"Ninth Prince!."
As Chen Xuan pondered what plan he should make to accelerate his cultivation, an old voice came from outside.
"Why are people constantly showing up!." Why are people constantly showing up?
Chen Xuan got up from his practice position and walked out of the house. In front of the house, there was a thin middle-aged man with a strong aura, standing there calmly.
Seeing the middle-aged man, Chen Xuan immediately knew that this was Commander Neng Tian, his father's trusted aide.
"Xuan'er greets Commander Tian," Chen Xuan clasped his hands and greeted respectfully. Neng Tian's status was not ordinary in the Chen Royal Palace. He was one of the elite practitioners and also the most trusted right-hand man of King Chen. Even the princes had to show respect to him.
Neng Tian nodded. He looked at the young man in front of him and then glanced at the shabby house behind him. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This young man was once an extraordinary genius who enjoyed glory under the sun, yet now he had to live in such a shabby place. If only something hadn't happened, this Chen Xuan would have become the future pillar of the Chen Royal Residence and would inherit the throne next. However, the heavens were truly envious of such a genius.
Organizing his feelings, Neng Tian said calmly, "Ninth Prince, His Majesty has a message to convey to you."
"What message?" Chen Xuan looked at Neng Tian calmly.
"In two months, the strength assessment will be held. As per the rules, anyone who doesn't pass the Strength Assessment will be sent out of the residence to manage the family business. They will also lose the qualification to receive training from the kingdom. For the Ninth Prince, if you fail to pass this time, His Majesty will revoke your prince status and you will have to leave the Chen Royal Residence," said Neng Tian while observing Chen Xuan's facial expression. However, he was slightly surprised because the young man in front of him was very calm.
"I understand. Thank you for the information. Tell His Majesty that I won't disappoint him," said Chen Xuan calmly.
Seeing Chen Xuan's attitude, Neng Tian thought that Chen Xuan had resigned himself to his circumstances. So he said, "Prince, there's no need to be discouraged. Even if you can't become a practitioner, you can live life as an ordinary person peacefully and spend your days in tranquility."
Chen Xuan smiled. "Commander Tian, even if I wanted to be ordinary, the heavens wouldn't allow it. My journey is still very long, and the upcoming Strength Assessment is just the first step of my rise." Chen Xuan looked into Neng Tian's eyes and said firmly, "The Strength Assessment, I will definitely pass!"
After saying that, Chen Xuan turned around and entered the house under Neng Tian's surprised gaze.
What Chen Xuan said was a fact. With his previous life experience and the grudge he carried, along with his sacred body, even if he wanted to be ordinary, the heavens wouldn't agree.
Neng Tian looked at the closed wooden door solemnly. For some reason, he felt that Chen Xuan today was very strange. Whether it was his calmness or ambition, it was so extraordinary that it didn't match his age. However, the requirement to pass the strength assessment was the Seventh Stage of Body Dao. Chen Xuan was currently only at the Third Stage of Body Dao. Wanting to improve from the Third Stage to the Seventh Stage in two months, even for the former Chen Xuan with his heaven-defying cultivation talent, it would be impossible to do.
"Huh, what a pity," Neng Tian sighed and then turned around, leaving the Han Pavilion.
"Who is it?"
As he entered, Chen Xuan heard his mother's question. Chen Xuan smiled. "Commander Tian, he came to deliver a message."
"Oh, what message?" Lin Sua looked at her son curiously.
Chen Xuan wanted to tell the truth but was afraid that his mother would worry, so he lied. "His Majesty the King hopes that I can pass the upcoming assessment."
"Just that?" Lin Sua narrowed her eyes.
"Yes, just this…" Being stared at like this, Chen Xuan felt a little nervous and immediately went into his room. "Mom, I'm going to continue cultivating."
....
...
Chen Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed and slowly opened his eyes after spending a day practicing cultivation. His cultivation speed was very fast, but Chen Xuan was still not satisfied because time was very tight and the natural energy in this place was indeed very thin. It wasn't like the Middle Mainland or his birthplace in his previous life.
"It seems like I need Qi Crystals, but one Qi Crystal in the common market costs 100 silver coins. I'm currently very poor!" Chen Xuan thought hard, then suddenly he remembered something.
"Wait, isn't today the day for the Qi Crystal distribution? As a prince, I should be able to get a little." Chen Xuan immediately got up from the bed and ran out of the house.
In the Chen Royal Residence, every six months, there would be a distribution of pills and Qi Crystals to the children of nobles and princes, and the distribution was regulated by the palace treasurer.
After a few minutes, Chen Xuan arrived at the royal treasure pavilion. In front of the pavilion door, there was a line of young nobles waiting for their names to be called. Chen Xuan also saw all the princes in the crowd. Except for the Fourth Prince, all the princes were present at the location.
Seeing Chen Xuan's appearance, everyone's eyes looked at him with disdain and disgust.
Chen Oyu looked at Chen Xuan and said contemptuously, "Chen Xuan, what are you doing here? Have you come to receive resources?"
The other princes also looked at him with disdain, then the Sixth Prince, Chen Jiang, said, "Chen Xuan, you still have the face to come and take resources. With your trash talent, using Qi Crystals is just a waste."
"People say that King Chen is a great practitioner and his descendants will also follow in his footsteps, but Chen Xuan is trash that brings shame to the face of the Chen Palace." The Seventh Prince, Chen Ming, glanced at Chen Xuan with a contemptuous face.
The Fifth Prince and the Third Prince also showed contemptuous expressions. All their hatred towards Chen Xuan was not without reason, but because Chen Xuan used to be too dazzling, which made them envious and hateful, yet they did not dare to speak out. Now that Chen Xuan had become useless trash, it made them free to insult and bully him.
Meanwhile, the Second Prince and the First Prince stood there calmly. They were the two older princes, so their attitudes were more controlled, but their eyes didn't hide their disdain towards Chen Xuan.
