A night passed quickly.
During this night, Qin Xuan not only improved his strength but also refined some Medicinal Pills and more Thunder Fire Pearls.
As the quality of the fire seed improved, the power of the Thunder Fire Pearl also increased.
"It would be even better if I could refine a Skyfire."
Qin Xuan pondered, stroking his chin.
If Thunder Fire Pearls formed from Spirit Fire already possessed such formidable power, a Skyfire's might would be even more terrifying.
"If your Realm could be stronger, the power of the Thunder Fire Pearl could also be stronger, and if other elemental powers could be added, the effect would also be very good."
Han Ye said, and Qin Xuan nodded.
By now, the outside world was already brightly lit.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
Just then, a maid walked over and knocked on the door.
"Young Master, the Third Prince Your Highness requests your presence!"
It was time to prepare for departure.
Outside the mansion, the Third Prince had already arranged the carriage.
Taking Qin Xuan, the carriage quickly arrived before the Grand Gan Imperial Palace.
Here was a huge square.
In the center of the square stood the Grand Gan Third Prince and the other nineteen individuals participating in this selection.
Qin Xuan's gaze swept over these nineteen people, finally settling on one of them.
"Qin Family?"
Qin Xuan looked at the other person with a smile.
Seeing Qin Xuan look over, the young man hastily shook his head, then thought for a moment and nodded.
In his panic, he shook his head again.
"What does this mean? Did the Kyoto Qin Family send out an idiot?"
Qin Xuan snorted coldly.
"I am from the Kyoto Qin Family, but I don't want to cause trouble, please don't kill me."
This Qin Family Disciple explained to Qin Xuan in a panic.
Qin Xuan surveyed the other party, confirming that this young man's strength was only at the Tianxuan Realm Fifth or Sixth Layer, and he understood.
The Qin Family already knew that Disciples below the Yuqing Realm were no match for Qin Xuan.
They also knew that Qin Xuan might target Qin Family Disciples, so they simply ignored Qin Xuan and sent someone to make up the numbers.
"The Qin Family has given up."
Qin Xuan felt a wave of boredom.
The Third Prince wanted to protect him; as long as the Qin Family didn't want to rebel, they wouldn't dare to scheme against Qin Xuan.
In this way, they might as well send someone to fill a spot; even if he was killed, the loss wouldn't be significant.
Having figured this out, Qin Xuan felt it was meaningless.
He wouldn't go as far as to act against a young man thrown out to take the blame.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Qin Xuan cupped his hands towards the Third Prince.
The Third Prince nodded with a smile.
After entering the palace last night, he reported everything to the Emperor.
As he expected, the Emperor was furious, severely scolding the Second Prince and then confining him to his residence.
It seemed the Third Prince was already assured of victory.
At least, it appeared so on the surface.
"Is Your Highness responsible for taking us there this time?"
Someone asked the Third Prince.
The Third Prince shook his head.
"No, someone else will take you this time. We are waiting for someone; once that person arrives, we will depart."
Waiting for someone?
Qin Xuan looked around, confirming that all twenty individuals who had secured spots were present.
This was strange; all twenty people with spots were here, so why the sudden wait?
Qin Xuan was puzzled, and others also looked bewildered.
"Wait a little longer, they'll be here soon."
The Third Prince said, and after a while, a Cloud Boat flew from a distance.
This Cloud Boat looked very luxurious, clearly belonging to someone wealthy or noble.
After a moment, the Cloud Boat landed in front, and a veiled woman walked out.
"Greetings, Qianqian Fairy."
The Third Prince bowed to the woman.
A faint glow seemed to envelop the woman's body.
Seeing the Third Prince bow to her, the woman nodded slightly.
"Your Highness is too kind; it was presumptuous of me this time, please forgive me, Your Highness."
The Third Prince hastily shook his head, smiling as he cupped his hands towards the woman.
"Fairy is too polite; it's merely a small effort. It is our fortune to be able to help the Fairy."
Saying this, the Third Prince bowed again to the Qianqian Fairy.
"Alright, since everyone is here, let's prepare to depart. The Imperial Palace has a Teleportation Formation. First, use the Teleportation Formation to reach the vicinity of the East Sea, and then use a Cloud Boat to approach the destination."
As he instructed, everyone nodded, clearly having known this beforehand.
"Compared to these great Families, I know too little information. At least, I never knew about the Imperial Family having a Teleportation Formation."
Qin Xuan felt a bit emotional, and just then, a gaze fell upon him.
Qin Xuan, with his keen spiritual perception, immediately noticed this gaze and looked back at the person.
That Qianqian Fairy was staring at him.
This made Qin Xuan feel a bit strange.
He should have no acquaintance with this Qianqian Fairy at all, so why was she constantly looking at him?
Qin Xuan was puzzled, but this woman could command such respect from the Third Prince, so she was certainly not simple. Therefore, Qin Xuan was very polite to her, also nodding his head.
The woman scrutinized Qin Xuan with a peculiar gaze, looked at him strangely, and also bowed to him.
This strange look made Qin Xuan feel very odd.
"This woman is not simple, Qin Xuan, you should stay away from her."
Han Ye reminded Qin Xuan.
"This woman has been probing you since just now. Although I don't know what method she used, I can confirm that she is definitely using some means to spy on you!"
Even Han Lao couldn't discern it?
This was somewhat frightening.
Qin Xuan kept his eyes down, his mind calm as if in meditation, showing no intention of getting up.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, the Third Prince nodded and immediately motioned for everyone to follow him.
The group entered the Imperial Palace.
Passing through the heavily guarded inner palace, the group soon arrived at a grand hall in the center of the Imperial Palace.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
A guard stepped forward, and the Third Prince nodded, handing the tiger tally in his hand to the guard.
"Verification confirmed, Your Highness, please!"
After confirming that the tiger tally in the Third Prince's hand was correct, the guard immediately made way, respectfully inviting the Third Prince to lead the group inside.
"Good, you just guard the hall!"
With that, the Third Prince led everyone into the grand hall.
The spacious hall was adorned with Dragon and Phoenix carvings, appearing incredibly magnificent.
However, everyone's attention was not focused on the surrounding furnishings.
Everyone's gaze was concentrated on the Teleportation Formation in the very center of the hall.
A Teleportation Formation glowing with an ethereal blue light was slowly rotating.
Dozens of Top-Grade Spirit Stones around the Teleportation Formation were continuously releasing Spiritual Qi.
"Maintaining the operation of a Formation requires a considerable amount of Spiritual Qi. Even for the Imperial Family, this consumption is too great. Over the years, this Formation has been frequently shut down, only opening two or three times a year."
The Third Prince said with emotion, then placed a pile of Top-Grade Spirit Stones into a corner of the Formation.
As the Spirit Stones were poured into the Formation, a surge of ethereal blue light emanated from the Formation.
Qin Xuan's eyes lit up.
This Teleportation Formation indeed had some interesting aspects.
After carefully observing it, Qin Xuan, relying on his mastery of Formations, had largely figured out this Teleportation Formation.
"Everyone, the other side of the Teleportation Formation is hundreds of thousands of miles from here, and from there, it's still nearly a hundred thousand miles to the final destination. These hundred thousand miles will require a Cloud Boat. I have already arranged for a guard, and he will lead you to the destination then."
The Third Prince finished his instructions, then bent down and bowed to the woman.
"Qianqian Fairy, please!"
"Thank you, Third Prince Your Highness, we will certainly repay this kindness in the future."
