“Big brother!”

Two young girls rushed over, curiously crowding in to stare at him.
He, however, looked at them blankly with unfamiliar eyes.
His bewildered gaze swept across the faces of Noble Consort Hui, Qin Ruolan, and Xiao Ruoling, before looking around at his surroundings.
Chu Zhiyuan had, in fact, already received all of Chu Liezhao's memories.
The reason why the Heaven-Substituting Reincarnation Method has such harsh conditions, as difficult as ascending to heaven, is because it directly acts upon the primordial spirit.
It has a fundamental difference from seizing a body.
Seizing a body involves devouring the original owner's soul, which is a blatant evil practice.
The Heaven-Substituting Reincarnation Method, however, turns waste into use.
It is equivalent to allowing the original owner to be reborn after death.
The soul arises and perishes with the body, but it can leave an imprint within the primordial spirit.
If the primordial spirit does not perish, even if the soul is destroyed, the imprint remains.
The Divine Sons of the Eternal Spirit Sect can, through cultivation, form a Divine Seal, allowing the soul's imprint to merge into the Divine Seal, making it easier to touch.
After reincarnation, with the help of the Eternal Spirit Tree, one can break the mystery of the womb and awaken the memories of the previous life, as if immortal.
Such Divine Sons are rare and few in the Eternal Spirit Sect.
Ordinary people can hardly touch this imprint, unable to find the memories of their past lives.
The primordial spirit reincarnates again and again, each time forming a new soul, which dissipates with the death of the body.
If this imprint of the soul cannot be found, it means complete death.
If the enigma cannot be broken, one is lost in the heavens and earth, and in the mortal world.
The Heaven-Substituting Reincarnation Method imprints one's own soul onto the other party's primordial spirit.
Once the mystery of the womb is broken, it awakens the memories of one's own soul, and also receives the memories of the other party's current life.
The marvel of this method lies in its ability to prioritize one's own memories, with the original owner's memories as supplementary, blending them seamlessly.
This method can be described as flawless, the primordial spirit and soul harmonizing without the slightest abnormality.
It not only receives the memories of two lifetimes but also inherits the emotions.
Noble Consort Hui stepped forward, sizing up Chu Liezhao: “Do you remember me, Zhao'er?”
Chu Liezhao's bewildered gaze gradually cleared, and he softly said: “Mother Consort.”
His expression also darkened.
Noble Consort Hui snorted: “A fool has a fool's luck, a scourge lives for ten thousand years, truly back from the dead!”
She turned to look at Qin Ruolan: “Junior Sister, this time, it's all thanks to you coming.”
She then smiled at Xiao Ruoling: “Martial Niece, you are his savior.”
Xiao Ruoling said: “Martial Aunt, that needle technique of mine was also the first time I used it.”
“Then it is indeed his great fortune.”
“Big brother, big brother, do you remember me?” A young girl hurriedly shook Chu Liezhao's arm.
Chu Liezhao withdrew his gaze and, when he looked at the two young girls, immediately revealed a smile: “Qiao'er, Zhen'er, your eyes are swollen, so ugly.”
“Big— Big brother—!” The two young girls immediately protested coyly.
Noble Consort Hui said: “He has come back to life, but his injuries haven't healed yet, go and let the imperial physician in.”
“I'll go.” One of the girls ran out.
A moment later, a crowd of people outside surged in, each with a spirited expression.
Different from their previous solemnity and heaviness.
The room was large enough that the crowd didn't make it feel crowded.
A thin middle-aged man stepped forward, glancing at Chu Liezhao.
Then, he stroked his beard with his left hand and placed his right hand on Chu Liezhao's shoulder.
A gentle aura poured into Chu Liezhao's body, and the thin middle-aged man's stroking hand suddenly paused.
“Imperial Physician Huang, how is big brother?”
“Hmm… —”
“Big brother is alright, right?”
“His injuries are still quite severe, one must not be careless.” The thin middle-aged man stroked his beard and said: “Now that there is the Great Brightness Heart-Protecting Pill, he looks very good, but once the medicinal power wanes, it will be another hurdle.”
Another girl hurriedly said: “Then give him another Great Brightness Heart-Protecting Pill.”
Chu Liezhao struggled to sit up, and the two girls hurriedly and carefully helped him up.
He sat up with difficulty and hummed: “Zhen'er, I am not worthy of a second Great Brightness Heart-Protecting Pill.”
“Big brother—!” The girl turned her head and protested coyly: “Don't say such disheartening words.”
