Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Nangong Huaxue originally wanted to wait while reading a book on the bed, but as she waited, her eyelids became heavier, so she simply closed her eyes and fell asleep. She didn't know how long had passed when the door of the room rang and she opened her eyes in a daze.

"Don't put the book on your face." Wang Ji took the book down and placed it on the bedside, then gently stroked her cheek.

Nangong Huaxue responded dazedly and took his wrist: "Aren't you going to rest here?"

"...Here." Wang Ji's eyes dimmed, and he leaned over and kissed her forehead, "Go to sleep, I won't leave today."

Nangong Huaxue murmured and closed her eyes.

The next day.

Wang Ji looked at the man who was looking up and around, his eyes dark.

He remembered his name, Qingyi.

Wang Ji narrowed his eyes, thinking of something, his eyes looked a little subtle.

Nangong Huaxue coughed twice, scratched his head, and wanted to introduce him to him, but didn't know how to start.

"Where is this?"

It was Qingyi who spoke first. He crossed his arms leisurely, and scanned the hall with his eyes, which finally stopped on Wang Ji.

"... Main hall." Nangong Huaxue looked at him.

"Over there?" Qingyi pointed in another direction.

"...Front Hall."

"Where?"

"Dipu Garden - Okay, let's not dwell on this issue -"

"What about over there?" Qingyi ignored him.

Nangong Huaxue: ...

"Lingyun Pavilion." Wang Ji answered for her, "Who are you?"

Qingyi looked at him slowly, his pale pupils almost blending into the whites of his eyes, making it impossible to tell where he was looking.

"Hello." Qingyi suddenly smiled.

Nangong Huaxue had a bad feeling.

"I'm her ex-husband."

Qingyi smiled and stretched out her hand, calmly and calmly uttering these shocking words.

Nangong Huaxue doubted her ears for a moment.

"What did you say?!" Before Wang Ji could react, Nangong Huaxue grabbed his robe and pulled it aside, looking at him in disbelief.

"what are you saying?"

"I'm talking nonsense." Qingyi looked relaxed and even explained to her.

Nangong Huaxue: ...

"Did you take the wrong medicine?" Nangong Huaxue had long suspected that one day the Gu would backfire and damage his brain, but he didn't expect that this day would come at such an inopportune time.

Qing Yi rolled his eyes, touched his sleeves, and his expression faded: "Didn't you know that night?"

Nangong Huaxue was stunned, and followed his gaze to look at Wang Ji. Wang Ji's brows relaxed slightly, and his eyes were cold as he looked at him.

The atmosphere was somewhat condensed.

Nangong Huaxue opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously.

"His Majesty……"

Fortunately, there was a sound outside the door, and the Medical Saint who had been in charge of Wang Ji's health slowly walked in after receiving the order.

When Wang Ji saw the Medical Saint, he roughly knew what was going on and frowned calmly.

Nangong Huaxue felt relieved and introduced the Medical Saint to Qingyi: "This is Shan Qiushi, the Medical Saint. He——"

"I've heard of it." Qingyi interrupted, raised his eyelids and looked at him without any expression.

Shan Qiushi entered the Chen realm at the age of fifty, reached the Xuan realm at the age of one hundred, and now he is over four hundred years old. He has reached the upper level of the Di realm and is good at herbal elixirs.

"I already know what your Majesty means, but may I know your name?" Facing the cold attitude of Qingyi, Shan Qiushi was not dissatisfied, but asked slowly.

"Qingyi." Qingyi glanced at him and his tone became lighter.

"Qing Yi?" Unexpectedly, Shan Qiushi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "What a coincidence, I once read a book, the author's name was Qing Yi, I didn't expect to have the same name."

"What book?" Nangong Huaxue asked curiously without waiting for Qingyi to respond.

"I got it from an auction house by accident. It should be an ancient book. The text inside is different from today's. I haven't studied it thoroughly yet, but I can get a general idea." Speaking of this, Shan Qiushi was very interested. "It's about a thing called Gu--"

Qingyi suddenly coughed twice and sat down opposite Wang Ji.

The couch was low and flat, leaving enough space for someone to lie directly on it, so Qingyi leaned back lazily, almost in a half-lying position.

"Don't you think there's anything wrong?" Qingyi couldn't help but ask her.

"What's wrong?" Nangong Huaxue was puzzled.

Qing Yi was looking at her and sneered for a while: "Nothing, let's talk about business."

"What's wrong with that?" Nangong Huaxue insisted.

Qing Yi glanced at her, seeming a little helpless: "The palace is so big... I heard that he is coming too, are you sure...?"

Before Qing Yi finished speaking, Nangong Huaxue had already understood.

Nangong Huaxue: ...

Nangong Huaxue frowned and thought, then he suddenly smiled, laughed twice and said something to the communication ring.

