Chapter 3: Supernatural Powers, Imperial Edict Arrives
Xia Chengzong said to the three boys, "After you go downstairs, don't forget to recite your lessons. I will check them again tomorrow."
"If you still can't do it, you'll have to double the effort. Have you taken note?"
"I've got it!"
"I've got it!"
"I've got it!"
Xia Chengkun's negative emotions +1 +1 +1
Xia Caiwei's negative emotions +1 +1 +1
夏承志负面情绪+1+1+1+1+1
Xia Chengzong looked at Xia Chengzhi with some hostility. Xiao Ba is really something else; his negative emotions are as good as two people's.
Looks like we didn't handle it lightly enough!
Xia Chengzong said, "Alright, you guys go down and have some fun."
Upon hearing this, the three children felt as if they had heard heavenly music, and they quickly turned around and skipped away.
After everyone left, Xia Chengzong closed the door and began to unlock the jade.
The thousand emotion points vanished instantly, and the jade in my mind emitted a seven-colored light.
Before long, a piece of information appeared in his mind.
It turns out that this jade stone is called the Spirit Jade. In his previous life, after he crashed into a wall, his blood and soul merged into the jade, thus binding him to it.
Baoyu took his soul through the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, exhausting his energy in the process.
After seven years, it has finally been reopened.
This magical jade was originally 36,501 stubborn stones, each 12 zhang high and 24 zhang wide, that the goddess Nuwa refined at the Wuji Cliff in the Great Wilderness Mountain.
Nuwa only used 36,500 pieces of jade, and this piece is the one that was left over.
It needs to absorb the seven emotions and six desires of humankind and experience the trials of the mortal world before it can transcend them.
As the host, Xia Chengzong is responsible for creating and absorbing emotions, from which he can gain many benefits.
Xia Chengzong frowned slightly upon seeing this.
A magical jade? A stone for mending the sky?
Isn't this the jade that Jia Baoyu was born with, the one he was born with in his mouth?
How did you end up here?
Or is it that the Jade of Spiritual Enlightenment is not a single piece?
Xia Chengzong asked, but the Spirit Jade was very aloof and did not give any explanation, so he had no choice but to give up.
Next, he began to study it carefully to see what benefits he could gain from it.
Soon, he discovered that with the Spirit Jade unsealed, he could choose one of five supernatural powers.
Superpower 1: Exceptional Intelligence (White) 10000 Emotion Points can be upgraded to Photographic Memory (Blue)
Supernatural Power 2: Robust Body (White) 10000 Emotional Points can be upgraded to Robust Body (Blue).
Supernatural Power 3: Swordsmanship Talent (White) 10000 Emotional Points can be used to advance to Swordsmanship Talent (Blue).
Superpower 4: Keen Observation (White) 10000 Emotion Points can be upgraded to Keen Observation (Blue)
Supernatural Power 5: Exquisite Beauty (White) - Can be upgraded to Handsome and Charming (Blue) with 10000 Emotion Points.
These five supernatural abilities are all of the lowest level, white quality, and can be upgraded using emotion points.
These five supernatural powers are all very useful.
He wanted to have them all, but unfortunately he could only choose one.
Fortunately, choosing one does not mean you can never unlock the other four supernatural powers.
You can still redeem it using emotion points later.
In that case, what he needs to choose now is the supernatural power that will be most useful to him.
After pondering for a while, Xia Chengzong finally decided to choose the fifth supernatural power: Powdered Jade Carving.
This seems to be the most useless supernatural power.
But in Xia Chengzong's eyes, it was not so.
His first supernatural ability is intelligence, which is more than enough for him given his experience from two lifetimes. This supernatural ability is just icing on the cake for him, not a necessity.
The same applies to the second and third supernatural powers; they will make him stronger, but neither is essential.
On the contrary, the fourth supernatural power was of great use to him.
The Prince's Mansion has been sealed off for seven years now, and he speculates that it will not be long before it is unsealed.
After the Prince's Palace is unsealed, his keen insight will be of great help to him.
But in the end, he still prepared to choose the fifth supernatural power: Powdered Jade Carving.
Because he believes that this is a genuine need!
The struggle for the throne is a long process, and in his view, the most important thing is to make a good impression on the emperor when they first meet!
This will be the first step he takes in his struggle for the throne!
After making his decision, he chose the fifth supernatural power without hesitation: the Jade-like Beauty.
Soon, a misty aura emanated from the jade pendant, permeating his entire body.
Xia Chengzong felt a warm current flow through his body, which felt pleasant and comfortable.
This makeup treatment wasn't just applied to the face, but to the entire body, transforming the whole body.
Not only does it involve facial adjustments, but it also includes body sculpting.
Soon after, the heat disappeared, and the modification was complete.
Xia Chengzong walked curiously to the dressing mirror and looked at himself.
One glance was enough to startle him.
He was originally quite handsome, and as a member of the royal family, his genes had been modified generation after generation, so how could he be ugly?
And now, it has reached an even higher level.
This also gave him a very direct understanding of the idiom "powdered and jade-like".
Just then, several little ones suddenly ran in from outside, shouting in a panic:
"Third Brother, hurry! They're telling us to change our clothes and go out to receive the imperial decree."
"Hey, Third Brother seems to have gotten even better looking since I last saw him!"
"Nonsense, how can someone suddenly become more attractive? Wait, they really do look better!"
"Wow, where's the justice? Why can Third Brother become so handsome, but I can't?"
The children were all astonished by the change in Xia Chengzong's appearance.
In reality, Xia Chengzong still looks the same as before, with no major changes to his facial features, only some minor adjustments.
However, it was these subtle adjustments that made his appearance more perfect, more adorable, and more endearing.
This made the three little ones extremely envious and jealous.
The group quickly changed their clothes and then went to the front.
At this moment, Prince Zhongzheng and his wife, along with several concubines, had all changed their clothes and were waiting for them to go out together.
Their faces showed grief, and Prince Chungjang even shed tears.
When Prince Zhongzheng cried, the princess and several concubines could no longer hold back and began to sob.
Seeing this, the other children also started crying, except for Xia Chengzong.
Instead of crying, he found it somewhat amusing.
Xia Chengzong concluded that this imperial edict was probably only to lift the seal on the Prince's Mansion, which had frightened his father and the others to such an extent.
He hurried forward and helped Prince Chung-jung up, saying, "Father, why are you so sad? Perhaps it's a good thing."
"Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year. Even if something bad has happened, we cannot choose this day to announce the imperial decree."
Upon hearing these words, Prince Chungjang was immediately invigorated.
He quickly said, "Yes, yes, Zong'er is right! Maybe it's a good thing? Isn't that right, Zong'er?"
Xia Chengzong hurriedly said, "That's right, Father. Let's hurry out and not keep the angel waiting."
Prince Zhongzheng nodded and helped Xia Chengzong walk outside.
Xia Chengzong felt extremely heavy, and knew that his cheap father was still very afraid.
When they went outside, Xia Shouzhong had already set up an incense table.
When Prince Chung-jung saw the person delivering the imperial edict, a look of surprise and delight immediately appeared on his face.
He exclaimed, "Fifth Brother, is it you who came to deliver the imperial decree?"
The Fifth Prince waved his hand and said, "Please accept the decree first, Third Brother. We can catch up later."
