Looking at Zhu Wuyang, who had picked up the delicacies and was heading to the study to eat, Lai Chun and Chu Xia looked at each other with confusion in their bright eyes.
“What happened to His Highness 168th? He actually burned his own bed. This incense wooden bed is expensive. It’s said that it’s carved from a thousand-year-old fragrant wood. Each one is worth ten thousand gold, what a pity.” Lai Chun whispered as she cleaned up the remains of the incense wooden bed.
Chu Xia frowned slightly. “Could it be because the previous Crown Prince died on an incense wooden bed? His Highness 168th was afraid, so he burned this incense wooden bed?”
“That’s very likely.” Lai Chun nodded. “His Highness 168th is really pitiful. He doesn’t even dare to sleep on the bed in his bedroom. No wonder everyone says that he’s weak, incompetent, and timid. It seems that it’s true.”
Chu Xia thought for a moment. “Lai Chun, should we report this to Chief Fu?”
“Of course we have to report it. Didn’t Chief Steward Fu tell us to tell him everything about His Highness 168th in detail?” Lai Chun said, “By the way, did you investigate His Highness 168th’s strength just now? It’s still at the mid-stage of the Tendons Refinement realm, right?”
Chu Xia nodded. “That’s right. He’s still in the Mid-stage of the Tendons Refinement realm. Compared to before, he hasn’t made any progress. Obviously, His Highness hasn’t cultivated for the past two days.”
Chu Xia’s strength had already reached the Inner Qi Seed realm and was about to step into the Earth Gate realm. As long as she could break through to the Earth Gate realm, she could advance to the Meridian Forging Realm.
If not for the fact that Zhu Wuyang had cultivated the top-notch concealment secret technique, Azure Dragon Concealment Art, and was about to advance to the Lesser Mastery stage, he probably would not have been able to hide from Chu Xia’s detection.
“Congratulations, host. This is the second time in your life that someone has spoken ill of you behind your back. You have received 200 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations to the host for being betrayed by your subordinate for the first time in your life. You have received 400 breakthrough points…”
“Congratulations to the host for successfully surviving the first crisis in your life. You have obtained 4,000 breakthrough points…”
… .
Just as he closed the study door, a series of mechanical reminders sounded in Zhu Wuyang’s ears. This made Zhu Wuyang heave a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a bitter smile flashed across his face.
Although he had successfully survived a crisis and Lai Chun and Chu Xia did not detect his true strength and brought him death, the benefits he obtained from saving himself were too much.
If nothing unexpected happened, the breakthrough points awarded this time should be enough for him to advance his strength to the Golden Bones Refinement realm.
The Qi and blood refined by the Grand Earth Limitless Technique was known as the Qi and blood of the earth. It meant that it was as vast and powerful as the earth, far surpassing ordinary body tempering martial arts.
The breakthrough points of about 4,000 transformed into a considerable amount of strange power. Under the effect of the Grand Earth Limitless Technique, it transformed into pure and powerful Earth Qi and blood, forming a fog of Qi and blood that covered the sky and sun, seeping into Zhu Wuyang’s body.
The Earth Qi and blood passed through his skin, his muscles, his veins… and surged into every bone in his body.
Thanks to the previous waves of breakthrough points, Zhu Wuyang’s strength had already reached the limit of the Tendons Refinement realm. Next was to break through to the next realm.

The skin, muscles, and tendons that had been tempered to perfection effectively wrapped around the Earth Qi and blood, tempering it towards the bones, allowing the bones to effectively absorb the Earth Qi and blood.
If one’s skin, muscles, and tendons were not tempered to perfection, not only would they not be able to help in the refinement of the bones, but it would also affect the refinement of the bones. It would even leave hidden dangers for martial artists. If it erupted in the future, the consequences would be unimaginable.
A portion of the Earth Qi and blood transformed into a huge hammer under the effect of the Earth Infinite Technique, constantly hammering every bone, making them even harder and more flexible.
The other part of his Qi and blood fused into his bones, nourishing the bones that had been damaged by the hammering. As he destroyed them, he repaired them, constantly breaking them before rebuilding, allowing his bones to rapidly improve. He was getting closer and closer to breaking through to the next realm.
As the blood essence of the Earth hammered, tempered, and nourished, specks of golden light gradually appeared on the originally white bones. This was a sign that the bones had undergone preliminary tempering. This also meant that Zhu Wuyang’s strength had stepped into a new stage.
Early stage of Golden Bones Refinement!
“Congratulations to the host for stepping into the early stage of Golden Bones Refinement for the first time in your life. You have obtained 800 breakthrough points…”
To be honest, such strength was not too strong compared to Zhu Wuyang’s age. He was even considered weak among his peers.
It had to be known that in the Jiu Zhao Nation, even martial artists from ordinary families could advance to the Tendons Refinement stage at the age of 17. Many children from slightly richer families could even break through to the Golden Bones Refinement stage at the age of 17.
Not to mention those rich and powerful people. As long as their children were not stupid, they would be able to advance to the Golden Bones Refinement Realm by the age of 17. As for those geniuses, there was no need to mention them. After more than 10 years of bitter cultivation, they could at least step into the Five Viscera Refinement and even the Bone Marrow refinement realm.
However, this was the Imperial Palace of the Jiu Zhao Nation, the residence of the Mad Emperor, Zhu Zhenwu. As Zhu Zhenwu’s children, not to mention stepping into the Golden Bones Refinement realm at the age of 17, even stepping into the Golden Bones Refinement realm at the age of 20 was too fast. It was very likely that they would be killed.
Therefore, Zhu Wuyang’s cultivation speed at this moment was not just fast in the Jiu Zhao Imperial Palace, but too fast… It was simply like riding a rocket.
At this moment, Zhu Wuyang could definitely be considered a super genius in the Jiu Zhao Imperial Palace. He was almost unique.
If Zhu Zhenwu knew about Zhu Wuyang’s true cultivation level, his position as the Crown Prince would definitely not last for a month.
As for the other Princes and Princesses, even if they had the best cultivation conditions in the entire Jiu Zhao Nation, their strength was generally inferior to ordinary martial artists of the same age outside.
As for why that was the case, they naturally had to ask themselves!

When many Princes and Princesses schemed against each other, they did not use poison to harm. Instead, they tried to dope each other with various colorless and odorless heavenly treasures.
Once the other Princes and Princesses mistakenly consumed these natural treasures, their strength would soar. At that time, if this matter was exposed to the Mad Emperor, it was very likely that these Princes and Princesses would be killed.
Therefore, the huge Nine Brilliance Imperial Palace could be said to be filled with killing intent. There were countless natural treasures. They were all painstakingly saved by many Princes and Princesses to frame their opponents.
There were more breakthrough points in this wave. Even though he had already stepped into the early-stage of the Golden Bones Refinement Realm, there were still a lot of breakthrough points that he had yet to digest. Zhu Wuyang continued to absorb them.
The fog-like blood qi in his body had already transformed into clouds of blood qi. Whether it was the purity or the thickness, they had increased by several times. The powerful blood qi naturally brought Zhu Wuyang greater benefits, allowing his strength to increase even faster.