"Your Majesty...what's the matter?" Shan Qiushi wanted to ask more.

"Nothing." Nangong Huaxue waved her hand.

At this time, Wang Ji, who had been watching for a long time, spoke up: "Your Majesty, do you want to help me find a doctor?"

Wang Ji looked at her with a smile. His smile was perfect and his emotions could not be seen at all.

But Nangong Huaxue felt a chill.

"Isn't it possible?" She looked at him.

"Of course." Wang Ji tapped his fingers lightly, "Since it is your majesty's wish, I certainly have no objection."

Having said that, Nangong Huaxue felt that if he put a basin of water on his face at this moment, it would probably freeze.

But since he said so, Nangong Huaxue chose to ignore the chill, said a few more polite words and let the two begin.

"Which school did you learn from?" Shan Qiushi asked, perhaps because he saw Qingyi's young face.

Qingyi glanced at him and said, "Self-study."

Seeing his cold attitude, Shan Qiushi tactfully said nothing more.

Perhaps because he was angry, Wang Ji would utter a few choking words from time to time in response to Qingyi's questions. Although they were harmless, they were uncomfortable to hear.

Shan Qiushi frowned as he listened, clearly displeased with his unwillingness to cooperate. Qingyi, on the other hand, looked normal, without any discomfort.

"Wang Ji." Nangong Huaxue finally spoke, frowning at him, "Be honest."

Wang Ji glanced at her lazily, still looking unhappy, but restraining himself.

"Have you been suffering from excessive heat in your heart recently, and a burning sensation in your internal organs?" Qing Yi asked, looking at the color of his lips.

"...Yes." Wang Ji glanced at Nangong Huaxue and saw that she was staring at him with a frown, so he answered honestly.

Shan Qiushi told Qingyi everything about Wang Ji's situation. Qingyi lowered her head and wrote something on a piece of paper. She didn't react much after listening.

Wang Ji's eyes moved slightly and fell on the paper.

Similar to the texts in the ruins.

Wang Ji still remembered that more than ten years ago, when the mountains suddenly appeared, various empires sent people to the mountains to investigate, but they did not gain much. Among the items brought back by the people sent by Yuhua were several books, and the text on them should be the same as the one Qingyi is using now.

Wang Ji's mind moved.

"you--"

"Your Majesty, people are here."

There was a sound outside the hall. As Nangong Huaxue nodded, a man in a dark gold robe walked in. His black pupils moved, as if he was judging the current situation.

Owl...

Wang Ji curled his fingers slightly and looked at him calmly.

Previously, visibility was poor at night and there were not many opportunities to observe, but now the sun was shining brightly and his whole body was bathed in light, making everything exceptionally clear.

It must be said that the face alone was enough to attract attention. She had a beautiful face and gentle features, but she had a cold aura that wiped out all the natural softness on her face, as if her whole body was covered with invisible ice thorns.

The man said a few words to the emperor and turned his gaze.

Wang Ji met his sharp eyes and smiled slightly, not afraid.

The man looked at him and spoke.

"Did you send someone to assassinate me yesterday?"

Nangong Huaxue never expected that Qin Xiao's question would be so direct.

What she didn't expect was that Wang Ji was just stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

"Yes."

His tone was even lighthearted.

Nangong Huaxue: ...

Facing Nangong Huaxue's surprised eyes, Wang Ji smiled and explained: "Be honest."

Nangong Huaxue: ...

She always felt that he was venting his dissatisfaction.

Qin Xiao was not surprised by his answer. Apart from Qingyi who was watching the fun, the only outsider, Shan Qiushi, the Medical Saint, looked at this and that, then looked at the emperor's bad expression, and decided to withdraw first.

Although he was obsessed with medicine, he still knew basic sense of smell.

So Shan Yisheng stood up and said goodbye without hesitation.

Seeing that Qingyi did not react, Nangong Huaxue nodded in agreement.

Before leaving, Shan Qiushi glanced at what Qingyi wrote out of curiosity. Suddenly, he frowned and looked at him with fear, but said nothing.

After the Medical Saint left, Wang Ji looked at Qing Yi and continued with the question: "You wrote that book, right?"

Qingyi looked up at him, met his smiling face, was silent for a moment, ignored him, lowered her head and continued writing something.

Seeing that Wang Ji ignored him, Qin Xiao did not feel embarrassed. He sat next to Qingyi and looked at what Qingyi wrote from time to time.

There were no outsiders in the hall, so Nangong Huaxue came over and sat next to Wang Ji naturally, looking at the paper with her head half tilted.

"...Tsk." Qingyi suddenly frowned, with a complicated expression.

"What's wrong?" Nangong Huaxue thought something was wrong and asked hurriedly.

Qingyi raised her head, glanced at Wang Ji, then looked at her, and said faintly: "It should be less."

Nangong Huaxue didn't react for a moment: "What's missing?"

