After the engagement was called off, the senior sister of the sect took the initiative to consummate

A dazzling light flashed in Qin Yichen's eyes, and the four characters "Devouring Spirit Demon Art" appeared in his mind.

When Ye Buqun saw the iron book in Qin Yichen's hand, a look of horror flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

His body trembled slightly involuntarily, and his usual refined demeanor vanished, leaving only deep worry and unease.

"Oh dear, Your Highness Prince Jin, you mustn't be reading this cultivation manual!"

His tone was full of urgency and worry, as if he were afraid that Qin Yichen would fall into an abyss of no return because of a moment of curiosity.

Before Qin Yichen could examine the "Spirit Devouring Demon Art" carefully, he was completely bewildered by Ye Buqun's sudden words.

He looked at Ye Buqun with a blank expression, his eyes filled with doubt, "Why can't I look at this cultivation manual?"

His voice revealed a hint of confusion, and a strong sense of curiosity welled up in his heart.

They wanted to know what was so special about this cultivation technique that made Ye Buqun so nervous.

Ye Buqun took a deep breath and slowly said, "This is a forbidden technique. A thousand years ago, someone cultivated this technique, which triggered a catastrophe that plunged the entire continent into chaos and caused countless lives to be lost."

His voice was deep and serious, each word carrying an endless weight, as if recounting a painful history.

He paused, then continued, "When this technique is cultivated to its peak, it can grant one world-destroying power, but it can also drive people mad and cause them to lose their reason. The catastrophe a thousand years ago was caused by those who practiced this technique being unable to control their desires, which ultimately led to the disaster."

After hearing Ye Buqun's words, Qin Yichen's deep eyes flashed with a thoughtful light, and he seemed to be immersed in deep thought.

He frowned slightly, various thoughts and questions constantly surfacing in his mind.

"That's not right. If this cultivation technique is so powerful, even if it's considered a forbidden technique, how could it stop ambitious people who are single-mindedly pursuing power from wanting to cultivate it? If it's really as miraculous as it's said to be, why do we have to go back a thousand years in the entire river of history? Is it really true that in these long thousands of years, not a single person has dared to try to cultivate it?"

His mind was filled with doubt, and he couldn't help but murmur softly.

Ye Buqun shook his head helplessly and slowly said, "It's not that no one wants to take the risk and try to uncover the secrets of this cultivation technique. However, the text that records this technique is extremely special, completely different from all the texts on our Xuanhuang Continent. For thousands of years, countless people have tried to decipher its profound meaning, but no one has ever succeeded, let alone cultivated it."

Qin Yichen understood after hearing this.

However, he still had doubts: why did this cultivation technique end up in his mind?

Since we are destined to be together, we naturally cannot let this opportunity slip away.

As for what kind of forbidden technique it is?

That's none of the business of a normal person, what does it have to do with him, the big villain?

His eyes darted around, and he said with a hint of flattery, "In that case, this cultivation manual seems to be truly dispensable, Steward Ye, what do you think..."

Ye Buqun was both amused and exasperated. How could this guy have gotten so addicted to extorting money?

But Qin Yichen was, after all, His Highness Prince Jin, a man of noble status, so it was not appropriate for him to refuse directly.

He could only say helplessly, "This cultivation manual is indeed dispensable, so I'll have to trouble Your Highness to handle it. I hope Your Highness can deal with it properly and prevent this matter from causing unnecessary trouble."

After saying this, he slightly cupped his hands to show his respect for Qin Yichen.

Qin Yichen nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry, Steward Ye, this matter is known only to heaven, earth, you, and me, and no third person will know!"

Seeing that Ye Buqun was still somewhat uneasy, he patted his chest and assured him, "I guarantee with my integrity that I will absolutely not reveal a single word about what happened today."

How much is a person's character worth?

If it's valuable, I'll sell it by weight!

What kind of personality does a major villain need?

Nothing beats the cultivation method right in front of you.

Ye Buqun sighed, thinking that since he couldn't figure out the technique anyway, he might as well give it to him. "Then this old servant thanks Your Highness Prince Jin."

Qin Yichen put away the cultivation manual with a big smile, secretly pleased with himself. He had really struck gold.

[Ding! You have intercepted a crucial opportunity from Qin Muchen, the chosen one of destiny, causing him to lose 100000 points of luck. Congratulations, host, you have gained 100000 villain points!]

People are really in high spirits when happy events happen!

What could be more gratifying than making your opponent suffer?

He was even happier to have snatched two important opportunities from Qin Muchen than he had obtained the two treasures himself.

He was happy, but someone else was sad.

Qin Muchen had just returned to Xiangri Palace and hadn't even had a chance to sit down when he suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart, as if thousands of tiny needles were pricking it at the same time.

He clutched his chest, his face turning deathly pale, as if all the strength had been drained from him. "What's wrong? Why is my heart suddenly hurting?"

He closed his eyes and murmured, "It feels like something important has left me."

Of course, he never imagined that Qin Yichen would snatch the opportunity that was rightfully his.

After a long while, Qin Muchen suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes bursting with boundless hatred. "It must be because of that bastard Qin Yichen. If it weren't for him, I would still be the high and mighty Sixth Prince, or even the Crown Prince now. I wouldn't be like this now, with my identity exposed, in an awkward situation, and even driven out of the palace."

His expression was twisted, and he whispered like a demon, "It's all because of you, Qin Yichen, you deserve to die!"

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms, but the pain was nothing compared to the rage in his heart.

The image of Qin Yichen's smug face flashed through my mind, as if I could see him standing at the pinnacle of glory that was rightfully mine, his smile blindingly bright.

Qin Muchen's aura turned icy and violent, and the surrounding air seemed to be distorted by this anger, forming tiny vortexes.

In fact, his ambition can be seen from the name of his palace.

Sunrise Palace, where the sun rises in the east.

His goal was the Eastern Palace, that is, the position of Crown Prince.

If Qin Yichen knew about Qin Muchen's current situation, he would be even happier.

Of course, although he was overjoyed at the moment, he did not forget the important purpose of his trip.

Adhering to the firm principle of asking questions when you don't understand.

He humbly asked Ye Buqun for advice: "Steward Ye, look at all the treasures here, there are so many that I am dazzled. I really can't tell which one is most suitable for me. Do you have any good suggestions?"

After listening, Ye Buqun pondered for a moment, then patiently analyzed, "Your Highness, as the Prince of Jin, has a noble status and can cultivate the inherited techniques of the Qin royal family; moreover, judging from Your Highness's current cultivation level, the need for those high-level magic treasures is not so urgent."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "If you could choose a Foundation Establishment Pill of Emperor Rank, that would be perfect. It can help Your Highness refine your realm, greatly improve your cultivation aptitude, and lay a solid foundation for your future advancement."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yichen's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, and then he nodded solemnly, "In that case, let's do as Steward Ye says."
