However, he did not agree immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, the Princess, has a distinguished status and the road to cultivating immortality is arduous. I wonder if Your Highness is fully prepared?"
Hearing this, Zhu Ji looked firmly. Said: "Master Qi, don't worry. Since I have decided to cultivate immortality, I have made all preparations. No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, I will move forward bravely."
After hearing this, Zhao Qi's eyes flashed with appreciation. . However, he did not express his position immediately, but turned around and said to the disciple beside him.
"Take Her Royal Highness the Princess to the guest room to rest, and I will make a decision after thinking about it."
Seeing this, Zhu Ji felt a little disappointed, but she still kept a decent smile and followed her disciple. Got the guest room.
The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and shines on the training ground in the back mountain of Qitian Sect.
Lu Xueyao, Liu Ruyan and Han Feng were sitting cross-legged and practicing their mental skills. Suddenly, Lu Xueyao opened her eyes, breaking the tranquility.
“Have you heard?” Lu Xueyao said mysteriously, “Princess Zhu Ji came to our sect yesterday.”
Liu Ruyan also opened her eyes and asked curiously: "Oh? She's the princess of Zhu Ziguo "Why did she come to our sect?"
"It is said that she wants to learn from the master," Han Feng said with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "I didn't expect that Her Highness would also be interested in our way of cultivating immortals. Interested.”
"Hmph, I don't think it's that simple." Lu Xueyao snorted and frowned, "Don't you think it's a coincidence that this princess came? It happened just after we had a conflict with the Blood Puppet Sect."
Liu Ruyan nodded and said thoughtfully: "You mean, she might be a spy sent by Zhu Ziguo?"
"It's not impossible." Han Feng said, "After all, Between us and Zhu Ziguo The relationship between them is subtle, and they have always wanted to infiltrate our sect."
"Maybe the princess is really here to learn skills?" Lu Xueyao asked, "We can't do it just because of our suspicions. Denying other people's sincerity."
"Sincerely? Look at the gifts she brought, they don't look like they are here to learn skills?" Liu Ruyan said disdainfully. .
Han Feng laughed: "Haha, you girls are so sensitive. But then again, if she is really a spy, then we have to be careful."
"Be careful about what? Our Qitian Sect is not that It's easy to be penetrated." Lu Xueyao said confidently, "And the sect leader is so wise and powerful, he will definitely not let her succeed."
"That's not true. Definitely." Liu Ruyan shook his head, "Don't forget, the sect master is also a man. When a man faces a beautiful woman, his IQ will plummet."
"Haha, you are right. Yes!" Han Feng laughed, "But I believe that the sect leader has his own sense of proportion." As the three of them were discussing, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of them. It turned out that the leader of the clan, Zhao Qi, came to the back mountain in person to inspect the cultivation of his disciples.
"Sect Master!" The three of them shouted in unison.
Zhao Qi nodded and glanced at the three of them: "What were you talking about just now? So involved."
Lu Xueyao hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: "Sect Master , we are talking about Princess Zhu Ji who came yesterday."
"Oh? Do you think she is a spy?" Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at them with a half-smile.
The three of them looked at each other, and finally Lu Xueyao mustered up the courage to say: "The lord is wise, we do have this doubt."
"Haha, you are very vigilant." Zhao Qi laughed.
"But you can rest assured, I have my own sense of discretion. I know Zhu Ji's purpose very clearly, and I also know at a glance whether she is a spy."
The three of them all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. , it seems that the sect master already has a plan in mind.
"Okay, you can continue to practice." Zhao Qi waved his hand, "Don't let this matter affect your practice progress."
After saying that, he turned and left, The three of them were left to continue practicing in the back mountain. The discussion about Zhu Ji gradually subsided over time, but this incident left a deep mark in their hearts.
In the following days, Zhu Ji's performance in Qitian Sect was also quite low-key and hardworking, which impressed everyone.
And Zhao Qi has always maintained vigilance and observation, waiting for the development of things.
In a quiet courtyard within the Qitian Sect, Zhu Ji was sitting in an exquisite pavilion, with an indescribable desire in her eyes.
Her maid Xiaolian stood by carefully, fearing that any omission might offend the princess from Zhu Ziguo.
"Xiaolian, do you think it's possible for me to become a senior member of Qitian Sect?" Zhu Ji suddenly asked, with a hint of unwillingness and desire in her tone.
Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The princess is naturally beautiful, and with the support of the king, she must be able to make a difference in Qitian Sect."
Zhu Ji sighed softly, shook her head and said : "You don't understand. The world of cultivating immortals is about strength, not birth. Although I am a princess, here I am just an ordinary disciple."
As she spoke, a flash of light flashed in her eyes. Jealousy: "Look at those female disciples, Lu Xueyao , Liu Ruyan and the others are not only highly skilled, but their appearance is not inferior to mine. If I want to gain a foothold here, I must be better than them."
After hearing this, Xiaolian couldn't help but feel worried. :"Princess, You are already so good, why bother competing with others? What if something goes wrong..."
"Make a mistake? I, Zhu Ji, are never afraid of anything going wrong." Zhu Ji interrupted Xiaolian with a flash in her eyes. A little stubborn.
"Not only do I want to cultivate immortality, I also want to become a high-level member of the Qitian Sect, and even... marry the leader of the Qitian Sect!"
Xiaolian was shocked by Zhu Ji's ambition, but she knew the princess's temperament , persuasion is impossible. So she could only stand aside silently and pray that the princess would be safe and well.
Zhu Ji seemed to be lost in her own thoughts and continued to talk to herself: "Zong Master Zhao Qi, he is the most outstanding man I have ever seen. I want to be his wife and fight alongside him , to protect Qitian Sect together."
When she said this, a firm light flashed in her eyes. But then she thought of something again, and her face became a little gloomy.
"However, those female disciples who are prettier than me are really annoying. They always attract the attention of Sect Leader Zhao Qi, which is really annoying."
Xiaolian sighed secretly when she saw the princess's mood changes. She knew that the princess's ambition and jealousy were two major obstacles on her path to becoming an immortal.
But she also believes that as long as the princess can overcome these inner demons, she will be able to carve out a world of her own in the world of immortality.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard. Zhu Ji and Xiaolian turned to look at the same time and saw a Qitian Sect disciple walking over in a hurry.
"Your Royal Highness, the sect master invites you to go to the main hall." The disciple said respectfully.
A hint of joy flashed in Zhu Ji's eyes. Could it be that Sect Leader Zhao Qi was looking for her? She quickly stood up, straightened her dress, and said to Xiaolian: "Quick, accompany me to the main hall."
Xiaolian responded and quickly followed Zhu Ji towards the main hall. She prayed secretly in her heart, hoping that this time the princess could have a good start with Sect Leader Zhao Qi. However, when they arrived at the main hall, they found that the atmosphere was somewhat solemn. Sect Leader Zhao Qi sat on the main seat with his brows furrowed, as if something was bothering him.
Zhu Ji's heart tightened, could something have happened? She quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Zhu Ji has met the sect master."
Zhao Qi raised his head and glanced at her, nodded and said, "You are here, sit down."
Zhu Ji Yiyan sat down, but her heart was full of doubts. She couldn't help but ask: "Sect Master, did something happen?"
Zhao Qi sighed and said: "There have been some changes in the Blood Puppet Sect recently. I suspect that they may be detrimental to our Qitian Sect."
Zhu Ji was shocked when she heard this. The Blood Puppet Sect is one of the evil sects in the world of immortality. First, if they are really detrimental to Qitian Sect, what should they do?
She quickly said: "Sect Master, do you need me to do anything?"
Zhao Qi glanced at her, a glint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
"I'm very happy that you are willing to contribute to the sect. However, you can't help with this matter yet. I will arrange for other disciples to handle it."
Zhu Ji was a little disappointed after hearing this, but she also knew that her strength was indeed not strong enough. So she could only nod and respond: "Yes, sect master."
Zhao Qi gave her a few more instructions, asking her to practice hard and strive to become the backbone of the sect as soon as possible.
After hearing this, Zhu Ji secretly made up her mind to practice hard and contribute her strength to Qitian Sect.
At the same time, you must also find ways to enhance your charm and strive to realize your ambitions as soon as possible.
The sun shines through the clouds and shines on the market in Zhu Ziguo, which is full of people and bustling.
Zhu Ji was wearing a gorgeous dress and walking in the alleys of the market. Her appearance seemed to add a bit of color to the lively market.
"Your Highness, why did you come to the market in person?" a vendor asked in surprise.
Zhu Ji smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "I just came to listen to the rumors in the market and feel the atmosphere of folk life."
