The night was deep.
On the summit of the Sky Supporting Peak, there were rows upon rows of palaces and houses. This was the residence of the inner sect disciples and deacons.
The lights in the various palaces and houses were lit, but the vast majority of people had already fallen asleep or were cultivating 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 his hand.
He reached out and knocked on the door a few times. Soon, a handsome young man in a white robe opened the door and welcomed him in.
The two entered the room and exchanged greetings with smiles on their faces.
Ji Ling cupped his hands to the handsome young man and said with a smile, "Brother Lu, it has been two days since I entered the sect. I just settled down recently, so I came to visit Brother Lu. Please don't take offense."
As he spoke, he held the sandalwood box with both hands and handed it to the handsome young man.
"Brother Lu, this is the thousand-year fire jade that I specially brought from the Azure Cloud Empire as a congratulatory gift for Brother Lu entering the inner sect. I hope Brother Lu will accept it!"
The handsome young man was the eldest prince of the Changfeng Empire, Lu Mingyang, who had just entered the inner sect two days ago.
When he heard the words' thousand-year fire jade ', his eyes immediately lit up. He opened the sandalwood box to take a look. Sure enough, there was a piece of fiery red jade lying quietly in the box.
Lu Mingyang accepted the sandalwood box and hurriedly cupped his hands to express his gratitude to Ji Ling. He said with a smile, "Ji Ling, you and I have known each other for many years, and our brotherhood is deep. It's enough that you can come to visit me. Why do you have to give me such a generous gift? "
Ji Ling hurriedly said with a smile, "It's precisely because we have known each other for many years that I know that Brother Lu is looking for spirit medicines and treasures that can cure cold poison everywhere. That's why I specially gave you this thousand-year fire jade."
Lu Mingyang nodded repeatedly and said with a face full of gratitude, "Ji Ling, you're still loyal enough! Alright, I'll accept this thousand-year fire jade. "
The two exchanged a few words and began to drink tea.
Lu Mingyang took a sip of tea. After putting down the teacup, he said with a face full of regret, "Ji Ling, I originally thought that you would definitely be able to enter the Sky Pillar Sect as first place in the Large Competition. I didn't expect … that fellow called Ji Tianxing would take first place. What a pity!"
At the mention of Ji Tianxing, Ji Ling's face darkened. She sneered and said, "It's all that bastard Ji Tianxing's fault. He actually snatched my first place, causing me to only be second!"
"Fortunately, I had another opportunity. After Brother Lu entered the Inner Sect, I took your spot and entered the Tempest Courtyard as I wished."
"Even so, I was criticized by many disciples. That damned Ji Tianxing, I will never let him off! "
Lu Mingyang raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Speaking of this matter, I also wanted to ask you, Ji Ling, what kind of opportunity did you obtain? He's actually valued so highly by the sect? "
Ji Ling revealed a confident smile and said, "When I first came to the sect, I came with three genius disciples and two deacons."
"I once heard Senior Brother Hao Meng mention that I was someone the sect was specially looking for. I seem to have some other use for them."
"However, I'm not too sure about the specific reason."
Lu Mingyang nodded and said with a smile, "No matter what the reason is, I have to congratulate you in advance!"
"Ji Ling, you are useful to the sect, so the sect will value and nurture you. Your future will definitely be bright!"
"Half a year later, when you pass the examination and enter the Inner Sect, we will work together and help each other improve!"
Ji Ling cupped her hands and said with a smile, "Of course!"
Lu Mingyang was silent for a moment before continuing, "On the day of the entrance ceremony, I saw Ji Tianxing. I actually know that brat. He's quite arrogant!"
Ji Ling raised her eyebrows and asked with a puzzled tone, "Oh? Brother Lu, how do you know Ji Tianxing? Tell me about it. "
Lu Mingyang sneered and said, "That was in Feng Yang City. That brat Ji Tianxing helped his friend steal the Myriad Spirit Jade Pillow that I was determined to obtain, ruining my plan!"
"Since he has also come to the Sky Bearing Sect, this is exactly what I want. I will definitely punish him severely!"
Ji Ling revealed a playful smile, "Since Brother Lu also has a grudge with him, then he is our common enemy!"
"That's right, that brat Ji Tianxing is also unlucky. On the second day of entering the Storm Courtyard, he stole a spirit fruit from the Spirit Medicine Garden and was punished by the deacon to sweep the floor for a month."
"In the examination in a month, he will definitely be at the bottom, hmph!"
Lu Mingyang immediately sneered and said, "There's actually such a thing? Then he really deserves it! "
"I just settled down in the Inner Sect these two days. When I have time, I will also deal with him!"
Ji Ling glanced at him and the smile on her face became even more playful, "Just now, I was wondering if that matter was done by you, Brother Lu."
"Now it seems that the two of us haven't even made a move against Ji Tianxing, but someone else has already made a move against him!"
Lu Mingyang nodded and sneered, "This is called committing many unjust deeds leads to one's own destruction! Ji Tianxing is too arrogant and despotic, making too many enemies. There are still others in the sect who want to deal with him! "
"In this way, sooner or later, he will be killed by someone or expelled from the Sky Bearing Sect!"
Ji Ling sneered complacently, "If the result is like this, I am really looking forward to it, hahaha …"
After that, the two of them whispered a few more words before Ji Ling left in satisfaction.
… …
Early in the morning, after Ji Tianxing finished washing up, he walked out of his room.
The other disciples of the Storm Courtyard were all reading or practicing martial arts in the courtyard. There were also people who carried the Thousand Medicine Collection to the Spirit Medicine Garden to study.
He could only go to the Grand Peace Palace and continue cleaning the palace.
Of course, even if he was punished to sweep the floor of the Grand Peace Palace, he didn't want to fall behind others and carried the Thousand Medicine Collection with him.
After arriving at the Grand Peace Palace, he greeted the middle-aged mute at the entrance and entered the palace to begin sweeping.
In the courtyard of the second courtyard, the ground was still covered with weeds, leaves, and broken tiles. It was a mess.
Ji Tianxing held a broom in his right hand and swept the floor. His left hand was still holding the Thousand Medicine Collection as he carefully memorized the contents of the book.
As a result, the speed at which he swept the floor was much slower, and the efficiency at which he learned to identify medicinal herbs was also not high.
An entire morning had passed and he still hadn't finished cleaning the courtyard. He had only memorized a hundred types of herbs in the book.
However, there was no other way. He didn't want to be at the bottom of the examination at the end of the month and become the target of ridicule.
At noon, the sun was scorching in the courtyard.
Ji Tianxing sat on a stone bench under the eaves to rest and focused on reading the Thousand Medicine Collection.
Suddenly, a sharp sound broke through the air and a cold azure light shot towards him.
"Whoosh!"
Ji Tianxing was immediately awakened. Holding the Thousand Medicine Collection, he dashed three meters away and luckily dodged the attack of the cold azure light.
"Ding!"
The cold azure light hit the stone bench and created a fist-sized hole in it. Many stone fragments flew out.
Ji Tianxing's pupils suddenly contracted. He looked around with a grave expression, looking for the person who attacked him.
