Chapter 72 Palace Dinner
Tangmen, inner courtyard.
A somewhat forlorn-looking figure stood in the yard.
Even though half a year had passed, Tang San felt depressed every time he thought about what happened at his ninth birthday party half a year ago.
The humiliation in the Haotian Sect at the age of six, and the humiliation at the ninth birthday banquet made Tang San completely understand the importance of his own strength.
Therefore, in the past six months, Tang San cultivated like crazy, and forcefully opened the eight extraordinary meridians regardless of risks.
Although the process was tortuous and dangerous, he almost died due to severed meridians.
But at the critical moment, the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline that had not yet awakened in Tang San's body helped him and helped him survive the crisis.
Risks and benefits coexist.
That dangerous attempt allowed Tang San to directly open up the Chongmai and Daimai of the eight extraordinary meridians.
The eight meridians opened up the two meridians, and the speed of Xuantian Kung was accelerated, which was equivalent to increasing Tang San's cultivation speed.
In addition, Tang San also registered a name in the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy in the name of Tang Yuehua's nephew, using this to gain access to the academy's mimic training venue.
When Tang San broke through level 20, he was eight and a half years old.
After absorbing the gladiolus soul ring that lasted for more than seven hundred years and nearly eight hundred years, his soul power broke through to level 22.
Now, one year has passed.
In this year, Tang San's attitude towards cultivation had completely different changes in the first half and the second half.
In the first half of the year, I focused on making hidden weapons. Although I practiced seriously, it was not hard.
But it was different in the second half of the year. After Tang San, who was awakened by Lin Rong, realized the importance of his own strength, he acted extremely crazy in his cultivation.
In addition, Tang San opened up two of the eight meridians, and the total amount of soul power increased in the second half of the year was more than double that of the first half of the year.
In the past year, Tang San had raised his spirit power by four levels in total, and was now a great spirit master at the twenty-sixth level.
"According to the current speed of cultivation, in five years' time, in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, I should have a soul power cultivation level close to that of a Soul King."
"During this period, I can at least open up one of the eight extraordinary meridians again, and my cultivation speed can be further improved."
"At that time, I will participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition with the cultivation level of Soul King, and win the final championship, re-establishing the prestige of my Tang Sect!"
"When the name of the Tang Sect spreads throughout the continent, I will let those who have a way to kill themselves see the methods of our Tang Sect!"
"The elders of the Haotian Sect and the Lin family, just wait!"
……
"A sneeze!"
Deep in the manor, in the wooden house, Lin Rong sneezed while sitting on the sofa.
"Young master, spring is coming and the nights are cold. Remember to cover yourself with a quilt when you go to bed at night."
After the old housekeeper heard this, he walked behind Lin Rong and put a plush blanket on him.
"No, Grandpa Yu, you are thinking too much."
Lin Rong rubbed her nose and said:
"Don't forget the effect of my martial spirit. It's just a cold spring, how can I catch a cold."
"It must be someone with ill intentions who is thinking about me secretly and has some bad intentions."
"Really, I just came back to my house yesterday, and someone is talking about me today. Who could it be?"
Lin Rong thought about it and guessed that it was probably that guy Tang San.
"What a restless guy. If he hadn't been valuable, he wouldn't have seen the sun tomorrow."
Then, Lin Rong seemed to remember something, looked at the old housekeeper and said:
"By the way, Grandpa Yu, I won't go to the palace banquet tonight."
"You have someone send a message to the royal family, saying that I have entered deep meditation and cannot attend tonight's dinner."
Every night before the start of the Continental Senior Soul Master Elite Tournament, the royal family would hold a grand palace dinner as usual. This royal court dinner was grand in scale and the threshold was extremely high.
Only hereditary nobles with the title of earl and above, and non-hereditary nobles with the title of marquis and above, are eligible to participate.
Although this dinner was high-end, it was still essentially an extravagant and lascivious hedonistic activity with no practical significance at all.
Lin Rong didn't want to waste time on this.
Moreover, when the royal family holds such a grand palace dinner, the palace guards are basically concentrated in the palace garden, and the guards in other places will have the most empty time.
He just took this opportunity to sneak into the palace and take away the national treasure.
"Old slave understands."
The old housekeeper replied, then left the cabin and went to handle the matter resolutely.
……
After night falls, twilight falls.
The center of Tiandou City.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
The palace gardens were brightly lit.
A group of well-dressed nobles gathered in the garden to enjoy themselves.
In the garden, Ning Fengzhi looked around the entire garden but could not see the figure he wanted to see.
"Teacher." Xue Qinghe approached Ning Fengzhi and greeted in a low voice:
"Are you looking for Duke Lin?"
"Earlier, someone from the Lin Mansion sent word that Duke Lin had entered deep meditation and was unable to attend tonight's banquet."
"Deep meditation?" Ning Fengzhi was a little surprised when he heard this.
"It's such a rare opportunity that Duke Lin met him. It's really good luck."
Although there was not much movement about what happened in the Tang Sect half a year ago, it could not be hidden from the Qibao Glazed Sect as a partner.
As the head of the Qibao Glazed Sect, Ning Fengzhi naturally knew about the Min clan's tragic annihilation and the Yu clan's departure from the Tang clan.
After sending people to secretly investigate, Ning Fengzhi got some clues.
The annihilation of the Min clan is suspected to be the work of Dugu Bo.
The reason for the Yu clan is unknown, but there is a high probability that there is an irreconcilable conflict between the Yu clan and the Tang clan.
That day, Gu Rong felt a hint of danger from the old housekeeper Yu Yuan.
Gu Rong told Ning Fengzhi about this matter.
Afterwards, Ning Fengzhi combined the clues he got with what Gu Rong told him, and vaguely discovered some incredible truth.
But these are just conjectures in Ning Fengzhi's mind, without any substantive evidence to prove them all.
It was not good to come to visit rashly, and Lin Rong often traveled far away, so Ning Fengzhi never found a suitable time to meet Lin Rong.
I thought that this palace dinner would be a good opportunity, but I didn't expect that Lin Rong didn't come.
Another part of the garden.
Tang San stood there, never letting go of any opportunity to promote the Tang Sect, so naturally he would not miss this grand and unprecedented palace dinner.
In order to avoid meeting Lin Rong again at the dinner party, Tang San deliberately chose a secluded corner. Unexpectedly, instead of meeting Lin Rong, he was blocked by a girl of the same age.
"You are Tang San, you look so ordinary, are you really Madam Yue's nephew?"
The little royal princess Xue Ke, who was only nine years old, looked at the person in front of her and felt very dissatisfied, thinking:
"I thought Mrs. Yue's nephew would be very handsome, but I didn't expect that his appearance would be so ordinary. It doesn't fit the image of Prince Charming in my heart at all."
"But my father intends for me to marry this person. No, I have to find a way to mess up this marriage."
