Library of Heaven 2 Destiny Eternal

Chapter 421 Gambling: Nine Skies Cloud Mirror
After hearing this, many people in the room figured it out and looked over.

The Jiuxiao Yunque Mirror is an ancient treasure that the prince in front of him obtained by chance. The refiner can explore the inner demons and temper the disasters in the mirror many times, thereby increasing the chance of impacting the realm.

Every breakthrough for a cultivator is like a life-and-death experience. This kind of treasure that can gain experience is indeed extremely precious. It can help cultivators find their shortcomings and accumulate confidence... But any item has its pros and cons.

Practitioners go against the will of heaven and try to glimpse a glimmer of hope from the way of heaven. They cannot be 100% sure in anything they do, especially when it comes to breaking through to a certain level. They need to be full of energy at first, but will become weaker the next time and exhausted the next time. If they develop the habit of blindly relying on certainty for breakthroughs, they will be in a panic when facing real danger.

Because of this, this magic weapon is extremely precious to ordinary cultivators, but like chicken ribs to geniuses.

This Zhang Xuan could make a person like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suffer a great loss, so one can imagine how talented he is. Now, just for a useless magic weapon, he offended the most powerful person in the Origin World... It was weird no matter how one thought about it.

"What do you think... could it be that the peerless divine elixir that Second Brother just refined was snatched away by this guy, so he was so angry that he issued a huge reward? And even though so many people asked, he was unwilling to take out the elixir?"

Before Prince Yuanqing could answer, a light hum was heard, and then a tall, handsome young man walked in.

He was wearing gorgeous clothes, a sable fur coat on his shoulders, and a scholar's hat with a round pearl on it, as smooth as snow.

"It's the Third Prince Yuan Bin!"

"Although he competes with the crown prince, he rarely takes part in the competition himself. Now that he appears and says this, does he have any evidence?"

"However, what he said does make sense! The timing is too coincidental, it is really possible that the peerless divine pill was stolen."

"If it were really snatched away by an unknown little person, it would be a disgrace to Crown Prince Yuanqing..."

Seeing the young man suddenly appear, the room was immediately in an uproar, and everyone looked at Yuan Qing again with strange expressions on their faces.

"As a prince, you dare to criticize the crown prince, Yuan Bin, you are very brave!"

Yuan Qing did not explain, but looked at him coldly.

"Brother, don't put the blame on me. Since you know that as the crown prince, you should remember your responsibilities and status and don't do anything that will affect the dignity of our Tianli Empire!"

Faced with the threat, Prince Won Bin did not care but smiled faintly.

"It should be you who affects the dignity of the royal family!"

Prince Yuan Qing took a step forward, his aura rising like a wave: "As a prince, you don't respect the way of a minister and openly question the crown prince; as a younger brother, you don't protect your brother's dignity, speak nonsense, and deliberately let people misunderstand... Yuan Bin, you are so bold!"

"This……"

Unexpectedly, the other party put him at a disadvantage with just a few words. Yuan Bin's face turned pale, but he had to bow and clasp his fists: "Royal brother, what you said makes sense. I didn't think it through! If I have offended you, I hope you will forgive me... The reason why my brother spoke rudely is that I am worried that the peerless magic pill you have spent countless resources of the empire to buy will be taken away by others..."

Crown Prince Yuanqing narrowed his eyes. Being able to compete with him for the position of crown prince, this third prince was indeed no pushover.

If the other party had continued to be tough, as the crown prince, he could have taught him a lesson openly. But now, he admitted his mistake but blamed it on his worry, which made him very uncomfortable.

After consuming so many resources, if the elixir was snatched away by someone... would it be a dereliction of duty? Is this prince still competent? This exposed many problems.

Of course, Yuan Bin was very powerful, and Yuan Qing was not that simple either. Although he was angry, he showed a playful smile on his face: "The Third Prince wants to see the peerless magic pill?"

"Of course! Who wouldn't be tempted by a pill that can allow one to advance to the Eternal Heart? It's understandable that you want to see it for yourself."

The third prince said.

"Since you doubt that my elixir was snatched away by that Zhang Xuan, why don't we make a bet?" Prince Yuan Qing asked. "How do we bet?" The Third Prince frowned.

"I heard that the pearl on your brother's hat was found in the East China Sea and is very valuable. How about we use it as a bet?" said Prince Yuanqing.

"Okay! If the prince loses, how about giving me the Nine Skies Cloud Mirror as a gift?"

The third prince snorted.

Although this pearl is very valuable, it is not worth mentioning to a prince of a very high status. But if he loses in front of others, it would be a loss of face for him, and it would be difficult for him to compete for the throne in the future.

So, since we are betting, we should naturally bet bigger.

I lost, it's just a pearl, and you lost, the Nine Skies Cloud Mirror... Isn't it said that this thing was stolen by Zhang Xuan? Once it is taken out, all the lies will be shattered.

For a moment, the third prince sneered in his heart, with a dazzling gleam in his eyes.

……

Deep inside the palace, beside the pond.

Emperor Fusheng and the handsome middle-aged man set up a game of chess again.

Holding the chess piece, the middle-aged man shook his head: "The Third Prince is still too impatient!"

Emperor Fusheng chuckled: "If he didn't fight in person and just let his subordinates continue, I would have looked at him with more respect. Now the victory or defeat is already determined!"

The middle-aged man sighed: "He turned such a passive situation into something that was beneficial to him... It seems that he took the initiative to dig a hole just now, waiting for the other party to jump into it, and his purpose was to show it to everyone so that everyone would dispel their doubts."

Emperor Fusheng nodded: "Yes, it's a bit like me."

The middle-aged man sighed, "No wonder he suddenly came to me two days ago and spent a lot of money to borrow three drops of blood essence. He had planned it long ago, but he acted so innocent just now."

"If he wasn't innocent, how could the third brother be fooled!"

Emperor Fusheng shook his head: "The third child is good in every way. He has good talent and temperament, but he is easily proud. He thinks he has a sure win, so he took the initiative to show up. In fact... the news and speculations he knew were actually deliberately spread by Yuan Qing..."

"I have to say, watching your family's internal fighting is really interesting!"

The middle-aged man turned his wrist and a pile of melon seeds appeared. He cracked them and smiled.

"You……"

Seeing him like this, Emperor Fusheng couldn't help but shook his head: "To be honest, sometimes I really envy you. You have no wife or children in your life, and you don't even have a disciple. You are all alone, you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want. You are one of the eight first-level destinies. Others are burdened by their family background, but you are the only one who is free and unrestrained."

"Hahaha, it's very carefree, but it's boring without melons to eat. Stop talking, they are about to start... I just want to see what kind of back-up plan Yuan Qing has prepared to make him so confident!"

The middle-aged man with a perfect appearance laughed and handed over the melon seeds.

Emperor Fusheng was speechless, but he took it and started eating it as well.
