Chapter 1637: Helping the Second Prince

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
The staple food that the Yunlan Restuarant provided was not long grain rice but spiritual rice. As its name suggested, the spiritual rice contained energy; even the water they supplied was no typical water but spiritual water, which also contained traces of spirit energy.
For both spiritual rice and spiritual water, there were different grades, ranging from low-grade, to mid-grade, and then finally high-grade. Naturally, the higher the grade, the higher the price point.
After consuming the spiritual rice and water, the impurity within a self-cultivator’s body would be eliminated. Thus, the body would become more healthy and fit.
The Second Prince was apparently willing to spare no expense to treat Qingfeng Li to this meal, as he directly took out fifty vitality stones and threw them to the server in black.
Through some more exchange and communication, Qingfeng Li found the Second Prince to be very honest and genuine. In comparison to the conceitedness seen in the Crown Prince’s bodyguard, the Second Prince was indeed down-to-earth.
Besides, the Second Prince was very respectful towards Qingfeng Li and had shown no intention of trying to wheedle Qingfeng Li into being at his beck and call.
For this reason, Qingfeng Li admired the Second Prince even more, the friendship with a gentleman would be pure like water. Qingfeng Li had no intention of joining anyone’s side or affiliation.
However, since the Second Prince was so sensible and thoughtful, Qingfeng Li still favored him over others and would like to help him out more. For instance, he could tell easily that the Second Prince had achieved the Seventh Level of the Spirit Emperor Realm, but there was a little problem with his cultivation; if corrected, he would soon be able to achieve a breakthrough.
After all, Qingfeng Li had even cultivated immortal level techniques, he sure had his own unique, well-informed understanding of emperor level techniques.
Qingfeng Li said to the Second Prince, “Did you feel pain in your third rib on the left when you cultivated techniques recently?”
His words had shocked the Second Prince greatly as his eyes were filled with disbelief.
The Second Prince had been deeply distressed about the fact that he had not been able to break through after he had reached the Seventh Level of Spirit Emperor Realm. He had tried many methods. Yet, none had worked.
Moreover, every time when he tried to cultivate, the third rib on the left side of his body would start aching terribly. He had not told anyone about this, not even his father, he was amazed and confused as to why Qingfeng Li would know.
The Second Prince was absolutely confident that he had never met Qingfeng Li until today. Besides, for their first time meeting, they had merely spent no more than an hour dining together, he wondered how Qingfeng Li found out.
The Second Prince couldn’t help but ask, “How did you know?”
Qingfeng Li smiled coolly and replied, “That is because there is a little mistake in the technique you’re trying to cultivate.”
The Second Prince shook his head and disagreed. He was not convinced by Qingfeng Li’s words because the technique that he was cultivating was of emperor level and was found in the treasure storehouse of the Emperor Palace.
“I heard that father also cultivated this technique back then. I wondered why he was able to do it but I am not.”
Qingfeng Li could tell from the look on the Second Prince’s face that his words did not get through to the prince. Qingfeng Li was not surprised by it since he did speak boldly and blatantly – anyone would have thought that he was talking nonsense.
With a faint smile, Qingfeng Li added, “There is nothing wrong with the technique that you’re cultivating, but your physique is not as compatible with this emperor level technique.
“Your physique was relatively weak when you were still in the womb, and the third rib had been injured then. A lot Yin properties concentrated there and this it had gathered an excessively cold aura; the emperor level technique that you are cultivating is more Yang and overbearing, so the two are in conflict.”
The Second Prince was greatly frightened by Qingfeng Li’s words as his face began to look as if he had just encountered ghosts. That was because the fact that he had been injured when he was still in his mother’s womb was known to no one but his father alone.
At the time, an assassin had intruded, and the Second Prince’s mother was hurriedly rescued by his emperor father’s rescue, yet was injured. He was only a fetus. Still, one of his ribs was struck by the assassin’s cold sword. As a result, he had very weak breathing when he was born.
It was for improving his physique and ridding his body of the coldness that the Second Prince had cultivated the Emperor Level Fire Technique. He had cultivated it for more than twenty years and had believed that all of the coldness in his body had been driven out. Yet, it was obvious now that the third rib still contained some of that coldness.
This time, the Second Prince no longer doubted Qingfeng Li’s words. Qingfeng Li’s ability to discern the fact that the prince had been injured in the womb proved he had great insights. The Second Prince knew that he had encountered a master.
Even though Qingfeng Li was very young, he seemed to have demonstrated even better observation, fighting capacity, and general knowledge than the Second Prince himself.
The Second Prince stood up and bowed to Qingfeng Li respectfully. “Even my father could not cure the illness in me. Now that you could figure it out so easily, please help me cure it.”
Other patrons in the restaurant saw that the Second Prince had bowed to Qingfeng Li and were all in disbelief.
“Who is that young man? How could he make the Second Prince bow to him? What honor…”
“Did you not see? Just moments ago, this young man’s Black Puppy had defeated the Crown Prince’s bodyguard. It was swollen with arrogance.”
“Oh, that guy… I thought he looked familiar. I heard that he had even eaten together with the Third Princess at Phoenix Palace as well.”
The scene had given rise to much discussion among the self-cultivators in the restaurant. Many of them had recognized Qingfeng Li and started pointing their fingers at him as they spoke. In the end, they all stared at him in astonishment.
Unknowingly, Qingfeng Li had gathered some reputation in the Imperial Capital due to his connection and involvement with the Third Princess, the Crown Prince, and the Second Prince.
Paying no regards to all the chattering around them, Qingfeng Li first asked the Second Prince to sit down next to him. Then, he put out his right hand and placed two fingers on the prince’s wrist to take his pulse.
Qingfeng Li could clearly feel a burst of weakened cold air in the third rib of the Second Prince’s body.
Common fire techniques or honor level fire elemental elixirs could not expel this burst of coldness because it was congenital; only sacred level flames were capable of this.
Since Qingfeng Li had the Golden Flames in his body, he was confident that he was able to cure the coldness inside the Second Prince’s body.
Qingfeng Li conducted the Golden Flames inside his body and started releasing them to his right hand. The Golden Flames were summoned onto his index finger and middle finger, bouncing up and down like a couple of dancing fairies.
Dancing along Qingfeng Li’s fingers, the Golden Flames entered the Second Prince’s body, and with scorching high temperatures, they were able to eliminate all possible coldness.
The instant the Golden Flames had entered his body, the Second Prince felt as though he was inside a furnace, or even a volcano. With an agonizing groan, bead-sized drops of sweat started forming and rolling down his forehead. The Second Prince was in great pain.
Qingfeng Li murmured, “Your Highness, stay strong, all of the coldness in your body will be expelled.”
The Second Prince nodded in response. He knew that the flames inside his body were not common flames, as he actually sensed an atmosphere of holiness and purity in them. This atmosphere was even more powerful than that of his father’s, making the Second Prince feel shaken both physically and spiritually.
