Xiang Wuji was in the lobby, lying on a wicker chair, drinking wine leisurely.
Probably because he drank a little too much, his face was flushed, his eyes were closed tightly, and he was about to fall asleep in a daze.
"Anyway, it will take at least half a day for that kid to break through the formation. I'll take a nap first..."
Xiang Wuji smacked his lips, put the wine gourd into the black finger, closed his eyes and rested.
After a while, he snored and fell asleep.
At this moment, two hands stretched out from the ancient well in the corner of the yard and climbed out while grabbing the edge of the well.
This was none other than Ji Tianxing. His hair and blue robe were all wet, and water kept dripping down to his feet.
It happens to be noon now, the sun is blazing in the sky, and the air is full of hot air.
Ji Tianxing wrung out the water from the hem and sleeves of his robe and walked straight to the lobby.
Before he entered the door, he heard snoring coming from the room.
"Haha, the old man actually fell asleep? He couldn't be pretending, trying to play some trick on purpose, right?"
Ji Tianxing grinned silently and tiptoed into the room.
He walked quietly to Xiang Wuji, trying to see if Xiang Wuji was really asleep or pretending to sleep.
Just when he was still five steps away from Xiang Wuji, Xiang Wuji suddenly opened his eyes, subconsciously waved his hand and fired a sword light, striking at Ji Tianxing.
The sword light was more than one meter long, extremely sharp and violent, and could smash even a city wall with one sword.
Ji Tianxing's expression immediately changed wildly, and he was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. He immediately used the Shadowless Step and stepped back three meters in an instant.
But even so, the speed of the sword light was too fast, and it had already hit his ear.
Fortunately, Xiang Wuji had woken up and stopped in time after realizing that something was wrong.
The sharp sword light was hanging by Ji Tianxing's ear, only two inches away from his neck.
If Xiang Wuji had stopped a moment later, his head would have been dislocated and he would have died on the spot.
"Hiss..." Ji Tianxing was still in shock. He couldn't help taking a breath and said angrily: "Old man, what are you doing?"
"If you want to punish me, you don't need to be so cruel, right? I was almost beheaded by you!"
Xiang Wuji moved his fingers and quickly put the sword light back into his body. Only then did he really wake up and turned to look at Ji Tianxing.
"Huh? Why did you come out?"
"What time is it now? How long have I been asleep?"
Ji Tianxing said expressionlessly: "It's two quarters past noon."
Xiang Wuji immediately stood up with surprise on his face, frowned and looked at the sky outside.
"I just fell asleep for a while, and you came out of the wood spirit formation?"
"This is impossible! It's only been an hour since your kid entered the formation. How could it be possible for your kid to break the formation in just one hour?"
Xiang Wuji simply couldn't believe that someone could break the wood spirit formation within an hour.
For more than a hundred years, apart from the 'Qiu Yu Disciple' back then, there was absolutely no other person who could do it.
Now, Ji Tianxing has done it, how can he not be shocked and confused?
"Could it be that this brat's array talent is as outstanding as Disciple Qiu Yu's? He has completely inherited Disciple Qiu Yu's talent?"
When he thought of this, Xiang Wuji's blood boiled and he was secretly excited.
The way he looked at Ji Tianxing was full of excitement and expectation, as if he had seen a perfect jade.
He believed that after his polishing, this perfect piece of jade would become a rare treasure!
After a while, Xiang Wuji calmed down, stared at Ji Tianxing with stern eyes, and asked in a solemn tone: "Boy, tell me, how did you break the formation?"
Ji Tianxing did not hide anything and answered truthfully: "Although your Wood Spirit Formation is an auxiliary formation, it has the effect of a phantom formation. The jungle inside is like a maze. If you don't crack it, you can't get out."
"I tried my best to find a stable stream, and then I guessed that the stream was probably the base of the formation. I found the source of the stream and climbed out of the well."
Xiang Wuji nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and his old face also showed a rare smile of relief.
"Well, not bad, your idea of breaking the formation is very right."
"Ahem...I said before that I would reward you, and now I will fulfill my promise."
Hearing that there was a reward, Ji Tianxing's resentment dissipated and he asked expectantly: "What reward are you going to give me?"
Xiang Wuji looked at him solemnly and said in a solemn tone: "I have decided to teach you the secrets of formation and train you to become a formation master!"
After saying that, he looked at Ji Tianxing with a proud face.
When he thought about it, any disciple would be wildly excited and tremble with excitement after hearing this sentence.
However, what he expected did not happen.
Ji Tianxing was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said: "Thank you, senior, for your guidance. I am grateful to you!"
In fact, he was muttering in his heart: "Hey, I thought the old man would reward me with some magical elixir to help me improve my strength."
The smile on Xiang Wuji's face also faded, and he frowned and asked, "You brat, what's that expression on your face? Aren't you excited?"
"I'm going to teach you the secret art of formation! That is a blessing that no one else can envy! Are you really not excited at all?"
Seeing this scene, Ji Tianxing could only force out a smile and said, "Senior, I am so kind and kind. I, my junior, are so grateful that I will burst into tears. I will never forget it!"
"Huh! Hypocritical!" Of course Xiang Wuji saw that he was lying and cursed angrily.
"Anyway, no matter whether you are happy or not, I will teach you. From now on, you will stay in Tai'an Palace and don't need to go back to Fengyun Court!"
Ji Tianxing then remembered that Xiang Wuji had a high status, and if he really wanted someone from Fengyun Court, Han Qiaosheng wouldn't dare not give it to him.
Thinking of this, he quickly complimented Xiang Wuji and flattered him a few times without leaving any trace, which finally made Xiang Wuji calm down.
Xiang Wuji recalled what happened before, and warned with a solemn expression: "Boy, don't walk sneakily in Tai'an Palace from now on!"
"Otherwise, if I don't stop you one day, how unjust will your death be?"
Ji Tianxing nodded repeatedly and said with approval: "There is a saying in the secular kingdom that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. I feel the same way now."
Xiang Wuji glared at him and cursed angrily: "You know nothing! I am always vigilant, even if I fall asleep, I am always vigilant."
"I have traveled across the continent for two hundred years, traveled to dozens of regions, and encountered countless dangerous crises."
"If I hadn't been careful, do you think I could have survived until now?"
Ji Tianxing suddenly realized this and said sincerely: "Senior, it seems that you are a strong man with a story."
"When will you tell me about the past when you conquered the world?"
Xiang Wuji nodded proudly and said, "Of course!"
"As for telling stories, we'll talk about it later when we have time."
"Now, you come to the study room with me first. I want to teach you the secret of formation."
