The Eternal World

It was unknown how long Zhang Chao and the beggar had discussed in secret in the room.

Finally, the soundproofing barrier was removed, and old beggar walked out of the room with a cloth bag in hand, his face red.

The crystal chip in the cloth bag would at least be enough for him to squander for a while longer.

Zhang Chao sat on the bed in the room and crossed his hands under his chin as he looked outside the window while deep in thought.

The old beggar seemed to have done a thorough study of the Rushing Thunder Empire and told Zhang Chao about the overall situation of the empire.

If one wanted to obtain the qualifications to use the Teleportation Circle, there was no other way. They could only sneak into the higher ups of the empire to obtain Ben Leizi's trust and become one of the higher ups.

But the specific method was to sneak into the dynasty in a short period of time and gain Ben Leizi's trust. This was the key and the most important.

Although the old beggar didn't tell him exactly what to do, the information and analysis he had received was extremely valuable.

Zhang Chao also believed that the money he had spent was not in vain.

It was worth it!

What he needed to do now was to open the gap, and by some means, to open the gap. That was it!

"It's said that Ben Leizi really likes to refine pills, and even likes to develop some special pills. His final goal is to refine some kind of immortal medicine …."

"Perhaps this can be the breakthrough point..."

"But... How can I let them know about me, and on the premise that I'm very low key at that? "

Zhang Chao rubbed his chin, he did not plan on bringing up his reputation in Rushing Thunder City, and then sending his fame into the palace through the mouths of the commoners. Although this method was the most stable one, it would take a very long time to do so.

He couldn't wait, and he didn't have the patience!

Therefore, he had to think of a foolproof plan to let Ben Leizi find out earlier …

This not only required luck, but also some tricks!

In the next few days, Zhang Chao did not do anything, he just strolled around the city everyday.

To him, as long as he had the money to stay in the restaurant, he would be fine. There was no need to spend anything else.

He was looking for an opportunity.

At the same time, he was trying to gather as much information as possible.

Finally, after ten days, the opportunity he had been looking for came.

It was said that the First Prince of the Rushing Thunder Empire was going out to hunt.

This was an excellent opportunity.

Of course, if something were to happen to the First Prince, it would probably be very difficult. After all, the Rushing Thunder Empire was in the vicinity of tens of thousands of miles, and when the First Prince moved, there would definitely be a gathering of experts. Even if someone wanted to harm the First Prince, it would be very difficult for them to succeed.

However, Zhang Chao had no way of infiltrating their empire, he could only rely on the First Prince to do some research.

Without a chance, he could create one!

The First Prince's journey was awe-inspiring and grand.

He sat on a large horse with two black armored guards on his left and right. They gave off a powerful aura as a warning for all nearby people to stay away from him.

Behind him were guards and elites from the empire. Each and every one of them had powerful cultivations and were all killing machines that had been nurtured since they were young.

At the end, there were a few carriages. It was like a living quarters with all the daily necessities.

This group directly walked out from the south gate and headed south. It was said that their destination was the royal hunting grounds five hundred miles away, Hidden Lightning Mountain.

Hidden Thunder Mountain had already been named as the royal hunting ground for tens of thousands of years. Not only was it a place for the imperial family to relax, it was also said that it was the place where Ben Leizi grew up.

It was rumored that Ben Leizi had obtained an ancient treasure in Hidden Lightning Mountain and instantly soared to the heavens, thus achieving his current achievements. As a result, he not only treated Hidden Lightning Mountain as the imperial backyard, but also as a sacred place.

Zhang Chao immediately used his stealth technique, and followed the back of the hunting party.

He had temporarily learned this method from the black clothed man under the Shi Yue City City Lord. He did not expect it to become useful so quickly.

However, when it was used on Zhang Chao, the effects were countless times stronger than when it was used on the black clothed man.

After a few days, the First Prince's team had finally reached Hidden Lightning Mountain.

The entire mountain did indeed have a sacred aura.

From afar, the mountain ranges rose and fell. On the peak of the mountain, there were flashes of thunder that could be vaguely seen.

Furthermore, the elemental energy within the mountain was dense, making it a good place for cultivation.

Because of this, there were many birds and beasts, and many rare and precious beasts lived in the mountains.

"Alright, tonight, first find a suitable place to set up camp on the outskirts of the mountain. Tomorrow morning when we enter the mountain, this prince is going to hunt more precious beasts, especially the Nine-Eyed Spider's silk sac and the Seven Clawed Spirit Fox's fur. As a birthday present, on the birthday present for Mother next month, offer it to Queen Mother!" The First Prince, who was sitting on the tallest horse in the front, gave the order with a wave of his hand.

The First Prince was dressed in a golden military uniform. His cultivation base was around the middle stage of the Acacia and his figure was thin.

At his command, his men immediately scattered and quickly set up dozens of tents on a nearby flat piece of ground.

