"Like I said, I trust you won't tell the Sixth Prince."
Shen Wang said calmly.
Molan looked at Shen Wang: "Do you use this same tactic with other women?"
"No, with other women, I usually just marry them and give them a cozy home."
Shen Wang shook his head.
"It's the first time I've heard someone describe being a playboy so righteously."
Molan realized this guy already had wives and concubines, eight of them no less.
She tossed the Jade Scroll to Shen Wang: "Alright, continue your research, I'm leaving."
Molan swayed her hips as she was about to leave.
"Can you do me a favor?"
Shen Wang thought of something and suddenly spoke.
"What is it?"
"Help me poison one of the Four Great Medicine Boys of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow; they have quite an issue with me. I need them to come asking for my help."
Shen Wang said, actually wanting to inquire about the Soul Condensing Grass.
"Why should I help you?"
Molan retorted.
"When you absorbed the poison of these two Gu, you didn't tell the Sixth Prince or Silver Moon, right?"
Shen Wang said.
Molan frowned: "Are you threatening me?"
"No, when I deal with them, I want to help you through them to ask the Sixth Prince if he has any Soul Condensing Grass or related clues. It benefits both of us, doesn't it?"
Shen Wang changed his approach.
"I can just ask the Sixth Prince directly."
Molan snorted.
"Are you willing to owe him a favor?"
Shen Wang countered.
"You are really annoying."
Molan was a bit embarrassed and annoyed. She really didn't want too much to do with the Sixth Prince; otherwise, she wouldn't rather turn into a Body of Ten Thousand Poisons than let the Sixth Prince touch her. If she told him, he would definitely trouble her.
"Then let's say you agreed. Don't use poison too fiercely; my antidote might not work."
Shen Wang chuckled. With Molan's cooperation, it would be much easier to gather information about the Sixth Prince's medicinal materials through those Medicine Boys.
Outside, many subordinates greeted her with respect.
Thinking about Shen Wang's uniqueness, she sighed inwardly, with a bit of regret.
If only she had met this man earlier.
Shen Wang took the Jade Scroll and began to systematically raise Gu insects, gaining further understanding of the characteristics of these poisonous insects.
Looking at the listless poisonous insects, Shen Wang ordered his subordinates to bring in some Spiritual Snake Meat to feed them. The next day he went to the Earth Medicine, asking for some herbs suitable for poisonous insects.
Hearing that Shen Wang wanted to feed medicinal herbs to the poisonous insects, the latter was quite skeptical: "You brat aren't trying to line your pockets, are you? What kind of medicinal herbs do these insects need?"
"Ordinary insects naturally don't need any, but those two Gu Kings do. You think they can be raised like normal insects?"
Shen Wang replied calmly: "If you don't give me any, I'll have to apply to His Highness. I just worry that he will be annoyed by being bothered for such ordinary medicinal herbs."
"Alright, alright, there aren't many herbs here, I'll issue some for you."
The Earth Medicine didn't want too much trouble either. If he were blamed, he'd also be scolded.
"Earth Medicine, there's no need to target me. We're all working for His Highness. Fighting among ourselves will only lead to trouble."
Shen Wang said.
"When did I ever target you? I'm just following the rules here, aren't I making things easier for you now?"
Earth Medicine did not admit it.
Shen Wang said nothing more. He had already spoken up to this point. If Earth Medicine and his cohort were smart, it would be fine; if not... they couldn't blame him for being impolite.
He took the medicinal materials and left. As he entered the Dragon Ship, the Celestial Medicine saw him and said, "How can he leave with medicinal materials?"
"Big brother, he wanted to feed those Gu insects with medicinal herbs. I saw him bowing and scraping, and the herbs aren't too precious, so I reluctantly gave him some."
The Earth Medicine mocked, distorting the earlier scene, not wanting to reveal that he had been threatened.
"Hehe, such a person doesn't have much ability, just lucky to possess a useful bloodline for His Highness, thus holding his current position."
The Celestial Medicine chuckled: "People like him don't need courtesy; otherwise, they'll get cocky, not even putting us in their eyes."
At this time, Molan happened to pass by them. Hearing this, she frowned slightly.
She didn't feel that Shen Wang was cocky, but rather treated people equally. How could he be so disliked?
Feeling somewhat dissatisfied, thinking of what Shen Wang had asked her to do, her face turned cold.
