Chapter 404: Calamity and Fortune (1)

Although Zhu Wuwan had some understanding of Cai Chaoan’s character and knew that Cai Chaoan wasn’t that kind of person, he couldn’t resist the fact that the secret on Zhu Wuwan was too attractive.

Zhu Wanwan was not sure if Cai Chaoan would lay a hand on him and force him to hand over his secrets after knowing his true cultivation speed.

This was a real cultivation world. The cultivation speed of all cultivators could be roughly estimated. The speed of ordinary cultivators, the speed of genius cultivators, the speed of monstrous cultivators … Many cultivators who were slightly more attentive knew about it.

If you were just a monster, it would still be within the scope of everyone’s understanding. There might not be too much targeting. After all, talent and aptitude could not be snatched over.

However, if even the top geniuses were far inferior to you, then others would have to think too much.

Everyone was in the cultivation field. After working as a professional cultivator for so many years, how could they not know how fast their cultivation speed was?

Even ordinary people on Earth could master a profession after a long time and knew it like the back of their hands. A rookie would know how long it would take to learn it, let alone cultivators.

Many cultivators had spent hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of years on cultivation. They were not very clear about the path of cultivation, but they were at least proficient in it.

You’re so different from everyone else. There must be a problem.

Unless you were in a third-rate novel where the author had brainlessly portrayed those immortal big shots as mentally retarded, how could the immortal big shots who had lived for so many years not see such a suspicious point?

Facing such a shocking secret that could allow a cultivator to advance so many levels in just a few years or decades, only a fool would not be tempted.

Zhu Wanhao had also put in a lot of effort and even risked her life to get herself poisoned. Only then could she barely pass the test time and time again and not be suspected of having a cheat.

Without a doubt, Cai Chaoan valued Zhu Wuan more and more. Cai Chaoan, who was originally only going to give him a bottle of Xuan Life Pills, decisively threw him half a bottle.”Use it sparingly. I only have this much left. I’ll refine more in the future and send it to you when the time comes.”

“Thank you, Master.” Zhu Wuwan smiled even more happily.

The Profound Life Pill was a high-grade middle-grade spirit pill that could heal a perfected Divine Transformation Realm cultivator. To Zhu Wuwan, it was almost like a sacred medicine. As long as she was not directly killed, she could basically recover with the Profound Life Pill.

With so many mystic life pills in hand, Zhu Wuyang’s safety index increased by 90%.

Seeing that Zhu Wuan had accepted it, Cai Chaoan took out a stack of Thousand Mile Teleportation Talismans, ten stacks of Impenetrable Talismans, a stack of Extermination Divine Thunder Talismans, and a stack of Billion Mile Communication Talismans…Leave it to Zhu Wuyang. There are life-saving ones, escape ones, support ones…There were no less than 30 types.

With these talismans, one-time-use top-notch spirit weapons, one-time-use magic treasures … Zhu Wuan’s chances of survival increased by more than ten times.

To be honest, even if he was being chased by a group of ancient giants at the Void Training Stage, Zhu Wuwan was more than thirty percent confident that he could escape successfully. One could imagine how many good things Cai Chaoan had given him.

However, seeing so many good things that could save his life and escape, Zhu Wuwan’s heart sank bit by bit. He felt that something bad had happened, and it was very likely to pose a major threat to his life.

If that wasn’t the case, why would Cai Chaoan give him so many good things? Moreover, most of them were good things to save his life and escape. Wasn’t this clearly telling Zhu Wuyang that the next thing he had to do was mainly to escape and save his life?

Speaking of which, Zhu Wuan had just become the successor Crown Prince of Nine Dragon Mountain. It had only been a month since he had been promoted. He was still preparing to use the resources of the Thousand Poisons Sect to rapidly improve his strength. Who was going to attack him? Even the famous Dragon Flame Hall Master, Cai Chaoan, was so cautious.

