"Taiyi, haven't you heard of the Boundless Stone? How can you be so sure that it can't save lives? "
Ji Tianxing looked at Taiyi with a playful smile and asked in a cold tone.
Taiyi knew that he had misspoken, so he coughed twice to hide his embarrassment. His gaze was somewhat evasive.
"This … I was just guessing. The Boundless Stone sounds like a gem, not a medicinal ingredient. How can it save lives?"
Ji Tianxing waved his hand and sneered. "Enough, Taiyi. You don't have to put on an act with me. I'm not interested in wasting my time with you.
Tell me, where can I find the Boundless Stone? Does the imperial treasury have it? If so, let's make a deal … "
Taiyi shook his head and explained, "Young Master Ji, the Boundless Stone is a top-tier material even rarer than Illusory Feather Ice Gold. It can be used to refine divine artifacts.
If it's Illusory Feather Ice Gold, the imperial treasury has a few pieces.
But the Boundless Stone is too rare. It's a rare treasure that can't be found or sought.
I'm sorry, but the imperial treasury doesn't have it either! "
Ji Tianxing frowned at his explanation. His gaze turned grave, and his heart filled with disappointment.
"In that case, I won't disturb you any further.
I'll leave with the Divine General after he finishes his discussion with His Majesty the Dragon Emperor. "
Taiyi frowned and thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Then stay here for now. Divine General Donglin and Imperial Father are discussing important matters. They won't be able to reach a conclusion in a day.
I'll help you think of a way to find the Boundless Stone. "
With that, Taiyi bid farewell and left.
Ji Tianxing stayed in the Jadewave Courtyard alone, living in a luxurious and spacious room.
He sat on a bed carved from ice and looked down at the ground. He could see countless oddly shaped fish and coral reefs in the dim light of the ocean floor.
He looked up at the sky and saw layers of 'white clouds' in the azure blue sky. There were also a few mountain-sized dragonwhales and leviathans slowly flying across the sky.
Such a dreamy and illusory world in the water was truly like a fairytale world, mesmerizing and intoxicating.
But he was worried about the Boundless Stone. He couldn't feel happy about it.
A day passed quickly.
Ji Tianxing meditated in his room for an entire day. His mental state and power were restored to their peak.
He no longer used pills and spirit stones to recover his True Essence. Instead, he tried to absorb the energy from the Spiritual Qi Pearl.
The result was beyond his expectations. A white pearl the size of a date pit contained several times more spiritual energy than a spirit stone, and it was even purer.
The next morning, he ended his meditation.
After asking the guards of the Water Tribe, he learned that Xiao Han was still in a meeting with the Golden Dragon Emperor and had yet to decide on how to compensate him.
Not long after, Tai Yi arrived at Jadewave Courtyard, looking for him with a smile.
When the two of them met in the living room, Taiyi said impatiently, "Ji Tianxing, I have already asked around about the Boundless Stone for you.
Although we don't have it in our imperial court's treasury, in the past thousand years, our race's experts have found three pieces of Boundless Stone.
I have a map here that records the location of the Boundless Stone. "
Hearing his words, Ji Tianxing's flame of hope, which was about to be extinguished, was immediately rekindled.
He looked at Taiyi with shining eyes and asked hopefully, "Where can I find it? Where's the map? Can you show it to me? "
Taiyi raised his eyebrows and looked at him expressionlessly. His gaze was a little strange.
Ji Tianxing was stunned. He quickly said, "Taiyi, the Boundless Stone is very important to me.
As long as you tell me where it is, I will remember your favor and give you a satisfactory price. "
Taiyi shook his head and said playfully, "Ji Tianxing, you don't understand me at all.
I don't need your favor, and I don't care what price you offer. I don't care about your meager wealth! "
Ji Tianxing saw the change in Taiyi's attitude. He frowned and asked in a low voice, "Then what do you want?"
Taiyi grinned and said with a cold sneer, "It's very simple. You just need to fight with me!
If you can beat me, I will give you the map and the clue!
If you can't beat me, you have to accept your loss and be my guard for a year! "
Hearing his words, Ji Tianxing immediately sneered, "Haha, you've finally revealed your fox tail? Is this what you want? "
Taiyi didn't deny it. He said expressionlessly, "In the past year, your name has shaken the world. You are known as the first genius of the human race.
Especially after you were taken in as a disciple by God Master Hei Yu. You have become the noblest First Prince in the imperial palace.
However, this Monarch will let you know that this Monarch is fully deserving of the title of First Prince in the Monarch Mansion!
You have reached the ninth level of Sky Origin Stage. Don't tell me you don't even have the courage to fight with me! "
Ji Tianxing understood what he was thinking. His smile became even more playful as he said in a mocking tone, "Hehe, you're jealous because I stole your limelight, so you want to use this opportunity to fight with me to clear your name?"
Taiyi didn't deny it. He felt awkward and embarrassed. He said seriously, "So what? Cultivators in the world work hard to cultivate for fame and fortune, don't they?
I don't do it for profit. I do it for fame. I defeat my opponent with strength. I challenge you fair and square. Is that wrong? "
Ji Tianxing nodded and said in a deep voice, "That's right. At least you said it fair and square. You didn't use dirty tricks to get what you want.
Since you are jealous of my fame and fortune, it has become a sore point in your heart. I will do as you wish. I will fight with you!
Remember what you said just now. You have to accept your loss! "
The cultivation of martial arts was to be free and unhindered, to do as one pleased.
Especially for martial arts geniuses. Once there was a knot in one's heart that could not be untied, it would become a shackle that would affect one's cultivation.
In the past year, Taiyi had witnessed Ji Tianxing's rapid rise in the imperial palace. His strength was on par with Taiyi's, and his fame had overshadowed Taiyi's.
A knot had formed in Taiyi's heart. He couldn't get rid of it. He had been holding it in and couldn't concentrate.
Because of this, he had been stuck in the half-step Soul Refining Stage for a long time.
He knew that Ji Tianxing was looking for the Boundless Stone. He wanted to use this opportunity to force Ji Tianxing to fight with him.
No matter if he won or lost, at least he would be able to resolve this knot in his heart.
This would be of great benefit to his martial arts cultivation.
Now that Ji Tianxing had accepted his challenge, he heaved a sigh of relief.
His face was full of smiles. He shouted excitedly, "Good! Ji Tianxing, you are really straightforward. I thank you for your help!
