Chapter 14 The Little Prince's Visit

  These past few days, Chu Hao had not been in contact with that "all-knowing and all-powerful" artifact spirit Chen Honghong. Instead, he had Xiao Si prepare a large amount of refined iron and materials, as well as a tripod furnace, preparing to use his own strength to refine it.

  He also took the time to let Xiao Si go and ask around, and bought a few ordinary weapons back. He found that one of the best ironwork shops in Xianglong City, "Lingfeng Pavilion", only made ordinary weapons, without being tempered by spiritual fire, and without any spiritual energy.

  But this "Lingfeng Pavilion" top-grade weapon is also worth selling for a hundred taels of silver.

  This made Chu Hao even more curious about the craftsman who was deeply hidden in the palace, and at the same time, he had even higher expectations for his own career.

  What is most needed to survive now? From the perspective of power, there are cheap old masters and distant kings. At present, what is most needed is naturally money. Anyway, with Chu Hao's current cultivation, it is impossible to drive a magic weapon, even if it is a first-class magic weapon, it will be sold out after refining!

  When the time comes, gold and silver will fill the pot, and even in dreams, one will wake up with a smile.

  For this reason, Chu Hao specially chose a miscellaneous goods house in Lingyue Garden, which was located in a remote area. After cleaning it up, he could refine his instruments here without being disturbed by others.

  Refining artifacts and alchemy, in the cultivation world, have always been the most profitable yet costly professions. Chu Hao was not skilled in refining medicine, but once he started refining artifacts, haha, even he himself couldn't imagine it!

  Just as everything was in place and the refining process began, the Purple Dragon Fruit indeed had an accelerating effect!

  What he needs now is a shocking debut. It's said that there will be a flower lantern festival in the capital city a month later, which can be used as an opportunity to put the refined artifact into use.

  However, the Purple Dragon Fire was a top-grade furnace fire after all, and this furnace was just an ordinary object. Chu Hao spent an entire night forging the sword embryo, and with full confidence, he threw it into the furnace to activate the Purple Dragon Fire for less than ten minutes. "Bang!"

  The stove suddenly exploded!

  To think that Chu Hao has only just regained his spiritual fire, and the quality of this spiritual fire is not as high as it was in his past life. But even so, this furnace can't withstand it, what will happen next?

  Looking at the mess on the ground, Chu Hao's heart was bleeding.

  Behave! This is half a year's worth of salary for me! I was still hoping to make more money from it!

  The explosion naturally startled the servants in Lingyue Garden, and it was just early morning. Chu Hao had ordered them not to approach casually before this. Chu Hao rubbed his hair with both hands, thinking about what to do next. Should he really agree to Chen Honghong's shameless conditions, find repair materials for him, and use the Hunyuan Cauldron?

  If it were a perfect and intact Hunyuan Ding, Chu Hao would naturally agree a thousand times, but now the Hunyuan Ding is only at the level of a six-grade treasure, and Chen Honghong's words are half true and half false. With the burden of life on it, Chu Hao found it difficult to make a decision.

  Just then, Xiao Si's footsteps rushed over from outside.

  "Leave me alone, I'm fine!" Chu Hao said hastily.

  "No, no!" Little Fourth said somewhat flusteredly: "Young Master Wang, it's, it's the young prince who has come to visit!"

  Little Prince's Visit!

  Little Emperor?

  Which scallion is this?

  Chu Hao searched through the prince's memories and finally recalled that this young emperor was one of the outstanding young people in the Tai Zi Party of the capital, and also Chu Hao's imperial younger brother, named Chu Dongliu. This year he seemed to have just turned sixteen years old, and spent his days idly without learning or skills. Among several princes and princesses, only he and the prince were close, but this closeness did not mean that their relationship was good, on the contrary, it meant that their relationship was very bad!

  In the Beijing Prince Party, this little prince Chu Dongliu and the heir Chu Hao are leader-level representatives, with a group of henchmen and fox friends, often competing for wind and vinegar, making a big fuss.

  Chu Hao immediately stood up with a solemn expression after recalling the identity of the young prince. He also wanted to see what kind of moral character this representative figure of the aristocratic circle was. After adjusting his clothes, Chu Hao glanced at the storage room and ordered that no one else be allowed to approach before walking towards the grand hall with a spirited gait.

  As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a handsome young man wearing a luxurious dark blue silk shirt sitting on the soft couch, slowly sipping tea. The little prince was almost a year younger than Chu Hao, but when Chu Hao looked at him again, he found that his height was no less than his own. Although there was a hint of evil and recklessness on his face, he still exuded an aura of nobility and wealth that was hard to ignore, indeed the blood of the royal family.

