“Damn it, I was still played!”

“What drinking with me, it was clearly using that time to ask the Imperial Court for an imperial decree, damn it… What kind of damn Crown Prince, truly damn insidious!”

Li Yun felt a bit annoyed.

But since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to step forward to receive the decree.

He took the imperial decree along with the Imperial Court's rewards.

After thanking Li Xin, he was finally able to leave with the Yunya Saintess and return to the Yunya Saintess's residence.

As soon as they entered the door.

The Yunya Saintess immediately pressed, “What exactly happened? Why is there this imperial decree, and it even says you are a member of the Imperial Clan and want you to acknowledge your ancestors on a chosen day?”

Li Yun shrugged his hands: “What else could it be? I was set up. Damn it, I really underestimated this Crown Prince Lietian. He's truly full of schemes.”

“However, he's only so-so.”

“He clearly needed my help, yet he deliberately used me as a pawn to disgust the White Emperor Family… His vision might not be as far-sighted as others imagine.”

Li Yun sneered inwardly.

Why did Crown Prince Lietian Li Xin, dare to play such a self-righteous open scheme?

In the end, it was because Crown Prince Lietian Li Xin, didn't truly put him in his eyes, believing everything was under control and not caring at all if doing so would offend him.

Since that's the case, let's wait and see.

As the saying goes, there's a long road ahead. He will soon let that so-called Crown Prince Lietian understand that under absolute talent, the foundation from families and the Imperial Clan is also nothing.

Immediately.

Li Yun recounted what happened after Crown Prince Lietian Li Xin, brought him to his temporary residence.

Without any concealment.

“Wood Emperor Palace?”

“Li?”

“So what the imperial decree said was actually not wrong. You are really a descendant of the Imperial Clan?”

The Yunya Saintess looked speechless.

“Descendant of the Imperial Clan, my foot!”

Li Yun said dismissively: “What the Crown Prince Lietian said, I don't know if it's true or false. Let's assume it's true for now. What's the use of descendants separated by who knows how many generations and the so-called Imperial Clan descendants?”

“Can he give me the position of Crown Prince of the Imperial Clan?”

“Or can he open the Imperial Clan's treasure vault and let me use it freely?”

“In the end, what Li and what Imperial Clan descendants… are all worthless in front of that Crown Prince Lietian.”

“But I guess… that Wood Emperor Palace might actually exist.”

The Yunya Saintess's beautiful eyes flashed: “What do you think?”

“I think, for now, let's leave it at this. You can privately investigate the information about the Wood Emperor Palace and see if you can find out the specific situation of the Wood Emperor Palace.”

“If not, we'll just have to take it one step at a time. At least that Crown Prince Lietian needs me now, so I'll take the opportunity to gain some benefits first.”

As he spoke.

Li Yun took out the two large trays rewarded by the Imperial Court and lifted the yellow silk cloth on the surface.

There were actually four things placed on it.

A blue jelly-like object.

A Jade Slip.

A token with the words 'Mystic Moon' engraved on one side and 'Lord' on the other.

The last item was a deed. Li Yun took a look and it was actually the deed to a manor in the Heavenly Capital Imperial City.

Whether it was the token or the deed, Li Yun didn't care about them at all.

They were all external possessions, not worth mentioning.

However, the blue jelly-like object truly excited Li Yun. This item was called 【Heavenly Cloud Child】, and it belonged to the Heaven Grade low-grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

Its grade was the same as the heavenly poison demon seed.

However, the heavenly poison demon seed was a highly toxic substance, while this Heavenly Cloud Child was a holy healing item.

As is well known, the stronger a Martial Artist's strength, the less likely they are to be injured, but once injured, it is often fatal, and treatment is more troublesome, and even ordinary healing pills are ineffective.

But this Heavenly Cloud Child is different; its healing effect is extremely strong.

Just a piece the size of a fingernail can treat many tricky or even fatal injuries for Reaching Heaven Realm experts below the Dao Embryo Realm.

That's not all.

Li Yun also looked carefully and found that this Heavenly Cloud Child was very complete and seemed to be able to be transplanted.

So, Li Yun simply put the Heavenly Cloud Child into the Heaven Origin Ring.

As expected.

After this item was moved into the ground of the Heaven Origin Ring world, it actually actively infiltrated underground, subtly showing signs of reproduction.

Li Yun was happy.

Perhaps even the Crown Prince Lietian didn't notice that this Heavenly Cloud Child could be transplanted, and he certainly didn't expect that Li Yun actually possessed a treasure like the Heaven Origin Ring, whose internal world is incredibly profound and can reincarnate infinitely. Otherwise, the Crown Prince Lietian would probably rather die than part with the Heavenly Cloud Child, right?

He had truly gained something this time.

Just with this Heavenly Cloud Child, he could trade for many Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures he didn't have through the Spiritual Mind Dao Palace.

He decided.

After the White Emperor City Saint Child matter was over, he would ask the Yunya Saintess for help, specifically to trade treasure for treasure, and extensively collect a batch of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures to severely supplement his 【Ten Thousand Treasures Divine Body】.

Li Yun is now paying more and more attention to this Heaven Grade Body Refining Divine Power.

It can be said.

If it weren't for this Heaven Grade Body Refining Divine Power, which allowed him to raise his physical body to the Celestial Human Realm in time, he might not have survived the nine Primordial Golden Lightnings.

Even so.

【Ten Thousand Treasures Divine Body】 has only just begun to take shape.

To reach the proficient Realm, it requires a large amount of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures for nourishment, and he is also very curious about what Realm his physical body can reach after taking another step forward.

Finally.

Li Yun picked up the last item, the Jade Slip.

After examining it, Li Yun pouted.

This item was a Divine Power called Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeve, and its grade reached Profound Grade low-grade.

Just looking at this grade.

Li Yun knew that the Crown Prince Lietian had ulterior motives again.

Why?

Currently, the outside world's understanding of him is still largely based on his time in Jinhe City.

At that time, what he displayed was a Yellow Grade top-tier Divine Power, 【Heavenly Demon Soul Extinction Art】.

Now, Crown Prince Lietian Li Xin, under the name of an Imperial Court reward, gave him a Divine Power. Anything lower than Yellow Grade top-tier would naturally be embarrassing, but anything too high would be too much to part with.

That's why he took out this Profound Grade low-grade Divine Power, which just slightly surpassed the 【Heavenly Demon Soul Extinction Art】.

This exposed one thing.

He wanted to win over people's hearts, but he was reluctant to spend a lot of money to buy a horse bone.

In the end, it was still because Li Yun's weight was not enough in the eyes of the Crown Prince Lietian.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Crown Prince Lietian, this Heaven Grade Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, a Profound Grade low-grade Divine Power, the title of Prince Xuanyue, plus a residence in the Heavenly Capital Imperial City, was already a great favor to him, right?

Li Yun should naturally be grateful and appreciative, even if he knew he was used as a pawn to disgust the White Emperor Family, he should pretend not to know.

Heh heh…

What a pity.

How could it be so cheap to win him, Li Yun, over?

The Yunya Saintess shook her head: “You're a guy who won't do anything without profit. Alright, you can stay here with me for now. Since this happened, I also need to go back and see, otherwise those people at home will definitely be jumping up and down…”
