Ji Chan practiced in the morning and went to the general association in the afternoon to deal with affairs, and Ding Kui had inquired about this rule clearly.

Ascending to the third floor of the Magician General Assembly Building, Ji Chan, dressed in a white magician robe and with three gold trimes on his cuffs, was already standing at the door of his room waiting.

"Oh, it's really my brother Ding Xian, come here for my brother. Ji Chan turned his head and said to the attendant, "You go back to the house immediately, and let the housekeeper arrange the most solemn banquet, my brother must be entertained well when he comes." ”

"Hahaha, Brother Ji, I want to kill my little brother. Ding Kui stepped forward and gave Ji Chan a hug.

"Come, come, come. Ji Chan led Ding Kui and Ao Yu into his room, "You are free to do this for your brother, and you can't do without the strong help of your brother today." ”

"Little brother, don't mention this little bit of effort, the eldest brother is not yet thirty this year, tsk, he is already a tower magician, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is amazing. Ding Kui followed Ji Chan's eyes and saw Ao Yu, "Ah, this is my friend of the same sect, Ding Yu, the peak of the samurai." ”

Ji Chan returned the jade pendant to Ding Kui and said with a smile: "Your friend from the same sect is amazing, much younger than me, and he is still the strength of the peak of the fifth level." This time, if you go to Luojing City, you will let go of anything first, so that your brother will do your best to be a landlord. ”

Ding Kui untied the box on his back, put it on Ji Chan's table, and said, "This time I ran out without telling my family, so I wanted to travel around and increase my knowledge." Since he arrived in the Guyuan Empire, of course, he wanted to come to meet the eldest brother, and this little gift asked the eldest brother not to laugh, and the right was to congratulate the eldest brother on his ascension to the throne of the prince. ”

"Brother Xian is too polite, what kind of gifts do you bring with you when you come all the way? Ji Chan opened the wooden box.

In this world, gift-giving represents the heart, and the person who receives the gift opens it in person to represent the impatience to feel the heart, as a sign of respect for the giver.

In addition to the skin of the "Bath Flame Storm" in the wooden box, there are also ten fire-based fifth-level demon cores, which were taken out of the family foundation left by Tai Shugong to Ding Kui, which is not light. With Ding Kui's current financial resources, it is normal to take out such a gift, and it is a bit expensive for an ordinary marquis.

Looking at the things in the wooden box, Ji Chan's eyes froze, "Brother Xian, do you know what your brother's next trip is?" ”

"What is the next trip of the eldest brother? What do you mean by this? The younger brother just came here, and he doesn't even know where the door of your house is open, aren't these suitable for fire magicians?" Ding Kui was a little confused.

"It's suitable, it's so suitable, Brother Xian's family is quite thick, I remember this friendship brother. Ji Chan patted the wooden box and put it into the space ring, his face was much more relaxed, and he glanced at Ao Yu a few times as he spoke, "There is another coincidence here, maybe I will trouble Brother Xian again." ”

From Ji Chan's expression and words just now, Ding Kui found out that there was a secret, his eldest brother had a confidential itinerary, but it seemed that there was no need to keep it secret from him.

"Don't talk about trouble, where you need a little brother, the big brother said, I don't know when I will come to Luojing City next time, and I won't have a chance to help the big brother in the future." Ding Kui believed that Ji Chan would not let him help in vain.

These children of the royal family, who do not engage in politics, cherish their feathers very much, attach great importance to matters related to their reputation, and are the most basic moral character of being trustworthy and repaying kindness.

"Well, let's talk about that when we go home, it's not very convenient here. Ji Chan's eyes were "you know".

Ding Kui could tell that it was Ji Chan's private matter, and it had nothing to do with the Magician Association, so he chatted about other things very cooperatively, "You weren't a late-stage staff magician more than two years ago, how did you break the bottleneck of the fifth level? ”

Magicians and knights also have to face the bottleneck between the ninth and tenth meridians, and how to break through this bottleneck has the effect of learning from each other.

"This question happens to be related to the previous one, and I'll tell you all about it when I go back. Ji Chan's face froze. A little embarrassed to say.

Ouch, it's a little interesting, Ji Chan's secret is related to breaking through the bottleneck, so you must not miss it, and if you are not careful, it will help me break through the bottleneck.

Ding Kui became more and more interested in Ji Chan's secrets.

After chatting with Ding Kui for a while, Ji Chan arranged for a trainee magician to take Ding Kui and Ao Yu to visit the magician association of the Guyuan Empire. He took advantage of this time to deal with the more urgent matters at hand, so that he could go back to his prince's mansion with Ding Kui as soon as possible.

The strength of the Gu Yuan Empire is far superior to that of the Shaodian Kingdom, and the magician headquarters built is also much more majestic, around the magic tower in the middle is surrounded by five building complexes, divided into five major systems: water, fire, earth, air, and miscellaneous. In Ding Kui's view, there is a bit of a Pentagon flavor.

Ji Chan didn't let Ding Kui wait long, and after quickly dealing with the important business, he invited Ding Kui and Ao Yu to get into his carriage together and return to his Nanping Demon Prince's Mansion. Obviously, this private matter is very important to Ji Chan, and the role that Ding Kui can play will not be small, otherwise he would not be so eager.