Shen Wang returned to the Poisonous Insect Breeding Room and, based on the characteristics of the two Gu Kings, threw in different medicinal materials, and the Gu Kings indeed began to crunch away at them.
Seeing them eat like they'd been starving, Shen Wang was surprised: "They do need this stuff, I thought they could just eat other poisons, seems like it's because they can only eat those."
Shen Wang patted his head, realizing he was indeed still an outsider.
"Every trade has its specialty, it's like a mountain separating fields."
He muttered, beginning to adjust the way he raised Gu.
Half a month passed in this state, and the Gu Kings indeed grew much stronger, and their toxicity started to enhance continuously.
Shen Wang went home at ease, waiting for the birth of his fifth child.
As Jia'Er began to give birth, Shen Wang waited outside, glancing at the attribute panel.
"Ever since breaking through to the Golden Core, the realm description has become First-Layer Golden Core, probably it splits into ten small realms like the Tenth-Layer Qi Cultivation, gaining one realm with each child?"
"Waa waa~"
As Shen Wang mused, the sound of a baby crying came out, and the son, already named Lidong, was born.
"Ding, congratulations on obtaining your fifth Longevity Species. To protect the new life, your cultivation level has increased by one layer."
With the system prompt, Shen Wang's Golden Core immediately grew a size, his physique and spirit strengthened, and the realm of his cultivation technique advanced, as if he had cultivated for decades, making breakthroughs in Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
Apparently, after the birth of his son Lidong, Shen Wang's cultivation was raised to Second-Layer Golden Core, and Shen Wang vaguely understood why the system displayed First-Layer Golden Core.
Seeing the system's realm description become Second-Layer, indeed similar to the Qi Cultivation Stage, splitting the cultivation into ten layers, with each additional child bringing an opportunity to enhance a layer.
Though the improvement magnitude was not as large as during Foundation Establishment, the quality and weight of the enhancement were not inferior at all, and even somewhat surpassed it.
After all, what was being enhanced now was the cultivation at Golden Core Level.
In this way, the second child of Paper Kite, Lan Kui's first child, and the ten children in the bellies of the eight women would be enough to make him successfully advance to the Nascent Soul Realm.
By then, he could consider regaining his freedom.
"I only need the children of the eight women to be born for me to break through. This step only takes a month."
Shen Wang thought, spreading the enhanced mana to other acupoints, concealing the mana fluctuations.
He went in to accompany his family and children, stayed for another day, and when he returned to the Dragon Ship, Yellow Medicine was anxiously waiting at the ship's bow.
Seeing him appear, Yellow Medicine was dissatisfied: "Where did you go? Why are you back only now?"
"I went out to handle some matters, do you want to manage that too?"
Shen Wang responded coldly: "Why don't you go catch some live creatures and find poisons next time?"
"Find a fart, don't talk nonsense with me, Profound Medicine is poisoned, come help detoxify right now."
Yellow Medicine was impatient.
"What, are you my superior? I have to listen to you?"
Shen Wang wasn't moved, but was inwardly pleased; Profound Medicine's sudden poisoning was likely related to Molan.
For the past half month, there hadn't been any news, and he thought Molan wouldn't help.
It seemed that Molan was being cautious and should be looking for an opportunity.
"It's His Highness who asked us to find you. Don't believe me? Ask His Highness!"
Yellow Medicine snorted coldly.
"It was arranged by His Highness, with your attitude, why should I rush?"
Shen Wang took his time: "I still need to feed my Gu Kings."
"Consider it a plea from us, alright? Profound Medicine can't be harmed, or it will affect His Highness's alchemy."
Yellow Medicine also used matters related to the Sixth Prince to pressure Shen Wang.
"Okay, I got it."
Shen Wang answered calmly, but he didn't go with Yellow Medicine.
Yellow Medicine was furious and reached out to grab Shen Wang: "Get over here!"
Shen Wang's eyes turned cold, and he slapped back, with a bang, Yellow Medicine staggered from the blow.
"What, forgotten last time? Want a beating again?"
Shen Wang glared maliciously at Yellow Medicine.
Yellow Medicine's face was ugly, but he couldn't do anything about Shen Wang; he genuinely wasn't a match for this man.
"Shen Wang, don't cause trouble, save the person first."
Chief Steward Shen walked over, shook his head, and said to Shen Wang.
"Alright, for Chief Steward Shen's sake, I won't stoop to his level."
Shen Wang took the opportunity to back down, saying to Yellow Medicine: "Lead the way."
