The dragon coiled incense in the incense burner continued to burn, and the fragrance refreshed the heart and lungs. With his eyes closed, Zhao Ning guided the true energy to continuously circulate the small Zhoutian. Repeatedly, after every nine small Zhoutians, there was a big Zhoutian.

After completing each Great Week, Zhao Ning felt that his Qi Sea had become a little fuller, which meant that the True Qi in the Qi Sea was thicker. Only when the True Qi was thick enough to a certain level, could he try to break through the barrier.

At present, Zhao Ning's Qi sea is equivalent to a "bowl". When the barrier is broken, it will reach the level of a "cylinder". Only with the richness of the Qi at that time can the conditions be met for the release of the Qi.

When there is no Dragon Panxiang, Zhao Ning will end the night's practice every time the true energy circulates for nine days. If he continues, neither the meridians nor the sea of ​​​​Qi can bear it.

But now, the meridians are still strong, the Qi is also very agile, and the Qi sea is as stable as a mountain. Zhao Ning begins to control the Qi to gather into a tide and hit the barrier.

Once, twice, three times...the sixth tide hit the barrier. After being pushed back, the true energy became weak and sank back into the sea of ​​energy.

Zhao Ning was not discouraged and started from the beginning, controlling the true energy to move the Small Zhoutian, then the Great Zhoutian, and finally used the momentum of the tide to hit the physical Qi sea barrier.

This time the tide rose and fell seven times.

This was repeated, and after several cycles, when the tides finally converged into the ninth wave, Zhao Ning could not help but calm down and concentrate all his energy.

The ninth wave is formed, and if there is no accident, it will break through the barrier. This is his cultivation experience in his previous life. Ordinary practitioners may need the ninth wave to repeatedly wash away the barrier, but Zhao Ning does not need it. This is a manifestation of his talent.

Boom! Zhao Ning seemed to hear the sound of thunder, and it was like an egg breaking its shell. The sea of ​​​​air suddenly swayed, like the waves that broke through the dam, spreading outward and entering a wider world.

"Middle stage of Qi Control Realm!"

Zhao Ning felt happy, knowing that he had taken another big step forward on the road of spiritual practice.

It had only been two months since he reached the early stage of Qi Controlling Realm, and now he has reached the middle stage of Qi Controlling Realm. This speed is extraordinary. In his previous life, it took him a full four months.

Long Panxiang contributed a lot here, and the improved version of "Qingyun Jue" also played a significant role in promoting it. Zhao Ning's second attempt at this realm, and being familiar with the road are also important.

Autumn hunting will start in three days. Zhao Ning did not relax. Knowing that there was still some leftover Long Panxiang and it was still early, he continued to warm up his true energy and stabilize his state.

...

On the day of the autumn hunt, Zhao Ning also got up at dawn, and Xia He took care of him to wash himself.

There used to be a lot of maids and servants in his yard, especially when he was a running dog, there would always be a group of minions behind him. But after he was reborn, his youthful and frivolous temper no longer existed, and his behavior became much more indifferent, and the people in the yard became

Not many are left.

After Zhao Ning rinsed his mouth and face, Xia He poured out the water in the basin and ran out. In the blink of an eye, he quickly brought breakfast, as fast as a squirrel.

The millet porridge and steamed buns on the plate were very generous, obviously enough for two people.

After setting the dishes and serving porridge to Zhao Ning, Xia He looked at Zhao Ning with his big eyes, motionless, full of expectation and little joy.

How could Zhao Ning not know what the other party was thinking? It seemed that after getting up this morning, this girl did not fill her stomach as usual, but endured her greed until now, just hoping to have breakfast with Zhao Ning.

.

Of course, it may also be that he didn't want to be teased by Zhao Ning with a bun in his hand, so he could only bite it off bit by bit, and finally learned his lesson.

Zhao Ning moved his chopsticks and motioned for Xia He to sit down and eat together. The latter, who had been waiting for Zhao Ning to express his position for a long time, immediately sat down and showed a silent smile to Zhao Ning.

"Eat it so quickly?" Zhao Ning just took a bite of the buns, and Zhao Qiyue came in with two trays in his hands. Each tray had a large noodle bowl, steaming with the aroma of onions and garlic.

.

Because the noodle bowl was bigger than her head, Zhao Qiyue, who was holding two trays, could no longer see her head and upper half of her body, and it was unclear how she could see the road.

Zhao Ning stood up quickly, took down the noodle bowl, and gave Zhao Qiyue a strange look.

"I'm going to the hunting ground today. This is a reward for you. I wish you success and enter the top three."

Zhao Qiyue patted the non-existent dust on his little hands, "I thought I came here early enough, but I didn't expect you were already eating."

Zhao Ning liked noodles when he was a child. Zhao Qiyue often cooked them for him at that time, but he lost interest in noodles after he turned twelve. The main reason was that Zhao Qiyue's cooking skills were not very good, and although the meals he made were sold

The appearance is very good and the fragrance is sufficient, but the taste is hard to describe and cannot be compared with Zhao Yujie.

Back in the capital, Zhao Ning also cooked several times while practicing and cooked roast lamb for Zhao Qiyue several times. Later, he was ordered by the other party to hurry up and practice, so that was all.

Unexpectedly, today, Zhao Qiyue came over with noodles made by himself, and he came so early. He probably entered the kitchen before dawn.

Although her cooking skills are not very good, her cooking attitude is very serious. She will never use ready-made noodles. She can mix the noodles herself and start from scratch, so it definitely takes a lot of time.

