The Crown Prince’s injury was not publicized. The Beiming King’s influence has greatly shaken these past two years; if news that the Crown Prince’s Magic Soul was completely destroyed and he was in a coma were to leak, it would certainly cause an upheaval both within and outside the royal court. Chen Lianlian secretly sent a doctor from the Elders Mansion to take the Crown Prince’s pulse, but the latter remained silent after the examination. "To report back to the young lady, the Crown Prince’s injury is very serious, I’m afraid recovery will be difficult," the Doctor, after seeing the injury, was also unable to treat it at the moment. "No way to treat it? Are you saying there’s not a single way left?" Seeing that the Crown Prince had been unconscious for a whole night, Chen Lianlian also lost her confidence, fearing that if Empress Qi found out later, she would be held accountable for knowing but not reporting. "Perhaps, we could ask Grandmaster Wen from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion for help, there might be a sliver of hope," the doctor, who originated from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, in desperation, had no choice but to turn to them for help. Grandmaster Wen from the Medicine Emperor Pavilion had already withdrawn from the world many years ago. But when asked, the Grandmaster flatly refused. "That old geezer! Such an ungrateful man, let’s see if he won’t regret it when I have the Crown Prince close down the Medicine Emperor Pavilion," Chen Lianlian was furious and embarrassed. "Miss, please calm your anger. Although Grandmaster Wen did not come, he sent one of his Medicine Men called Qi Fangfei, who is currently waiting outside the palace for further instruction," the Doctor hurriedly reported. The Crown Prince was known for his narrow-mindedness, and everyone in the palace knew it; offending him could mean not seeing another day. Qi Fangfei was brought in, and from a distance, she saw the Crown Prince whose complexion was as pale as gold paper, and she paid no attention to Chen Lianlian who was standing to the side. Noticing this, Chen Lianlian’s eyes filled with discontent, but thinking of the Crown Prince’s health, she repressed her anger: "Are you the Qi Medicine Man? The number one Medicine Man under Grandmaster Wen’s guidance?" "Indeed, I am. Grandmaster Wen is currently concocting a new elixir and could not receive guests. But hearing about the Crown Prince’s injury, he ordered Fangfei to bring some elixirs here." Qi Fangfei spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly; she had no particular fondness toward the Elders Mansion. If it weren’t for this incident involving a doctor recommended by the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, she would not have bothered to come. Qi Fangfei took out an elixir bottle and ordered a maid to feed the Crown Prince a pill. After taking the pill, the Crown Prince soon regained consciousness. "Your Highness the Crown Prince? Are you feeling better?" Chen Lianlian was overjoyed. "My whole body is still weak and powerless, devoid of any strength. This person is...?" Upon awakening, Ye Beilian tried to circulate his Qi, but he quickly realized he could not feel a trace of Magic Power in his Magic Soul. "Your Highness, there is no need to try anymore. Your body has not recovered; it is only the elixir concocted by Grandmaster Wen that is temporarily protecting your heart meridian. To truly cure the Crown Prince’s injury, there is only one way—to find a Holy Herb, the Six-leaf Purple Ginseng." Qi Fangfei, even in the presence of the Empress and Crown Prince, neither bowed nor paid homage, and after delivering her message, she did not bother to explain further, returning to report back to Grandmaster Wen. Six-leaf Purple Ginseng? Both the not-so-knowledgeable-about-medicine Crown Prince and Chen Lianlian immediately asked the doctors in the mansion, and only after inquiring did they learn that the Six-leaf Purple Ginseng is an extremely precious Holy Herb. Holy Herbs are not ordinary medicinal herbs; they are rare and hard to find, seen once in a hundred years. Especially the Six-leaf Purple Ginseng, the rarity of which is among the top of Holy Herbs. The Purple Ginseng grows a purple leaf every hundred years, and to have six leaves, it must grow for a full six hundred years. In Great Zhou City, there is no such medicinal herb as the Six-leaf Purple Ginseng. Legend