In the past three days, Ji Tianxing has not left Qingfeng Courtyard for even half a step and has been practicing in the secret room.
Although there were sword wounds on his back and thighs, which somewhat affected his movement.
But the injury will not affect his meditation practice, nor will it delay him from absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth to condense his sword energy.
He already had six sword qi in his body, and after three days of hard training, he finally condensed the six sword qi again.
Now that he has successfully refined the twelve sword energies, he can try to condense the sword embryo.
However, Ji Tianxing spent a long time in seclusion and practiced hard. He tried nine times in a row but failed to produce a sword fetus.
Every time he controlled the sword energy to enter the meridians and move towards the Dantian, the meridians would feel severe pain as if they were about to be cut into pieces.
After all, the twelve sword qi he condensed are extremely sharp. How can his weak meridians withstand the cutting of the sword qi?
Ji Tianxing endured the pain that was so painful that he gritted his teeth and persisted for half a day. His clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
But even so, he still failed and made himself very embarrassed.
He went back to his room, changed into clean clothes, and then went to the martial arts hall.
In the main hall of the martial arts hall, he secretly used the psychic stone to test his strength level.
The result surprised and excited him, he actually reached the ninth level of body refining realm!
In just three days, he rose from the sixth level of the Body Refining Realm to the ninth level of the Body Refining Realm. How shocking is this?
There is only one step left before he can return to the True Element Realm!
After returning to Qingfeng Courtyard, Ji Tianxing sat in the room and meditated.
"It seems that the first level of the Way of Sword Heart corresponds to the first level of martial arts, the Body Refining Realm."
"When I condense the twelve sword energies into a sword fetus, I should be able to reach the True Yuan realm. By then, the sword fetus will be equivalent to my Dantian..."
Just as he was thinking secretly, Huan'er knocked on the door and reported the news to him.
"Master, Master Hao said he has something important to ask you and is waiting in the yard."
Ji Tianxing suddenly raised his eyebrows, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
"Ji Hao is looking for me?"
He frowned and thought for a moment before saying to Huan'er, "Let him come in."
Huan'er responded, and soon Ji Hao walked into the room.
Today he was wearing a luxurious brocade robe, his hair was carefully styled, and he smelled faintly of flowers and plants, making him look even more handsome and noble.
Ji Tianxing sat at the table drinking tea, looked him up and down, and asked: "Second brother, what do you want from me? Why are you dressed up?"
Ji Hao came to the table and sat down with a smile on his face. He took out a red gilded invitation from his wide sleeves and placed it in front of Ji Tianxing.
"Brother, I just received an invitation from the young prince. The young prince is hosting a banquet at Lingyan Palace tonight and invites young talents from the younger generation to the banquet to discuss and exchange experiences."
"Brother, let's go together tonight!"
Ji Tianxing knew that the young prince Ji Hao was talking about was the current emperor's youngest brother, Prince Luo Yan Ji Ling.
It is said that Prince Luo Yan was born with damaged Dantian, and his progress in practicing martial arts has been slow since he was a child. He is also unable to practice internal skills to store the vitality of heaven and earth.
Therefore, Ji Ling can only be a waste in the body refining realm in this life.
But God is fair. While depriving him of the qualification to practice martial arts, it gave him outstanding wisdom and strategy, and allowed him to develop into a gentle and elegant gentleman.
When Ji Ling succeeded to the throne of prince, the emperor granted him Yanzhou and Luozhou, which had strong folk customs and were the most difficult to control, as his hereditary fiefdom.
Hence the name Luo Yanwang.
The two states cover an area of about 2,000 miles and have more than 50 million people. They are often invaded and invaded by neighboring countries.
But after Ji Ling took over the Luo and Yan states, it only took him two years to completely control them, and managed to block the invasion of neighboring countries.
One can imagine how many strategies and means this requires.
In addition to strategy, Ji Ling's reputation spread far and wide in Qingyun.
He attaches great importance to the country, the country, and the country. He is concerned about the sufferings of the people. He is also willing to give charity, pays homage to the virtuous and corporal, and recruits talents...
All in all, in the eyes of the people of Qingyun country, the young prince Ji Ling is an almost perfect gentleman and the most noble male god in the hearts of millions of girls.
Ji Ling holds banquets at Lingyan Palace three times every year to entertain young talents from Qingyun Kingdom and win over people's hearts.
This banquet can not only give geniuses an opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas, but also attract talents for the Qingyun Kingdom, so it has also won the reputation of the Dragon Gate Banquet.
The meaning of the word "dragon gate" is that geniuses who have participated in this banquet can leap over the dragon gate and rise to great heights.
The young warriors of Qingyun Kingdom are all proud to participate in the Dragon Gate Banquet.
But Ji Tianxing only visited once two years ago, and then never again.
At that time, he already had a reputation as the number one genius in the imperial city. He did not regard those young talents as his opponents at all, and he did not bother to praise and communicate with everyone.
Later, Ji Ling sent him two invitations, but he did not go both times, so Ji Ling stopped inviting him.
Thinking of this, Ji Tianxing glanced at the invitation and said calmly: "Second brother, you know that I don't like the atmosphere of the Longmen Banquet. I have never been there in the past two years."
"Besides, Ji Ling only invited you, not me."
Ji Hao was a little excited and excited, and he quickly persuaded: "Brother, I know you don't like the Dragon Gate Banquet, but tonight is different!"
"I heard that the reason why the Dragon Gate Banquet was moved forward one month was because of the instructions from the Qingtian Sect, and the people from the Qingtian Sect will also be here tonight."
Seeing that Ji Tianxing seemed to be interested, Ji Hao persuaded him while the iron was hot: "Brother, I know you have always dreamed of joining the Qingtian Sect, but unfortunately you failed to pass the entrance test..."
"Even if your strength has declined, we can see people from the Qingtian Sect at the Dragon Gate Banquet. Maybe things will turn around?"
Ji Tianxing remained silent and did not speak, and the figures of Yun Yao and two Qingtian Sect disciples appeared in his mind.
"Is this what they came to Qingyun Imperial City for?"
He secretly speculated in his heart, only feeling that there must be another mystery to tonight's Dragon Gate Banquet.
Thinking of the beautiful lady in white who was soaring in the sky on a spiritual crane, he couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll go with you tonight."
When Ji Hao saw him nodding in agreement, he suddenly smiled.
"Brother, this is right! I knew you would cheer up!"
He made an appointment with Ji Tianxing to set off at the lantern lighting time tonight, so he put away the invitation to the Longmen Banquet and left the Qingfeng Villa.
…
In a small courtyard inside the Ling family's mansion.
Ling Yunfei, wearing a long white dress, was sitting under a tree, holding an ancient book and reading in trance.
Suddenly a white homing pigeon flew into the yard and landed on the stone table in front of her.
Ling Yunfei put down the ancient book, glanced at the pigeon in confusion, and reached out to untie a copper pipe from the pigeon's leg.
There was a note in the copper tube. When she opened the note, she saw only one sentence on the paper, but no name.
"Ji Tianxing will go to Lingyan Palace for a banquet tonight."
Ling Yunfei raised her eyebrows, and a thick sneer and murderous intent suddenly appeared in her clear big eyes.
"Haha, are you throwing yourself into a trap? Then how can I let you live until tomorrow?"
