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

The Xuan Character Repository.

This was Zhou Haochen's second time coming here.

The last time, Zhou Haochen obtained the Five Thunder Sect's treasure, the Thunder God Seal, in the Xuan Character Repository.

This time, the biggest difference from the last time was that the person leading the way was no longer Eunuch Wei, the Grand Companion of Emperor Qian Yuan, but Eunuch Xu, the Director of the Imperial Horse Administration.

“Your Highness, if you need any treasures, just tell this old servant, and I will help you get them.”

“Thank you, Eunuch Xu!”

“Allow me to sense for a moment.”

Zhou Haochen said he was sensing, but in reality, he was relying on the hexagrams in his mind.

At this moment, his brow was burning hot, and golden light bloomed from the Eight Trigrams diagram, with two hexagrams emerging in his mind.

【Fire Heaven: Supreme Luck Hexagram, choose the treasure on the second shelf in the fifth column of the third row to obtain a Grade Four opportunity, great luck.】

【Heaven Fire: Medium Luck Hexagram, choose other treasures in the Xuan Character Repository to obtain a Grade Five opportunity, small luck.】

Seeing the content in the hexagrams, Zhou Haochen curled his lips.

It seemed that the treasures in the Xuan Character Repository were almost completely plundered by him.

Last time, he took away the Grade Two opportunity, the Thunder God Seal.

This time, there was still a Grade Four opportunity, and besides that, the rest were all Grade Five opportunities.

According to the instructions of the hexagrams, Zhou Haochen walked to the third row, fifth column, pointed to the second shelf, and said.

“Eunuch Xu, I have made my choice, it is this one!”

Eunuch Xu's expression turned strange when he saw Zhou Haochen's choice.

“Your Highness, in this old servant's opinion, you might as well choose another treasure.”

“What is it? Is there a problem with the treasure I chose?”

Hearing the slight displeasure in Zhou Haochen's tone, Eunuch Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He didn't know if this Thirteenth Prince was unlucky or too lucky, to actually choose this item from the vast array of treasures.

This treasure was the most special in the entire Xuan Character Repository.

To say that the Thirteenth Prince was lucky was because this treasure had the highest grade in the entire Xuan Character Repository, enough to be placed in the Earth Character Repository.

To say that the Thirteenth Prince was unlucky was because this treasure was unusable.

It was precisely because it was unusable that it was moved from the Earth Character Repository to the Xuan Character Repository.

“Your Highness, the treasure you have chosen is a Gu insect.”

“This Gu insect, named the Mind Control Gu, possesses the ability to manipulate the host's mind and is extremely strange.”

“However, the Mind Control Gu is currently in a dormant state. If you want the Mind Control Gu to awaken, you need to feed it with special spiritual herbs.”

“What spiritual herbs?” Zhou Haochen asked.

“Yin Water Purple Leaf Sunflower!”

“The Yin Water Purple Leaf Sunflower has long been extinct. The last time it appeared was twelve thousand years ago.”

“If Your Highness wishes to use the Mind Control Gu, I am afraid you will have to try your luck and search for the Yin Water Purple Leaf Sunflower.”

Yin Water Purple Leaf Sunflower?

Zhou Haochen's expression turned strange upon hearing this.

Wasn't this one of the many spiritual herbs he had scavenged from the River of Forgetfulness a few days ago?

No wonder the Mind Control Gu was rated as a Grade Four opportunity by the Eight Trigrams diagram.

For others, even if they obtained the Mind Control Gu, they could only rely on luck to see if they could find the Yin Water Purple Leaf Sunflower to revive it.

But for Zhou Haochen, it was completely different.

The Yin Water Purple Leaf Sunflower was in his storage bag.

【Mind Control Gu: Dormant state, one of the Ten Great Gu Insects of Southern Border, has the effect of controlling people's hearts, needs to be fed with Yin Water Purple Leaf Sunflower.】

After leaving the Xuan Character Repository, Zhou Haochen went to the Quiet Resting Residence, exchanged pleasantries with his mother concubine, and then left the palace.

After returning to the Royal Residence, Zhou Haochen couldn't wait to take out the Mind Control Gu.

The Mind Control Gu looked like a silkworm baby, completely different from the ferocious appearance Zhou Haochen had imagined. Not only was it not scary, but it was also somewhat cute.

But if anyone underestimated the Mind Control Gu because of its cute appearance, they would definitely suffer a great loss.

Controlling the host's mind, being listed as one of the Ten Great Gu Insects of Southern Border.

Everything was telling of the Mind Control Gu's power and strangeness.