Zhao Ning threw the rice porridge buns aside, picked up the noodle bowl and started eating.

He suddenly discovered something strange. The noodles were not as bad as he remembered. They could even be called delicious. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise them.

Zhao Qiyue ate in small bites, looking very ladylike, and glanced at Zhao Ning from time to time. Until she heard Zhao Ning's praise, she raised her brows and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She didn't laugh out loud, but she ate much more happily.

The two of them were eating noodles, and Xia He, who was drinking porridge and eating steamed buns alone, looked lonely and a little aggrieved no matter how you looked at it. However, the noodles were made by Zhao Qiyue herself, and the rice porridge steamed buns were ready-made products she got from the kitchen.

, it can’t be said to be sad.

After breakfast, Zhao Qiyue took the lead and left with a tray. It looked like she was going to the kitchen to wash the dishes herself.

Zhao Ning is not surprised by this. This is Zhao Qiyue's habit, which can also be said to be a quirk. She either doesn't cook by herself. Once she is interested in cooking, she will complete all the steps. Not to mention that she will not let go of washing the dishes.

Even the stove and floor must be cleaned.

When Zhao Ning went out, it was three o'clock in the morning. The weather was sunny and sunny in September. Zhao Xuanji's car-driven ceremonial guard had already lined up in front of the house. The team of a hundred or ten people was huge.

The Autumn Hunting is a grand ceremony, and you will stay in the Royal Forest Garden for several days. Young people of appropriate age from many clans are already in the team, and clansmen serving in the capital are also wearing official robes. Everyone is talking to each other in high spirits.

Zhao Ning came to her seat, and as soon as she got on her horse, Zhao Qiyue joined in. She was going sightseeing, and she could also cheer Zhao Ning by the way.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhao Xuanji gave the order and the team headed towards Zhuque Street. Along the way, they met many teams, some of them were nobles from aristocratic families, some were officials, and their sizes varied.

After walking up Zhuque Street, Zhao Xuanji went to the Imperial City, where he was going to accompany the emperor's team. Zhao's team changed its leader and went to wait outside the city gate first.

When Zhao's team arrived outside the city gate, there were already a lot of people here, on both sides of the road. The two areas closest to the city gate were empty, and those were the seats for Zhao and Xu.

The team that was separated from the Zhao family by a group of people was the Hexi Wei family, which was also the Luguo family. After the Zhao family's team was arranged, Wei Wuxian came over and chatted with Zhao Ning.

As for Chen's team, they were in the civilian queue opposite and were still far away from the city gate. It seemed that Chen Anzhi would not come.

After waiting for about half an hour, the emperor's procession walked straight out of the city gate from Zhuque Street. Everyone waiting outside the city gate bowed and saluted.

The sun was already very high at this time, but the various flags and signs in the emperor's team allowed Zhao Ning to enjoy the shade for a full two-quarters of an hour. Although this was a quite pleasant thing, when the carriages and horses rolled under the

The clothes are covered with mud and dust, and no one finds it interesting anymore.

After the long line led by the emperor completely walked out of the Zhuque Gate, the Zhao family's team was the first to follow, followed by the Xu family of Xishui. Eighteen nobles and thirteen sects set out in sequence. The Wei family in Hexi was naturally at the front, and the Qingzhou family was ranked first.

Mrs. Chen was at the very back of the team.

A team of several thousand people, escorted by the 30,000-yuan imperial army, marched leisurely towards Fuyun Mountain.

...

Leaving the city gate, Zhao Ning was thoughtful.

Just now, in the emperor's team, he saw a different kind of existence that was beyond his expectation.

He didn't expect that the other party would appear here.

That is the guard of honor for Princess Beihu Tianyuan.

Zhao Ning did not meet Xiao Yan face to face when he was in Daizhou City. In the past, he had only seen Xiao Yan from a distance a few times, and they were all in the envoy team of Beihu pilgrims.

It is not the time to pay tribute in Beihu. After passing through Daizhou, Xiao Yan appeared in front of people in a grand manner and followed the emperor to Fuyun Mountain Royal Forest Garden. Zhao Ning had to think about the deeper meaning of this.

"Princess Yanyantemuir of Beihu came to the capital not long ago. She made a special trip to apologize for her unauthorized intrusion into Daizhou last time and offered another apology. It is said that the gifts were so rich that even the officials of Honglu Temple were speechless.

."

The speaker was not Zhao Qiyue, but a young man about her age, with a dignified appearance and a strong body. "Princess Beihu was very respectful and repented many times in public. She often won praises from important ministers.

"

Speaking of this, Zhao Xin curled his lips and said, "This Princess Beihu is not old, but she is very scheming. Prime Minister Xu doesn't know how much benefit he has gained from her, but he actually speaks for her. He is really a thief if he is too old to die!"

After listening to his brother Zhao Xin's nagging, Zhao Ning understood the reason and looked forward again.

In order to hide his intention to invade the south, prevent Da Qi from taking precautions against them, and ensure the sudden nature of the war, Bei Hu has put in a lot of efforts over the years.

The incident in Daizhou made the emperor somewhat wary of Beihu. As a result, Xiao Yan immediately apologized with great fanfare. This not only showed that Beihu was magnanimous in heart and had not done anything wrong to Daqi, but also doubled down on his humility.

And since the emperor was willing to take her hunting in autumn, it shows that the emperor accepted Xiao Yan's apology to some extent.

Logically speaking, Zhao Ning should be worried at this time.

But he didn't.
Chapter completed!
