"Considering you still show so sense, I won’t punish you this ti," Jia Kangshi said coldly. "However, if you dare defy my orders again, I will be ruthless."
Shi Hao replied nonchalantly, "I’m only helping you select raw stones, not acting as your servant, so don’t think you can order around."
How dare you talk back?
Jia Kangshi glared at Shi Hao, but rembering Shi Hao’s importance, he forcefully suppressed his murderous intent and said, "Alright, you can move freely in the Imperial Capital, but you must not leave the city."
"Fine." Shi Hao agreed.
Jia Kangshi disdained speaking further with soone like Shi Hao and turned to leave.
In fact, it already irked him imnsely to have to negotiate with soone like Shi Hao, a dignified prince that he was.
When your usefulness ends, so does your ti alive.
Shi Hao continued to pick raw stones. High-value raw stones were abundant, but finding Immortal Elixirs at the Jade Immortal level was almost impossible.
Five days passed, and Shi Hao hadn’t found a single one — he wasn’t deliberately hiding them.
Jia Kangshi ca again, and upon learning the situation, he snorted, "Useless! Father’s grand birthday is in only two months. I demand you complete your task three days before the event, or I will have your head!"
He actually made two plans, not placing all hope on Shi Hao. After all, achieving a Jade Immortal level elixir was as hard as ascending the heavens, let alone ten of them.
However, if Shi Hao succeeded, he would amaze everyone at the grand birthday, earning special favor from his father.
What a callous and selfish person!
Shi Hao rely smiled indifferently, "The raw stones you provided aren’t good enough; they simply don’t contain Jade Immortal level elixirs. What can I do?"
"I don’t care. If you don’t find one, there’s only a dead end for you!" Jia Kangshi was unreasonable and overbearing.
Shi Hao forcefully suppressed the urge not to slap him to death on the spot.
Now he could endlessly obtain the finest raw stones, amassing significant gains daily, so Jia Kangshi still had so use, and it wouldn’t be wise to kill him off too soon.
"If you lower your expectations, just aim to unearth one Jade Immortal level elixir plus nine Golden Immortal dicines, that might be feasible," Shi Hao comnted.
Jia Kangshi also understood that his demands were excessive. He snorted, "Alright, if you can do that, I’ll spare your life! If you can unearth another Jade Immortal level elixir, I’ll give you a reward."
Shi Hao didn’t believe it. This person had threatened to kill him multiple tis; could a dog really stop eating shit?
No matter, what he wanted was rely the raw stones of superior quality from the other side anyway.
The cooperative relationship between the two was maintained as days passed, and Shi Hao’s yield grew increasingly substantial.
Unbeknownst to him, his cultivation had reached the brink of the third star.
Breakthrough!
Without hesitation, Shi Hao charged towards the fourth star.
Breaking through the shackles, he ascended to a higher level, mastering more bronze rules. Now, he had completed the Immortal Gold Transformation of his skin, and from the third star, he had started refining his muscles.
Once his fourth-star cultivation was complete, his muscles would also achieve the Bronze Immortal Gold Transformation, and with the Nine Deaths Divine Technique, his defense would be truly of Immortal Gold level.
Two days later, Shi Hao stabilized his realm and continued selecting raw stones.
Unnoticed, ti had approached the tenth day before the grand birthday.
"How is it going?" Jia Kangshi ca to inquire about the progress again.
"Nine Golden Immortal dicines have already been chosen," Shi Hao pointed to nine raw stones he had long prepared.
Jia Kangshi casually picked one and handed it to a person behind him, "Open it."
Soon, the raw stone was opened, and it indeed contained an elixir, a Golden Level one at that.
Jia Kangshi looked satisfied. The raw stone he randomly chose contained a Golden Immortal dicine, proving Shi Hao wasn’t lying.
"Very good, but you still owe one Jade Immortal level," he stated.
Shi Hao nodded, "I have so clues. It’s likely to be in these five raw stones, one of which could potentially yield a Jade Immortal elixir."
He pointed to another set of five raw stones.
He was naturally talking nonsense, but because of the previous verified findings, Jia Kangshi believed him very much. Besides, he dared not let anyone open the stones, since there was only one, how would he present his gift then?
At this mont, he naturally could only trust Shi Hao, believing Shi Hao wouldn’t dare deceive him to save his own life.
"Seven days left, be wise," he said as he left briskly.
Shi Hao smiled, stored away the eight raw stones that could yield Golden Immortal dicines, and chose eight similar ones in appearance to replace them.
Seven days passed, and Shi Hao prepared all ten raw stones.
Jia Kangshi personally ca and took the raw stones.
Before leaving, he turned to Shi Hao and said, "You should know your life is in my hands!"
Shi Hao just gave a faint smile.
"So, don’t you dare play any tricks, or you’ll die without a grave!" Jia Kangshi threatened once more.
Seeing Shi Hao’s unchanged expression, Jia Kangshi nodded and finally left.
"Let’s go watch the show." Shi Hao entered the Immortal Abode, directly controlling it to fly, and left the house.
——Jia Kangshi specially stationed his Path Protector here to keep an eye on Shi Hao, trusting that with the Silver Spirit Immortal’s presence, Shi Hao couldn’t possibly escape unnoticed.
However, because of his arrogance, he didn’t bother to dig into Shi Hao’s background, not even caring to know his true identity, missing out on crucial information.
Shi Hao possessed the Immortal Abode!
Thus, he left without a trace, casually changing his appearance, and infiltrated the Imperial Palace.
Since he was already in the Imperial City, without needing any identity verification, he could move around boldly.
At this ti, the entire Imperial City was bustling with excitent.
A Jade Immortal’s ten-thousand-year grand birthday, and especially a semi-milestone of fifty thousand years, naturally commanded imnse attention.
Not only did all subordinate forces under the Mirror Lake Country send prominent figures to offer congratulations, but many other Jade Immortal forces also sent representatives to pay their respects, giving the Emperor imnse face.
Jia Baiji, only fifty thousand-year-old Jade Immortal, reportedly had cultivated to the seventh star, with an incredibly bright future, possibly achieving the Immortal King stature within his lifeti.
As Shi Hao lacked status, he could only wander on the sidelines, watching casually.
No problem, he was rely waiting for the gift-giving segnt, eager to see Jia Kangshi’s expression at that mont.
Here, the hierarchy was strict.
Currently, the main seat remained empty, as the protagonist had not yet made their appearance, while the areas closest to the main seat were reserved for princes, princesses, important ministers of the Imperial Country, and representatives from other Jade Immortal forces.
Beyond that were the Golden Level subordinate forces under the Mirror Lake Country, followed by the Silver Spirit Immortal forces and then the Bronze Immortal forces. Naturally, the numbers increased drastically as you moved further, with tables numbered in the tens of thousands.
The strength of the Mirror Lake Country was evident.
