“Things did not go too well for me either. Not only did I not obtain the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits, but I also suffered disastrous losses. Father, please punish me…”

Li Zhen told his father about the incidents that took place on his way to Thunder Mountain this time.

Hearing this, Li Guangyao’s face darkened. Li Mengyao had been humiliated within the borders of Rosefinch Kingdom. Within the jurisdiction of the Dragon Kingdom, there were actually people who dared to attack his daughter and son.

He asked angrily, “Who can steal the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits from you? Do you know?”

Li Zhen said, “I don’t know yet. That person and the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits have magically disappeared.”

“I’ll arrange for someone to investigate this matter. No one can humiliate the members of our royal family in the territory of the Dragon Kingdom,” Li Guangyao said. “The other party should have been prepared and must be a master. It’s not your fault. You don’t have to be punished.”

“Thank you, father,” Li Zhen said again. “There is one more thing I need to report to you. Recently, traces of the Ghost King Sect have appeared in the territory of our Dragon Kingdom, one after another.”

As he spoke, he told the stories of how Lu Xiaoyao met the Fifth and Sixth Elders of the Ghost King Sect and how he met the Third and Fourth Elders on the way back.

When Li Zhen said that both the Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder had been killed by Qin Haodong and the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder had escaped with injuries, Qin Haodong keenly noticed that there was an imperceptible change in the eyes of the queen, Cao Yuhuan.

The change in her eyes was very subtle. Ordinary people couldn’t see it at all.

There was shock and regret in Cao Yuhuan’s eyes, which surprised Qin Haodong.

Could it be that Cao Yuhuan hoped the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder would kill Li Zhen and Li Mengyao? This was not impossible. There were always all kinds of intrigues in royal households.

Qin Haodong made light of the matter. The lives of Li Mengyao and Li Zhen had nothing to do with him. What he cared about was whether he could get any news about the Dragon Spiritual Spring.

Li Guangyao said, “The Ghost King Sect even sent out several core elders. They dare to attack the members of our Dragon Royal Family. What are they trying to do? Are they crazy?”

Cao Yuhuan said, “Your Majesty, it’s no big deal. They are just a few clowns from the Ghost King Sect. Maybe they just want the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits.”

Li Zhen said, “Father, the Ghost King Sect came to Little Dragon City to rob the Black Demon Pearl. I’ve long heard of the Black Demon Pearl. I heard that it has something to do with the Alien Demon, but I don’t know why the Ghost King Sect wants it.”

Li Guangyao nodded and said, “I’ll ask our men to pay more attention to the movements of the Ghost King Sect.”

Li Mengyao said, “Father, in fact, we also gained something this time.”

“Oh? Tell me about your gains.”

“Well, father, my brother and I were able to escape from the people of the Ghost King Sect this time because of Dr. Tang Long’s help.

“My brother and I have brought him over to Dragon City. Dr. Tang is definitely a talent. I hope you can keep him here.”

When she said that, a wisp of embarrassment suffused Li Mengyao’s face.

Cao Yuhuan was a wily and shrewd woman. She immediately noticed that. “Do you have someone you like? Looks like our Dragon Kingdom will have a son-in-law.”

Li Guangyao’s expression also softened a lot. A faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

“I wonder what kind of person this Dr. Tang is. Why does my daughter like him so much?”

Li Mengyao said shyly, “Father, Brother Tang is indeed a talent. He reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm at the age of 20. Moreover, his medical skills are amazing. Elder Wang and I were cured by him.”

“What did you say? He reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm in his twenties?”

There was a look of surprise on Li Guangyao’s face. Although he looked like he was only 40 or 50 years old, in fact, he was already 100 years old.

He was at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm until he was in his 50s and was now at the late stage of the Grand Completion Realm. Moreover, his cultivation speed had broken the fastest record of cultivation progress in the Dragon Royal Family.

Li Guangyao thought to himself. “Reaching the stage of the Grand Completion Realm in his twenties, this young man can only be described as a genius, not to mention being proficient in medical skills.”

Li Mengyao said, “Yes, Brother Tang has indeed reached the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. According to him, his cultivation was given by his master who was dying.”

Li Guangyao said, “That makes sense.”

Li Zhen said, “Father, I don’t think these words can be believed. That is because the cultivation of Li Yingying, Tang Long’s woman, is higher than his. She may have reached the late stage of the Grand Completion Realm.

“The Third Elder of the Ghost King Sect was defeated by her. She doesn’t look very old, either.”

Li Guangyao’s expression immediately turned solemn. Any force had to take a master at the late stage of the Grand Completion Realm seriously.

He thought for a moment and said, “They are so young but their cultivation is very high. We don’t know much about them. Therefore, we must be cautious and find out their backgrounds.

“If they are trustworthy, we will get them on our side at all costs. If they want to harm us, we have to kill them as soon as possible.”

Li Zhen and Li Mengyao said at the same time, “You’re right, father. I know.”

“Let’s put this matter aside for now. There are more important things for you to do now,” Li Guangyao said. “Recently, I learned something about the Medicine God Valley on Qingling Mountain. If I am right, the Medicine God Valley will open in three days.”

“What? The Medicine God Valley is going to open? This is an extremely good thing!”

Both Li Zhen and Li Mengyao looked excited.

It was said that the Medicine God Valley was an ancient ruin passed down by the Medicine God. In the valley, not only were there spirit medicines everywhere but there were also many fortunes. Anyone who entered the valley would be able to obtain great benefits.