has it that such a Holy Herb once appeared within the Hou Qin. Hou Qin? Why must it be Hou Qin? If it were any other country, one could secretly dispatch an envoy to another country to borrow the medicine, but it had to be Hou Qin. The relationship between Great Zhou and Hou Qin is very complex, with both countries’ borders adjoining each other north and south, and both governing their nations through Martial Arts. Just a few years ago, there were continuous large and small battles, until a truce was signed after an agreement was reached between powerhouses of the Martial Saint Level from both nations. Although there have been no true conflicts on the surface in recent years, small skirmishes still occur at the border from time to time. "Regardless, my Magic Soul must not be wasted, by all means necessary, we must find the Six-leaf Purple Ginseng," said the Crown Prince, referring to the Elixir he had obtained from the Great National Doctor of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, which could temporarily stop his injuries. "Then let’s tell the Emperor about this and have him send troops to Hou Qin to demand the Six-leaf Purple Ginseng," proposed Chen Lianlian. "No, Great Zhou City cannot be the one to handle this, and it must not be known to father Emperor. When I asked for the soul stone, I had assured with a slap on my chest that my cultivation would definitely break through the Magic Master stage this time. But now, not only did I fail to advance, I almost became a disabled person," Ye Beilian couldn’t suppress this feeling of irritation. "What should we do then? Without the army, how can we make the long journey to Hou Qin? Crossing the border requires a pass," Chen Lianlian also felt somewhat irritated, blaming the Crown Prince for being unreasonable. "Not only the army has passes. Those Hunter Soldiers who wander around the borders all year, especially the Hunting Corps, they all have passes. Go immediately to the Hunter Soldier Union in Yujing and post a common task to find medicinal herbs, look for a Hunter Corps of about twenty people, and we’ll set off for Hou Qin today," decided Ye Beilian swiftly this time. After hearing this, Chen Lianlian thought it over and it seemed feasible. If a senior apprentice of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion says so, then surely the Six-leaf Purple Ginseng must be able to cure the Crown Prince’s injuries. Chen Lianlian informed Elder Chen about this matter, and Elder Chen employed some tactics, finally learning that the Six-leaf Purple Ginseng once appeared in the vicinity of Luoxia Wetland. To avoid drawing attention, they would secretly enter Hou Qin. In the end, the Crown Prince decided to have Chen Lianlian go to the Hunter Soldier Union to find a Hunting Corps to escort them to Hou Qin. The strength of this Hunting Corps could not be too weak, yet it could not be a well-known corps within the country. When Chen Lianlian inquired at the Hunter Soldier Union, she found there were hardly any corps that met the above conditions, Just at that moment, Zhou Quan and several others passed by. Seeing such a young and beautiful woman as Chen Lianlian distressed, Zhou Quan couldn’t help himself and approached to strike up a conversation. Chen Lianlian noticed their cultivation was quite good and upon further inquiry, she found out they were a newly formed Hunting Corps. Chen Lianlian then seized the opportunity to propose hiring this Hunting Corps. It was then that Yun Sheng learned the full ins and outs of the situation. "Young Master Yun, have we gotten ourselves into a big situation?" Zhou Quan suddenly seemed to understand, realizing they had accepted a mission from the Crown Prince of Dazhou. These men held lowly positions, and although they had never met the Crown Prince of Dazhou, they had heard of him—he was not an easy person to deal with. "It’s more than getting into a big situation, we’ve taken on a doomed task. We’ve already accepted it, so you guys go pick twenty brothers. I’ll go to the Martial Arts Hall to settle my affairs, and we’ll set off at an appointed time," Yun Sheng was utterly dejected. "Hey, Divine Doctor Yun, why pick others when you have two ready candidates right here?" Cheng Bai’s fair face moved in closer immediately. **Thank you Yuluo, Cheng Shang, and Big Blue Basket for your rewards; Mou Fuzi is feeling worn out, thank you all for your encouragement and tickets**
