Time flies, three days passed by in the blink of an eye.
In the Ancestral Temple, candlelight flickered.
Xia Lingxuan didn't squint, and kept writing. One by one, the meandering and round Chinese characters were drawn across. Looking around, there was already a thick stack of handwriting piled up on the table.
"Use the right combination to win with the unexpected."
Another stroke is about to fall.
A voice that only he heard suddenly sounded.
【drop】
[Three days have passed and the mission is completed]
[Reward: Unknown (white)]
"Huh? I almost forgot, there is also a reward."
Xia Lingxuan suppressed his excitement and finished writing the last stroke in his hand before focusing on checking it.
In the past three days, apart from eating and sleeping, he had been concentrating on thinking and copying scriptures, and he did not dare to relax for a moment.
In order to grasp this life-saving straw, it can be said that I tried my best.
Now, it's finally time to harvest.
Xia Lingxuan clicked on the reward in his mind.
An obscure word resounded.
[The reward is activated, and the host can be directly promoted to the third level of Qi training]
Third level of Qi training?
He felt the flowing breath in his body, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop expanding, with a smile written all over his face.
It’s really spiritual energy, I really have spiritual power in my body!
I'm no longer that loser.
I can practice now!
The joy is like falling from the sky, and the spiritual power spreads throughout the body, making it tremble.
Now, I have jumped to the third level of Qi training and become a true monk.
By the way, since I already have spiritual power in my body, does that mean I can practice independently?
Thinking of this, he quickly meditated.
But after trying it over and over again, I already remembered the technique that I was familiar with. It was still like before, a pool of stagnant water, and I could only use the spiritual power already in my Dantian.
After a long time, Xia Lingxuan took a deep breath.
He regained his composure.
Isn’t it just that you can’t practice?
With the persuasion system, he can also improve his cultivation level, which is his only life-saving straw.
He felt the powerful power in his body and did not want to waste a single second. He looked at the sky and saw that it was not yet midnight, so he made a decisive decision to find his father to harvest wool again.
After all, the first two times the system appeared were all because of my father.
This time, I must be a good prince who listens to advice.
He stood up and left, opened the door, and was about to leave when a maid bowed apologetically and said:
"His Royal Highness, the Emperor has spoken."
"You can only leave the Ancestral Temple if you break through to the realm of Qi training."
The maid lowered her eyebrows and her tone was respectful.
But in her heart, she knew that this was just the reason for His Majesty to place the Crown Prince under house arrest.
It is simply more difficult for the prince to break through and practice Qi than for her to become a princess.
She stood quietly for a moment, preparing to wait for the prince to give up and close the door, but the figure in front of her did not retreat at all. She couldn't help but panic in her heart. Could it be that the prince was trying to force his way out?
Should you stop it or not?
Just when she was anxious.
Xia Lingxuan said warmly: "I have achieved a breakthrough in Qi training."
"No... no, you can't go out." Suddenly, the maid suddenly raised her head and looked at the prince, "Wait, what did you say?"
"Now, let me tell you, I have broken through to the Qi Refining Realm."
Xia Lingxuan raised his right hand slightly, silently reciting the inner law, and a blue aura came out through his fingertips.
The maid's eyes widened on the spot, her body swayed slightly, in disbelief.
"Have you really practiced Qi?"
She felt the spiritual power of the other person's fingertips and became incoherent.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
For the past three days, she has been with him almost day and night, never leaving him for a moment.
How could she not know whether the prince was practicing or not?
But now, the undoubted fact was right in front of her, and she couldn't argue with it.
The prince is actually able to practice, it’s so fucking outrageous.
"Now, can I leave?" Xia Lingxuan did not use force to overwhelm others. The other party was just a maid, so he could understand the other party's surprise.
"Okay, you can go."
The maid was already in a panic. Just as she spoke, she added, "You have to meet the Emperor with me first."
"Okay, let's go."
I was going to see my father, and having a maid to lead the way would reduce the risk of accidents.
Xia Lingxuan agreed directly.
And the maid was once again surprised that the other party was so gentle?
Without thinking much, she led the prince one after another and walked forward quickly.
…
Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Emperor Xia looked calm, and several officials below wrote letters of apology one after another.
He was doing two things, listening to advice and handling court affairs, while nodding with satisfaction. In the past few days, without the trouble-making prince, the court was much more stable.
Even my mood has not been so relaxed for a long time.
Suddenly, there were several noises outside the hall.
"Who's out there?"
Emperor Xia couldn't help but frown and ask, recalling the recent border disputes in his mind.
Could it be that something unexpected happened?
You must know that although Daxia is strong, it is only divided into many royal families. There are also imperial families with ancient roots in this world, as well as various mysterious and unpredictable immortal families.
