According to legend, the immortal bird once lived on the top of a mountain in the east, and later left the east because of human infestation, through the ancient and mysterious calculation ritual, the leader of the Vulcan Cult successfully calculated the new habitat of the immortal bird, it is neither in the Eastern Islands, nor in the Western Islands, but located on an island between the two archipelagos of the East and the West. Finally determined that Paradise Island was the destination they were looking for.

While searching for a habitat for immortal birds, another operation is also being carried out in an orderly manner. To summon the immortal bird, you must build a golden altar, and building a golden altar requires a lot of gold, although as the prince of the Dahua Empire, Long Xin'er's father is rich and powerful, but gold is one of the hard currencies of the Dahua Empire, even if it is a dignified prince, the amount is not very large.

In the Dahua Empire, silver and copper coins are legal common circulation currency, and paper wealth vouchers represented by silver bills are also beginning to emerge, while gold is not a currency in the official sense, but it can be used as currency for transactions, and it is precisely because it has the attributes of currency that the large and small gold mines of the Dahua Empire are also controlled in the hands of the imperial ruling regime.

Therefore, if you want to get enough gold, the most effective way is to be able to control one or two gold mines, but the empire is very strict in the control of gold mines, there is a special gold mine yamen responsible for the exploration, mining and management of all gold mines in the country, and the leader of the gold mine yamen is usually served by the royal prince and reports directly to the emperor, so Long Xin'er's father wants to control the gold mine, he must win over the prince who is responsible for managing the gold mine.

At the very beginning, the gold mine yamen was in charge of the second prince of the empire, and the second prince had a warm temperament, both civil and military, and won the love of the emperor of the Dahua Empire, and the government and the opposition also praised it, and it was rumored that the second highness would definitely be the best candidate for the new emperor of the Dahua Empire in the future.

For the Second Highness, Long Xin'er's father also tried to win him over, but because the Second Highness only had the Jiangshan Sheji and it was the spring breeze that was proud, there was almost nothing that could tempt him, and the wooing ended in a very embarrassing failure.

The second highness couldn't win over, Long Xin'er's father turned his attention to the four highnesses of the empire, the mother of the four highnesses had a very good relationship with Long Xin'er's mother before becoming the imperial concubine, every time there was a major red and white wedding event in the palace, the imperial concubine would send someone to congratulate or mourn, and even when Long Xin'er had a birthday one year, she personally asked her son to send a congratulatory gift.

Speaking of which, this fourth highness is also talented and extraordinary, but because the emperor of the Dahua Empire thinks that his abuse is too heavy, he is afraid that once he sits on the throne of the emperor, the world will be unpredictable, so he was excluded from the list of candidates for the emperor early. For such a result, the Fourth Highness is naturally quite unconvinced, but in the Eastern Empire, which pays attention to the Three Principles and Five Constants, even if the Fourth Highness has all kinds of grievances in his heart, he can only pretend to be in his heart.

Later, the mother of the fourth royal highness died of illness, before the death of the heart can not let go of her son is her son, she begged the emperor, hoping to give her son a chance to display his talents, the emperor looked at his imperial concubine's pity, thinking that he did have some injustice to the four princes, although the four princes were embarrassed by the heavy responsibility of the world's unification, but after all, they were also talented, so they gave him the errand of the gold mine yamen.

However, in the eyes of the fourth prince, the reason why the emperor rewarded him with this errand was entirely because of his mother's plea and the emperor's mercy, and he was only humiliated by this errand, so he secretly resolved to reverse his fate.

It was at this time that Long Xin'er's father found him, and after some praise and regret, he secretly expressed his loyalty to the Fourth Highness and vowed to help the Fourth Highness ascend the throne. Of course, Long Xin'er's father did not tell His Highness about the Vulcan Sect and the Immortal Bird, but only made a request to hand over the two gold mines along the coast of the empire to his people to manage.

Because of his mother's relationship, His Royal Highness has always had a good impression of Long Xin'er's family, and Long Xin'er's father took a huge risk to take the initiative to stand up to him, so he agreed to Long Xin'er's father's request without hesitation.

In order to consolidate the relationship with the Four Highnesses and to make the Four Highnesses turn a blind eye as much as possible, Long Xin'er's father also took the initiative to propose to the emperor of Dahua to marry his daughter to the four princes, but the emperor of Dahua did not directly agree to this family affair on the grounds that Long Xin'er and the Four Highnesses were still young, but acquiesced in the marriage contract.

After knowing that she and the Fourth Highness of the marriage contract, Long Xin'er was calm on the surface, but she was very happy in her heart, the seed planted in her heart when she was a child has taken root and sprouted, although because of the constraints of secular rules, she can not directly contact the Fourth Highness, but whenever the Fourth Highness comes to the palace, Long Xin'er will quietly hide behind the curtain to watch her future husband, in her eyes, the once warm and bright little brother is now a personable beautiful boy.

After having a gold mine, Long Xin'er's father immediately sent people to mine frantically, and was ready to arrange for people to go to Paradise Island to start building the gold altar, but he got news from the front that Paradise Island had become an overseas territory of the British Empire.

In the face of this sudden change, Long Xin'er's father had a headache, and at this time, the leader of the Vulcan Sect proposed to him that he could send someone to live on Paradise Island with a special identity, and then quietly build an altar in private, but this candidate for dispatch must be very reliable, and must not leak any rumors, and in his heart, the most suitable person is Long Xin'er, who has been accepted by him as a disciple and the daughter of the prince.

Faced with the proposal of the leader of the Fire God Sect, Long Xin'er's father was a little hesitant at first, firstly, he could not bear to send his daughter to a distant overseas land, and secondly, after all, Long Xin'er had already made a marriage contract with the Fourth Highness, and if the emperor and the Fourth Highness asked, he would not be able to explain. So the leader of the Shenhuo Sect once again proposed that he could lie to the Four Highnesses, saying that they planned to recruit soldiers overseas to forge weapons, because the stakes were very high, so they needed to send Long Xin'er to supervise, and then let the Four Highnesses petition the emperor to withdraw the marriage contract with Long Xin'er.

Long Xin'er, who knew her father and her master's plan, was grief-stricken, she never expected that her father would sacrifice her happiness for the so-called dream of immortality, originally she still had illusions about the Fourth Highness, hoping that the Fourth Highness would veto her father's proposal for herself, but she didn't expect that the Fourth Highness, who only had the throne of Jiangshan in her mind, did not hesitate to ask the emperor to cancel the marriage contract.

Long Xin'er, who had no love, had thought about getting rid of it on the way overseas, but before leaving, the leader of the Shenhuo Sect privately found Long Xin'er and told her that in order to increase trust, in order to ensure that all the plans were foolproof and no one leaked, he had put a poison called Soul Attraction Grass in Long Xin'er's tea, after the Soul Attraction Grass was taken, as long as the antidote was taken regularly, it would not have any effect on the human body, but once the antidote was not taken after a while, then the person would bleed to death.

Although Long Xin'er, who had been preparing for a hundred years, was very angry, she thought that it was just a different way to die, so she didn't think so, but the Divine Fire Sect leader told her that the prince had also taken this poison, and the prince himself didn't know that if she didn't want to see her father die tragically, it was best to be a good apprentice.