The Nanping Demon Prince's Mansion is the largest mansion that Ding Kui has ever visited, ten times larger than the Anguo Mansion, with all kinds of pavilions and pavilions, and there are four or five large and small gardens.

"Did the eldest brother marry his sister-in-law?" Ding Kui suddenly remembered that he had ignored this problem and had not prepared a gift.

"Hehe, brother Xian, this time I will point to you to help my brother marry your sister-in-law back. Ji Chan motioned to the guards to clear out the idle people present.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

"Have you ever heard of the 'Ice and Snow Shrine'?"

"Nope. Ding Kui shook his head.

Ji Chan took a cup of tea and moistened his throat, and said, "Then I'll start with you from the beginning."

After humans defeated the demons and drove them all to the underworld, they soon fell into a period of mutual conquest and occupation of territory. Two god-level masters were tired of all this, and ran to the Arctic Ice Plain together to live in seclusion, and later began to recruit disciples in order to continue the inheritance and establish the 'Ice and Snow Divine Palace'.

One of the two masters was called the 'Ice God', a martial god, and the other was called the 'Snow God', a Dharma God, so they recruited both knights and magicians. However, the conditions for them to recruit disciples are very strict, and they must be naturally friendly to the water element, preferably the darling of the water element, the son of water.

All disciples who enter the 'Ice and Snow Divine Palace' are not allowed to leave the Arctic Ice Sheet without permission, and only under special circumstances will they come into contact with the outside world, and over time, the world will forget their existence. However, because they need to be passed on from generation to generation of disciples, and they also need some daily necessities, they often contact us and the Tongbei Empire.

Thousands of years have passed, and it is said that the earliest 'Ice God' and 'Snow God' have returned to the Eternal Sanctuary, but whenever a ninth-level powerhouse dies, there will always be a disciple who advances to the ninth-level to take over the position of 'Ice God' or 'Snow God'. The 'Ice and Snow Divine Palace' has always maintained two ninth-level powerhouses, which are not inferior to other great forces of the human race, and can survive in the dangerous Arctic Ice Field.

In addition to recruiting disciples outside, the male and female disciples of the 'Ice and Snow Shrine' will marry and have children with each other, and their descendants will most likely be friendly to the water element. However, there are more female disciples than male disciples, and some female disciples who have no hope of advancing to the seventh level can marry someone outside and leave the 'Ice and Snow Divine Palace', but their children must be sent back to the 'Ice and Snow Divine Palace' if they meet the conditions.

Every time a female disciple marries, the 'Ice and Snow Divine Palace' will notify our country and the royal family of the Tongbei Empire, as well as some disciples of the god-level inheritance. The forces that receive the notice will send their young disciples to the 'Ice and Snow Shrine', hoping that their own children can marry back to the female disciples of the 'Ice and Snow Shrine' and establish a closer relationship with the 'Ice and Snow Shrine'. ”

Hearing this, Ding Kui probably understood something, and said, "This time, another female disciple from the 'Ice and Snow Divine Palace' is married, and the eldest brother is the person sent by the Gu Yuan Empire. ”

"That's right, the female disciple who is going to marry in the 'Ice and Snow Divine Palace' this time is very young, and she has not yet reached the age of twenty-five this year, and she asks all forces to send a child who is no more than thirty years old. Brother Wei is the most suitable candidate for the Ji family, and he has already been to the 'Ice and Snow Shrine' and passed the first level of interview. Ji Chan said with a little pride.

"Wow, you have to interview first, this 'Ice and Snow Divine Palace' is really picky, don't you royal children feel faceless?" Ding Kui was very surprised.

Ji Chan smiled dumbly and said, "No, the 'Ice and Snow Divine Palace' will not let us go to the interview in vain, and will give the interviewee a preferential treatment." There is a cold pool in the 'Ice and Snow Shrine', which is formed by the earth spring water through the chalcedony born of 10,000-year-old ice jade. Cultivating in the cold pool has a miraculous effect on breaking through the bottleneck, whether it is a knight or a magician. I broke through in the cold pool last year. ”

No wonder this kid still laughs, there is such a good place, just let me go to the interview every day.

Ding Kui was envious, and asked a little jealously: "With such a good place, how can the disciples of the 'Ice and Snow Divine Palace' have no hope of advancing to the next level?"

"Hantan is only effective for people below level six, and promotion after level six mainly depends on the understanding of the elements, and this kind of foreign object will not work. Because there are still two people who have broken through in the cold pool like me, the second round of the competition has been postponed to this year, saying that it is for us to stabilize our cultivation. ”

"There's a second round of competition, what's going to be compared?"

"After the female disciples get married, they are no longer the disciples of the 'Ice and Snow Divine Palace', and the 'Ice and Snow Divine Palace' will not continue to protect them, so the husbands they choose must not only have strong strength, but also have extensive contacts, so as to ensure that the female disciples have a stable family.

Therefore, those who pass the interview need to form a five-person team by themselves, and conduct a team competition in pairs, and the person who finally wins the competition can marry a female disciple. Ji Chan said this condition with a helpless face.

"You are a prince, or a deacon of the Magician Association, isn't it easy to form a five-person team? Ding Kui is even more strange.

It shouldn't be a trouble for the Gu Yuan Empire's royal family to find some sixth-level combat power to help a prince, could it be that Ji Chan's opponent can find a seventh- or eighth-level powerhouse to help?
