The man in royal attire, referred to as the Crown Prince, cried on the ground for a while. Finally, he lifted his head, wiped away the tears with his sleeve, and stood up. "Jing Qing, can we depart for the state of Qin now?"

Jing Qing, on the other hand, looked displeased. "Your Highness is too impatient. To go to the state of Qin, besides capturing Fan Yuqi, we still need a handy weapon."

"I've heard that there is a master swordsmith named Lady Xu in the state of Zhao. She has created a sword known as the Lady Xu Sword, which is extremely sharp and exquisitely crafted. It would be most suitable to bring it to the Qin Palace." The man placed a wooden box in front of the Crown Prince. "Once Your Highness obtains this sword, Jing Ke will go to the state of Qin."

Having said that, he turned around and walked back to the inn.

Though they didn't explicitly mention severed heads, the Qin Palace, and the treasure sword, their intentions were already crystal clear.

They wanted to deal with the King of Qin.

"The Lady Xu Sword?" The Crown Prince held the wooden box and murmured, "Lady Xu is already dead, where should I look for it?"

At this moment, a person finally emerged from the silent group behind him and whispered in his ear, "To seek the treasure sword, one must find the alchemist! Enter the Xianmen!"

I had been observing silently for a while, but now, the phrase "find the alchemist" piqued my interest.

So, I adjusted my robe and respectfully bowed to the man in royal attire before me.

"I am Lu Sheng, precisely an alchemist. I am willing to serve the Crown Prince!"
