Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 148

[Chapter 148: Collect Interest]

Lin Xiu has been living comfortably for the past half month.

Mainly because Qin Wan is at home, she cleans the house every day, prepares meals in the morning, noon, and evening, and occasionally asks Lin Xiu if he wants to have a midnight snack.

This feeling of having someone to serve you at any time is like a dream.

Lin Xiu knew that she didn’t have extra money to pay him rent, so she used this method to repay him.

She is also a person who is not willing to take advantage of others.

After a long time, even Lingyin was embarrassed to be cold to her.

Secondly, in the past half month, his progress in cultivation has been exaggerated.

Now, he is only one barrier away from the upper realm of the Xuan level.

It is really God’s favor. This thunderstorm lasted for half a month. The effect of conventional thunder-inducing cultivation is naturally far less than that. But people with thunder power like Li Baizhang can’t fly into the thundercloud to practice like Lin Xiu.

If being able to fly is not enough, one must also have the ability to recover, otherwise, before one’s cultivation level breaks through, one will be blasted into slag by the thousands of thunderbolts.

Unfortunately, starting today, the sky in the capital has cleared up.

If this weather continues for a few more days, Lin Xiu may be able to break through the realm by force with the help of thunderbolts.

His accumulation of Yuanli is enough, and what he needs to do now is to break through the bottleneck.

Theoretically, the Yuanjing of a fourth-level alien beast costs 10,000 taels. Because of its rarity, the market price will fluctuate upward by 2,000 or even 3,000 taels. If Lin Xiu needs ten to break through the realm, then at least 130,000 taels of silver must be prepared.

In the past few months, the profits he has received from the two shops are not that much.

Compared with the progress of the alien arts, what surprised and surprised Lin Xiu the most was the martial arts.

Half a month ago, his martial arts cultivation was still at the upper level of the yellow level. Although he has been practicing martial arts very hard during this period and has made great progress every day, he is still a long way from the mysterious level.

In just half a month, under the tempering of thunder, his martial arts cultivation also made rapid progress. He had already surpassed the other arts and crossed a great realm to enter the upper realm of the Xuan level. It

only took him half a year to close the gap with those martial arts geniuses.

Next, with his basic talent that was not inferior to theirs, and several times more practice time every day than them, they would only be left further and further behind by him.

In terms of the other arts, he had not yet caught up with Lingyin and Princess Minghe, and was even further behind Zhao Lingjun, but Lin Xiu was not in a hurry. The most urgent thing was to reach the upper realm of the Xuan level first.

Lin Xiu first changed his appearance and went to a shop selling Yuanjing, intending to buy a few fourth-level Yuanjing to try. What

if he was lucky and succeeded in one go?

But to his surprise, he went to several shops and got the same answer: none of these shops had fourth-level Yuanjing.

Fourth-level Yuanjing was indeed precious, but it was not so rare that none of these shops had any. After asking in detail, Lin Xiu learned that someone had bought all the fourth-level Yuanjing from all the major shops in the capital in recent days.

There are still many wealthy people in the capital. Needless to say, there must be someone like Lin Xiu who has reached the bottleneck of the third level and needs to use the fourth-level exotic beast’s Yuan Crystal to break through the realm. If

he wants to break through, he can only wait for the new Yuan Crystal to arrive.

At this time, the East Palace.

The prince opened a brocade box and saw the things in the box. He was delighted and said to a man, “Thank my uncle for me.”

The man said, “The master said that these five-level exotic beast Yuan Crystals are very expensive. The master collected them from Daluo, Dayu and other countries. In addition, the fourth-level Yuan Crystals were also bought out by the master from the stocks of major stores in the capital. Your Highness must hurry up to practice and enter the earth level earlier than King Qi. Don’t let the master down.”

The prince said, “I know, I will definitely improve my cultivation as soon as possible.”

After the man left, the prince opened the brocade box again and took a look. On the soft cloth in the brocade box, there were dozens of diamond-shaped transparent crystals. Five of them looked bigger. These were five-level Yuan Crystals worth 100,000 taels of silver each. It was

also his hope to be promoted to the earth level.

He was very clear about his talent. Although he had the ability of the Heaven Rank and his talent was not bad, he still could not compare with those true geniuses of the strange arts.

Compared with the geniuses of the Heaven Rank of the Strange Arts Academy, he was a step behind.

Compared with Zhao Lingjun, he was even worse.

Zhao Lingjun entered the Earth Rank at the age of fourteen, while he was already twenty-four years old. Relying on countless resources, he barely touched the threshold of the Earth Rank, and he had to rely on Yuan Jing to break through. Zhao Lingjun broke through on his own back then. Fortunately,

he had two extremely powerful families behind him. Even if they used silver, they could help him reach the Earth Rank.

However, now was not the time to use Yuan Jing to break through the bottleneck of the Earth Rank. He needed to adjust his own state to the peak first.

He walked into a hall and turned a vase on the shelf by the wall. A wall also slowly turned. The prince took the brocade box and walked behind the wall. After a while, he came out and turned the vase back to its original position. The wall also returned to its original state.

Outside the hall, a parrot stood on a tree, watching him quietly.

Night.

Lin Xiu sat at the table, listening to the parrot named Xiaolan in the Prince’s Mansion reporting today’s situation to him.

“Yuan Jing?”

