Upon hearing the question from Prince Zhen Nan, Bai Qingqing imdiately reported, "Last night, while the Princely Heir and I were engaging in intercourse, he suddenly drew spirit evil into his body, and then he broke through to the Early Mortal Realm within an extrely short ti."
Upon hearing Bai Qingqing’s answer, Prince Zhen Nan was slightly taken aback.
Drawing spirit evil into the body during intercourse? And breaking through to the Mortal Realm?
Such a thing was unheard of.
How was this accomplished?
He had lived a lifeti without ever hearing of such a thing.
Did marriage have such a great effect? To directly turn an ordinary person into a Spirit Martial Artist of the Mortal Realm?
Or were there other factors at play?
Thinking of this, Prince Zhen Nan continued, "Go on."
He sensed there might be so things about Lu Chen that he wasn’t aware of; Lu Chen had indeed changed significantly since his mory loss, to the point where, as his father, he was having trouble recognizing him.
Bai Qingqing continued, "While the Princely Heir and I were engaging in intercourse, I could distinctly sense an improvent in my cultivation state. I suspect the Princely Heir has acquired so dual cultivation technique."
"Additionally, it was the Princely Heir who first discovered the assassin in the bridal chamber last night."
Hearing this from Bai Qingqing, Prince Zhen Nan was almost certain there was soone else behind Lu Chen, or that Lu Chen had apprenticed to an honored master sowhere.
There were certainly no dual cultivation techniques in Zhen Nan Prince Manor.
Bai Qingqing reminded at this mont, "My lord, I suspect the Princely Heir might be possessed by so sinister evil."
Upon hearing this, Prince Zhen Nan dismissively said, "It is impossible for him to be possessed by sinister evil."
Seeing Prince Zhen Nan speak with such certainty, Bai Qingqing was a bit puzzled; considering the drastic change in Lu Chen’s temperant since his mory loss, everything pointed to him being possessed by sinister evil.
Lu Chen, before and after his mory loss, was like two different people. Even if one lost their mory, such a dramatic change is unlikely unless possessed by sinister evil.
But why was Prince Zhen Nan so certain it wasn’t sinister evil possession?
Of course, Bai Qingqing would not doubt Prince Zhen Nan’s words; even though he was in his twilight years, he was still an Earth Realm Strong Person, capable of discerning if Lu Chen was possessed by evil.
At this mont, Prince Zhen Nan added, "I had once left a trace of Dragon Qi on his body; with that Dragon Qi protecting him, no sinister evil could occupy his body."
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingqing imdiately understood the situation.
Under normal circumstances, there are two people in the Great Zhou Dynasty who wouldn’t be possessed by sinister evil: one is the Emperor of Great Zhou, and the other is Prince Zhen Nan.
However, once they bestow their Dragon Qi on others, those individuals similarly gain the ability to resist evil possession.
Since it’s not sinister evil possession, how could Lu Chen’s personality change so dramatically? Could it truly be attributed to the awakening caused by his mory loss?
This explanation might not even convince Prince Zhen Nan himself.
Prince Zhen Nan pondered at this mont, saying to Bai Qingqing, "Find a way to discover who taught him the dual cultivation technique."
Prince Zhen Nan suspected that all of Lu Chen’s changes were related to the person who taught him the dual cultivation technique. Although it appeared that the person helped Lu Chen beco a Spirit Martial Artist for his own good, no one could guarantee whether they had ulterior motives.
Nowadays, Zhen Nan Prince Manor had reached its twilight; everyone was eager to carve up the political legacy of the prince manor, so Prince Zhen Nan didn’t believe anyone would genuinely help the prince manor at this ti.
Moreover, the decline of the prince manor was welcod by the entire royal family, as Prince Zhen Nan was the only alien king in Dazhou. Furthermore, Prince Zhen Nan possessed Dragon Qi.
The royal family was extrely cautious about granting king titles; even though Emperor Zhou’s children had reached adulthood, no prince had been granted the title, except Ji Yunng who beca Princess Yun’an. What the royal family feared most was rebellion by the seignior.
The forr Prince Zhen Nan had territories, but the royal family later reclaid them, fearing he’d establish separate domains. Now, Prince Zhen Nan was confined mostly to the vicinity of the capital.
Even if he wanted to visit remote areas, he’d need to apply for permission.
Nonetheless, Prince Zhen Nan still wielded considerable influence in the south, and this is why the royal family wishes for Prince Zhen Nan Manor to completely disappear.
In Prince Zhen Nan’s view, Lu Chen’s master approached him deliberately, teaching him the dual cultivation technique to lower his guard, so that one day he might control Lu Chen.
Therefore, regardless, they must uncover who was orchestrating things behind the scenes.
Nonetheless, Prince Zhen Nan was most curious about one thing: what kind of dual cultivation technique could turn soone who hadn’t passed the spirit evil test into a Spirit Martial Artist.
For soone like Lu Chen, if large amounts of spirit evil entered their body, they’d inevitably suffer from spirit evil corrosion and wouldn’t have long to live.
Ordinary people often have a hard ti surviving in this world, as spirit evil Qi is pervasive in the air. Breathing inevitably leads to inhaling spirit evil, albeit a very scarce amount, but it adversely affects their longevity.
Of course, there are dications to remove spirit evil from ordinary bodies, but these are only effective against newly entered spirit evil. They cannot cleanse the spirit evil within Spirit Martial Artists, especially those already severely corroded like Prince Zhen Nan.
Now, Prince Zhen Nan was contemplating the possibility that if Lu Chen’s dual cultivation technique could enable ordinary people to beco Spirit Martial Artists, then soon enough the streets of Dazhou would be filled with Spirit Martial Artists.
Most crucially, if the dual cultivation technique had no side effects, whoever possessed it would gain considerable power to overthrow.
If Emperor Zhou learned that the prince manor harbored such a technique and hadn’t surrendered it, it would surely spell trouble for Prince Zhen Nan Manor.
Prince Zhen Nan was very concerned about any potential side effects of this technique; Lu Chen was his only heir, and having just married without offspring, if anything happened during his cultivation now, Prince Zhen Nan’s lineage would be ended.
Thinking of this, Prince Zhen Nan regretted not sending more beautiful maids to Lu Chen; while other royal nobles feared their descendants succumbing to worldly pleasures, Prince Zhen Nan wasn’t concerned at all. He hoped Lu Chen would indulge in pleasures, spending days consud by passion, ensuring the continuation of his lineage.
At this mont, Prince Zhen Nan glanced at Bai Qingqing, then sighed and said, "You and Chen’er have just married, and perhaps I shouldn’t say this, but I feel compelled to ntion that Lu Chen is the only heir to Prince Zhen Nan Manor, so I hope he will take more concubines to ensure the continuation of our lineage."
Bai Qingqing imdiately replied, "I understand."
