It was noon at this time, the scorching sun was high in the sky, and the air was filled with hot air.
The square outside the martial arts hall was empty, and the children of the Ji family would certainly not practice martial arts in the scorching sun at this time.
Ji Tianxing stepped into the main hall of the martial arts hall and saw that there was no one in the hall, so he walked to the high platform in the corner.
Looking at the carved stone pillar in front of him, he felt a little uneasy.
Although he has condensed the sword embryo, the way of the sword heart is after all a martial art that is different from ordinary people and has never been heard of.
He was not sure whether his current strength had reached the True Yuan realm.
Only by testing with psychic stone pillars can he prove all his previous conjectures.
After taking a deep breath, he stretched out his palm and pressed it on the stone pillar, using all his strength to activate the vitality in his body.
Immediately, the golden sword embryo burst out with sharp and powerful true energy, flowing through his palm into the psychic stone pillar.
The black lines on the stone pillars immediately reacted, and two red lights lit up.
The crimson light represents the true elemental realm, while the two lines represent the second level.
"True Essence Realm...Second Level?!"
Ji Tianxing immediately raised his eyebrows with an incredulous look in his eyes, and his heartbeat accelerated a bit.
"I guessed it right! The sword fetus is my Dantian. When I condense the sword fetus, it is equivalent to the strength of the True Yuan realm!"
"But why did I skip the first level of the True Yuan Realm and directly reach the second level of the True Yuan Realm just after condensing the sword embryo?"
He was filled with shock and felt incredible.
Regardless of any warrior who advances from the Body Refining Realm to the True Yuan Realm, he must first reach the first level of the True Yuan Realm.
After practicing diligently, you can advance to the second level, followed by the third level, the fourth level...
This is common sense in martial arts, and even children as young as seven or eight know it!
However, Ji Tianxing jumped directly from the ninth level of body refining to the second level of true essence realm, breaking this common sense!
How could he not be shocked and confused?
After a while, Ji Tianxing retracted his palm and calmed down.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then guessed the reason.
"A warrior at the first level of the True Yuan Realm usually has to practice hard for two years and accumulate enough powerful True Yuan before he can advance to the second level."
"The sword heart method I practice is condensed with the sword embryo. The true essence in my body is several times deeper than that of ordinary warriors. That's why I jumped to the second level of the true essence realm. This must be the case!"
"This is not only the extraordinary power of the sword's heart, but also the effect of the Red Star Flower to help me reshape my meridians and enhance my cultivation."
Thinking of this, Ji Tianxing felt relieved.
Now that his strength has been confirmed by the psychic stone pillar, the only trace of worry in his heart has disappeared.
From now on, he will go all out to practice the art of sword heart and move forward bravely!
After leaving the martial arts hall, he prepared to return to Qingfeng Xiaoyuan.
On the way, he suddenly thought of the little ice fox.
"Uh...how did I forget the little fox?"
"I locked it in the room after I came back, and I didn't ask Huan'er to take care of it. I wonder how it is doing now? I'm afraid it's starved a long time ago, right?"
Thinking of this, he went to the kitchen and returned to Qingfeng Courtyard with a basket of fruits.
Returning to the room, he closed the door and then opened a wooden cabinet in the corner.
After opening the cabinet door, he saw the little ice fox curled up in the cabinet, sleeping soundly.
"Little fox, wake up, I'll bring you something delicious."
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and poked the little ice fox on the forehead.
The little ice fox opened his eyes, glanced at him casually, and then looked at the fruits in the basket.
"Let's put it there first, and then I'll eat it when I'm hungry."
Its tone was a little lazy, and after finishing speaking, it lay down to sleep.
"Huh?" Ji Tianxing frowned immediately and looked at it carefully.
The little ice fox's hair was shiny, full of energy, and not at all sluggish or hungry as he imagined.
"Humph!" Ji Tianxing snorted coldly, pointed at it and asked, "Little fox, tell me honestly, have you eaten anything secretly in the past two days?"
The little ice fox opened his eyes a little and murmured in a low voice: "I just went to the kitchen to steal a roast chicken. Lao Ji, please don't make a fuss, okay?"
Of course Ji Tianxing didn't believe it and sneered: "Haha! Seeing that there is still oil on your mouth, are you sure you ate one secretly?"
The little ice fox raised its little head and smiled at him: "Okay, okay...I admit, I ate a total of forty-six roast chickens in the past two days."
"However, Lao Ji, your family is so luxurious, so if I sneak in a few roast chickens when I'm hungry, it's not a big deal, right?"
After saying that, it glanced at Ji Tianxing's face uneasily and whispered: "Old Ji, you can't be so stingy, can you?"
Ji Tianxing frowned and said angrily: "It's okay for you to sneak something to eat. I'm worried that you will cause trouble in the house and cause chaos in Ji's house..."
"That's right! Tell me honestly, have you made any trouble in the past two days?"
"Uh..." The little ice fox was suddenly speechless. His silver eyes rolled around, obviously preparing to lie.
Ji Tianxing saw through its mind at a glance and asked with a sneer: "Tell me, what have you done?"
The little ice fox shrank back and pretended to be cowardly: "Old Ji, don't be nervous. I was just bored and peeked at a few maids taking a bath and glanced at the guards practicing sword..."
"What a perverted fox! You did such a shameless thing!" Ji Tianxing laughed angrily and raised his hand to slap it.
The little ice fox quickly shrank into the corner of the cupboard and argued in a hurry: "Lao Ji, calm down! We are all women, it doesn't matter if we look at them a few times, and we won't get pregnant!"
"What did you say?" Ji Tianxing's raised palm stopped in mid-air.
"Nothing, nothing..." The little ice fox waved its little paws repeatedly and changed the subject: "Lao Ji, don't always call me little fox, as if I am really a fox. From now on, you can call me
Qianyue, or Qianqian, Yueyue, whatever!"
"Also, you promised me that you would protect me and take care of me."
"What do you mean by asking me to hide in the closet? I also want to live in a spacious and comfortable big house! I also want a lot of delicious food!"
Ji Tianxing's anger dissipated, he nodded and said: "Qianyue? Are you sure you want such a girly name? I'd better call you Qianqian!"
"You have a good rest here and don't run around. I'm going to find you a place to stay!"
After comforting the little ice fox, he left Qingfeng Xiaoyuan and went to find his father Ji Changkong.
When he saw his father, Ji Changkong was handling business matters in the study.
Seeing Ji Tianxing walking into the study in high spirits and with great dignity, the tiredness on Ji Changkong's face immediately dissipated, revealing a heartfelt smile of relief.
"Tian Xing, are you finished with your retreat?"
"How was it? This time I went to the Taiye Mountains to look for Red Star Flowers. Did the journey go well? Did you get the Red Star Flowers?"
Ji Tianxing walked to his father, bowed and then sat down to talk with his father.
"Father, although there were many twists and turns and dangers during this trip to the Taiye Mountains, I survived them all."
"I have obtained the Red Star Flower, and I have been practicing in seclusion for two days, and I have refined all the medicinal power."
"Now, I have repaired my Dantian injury and returned to the True Essence Realm!"
Hearing the news, Ji Changkong suddenly beamed with joy, his spirit was shaken, and he couldn't help but say "good" three times.
"Very good!"
"Tian Xing, you are back again! You really did not disappoint my father!"
