After practicing the immortal technique for a few days, Zhu Houzhao found that he seemed to have really mastered some tricks, with wind emitting under his feet and his body feeling much lighter.

He didn't know what caused the situation in front of him, so he could only think that Sima Zhenren's immortal skills had come into effect. In this way, the naughty child was more interested in the way of cultivation, and even followed the instructions above to practice the immortal skills in class, close his eyes and adjust his breathing and meditate.

Those lecturers in the East Palace have long been used to being distracted in the prince in class. If Zhu Houzhao doesn't make trouble in class, the lecturers in the East Palace will not be angry with him. They usually turn a blind eye.

At this time, even the eunuchs of the East Palace such as Zhang Yuan began to curry favor with Sima Zhenren.

As a guest official of the palace, Sima Zhenren often traveled between the Eastern Palace, between the Ganqing Palace, and even occasionally entered the Kunning Palace. You should know that in the palace, except for the emperor and the crown prince, there are only a few people who can enter the inner palace, especially men with complete bodies. In the past, only the two brothers of the Zhang family could enter, but now Sima Zhenren has this privilege.

On this day, Zhu Houzhao became familiar with the methods he practiced again. He was leisurely and felt like he was flying in the clouds. Just as his soul wandered outside the sky, the lecturer Liang Chu suddenly asked: "The prince looked distant these days. I wonder if he had any doubts about what he learned?"

Zhu Houzhao opened her eyes and glanced at Liang Chu, shook her head and said, "Mr. Liang said, even if I don't understand, I will go back to participate in the research. As for whether I don't understand... Mr. Liang doesn't need to worry too much!"

After saying that, Zhu Houzhao closed her eyes. She wanted to continue to feel like she was floating in the air, but she lost her state. Fortunately, there was a pot of "fairy water" sent by Zhenren Sima in front of her. Zhu Houzhao took a sip and immediately "fairy energy" came to her body again, enjoying the light and fluttering pleasure again.

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself: "The old man from the bull's nose is really capable. I have tried the magic method. If I hadn't practiced myself, I might have really thought I had encountered a liar, but now it seems that I am wise and not conscious of talents... No, it is my clumsy and not conscious of immortals!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao admired the immortal skills more and his trust in Sima Zhenren became increasingly greater, but he did not know that he had fallen into the trap from the beginning.

The reason why Sima Zhenren was able to gain the trust of the people in the palace was not only the luck of being shitty, but also the tricks he learned from the market to cheat, which Zhu Houzhao, who received orthodox education since childhood, did not understand.

When Liang Chu heard Zhu Houzhao's words, he shook his head helplessly.

For the Eastern Palace lecturers of the Ming Dynasty, the one who had the least power and status was the Hongzhi Dynasty. Zhu Houzhao was the most arrogant and domineering princes of the Ming Dynasty. Such a result would not have occurred in any other era. It can only be said that Zhu Youzhang had just one son, spoiled his son.

...

...

Zhu Houzhao finished his study very early in the afternoon because Emperor Hongzhi was worried that the evil demons on the prince were still not completely expelled and needed to rest. He stipulated that Zhu Houzhao study for no more than two hours a day.

As a result, the work of the lecturer in the East Palace was much easier, and Zhu Houzhao also had more time to play, but he had now devoted himself to the "Big Way" of practicing immortal methods.

After finishing his studies, Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to return to the back of Xiefang Palace and asked Zhenren Sima to ask for advice on how to cultivate immortality.

As a result, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Sima Zhenren packing things in a panic. Zhu Houzhao walked over curiously and asked, "Old Master Niu Niu, have you found any advanced cultivation method and are you going to teach it to me?"

Sima Zhenren heard the sound of footsteps, but it was too late to clean up. He could barely stuff the things into his arms when the door was pushed open.

When he saw that it was the prince, he became even more panicked because the spells he used to the prince were all deceitful tricks. He even used some medicine powder for the prince. These medicine powders were contraindicated products in the market and would have hallucinations after taking them. If they were found in the palace, they would be alive.

Sima Zhenren suddenly calmed down when he faced the prince's question. He found that Zhu Houzhao did not doubt his behavior at all. While feeling relieved, he was also curious: "Didn't the prince be taught by a famous teacher and has strong ability in speaking and doing things? Why did the prince I met look like a child, not only did not observe his expression, but also spoke in a mind. He was not as good as the children of ordinary officials?"

Sima Zhenren didn't know that Zhu Houzhao was influenced by the martial arts novels written by Chen Xi, and always felt that the masters were hiding in the market. After eliminating the suspicion of Sima Zhenren, he thought that the other party must have many secret techniques that outsiders did not know. Because in martial arts novels, every master would leave secrets that were not passed on to maintain his authority, so many martial arts were passed down from generation to generation and were inexplicably lost.

