Chapter 245: Chapter 106: Mysterious Forces, Prince Qing Returns Home
This implies... perhaps it’s not a disappearance, but rather an "isolation" of the area where the ox cart is located, a barrier against spiritual probing.
Li Xuan squinted, and the clues in his mind quickly connected.
He murmured, "Bronze Plain, mysterious marketplace, gold..."
He is not someone who likes to alert the enemy and has immense patience.
Since the twelve spiritual seeds he planted are gone, this matter is now at its end for him. He will not show face again, at least not in this matter.
He remembers clearly that in the mysterious marketplace of the Bronze Plain described by the Prime Minister, there were many people...
What kind of place would that be?
Demons?
Immortals?
Why do they need gold?
Many distracting thoughts flashed by, and Li Xuan temporarily suppressed them in his mind, then continued to carry out what he originally planned to do — creating a purple copper undershirt.
...
...
A month later...
Gold autumn October.
A beautiful purple silk garment appeared on Madam Tian’s desk at Prince Qing’s Mansion in Xiongshan County.
A month ago, her husband had unexpectedly sent back a large ore and repeatedly emphasized that it had to be kept to the utmost secrecy, and then a garment was to be made from it, without anyone knowing, not even the Prime Minister’s residence.
Thus, Tian Yuan did as instructed.
This purple copper, she had never seen before, and spinning it into silk to make clothing was extremely difficult.
But for some reason, her luck was particularly good this time, as if divinely assisted, allowing her to make such a purple copper silk garment.
However, if the previous "Golden Embroidery" was exquisite and luxurious, this "Purple Copper Silk Garment" was indeed rough.
Each thread was of varying thickness, woven together. It was more like a "coarse garment" than a "silk garment".
But this was the best Tian Yuan could achieve.
At this moment, she folded this purple copper coarse garment carefully into a clothing box, then delivered it to the designated place by her husband. When she returned, she saw her large-bodied son sitting dazedly on the couch.
Tian Yuan sat down, knowing well that her son understood nothing, and perhaps was even born with some mental issues, but she still lovingly took his little hand and smiled, "What are you thinking about?"
No answer.
Li Jin just sat there dazedly, with sallow skin, vacant eyes, and a massive body that was more than twice the size of a normal baby boy, all exuding a kind of "unlikable" feeling.
Tian Yuan was also accustomed to this with her son. She took a "storybook" collected from Prince Qing’s Mansion, opened it on the little hand, and then held the baby boy in her arms, gently reading the story.
Meanwhile, the purple copper coarse garment placed afar awaited its owner.
It was Li Xuan’s illusion humanoid.
After his spirit broke through to 280, his demon skill [Illusion Skill] was once again enhanced.
The range of activity for the illusion humanoid extended from the original 10 miles to 100 miles, and more extraordinarily... the agility of the illusion humanoid seemed a bit higher than his. Besides, the intelligence of the illusion humanoid was no longer limited to simple feedback, and it expanded to quickly respond to others verbally, and integrate somewhat into surrounding villages and towns.
Thus, an ordinary illusion humanoid became his servant, retrieving the purple copper coarse garment for him.
Li Xuan put it on, felt it slightly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With his physique breaking through 380 and spirit reaching 280, he felt the spirit densely perched upon his flesh, and his own power enhanced once more.
Originally, he merely activated his flesh, but now seemed to reach another terrifying level.
That is: As long as a piece of flesh exists, it could grow back into his likeness. But whether it could be stored in advance remains unknown.
Undoubtedly, such a breakthrough gave him further control over his flesh.
And this purple copper coarse garment elevated the "minimum burst" potential.
He had once tried with regular purple copper. As long as he didn’t exert force beyond 200 physiques, then... everything would be as ordinary, even the body fluids and all would be just as usual.
Li Xuan heavily exhaled.
Having cleansed the Great Yin of demon creatures, and after emptying the deep ores of Yunzhou’s treasures, finally... he could go home.
He carefully donned the purple copper coarse garment, covered himself with an outer robe, then turned into a rainbow, first treating Rose to a meal, then proceeded to Red Flower Mountain, slowly heading towards Xiongshan County.
...
...
Prince Qing returned, clothes in rags.
Xiongshan County was immediately ignited.
Almost the entire county came out of their homes, gazing at the man returning to the prince’s mansion.
The man was barefoot, eyes calm, but within that calmness was an indescribable hint of madness.
In the crowd, someone immediately turned and ran, spreading the news far and wide.
The so-called "a single stone stirs a thousand waves" could not be more apt.
It’s important to know that Prince Qing is not just any prince, he is a crucial hub in many ways, the most subtle point among many balances.
He was a prodigy who emerged suddenly, although not fulfilling the "Triple Crown" achievement due to being made a prince, but everyone knew that had he attended the imperial examination in the royal court, he would most likely still have been at the top.
He is an unmatched martial arts prodigy, given the title of Prince Qing is "to subdue Great Yin with martial arts, being the first in Great Yin", and remarkably all this time, even after he was gone for more than a year, no one ever refuted his "first in Great Yin", no one dared to claim they had surpassed Prince Qing.
He is the Prime Minister’s adoptive son, a friend of the Dark Web’s secret martial artists, burdened with future hope.
His wife is a Princess of the Zhao family royal line, to some extent, he is closer to the royal family rather than the currently ruling Wang family. After Empress Dowager Wang went south to worship Buddha, and sealing Xinci Temple as the state religion, anyone with a bit of brain knew it was to deal with Prince Qing.
