My father is Yongle, and all I want is to cultivate immortality.

Chapter 46 How can this emperor of the mortal realm compare to me, a Qi Refining cultivator?

He hadn't expected his grandfather to say that.

This surprised him; he had come to complain.

"Grandpa, you have no idea how badly my second uncle tricked me. He repeatedly tried to cheat me with medicine, and I almost couldn't hold on."

Zhu Zhanji felt extremely wronged.

Those who aspire to great things must be able to bend and stretch!

"Your second uncle has too many secrets, and I still have a falling out with him."

Zhu Di said, "If you can learn alchemy from him, then refining this Rejuvenation Pill is probably just one of the many pills you can make. There will be other pills in the future."

"Zhanji, are you willing to share your grandfather's burdens?"

Zhu Zhanji paused for a moment, then, seeing his grandfather's expectant gaze, he clenched his fist tightly.

"Grandpa, I understand."

"In order to learn alchemy, I'm going to my second uncle's place again tomorrow."

Zhu Zhanji made up his mind.

"Very good, worthy of being my grandson." Zhu Di said with a look of satisfaction.

Having no other choice, Zhu Zhanji left Fengtian Hall and headed towards the Eastern Palace.

He knew even more clearly that this notification seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

Moreover, his grandfather encouraged him to keep going to the Prince of Han's mansion.

Isn't this going to kill him?

"Oh, right."

Zhu Di suddenly spoke up: "Did you see the Second Prince refining elixirs while you were at the Prince of Han's residence?"

He was also very curious, after all, alchemy was no small matter.

"Yes, I saw it, and my second uncle is very powerful. The flames he uses are conjured by himself."

"Moreover, that fire control technique is quite terrifying."

Zhu Zhanji recalled everything that had happened inside the Prince of Han's residence.

Zhu Di took a deep breath: "It seems your second uncle has many secrets."

"Tell me, the more things are like this, how can I feel at ease letting him go to Yunnan to assume his fiefdom?"

Zhu Zhanji said, "Yes, Second Uncle, it's true that I can't see through it."

"I must uncover the secrets within him."

"The opportunities he has received, I also want to receive."

Zhu Di smiled slyly: "So, Zhanji, you should understand my good intentions, right?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded with a wry smile.

"Alright, go back and rest," Zhu Di said. "Don't forget to visit the Prince of Han's residence tomorrow, understand?"

Zhu Zhanji smiled wryly and said, "Grandfather, I understand."

When Zhu Zhanji returned to the Eastern Palace, he happened to see his father playing with a wooden sword.

"Son, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so lost and disoriented?" Zhu Gaochi asked.

"Dad, I'm so wronged!"

Zhu Zhanji hugged Zhu Gaochi and began to wail loudly.

"Son, what's going on? Don't scare me!" Zhu Gaochi hadn't expected Zhu Zhanji to react so strongly.

Zhang Yan also came over; she hadn't expected her son to have suffered such a shock.

"Son, what exactly happened?" Zhang Yan asked.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to tell everyone about what had happened at the Prince of Han's residence.

"Huh?" Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Yan were both taken aback.

"Testing elixirs?" Zhang Yan asked. "Is this how the Prince of Han lets you test elixirs?"

"What if something goes wrong?"

"Waaah, Mother, you must stand up for me!" Zhu Zhanji cried out as if he had seen a savior.

Zhu Gaochi frowned: "I heard you also went to the Fengtian Hall. In that case, what did your grandfather say?"

"This..." Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth, but in the end, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

Zhu Gaochi seemed to be deep in thought.

"This second son's alchemy skills are indeed remarkable," Zhu Gaochi said. "If Zhanji could really learn his alchemy skills, even just a little bit, it would probably be of great use."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "That's right! This second son's Rejuvenation Pill is truly remarkable. If Zhanji has actually learned something from the Prince of Han, that would be quite good!"

"Ah, no..." This time Zhu Zhanji was dumbfounded.

What's wrong? Even their own parents are siding with their second uncle?

"Zhanji," Zhu Gaochi smiled, "you should get some rest. Tomorrow morning, listen to your grandfather and go to the Prince of Han's residence again."

"The art of alchemy is inherently difficult. If you truly master it, then all these hardships will be worthwhile."

Zhu Zhanji: ...

He thought to himself, "Wow, that's something!"

He finally realized that he, as a son, was just someone to be tricked.

"My dear son, your grandfather is right, and your father is right too," Zhang Yan said. "Go back and get some rest. Remember to go to the Prince of Han's residence tomorrow."

"Yes!" Zhu Zhanji nodded with a wry smile.

…………

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was the next morning.

Zhu Gaoxu refined several bottles of elixirs.

Princess Han walked over, smelling the fragrance from the medicine bottle, and felt that her husband was really amazing.

"Husband, did you refine all these pills?" asked the Princess Consort of Han.

"Yes, these pills are all beauty pills."

"As long as you take this pill, you will become more beautiful. Young people who take it will become as beautiful as angels, and young women who take it will become infinitely charming," Zhu Gaoxu explained.

His beauty pill is practically like modern cosmetic surgery technology.

"Then shall I give it a try?" said the Princess Consort of Han.

"My dear consort, you don't need to try it," Zhu Gaoxu explained. "You've already become more than ten years younger after taking the Rejuvenation Pill, and your appearance has been fixed after taking the Youth-Preserving Pill. This Beauty Pill won't have any effect on you."

"If an ordinary person knew the effects of this beauty pill, they would definitely fight tooth and nail to get it."

"That will be our time to make a fortune."

Princess Consort of Han gave Zhu Gaochi a big kiss: "Husband, you are so talented."

Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said, "It's alright, but for safety reasons, all the money I earned will be put into the space I use for cultivation."

"What if His Majesty can't handle the consequences and confiscates our property, taking all the money we've earned?"

"Is this space something you created through your cultivation?" Princess Han asked curiously.

Zhu Gaoxu said, "You could say that."

That's the only explanation he can offer now.

"But what if we anger His Majesty?" Princess Consort of Han said. "His Majesty is currently fighting a war and is short of money. If he finds out that you have earned so much money and are not giving it to him, won't he be furious and flip the table?"

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes turned cold: "I couldn't be happier!"

"If it really comes to that, I'll flip the table with him!"

"I'd like to see if this mere mortal emperor can compare to me, a Qi Refining cultivator."

"Can he win?"

Upon hearing this, the Princess Consort of Han felt her blood boil; her husband was truly inspiring.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty."

Huangfu Yun knocked on the door from the outside.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi and the Princess of Han exchanged a glance and came out.

"What's up?"

Huangfu Yun said, "The Crown Prince has come again."

"Really?" Zhu Gaoxu's lips curled up.
