423: Chapter 423 Not Easy to See Through

"Fine, we were thinking, if it's convenient for Sister Yunshu, we should bring her along too."

"And me, take me along too." Liu Lianmeng said, her face filled with an expectant expression.

Ye Qing looked at her, clearly seeing through her thoughts.

"You all probably want to see what kind of Artifact Spirit Yunshu has become after her Ancestral Return, right? Still a stone."

Ah?!

This single sentence left them stunned, and then their eyes widened in shock. They couldn't believe what they had just heard—still a stone?

What kind of stone?

Wasn't Sister Yunshu a Rain Flower Stone before?

She was a Wasted Artifact Spirit. Could it be that after this Contract, Sister Yunshu didn't undergo an Ancestral Return?

Is she still a Wasted Artifact Spirit?

"This... Hubby, what's going on with Sister Yunshu? Why is she different from us? Didn't we become powerful Artifact Spirits shortly after we made a Contract with you?"

"Yeah, Hubby..."

Everyone started to feel puzzled.

Ye Qing looked at them with a smile, "Who said she didn't undergo an Ancestral Return? Yunshu has now undergone a Second Ancestral Return and has become a formation stone for a powerful grand array."

A formation stone?!

What is that?!

"A formation stone can unfold and transform into a magical array to slay opponents, and its power is extremely formidable..."

Ye Qing then explained.

Hearing this, the crowd's faces showed expressions of realization. So that was how it was.

So this is a formation stone.

It really is quite formidable.

Creak. Just as they were discussing, the door opened, and Yunshu walked out. She knew they were going into the Fissure today, so she didn't sleep in; instead, she wanted to go and see the Fissure.

After all, she had never entered the Fissure before. She had heard that the space inside was vastly different from the outside, so Yunshu was quite curious.

"Sister Yunshu, you're awake. Come over and eat quickly."

"Come, come, sit down."

...

Everyone said, their faces filled with enthusiasm.

Shortly after, the gates of Qishan Villa were knocked.

Zhou Lingxue went to open the door, looking outside, "Pharmacist Huang, why are you here so early in the morning?"

"I went to the auction last night to buy some high-Rank exotic plants. As soon as the auction ended, I rushed back," Huang Bai said, his face showing slight fatigue.

Hearing this, Zhou Lingxue thought, good grief, something must be urgent for him to rush over without stopping the moment the auction ended. It looked like he had been traveling all night.

"Please, come in quickly." Zhou Lingxue said, bringing Huang Bai inside. After all, Huang Bai's status was different now; he was Sister Yunshu's father, and his relationship with her husband had become much closer.

"Ye Qing, I'm back."

"You rushed back in such a hurry. Is something wrong? Sit down and have something to eat first."

Ye Qing watched and said. Huang Bai sat down, his face filled with excitement.

"This whole night, one could say the harvest was quite bountiful."

Huang Bai had just finished his sentence when he felt something was not quite right. He sensed a feeling of energy being snatched away.

Then, he looked at Zhou Lingxue and Liu Lianmeng. Wait!

There's another one!

Next, Huang Bai looked at Yunshu, who was sitting there, his eyes filled with shock.

Could it be that Yunshu is also pregnant?!

This...

Isn't this a bit too fast?

At that moment, Huang Bai started to feel puzzled, so he didn't ask for the time being.

Hearing Huang Bai's words, Zhou Lingxue and the others became interested.

"Pharmacist Huang, looking at your expression, you must have obtained quite a few good things last night? Did you enjoy the auction last night? How was it? You bought a lot of good things, right?"

"Indeed, I bought quite a lot of good things. You could say I nearly bought out the entire auction, and I didn't even spend much money. Furthermore, there were many unexpected gains."

As Huang Bai spoke, Yunshu stood up and walked to his side.

Huang Bai: "..." Daughter, what are you doing?

Then, under everyone's gaze, Yunshu placed her small hand on Huang Bai's forehead.

"You don't have a fever. Why are you talking nonsense in broad daylight?"

Huang Bai: "..."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Go away, go away. You dare to tease your old man now..."

Then, Huang Bai began to recount the events of last night: the beginning of the auction, then Liu Lin arrived and took the lead in offering high-Rank exotic plants, and everyone else followed suit.

"They were all very sensible. It seems there will be quite a lot of exotic plants coming this time. My Medicinal Field might not be enough; I need to go back and cultivate some more. Also, for the nutrient solution, Ye Qing, you need to give me some more..."

Huang Bai said, preparing for the large batch of high-Rank exotic plants that were about to arrive.

Ye Qing nodded.

Then, with a thought.

Whoosh!

The sound of something breaking through the air came.

Three shadow puppets appeared in front of Huang Bai.

This speed!

Huang Bai looked at the three shadow puppets in front of him, thinking about their speed, this...

They seem even more powerful than before!

Have they improved this much in just this short period?

"You can command these three to cultivate the Medicinal Field. As for the nutrient solution, I will give you some more in a moment."

Ye Qing said, and went to get it for Huang Bai.

"Alright, then I will head back first, Ye Qing."

Huang Bai then left with the three shadow puppets and the nutrient solution.

When Huang Bai walked out the door, he started to hesitate. He had received quite a lot of medicine last night; should he tell Ye Qing about this?

Thinking about it.

Forget it. After all, in Ye Qing's eyes, these medicines aren't really anything good. He would just consider it labor pay for helping Ye Qing cultivate the exotic plants.

He had been too busy collecting medicines last night and hadn't carefully organized how much he had actually collected.

He would organize it properly when he got back.

Outside.

King Fenghai and the others were also heading toward Qishan Villa.

They ran into Huang Bai head-on.

"Pharmacist Huang, you're here so early in the morning?" King Fenghai said.

"King Fenghai, I went to the auction last night to purchase high-Rank exotic plants, didn't I? After it ended, I returned through the night to report to Ye Qing."

"Oh? How was it? A bountiful harvest?"

"It was extremely bountiful." Huang Bai's face was full of smiles. Seeing this, everyone knew the guy had obtained quite a lot of good things. After all, that was just how Huang Bai was; his emotions were written all over his face. Such a person was relatively easy to see through.

Thinking this, they also looked at the several shadow puppets behind Huang Bai.

Such beings, hidden beneath black robes, were very hard to see through.
