"Whoosh!"
The stone door to the stone room opened.
Ji Tianxing and Shi Zhongjian followed Ero out of the stone room.
Outside the door was a wide passageway. Dozens of armored Earth Spirit guards stood on both sides of the passageway.
When Ai Luo led the two of them through the passage, the guards bowed to them respectfully.
At the end of the passageway was a huge brown stone door.
Two Gods were carved on the stone door. The door frame was carved with images of Earthcore Fire and surging lava. It looked ancient and mysterious.
Behind the stone door was the royal palace of the Earth Spirit Race.
Ji Tianxing and Shi Zhongjian followed Ai Luo through the giant stone door and entered a spacious hall.
The floor of the hall was dark gold. The walls were inlaid with colorful gems and pearls, making the entire hall look very grand.
Thirty-six silver-armored guards stood on both sides of the hall. There was a wide throne at the head of the hall.
Two Earth Spirit experts were sitting on thrones that were made of pure gold and inlaid with precious stones.
On the left was a middle-aged Earth Spirit man. He had a sturdy body and long brown hair that was tied into eighteen small braids.
He also had a full beard that was tied into dozens of small braids.
Both his hair and beard were tied up with pure gold headbands. There were also many golden rings inlaid with gems.
Although he wasn't wearing a crown, he held a dark gold, mysterious, and ancient hammer in his hand.
Although the hammer looked simple and even crude, it was made of a very special material that contained ancient and powerful power.
It was obviously a powerful magical treasure with extraordinary power.
This middle-aged man who used the golden hammer as a scepter was the king of the Earth Spirit Race, Ero's father, the Gold Mountain King.
The Earth Spirit sitting next to him was a middle-aged woman.
She had a sturdy body and grayish-brown stone skin that were unique to the Earth Spirit Race.
However, she wore a gorgeous golden silk dress and a complicated and expensive jade crown. Her facial features were very distinct, and her eyes were bright.
Ji Tianxing could see that Ai Luo's facial features and appearance were somewhat similar to this woman's.
He knew that this woman was Ayro's mother, the Queen of the Earth Spirit Race, Ida.
Ero led Ji Tianxing and Shi Zhongjian to the center of the hall, then bowed to Jinshan King and Yi Da with a smile.
"Ai Luo pays his respects to Father and Mother!"
Ji Tianxing and Shi Zhongjian also bowed and said sincerely, "Greetings, Jinshan King and Queen Ida."
The Jinshan King smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
Queen Ida was even more excited. She looked at Ero with burning eyes and said excitedly: "Ero, my child, you have finally returned safely!"
As she spoke, she hurriedly got up and walked in front of Ai Luo. She pulled Ai Luo into her embrace and hugged him tightly.
"Child, after you were captured by those bastards from the Spiritual Insects Clan, your Imperial Mother and your Imperial Father were very worried. They even sent three hundred elite warriors to rescue you.
Thank God, you came back safe and sound. Thank God! "
Queen Ida was very gratified, and tears were faintly visible in her eyes.
Ero hurriedly explained: "Imperial Mother, the Spiritual Insects Clan captured me and imprisoned me in the Seven-Colored Forest in their palace.
They wanted to use me as a hostage in exchange for Imperial Father's Gaia Hammer, as well as the armor and weapons they needed.
Fortunately, I met these two distinguished guests. They mistakenly entered the Seven-Colored Forest and were also besieged by the Spiritual Insects Clan.
However, these two distinguished guests were very powerful. They turned the Seven-Colored Forest upside down and killed many Spiritual Insects Clan warriors and elders.
I took advantage of the chaos to escape and was chased by the Spiritual Insects Clan guards, but was rescued by them … "
Ero told the Jinshan King and Yi Da everything that happened before.
After the two heard this, they immediately showed expressions of relief. They looked gratefully at Ji Tianxing and Shi Zhongjian and bowed: "Many thanks to the two distinguished guests for saving our lives!
Ero is our only child and one of the most outstanding geniuses of our Earth Spirit Race. Thank you so much! "
Ji Tianxing and Shi Zhongjian showed a kind smile and reached out to help the Jinshan King and Yi Da up.
Then, the two sides sat down and chatted. Yi Da ordered the maids to bring over exquisite pastries and wine.
The wine was still fine. It was all brewed from flowers and trees. After Ji Tianxing and Shi Zhongjian drank it, they also felt that it was very delicious.
But those exquisite pastries made them not know whether to laugh or cry. They found it hard to eat.
This was because the pastries that the Earth Spirit Race loved to eat were all made of precious gems and metals.
The Earth Spirit Race's physique was special and their teeth were very good. They could eat those gems and metals like humans eating melon seeds and dried fruits.
Ji Tianxing could not do it. He politely declined these pastries and waved his hand to refuse.
Shi Zhongjian was very curious. With the mentality of trying it out, he picked up a piece of tungsten gold and ruby pastry and put it in his mouth.
As a result, with a few crunching sounds, his face turned pale on the spot. He spat out the pastry with a painful expression.
The pastry was intact. There was not even a bite mark left behind. But his mouth was full of blood. Two of his teeth were broken.
Such a miserable and funny scene made Ji Tianxing unable to restrain his laughter. The Jinshan King, Yi Da, and Ai Luo's family also laughed.
Everyone chatted for a while. The atmosphere became more and more harmonious.
Then, the Jinshan King said to Ji Tianxing, "Young Master Ji, thank you and Young Master Shi for saving us. You have done us a great favor.
In order to express my gratitude, this little king will give you a gift and invite you to stay here for a few days. "
After saying that, the Jinshan King waved his hand.
Immediately, two guards walked into the hall. They each carried two gifts and presented them to Ji Tianxing and Shi Zhongjian.
Placed in front of Shi Zhongjian was an egg-sized scarlet gem. It was sparkling and translucent, and contained an incomparably violent flame energy.
Placed in front of Ji Tianxing was an irregular piece of golden ore. It was the size of a fist and shone with specks of golden light.
The Jinshan King introduced with a smile, "This gift for Young Master Shi is an Earth Core Fire Crystal that my clan found in the depths of the earth's core.
Young Master Shi can use it to cultivate and obtain the powerful Earth Core Fire. You can also use it to refine magic treasures.
This gift for Young Master Ji is an ore that my clan has treasured for more than 400 years. It was also found in the depths of the earth's core by an expert of my clan.
My clan is proficient in refining ores and forging weapons and armors. There is almost no ore or metal that we cannot refine.
However, even after spending countless years, our clan's smelting masters were still unable to refine this ore.
We don't know what this ore is made of, nor do we know how to use it.
But this little king believes that this ore is definitely a priceless treasure!
Young Master Ji is a genius from the Middle State. Perhaps you can unravel the secret of this ore and use it reasonably. "
Ai Luo and Shi Zhongjian felt that something was wrong after hearing the Jinshan King's words.
This was clearly an ore that could not be used. They did not know its use and value. It was even worse than the Earth Core Fire Crystal!
Ai Luo was a little embarrassed. He softly persuaded the Jinshan King to change the gift.
Shi Zhongjian took out the Earth Core Fire Crystal without hesitation and handed it to Ji Tianxing. He smiled and said, "Young Master Ji, let's exchange.
This Earth Core Fire Crystal is for you. It will definitely help you increase your flame energy.
I am more interested in new things. Give this ore to me. I will study it slowly. "
Shi Zhongjian was obviously afraid that Ji Tianxing would be at a disadvantage, so he wanted to exchange the gem for his ore.
Ji Tianxing was touched and felt warm in his heart. But he still refused with a smile.
