"Mother, who do you think Miss Zhao is? The things she brought out before were fine, but this peach, I'm afraid only the legendary immortal can bring it out, right?"

Speaking of immortals, the old lady suddenly remembered something. "It was widely rumored earlier that Master Zhao revived the century-old Bodhi tree in Lingyun Temple and even made a peach tree bloom and bear fruit on the spot. Do you remember?"

Master: "How could I forget this?"

He suddenly realized, "Zhao Xiaoxian, Zhao Zhenren... they both have the surname Zhao. Hiss, could Miss Zhao be related to that Zhao Zhenren?"

The old lady said: "No matter whether it is true or not, Xiaoxian has done a great favor to our family, and we must not be ungrateful!"

The eldest master: "Look at what you said, son, am I that kind of person?"

The old lady stood up and walked to the bed, and took out a jade box from the secret layer. The jade box was not big, only three inches (10 cm) square.

The eldest master looked at it and thought that there was a secret layer hidden at the head of his mother's bed, which he had never known about.

The old lady came over with the jade box and opened it. The eldest master came over to take a look and found a pitch-black bead inside, the size of a lychee, with a layer of goose yellow velvet underneath.

"Mom, what is this?"

"This was given to me by your father before he died. He said that the Ye family had an immortal ancestor, and this bead was passed down by that immortal ancestor. But nowadays, where are there any immortals? Maybe there are, but we can't get in touch with them. Instead of letting this bead gather dust with me, why not give it to the little fairy? Maybe it will be useful to her once it gets her hands on it."

The old lady stroked the beads and closed the lid. "You can go there yourself tomorrow. Forget it. Let Diao'er go there and have him deliver the beads to Xiaoxian in person."

Ye Diao took the jade box to Zhao's house. On the other side, Zhang Ying also sent someone to deliver the invitation. Unfortunately, neither party was able to meet Xue Huan.

Because she was in her own embroidery workshop at that time, helping to greet customers.

At Mrs. Ye's birthday banquet, her water silkworm brocade Liuxian skirt and Lin Yuzhu's jacket made the reputation of Jinluyi spread.

After the birthday banquet, ladies and young ladies from various families came to visit the shop. They found that it was worth the trip. Not only was the layout of Jinluyi ingenious and very different from that of other shops, but the clothes and various accessories were also very exquisite, which fully stimulated their shopping desire.

As the young master, Xue Huan worked as a model for a day without pay and tried on countless dresses. Although it was tiring, the rewards were generous.

Because she is beautiful and has a good figure, she looks great when trying on clothes, which makes the customers' eyes light up and they keep buying. It's so refreshing.

The stock previously produced in the embroidery workshop was sold out in just one day, leaving the customers who missed out on buying it feeling very regretful.

However, when the embroidery workshop launched the ordering service, these customers became happy again and paid deposits one after another.

Xue Huan was busy in the embroidery workshop for several days in a row. Later, when everyone in the workshop gradually got used to it, she was able to get away.

Switching back to Zhao Xiaoxian's identity and returning to the Zhao Mansion, she found out that Zhang Ying had sent her an invitation, inviting her to appreciate the chrysanthemums.

The leaf carving also ran here several times.

She had only been sitting there for a while when Ye Diao came again. He thought it was another wasted trip, but he didn't expect to run into the real person.

"Finally I found your man. Look, my grandma asked me to give it to you, saying I must hand it over to you personally."

Xue Huan took the box from him.

Ye Diao came over and said, "Open it and see what it is."

"Don't you know?"

Ye Diao touched his nose and said angrily, "My grandma won't let me watch it."

Xue Huan opened the jade box. Ye Diao saw the beads inside and found that there was nothing special. He couldn't help but sit back in disappointment: "I thought it was some kind of treasure."

After sitting for a while, enjoying a cup of tea and a plate of snacks, Ye Diao said goodbye: "Okay, the things have been delivered, and my mission is completed."

Xue Huan took the beads back to the room. After taking them out, she found a piece of letter under the velvet cloth, with the words "Throw me a wooden peach, and I will repay you with a jade pendant" written on it.

She understood it at a glance. It seemed that the old lady knew the efficacy of the spiritual peach, and she rewarded her with this bead in such a secret way.

In fact, she sent the peaches simply to celebrate the old lady's birthday, but she didn't expect the old lady to give her a gift in return.

She looked at it for a long time but couldn't tell what material the bead was made of. It was neither stone, jade nor iron. Although it was only a small bead, it felt heavy in her hand.

She tried to input a little spiritual energy, but it was completely absorbed like a drop in the ocean, and there was no reaction at all.

Then she tried various methods, such as chopping with a knife, pinching it hard, and burning it, but she could not cause even the slightest damage to the bead.

She couldn't help but become more and more interested in the bead.

While practicing in the space at night, Xue Huan suddenly had an idea. She took the bead and probed her spiritual consciousness into it.

During this exploration, she felt that her entire soul was being pulled by a huge force, and was instantly pulled out of her body and came to an unfamiliar place.

This is a place similar to the universe, very empty and quiet. It feels like you are stepping on air, and you have a trembling feeling that you may fall into an endless abyss at any time.

The next moment, a meteorite shot towards her at an extremely fast speed, so fast that she had no time to react.

The meteorite passed directly through her body. She felt a sharp pain as if her soul was torn apart. Her body sank, and her soul had returned to her body.

Hiss, my head hurts!

Xue Huan covered her head and fell to the ground, and the pitch-black bead rolled to the side.

What is going on?

Is the place where her soul entered just now the space inside this bead?

The more she thought, the more her head hurt, as if it was about to explode. Xue Huan didn't dare to use her brain anymore. She lay on the ground, thinking of nothing, trying her best to empty her mind, and gradually fell asleep.

This sleep lasted for three full days.

Mu He was extremely worried and came to check on her from time to time. He found that her breathing was steady and she was just sleeping, so he didn't wake her up.

When Xue Huan opened her eyes, she saw Mu He lying beside her with a wrinkled face. Her head still felt a little swollen and painful, just like the feeling when she woke up the next day after being drunk.

She rubbed her head and sat up, realizing that she had slept for three days. Thinking back to the feeling of having her soul penetrated, she still felt a lingering fear.

"Hanhuan, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just have a headache."

Mu He flew to the table and poured a glass of honey water over, "Drink some water."

"good."

After drinking some water, Xue Huan ate a lot of food and put the beads away carefully.

After a comfortable soak in the hot spring, her headache had almost disappeared by the time she came out. She also felt her spiritual awareness had actually improved!

I guess it has something to do with that bead.

But for the time being she couldn't go in again, so she could only wait until next time to explore it carefully.

Afterwards, Xue Huan took Ah Man to Zhao Ji, inspected the store, and went to the snack workshop to teach the female workers how to make mooncakes.
