Ling Han was completely unbothered. Money was only something he needed to buy more medicinal ingredients and concoct more alchemical pills. Even if he had more of it, it was not of much use to him.
When the day of the auction arrived, the Eldest Imperial Prince had indeed arrived very early and earnestly extended an invitation to Ling Han. Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan were long aware of the auction, and so had naturally come early. Thus, Ling Han would have to bring along the both of them, as well as Hu Niu.
“Hahaha, so Young Master Han has already plucked the two most beautiful flowers of the Imperial City. I was still feeling a bit strange previously about the fact that Young Master Han did not have any beauties by his side, especially when you are so outstanding and elegant.” The Eldest Imperial Prince laughed loudly, looking as if he had found a kindred spirit.
Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan both blushed, but did not argue. It was unknown whether it was because they were a bit subdued by the Eldest Imperial Prince’s power, or had just simply chosen to admit indirectly.
Meanwhile, Ling Han rolled his eyes. So this guy had previously thought that he had some kind of problem there … or perhaps thought that he liked men? He laughed and said, “Yu Tong and Si Chan are my good friends.”
“Good friends, I get it! I get it!” The Eldest Imperial Prince’s smile became even more suggestive.
d.a.m.n, this guy of impure thoughts.
Ling Han changed the topic and asked, “Does Your Imperial Highness also want the Foundation Building Pill?”
“Though I have not yet broken through to Spiritual Ocean Tier, my current cultivation level would at most continue to trouble me for one more year!” the Eldest Imperial Prince said confidently. “If I manage to obtain a Foundation Building Pill, then I would have higher odds when I attempt breaking through to Spiritual Pedestal Tier in the future. Unfortunately, I am limited in my financial resources. Otherwise, I will definitely try to obtain all nine Foundation Building Pills. That way, my breakthrough to Spiritual Pedestal Tier would be practically definite.”
Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan could not help but look towards Ling Han. This guy very casually produced those nine Foundation Building Pills. If you manage to cling to him, then that would really ensure that you can successfully break through.
Ling Han laughed and said, “A few **** 1 ago, I was having lunch at a restaurant and coincidentally encountered a pair of a.s.sa.s.sins. Moreover, three members of the Black Cloud Army even died.”
The Eldest Imperial Prince was stunned for a second, then asked, “Young Master Han was also at the scene on that day?”
“En.” Ling Han nodded and said, “That woman seems to be a member of the Imperial Family, right? From the looks of her, she has yet to reach thirty years old, and yet has already stepped into Spiritual Ocean Tier. Her accomplishment is really something awe-inspiring.”
The face of the Eldest Imperial Prince instantly darkened. He kept his silence for a moment, then said, “This woman’s name is Xu Ke Xin, she had entered the court just a few years ago. My Imperial Father named her as Consort Yun, and dotes on her very much. Since Young Master Han knows that the power of the nation can help one to break through to Flower Blossoming Tier, then you should know that it can also help to speed up one’s cultivation rate. However, the power of the nation is still limited, yet my Imperial Father actually used a large portion of it on a woman. Heng!”
The last words of the Eldest Imperial Prince were already extremely traitorous as he dared to actually criticize the actions of the current Emperor. However, it was also very obvious from his tone that the Eldest Imperial Prince was very displeased with this Xu Ke Xin.
Ling Han thought back on the naturally seductive appearance of Xu Ke Xin, and could not help but think that it was no wonder that even the Rain Emperor would be head over heels over her. She was indeed a captivating beauty. It was evident how much the Emperor doted on her just from the fact that she could leave the palace with the Black Cloud Army as her guards. If she did not have the Emperor’s favor, then, as an Imperial Consort, how could she so casually leave the Imperial Palace?
