Chapter 690 Asking for help
"I suspect it contains the secret of inheritance." Chu Honglin said.

Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

Chu Honglin said: "We need to learn martial arts first and then practice. The demon race is born knowing it. They know how to practice in the womb. The nobler the bloodline, the more advanced the practice method."

"Is it a cultivation method passed down through the demon crystal?"

"Through blood."

“That demon crystal…” Chu Zhiyuan pondered, “There should be traces of their training in the demon crystal. Through this, we can get a glimpse of their martial arts. We must not let it out.”

"Like this..." Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

If this is the case, it would be extremely difficult for my Moon Silkworm Frost Clothes to fully recover to its full glory.

“Uncle Fifteen,” Chu Zhiyuan refused to give up: “Not even a single demon crystal?”

"I'll think of a way." Chu Honglin looked serious, obviously unsure, and then he asked curiously: "What do you want the demon crystal for?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Uncle Fifteen, do you know about Moon Silkworm Frost Clothes?"

"Moon Silkworm Frost Clothes..." Chu Honglin thought about it and shook his head: "Armor?"

"It is a precious garment hidden in a corner of the imperial storehouse. My father gave it to me. If it wants to become stronger, it needs a demon crystal."

Chu Honglin was surprised: "What kind of armor is this?"

Chu Zhiyuan then narrated the legend.

He could conclude that these legends were not all false, but mostly true.

Chu Honglin looked at Chu Zhiyuan's body.

Chu Zhiyuan calmly took off his outer robe, revealing his white inner garment. It was plain and simple, without any trace of precious clothing or any aura of wealth.

Chu Honglin became more and more curious.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "This Moon Silkworm Frost Robe is truly extraordinary. It's a pity that it has been dormant for too long and has consumed too much energy without replenishing it."

“Is this really a spiritual thing?”

"Well, it is indeed spiritual and can help me."

As he spoke, his body floated up as if an invisible hand was holding him up.

There was no fluctuation of true energy in him at all.

Afterwards, he swept forward suddenly, silently, without any sound of breaking wind, nor any fluctuation of true energy, nor any fluctuation of strength.

Chu Honglin said in amazement: "Amazing! Amazing, awesome!... Your body movements are comparable to those of the demons."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "If it hadn't been placed in the imperial storehouse and locked up, it wouldn't have been like this. It's a waste of natural resources."

Chu Honglin said: "No one really understands it, but if there is no demon crystal, it can't be restored?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Then we can only endure it slowly. It can absorb the moonlight by itself, but it will take a long time to recover to its full strength. The demon crystal can greatly shorten the time."

“Demon crystal…” Chu Honglin said solemnly, “No matter what, I have to get it!”

"Thank you, Uncle Fifteen."

"The princes of the Yuanzhen Dynasty will challenge you at the banquet tonight. With it,... can it really defend?"

After saying that, he suddenly punched.

A white light flashed and landed on Chu Zhiyuan's chest. He suddenly punched at her from so close that Chu Zhiyuan couldn't defend himself.

"boom!"

His body bulged, and his white undercoat suddenly inflated and then flattened down.

It was like a ball was punctured and the air quickly deflated.

But he stood firmly, without any sign of abnormality.

"What a nice Moon Silkworm Frost coat!" Chu Honglin looked at the Moon Silkworm Frost coat in amazement.

Although he didn't use his full strength, this attack was a Great Light Fist of the Divine Transformation Level.

Under normal circumstances, Chu Zhiyuan would not be able to take this punch unless he could use the Great Light Fist in time to block it.

This is the meaning of the realm of cultivation.

The significance of martial arts realm lies in attack power, and the significance of cultivation realm lies in defense power.

Of course, there are higher levels of cultivation, where it is easier to practice martial arts.

Chu Zhiyuan’s previous fatal weakness was his insufficient cultivation, but now with this Moon Silkworm Frost Robe, he has made up for it.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "This precious robe is indeed powerful, so the demon crystal is important."

