The unattainable is always full of temptation, even though the two women were already married, he was still very interested, even more so.
Although Shen Wang had already distanced himself a bit, his thoughts were still monitoring Huang Yao, and his face darkened when he heard what was said.
This medicine boy of the Sixth Prince was somewhat annoying, it was best not to provoke him.
He was bound by the Sixth Prince, but he wasn't afraid of others.
Now was not the time to regain face, he had already reached the entrance of the great hall, and seeing the guards not stopping him, he strode in.
Inside the hall, there were four more palace maids as beautiful as flowers, clearly, this Sixth Prince was not lacking in beauties.
Song Huirui's expression was not very good, yet Shen Wang did not see any anger.
He stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings, Your Highness."
"In the presence of His Highness, why aren't you kneeling in salute?"
One of the black-clad medicine boys reprimanded with a dissatisfied look, his name was Xuan Yao, fiercer than the Huang Yao who had come to call him.
"His Highness hasn't said anything, why do you speak out?" Shen Wang frowned, this guy was really bullying by relying on someone else's power, deliberately making things difficult for him.
"Xuan Yao, get lost!"
Song Huirui, impatient, beckoned to Shen Wang, "You, come here."
Shen Wang walked over, seeing Song Huirui's eyes ringed with black, his mental state exhausted.
Clearly, after refining elixirs for seven days and failing, one would definitely be fatigued.
The Sixth Prince stared at Shen Wang with an eerie gaze, "Last time, the blood was too little, this time I want to take more."
Shen Wang understood the other party's meaning, drew a nail across his wrist, and blood flowed out with a faint green glow.
He said, "Your Highness will certainly succeed next time, the failure this time was definitely due to insufficient blood usage."
Seeing Shen Wang so tactful and cooperative, the latter's cold and icy face finally revealed a smile, he raised his hand and grabbed, the blood from Shen Wang's wound flew toward him, forming a blood line mid-air.
Very soon, the blood accumulated to the size of a thumb, the Sixth Prince took out a jade bottle, tapped it with his finger, and the blood entered inside.
The blood continued to be drawn, by Shen Wang's estimation, about a pound was extracted, much more than the few drops last time.
Song Huirui capped the bottle and said, "Earth Medicine, give him two bottles of Three-Flavor Blood Replenishing Pill."
"Yes."
The medicine boy in a yellow-brown robe responded respectfully.
The Sixth Prince then spoke to Chief Steward Liu, "Every month, reward him with a hundred pounds of Spirit Beast Meat to replenish his blood, and also nurture good blood as much as possible."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Shen Wang expressed gratitude, yet he felt little happiness in his heart, the items given were simply for the sake of next time's blood drawing.
"You may leave."
Song Huirui did not wish to speak further, preparing for the next alchemy session with the new blood.
Shen Wang made no requests, saluted, and then left.
Upon exiting the palace, his wound had already healed, he was quite amazed by the sight.
The recovery power of his bloodline was indeed formidable, no wonder Song Huirui used it for alchemy.
"If it doesn't work this time, wouldn't it mean even more blood next time, not just ordinary blood, perhaps even heart blood," Shen Wang thought of the worst-case scenario and began pondering what level he could withstand.
He returned to his courtyard, where both Rose and Chanchan awaited anxiously.
Seeing Shen Wang return, his children hurried to greet him, their expressions full of concern.
"Husband, His Highness didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
"Husband, are you injured?"
The two women asked anxiously.
Shen Wang smiled, "You see me coming back so quickly, naturally nothing happened."
He held the hands of his two wives, "Chanchan, why would you think I would get hurt, would this Sixth Prince really easily harm people?"
"No, it's just that His Highness wants your blood, we're afraid you'll be drawn dry," Chanchan explained.
Shen Wang couldn't help but laugh, "It's not that severe, just a pound of blood, ordinary people can handle it, naturally, it's nothing to me."
He patted both on the back, "Come on, what I wanted to discuss with you was interrupted."
"Husband just lost a lot of blood, you should first nourish your body, I'll make a bowl of Blood-Nourishing and Vitality-Enhancing Porridge," Rose said, caring deeply for Shen Wang's health.
"I'll go gather the herbs, sister can start the fire," Chanchan prepared to act with Rose.
The two women became busy, and this feeling of being cared for greatly improved Shen Wang's mood.
Returning to his room, he took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, only to put it away again.
Whether it was communication or sound transmission, there would be some trace of fluctuation, something ordinary cultivators couldn't detect, but powerful ones using special arrays might perceive.
This ship was so large, surely it had many arrays, if he contacted randomly, it might bring trouble to his family and cause misunderstandings.
It was best to appear honest, enduring for a while.
"I wonder if the Black Death Blade King knows anything, I could ask him," Shen Wang secretly communicated with the Tai Chi Yin Yang Mirror hidden deep in his Dantian, controlling the Yin and Yang Qi to form a special barrier nearby, and then with a thought opened a box.
A jade cicada with a sealing talisman appeared, and the latter immediately sensed it, saying, "Boy, why have you sealed me for so many days?"
Shen Wang communicated mentally, "What's the situation with the Sixth Prince riding the Dragon Map Giant Ship on your side?"
The Black Death Blade King still didn't know that Shen Wang had already been captured by the Sixth Prince and said, "Don't mess with such a being. It's best to stay far away; otherwise, if they see you, I'll be the one to suffer."
