On the top of Qingtian Peak, there are rows of palaces and houses, which are the residences of the inner disciples and deacons.
The lights were on in various palaces and mansions, but most people were asleep or doing exercises in their rooms.
Ji Ling, who was wearing a green robe, was standing at the door of a certain room, holding a square sandalwood box in her hand.
He reached out and knocked on the door a few times, and soon a handsome young man in white robe opened the door and welcomed him in.
When the two entered the room, they exchanged greetings with smiles on their faces.
Ji Ling bowed her hands to the handsome young man and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, I have been here for two days and have only recently settled down. Brother Lu has just come to visit Brother Lu. Please don't be surprised."
As he spoke, he held the sandalwood box in both hands and handed it to the handsome young man.
"Brother Lu, this is the Millennium Fire Jade brought by Brother Yu from Qingyun Kingdom as a gift to congratulate Brother Lu for entering the inner sect. I hope Brother Lu will accept it!"
The handsome young man is none other than the eldest prince of Changfeng Kingdom, Lu Mingyang, who entered the inner gate just two days ago.
When he heard the words 'thousand-year fire jade', his eyes suddenly brightened up. He opened the sandalwood box and took a look. Sure enough, there was a piece of beautiful red jade lying quietly in the box.
Lu Mingyang accepted the sandalwood box, quickly expressed his gratitude to Ji Ling, and said with a smile: "Ji Ling, you and I have known each other for many years, and we have a deep brotherly relationship. It's enough for you to come and visit me, why do you need to give such a generous gift?"
Ji Ling quickly smiled and said: "It is precisely because we have known each other for many years that I learned that Brother Lu is looking for elixirs and treasures that can cure cold poison, so I specially sent this piece of thousand-year fire jade."
Lu Mingyang nodded repeatedly and said with gratitude: "Ji Ling, you are so loyal! Okay, I will accept this thousand-year fire jade."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words and then began to drink tea.
Lu Mingyang took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said with regret: "Originally, I thought, Ji Ling, you would definitely be able to enter the Qingtian Sect as the number one in the competition, but I didn't expect... that you would be taken over by that guy named Ji Tianxing.
It’s such a pity that we finished first!”
When Ji Tianxing was mentioned, Ji Ling's face darkened and she sneered, "It's all my fault that bastard Ji Tianxing took away my first place and forced me to settle for second place!"
"Fortunately, I had another chance. After Brother Lu entered the inner gate, I took your place and entered Fengyun Court as I wished."
"But even so, I have been criticized by many disciples. Damn Ji Tianxing, I will never let him go!"
Lu Mingyang raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "Speaking of this matter, I was also about to ask you, Ji Ling, what kind of opportunity did you get? That you are so valued by the sect?"
Ji Ling showed a confident smile and said: "When I came to the sect, I came with three genius disciples and two deacons."
"I once heard Senior Brother Hao Meng mention by chance that I am the person the sect is specifically looking for. I seem to have some other use to them."
"However, I don't know the specific reason."
Lu Mingyang nodded and said with a smile: "No matter what the reason is, I want to congratulate you in advance!"
"Ji Ling, if you are useful to the sect, the sect will value you and cultivate you. You will definitely have a bright future in the future!"
"After half a year, when you pass the assessment and enter the inner gate, we will work together to support each other and make progress!"
Ji Ling cupped her hands and said with a smile: "That's natural!"
Lu Mingyang was silent for a moment, then continued: "On the day of the initiation ceremony, I met Ji Tianxing. I actually knew that kid. He was quite arrogant!"
Ji Ling raised her eyebrows and asked in a puzzled tone: "Oh? Brother Lu, how do you know Ji Tianxing? Tell me."
Lu Mingyang sneered and said: "That was in Fengyang City. That boy Ji Tianxing helped his friend and stole the Ten Thousand Spirits Jade Pillow that I was bound to get, ruining my plan!"
"Since he has also come to Qingtian Sect, this is exactly what I want. I will punish him severely!"
Ji Ling showed a playful smile, "Since Brother Lu also has issues with him, then he is our common enemy!"
"By the way, that kid Ji Tianxing was also unlucky. On the second day after entering Fengyun Court, he stole a spiritual fruit from the elixir garden and was punished by the deacon to sweep the floor for a month."
"He will definitely be at the bottom of the assessment in a month's time, hum!"
Lu Mingyang immediately sneered: "Is there such a thing? Then he really deserves it!"
"I have just settled down in the inner sect in the past two days. When I have some time, I will also start to deal with him!"
Ji Ling glanced at him, and the smile on her face became more playful, "I was still wondering if that was done by you, Brother Lu."
"Now it seems that before the two of us take action against Ji Tian, someone else has already taken action against him!"
Lu Mingyang nodded and said with a sneer: "This means that those who do evil will be punished! Ji Tianxing is too arrogant and domineering, and has made too many enemies. There are still others in the sect who want to deal with him!"
"As a result, sooner or later he will be tortured to death or expelled from Qingtian Sect!"
Ji Ling sneered proudly: "If the result is like this, I'm really looking forward to it, hahaha..."
Afterwards, the two whispered a few words in a low voice before Ji Ling said goodbye and left with satisfaction.
…
Early in the morning, after Ji Tianxing finished washing, he walked out of the room.
The other disciples of Fengyun Academy were all reading or practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and some of them went to the Spiritual Medicine Garden to study with the Thousand Medicine Collection.
And he could only go to Tai'an Palace and continue cleaning the palace.
Of course, even if he was punished to sweep the floors of Tai'an Palace, he did not want to lag behind others, so he took the Thousand Medicine Collection with him.
After arriving at Tai'an Palace, he said hello to the middle-aged mute at the gate, then entered the palace and started sweeping the floor.
In the courtyard of the second courtyard, the ground was still covered with weeds, leaves and broken tiles, and it was a mess.
Ji Tianxing was sweeping the floor with a broom in his right hand and a collection of Thousand Medicines in his left hand, memorizing the contents of the book.
As a result, his sweeping speed was much slower, and his efficiency in learning to identify herbs was not high.
A whole morning has passed, and he hasn't finished cleaning the yard yet, and he has only written down a hundred kinds of medicinal herbs in the book.
But there was nothing he could do. He didn't want to be at the bottom of the end-of-month assessment and become the object of ridicule.
At noon, the sun was scorching hot in the yard.
Ji Tianxing sat on the stone bench under the eaves to rest and read the Thousand Medicine Collection attentively.
Suddenly, a sharp sound broke through the air, and a green cold light shot towards him.
"call out!"
Ji Tianxing suddenly woke up, holding the collection of Thousand Medicines in his hand and sprinted more than three meters away, and only managed to escape the attack of the cold green light.
"Ding!"
The green cold light hit the stone bench, making a fist-sized hole in the rock bench on the spot, and a lot of stone chips flew out.
Ji Tianxing's pupils suddenly tightened, and he looked around with a solemn expression, looking for his attacker.
