The hall was very quiet, and candles as thick as arms were burning.
Ji Ning immersed himself in eating and quickly finished all the meat and fruit wine on the table in front of him. Today was to celebrate his father's return, so it was rare to drink some fruit wine.
"Father." Ji Ning said.
"Yeah." Ji Yichuan frowned and looked at his son.
Ji Ning felt that his father was in a bad mood because he failed to kill the winged snake this time. It was too difficult to kill an innate creature hiding in the depths of the lake, a late-stage water tribe demon. If he wanted to kill it directly, Ji Ning Xifu can do it at great cost. But it is obvious that Ji's Xifu is not willing to pay this price. For the sake of its own prestige, Ji's Xifu has already swept away the Winged Snake Lake and stationed troops on the banks of the Winged Snake Lake. They have sent several innate beings to stay permanently, forcing the Winged Snake to not dare to leave the Winged Snake at all. Snake Lake... This will be a protracted battle. Once the Winged Snake is a little careless, it will be beaten and killed by the innate creatures of Ji's West Mansion.
"I want to go out and have some adventures." Ji Ning said.
"Road?" Ji Yichuan frowned.
Yuchixue even said: "Ning'er, you were attacked by the winged snake this time. You should know how scary the big monster is. Outside Xifu City... there are many deep mountains and swamps where big monsters are lurking. You are too young to go out and wander around now." Well, in a few years."
"I don't have many opponents to train with in Xifu City." Ji Ning shook his head.
Ji Yichuan shouted coldly: "How old are you? It won't be too late for you to come of age at the age of sixteen before you can go out and make a living."
"But father!" Ji Ning said anxiously, "I have been in Xifu City since I was a child. I have always lived in a place as small as Xifu City! I want to see the countless tribes outside, and I want to go out and have adventures like my father. Fight with the big monsters, and even kill them."
"A big demon? With your strength..." Ji Yichuan shook his head.
"What's wrong with me?" Ji Ning asked, "I can survive even when the Winged Snake goes all out. What's wrong with my strength?"
Ji Yichuan was startled and thoughtful: "Yes, I haven't asked you yet, how did you survive the attack of the winged snake?"
Yu Chixue next to him smiled: "Yichuan, you have been out dealing with the winged snake and haven't come back, and I haven't been able to tell you. Our son was attacked by the winged snake at the moment of life and death, and his body skills reached the realm of unity between man and nature. Only with the body technique of the unity of heaven and man can we escape the disaster in front of the winged snake."
"Unity of man and nature?" Ji Yichuan looked at Ji Ning in surprise.
At only ten years old, his body skills have reached the state of unity between nature and man?
"Take my three swords." Ji Yichuan suddenly waved his hand, and three blurred sword shadows suddenly enveloped Ji Ning, as fast as lightning.
Ji Ning was sitting on his knees in front of the desk. At this moment, he was dodging in a series of swoops, just like a gust of wind passing by in the shadow of three misty swords.
"How?" Ji Ning said proudly.
"It's really achieved." Ji Yichuan looked at his son in shock, "The unity of heaven and man. Your body skills have really achieved the unity of heaven and man. Then your swordsmanship has reached the unity of heaven and man... It's not far away."
Ji Yichuan looked at his son, his heart was filled with excitement, and he kept thinking at the same time. His son Ji Ning's talent is so high, he is definitely a rare evil genius in the land of Yanshan. Such an evil person must not be treated normally! With Ji Ning's current rate of progress, there really isn't enough training in Xifu City.
"It's not impossible for you to go out and have a career." Ji Yichuan looked at his son, "But you have to meet one of my requirements."
"Yichuan!" Yuchixue was a little anxious. Ji Yichuan stretched out his hand to stop Yuchixue.
"Father, tell me." Ji Ning was looking forward to it.
Ji Yichuan nodded: "The Golden Sword Ceremony is held once every four years, and is a ceremony attended by all boys under the age of sixteen. I want you to get the golden sword at this Golden Sword Ceremony! As long as you get the golden sword, I will allow you to go out and make a living. "
"Golden sword?" Ji Ning's eyes lit up.
He had long known the agreement back then. As long as he captured the golden sword, he would naturally be the next palace master. And when I was practicing swordsmanship in the past few years... my parents also mentioned to me about 'winning the golden sword and becoming the master of the palace'.
"It's easy to capture the golden sword." Ji Ning looked at Ji Yichuan in confusion, "Father, I only need 10% of my strength to capture the golden sword. This shouldn't be considered a test. Father, do you really care about the master of the palace that much? Location?"
My father was determined to follow the path of immortality.
Ji Ning naturally also longs to embark on the path to immortality.
"The position of Palace Master?" Ji Yichuan shook his head, "You are my son, Ji Yichuan, the most proud son. I believe you will go further than me... The position of Palace Master of Ji's West Palace will only constrain you. You are destined to be Spread your wings and fly high.”
Ji Ning was confused: "Father, do you want me to win the golden sword?"
"The first is to make Ji Lie give up." Ji Yichuan said, "As for the second reason, you will know after you take the golden sword. As long as you take the golden sword, I will let you go out and explore. But if you take the golden sword If not, just stay in Xifu City."
"Okay." Ji Ning grinned.
Yu Chixue on the side has always been anxious.
"Okay, you go back and rest." Ji Yichuan said.
Ji Ning immediately got up and went back to his residence in a very happy mood, while in the hall Ji Yichuan began to explain the reason to his wife Yu Chixue.