The silkworm baby-like Mind Control Gu lay in Zhou Haochen's palm, motionless.

It looked as if it was dead.

Immediately afterward, Zhou Haochen took a leaf of the Yin Water Purple Leaf Sunflower and placed it in his palm.

After waiting for a moment, the Mind Control Gu in its slumber reacted, and its plump white body began to wriggle.

Seeming to smell the unique fragrance of the Yin Water Purple Leaf Sunflower, it slowly opened its eyes and feasted.

Watching the Mind Control Gu feast, Zhou Haochen quickly dripped a drop of essence blood onto the Mind Control Gu's body to refine it.

Because it had just awakened and had not yet returned to its full state, the entire refining process was quite easy.

Zhou Haochen encountered almost no resistance and refined the Mind Control Gu.

Gu cultivators are very rare in the Great Yu Dynasty.

Only in the Southern Border region do they exist in large numbers.

Gu cultivators are known for raising and refining Gu, and are considered a niche branch of Dao cultivation, ranking among the many unorthodox paths.

Precisely because Gu cultivation is a branch of Dao cultivation, it is not difficult for Dao cultivators to refine Gu insects, not much different from refining magical treasures.

After putting away the Mind Control Gu, Zhou Haochen took out the half of the jade pendant that was dug out from the Nursing Home.

The newest novels are available at Six 9 Books Bar!

This half of the jade pendant contained dragon energy.

A white dragon wandered within the jade pendant.

Zhou Haochen was very familiar with this white dragon, and it came from the same source as the dragon energy in Emperor Jin Wen's jade thumb ring.

Both were remnants of the Great Jin's dragon energy.

【Half of the Jade Pendant: Emperor Jin Wen's personal jade pendant, a token to enter Emperor Jin Wen's mausoleum, contains the Great Jin's dragon energy inside.】

“A token to Emperor Jin Wen's mausoleum!”

A look of surprise appeared on Zhou Haochen's face.

This half of the jade pendant was not only Emperor Jin Wen's personal jade pendant, but also involved Emperor Jin Wen's mausoleum.

This was really…

Zhou Haochen didn't know what to say?

Was he too fated with Emperor Jin Wen?

This was already the second time he had obtained Emperor Jin Wen's personal belongings.

The last time was the jade thumb ring that was mined from the ancient ore, and this time it was the personal jade pendant that was dug out from the ground.

The jade thumb ring last time contained a map, and this half of the jade pendant was even more of a token to Emperor Jin Wen's mausoleum.

If it weren't for the fact that there was only half of it, Zhou Haochen would have couldn't help but act like Cao Cao and dig up Emperor Jin Wen's tomb.

Suppressing the urge to become a tomb raider, Zhou Haochen began to refine the dragon energy in the jade pendant.

In the following days, Zhou Haochen did not investigate the case any further, but instead focused on cultivation.

Not only did he rely on the dragon energy in the jade pendant to break through several small realms in his martial arts realm.

He also gained a lot on the path of Dao cultivation.

The Earthen True Thunder reached the pinnacle of perfection.

Besides that, Zhou Haochen was waiting for Emperor Qian Yuan's orders.

It was a pity that for several days in a row, there was no movement from Emperor Qian Yuan's side, which made Zhou Haochen very curious.

… …

Cui Family Villa.

A middle-aged man, covered in dust, came to the Cui Family Villa, his aura faintly extraordinary.

This person was Butler Cui, who was ordered by Cui Zhengxin to come to Jade Capital City to find Cui Caiwei's whereabouts.

As Cui Zhengxin's confidant and a core figure of the Cui family, Butler Cui's every move in entering Jade Capital City would fall into the eyes of those who were interested.

In order to conceal his true purpose, Butler Cui's public statement was that he was visiting old friends of the Cui family in Jade Capital City.

Of course, Zhou Haochen, the Cui family's prospective son-in-law, was naturally also in Butler Cui's visitation sequence.

Just as Butler Cui had just taken a bath, a messenger hurriedly entered the Cui Family Villa.

“Chief Butler, this is what the Master asked me to give to you.”

“The Master instructed that you must read this letter before you visit the Thirteenth Prince!”

The messenger's words greatly surprised Butler Cui.

Because Cui Zhengxin's order was too strange.

To have to read this letter before visiting the Thirteenth Prince?

Could it be that this letter…

With a doubtful mood, Butler Cui read the contents of the letter.

The expression on his face changed from surprise to shock, and then changed twice, revealing a strong sense of horror and confusion.

“The truth of the Tree Heart theft case is actually like this.”
