Gate of Immortality

" The Second Prince's faction is currently very strong. It is by no means weaker than the first prince's faction. Both factions are contenting fiercely with each other."

" You see, The Rose Palace is a very fun place. Not any average person can go there. Since today is the birthday of the Second Prince, it will be filled by all the young geniuses 

of the nation."

" Not to mention, all the pretty young misses of prominent clans and sects will be also there. Hehe, Can you imagine? A garden full of pretty flowers." Mo Yi laughed.

" Hehe, I wonder if Sister Jie is also coming? Brother, are you not afraid of her?" Yang Shi jested.

" Fear?! Who fears whom? It's very common to have three wives and six concubines." Mo Yi spoke righteously.

" As long as you can handle." Yang Shi shrugged.

" Sister Ruxue isn't coming with us?" Mo Yi asked. " No." Yang Shi shook his head.

" Brother Mo, have you bought any gifts?" Yang Shi asked.

" Indeed, we are going to the birthday of a Prince, of course, I brought one. I have bought a one thousand year old Blue Cloud grass. It can be directly digested or can be used to make rank four pills."

" Thousand year old Blue Cloud Grass is indeed a treasure for Violet Palace Expansion Realm experts. Eh, to think Mo Clan would allow you to gift this." Yang Shi sighed.

Being a Prince is really beneficial. Not only you get top tier cultivation materials and techniques, but you will be also backed by a powerful faction. Yang Shi couldn't help but be envious.

" Well, Although it's priceless for common people, It will be just an expensive item for the Second Prince. Hell, I wonder what sorts of treasures he keeps in his warehouse."

" A Quasi Earth grade treasure or a Heaven grade technique is not out of question." Yang Shi chuckled.

" Yeh." Mo Yi nodded.

They quickly went past the Inner city and arrived in the Core City. Yang Shi could see the vast majestic buildings. The Royal Castle looked like a small town itself.

The armored guards wearing the symbols of the Royal clan stood everywhere, monitoring the entire Core City.

Suddenly, Mo Yi and Yang arrived in a garden. Yang Shi could see various kinds of flowers, exotic and beautiful. However, there were more roses here.

" Brother Yang, we have arrived in the Rose Palace. This is the abode of Second Prince." Mo Yi spoke.

Suddenly, Two black armored guards appeared in front of them as they blocked the way.

Yang Shi and Mo Yi both showed the golden scrolls. The guards looked at them and went back, They didn't utter a single word.

Yang Shi's eyes narrowed slightly as he could see a cloud of darkness over them, thanks to his Celestial View.

Yang Shi could see that these two guards were at Quasi Violet Palace Expansion Realm. But what is more dreadful is the aura of darkness.

" It seems like they cultivate some forbidden technique which saps their vitality in exchange for explosive strength."

" If a dozen of them fights against a genuine Violet Palace Expansion Realm, they might not fall in disadvantage." Yang Shi thought.

Yang Shi and Mo Yi entered a vast hall, where it was crowded by youths. Each of them wore costly robes and dresses. Rich young masters and pretty young misses, all of them were here.

" Eh? Brother Yang? Brother in Law?" Liu Jiang shouted as he saw them.

Yang Shi raised his brows and Liu Jiang was surrounded by three girls. He already noticed him before, From looks, he looked like boasting in front of those girls.

" You see, He is my Brother in Law, the second young master of Mo clan, Mo Yi. And this is our new young, rising Master blacksmith Yang Shi." Liu Jie introduced them to the girls.

" Master grade blacksmith? Young master Mo?" The girls were surprised. They all knew Mo Yi's identity but hearing that Yang Shi is a Master grade blacksmith, they all felt shocked.

" Hehe, I greet the esteemed young masters. " One of the girls giggled as she crept closer to Mo Yi. Of course, Mo Yi was more than happy to accompany her.

" Cough, Cough." Yang Shi coughed lightly as he already detected danger. But Mo Yi didn't notice it.

" Eh? Are you ill, Brother Yang? Why not have a cup of…" Liu Jiang laughed but his face suddenly froze.

" El-Elder Sister?!" Liu Jiang almost spat his wine as he saw Liu Jie was standing silently behind Mo Yi. Yang Shi smacked his forehead.

" What happened, guys?" Mo Yi was confused as he turned to see. The girl beside him already hugged his shoulder.

Mo Yi's eyes sprang in horror as he saw Liu Jie was standing behind him. She suddenly smiled, a very sweet smile. But Mo Yi almost jumped to flee. To him, this smile was no different than the face of death.

" Ah, What is your name, sister? How do you know Young master Mo?" She politely asked the girl.

" I just met Young master Mo." The girl answered.

" Let me introduce myself, I am the young miss of Liu Clan, Fiancé of Mo Yi, Liu Jie." Liu Jie smiled.

" Ah, I see. So, It's Sister Jie." The girl smiled awkwardly. She could feel the faint oppressive aura coming from Liu Jie. Having enough understanding, she and other girls hurriedly took their leave.

" Liu Jie, It's not what you think. She was Liu Jiang's friend. Yeh, He is the one who took her to me." Mo Yi hurriedly said. Unfortunately, Liu Jie's fingers already pinched Mo Yi's waist. Mo Yi' whelped in pain

" Huh? HUH?! Brother in Law, how can you push me to the pit this easily?" Liu Jiang cried as Liu Jie's gaze fell on her.

" Ahem, Sister Jie, I can vouch for brother Mo." Yang Shi coughed as he spoke lightly.

Liu Jie sighed as he looked at all of them. " You guys are all hopeless." She spoke.

" Sister, We are just having some fun. Are we supposed to sit and gossip like women?" Liu Jiang grumbled.

" It's alright, Sister Jie. No matter what, How can brother Mo escape from your clutches? You will be the head wife, ah!" Yang Shi laughed.

" Hmph, Brother Yang, you are getting so naughty. I will complain to Sister Ruxue." Liu Jie's face reddened as she heard Yang Shi.

" Who is in whose clutch?!" Mo Yi raged, but looking at Liu Jie, he shut his mouth.

But then, the entire hall turned silent as a person entered with six black armored guards. He wore a white robe with a dragon pattern on his back. Only direct descendants of a Royal clan can use dragon insignia on their clothing.

The youth barely looked in his early twenties, with a lean shoulder and sharp brows. Yang Shi could feel a crafty look hidden in his deep gaze. 

Beside him, a girl and an old man walked. Yang Shi instantly recognized that she was Shao Zhu, the famed Vermillion Princess. 

As for the old man, although he looked simple, Yang Shi could see that he was a Violet Palace Expansion Realm expert.

" The Second Prince, Zhao Hao." Mo Yi spoke quietly. Yang Shi nodded as his gaze slightly turned cold.

Zhao Hao stopped as he looked around. Yang Shi had to admit that Zhao Hao was handsome.

" Ladies and gentlemen, Thank you for coming here. Tonight,  we shall celebrate wholeheartedly. Everyone, let's drink till we drown." Zhao Hao laughed as he raised the wine cup.

" Hahaha, Prince Hao, you are finally here." The person who spoke was Yue Wuji. He walked to Zhao Hao and greeted him. " This gift is something I specially prepared for you, Prince Hao."

Yue Wuji smiled as he spoke. The crowd crept closer to see what gift it was. After all, a gift from Yue Clan won't be too shabby, right?

" This box contains Wooden Beads of five thousand-year-old Vitality Tree. Just by wearing it, one's natural lifespan increases. Moreover, it can protect against dark and evil energy.." Yue Wuji spoke.