Early the next morning.
While eating with her parents, Yuchixue said: "After you win the golden sword, I won't stop you from going out, but you have to bring servants."
"Servants?" Ji Ning asked, "I am going on an adventure, why would I bring a lot of servants with me?"
"You only need to bring two people with you." Yuchixue said with a smile, "One is Qiuye, she is very familiar with some of your habits and can serve you. The other servant is Mowu, who was formerly a Nine-Tooth Warrior of the Black Armor Guard. After that, he followed your father for a long time and was very loyal. Although his strength is not as good as yours, he has the experience of wandering in the wilderness and mountains."
Ji Ning thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, just take them both. No more."
"Sir, you want to leave Xifu City to explore? Will you take me with you?" Qiuye was extremely excited. She had not been out for a long time since she entered Ji's Xifu since she was a child.
"Stop standing there stupidly and hurry up to the library to bring in all the records of the great demons, tribal records, maps, etc. in the land of Yanshan." Ji Ning was full of enthusiasm and told Qiuye, "I want to take a closer look. Understand and set a rough road map for my adventure.”
"Yes, sir." Qiu Yelian flew away.
Qiuye is Ji Ning's personal maid. She has been taught the most advanced Qi refining techniques since she was a child, and she is close to perfecting it the day after tomorrow. Personal maids with Ji Ning's status will definitely be taught Qi refining methods and some unique skills. At critical moments, these personal maids will sacrifice for their masters.
"Here we come." Qiuye was seen holding a tall pile of books, and then placed them on the ground with a bang. Such a pile of books weighed hundreds of kilograms.
Ji Ning flipped through the pages.
The legend of a giant monster...
Only then did Ji Ning realize how many great monsters were lurking in the deep mountains and swamps. Because there were so many great monsters, each one was difficult to deal with. Therefore, the big demons and the Ji family and other overlord forces actually have some tacit understanding. The big monsters generally will not go crazy and massacre human beings, and the Ji family and other overlord forces will not go out to strangle them.
Each of them took a step back, maintaining the surface calm.
Although some tribes are often slaughtered, great demons are beheaded, and innate creatures die...but these are all within control! There is an invisible line that the Ji family and many other overlords and demons are unwilling to cross. Once that line is crossed, it will really be a bloody storm.
"The Black Tooth Tribe." Ji Ning pointed at the map, "This is the latest map of our Ji clan's Xifu territory. The Black Tooth Tribe is a newly established small tribe. It should be the tribe built by Chuncao's father. It is right here, away from us. This is just over a thousand miles.”
"Master, Master, we must go to the Black Tooth Tribe and take a look at the spring grass." Qiuye said.
"Of course I'll go."
Ji Ning nodded, "But I have to go all the way first, first go here, here, here, and... this!" Ji Ning pointed to the dark areas on the map that represented threats.
"These are the places where big demons lurk." Qiuye exclaimed.
"Yes." Ji Ning's eyes shone, "I just want to kill the big monster! Don't worry, the monsters I chose are all the big monsters in the early stage of innate creatures. They are much weaker than the winged snake. I will fight them one by one. …Until I break through and become an innate being, the day I become an innate being is when I go to Winged Snake Lake.”
Qiuye said anxiously: "Sir, Winged Snake is a great demon in the late stage of innate life."
"I'm sure of it," Ji Ning said.
The first method of refining the body of gods and demons, "Nine Heavens of Red Brightness", is infinitely powerful. Even at the third level, it is already comparable to the average innate Qi refining creature in its early stages!
Once you break through to the fourth level, you will be comparable to the late-stage Qi Refining Xian creatures!
The frontal fighting was almost the same as that of the Winged Snake, not to mention that he was higher than that Winged Snake in terms of realm.
"The Great Demon Winged Snake." Ji Ning's eyes flashed with a trace of madness. He could not forget the scene where the Winged Snake attacked and killed him before. "This time I go out on an adventure, and my ultimate target is you. I hope you don't die too early." !”
Ji's Xifu City ushered in the Golden Sword Ceremony held every four years. Countless young people who were trained in the tribe reported their names one by one with eagerness and anticipation. They wanted to defeat each opponent in this ceremony and become the most dazzling existence. . Let countless tribes recite their names!
"After this Golden Sword Ceremony, I will return to the tribe. I must be among the top eight so that I can obtain the method of practicing to become an innate being. Only in this way can I become an innate being in this life!" A dark-skinned young man said, He was carrying a single sword on his back, wearing tattered animal skins, and under his feet were a pair of fur boots that were almost worn out.
"My name, Huxiao, must be spread to all the tribes on this land!"
"I'm the strongest!"
"This is the last chance to obtain the secrets of immortality and magic."
Each tribal boy had his own desires and went to the Golden Sword Ceremony to submit his name.
This is a grand ceremony.
A grand ceremony for countless tribesmen.
Almost all the talented young people in the vast land controlled by the Ji family's Xifu will participate. They are eager to become famous, eager to obtain some profound Qi refining techniques and some powerful secrets from this Golden Sword Ceremony. These are also what they can rely on to deter one party in the future.
"What, Ji Ning is participating in the Golden Sword Ceremony?" Ji Lie's eyes widened after he had just received the news, and the red snake wrapped around his ears also spat out a message, "He is only ten years old this year, and he can wait until four years later to participate in the next Golden Sword Ceremony. Why did you participate in the Sword Ceremony this time?”