When Lin Xiu heard this key word, he was shocked. No wonder he didn’t buy a fourth-level alien beast Yuan Jing. It turned out that someone bought it and gave it to the prince.

Not only that, the prince actually had a few fifth-level alien beast Yuan Jings. This thing is really in short supply. One hundred thousand taels of silver may not be able to buy one. Sooner or later, Lin Xiu will use it when he breaks through the bottleneck of the earth level.

There is a secret room in the East Palace. The way to open it is to turn the vase on the shelf.

The prince put the Yuan Jing in the secret room.

Xiaolan’s IQ has increased after Lin Xiu’s training these days, and it can express what it wants to express more clearly.

An idea came to Lin Xiu’s mind.

To be honest, he has taken a fancy to those Yuan Jings.

Under normal circumstances, he can’t get them.

What is the East Palace? There lives the future crown prince of Daxia. A mere grandson of a third-rank earl who is not very important has two earth-level masters protecting him, not to mention the crown prince. It is

unlikely that a heaven-level master will protect the crown prince. He does not have such a big face. Even the dog emperor can ignore such a master. But there is at least one earth-level upper realm guard around the crown prince. This is beyond doubt.

The earth-level upper realm is an existence that Lin Xiu cannot fight against at present.

They may not be able to see through his invisibility like the heaven-level masters, but as long as Lin Xiu moves, the air flow he brings can expose his position.

But there is one thing Lin Xiu can be sure of.

This master will not stay in the East Palace all the time.

Wherever the crown prince goes, he will follow him. As long as the crown prince leaves the East Palace, he still has a great chance of succeeding.

The crown prince sent people to assassinate him three times, but Lin Xiu has never been able to do anything to him. Now, it is time for him to collect some interest.

…

Early morning, the East Palace.

After the prince had breakfast, he left the East Palace and went to the Imperial Palace to pay respects to the Empress.

A few days ago, because he always met Lin Xiu, he didn’t go to the harem to visit her for more than half a month on the grounds of being ill. If he didn’t go again, it would be a bit unreasonable.

I hope he won’t see Lin Xiu again today, he thought so in his heart, and got on a carriage.

An old man in gray also walked out of the East Palace and sat on the carriage.

Suddenly, he turned his head and looked in a certain direction, but the street corner was empty, nothing. After a moment, he looked away, leaned on the carriage, closed his eyes and dozed off.

Watching the prince’s carriage leave, Lin Xiu, who was floating on the street corner, slowly floated into the East Palace.

The prince is the backbone of the East Palace. After he leaves, most of the guards of the East Palace will be emptied, leaving only some guards and palace maids and eunuchs.

A bird with a blue crown flew into the prince’s mansion and landed on the roof of a palace.

Lin Xiu floated into the hall and saw a bookshelf against the wall.

In addition to a pile of books on the bookshelf, there were also several antique vases. With Lin Xiu’s eyesight, he could clearly see that there were many more fingerprints on one of the vases than on the others.

This is the prince’s study. No outsiders are allowed to enter on weekdays. The maids and servants of the East Palace dare not even get close except for daily cleaning.

Lin Xiu gently turned the vase, and the gambling wall in front of him slowly turned, leaving a step leading down.

Lin Xiu floated down the steps and soon found a secret room.

Several huge night pearls were inlaid on the wall, emitting a faint light, illuminating the secret room.

There were many boxes in the secret room.

Lin Xiu opened a box, and there was white silver inside.

In the second box, there was a whole box of gold.

The third box was filled with pearls, jades, gemstones and the like…

In the last brocade box, there were dozens of Yuan crystals, most of which were fourth-level Yuan crystals that Lin Xiu had to pay a lot of money for, and there were a few that were obviously fifth-level, judging by their size and color.

Under the dim green light of the night pearl, Lin Xiu’s eyes were flickering with dim light.

He had only one thought in his mind.

Get rich.

Get rich.

He reached for the box full of silver with his left hand, and the next moment, the box disappeared out of thin air.

And in his right hand, the brocade box full of Yuan crystals also disappeared.

At this time, the role of spatial ability was fully revealed. In

a moment, there was nothing left in the prince’s secret room.

Even the few night pearls inlaid on the wall were pried off by Lin Xiu and taken away.

He didn’t need to be polite to the prince.

The revenge for the assassination could not be avenged for the time being, so it wouldn’t be too much to collect some interest first, right?

…

After noon, the prince returned to the East Palace.

It has been a long time since he greeted his mother. Today, his mother invited him to have lunch in Yongning Palace. The important thing is that he did not meet Lin Xiu today. He never wanted to see that face again.

He spent an afternoon to adjust his Yuanli to the peak, ready to break through tonight.

He turned the vase and opened the door of the secret room. When he took a step forward habitually, he almost stepped on empty air.

No, why is it so dark?

He remembered that there was a night pearl on the wall here. Where is the night pearl?

The prince turned around and walked to the table in a hurry, took the candlestick, and walked into the secret room.

The next moment, the candlestick in his hand fell to the ground.

His secret room, which was originally filled with countless boxes, was empty. There was nothing.

Those gold, silver, jewelry, Yuan crystals, and night pearls, all disappeared!

He just felt dizzy and held on to the wall to stand firm. Then a panicked voice rang out: “Come here, come quickly!”