Therefore, he always acts cautiously.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's..."
Before the person could finish a sentence, a familiar and annoying voice sounded.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
Xia Lingxuan bowed and walked straight into the hall.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly dropped to freezing point.
All the officials immediately stopped their movements and looked at the prince in unison.
They opened their mouths wide and looked at the prince with dark and complicated expressions. They looked at the prince as if nothing had happened. They were silent and did not dare to say a word, because they knew that his majesty might be really angry.
Sure enough, Emperor Xia's face was gloomy, and it was only natural that he would not recover again, and he angrily said:
"You're a traitor, and all my hard work has been in vain. I'm afraid you'll cause trouble outside, so I'm sending you to the Ancestral Temple to think about your mistakes. I've seen you concentrating on your mistakes these past few days, and I almost thought you had repented."
"In the end, after three days, it's only been three days, and you can't bear it anymore?"
"No matter who pleads for you this time, please face the wall with me and reflect on your mistakes."
Emperor Xia's face was full of disappointment, he waved his sleeves and sat back down.
The atmosphere in the hall was depressing, and all the officials looked at each other.
Lu Huiqing, who was standing among them, changed his expression and immediately stepped forward.
He looked at Xia Lingxuan, hating that iron could not make steel:
"His Royal Highness, you are the future of a country. You should be tolerant and knowledgeable, and treat others with sincerity. Your Majesty is also worried about you, so he sadly punishes you to face the wall and think about your mistakes."
"But you are so kind to His Majesty."
After saying that, go back immediately.
His advice was fair and honest, and everyone thought he had good intentions.
"Well, His Royal Highness, you should go back to the Ancestral Temple to continue thinking about your mistakes before His Majesty issues another strict order."
Wang Shangshu waited for everyone to finish speaking, then stepped forward to lament and persuade.
He knew that as long as the prince returned to the Ancestral Temple at this time and waited for Emperor Xia's anger to subside, the matter would be reduced to a major incident. If the prince still didn't know what to do, there was nothing he could do.
"Yes, the prince should go back first and don't cause any more trouble."
"Read more books about sages and stay away from that treacherous villain, then you will be worthy of being a prince of a country."
"Yeah, go back."
"..."
All the officials rushed to warn him, it seemed that the prince was just a useless child.
Xia Lingxuan remained motionless, silently memorizing the names of those shady officials.
As for people like Wang Shangshu who sincerely tried to persuade and resolve conflicts, he also silently wrote them down.
When the court finally became quiet.
Naturally there was a trace of grievance on his face, and he stepped forward and said:
"Father, didn't you personally say that as long as I break through the Qi training, I can step out of the Ancestral Temple? Now that I have successfully broken through, I will naturally come to report the good news as soon as possible."
Not a word more was said.
There is no one who uses this to belittle Yin Yang.
And this is the best counterattack.
His cultivation level cannot be hidden at all, and there is no need to hide it. Instead of being submissive, it is better to test the officials and find out the person behind the scenes.
On the other side, Emperor Xia and all the officials were confused.
What did they hear?
The prince, who had already been sentenced to death for his cultivation, actually said that he practiced qi?
Ridiculous, simply ridiculous!
At this point, you still expect to use lies to deceive everyone and think they are fools?
Emperor Xia's expression calmed down, but the more he acted like this, the more timid and scary he became.
He wanted to see what other jokes this kid could make.
Just when Baiguan was about to ridicule.
"Father, God can tell you this. I did not lie. I have indeed practiced Qi."
"Um?"
Emperor Xia couldn't help but stretched out his upper body and looked at the other person's determined expression. He felt a little shaken in his heart. Could it be that this kid really practiced Qi?
Everyone saw that the prince looked calm and showed no fear.
All produce an impossible idea.
What the prince said is not true, right?
Even Lu Huiqing, who was secretly happy, couldn't help but think wildly.
If you think about it so much, why not take a test?
"Ha, I want to see how you want to quibble."
Emperor Xia thought silently in his heart, and a burst of deep purple spiritual power came out, circled in the air, landed firmly on Xia Lingxuan, and then merged into the other person's body silently.
The spiritual power entered the Dantian, and he immediately saw the vibrant scene inside.
"Have you really practiced Qi?"
Emperor Xia patted the dragon chair, stood up in shock, and couldn't believe it: "And it's the third level of Qi training?"
Lu Huiqing, who was waiting to see the joke in the audience, was suddenly stunned.
He looked at Emperor Xia with a dull expression, as if he was in a hallucination and was stunned.
And other officials.
It ranges from the powerful Wang Shangshu to General Ye who stood silently with his arms folded, or to the ordinary petty officials and the eunuchs and maids who followed the prince.
All was silent, falling into silence.
