Three days passed by very quickly.
In these three days, Ji Tianxing did not leave the Cool Breeze Courtyard at all as he cultivated in the secret room.
Although there were sword wounds on his back and thighs which affected his movements.
But the injuries did not affect his cultivation nor did it affect his absorption of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to condense sword qi.
There were already six sword qi in his body and after three days of bitter cultivation, he finally condensed another six sword qi.
Now that he had successfully condensed twelve sword qi, he could attempt to condense a sword embryo.
But Ji Tianxing cultivated bitterly for half a day and tried nine times but he was still unable to condense a sword embryo.
Every time he controlled the sword qi to enter his meridians and move towards his dantian, his meridians felt like they were about to be cut apart.
After all, the twelve sword qi that he condensed were incomparably sharp, how could his weak meridians withstand being cut by the sword qi?
Ji Tianxing endured the pain as he clenched his teeth and persevered for half a day. His clothes were completely soaked in cold sweat.
But even so, he still failed and ended up in a very sorry state.
He returned to his room to change into a clean set of clothes and then went to the Martial Arts Hall.
In the Martial Arts Hall's main hall, he secretly used the spirit stone to test his strength.
The result made him feel both surprised and excited. He had actually reached the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm!
In a short three days, he had risen from the sixth level of the Body Refinement Realm to the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm. How shocking was this?
He was only one step away from returning to the True Element Realm!
After returning to the Cool Breeze Courtyard, Ji Tianxing sat in his room in deep thought.
"It seems like the first level of the sword heart corresponds to the first level of the Body Refinement Realm."
"Once I condense the twelve sword qi into a sword embryo, I should be able to reach the True Element Realm. At that time, the sword embryo will be equivalent to my dantian ….."
Just as he was deep in thought, Huan-Er knocked on the door to report to him.
"Eldest Young Master, Young Master Hao said he has something to talk to you about and is waiting in the courtyard."
Ji Tianxing's eyebrows jumped as a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Ji Hao is looking for me?"
He frowned and thought for a while before saying to Huan-Er, "Let him in."
Huan 'er responded, and Ji Hao walked into the room after a while.
Today, he was wearing a luxurious brocade robe, and his hair was carefully combed. There was also a faint fragrance of flowers and plants on his body, making him look even more handsome and noble.
Ji Tianxing sat at the table drinking tea. He sized him up and asked, "Second Brother, why are you looking for me? Why are you all dressed up? "
Ji Tianxing came to the table and sat down with a smile on his face. He took out a red invitation card from his wide sleeve and placed it in front of Ji Tianxing.
"Big Brother, I just received the little prince's invitation. The Little Prince is hosting a banquet at the Spirit Flame Palace tonight and is inviting the young talents of the younger generation to the banquet to exchange pointers. "
"Big brother, let's go together tonight!"
Ji Tianxing knew that the Little Prince Ji Hao was talking about was the current Emperor's youngest brother, Prince Luo Yan, Ji Ling.
It was said that Prince Luo Yan's congenital dantian was damaged. Since he was a child, his progress in martial arts had been slow, and he could not store the Qi of Heaven and Earth in his internal strength.
Therefore, Ji Ling could only be a trash in the Body Refinement Realm.
But the heavens were fair. While depriving him of the right to practice martial arts, they also bestowed him with outstanding wisdom and strategy, allowing him to cultivate into a gentle and elegant gentleman.
When Ji Ling inherited the position of Prince, the Emperor bestowed the most difficult to control Yan and Luo Prefectures to him as his hereditary fief.
That was how the name Luo Yan came to be.
The two prefectures were about two thousand miles in size, with more than fifty million citizens. They were also frequently invaded by neighboring countries.
But after Ji Ling took over the Luo and Yan Prefectures, he only used two years to completely control them and found a way to stop the neighboring countries from invading.
It was easy to imagine how much strategy and methods were needed to achieve this.
Other than strategy, Ji Ling's reputation in the Clear Sky Kingdom spread far and wide.
He prioritized the country and was worried about the suffering of the people. He was also kind and generous, courteous to the wise and recruited talents …
In short, in the eyes of the Clear Sky Kingdom's citizens, the Little Prince Ji Ling was an almost perfect gentleman. He was also the most respectable male god in the hearts of millions of young ladies.
Every year, Ji Ling would host three banquets at the Spirit Flame Palace to entertain the young talents of the Clear Sky Kingdom and win over their hearts.
This banquet not only gave the geniuses a chance to learn from each other and at the same time, it could also attract talents for the Clear Sky Kingdom. That was why it was called the Dragon's Gate Banquet.
The meaning of the two words Dragon's Gate was that the geniuses who attended this banquet would be able to leap over the dragon's gate and have a meteoric rise.
The young martial artists of the Clear Sky Kingdom were all proud to be able to attend the Dragon's Gate Banquet.
However, Ji Tianxing had only been there once two years ago, and he had never been there again.
At that time, he already had the reputation of being the number one genius in the Imperial City. He didn't treat those young talents as his opponents and disdained to flatter and interact with them.
Later on, Ji Ling sent him two invitations but he didn't go. Ji Ling didn't invite him again.
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 Dragon's Gate Banquet. I haven't been there for the past two years."
"Moreover, Ji Ling only invited you and didn't invite me."
Ji Hao was a little excited and agitated. He quickly persuaded, "Big Brother, I know that you don't like the Dragon's Gate Banquet but tonight is different!"
"I heard that the Dragon's Gate Banquet was brought forward by a month because of the Sky Pillar Sect's instructions. Moreover, the Sky Pillar Sect's people will be there tonight."
Seeing that Ji Tianxing seemed to be moved, Ji Hao struck while the iron was hot and persuaded, "Big Brother, I know that you've always dreamed of joining the Sky Pillar Sect. Unfortunately, you didn't pass the entrance test …"
"Even if your strength has declined, we can still meet the Sky Pillar Sect's people at the Dragon's Gate Banquet. Perhaps things will take a turn for the better?"
Ji Tianxing remained silent. The figures of Yun Yao and the two Sky Pillar Sect's disciples appeared in his mind.
'Could it be that they came to the Clear Sky Imperial City for this matter?'
He secretly speculated in his heart. He only felt that there must be something else going on at the Dragon's Gate Banquet tonight.
When he thought of the peerless beauty in white who rode on a spirit crane and soared in the sky, he couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"Alright, I'll go with you tonight."
Seeing that he nodded in agreement, Ji Hao instantly revealed a smile.
"That's right, Big Brother! I knew that you would definitely pull yourself together! "
He and Ji Tianxing agreed to depart at nighttime. Then, he kept the Dragon's Gate Banquet invitation and left the Clear Wind Courtyard.
…
In a small courtyard in the Ling Residence.
Ling Yunfei, who was wearing a long white dress, was sitting under a tree, engrossed in an ancient book in her hands.
Suddenly, a white carrier pigeon flew into the courtyard and landed on the stone table in front of her.
Ling Yunfei put down the ancient book and looked at the carrier pigeon in confusion. She reached out and untied a copper tube from the carrier pigeon's leg.
There was a piece of paper in the copper tube. After she opened the paper, she saw a sentence on it, but there was no signature.
"Ji Tianxing will be attending the Spirit Flame Palace's banquet tonight."
Ling Yunfei raised her eyebrows. Her clear eyes suddenly revealed a cold sneer and murderous intent.
"Haha, you're walking right into my trap? How can I let you live until tomorrow? "
