"By the way, Tang Yi, you should be close to a breakthrough, right?" Elder Bai, who was traveling with them, suddenly asked.
"Yes." Tang Yi nodded. "I can already sense the boundary between Return to Origin and the Seeking the Way Realm. I came to Jiuyao City to use the coffee in the boss's store to increase my chances of breaking through."
"Oh? Didn't you say yesterday that you came to Jiuyao City to report on your work?" Ji Wuhui cast him a half-smiling look.
"Uh, well..." Tang Yi's expression immediately turned awkward. After racking his brains for a while, he said, "I did come to report on my work, and also to seek a breakthrough while I was at it..."
Seeing Tang Yi like this, Ji Wuhui burst into laughter and gave his shoulder a heavy pat. "How confident are you?"
Tang Yi breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, then his expression grew much more serious. "Forty percent."
"Not even a fifty-fifty chance." Ji Wuhui frowned.
"Your Majesty, advancing from Return to Origin to Seeking the Way is very difficult," Elder Bai reminded him.
"Of course I know that." Ji Wuhui nodded. After thinking for a moment, he quickly made a decision. "How about this? Later, I'll buy you the ten-thousand-Spirit-Crystal version."
"Your Majesty, this..." Tang Yi's eyes immediately widened.
Ten thousand Spirit Crystals was no small sum, at least not to him. Besides, the Tianxing Empire was currently preparing for that plan, and the Spirit Crystals it would consume were surely an astronomical amount.
"I can still afford ten thousand Spirit Crystals." Ji Wuhui smiled and waved a hand. "If it can give the Tianxing Empire another Seeking the Way cultivator, even a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals would be worth it."
Tang Yi took a deep breath and