After hearing this, the hawker came immediately Interested, he came closer and said: "Your Highness, you have come to the right place! This market There are all kinds of news on the Internet, and the latest rumor is that the Blood Puppet Sect has a magical rejuvenation technique that can make people look beautiful forever!"
When Zhu Ji heard this, a light flashed in her eyes, and she gently said He raised his eyebrows and asked pretending not to care, "Oh? Is there really such a strange thing?"
"It's absolutely true!" the vendor said with confidence, "I heard that the elder shaman of the Blood Puppet Sect relied on this kind of magic to maintain such a youthful appearance."
Zhu Ji's heart moved, but On the surface, she still maintains the reserve and nobility of a princess. She chuckled and said, "This rumor is quite interesting, but it's just a rumor."
After saying that, she turned and left, leaving the hawker in a daze.
Zhu Ji's heart was full of turmoil. For her, the eternal beauty was undoubtedly a huge temptation.
As a princess, she naturally hopes that she can stay young and beautiful forever.
"The magic of rejuvenation..." Zhu Ji murmured to herself, with a firm light shining in her eyes. She decided that she would find an opportunity to learn this magical skill no matter what.
So, in the following days, Zhu Ji began to secretly inquire about the Blood Puppet Sect and the Huanyan Magic.
She even spent a lot of money to bribe some well-informed people in the market, just to get more clues about this magical technique.
However, things did not go as smoothly as expected. As one of the evil sects in the world of immortality, the Blood Puppet Sect acts in secrets, and it is not easy to get access to their core secrets.
Although Zhu Ji is a princess, her status does not bring her much convenience in the world of immortality.
However, Zhu Ji did not give up. She firmly believes that as long as she works hard enough, she will one day find the opportunity to learn the magic of rejuvenation.
The night is hazy, and the moonlight shines on the mountain road, as if it has put a mysterious veil on this silent night.
Zhu Ji quietly left Qitian Sect under the moonlight, her heart full of expectation and anxiety. Tonight, she will secretly go to the Blood Puppet Sect to find the legendary rejuvenating magic.
After some twists and turns, Zhu Ji finally arrived at the entrance to the secret room of the Blood Puppet Sect.
She took a deep breath and knocked gently on the door of the secret room. The door slowly opened, and a sinister voice came from inside: "Welcome to the Blood Puppet Sect, Your Highness the Princess."
Zhu Ji walked into the secret room and saw an old man sitting in the center. His face was full of traces of time, but his eyes shone with a cunning light.
This old man is the shaman elder of the Blood Puppet Sect, an expert of the evil sect who is famous for his practice of puppetry.
“Her Royal Highness the Princess came to visit late at night. I don’t know why?” Elder Wu asked slowly.
Zhu Ji gritted her teeth and decided to speak frankly: "I heard that the Blood Puppet Sect has a magical rejuvenation technique that can make people look beautiful forever. I...I want to learn this magical technique."
When Elder Wu heard this, a sly smile flashed in his eyes: "Oh? Your Highness the Princess cares so much about appearance. Is it because those female disciples of Qitian Sect are more beautiful than you?"
< br>
Zhu Ji's face turned slightly red after being told what she was thinking, but she still said firmly: "I am willing to pay any price to learn this kind of magic."
"Hahaha!" Elder Wu laughed. Get up, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is indeed a smart person. However, learning the magic of rejuvenation is not that simple. You need to go through some special training and tests."
Zhu Ji nodded without hesitation: "No matter what the test is, I am willing to accept it."
A hint of success flashed in Elder Wu's eyes, and he stood up slowly and walked away Go to Zhu Ji: "Then, please come with me, Your Highness Princess."
Under the guidance of the elder witch, Zhu Ji began to learn the magic of rejuvenation. However, she did not realize that all this was the conspiracy of the elder witch.
During the learning process, the elder witch secretly used the puppet technique on her, gradually controlling her mind.
Zhu Ji seemed to have fallen into an inescapable dream, and her consciousness began to become blurred.
In the dream, she saw her eternal appearance, saw herself becoming a high-ranking member of Qitian Sect, and saw Zhao Qi’s admiring eyes towards her...
However, , all this is just an illusion created by Elder Wu.
When Zhu Ji woke up from her dream, she found that she had returned to Qitian Sect. (End of chapter)