These tents were built according to the ring, with the First Prince's residence in the centre perfectly protected by the surroundings.

Night gradually approached.

After the First Prince and the others had eaten and drank for half the night, they all went to bed.

The night was getting deeper and deeper.

There were several groups of guards who were constantly patrolling the surroundings of the camp to ensure the First Prince's absolute safety.

"The chance has come!" Zhang Chao hid in the darkness and couldn't help but lick his lips.

Although the guards were quite strong, he did not place them in his eyes at all.

He approached stealthily like a phantom, easily dodging the gazes of the guards and arriving before the First Prince's tent.

"The First Prince … For the sake of some plans, I can only start with you! " He licked his lips and took out a paper bag from his pocket and opened it.

Inside the paper was some light green powder.

With a light shake of his hand, all the powder flew into the tent. The instant it came into contact with the First Prince's body, it silently entered his skin.

After doing all this, Zhang Chao left without anyone noticing, waiting for dawn to break.

He had drugged the First Prince.

This was also the opportunity that he had planned to create.

That green powder was a type of medicinal pill that he had personally researched and created. It was called Green Luan Pill.

Speaking of which, this Green Wolf Pill was unintentionally refined.

Originally, he had planned to refine a pill that would greatly adjust his vital energy and blood. If a person was severely injured and their vital energy and blood were at a disadvantage, consuming this pill would allow them to instantly recover their vital energy and blood to normal values.

Once one's vital energy and blood recovered, they would be able to stimulate the various functions of their body, allowing their injuries to heal at a much faster rate.

But when the pill was developed, he felt that he had failed.

That's right, the Green Lava Pill could indeed recover one's vital energy and blood, but it was only used on heavily injured people. Moreover, it could not cure the root of the injury and would greatly overdraft the injured person's body, thus achieving the opposite effect.

Moreover, if it was used by a normal person … This caused a huge commotion.

Excessive Qi and blood would cause the blood vessels in the body to expand, triggering internal bleeding, disrupting the Qi and blood in the heart, and disrupting the circulation of the elemental energy in the dantian.

Simply put, it would set an ordinary person on fire. If the anger was so great, it could burn down their internal organs, causing their muscles and veins to burst and ultimately lead to death!

A good medicine could turn into a lethal poison.

Moreover, ordinary methods would not be able to resolve this situation. Only an alchemist grandmaster would have the chance to do so.

Even if Ben Leizi had the ability to detoxify the poison, he wouldn't allow it in time …

Therefore, Zhang Chao was very confident that his plan could go smoothly.

… ….

Early the next morning, from the First Prince's tent, a series of blood-curdling screams rang out.

This scream scared the surrounding guards and they quickly ran out.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" This … "What's going on?" The First Prince ran out of the tent in panic. His skin was as red as fire, and all his veins were bulging as they coiled around his body.

White smoke seeped out of his seven orifices, making him look extremely sinister.

"Your Highness, what kind of cultivation technique is this?" A guard asked in surprise.

"Cultivation my ass, this..." I don't know what's going on, but I feel like my body is going to explode. My internal organs are on fire, hurry up, think of a way! " The First Prince wailed in agony.

"What should I do? Imperial Physician? Imperial Physician? "Come quickly!" The guards turned pale with fright as they hurriedly shouted.

Soon, a white-haired old man came out of a nearby tent and quickly walked toward them.

After sizing up the First Prince from head to toe, the old man's eyes widened, "Your Highness, you …"

"Why the fuck are you asking? Hurry up, I'm going to die!" The First Prince hollered at the top of his lungs.

"Oh, good, good!" The old man hurriedly raised his hand to feel the First Prince's pulse.

However, the moment his hand touched the First Prince's wrist, he felt a burning sensation.

He tried his best to hold on as he broke out in cold sweat, "How can this be? How could this be? "

"What's going on? Hurry up and say it! " The guard next to him shouted.

"This... "This..." The old man trembled as he said, "Within His Highness' body, his blood was boiling as if it was on fire. This is clearly a sign that he has been poisoned!"

"What?" Dark poison? How was this possible? We were heavily guarded last night, and did not detect anything suspicious at all! " Everyone was puzzled.

"This old one does not know the exact reason behind this, and … With such a hidden poison, this old one, with his shallow knowledge, really could not find any clues, let alone any ways to treat it! " The old man said while sweating like a pig.

"What should I do?" Everyone looked at each other.

"Quick! Quickly tell my royal father that he can definitely save me!" The First Prince hurriedly shouted.

"Your Highness, in this old man's opinion … I am afraid we can't wait for the king to come and save you. In at most an hour, you'll … " The old man sighed again and again.

"What?" In another hour, I will die? " The First Prince's face was filled with shock, "No, I can't die. I'm the First Prince, and in the future, I'll have to inherit the throne. I'll be the future ruler of this dynasty. How can I die like this?"