Chu Honglin said solemnly: "I understand, I will find a way to find it!"

-

Chu Zhiyuan returned to his own courtyard.

Youlan waited with the three girls, helping him wash and setting the table for wine and food, while reporting that they had not found the demon crystal. There was none in the palace, and they had also asked other princes' palaces and the Zongzheng Palace.

There are no demon crystals.

It is a rare item and is not circulated in the world.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded indifferently.

With the power and connections of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, it is natural that they cannot find the demon crystal.

He thought about it and asked Youlan to call Li Yuzhen. He told Li Yuzhen that he wanted demon crystals, the more the better.

Li Yuzhen looked at him in surprise.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "As the future prince consort, can't I borrow something from her?"

If it was the original owner, he would never ask the Twelfth Princess for help.

He was in a detached state of mind, not feeling so awkward nor having such a strong self-esteem.

When it comes to life, self-esteem is not that important.

Now I need to use any power I can to protect myself and become stronger.

This is the significance of my incarnation as the Ninth Prince.

There has been no news from Uncle Fifteen, which means the demon crystal cannot be found, so we can only place our hopes on Princess Twelve.

Li Yuzhen blinked her eyes and nodded: "My Lord, I will report this to His Highness."

"The sooner the better." Chu Zhiyuan said.

"Yes." Li Yuzhen clasped her fists and said goodbye: "I will write the letter right away."

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.

After Li Yuzhen left, Chu Zhiyuan drank the wine in the glass, stood up and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

The original owner left behind a mess and received very little help.

Entering Yujing Cave Heaven once does not change the situation and the change to the situation is limited.

The key is that the space for normal activities is too small, only between Da Guangming Peak and the Prince's Mansion, a straight line between two points.

Even the eldest prince, who has a job, spends most of his time practicing in Zhenwu Academy.

After all, in Tianwai Tian, ​​cultivation is the most important thing, and the same goes for the prince.

In this situation, I can only rely on any power I can.

This would mean that he would owe the Twelfth Princess a favor, but he couldn't care less about it now.

-

The next morning, he came to Zhenwu Temple again.

Once again, he arrived before the third prince.

He glanced at the empty Zhenwu Courtyard and realized that the third prince came late today, most likely because of the palace banquet last night.

It must be because I stayed out very late and had too much fun, so I got up late.

He shook his head and tried to copy the Ode to Light again.

The result was still a failure, the white jade turned into powder, and he felt dizzy.

He immediately stopped trying and visualized the Great Light Peak again to warm his spirit.

At this time, the third prince Chu Lieyang appeared again, followed by the eldest prince and the second prince.

Seeing him start to practice, the Third Prince hurriedly sat in the seat farthest from him and began to practice with his eyes closed.

The second prince Chu Liexuan laughed and said, "Ninth brother, you didn't come last night, so you didn't get to see the appearance of the fifth and sixth princes of the Yuanzhen Dynasty. They are really impressive!"

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Did the emperor scold me?"

“…It’s not really a scolding.” Chu Liexuan hesitated for a moment and said with a smile, “I want you to recover from your injuries.”

Chu Zhiyuan snorted and said, "You didn't even mention me, did you?"

"I mentioned it." Chu Liexuan said hurriedly.

It was only because the Sixth Prince Yuanzhen asked the question that my father responded. Apart from that, he never mentioned my ninth brother from beginning to end, as if there was no such person as him.

To be fair, my father was indeed too harsh on my ninth brother.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "I'm used to it. ...Brother, have you tested their strength?"

"Very strong." Chu Liechu said solemnly: "Fourth brother had a sparring match with the Sixth Prince, but he was unable to block the Sixth Prince's sword."

"This Heaven-asking Sword is indeed strange." Chu Liexuan said hurriedly, "It's hard to guard against. Ninth brother, you must think of a way. Fourth brother was injured and almost disfigured."
