In the hall, Cheng Zheng chatted with Chen An for a long time.
Until the servants outside came to remind him, he was somewhat surprised to find that the weather outside had changed.
When he arrived, it was still morning, but now it was already noon.
They had been chatting for more than two hours?
"It's rare to meet a kindred spirit, so we chatted for quite a long time."
Cheng Zheng smiled and then said, "If Master Chen has nothing else to do, why not stay here and have a meal together?"
"Sure."
On the side, Liu Chu found an opportunity and quickly said, "The roast goose here at Third Prince's place is the best nearby."
"In that case, I won't be polite."
Chen An hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
He stayed and had lunch here.
After finishing the meal, he took the opportunity to say goodbye and prepare to leave.
Although they had a good conversation, he had stayed here for too long.
It was time to go.
"You rarely come here. I don't have anything good to give you."
Cheng Zheng smiled and said, "But there is something that I think you will like, so I had it prepared for you. I hope you're satisfied."
As he spoke, the servant nearby respectfully handed him something.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Chen An thanked him, a little curious.
It seemed that Cheng Zheng had prepared the gift before he arrived. Could it be that he had already learned about his preferences in such a short time?
He was curious, but he didn't open the gift in front of the host. He just nodded at Cheng Zheng and then left.
Cheng Zheng stood there, watching Chen An leave. His face returned to its previous calm and serious expression.
"What do you think of this Lord Chen, cousin?"
Approaching the mansion, Cheng Zheng looked at Liu Chu and asked.
"He is very talented."
Liu Chu smiled, "At least more talented than I am."
"The conversation between you and Lord Chen just now, I couldn't even get a word in."
"Is that so?"
Cheng Zheng glanced at Liu Chu, "I think you just didn't want to talk."
"But speaking of Lord Chen, he is indeed a rare person."
Liu Chu smiled and continued, "Most people who are successful in martial arts tend to disregard etiquette and do not observe it too much, but he is quite the opposite. He has extraordinary skills of the younger generation yet still holds onto manners, truly rare."
"His talent is also outstanding."
Cheng Zheng added, "He is not lacking in talent, and what's rare is his profound insights at such a young age, showing that he is extraordinary."
This was Cheng Zheng's high evaluation of Chen An.
"Even more rare is that he can get along with you as if you've known each other for years."
Liu Chu smiled and said, "I have met many people before, but he is the first one who gets along with you so well."
"This person does fit my taste."
Cheng Zheng nodded, "I hope he is willing to join us."
"If we have such a talent to assist us, no matter what we do in the future, it will be much smoother."
"I'm not sure if he's willing to join."
Liu Chu smiled, "But with the gift you prepared for him, I'm sure he will be very satisfied."
"Let's hope so."
Cheng Zheng forced a smile on his serious face and said.
On the other side, Chen An returned to his mansion.
Back at his residence, he locked the door and went back to his room alone. He then opened the gift box given by Cheng Zheng.
The box felt light, and the contents inside didn't seem heavy either.
Upon opening it, Chen An was stunned.
Because inside, there was a scripture.
The scripture was made of a unique metal, and each page was made of thin layers of metal.
And on the surface of the scripture, a few large words appeared.
Mysterious Ice Power!
"Could it be..."
Chen An's heart tightened, and he quickly flipped through the scripture.
Sure enough.
The scripture contained an advanced internal refining method.
And it was a method that could reach the Gang Qi directly!
Mysterious Ice Power, this practice could cultivate extreme cold internal energy, even condensing true ice Gang Qi, turning the ground into ice with a simple movement at the completion stage.
Realizing what was in front of him, Chen An's breathing unconsciously began to quicken.
It wasn't that he had no integrity, but he just really wanted it.
Having awakened his memories in this world for ten years, he had been thinking about how to obtain a superior method to cultivate Gang Qi for the last decade, but he couldn't do it at all. It was only when he finally chose to take the route of Fourth Princess that he had a glimmer of hope.
And now, his dream thing appeared so easily in front of him?
It was a kind of surreal feeling.
