My father is Yongle, and all I want is to cultivate immortality.

Chapter 26 The anxious Yongle: Has the second prince finished refining the Rejuvenation Pill?

Zhu Gaoxu was carried into a large vat.

The Imperial Guards began to add fire outside, preparing to roast the Prince of Han.

"A mere jar, how could it possibly be a problem for me?"

Zhu Gaoxu began to use magic.

"break!"

He shouted loudly.

However, this had no effect!

"How is this possible? I clearly have Qi Refining cultivation, how could I not be able to use immortal techniques?"

He refused to believe in superstition and began using supernatural abilities such as fireballs and third eye techniques!

But none of these magical arts worked!

In Zhu Zhanji's eyes, Zhu Gaoxu's series of actions were simply a joke!

"Hahaha, Second Uncle, you can rest easy on your journey now. I'll turn you into a clay pot chicken; this is my revenge!"

The future emperor laughed even more brazenly.

…………

Holy crap!

Inside the Prince of Han's residence, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly opened his eyes and immediately kicked the Princess of Han away.

"Your Highness, what...what are you doing?" Princess Han burst into tears on the spot.

Zhu Gaoxu then realized that it was all a dream!

But this dream felt so damn real!

"It's nothing. I just had a nightmare, so I couldn't help myself and accidentally kicked you!" Zhu Gaoxu quickly got out of bed and personally helped his wife back to bed.

"Are you...are you alright?" Princess Han asked guiltily.

"How can I be alright? Don't you know how powerful that kick was?" Zhu Gaoxu said, looking aggrieved. "What kind of nightmare did you have that made you kick me?"

"I'm so sorry, my beloved concubine, it's all my fault, my utmost mistake!"

Zhu Gaoxu quickly comforted the Princess Consort of Han.

He then took out another pill and gave it to the Princess Consort of Han.

A miracle occurred again: the pain of the Princess Consort of Han quickly subsided.

"Husband, is this another elixir you've refined?" The Princess of Han was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth.

"Yes, this pill is called the Qi-Recovering Pill, which can restore a person to their original state," Zhu Gaoxu explained. "Now my alchemy skills are becoming increasingly proficient. You'll definitely benefit from following me!"

Princess Consort of Han was overjoyed and hugged Zhu Gaoxu tightly.

"My husband, I want it!"

…………

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three or four days have passed.

No one from the Prince of Han's residence has come to visit Zhu Gaoxu anymore, because Zhu Di's extortion last time has made these people much more obedient.

However, they also had unwavering faith in Zhu Gaoxu's abilities!

Although they did not see Zhu Gaoxu, the appearance of the Princess of Han convinced them of his identity.

The fact that the Princess Consort of Han has become younger and more beautiful proves that the Rejuvenation Pill refined by His Highness the Prince of Han truly has such effects.

Inside the Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Di listened to the report from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Have you heard of any explosions in the cauldron these past few days?" Zhu Di raised an eyebrow.

"Your Majesty, we indeed did not hear any sound of the cauldron exploding," Ji Gang said. "Could it be because the cauldron Your Majesty gifted was made of top-grade materials, thus preventing this from happening?"

Zhu Di laughed smugly, "That's right, that's right!"

"Look at the alchemy cauldron I chose, it's so excellent, so much better than the second prince's taste."

Ji Gang stood to the side, remaining silent.

"Several days have passed. I wonder if this kid has finished refining the pills yet?" Zhu Di was very interested.

He knew that once the Rejuvenation Pill was refined again, Old Zhu Si would truly become more than ten years younger after taking it.

Ji Gang said, "Your Majesty, the Embroidered Uniform Guard has come to report that His Highness the Prince of Han has not come out of his room. I guess he is still refining the elixir. I wonder if he hasn't finished refining it yet?"

Zhu Di nodded in agreement: "Hmm, you're right. It seems that this time, I was the one who was too hasty."

"In that case, I'll wait a few more days this time!"

"Anyway, I'll give him five days. I want to see if this kid can refine the Rejuvenation Pill in five days."

Yongle was very anxious. "Second brother, second brother, have you finished refining the Rejuvenation Pill yet?"

Zhu Di has been extremely anxious these past few days, like an ant on a hot pan.

…………

Five days later, at dawn.

Inside the Prince of Han's residence, in one of the rooms, Zhu Gaoxu slowly opened his eyes.

"Peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining!"

"Just one step away from reaching the sixth level of Qi Refining!"

Zhu Gaoxu raised the corners of his mouth and immediately smiled.

"The spiritual energy in this cultivation space is too overwhelming. I wonder if it will be possible to store things in this space in the future?"

"Or perhaps, like Han Tianzun, one could use the little green bottle to manipulate all things?"

He was genuinely curious about the future capabilities of this cultivation space.

"However, I am currently only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and I cannot yet comprehend the mysteries of this cultivation space!"

"Looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer."

Thinking of this, he stretched.

"Cultivating immortality is so awesome!"

"With my current cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining, I'm probably someone that's unattainable for ordinary people!"

Thinking of this, he immediately smiled.

He was in a good mood. He pushed open the door and stepped out of the room. The Princess Consort of Han was waiting outside.

"My lord, you've finally come out," said the Princess Consort of Han. "The Embroidered Uniform Guard has been urging us. They said the five days are up, and you need to go to the Fengtian Hall to see His Majesty the Emperor as soon as you're out!"

"Yeah?"

Zhu Gaochi's eyes flashed: "It seems that our Emperor is really impatient."

"So be it, so be it!"

"I'll go to the palace right away and see my father!"

The Princess Consort of Han asked, "Should I go with you?"

"My dear consort, you don't need to go. Just wait at home. I'll be right back!" Zhu Gaoxu said, "Father has already agreed that once this Rejuvenation Pill is refined and presented to the emperor, he will consider sending me to Yunnan to serve as a prince."

The Princess Consort of Han said with great concern, "But do you think His Majesty would agree to that?"

"This is a bit difficult."

Zhu Gaoxu said, "Our father emperor is the type who uses people when he needs them and discards them when he doesn't. It's hard to say what will happen with this enfeoffment."

"What should we do then?"

Zhu Gaoxu said, "No matter what, I still want to try. You just stay in the manor!"

"Okay, I'll do whatever my husband says!"

Zhu Gaoxu no longer hesitated. He walked out of the Prince of Han's residence, where the Embroidered Uniform Guards were waiting.

"Your Highness, His Majesty is waiting in the Fengtian Hall," a member of the Imperial Guard said.

"You Imperial Guards are truly loyal! Keeping watch over the Prince of Han's residence the whole time, don't you get tired at all?"

The Imperial Guard replied awkwardly, "Your Highness, this is simply our duty, our duty!"

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you."

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and began to walk towards the Fengtian Hall.

Along the way, the officials all saw the Prince of Han and saw that he had indeed become younger after taking the Rejuvenation Pill.

This made them even more convinced that His Highness the Prince of Han was truly terrifying, and that he had indeed refined such a heaven-defying elixir!
