Chapter 141 Breakthrough
"What does Grandfather Huang mean?" Chu Zhiyuan asked with a smile.

The maids from the palace below once again served tea and snacks.

Huang Cheng laughed and said, "Prince Yuan, the emperor is asking for your opinion. It's up to you."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Grandfather Emperor, just make the decision. I will follow your orders."

Huang Cheng smiled like Maitreya Buddha, and said, "The Emperor values ​​the prince and really wants the prince to make his own decision, whether to advance or postpone it."

Chu Zhiyuan looked at him thoughtfully. Huang Cheng was smiling, but it was hard to tell the depth of his smile.

Chu Zhiyuan said slowly: "Huang Zhongshi, then let's do it in advance."

"If you arrive early, the emperor will give you a small reward." Huang Cheng said with a smile.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled immediately: "What treasure?"

I really made the right bet.

"Two pieces of dragon fat incense." Huang Cheng took out a small cold jade box from his sleeve, opened it, and inside were two pieces of dragon fat incense.

The size was exactly the same as his previous one, and it looked like a gold nugget, with a dark golden light flashing occasionally.

Chu Zhiyuan took it with a smile, feeling deeply moved. Two more fifth-grade merits. If he were to make merits himself, how much effort would it take?
It is still faster to get the emperor's wool.

He smiled and closed the cold jade box: "Huang Zhongshi, if I delay, there will be no dragon fat fragrance, right?"

"Exactly."

"The Royal Grandfather is worthy of being the Royal Grandfather!" Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"Is the prince satisfied with this reward?"

"Thank Grandfather Huang for me."

"I will definitely bring it to you."

Chu Zhiyuan sat down and sipped his tea. "If I fail this time, will Grandfather withdraw my imperial decree?"

"...Yes." Huang Cheng sat down and sipped his tea. "The Emperor said that if we lose, it is God's will. He ordered the Duke of Anguo to go."

Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.

The person who will succeed him is quite delicate.

All I can say is, he is worthy of being the emperor.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "What if I win?"

"If you win, the emperor said there will be a reward."

"What is the reward?"

"Ten dollars for Dragon Fat Incense."

Chu Zhiyuan's eyes lit up.

The effect of the Dragon Fat Incense will diminish as you improve upon the first level of the Dragon Transformation Art, but no matter how much it diminishes, it will still be much faster than practicing the first level of the Dragon Transformation Art by yourself.

You can save yourself several times more time.

Ten pieces of dragon fat incense would equal ten fifth-grade merits. Even if I risked my life, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to achieve ten fifth-grade merits in a year.

The fifth level of Kung Fu cannot be achieved through hard work alone; it also requires opportunities and depends on whether something big will happen.

If the world is peaceful and nothing happens, or if the martial arts sects are behaving themselves, or if the evil monsters do not come near, then it will be very difficult to obtain the fifth-grade merit.

Unless you reach the border.

That is the real danger, and I will never get involved in it easily.

He couldn't help but wonder, after using ten pieces of dragon fat incense, to what extent could he improve?
It is difficult to break through to the Grandmaster level, and every step is difficult, but comparatively speaking, the first three levels are the easiest, the middle three levels are difficult, and the last three levels are the most difficult.

With the Dragon Fat Incense and the Jade Lock and Golden Gate Secret, I can shorten a lot of time.

He was confident that he could enter the third heaven with the twelve pieces of dragon fat incense, but the fourth heaven might not be so easy to enter.

Thinking of this, his smile became even wider: "Okay, I'll take this reward."

"Don't be careless, Prince Yuan," Huang Cheng said, "This Ninth Princess is no ordinary person. She is a genius and is extraordinary."

Chu Zhiyuan said solemnly: "I never underestimate the enemy."

Huang Cheng laughed and said, "That's true. I was worrying too much. Then I will go back to the palace to see the emperor."

"Your Excellency, thank you for your hard work." Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists and smiled as he walked him out.

-

Chu Zhiyuan took two pieces of dragon fat incense and went directly to the new house. He practiced in the new house and wanted to absorb the dragon fat incense as soon as possible.

