Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 203 Qin Wu's Scheme, News Arrives from Western Zhou

After obtaining the items, Liu Feng went directly to the Divine Martial King's Mansion.

Qin Wu had just returned to the palace; he had gone there when Liu Feng and the others made their move.

However, he remained hidden in the air, quietly watching everything below.

He had also gained an understanding of the strength of the outer sect of the Immortal Sect, and he wouldn't even consider such strength a threat.

Even if it were that newly arrived outer sect elder, it wouldn't be difficult for Liu Feng and the others to kill him.

His understanding of the power of heaven and earth is far inferior to that of Liu Feng and others.

If it weren't for Liu Feng and the others deliberately concealing their strength in order to lower the Immortal Sect's guard against them...

However, after this incident, the Immortal Sect will likely send an inner sect elder.

He would then assess the strength of the inner sect elders. If they were still inferior to Liu Feng and the others, he would feel at ease leading his troops into battle.

After we've dealt with Japan, we can slowly play around with the Immortal Sect.

Just as Qin Wu was pondering, Liu Feng walked in.

"Your Highness, the items have been brought back."

Liu Feng reported back and placed the things he had just stolen from the Immortal Sect... no, taken from them, in front of Qin Wu.

"Yes, you've worked hard. Go and rest now."

Qin Wu didn't ask any more questions, since he had seen everything and there was no need to ask any more.

"Yes, then I'll take my leave."

After finishing his sentence, Liu Feng left the study.

Qin Wu opened the box, inside which were fifty exquisite jade bottles.

Each bottle is labeled, making it easy to tell what kind of pills they contain.

To be honest, this was the first time Qin Wu had ever seen elixirs in a real sense. Compared to these elixirs, the ones his subordinates had refined before were just some pills.

He casually picked up a jade bottle, opened it, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Just smelling it is invigorating.

"This is a good thing. I didn't expect the Immortal Sect to have such a good thing. We should let the people of Poison Doctor Valley study it carefully. If they can figure it out, it will be good news for us."

Qin Wu couldn't help but sigh.

This also deepened my understanding of the Immortal Sect.

Then I took out a few other items to look at, and they were all good things.

No wonder the people from the Immortal Sect were able to recover so quickly; with the help of these elixirs, it would be strange if they didn't recover fast.

However, he didn't believe that the people from the Immortal Sect had only brought this few pills with them this time.

In particular, there are only six mid-grade breakthrough pills here, and only ten pills to help with cultivation. The rest are detoxification pills and healing medicines.

The Immortal Sect came this time to help the clan improve its strength. They only have five mid-grade Breakthrough Pills, which can only help six people break through. However, adding six early-stage Grandmaster experts will not have any effect.

Especially knowing that Dong Qin possessed a powerful figure who had comprehended the power of heaven and earth.

"Looks like you're not being honest! But no rush, as long as the items are here, they're all mine."

Qin Wu smiled dismissively.

He truly looked down on the Immortal Sect's petty tricks.

These people have really been cultivating in the sect for too long, and they've even forgotten how to use scheming and trickery.

It would be incredibly easy to destroy people like that.

However, it is clear that the Immortal Sect's bottom line has not yet been reached, and Qin Wu is prepared to give it another try.

The next day.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

"I pay my respects to the prince."

Concubine Qiao Danxue arrived at the study and immediately knelt down to pay her respects to Qin Wu.

"No need for formalities, please rise and sit down."

Qin Wu said with a smile.

Now, Qiao Danxue has completely submitted to Qin Wu and no longer has the arrogance she once had, which makes Qin Wu very satisfied with her.

Because of Qiao Danxue, Poison Doctor Valley received a lot of rewards from Qin Wu, which greatly enhanced the strength of Poison Doctor Valley. They even used a total of four Grandmaster-level experts.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jordan Xue got up and sat down to the side.

"Yu Shu, show the item to Consort Qiao."

Qin Wu gestured to the jade book.