After putting away everything with great difficulty, including the good things given by Nine Dragon Mountain’s Master Lou Guangzhi and Nine Dragon Mountain’s legacy elder Wu Xiaoxia, Zhu Wuwan looked at Cai Chaoan and said,Master, did something happen? ”

“Do you know about the Crown Prince trial?” Cai Chaoan said worriedly.

“Crown Prince trial?” Zhu Wuan was stunned. ” Isn’t that the trial that will take place within three years after becoming the legacy Crown Prince? I’ve just become the legacy Crown Prince, so I still have three years to prepare. There shouldn’t be such a rush, right? ”

” That’s true under normal circumstances, ” Cai Chaoan said with a bitter smile. ” However, because of the appearance of the Endless Snake Marsh and the addition of the Scorpion Mountain Range, your Crown Prince trial will be brought forward. ”

“How much earlier?” Zhu Wuwan frowned.

“One year later,” Cai Chaoan replied.

According to his original plan, he still had three years to accumulate a large number of breakthrough stones with the help of the influence of Wuyang Peak. Then, he would find an opportunity to advance his Qi Refinement to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm and above. Most importantly, he would break through his body refinement cultivation to the Soul Formation realm.

In this way, even if he was facing an ancient giant, Zhu Wuwan’s chances of escaping were very high. He basically did not have to worry about the danger of dying. The Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect would not be so shameless as to send the Integration Pillar to deal with Zhu Wuwan, a legacy crown prince. That would obviously provoke a life-and-death battle between the two super immortal sects.

However, Zhu Wuwan did not expect that the time would be brought forward so much. He was only left with one-third of the time. This was not enough for him to save up enough breakthrough stones to raise his body refinement cultivation to the Soul Formation realm, let alone raise his Qi refinement cultivation and various immortal techniques.

Time was too tight!

Such a short period of time was only enough for Zhu Wuyang to raise his comprehensive strength to the point where he could barely match a Soul Formation cultivator. If he were to encounter a random Void Training Stage ancient giant’s assassination, the probability of him dying would be as high as 90%.

Although it was unlikely that a Void Training Stage powerhouse would assassinate him personally, it was better to be safe than sorry.

If the Soul Formation Stage cultivators failed to ambush Zhu Wuyang, the Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect would definitely send their Void Training Stage powerhouses.

Not to mention that the Crown Prince trial was very difficult and dangerous. Every legacy Crown Prince’s Crown Prince trial was related to the future and development potential of this legacy Crown Prince.

If he did not perform well in the Crown Prince trial or made a mistake, he would not have the support of any experts or forces. In the worst case, he might lose some basic treatment or even be killed by the enemy.

Only by successfully passing the Crown Prince trial could a legacy Crown Prince have a foothold. It would also allow many experts and factions to choose to join him and strengthen his faction, allowing him to earn more resources and wealth. This way, his speed of improvement would also be faster.

The Crown Prince trial was an extremely dangerous thing, but it was also a great opportunity. Even for Zhu Wuyang, who was gradually becoming more mature, it could be considered a great opportunity.

If he performed well, Zhu Wuyang would be able to obtain another huge industry. At the same time, he would also be able to obtain the favor of more experts and factions. From there, he would be able to join them and form an even larger faction.

When Zhu Wuyang became the leader of the Thousand Poisons Sect in a few decades, these forces would become his most basic team.

Zhu Wanhao had already prepared to start preparing for the Crown Prince trial in a year’s time. She had used two years to prepare for the trial, which showed how much Zhu Wanhao valued the Crown Prince trial.

However, Zhu Wanwan had never expected that the Crown Prince trial, which was supposed to start three years later, would start two years earlier because of the Scorpio Mountain Range’s interference.

This was obviously not a good thing for Zhu Wuyan. However, if Zhu Wuyan could turn the tide under such circumstances and achieve enough results, it would definitely cause a stir in the entire Nine Dragon Mountain. At that time, there would definitely be a gathering of followers, and his power would rise sharply.

Perhaps Zhu Wuyan could use this opportunity to catch up to the other two legacy crown princes who had been in Nine Dragon Mountain for hundreds of years, or even most of the legacy crown princes of the Thousand Poisons Sect.