If he could break through one step and enter the third heaven, he would be more confident. Unfortunately, after taking two pieces of dragon fat incense, his meridians became more resilient, but he was unable to break through the second floor of the copper building.

The easiest floor to break through is the top floor.

The second level of the copper building was indeed different in strength. Even with the continuous impact of twelve dragon-binding ropes, it still couldn't break it open.

In the realm of the second heaven, the qi is more refined, and the pressure on the meridians is greater. Originally, it could only withstand eight dragon-binding ropes, but now with the use of two pieces of dragon fat incense, it can withstand twelve dragon-binding ropes.

But the twelve dragon-binding ropes clearly did not feel enough.

It is no longer possible to enhance the toughness of the meridians in a short period of time.

He sighed helplessly.

One can only rely on hard work, alternately practicing the first level of the Dragon Transformation Art and the Cleansing Meridians Art, with the assistance of the Emperor of Heaven and Earth Sutra.

Progress is not slow either.

That morning, in the morning light, he was standing on the Zi Yang Posture, practicing the Zi Yang Sutra, absorbing the purple light scattered in the void.

Strands of purple light fell into the body and merged into the Qi of the Zi Yang Sutra, making the Qi more refined and warmer.

This trace of warmth warmed his heart, which was obviously mysterious and was the foundation of the Grand Master.

He was just getting into the mood, feeling intoxicated, when suddenly a clear sound was heard, shaking the sky.

Chu Zhiyuan's face changed slightly and he looked up.

His extrasensory sense allowed him to quickly track the direction from which the sound came.

Who has achieved a breakthrough in cultivation?

The breakthrough to the Grandmaster level doesn’t seem to make such a big splash, but the breakthrough to the Grandmaster level makes a much bigger splash than this.

He felt something was wrong, as if it had something to do with him.

Then his expression changed slightly.

Could it be that Li Hongzhao has made a breakthrough?

Judging from the direction of the sound, it indeed came from Sifang Pavilion.

Maybe Li Hongzhao has made a breakthrough!

……

"My Lord, it is indeed the Ninth Princess of the Great Mongolia, Li Hongzhao. She has just broken through to the third level of Grandmaster."

"Is the Third Heaven so powerful?"

"It is said that Li Hongzhao is practicing the Phoenix Sword Sect's most supreme martial art, the Phoenix Cry Nine Heavens Art which has been lost for hundreds of years. The momentum of his breakthrough is particularly great."

"Nine Heavens Art of Phoenix's Cry..." Chu Zhiyuan frowned and thought.

He searched quickly in his mind, but couldn't find it.

Neither Tongtian Pavilion nor Mingwu Palace has any record of the Phoenix Cry Nine Heavens Technique, or maybe I haven't read it yet.

After all, most of my time during this period has been spent on spiritual practice, and the time for reading has been greatly reduced.

It seems that after I slow down for a while, I need to calm down and read well, and try to go through all the books in Tongtian Pavilion and Mingwu Hall and memorize them.

Zou Fang stood quietly in front of him with a calm expression.

But I was extremely worried.

It is a huge pressure for anyone when the opponent breaks through at the critical moment.

Moreover, we only now know that what Li Hongzhao was practicing was actually the supreme martial art of the Phoenix Sword Sect, a martial art that had been lost for hundreds of years.

If you encounter such an opponent, you may not be able to win even if you are at the same level.

What's more, she suddenly advanced to a higher level.

The Crown Prince’s second level was suppressed!

Although he was nervous and worried, his face remained calm, as if it was just a trivial piece of news.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Zou Fang, are you scared?"

Zou Fang smiled and said, "The ninth princess of the Great Mongolia, Li Hongzhao, is strong, but the prince is not bad either. Moreover, this is just a competition, not a life-and-death fight. With the prince's natural talent, even if he loses this time, he will surely win next time!"

"You are good at comforting people," Chu Zhiyuan looked towards the Sifang Pavilion and said slowly, "It looks like we will lose this time."

Zou Fang said: "There is no undefeated person in the world, my lord, don't take it to heart."

Chu Zhiyuan said slowly: "No matter what, we have to fight to know!"