Like winning a big prize.
After a while, Chen An recovered and remembered Cheng Zheng's smile from before, shaking his head with a bitter smile.
"This is truly a generous gift."
He muttered to himself.
Cheng Zheng was indeed very thoughtful.
The gift he gave, Chen An was extremely satisfied with.
It was clear that Cheng Zheng had done his research.
The Gang Qi cultivated by Mysterious Ice Power belongs to the Yin cold attribute, which was very suitable for him and his Yin body technique.
For Chen An himself, this was also a very suitable martial art for him to advance Gang Qi.
And the meaning behind this gift was also very important.
Giving gifts to others must have a purpose.
As the Third Prince, Cheng Zheng gave such a generous gift without reason. What did he want to achieve?
Standing still, Chen An hesitated for a moment, then carefully opened the scripture to confirm.
The confirmation result was satisfactory.
With his extensive martial arts knowledge, Chen An could see that there were no issues with this internal refining method.
It made sense.
Since the Third Prince sent such a generous gift to pull him over, it was unlikely to be fake.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste to offend someone for no reason?
Confirming the authenticity of the internal refining method, Chen An calmed down slightly and immediately began to practice, trying to refine it.
Not long after, the template of the Mysterious Ice Power appeared in front of him.
Yes, even after being projected into this world, Chen An's upgrade template was still there, and all functions were working properly, except for projection, all other functions could be used.
In other words, if Chen An wanted, he could completely raise his martial arts level by consuming source energy, just like at the White Family.
He just chose not to do it.
He didn't because there was no need.
After all, his body's aptitude was good, and he was rebuilt. If he wasted source energy to improve, it wouldn't be reasonable.
More importantly, there was no concept of replenishing source energy in this projected world.
Without replenishing source energy, it meant that Chen An couldn't supplement it, he would only lose it every time he used it, so he had to use it sparingly.
After all, saving was a virtue!
In the end, it was just that he was poor.
If Chen An had hundreds or thousands of source energy points on him, he wouldn't care about saving or not.
How much he could use would depend on how much was available.
But now wasn't that the case?
So Chen An could only rely on his hard work.
Fortunately, his body's aptitude was quite good. Even if he practiced normally, it wouldn't take much time to refine Mysterious Ice Power to the level where he could produce Gang Qi.
This was what he thought and what he did.
At this point, the importance of the Fourth Princess was starting to show.
It was well known that practicing martial arts was very costly.
In the past, Chen An was penniless, and it took him a full ten years to restore his Yin body technique to the fifth level.
But now, he didn't need to do that.
He had gone through the most difficult time.
This is where the generous leadership of the Fourth Princess comes in.
Despite her willful and spoiled nature, and somewhat lack of ambition, in certain aspects, she was quite similar to Princess Bai Qing.
She was generous and extravagant.
With the Fourth Princess, Chen An didn't have to worry about simple things like herbs and medicines.
This provided him with good conditions for cultivation.
And so, the days passed peacefully, one day at a time.
Soon, it was half a month later.
After half a month, Chen An received another invitation.
This time, the person who invited him was even more surprising.
Because this person had the same surname as him, was from the Dahua royal family, and had a more prestigious status than Fourth Princess and Third Prince Cheng Zheng.
This person was named Cheng Ming, the Second Prince of Dahua.
"Please tell His Highness that I will definitely come at that time."
Chen An looked at the messenger who had come to invite him, and seriously replied before preparing to leave.
Being invited by two princes consecutively in a short period of time was something Chen An had not expected.
It seemed that his previous performances had caught the attention of these people and made them see him in a different light.
Regardless, for Chen An, these invitations were another good opportunity.
He naturally had no reason to refuse.
The next day, in the early morning, he left home and quickly arrived at the Second Prince's mansion.
Compared to the Third Prince Cheng Zheng's residence, the Second Prince's mansion was more magnificent.
In the hall, Cheng Zheng chatted with Chen An for a long time.
Until the servants outside came to remind him, he was somewhat surprised to find that the weather outside had changed.
