Li Haotian was secretly shocked, and the inner part of the royal family was so complicated, and it seemed that the struggle between the various tribes was also fierce.

At this time, the racket suddenly said: "In the essay we watched, it was recorded that more than 100 emperors of the Heavenly Dragon Empire belonged to different branches, not all of them came from father to son. What this wind knife said is true, and this royal family must have important resources in control of the country, otherwise it is difficult to threaten the emperor. ”

Li Haotian's face did not move, and his heart was temporarily the same. So he exclaimed: "Can they interfere in the affairs of the Lichu?"

Feng Dao was very satisfied with Li Haotian's reaction, and said with a sneer: "Do you know what kind of place Tianlun Ranch is?"

"The teacher just said that it is the royal ranch of my Li family. Li Haotian replied.

Wind Knife shook his head, "You're right, but that's not what I said. The largest gangue mineral in the Tianlong Empire is in this Tianlun Ranch. And there are ambergris nuts, a specialty of my Celestial Dragon Empire, in the pasture. ”

Li Haotian was slightly shocked in his heart, he understood what the vein stone meant to a vein cultivator or a country. The vein stone can not only help the pulse repair to quickly recover the pulse qi, but also one of the energy sources of many pulse tools and pulse arrays. Mastering the gangue mine is mastering the lifeblood of a country, and the reason why the royal family has such a big power must be because of this. It's just that with Emperor Zhenyu's skill, can't he control the royal family? And what is that ambergris fruit? I have to go to the Imperial Book Pavilion to check it out.

"Therefore, if you, as the crown prince, do not participate in the hunt, the other tribes will inevitably be arrogant. After participating in the competition and not getting good results, other tribes will also look down on the prince, and even create all kinds of troubles when the old emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne. Wind Knife explained.

Li Haotian finally understood the disappointment in the emperor's eyes when he tested his pulse for the first time. It turned out to be because of this competition.

"Dare to ask the teacher, how many disciples ranked in last year's competition?" asked Li Haotian.

Fengdao glanced at Li Haotian, obviously reminding that it was not you who participated in the competition last year, but the real prince. It's just that he just snorted, and continued: "In last year's competition, the prince was at the level of the tenth level of the pulse disciple, although he did not reach the peak of the tenth level, it was not too close. But only in third place. ”

"Third?" Li Haotian Daqi, is he a tenth level of disciples, or is it only the third, could it be that among the peers of the royal family, there are still masters?"

"The first is the son of the Tanglin Branch, he was already a second-level pulse student at that time, you are only a pulse disciple level, so naturally you are not an opponent. ”

"Oh, I see. When Li Haotian heard that the other party already had a pulse ring and could use the pulse technique, he also gave up the idea of planning to fight it, after all, there was too much difference. Whether the pulse ring is opened or not is a qualitative gap.

"The second place is Nan Xianghou. ”

"Nan Xiang Hou?" Li Haotian vaguely felt that he had heard of this name, by the way, that is, when "himself" was seriously injured, it was rumored in the palace that the patriarch of the royal family wanted to make Nan Xiang Hou the new prince. "Li Haoyun. ”

Li Haotian said three words, and the wind knife was slightly startled, but immediately returned to his normal expression. "Yes, that's him. He is two years older than you, and when he took the competition last year, he was already a level 10 pulse disciple. ”

"Ahh He was a pulse disciple level 10 last year, wouldn't he have successfully started the pulse this year and become a pulse student? Besides, this is only the top two, maybe there are many opponents who are equal to or slightly inferior to the level of the prince at that time, and their strength is above him at this time.

"There are still a few other people, and the pulse level is between the seventh and ninth levels of the pulse disciple. Wind Knife sneered.

"In this way, even if I cultivate to the eighth level of the pulse disciple, I still won't be able to enter the top three like last year. Li Haotian was a little disappointed, with his original intention of secretly discussing with the racket, he wanted to accumulate some cultivation experience by participating in such a competition. However, this time it is so important that it seems that the emperor wants to let himself hang up the exemption card because he is unwell.

