Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

Some rejoiced, while others grieved.

Song Heng retired and returned to his hometown, while Zhou Sheng was thrown into the heavenly prison.

This meant that the positions of Minister of Justice and Chief of the Secret Realm Division were suddenly vacant.

Already, some people were beginning to stir.

As Zhou Haochen walked out of the Hall of Golden Bells, leaning on his rosewood cane, he saw Song Heng's lonely figure leaving, and a wave of emotion washed over him.

Yesterday, Song Heng was still the Minister of Justice, solving major cases and enjoying unlimited glory, with hopes of entering the cabinet.

Today, after the Earth Mother Tree Realm case, Song Heng was demoted to the very bottom and directly retired to his hometown, a true twist of fate.

He watched him build a tall building!

He watched him host banquets!

He watched his building collapse!

All the momentum the Second Prince had built for Song Heng had gone down the drain.

"Your Highness, are you injured!"

As soon as he walked out of the palace gates, Qin Qiulan ran over anxiously, checking Zhou Haochen's body, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found no injuries.

"Aunt Lan, don't worry, I'm not injured."

"I also caught a White Lotus Sect thief."

Hearing that Zhou Haochen had caught a White Lotus Sect thief, Qin Qiulan became worried again.

A hint of resentment appeared in her almond-shaped eyes, as if blaming Zhou Haochen for doing such a dangerous thing.

"Let's go, we'll return to the manor first, I want to enter seclusion."

According to the records in the Thunder God Seal inheritance, to activate the Five Thunder Spiritual Body, one needs to refine the Thunder Beast Horn, the Water Moon Epiphyllum Lotus Seed, and the Dustfall Crystal Sand into a protective meridian elixir in order.

Then, one must use their physical body to accommodate the Congenital Divine Firmament Purple Thunder, using the power of thunder to temper the body, completely changing their constitution, and activating the Five Thunder Spiritual Body.

The whole process has a certain amount of risk, especially the last step, allowing the Congenital Divine Firmament Purple Thunder to enter the body.

Without the protection of the protective meridian elixir, rashly absorbing the Congenital Divine Firmament Purple Thunder would directly turn one into a pile of charcoal.

Zhou Haochen didn't choose to enter seclusion alone, but instead asked Qin Qiulan to help him.

The only person he could absolutely trust was Qin Qiulan, he couldn't possibly ask Consort Yun to leave the palace to protect him, could he?

"Aunt Lan, according to what I say, refine the Thunder Beast Horn, Water Moon Epiphyllum Lotus Seed, and Dustfall Crystal Sand into an elixir," Zhou Haochen said softly.

Hearing Zhou Haochen's instructions, the confusion in Qin Qiulan's eyes flowed out like a gentle stream.

"Your Highness, this elixir formula seems… to be preparing the physical body to accommodate thunder…"

Qin Qiulan saw through the use of the protective meridian elixir at a glance, which made Zhou Haochen slightly surprised.

"Aunt Lan, you're right, this is a protective meridian elixir, after taking it, I plan to absorb the Congenital Divine Firmament Purple Thunder and activate the Five Thunder Spiritual Body."

"Your Highness, that's too dangerous!"

"The Congenital Divine Firmament Purple Thunder is one of the six great divine thunders, incomparably overbearing, and cultivators below the Lower Three Realms will die if they touch it. Even cultivators in the Upper Three Realms wouldn't dare to touch it easily."

Qin Qiulan became anxious, in her opinion, the risk of activating the Five Thunder Spiritual Body was too great.

"Aunt Lan, you don't need to worry, I'm confident."

"Protect me."

Zhou Haochen chuckled and comforted her, revealing a relaxed expression.

The Thunder God Seal is an Upper Trigram, activating the Five Thunder Spiritual Body should be mostly problem-free.

Moreover, even if an accident occurs, with the protective meridian elixir, he wouldn't die and have his Dao extinguished.

"Your Highness, have you really decided to activate the Five Thunder Spiritual Body and switch to Dao cultivation?"

After a slight hesitation, Zhou Haochen nodded to Qin Qiulan.

Although the Imperial Family's Ancient Emperor Dragon Transformation Scripture is powerful, it also has great limitations.

Only by using the Great Yu's dragon energy can it be cultivated to the peak, becoming a Martial Saint in the world.

Even if he had the Bagua Diagram, possessing countless opportunities, and could continuously obtain the previous dynasty's dragon energy.

However, Zhou Haochen estimated that cultivating the Ancient Emperor Dragon Transformation Scripture to the Martial Dao's Ninth Realm—Grandmaster—would be the limit.

To advance to the Upper Three Realms, one must have the Great Yu's dragon energy.

This also meant that he must succeed in the struggle for the throne and then live longer than Emperor Qian Yuan to successfully ascend the throne.

This process was too passive, so Zhou Haochen planned to switch to Dao cultivation.

Seeing Zhou Haochen's determination, Qin Qiulan had no choice but to show a trace of helplessness on her face.

Her slender jade hands moved swiftly, like flowing clouds and flowing water, using the already prepared alchemy furnace to refine the protective meridian elixir.

The protective meridian elixir was not difficult to refine, even someone like Qin Qiulan, who was an amateur in alchemy, could easily complete it.

After a cup of tea's time.

A ball of green elixir floated in the pill furnace, even with closed eyes, one could feel the vitality in the protective meridian elixir.

Zhou Haochen opened his mouth and inhaled, directly sucking the protective meridian elixir into his mouth.

The protective meridian elixir was cool in the mouth, just like eating frozen pudding.

It was clearly a freshly made elixir, with extremely high temperature and emitting heat, but it tasted icy cold, this wonderful duality of ice and fire made Zhou Haochen amazed.

As the protective meridian elixir entered his body, a layer of green halo appeared on his meridians, like a protective film, protecting Zhou Haochen's meridians.

Opening the jade bottle stopper, a crackling sound immediately rang out in the quiet room.

The blue-purple light filled the entire quiet room.

Qin Qiulan's elegant face became tense, her almond-shaped eyes staring intently at the Congenital Divine Firmament Purple Thunder in the jade bottle.

This Congenital Divine Firmament Purple Thunder was extremely overbearing and violent.

Even with the storage of the jade bottle, the thunderous aura that leaked out alone made Qin Qiulan feel a tingling sensation on her skin, as if countless tiny electric currents were flowing through it.

If it were really taken down and integrated into the body.

Just thinking about it made Qin Qiulan's scalp tingle.

Zhou Haochen didn't hesitate too much, he stretched out his index finger, and the fingertip gently touched the mouth of the bottle containing the Congenital Divine Firmament Purple Thunder.

The Congenital Divine Firmament Purple Thunder was like a shark that smelled blood, directly drilling into Zhou Haochen's body.

Crackling!

The sound of frying beans rang out.

It was so clear and audible.

Zhou Haochen only felt a piercing pain coming from his fingertips.

However, this piercing pain was fleeting and soon disappeared.

Because Zhou Haochen was already electrocuted and could no longer feel the pain.

The Congenital Divine Firmament Purple Thunder, like a prehistoric beast, drilled savagely into Zhou Haochen's meridians.

Violent, savage, unreasonable, like the destruction of the world, destroying everything.

If Zhou Haochen could look inside himself, he would definitely see clearly.

Wherever the Congenital Divine Firmament Purple Thunder passed, the meridians were destroyed and damaged, as if they were being ravaged by an invisible, violent force.

But immediately after, the green light on the meridians emitted a rich vitality, repairing the destroyed meridians.

Destruction!

Repair!

Destruction!

Repair!

Such a repeated cycle!
