Chapter 206 Planning
When Gu Yuchuan woke up, it was a week later. The awards ceremony had already ended. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the maid beside him, who was almost crying.
"The Demon King has awakened. I will go and inform the Empress immediately."
"Your Majesty?" He frowned. It seemed he was in the Crown Prince's residence. Indeed, given his relationship with the Crown Prince, staying here while unconscious was the most appropriate thing to do.
Soon, he met the Crown Prince Consort. Now, having been formally conferred the title, the Crown Prince Consort exuded nobility, and one could even faintly see the phoenix aura emanating from her. Her cultivation had also improved considerably, demonstrating that the status of Crown Prince Consort had brought her great benefits.
She gave Gu Yuchuan a storage bag: "Your Majesty, this is your reward. I don't know what it is, please take a look for yourself."
Gu Yuchuan wasn't in a hurry to look. He already had it all, and everything was over. He couldn't decide what the reward was anyway, so there was no difference between playing it a little earlier and looking at it a little later.
"Thank you. Tell me about what happened while I was unconscious."
She nodded, found a place to sit down, and began to speak.
That day, the Heavenly Soldier returned after only one attack. The Holy Son gave him a pill, so he was actually not seriously injured. He had been unconscious for so long because he was suppressed by a creature with an excessively high life level. Otherwise, he would have woken up long ago.
On that very day, they were awarded prizes. It is said that the Holy Son also obtained the status of a candidate for the Chosen One. Gu Yuchuan thought of what the Holy Son said about having a reason to win. It seems that this is the status he wanted.
This Holy Son was actually a very upright person, almost to the point of being rigid. Although it was not wrong in terms of the rules, it made him feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, he invited Gu Yuchuan to Longhu Mountain a month later to attend his ceremony to become the young sect leader, and prepared something to apologize to him.
Next, the high-ranking officials of the human and demon races held a one-day meeting. On the third day, the main force departed, but quite a few demons did stay behind. They were thinking of coming to the human race to learn advanced technologies or to travel around. Gu Yuchuan himself also had this idea, after all, his talent for weapon crafting had reached its limit, and if he wanted to continue to advance, he would need to continue learning.
He knew very well that the human race's weapon-refining techniques were far superior to those of their demon race. If he could systematically learn them, it would definitely be of great benefit to him.
The Fox Immortal Venerable also left him a message, telling him to return to the demon race within six months. If he was late, he would miss a great opportunity. He knew that the opportunity was to attack the Canglan Realm. He couldn't miss it. The benefits of invading another world were much better than wandering around the Qingyun Realm on his own.
Having clearly learned about what had happened in the past seven days, he felt more confident and knew what he needed to do next.
"Okay, I understand. You see, if the Crown Prince comes back, let me go see him. I have something to discuss with him."
The Crown Princess knew that Gu Yuchuan meant he was declining guests, so she stood up and said, "Alright, if you have nothing else to do, I'll take my leave. I'll let you know when His Highness returns."
After he left, Gu Yuchuan set up an array before looking at his reward. This was the reward for second place, it couldn't be bad, and he was still very excited.
After opening the storage bag, he widened his eyes. Good heavens, it was indeed incredibly powerful. There were only two kinds of items in total, but each one was extremely precious and something he desperately needed.
The first item is three Dragon Blood Fruits. These are incredibly valuable to dragons. It is said that they can only grow on the corpses of true dragons and divine dragons after they die. True dragons are not like the two-clawed dragon Mo Jiao Yao Jiang, but true high-grade exotic beasts, four-clawed dragons. In the entire Qingyun Realm, there is only one such dragon, the Demon Lord. Therefore, these things are extremely precious.
Gu Yuchuan had a premonition that after he ate it, there was a high probability that he would become a dragon. At that time, he should be called the Azure Dragon Demon King, which would sound much more imposing than the current Azure Scale Demon King.
The second option is to increase the materials for the Myriad Dragons Diagram, which are the essence of demonic beasts and spiritual water. However, Gu Yuchuan's current strength is not enough to upgrade his natal magic weapon, so he can only wait.
He gripped the storage bag in his hand tightly. He was truly satisfied with this reward, as it greatly increased his strength and potential. Just then, the voice of the Crown Prince came from outside.
"The Demon King is awake. May I come in?"
Gu Yuchuan removed his protective gear: "Alright, the Crown Prince can come in directly."
He had barely finished speaking when the Crown Prince pushed open the door and entered. The Crown Prince now looked incredibly spirited. Indeed, the Prince Zhao, with whom they had been constantly at odds, had been demoted to a county prince and even imprisoned. He also learned that his great-grandfather was a Nascent Soul stage expert, making his position very secure. He had nothing to fear and was naturally full of confidence.
"The Demon King's divine might is unparalleled. The competition that day has now spread throughout the entire world. Everyone knows that the two prodigies of the human and demon races are now peerless and have the ability to fight beyond their level. This increase in fortune makes me envious."
Gu Yuchuan sighed: "There is no first place in literature, but there is no second place in martial arts. No matter what, I have lost, and I accept it. With such a background, it is indeed difficult to compete with them."
Seeing that he still cared about this matter, the Crown Prince simply stopped mentioning it: "I wonder what business the Demon King has with me? I will do my best to fulfill it for you."
Gu Yuchuan nodded: "I do need your help. I've become a level three weapon refiner now, but that's all the legacy I have. I hope you can introduce me to a weapon refining master so I can study under him for half a month."
The Crown Prince pondered for a moment: "Our Eastern Palace does indeed have a fourth-level weapon-refining master, which is already the pinnacle that can be achieved in our mortal realm. However, he holds a high position and wields great power, so I cannot make the decision myself. I can only ask him for help and then speak to my father. As for whether it is possible, I dare not say it directly."
Gu Yuchuan nodded and took out a levitation stone from his pocket. It was leftover from his own crafting of magical artifacts: "Please give this to me as half a month's tuition. I don't want to learn for nothing. Please take this seriously."
The Crown Prince sensed his determination: "Alright, then I'll go see my father. He'll still give my father face. With my father's intervention, there won't be any problems. I'll go right now."
After saying that, he left. For a moment, Gu Yuchuan had nothing to do. He wondered if he should take this opportunity to simulate it once.