Chu Liezhao said: “Being able to take one Great Brightness Heart-Protecting Pill is already an extraordinary act of kindness from Father Emperor, I dare not covet a second one.”
The Great Brightness Heart-Protecting Pill is a first-grade rare pill, capable of sustaining life and vitality as long as a single breath remains.
It is a unique pill of the Great Brightness Peak, and there are only a few in the palace.
As the most inconspicuous and despised prince, being able to receive one pill is already the limit.
A second pill is absolutely impossible.
The number of Great Brightness Heart-Protecting Pills is limited, who knows if another prince might encounter danger and need it.
Noble Consort Hui snorted: “Zhao'er, it's good that you know this, but are you harboring resentment?”
“I dare not have resentment.” Chu Liezhao curled his lips: “I can only be grateful for Father Emperor's kindness.”
“You, ah— — — —” Noble Consort Hui shook her head: “You're incorrigible, you'll suffer in the future!”
If he doesn't change this nature of saying strange things and complaining too much, it is impossible for the emperor to like him.
From childhood to adulthood, he has suffered countless losses because of this nature, but he still doesn't change.
Chu Liezhao hummed: “Let these good-for-nothings get lost.”
“Zhao'er!” Noble Consort Hui frowned.
Chu Liezhao sneered: “They just occupy their positions and do nothing all day long, they're useless at critical moments, are they staying here to watch me die?”
He looked at the thin middle-aged man: “Director Huang, I'm not talking about you, you have great abilities, these guys are purely freeloaders!”
“Cough cough, Your Highness— — —”
“Director Huang, my little life is entrusted to you, they are useless, let them get out quickly, they're an eyesore, the more I look at them, the angrier I get!”
As he spoke, he coldly swept his gaze over the imperial physicians.
The thin middle-aged man, Huang Yuanqing, helplessly waved his hand.
The crowd cupped their fists and retreated.
Their expressions were normal, not angered by Chu Liezhao's words.
They all knew what kind of person this Ninth Prince was, he never had a kind word to say.
In any case, the Ninth Prince was able to survive, so they passed this hurdle.
Afterwards, there would be rewards, and that was enough.
Chu Liezhao looked at Huang Yuanqing: “What should I do?”
“This official will circulate qi to heal Your Highness, Your Highness must remember not to circulate qi.”
“Yes, my meridians are almost completely ruined, circulating qi is suicide.”
“Exactly.” Huang Yuanqing agreed.
Chu Liezhao's body was a mess, if it weren't for the medicinal power of the Great Brightness Heart-Protecting Pill, he would have died.
He had to take advantage of the medicinal power of the Great Brightness Heart-Protecting Pill to heal quickly, otherwise, once the medicinal power was exhausted, even if his spirit was good, he would not be able to withstand the collapse of his body.
“This official will be impolite.”
Huang Yuanqing sat on the couch behind Chu Liezhao, placed his palms on his back, closed his eyes, and began to circulate qi.
He practiced a wondrous technique, most skilled in healing.
The aura entered Chu Liezhao's body, like sweet rain seeping into dry fields, quickly nourishing his body.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Chu Liezhao revealed an expression of enjoyment.
Xiao Ruoling's mood was complicated.
The face before her was unfamiliar, and his temperament and actions were also unfamiliar, causing her to be inexplicably suspicious, was this Ninth Prince really Chu Zhiyuan?
His mouth was sharp and his actions were harsh, completely different from Chu Zhiyuan's calmness and composure.
They were like two different people.
And after he used the Heaven-Substituting Reincarnation Method, no sound had been transmitted, causing her to worry.
Could it be that this method had failed and he had suffered a backlash?
Fortunately, it was only an incarnation that was used.
She stared intently at Chu Liezhao, her thoughts churning.
Huang Yuanqing's expression became increasingly solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Chu Liezhao's gold-like complexion rapidly turned green, visibly decaying.
The expressions of the crowd suddenly became heavy, staring intently at Chu Liezhao, knowing that the most important moment had arrived.
The medicinal power of the Great Brightness Heart-Protecting Pill should have waned, and his injuries suddenly worsened.
Half an hour later, the green aura on his face had already faded, with a hint of redness in his pallor.
Qin Ruolan softly said: “Director Huang's Dripping Heaven Marrow Technique is indeed well-deserved.”
She felt Chu Liezhao's aura rise again after a fall, becoming increasingly strong, and his body was rapidly improving.
An hour later, Huang Yuanqing withdrew his palms, his face as pale as paper.
Chu Liezhao's face was also pale, his aura weak, but it had stabilized.
He opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath: “I've picked up another little life!”
