Zhao Shibo really knew how to pick things up and put them down. As soon as he entered the secret room, he laughed heartily, standing at the entrance, his hands clasped in a fist salute, then bowing towards Qi Tian and Gao Jinmei, he said in a clear voice, “Master Qi, Master Gao, I’m truly sorry. I, the prince, have been obtuse, unaware of the extraordinary methods of you two, leading to some foolish acts and causing you discomfort. This is my fault, and here I wish to apologize to both of you.”

Gao Jinmei snorted coldly. With his temperament, had he not signed a Servant Pact with Qi Tian, he would have already killed Zhao Shibo for daring to offend him. However, for now, he could only express his dissatisfaction through this gesture.

Qi Tian knew when to stop while ahead. Seeing Zhao Shibo had gone to such lengths, he acknowledged it wasn’t easy. They couldn’t expect Zhao Shibo, a prince, to kneel and apologize to them, especially not in Eastern Capital City, his very doorstep. Qi Tian hurriedly stepped forward, imitating Zhao Shibo’s gesture, and bowing to the prince, he said, “Prince, by acting this way, you are indeed overwhelming us. We hold no grudges against you. It’s just that we felt a bit uncomfortable being doubted despite our good intentions. These are all trifles, blown away by the slightest breeze. We didn’t expect to alarm you, for which we truly apologize.”

Zhao Shibo had initially worried that Qi Tian might be difficult to deal with, but upon seeing Qi Tian’s prompt acceptance of his olive branch, his slight worry vanished instantly. Laughing, he said, “You’re right. These small misunderstands between us are all trivial, disappearing with a gust of wind. We should look forward together, right?”

Qi Tian replied, “Prince, those who live in high places should be generous, and those who are knowledgeable should be humble. How could I not agree?”

The two exchanged smiles, and it seemed that all barriers between them had dissipated with their laughter.

Zhao Shibo then said, “Actually, I have another presumptuous request. I’ve heard from my daughter that Master Qi and Master Gao, working together, can help stimulate her potential and increase her chances of advancing to the Gold Core Realm. This is a marvelous technique I’ve never even heard of, and upon hearing it, I’ve greatly desired it. I consider myself well-experienced in various extraordinary techniques, but this is the first time I’ve heard of such a thing, so I hope Master Qi can give me a chance to observe from the sidelines while you stimulate my daughter’s potential? Masters Qi and Gao, don’t worry. I promise that during your ritual, I will stay silent and absolutely refrain from disturbing you.”

On hearing this, Qi Tian showed slight hesitation and said, “Prince, I understand your concern for the princess. However, there are practical issues with you observing from the sidelines. First, when Master Gao and I left our sect to travel, our sect repeatedly instructed us that our techniques must not be carelessly disclosed and shown to others. We cannot lightly defy the sect’s teachings. I hope the prince can understand this.”

Zhao Shibo laughed and said, “Your sect only said that techniques must not be carelessly disclosed, which means they can be shared under certain conditions. Well, I won’t make things difficult for you. If you agree to let me observe from the sidelines, then, in exchange, I can compensate you with 100,000 middle-grade spirit stones. What do you think?”

“This…” Qi Tian scratched his head, looking troubled.

Zhao Shibo understood instantly and quickly upped the offer, “200,000 middle-grade spirit stones.”

Qi Tian saw an opportunity and, sighing, said, “Alright, I feel the sincerity of the prince. So be it, 200,000. I will grant the prince this opportunity to observe.”

Zhao Shibo nodded, understanding that although parting with 200,000 middle-grade spirit stones was somewhat painful for him, for his daughter’s safety and the chance to learn more about Qi Tian and his companion’s capabilities, the expense was worth it. If Qi Tian truly had the skill to awaken someone’s potential and help them ascend to the Gold Core Realm, then spending 200,000 middle-grade spirit stones to gain such knowledge was not too expensive at all. It was, indeed, a valuable opportunity to enhance the strength of his family line.

Qi Tian added, “Prince, there’s one more thing. If we assist the princess in awakening her potential, she will endure immense pain, many times more agonizing than having bones scraped to remove poison. Do you think you can stand by without intervening? Can you bear to watch the princess suffer?”

Zhao Shibo straightforwardly said, “If my daughter cannot ascend to the Gold Core Stage, the suffering she’ll face is not as simple as mere physical pain. To avoid future suffering, enduring some hardship now is trivial in comparison. As long as you two can genuinely help my daughter stimulate her potential and improve her chances of reaching the Gold Core Realm, I can be firm and watch without interfering or stopping you.”

Qi Tian nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, then I have no objections. Prince, let us start the preparations.”

Zhao Shibo knew what Qi Tian meant by preparing. He immediately took out 200,000 middle-grade spirit stones and handed them directly to Qi Tian.