"Why?"
"Humph, your bloodline power is very useful to him. If he discovers it, he will definitely capture you."
The Black Death Blade King affirmed.
Shen Wang confirmed that the Black Death Blade King knew very well about the Sixth Prince's situation and said, "Continue."
"You really don't know the value of your family's bloodline? Your bloodline can absorb the essence of plants and possesses strong life force, which in itself is a special material. For cultivators with insufficient lifespan or alchemists, capturing you would be like capturing a living spiritual medicine. Do you think they would be interested?"
The Black Death Blade King snorted, "If your bloodline were more ordinary, it wouldn't matter much, but being able to make me lose half my life is not simple. If he senses it, he won't let you go."
"Oh, I guess I need to be more careful."
Shen Wang already knew this situation was learned from personal experience.
"You definitely have to be careful. If you're captured, fine, but don't get me discovered. I don't want to lose my life."
The Black Death Blade King cautioned.
"Hey, he's one of your kind. Shouldn't you be happy? Why are you afraid of being discovered?"
Shen Wang was puzzled.
"Boy, you don't understand anything. Now, I'm no longer human, but a demon."
The Black Death Blade King said with resentment, "You killed my original body. To survive, I made this incarnation my main body. Those not of my race have different hearts; that's one reason."
"The second is that this Sixth Prince is not a good guy. Incarnations are treasures that even Nascent Soul Cultivators covet. Do you think he'd erase my consciousness when he sees it?"
Shen Wang sneered, "Aren't you afraid that I'll erase your consciousness?"
"Didn't I say that your cultivation is insufficient, you need to at least reach Core Formation?"
The Black Death Blade King replied helplessly,
"Then when I reach Core Formation, I'll erase your consciousness!"
Shen Wang said.
The Black Death Blade King realized he couldn't fool this person and just sighed, speaking honestly, "This incarnation of mine comes from a treasure place, that... that place is the Imperial Mausoleum. Now you understand."
Shen Wang was speechless, "You work for the Royal Family and dare to rob the Imperial Mausoleum?"
"Cough, it was all an accident."
"How can there be these things in the Imperial Mausoleum?"
Shen Wang was puzzled.
"An Emperor once cultivated Golden Patterned Cicadas. After passing away, they were buried along with the eggs in the mausoleum. Perhaps the mausoleum's conditions were suitable for the cicadas' growth, allowing generation after generation to breed these things. I discovered it by chance."
The Black Death Blade King sighed, "The source of Golden Cicadas in the Sun and Moon Dynasty and the Ningnan Region is only this one place. You say, after being discovered, can I still live?"
Shen Wang cursed, "You mean the better Golden Cicadas are inside the Imperial Mausoleum?"
"Uh, indeed, but I have a way to safely capture them."
The Black Death Blade King assured.
"Humph, I dare not trust you anymore."
Shen Wang mocked, "You'd better clearly explain the situation of this Sixth Prince now. My Shen Family narrowly escapes death and is likely still being targeted by him."
"They probably don't care for your Shen Family, at most they're interested in you."
The Black Death Blade King said casually.
"Someone in my Shen Family betrayed us. The matter of my Longevity Bloodline will inevitably be leaked."
Shen Wang said.
"That's truly bothersome. He only needs to send out his Chief Steward to deal with you."
The Black Death Blade King pondered for a moment and said, "I think you might not be able to escape. How about releasing me, give me your treasures, and I'll take care of your wife and children."
"Get lost, you're dreaming. Now tell me everything you know about the Sixth Prince, or I'll burn this incarnation of yours right now."
Shen Wang, tired of wasting words, directly threatened.
"Let's talk it over."
The Black Death Blade King sensibly said, "This Sixth Prince's real name is Song Huirui, son of the Princess Consort Yan, born with strong soul power, interested in herbs and stones, apprenticed to the Imperial Hospital's Chief. Now not only is he a late-stage Core Formation Cultivator, but in alchemy, he's also reached the Medicine Emperor's level, highly valued by His Majesty, and is in charge of overseeing the Eight States of the Southwest."
"This person has been refining pills for years, reserved and tenacious, never stopping until he achieves his goal. He has a strong desire for control but is generally reasonable, administering rewards and punishments fairly. Moreover, since he's an alchemist, he's wealthier than other princes, and being his confidant offers quite good treatment."
Shen Wang felt that this description matched the Sixth Prince he had encountered and continued, "What's the situation with the ship he is riding on?"
"That's the Day-Traveling Dragon Ship, similar to the Night Traveling Jade Ship. They're both special magical treasures for royal tours, equipped with enough array power and troops to threaten a major sect."
The Black Death Blade King answered.
Shen Wang couldn't help but look outside.
This giant ship was called the Day-Traveling Dragon Ship, and it sounded like a special magical treasure designed to patrol the regions.
"Just don't get close to such things, whether it's the Day Ship or the Night Ship. They both have hundreds or thousands of arrays, and even as a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, one mistake and you might suffer."
The Black Death Blade King cautioned.
Upon hearing this, Shen Wang dismissed the idea of escaping.
It seems he would have to stay here for some time, but he needed to find a way to get a message back to Zheng Yunshu and the others to prevent their family from worrying.