"Not necessarily. Wind Knife said suddenly.

"Teacher, there is still a good way?" Li Haotian was overjoyed.

"The first place last time, who is fifteen years old this year, is disqualified from participating in the competition. Although Nan Xianghou was already a pulse disciple level 10 last year, he has not gone further in the past year, and he is still a pulse disciple level 10 at present. Last year, the crown prince was defeated by the prince of the Tanglin branch and ranked third. In terms of strength, the prince was on par with Nanxiang Hou at that time. If you can cultivate to the eighth level of the pulse disciple, you may be able to use the pulse talisman, and then you may be able to win the championship by surprise. Because your biggest enemy at the moment is this Nanxiang Hou. ”

Li Haotian naturally knew what the pulse talisman was, and it was recorded in the essay. The vein charm is different from the vein, the vein is based on the gangue stone, which can be used many times, and after the gangue vein qi is consumed, it can be replaced with a new gangue stone. The pulse talisman is a disposable item, which is condensed into a talisman by a high-level pulse cultivator with his own pulse qi. Both the pulse and the pulse charm require pulse qi, but the pulse urging device needs to have the same attributes as the pulse skill imitated by the pulse tool, and the requirements for pulse qi are higher, at least after having a pulse ring, it can only be used. The pulse charm does not have these requirements, only a small amount of pulse qi is required to urge, but both are divided into levels, and they can hardly be used beyond the level.

If you cultivate to level eight, you can only use the beginner-level pulse talisman, and it is estimated that you can only use it once in a game. If you force it to be used a second time, you don't have to be knocked down by the opponent, and the consumed pulse energy will not be able to stand it.

"At this time, there are only three months before the competition, and it is extremely difficult to move up two levels in such a short period of time. If you want to give it a try, you need to be mentally prepared. ”

"Try, you have to try. The racket said to Li Haotian at this time: "Although it is a little difficult, it is not what he imagined." Besides, the emperor will engage in some precious medicinal materials to help, of course, the most important factor is that you have Lao Tzu and my guidance. ”

Li Haotian also had this plan, so he hugged his fists respectfully to Fengdao and said: "My father expects that the teacher will support you, and the disciple will work hard and fight hard." ”

"Good. There was a hint of joy on Fengdao's face, this fake prince was far stronger than he thought. As for whether he could get level eight within three months, it was not up to him to decide.

However, the training arranged by the wind knife was more difficult than Li Haotian imagined, but after half a day, his tired legs couldn't be lifted.

In the evening, the queen personally sent a medicine that was very helpful for improving the pulse, and Li Haotian naturally took it without hesitation. After entering the abdomen, the magic medicine turns into a warm current. It's just that the warm current is a little chaotic. At this time, the guidance of the racket played a decisive role, and under its guidance, almost all of the medicinal power of the magic medicine was absorbed by Li Haotian, and it was already excellent for ordinary people to absorb three or four percent.

And the original morning class was also temporarily canceled by Emperor Zhenyu. However, Li Haotian still took the time to study the introductory style of the vein, and really found a large number of tools, and developed them in a hurry.

More than ten days have passed, of course, there is no effect, but the primary vein stone has been consumed a lot. The veins of those gangue stones, of course, were absorbed by the racket. At the same time, it also basically mastered the production method of the Chong Fist pulse device, and even after asking Li Haotian about the detailed exercises of the pulse fist, it also improved the drawings in the book. Now it's just a matter of whether Li Haotian can make it according to the law, or let the master make it according to this drawing.

So every day was spent so nervously, and even the four palace maids of hearts, spades, red apricots, and cherries no longer attracted Li Haotian's attention. His mind was completely focused on cultivation.

Ten days later, however, the effects came in. When he woke up one morning, he felt a sudden feeling of transparency in some parts of his body. He had had this feeling before, and it was the feeling when the pulse level was raised.
