"Even if I can't go to the extraterritorial battlefield and can't be a spirit guard, meritorious service can still be exchanged for treasures and elixirs."
"As a prince, does Uncle Fifteen think I lack treasures and elixirs?"
Chu Honglin snorted, "You are a prince, but elixirs and treasures are not easily obtained. They require imperial brother's reward… Do you expect imperial brother to reward you?"

"Then can meritorious service be exchanged for elixirs that enhance cultivation?"
"Yes," Chu Honglin said.
Chu Zhiyuan's spirit lifted.
"But these elixirs are not as good as the rare flowers and exotic fruits in the blessed land."
"Could there be aftereffects?"
"These elixirs are different from those rare flowers and exotic fruits. They all stimulate potential."
Chu Zhiyuan seemed thoughtful.
Chu Honglin continued, "They can only advance your realm a little earlier."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "It's just moving the time forward?"
"That's right!" Chu Honglin nodded in appreciation. "It seems you understand this path… For example, taking an elixir will allow you to enter the second transformation a year earlier, but the time for the third transformation will be extended. You need to make up for two years for that one year in advance."
"…For the spirit guards on the extraterritorial battlefield, it's actually okay," Chu Zhiyuan thought. "Improving cultivation earlier can gain a chance to survive on the extraterritorial battlefield… If you get a lucky encounter on the extraterritorial battlefield, you can also make up for this time."
"Yes, it's suitable for spirit guards, but it's not suitable or necessary for you."
According to the total time, using this kind of elixir will waste time and slow down the cultivation speed.
"What about treasures?"
"What kind of treasure do you want?" Chu Honglin said, "What is exchanged from the extraterritorial battlefield are all killing-type treasures, flying swords, flying knives, and the like."
"Flying knives?"
"Assassination weapons are what the demons are best at, and flying knives are one of them."
"Then Uncle Fifteen, give me a set of flying knives," Chu Zhiyuan said. "Don't fool me with ordinary ones."
"No problem!" Chu Honglin nodded readily.

When Chu Zhiyuan returned to his small courtyard, Youlan was already waiting.
While serving him to wash up and eat, Youlan reported that Li Yuzhen had already returned to the mansion.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Then summon her over."
Youlan quickly informed Li Yuzhen to come and see him.
After a while, Li Yuzhen, dressed in white like snow, stood tall and graceful in front of Chu Zhiyuan, cupping her fists in salute, with a solemn expression and looking straight at Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, "Stand up straight and speak. How was the trip?"
Li Yuzhen looked embarrassed.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "I understand. Your Highness doesn't believe my words, does she?"
"…Yes," Li Yuzhen nodded heavily.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Since she doesn't believe my words, then she must have said some strange things. Just say it."
"Actually, it's nothing…" She hesitated.
Your Highness's words are a little inappropriate.
"Speak!"
"…Your Highness said, let the驸马爷 be honest, don't mess around, just wait peacefully for the wedding."
"She thinks I'm meddling," Chu Zhiyuan said. "Alright, I shouldn't have told her."
Li Yuzhen looked solemn and remained silent.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "What do you think?"
Li Yuzhen shook her head silently.
She felt that Your Highness's action was inappropriate, but Your Highness has always been intelligent and perceptive, and would not make mistakes.
Since Your Highness doesn't believe it, there is no point in saying more.
This time, she was even reprimanded for dereliction of duty and distraction.
Even if she reports, it will not be too late to report after returning to the Phoenix Dynasty.
As for urgent matters, that's not her business. All she has to do is protect.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at her expression and smiled, "You were scolded too, right?"
Li Yuzhen was surprised.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "She thinks you are making a fuss?"
Li Yuzhen was silent.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "She thinks you are too trusting of me and easily influenced by me."
Li Yuzhen frowned slightly.
Could it be because of this that Your Highness scolded herself for meddling?
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let you mind your own business, and you don't have to report anything in the future, right?"
Li Yuzhen remained silent.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Then listen to her. Let's see if she will regret it in a few days."
Li Yuzhen shook her head slightly.
She believed that even if the Twelfth Princess didn't believe it, she would be prepared.
So she won't suffer.
Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand.
Li Yuzhen prepared to leave.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "I will stay in the mansion these few days and will not go out. I don't need your protection. You might as well go back to the Princess's mansion."
Li Yuzhen was puzzled.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Your blessed land is about to open soon, right? You can go back and watch the show."
Li Yuzhen said, "Your Highness has ordered that I must not go back easily."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "That's a pity… I guess your Highness is afraid of being slapped in the face."
Li Yuzhen looked disbelieving.
Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand, "Go."
Li Yuzhen stepped back.
Chu Zhiyuan sat at the table eating and drinking, thinking about the Twelfth Princess's reaction.
From Li Yuzhen's expression, he could infer the Twelfth Princess's reaction.
She still despises herself and despises this news, but she will not be careless because of it.
She will definitely treat it as true news for the time being, and prepare secretly, so that she can respond immediately once she really discovers it.
This Twelfth Princess is arrogant, but very cautious and difficult to deal with.

When the lights were lit, Chu Zhiyuan and Chu Honglin came to a heavenly prison.
The city guard's heavenly prison is different from the Ministry of Justice's heavenly prison.
The city guard's heavenly prison is more solid, more sturdy, and more heavily guarded.
It is located in the city guard's garrison. The appearance is just a group of buildings. No one would have thought that a heavenly prison would be opened here.
Chu Zhiyuan looked around as he followed Chu Honglin forward.
Among the thirty-six city guards, there are four in the Transformation God Realm, thirty in the Transformation Intent Realm, and two in the Transformation Qi Realm.
He was very curious how there were still Transformation Qi Realm cultivators who could mix into the city guard.
The source of the city guards has two parts, one part comes from veterans in the army, and the other part is experts from various sects in the martial arts world.
Transformation Intent Realm is the minimum requirement, and those below the Transformation Intent Realm are not recruited.
But here there are two Transformation Qi Realm cultivators.
Two Transformation Qi Realm city guards led the way, leading them all the way in, entering a dark cave, and coming to a separate cell.
In the cell, a silver long chain wrapped around a neatly dressed youth.
The youth was sitting cross-legged in the corner. Hearing the movement, he turned his head to look over, but it was an ordinary-looking man.
Chu Honglin waved his hand.
The two Transformation Qi Realm youths who led the way hurriedly retreated, opened the door of the cell, and left in a hurry.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at this ordinary-looking man, watching him slowly close his eyes under his gaze, ignoring him.
Chu Honglin snorted, "No need to waste time, just do it directly. Is it him?"
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
Chu Honglin said, "Then just do it directly. This silver chain is a Soul-Locking Chain, and his power has already been sealed."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Why don't Uncle Fifteen try it first?"
"You can use that method to kill and see how long it takes."
"Yes."
Chu Zhiyuan no longer declined, formed hand seals, moved his lips, and chanted divine text in a low voice.
A golden net suddenly appeared, and the next moment it appeared in front of the ordinary youth, covering it head-on.
The ordinary youth shrank back, realized something was wrong, and wanted to avoid it, but the golden net was flexible enough to accelerate and catch up, covering the youth.
The golden net immediately released light, which was resisted by invisible forces.
Chu Zhiyuan ignored it and continued to use the Great Demon Subduing Seal.
One golden net after another continued to appear, and several golden nets overlapped in the air, and suddenly wrapped the youth.
The next moment, the youth's body was like a layer of golden cocoon, and he seemed to fall asleep in the cocoon, slowly falling into a coma.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled with satisfaction.
This time, he will definitely not escape!