The Medicine God Valley was good but its fortunes were limited. It would only open once every hundred years.

According to the previous estimation, it would open this year. However, the exact time was unknown. Since there had been some movements recently, it seemed the opening date wasn’t far off.

“This is indeed a blessing for our Dragon Royal Family,” Li Guangyao said. “However, one must have sufficient strength in order to enter the Medicine God Valley. After all, this kind of ancient ruin has its dangers as well.

“You still have three days to prepare. Go into the Dragon Spiritual Spring to cultivate. You had better improve your cultivation, the higher the better.”

“All right, father. We’ll go to the Dragon Spiritual Spring right away. We won’t let you down,” Li Zhen and Li Mengyao responded at the same time.

They left the palace after exchanging a few more words.

Qin Haodong became excited when he heard the news about the Dragon Spiritual Spring. After viewing the laptop for so long, he finally got the news about it.

He asked Niu Cuihua, “What is the Medicine God Valley?”

Niu Cuihua first explained about this situation, then she said, “The Medicine God Valley can be said to be the most tempting ancient relic in the Lingwu Continent. Once it is opened, it will immediately attract masters from all over the continent.

“There are many fortunes inside. We should also go in and have a look.”

Qin Haodong nodded and said, “We’re going to the Medicine God Valley, but our top priority is to go to the Dragon Spiritual Spring to improve our cultivation.”

Niu Cuihua had a rare serious look on her face. “Although the Dragon Spiritual Spring is good, I’m afraid it’s not easy for us to cultivate there quietly.

“Li Zhen and Li Mengyao would soon be going there to cultivate and would immediately know if we make any little moves. After all, the Dragon Kingdom is the strongest in the Lingwu Continent and they have many masters who are much stronger than that of Rosefinch Kingdom.”

Qin Haodong frowned and felt that it was indeed a problem. His speed of absorbing the Spiritual Qi was amazing, which still needed a period of time. What’s more, he could not be disturbed during this period of time.

However, this opportunity was hard to come by. Since he was already here, he couldn’t let it go.

“Forget it. Let’s go and have a look first.” Qin Haodong said to them, “As usual, you two will enter the Seven Storeys Pagoda first. I will quietly follow Li Zhen and Li Mengyao alone.”

Niu Cuihua and He Ziwei nodded and entered the Seven Storeys Pagoda together.

Qin Haodong set up a Phantom Magic Field in the room to project an image that the three of them had fallen asleep. Then, he quietly left the courier station.

After going out, he quickly found the place where Li Mengyao was based on the signal transmitted by the miniature camera that had been installed on Li Mengyao’s body by him before. Then, he followed Li Mengyao and Li Zhen quietly.

At this moment, he felt exhilarated. If he could successfully absorb the Spiritual Qi of the Dragon Spiritual Spring and then go to Medicine God Valley, he should be able to reach the late stage or the final stage of the Grand Completion Realm.

Then, it was very likely that he would be able to open a passage to return to earth and reunite with his family. This was the first time that he actually felt that he was so close to home.

After Li Zhen and Li Mengyao left the palace, they didn’t take any guards with them. They rushed out of Dragon City together and didn’t know that Qin Haodong was secretly following them.

About two hours later, they arrived at a mountain range. The Spiritual Qi here was richer and denser. It was where the Dragon Spiritual Spring was located.

“What are you doing here?”

As soon as they approached, a middle-aged man in his fifties came up with more than a dozen guards. He was Zhou Kun, the leader of these guards, who was in charge of guarding the Dragon Spiritual Spring.

Qin Haodong was immediately on his guard when he saw this person. Zhou Kun was actually a master at the middle stage of the Grand Completion Realm.

However, the person who was in charge of guarding the Rosefinch Spiritual Spring was only at the final stage of the Combination Realm. After doing a comparison, the strength gap between the two kingdoms was clear.

Li Zhen said, “General Zhou, it’s me.”

Zhou Kun recognized Li Zhen and Li Mengyao. He hurried forward and said, “I greet your highnesses.”

“Well, you go on with what you are doing. We are here to cultivate.”

“Your Highness, please come with me.”

Zhou Kun led them into the Dragon Spiritual Spring.

Qin Haodong was using an Invisibility Talisman. Then, he tried his best to hide his aura and followed them quietly.

The Dragon Spiritual Spring was the largest spiritual spring in the entire Lingwu Continent. In terms of size, it was twice the size of the Rosefinch Spiritual Spring. The Spiritual Qi here was much denser than that of the Rosefinch Spiritual Spring.

After arriving at the top of the spiritual spring, Li Zhen said, “You can leave first. We’re going to start cultivating.”

“Yes, Your Highness. I’ll stay around. Just call me if you need anything.”

Zhou Kun left, but he didn’t go far. He placed a tea table outside the Dragon Spiritual Spring and sat there quietly drinking tea.

After all, the prince and the princess were cultivating here. He had to pay much more attention and couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.

“Mengyao, let’s begin cultivating and strive to improve to the next level.”

After that, Li Zhen sat cross-legged above the spiritual spring and was ready to enter the cultivation state.

However, right after he closed his eyes, someone hit him hard on the back of his head. Then, he lost consciousness.

Li Mengyao sensed that there was something wrong and looked over. Before she could clearly see what was going on, she was unconscious after being knocked out.