  What surprised Chu Hao even more was that this little prince was not an ordinary person, but a martial artist who had already reached the ninth layer of refining his bones! To know that Chu Hao had never cultivated any immortal Taoist methods, but as a refiner, his eyesight and divine consciousness were extremely sharp, and having studied the division of cultivation in this world for several days, he could see it at a glance.

  At the age of sixteen, he is almost at the level of a master craftsman. Although this young prince's talent is not as good as that of the crown prince, it can be considered above average. It doesn't seem to match the image of the brainless and spoiled prince in my memory!

  After Chu Hao came in, the little prince seemed to have not noticed him at all, but was instead chatting and laughing with a maid who was pouring tea beside him, making the maid's face turn bright red.

  Damn it! She's even running to my house now, how dare she!

  Chu Hao thought to himself, but on the surface, he smiled and sat down beside the young prince, taking his hand and said sincerely: "Younger brother, I was thinking of you, how did you have time to come visit me today?" As he spoke, he waved his hand at the maid and said: "You go down, Xiao Wang has something to discuss with the prince!"

  The maid nodded and reluctantly looked at the young prince for a moment before quietly withdrawing.

  The young prince was taken aback, and when Chu Hao pulled his hand, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. To think that the former crown prince had never been so affectionate with him before.

  The young prince looked at Chu Hao with a hint of mockery in his eyes and said, "I heard that my brother had a fright during his outing the other day, so..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Hao, who gazed at him with deep emotions.

  "So, Imperial Brother has come to see me? Ah, it's truly moving that Imperial Brother has this kind of heart. You can rest assured, Imperial Brother will not let anything happen to himself for your sake! As he spoke, he stroked the young emperor's hand and said with a nauseating tone: "However, you should pay more attention to resting. Your complexion is pale, and your eyes are lifeless. It must be that you've been overindulging in certain activities. I'm not opposed to you doing those things, but you must have self-control, right? You're still young. If you had a robust body like mine, I wouldn't say anything to you..."

  The young prince was so angry with Chu Hao that he almost drew his sword, and after hearing his words, he wanted to kill this shameless king on the spot!

  Looking at Chu Hao's ambiguous and disgusting face, the young prince quickly turned his head, suppressed the urge to explode, withdrew his hand, and smiled awkwardly: "Brother is right, I'll remember!"

  Witnessing the young prince's reaction, Chu Hao couldn't help but laugh inwardly. As if he hadn't seen the young prince's defensive movement, he leaned in closer to his body, with a self-satisfied yet awkward smile, and continued: "Younger brother has come today, is there anything else?"

  The young prince was leaning against Chu Hao, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body. After hearing this, a flash of anger crossed his face, and he sneered: "Brother is really a cheap person who forgets things..." Before the words fell, Chu Hao had already put an arm around the young prince's shoulder and leaned against him, looking at the young prince's stunned face, Chu Hao said: "You continue, don't mind me!"

  The young prince felt uncomfortable all over, shifted his position, but still couldn't get rid of Chu Hao's arm. He didn't dare use his internal force, so he finally stood up, with a furious expression, saying: "Brother, please pay attention to your demeanor and your identity! We are all princes and grandsons, hugging and embracing each other is not dignified!"

  Chu Hao's face was shocked, and he said: "Why is the imperial brother angry? Where did I, the imperial brother, not behave properly? The two brothers being close to each other seems to be a matter of course, what does it have to do with behavior?"

  The young prince Jun's face turned red, but he couldn't think of a retort. Today, this little king seemed to be different from before. In the past, when the two met, they would immediately engage in a war of words, but today, his royal brother's performance was far beyond his expectations. Although he still looked arrogant and rude, his behavior made people feel chilled to the bone, unable to understand what was going on.

  Isn't he scared silly?!

  The young prince also lost his patience to continue talking with him, coldly staring at Chu Hao, saying: "Brother, have you forgotten? This afternoon we still have a competition on the Gathering Clouds Pavilion!"

  "What's a duel?" Chu Hao thought for a moment and seemed to recall that there was no information about duels in the prince's memories, so he asked doubtfully: "What is a duel?"

  "Of course, it's the showdown between your General who Shakes the World and my Wind and Cloud Sword God!" The young prince sneered at Chu Hao's pretentious act: "Brother, you're not afraid of losing, so you deliberately forgot and didn't dare to come, are you?"

  World-Shaking General?

  Which of Lao Zi's subordinates has such an awesome name?! Is it a congenital master?!

  Is it still the foundation period?

  Suddenly, Chu Hao's eyes lit up as he quickly searched his mind and finally remembered!

  Forget it, let's just leave it like this for this week...
