelief, then laughed: "Haha, stop messing around, just how much guts do I have, daring to secretly harm the First Prince of the Rushing Thunder Empire?"

"Besides, what good is there in secretly harming him? "The gains don't make up the losses..."

"Although I am temporarily unable to guess your motives, you are currently the most suspicious, so …" I'll trouble you to come back with us! When I see the king, he will naturally decide whether you are innocent or not given his wisdom. " The black armored guard spoke in a muffled voice.

"Don't be disrespectful. Before all the evidence, this mister is still my savior!" Hearing this, the First Prince frowned and shouted at the black armored guards.

"Yes, this subordinate is rude!" The black-armored guard hurriedly lowered his head.

"Although you say so, your excellency, the words of my guard are not without reason, so … Could you please follow me back? " After careful deliberation, the First Prince said, "Moreover, if royal father is truly unable to refine a pill that can cure me completely, then I will have to trouble you to help me!"

"This …" Zhang Chao made a difficult expression.

"You can rest assured. This subordinate will vouch for you with my status as the First Prince of the Rushing Thunder Empire. This subordinate will definitely not make things difficult for you. I will even heavily reward you!" The First Prince continued to persuade him.

"Ai, alright, since Your Highness has already said so, then this commoner can only respectfully obey!" Zhang Chao sighed helplessly: "Who told this commoner to meddle in other people's business?"

However, although he said that, he was sneering in his heart.

In any case, his objective had been achieved.

The First Prince was no longer in the mood to hunt anymore. He led a group of guards and brought Zhang Chao back to Rushing Thunder City with great speed.

After entering the Rushing Thunder City, Zhang Chao naturally entered the imperial palace as well. He was temporarily arranged to stay in one of the wing rooms, and had many servants and guards guard the house.

But when the First Prince went to report to Ben Leizi and found out that his guards had not returned to report, he became curious and immediately sent people to look for the location of the guard.

At the same time, Zhang Chao was received by Ben Leizi.

… ….

Ben Leizi sat on the golden throne, exuding an imposing manner even though he was not angry.

His face was dark and he looked middle-aged. He wore a dragon robe and a jade crown. The majesty exuded from his body was enough to show that he had been living here for a long time.

"This commoner … Chao Ying … greets His Majesty!" Zhang Chao was too lazy to think of a name, since there were quite a few people who called out a single word, so he simply picked one of his names, and cupped his hands towards Ben Leizi.

"From what the kid said, it was you who saved him?" Ben Leizi nodded, he looked at Zhang Chao for a long time before asking.

"It was a coincidence!" Zhang Chao was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Very good, but. But I heard that you are temporarily staying in Hidden Lightning Mountain? " Ben Leizi asked again.

"That's right!" Zhang Chao then repeated his previous explanation.

Anyway, it's up to you whether or not you want to believe me.

Zhang Chao's attitude was very simple, this matter is not related to him at all, I just saved your son, you decide what you want to do!

Ben Leizi did understand the hidden poison in his words, and did not ask about the poison. After instructing the servants to give Zhang Chao a seat, he then said slowly: "You said that you were refining pills in Hidden Lightning Mountain, and that the pills that saved my child were pills that you had refined, I just do not know … Do you have any thoughts on how to fully understand the hidden poison in your child's body? "

Zhang Chao's heart moved upon hearing this, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly. It was as he had expected, this Ben Leizi was indeed not someone who was easy to deal with, his words were full of probing …