Sima Zhenren smiled reluctantly and said, "The prince suddenly came in, which surprised me a little. I was distributing fairy water before, which was not worthy of being told by outsiders. The prince came in such a hurry, but I don't know what happened?"

Zhu Houzhao widened her eyes in surprise: "What? Bull's nose... Real person, do you mean that fairy water can be mixed? Isn't fairy water produced by collecting the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon?"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that it was a bit disrespectful to call Sima Zhenren "the old Taoist with a bull's nose", so she changed her words to call him "the real person".

When Sima Zhenren was secretly happy, he thought to himself: "What kind of messy things the prince said? Why is his words and actions so unreasonable? Is it because his gentlemen just teach him profound things that made his words and behaviors separate from the category of ordinary people?"

"this……"

Sima Zhenren thought about it and smiled, "The prince is right, but it is not the case. Although the immortal water is made of the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, it always requires people who are good at immortal arts to master the degree, just like a cup of tea. If only tea and water are only allowed to make a cup of fragrant tea, different tea leaves will have different tastes when brewing tea. The advantages and disadvantages are only dependent on the techniques of making tea, and this immortal is one of the best! I wonder if I describe it like this, does the prince understand the mystery?"

Zhu Houzhao was fourteen years old. Even though he opened his horizons through his trip to Jiangnan, his mind was immature and easily frightened. The reason why he believed in Chen Xi before was that he was impressed by Chen Xi's extensive knowledge, and now what Sima Zhenren said was that he did not know. In addition, the metaphor was simple and easy to understand, which greatly impressed him!

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "The real person has just prepared some fairy water? Can I give this prince some? This prince will reward you well. What do you think?"

Sima Zhenren sneered in his heart. He had actually seen it long ago. Although Zhu Houzhao had a lofty status and was the only one in the East Palace, unfortunately, Zhu Houzhao didn't have anything in his hand that he felt he cared about, at least not at the moment.

Even the emperors today attach great importance to it, and Sima Zhenren does not attach much importance to the rewards of the prince.

However, it is also something he must do to scare the naughty child in front of him.

Sima Zhenren smiled and said, "Those who cultivate immortals don't care about rewards, because we are pursuing the great way to become immortals. If we only want to be obsessed with all kinds of worldly things, we may lose the resources of immortals. The prince does not have to test my way with the temptation of the world!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said solemnly: "There is some truth to the real person's words, but some things still need to be discussed. Cultivating immortals is to achieve the great way, but you cannot be mean or wronged in this process. As long as you can complete your cultivation, you will be more carefree and happy in normal times? If you have to be an ascetic monk, this cultivation will lose interest. What can you do after becoming an immortal? By then, you will be alone and your life will not be exciting enough!"

Sima Zhenren was happy: "I still hope you will reward me with more things. Now I am just a few words to you. What I care about is power and money. With these two things, what I want is power. Of course, the most important thing is power. With money, even if you have it for a while, it will be taken away. The biggest thing you can give me is power. When you become emperor in the future, I will become prosperous. At that time, I will be happy and happy. You don't need to remind me!"

Thinking this in my heart, Sima Zhenren could not show it and remained righteous: "What kind of mentality does the prince have to cultivate immortality? That is the prince's business. I have never tried the glory and wealth of the world since I practiced immortality. If the prince can go smoothly in the process, I will have more understanding... But now the prince is better to cultivate his mind and nature, so that he can get the opportunity to become an immortal!"

Zhu Houzhao had a headache.

He couldn't imagine what he used to make the person who had achieved success in practicing immortal skills surrender. If he could completely convince this person, he could draw out more practice methods.

He was afraid that this master would hide many methods. After all, people's cultivation of immortals has nothing to do with the world. He felt that even if he wanted to kill this Sima Zhenren, he would not be afraid of death if he had immortal methods. Moreover, he would not be afraid of death if he had merits against the Zhu family. He could not kill him just by saying that he could not threaten death. Since he could not use death to threaten, there was only one way to tempt him.

If the other party doesn’t even take temptation, then it’s a pity to see if the other party is willing to teach it.

Zhu Houzhao said: "You can do whatever you say. Now I have achieved some achievements in practicing your method. Come and ask you for advice. I have now practiced to the level of fasting. It seems that there are many difficulties in practicing downwards. I feel that the fairy energy always floats around my body, but cannot return to the roots..."

Naughty children can't learn anything else, and they can comprehend two things with evil ways. Even Zhenren Sima himself forgot many things. Zhu Houzhao actually said it clearly, which made Sima Zhenren a headache. Of course, with Sima Zhenren's ability to deceive for many years, he still easily fooled Zhu Houzhao.