Yu Shu immediately brought out a tray with five jade bottles on it, containing the pills that Liu Feng and the others had brought back the night before.

There are five kinds of pills in total.

Jordan Xue was a little curious about what these were, so she randomly picked up one of the bottles and opened it.

Smell it.

"Good stuff, is this a medicinal pill?"

Jordan Xue's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

As a member of the Poison Doctor Valley, she knew about elixirs. The pills they refined were imitations of elixirs recorded in the sect's ancient books, but they were not real elixirs.

"Yes, from the Immortal Sect."

"Here are five kinds of pills. I'll give them to your Poison Doctor Valley to study and see if you can replicate them. They don't need to have the exact same effects, just the same functions."

"Of course, it's okay if we can't figure it out, since this kind of thing is probably only found in the Immortal Sect these days."

Qin Wu nodded and said to Qiao Danxue.

If Poison Doctor Valley could replicate it, that would be fantastic news for him.

Especially those pills that increase cultivation speed.

As for the mid-grade breakthrough pill, Qin Wu had no hope whatsoever.

After all, such a pill must require a special method to refine, and the materials used in its refinement are probably not easy to find.

"Your Highness, I understand. I will gather the elders of the sect to come to the palace to study this matter and strive to find a solution as soon as possible."

Jordan Xue said excitedly.

She had long wanted to see the elixir, but unfortunately, it had long become a legend.

She never expected to see it today, and even have the opportunity to study it. For someone like her who is obsessed with medicine and poison, it is incredibly attractive.

"Go!"

Qin Wu smiled helplessly as he looked at Qiao Danxue, whose eyes were gleaming.

Each of his women truly has their own hobbies.

In other people's backyards, there's always backstabbing and infighting, but in his backyard, there's none of that. Even if he doesn't go looking for them, they won't come up to him, and the women get along quite harmoniously.

This left Qin Wu speechless.

After listening to Qin Wu's words, Qiao Danxue bowed, took the pills, and ran away.

Yes, that's right, it ran away, and Qin Wu was speechless at its speed.

"Yu Shu, notify the secret guards to continue keeping an eye on the Immortal Sect and the six major clans. Report any actions immediately. Also, if they give any pills to the six major clans, have the secret guards seize them."

"Those are all my possessions, they cannot be wasted."

Qin Wu then gave instructions to Yu Shu.

"Yes, this servant will go and inform the guards immediately."

Yu Shu accepted the order and left.

After that, Qin Wu stopped paying attention to what was happening outside.

However, a group of people secretly entered the capital and went directly to the imperial palace.

A message also reached the ears of the Western Zhou Empress.

"Your Majesty, the Eastern Qin Dynasty has made moves on the border. We suspect they are preparing to attack our Western Zhou."

The messenger reported to the Empress of Western Zhou.

"What? Our two countries are negotiating, how dare they?"

The Western Zhou empress did not expect that the Eastern Qin would make a move at this time.

Aren't they afraid of the Immortal Sect?

"Your Majesty, this news is absolutely correct. After extensive investigation, we found that Dong Qin has mobilized a large amount of grain and military equipment. If they are not planning to send troops, there is absolutely no need for them. The cabinet's idea is for Your Majesty to test the waters and see what Dong Qin intends to do."

"Furthermore, according to our investigation, this order was issued by the Divine Martial King of Eastern Qin."

The men in black reported the results of their investigation to the Empress of Western Zhou.

If it were anyone else, or even the Emperor of Eastern Qin, they probably wouldn't be afraid. At most, they would just put pressure on them, trying to force them to make concessions in the negotiations.

However, the order given by the legendary Divine Martial King of Eastern Qin is another matter entirely.

After all, the Divine Martial King is notoriously crazy, and he's capable of doing anything insane.

"I understand. Since you've come, you may stay, but you must remain hidden."

"I will find a way to handle the rest. You may all leave now!"

The Western Zhou Empress took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and then dismissed the man in black.

She needs to think carefully about what to do next.