"Money." Qin Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Nangong Huaxue: ...

Nangong Huaxue was speechless and couldn't help but stroke his forehead.

“How much do you want to add?”

"Two hundred million." Qing Yi said lightly.

Nangong Huaxue slammed the table: "Why don't you go and grab it?!"

"Heh..." Qing Yi slowly raised his eyes and revealed an inexplicable smile, "Robbing anything is as quick as making money this way."

Nangong Huaxue: ...

"you--"

"You don't understand me." Qingyi lowered his head, finished the last word, and put down the pen, "What I am best at is raising the price."

Nangong Huaxue: ...

Nangong Huaxue looked at Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao slowly looked away, seeming helpless.

"So...you mean it can be cured?" Wang Ji suddenly spoke.

"Of course." Qingyi looked up at him with a cold expression, "The tendons and veins are torn, the yin is weak and the yang is strong... Although it's a bit troublesome, it's possible."

"I can pay the money, but you have to prove that you have the ability first." Wang Ji looked at him with a smile.

"No." Qing Yi glanced at him calmly, "She is the one who entrusted me. I won't take your money."

Wang Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Nangong Huaxue.

Nangong Huaxue was also slightly stunned when listening to the conversation between the two: "Can it be cured?"

"Of course." Qing Yi seemed to be getting impatient. "His problem now is that he has been suppressing his cultivation, and the Qi in his body is constantly expanding. Normally, he would just take a chance and break through to the Heaven Realm, but his meridians can't stand this kind of torture. Once he breaks through, his body will explode and he will die."

"Am I right?" Qing Yi looked at Wang Ji, "That's why the doctor just now suggested that you find the blood essence of a million-year-old monster to reshape your meridians."

"Yes." Wang Ji smiled, "but it has not been found yet. Do you have any way?"

Nangong Huaxue also remembered at this time that Wang Ji was indeed looking for a million-year-old monster, but at that time she only thought it was for a breakthrough. After hearing what they said, she turned her attention to Qingyi.

"No need to go through so much trouble." Qing Yi said, "I have a simpler method with lower risks, but your cultivation level cannot be preserved."

"That won't work." Wang Ji said without hesitation, "I won't accept it."

Qingyi stopped talking and just looked at him.

Wang Ji looked at him and did not back down.

"Millions of years?" Qin Xiao suddenly spoke, looking at the two of them, then at Qing Yi, "Hasn't Qiongqi lived for millions of years?"

"To be precise, it's tens of millions of years." Qing Yi looked at him, "If I remember correctly, the difference between him and Mo Ze is only several million years."

Nangong Huaxue: "...How can we not use "just" here?"

Qing Yi ignored him and said, "But Taotie only has a million years."

“But he may not agree, right?” Nangong Huaxue rubbed her hair, “It seems that he has to give it voluntarily…”

"Just find someone to beat him up and he'll be willing." Qing Yi didn't think this was a problem.

Wang Ji: …

Nangong Huaxue: ...

"You can't do this..." Qin Xiao rubbed his brows, "It's a bit too much."

"Too much?" Qing Yi sneered and looked at him coldly, "You are too soft. It is the law of the jungle. He has not survived until now by reasoning."

Qin Xiao seemed to have thought of something and fell silent.

"From what you said, is there anyone who can suppress that magical beast called... Taotie Qiongqi?" Wang Ji tapped the table with his fingers irregularly, as if thinking about something.

"To be precise, he is not a human." Qing Yi looked at him, "Do you believe in God?"

"I don't believe in God." Wang Ji shook his head.

Qing Yi looked at him for a while, then turned his head back: "Then you can think it is another magical beast."

Nangong Huaxue: ...

Don't you try to convince him?

"What a waste of words." Qingyi seemed to see what she was thinking and said lightly.

Nangong Huaxue: ...

"From what you heard, do you all believe it?" How could Wang Ji not see Nangong Huaxue's thoughts? He glanced at the few people.

Qin Xiao and Qing Yi didn't say anything. Nangong Huaxue coughed twice, touched the tip of his nose, and whispered, "We've dealt with each other... twice."

"Because why?" Wang Ji was looking at her.

Nangong Huaxue remained silent, slowly stroking her forehead and avoiding her own conflicted gaze.

"Stretch out your hand." Qingyi suddenly spoke.

Wang Ji looked at Nangong Huaxue, stretched out his hand towards Qingyi, and revealed his white wrist.

Qingyi placed her fingers on it. A trace of cold air flowed out from her fingertips, seeping under her skin and wandering through her limbs and bones.

Wang Ji frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, but did not resist.

There was silence all around, and no one spoke.

Finally, Qin Xiao retracted his helpless gaze and sighed: "Let's talk about our business."

Wang Ji retracted his gaze and looked at him. After a moment, he smiled slowly: "Okay."
