"This is the first time I've seen so many spirit stones. I can't take it anymore, I'm going to sleep here tonight." He continued rolling around.

Xiu Qiyu smiled indulgently: "I'm glad you like it. We stumbled upon a spirit stone vein, and we can make a spirit stone bed out of it."

Ye Xiruo's eyes started shining again: "Brother Xiu Qi is right."

Seeing that Ye Xiruo really loved the pile of spirit stones and didn't want them at all, Xiu Qiyu had no choice but to take the precious spirit herbs over and let Ye Xiruo look at them one by one.

Ye Xiruo calmly observed the eighth and ninth-grade spiritual herbs, as well as some lower-grade herbs, around sixth or seventh grade, yet possessing remarkable effects. For example, the Concentrating Spirit Flower, long extinct on the Taiyan Continent, was extremely beneficial for nourishing the primordial spirit and strengthening spiritual power. The flower could be eaten directly, and its effects were even better when combined with other auxiliary herbs to refine it into pills. The leaves could be dried and made into tea, possessing the same effects as the Soul Cleansing Herb. It had miraculous effects on cultivators with damaged primordial spirits and injured divine consciousness. For alchemists, it was also a miraculous herb for strengthening soul power and enhancing divine consciousness. She hadn't expected such miraculous herbs to exist in the secret realm. Crucially, Xiu Qiyu had discovered them and dug up five of them, one twenty years old. The other five were less than ten years old. The Concentrating Spirit Flower's growth conditions were extremely demanding, but for Ye Xiruo, who possessed a spatial dimension, this was no problem. These five spiritual herbs could be quickly cultivated to maturity, and their seeds could be used for further planting.

You can also water them with the sacred spring water to accelerate their growth. I believe that before long, you will be able to cultivate a large patch of Concentration Flowers.

"Thank you." Ye Xiruo didn't stand on ceremony and directly put the five Concentration Flowers into her spatial storage. Brother Xiu Qi's luck was indeed very good. In addition to the Concentration Flowers, Xiu Qiyu also dug up the Three-Leaf Illusionary Spirit Grass, the Nine-Petaled Immortal Orchid, and the Five-Colored Mulberry Silkworm Tree. In addition to the spiritual herbs collected by Bingchen, Xiu Qiyu took them all out and let Ye Xiruo put them away.

Xiu Qiyu came in fifth place and received two ninth-grade spiritual herbs, Ganlan Ginseng and Sanfan Grass, which he presented to Ye Xiruo as if they were treasures.

After Ye Xiruo glanced at them, she calmly put them away, while the system kept exclaiming in surprise in her mind.

This batch of spiritual herbs was very satisfactory in both quality and quantity. With the nourishment of these herbs, the spiritual energy of the entire space might be raised by a level. The vegetables and spiritual fruits grown now would likely taste better, contain more spiritual energy, and the quality of the brewed spiritual wine would also be greatly improved.

Ye Xiruo kept complaining to Xiu Qiyu, saying that she hadn't been to her space for over two months because of the crowds in Tianjiao City. She imagined the space now being filled with the enticing aromas of fruit and medicine, and just thinking about it made her very excited.

The Snow Bamboo and Vajra Bamboo should already be quite substantial. This time, Xiu Qiyu also brought out the Profound Yin Bamboo, an eighth-grade bamboo. It is inherently cruel and likes to devour souls and yin energy. The entire bamboo is black, surrounded by a faint layer of black aura. The whole bamboo has a sinister aura, and Xiaobao will probably find it very repulsive.

However, the leaves of the Xuan Yin Bamboo can be used to make hidden weapons, and the bamboo itself can ward off evil spirits and suppress souls, so it's not entirely useless. I'll find a corner in the space to plant it.

"I'm sorry to have worried you these past two months. When we get back, I'll help you clean out the space, okay?"

"Do it yourself, no puppets allowed."

“Okay, I’ll do it myself.” Xiu Qiyu pulled Ye Xiruo off the pile of spirit stones: “It’s getting late, you should rest.”

"What should I do with these spirit stones? I want to sleep with them."

Xiu Qiyu shook her head: "It's so hard, it's not comfortable to sleep with it in your arms. You can put it on the ground so you can see it when you open your eyes."

“Okay.” Xiu Qiyu then collected the spirit stones from the ground and placed them in Ye Xiruo’s room.

"Alright, see? Are you satisfied now?"

The original pile of spirit stones has now become four piles, and Xiu Qiyu has transformed it into an enhanced spirit-gathering array. Within the array, even if you do nothing but sleep, your cultivation level will still increase.

The key is these four piles of sparkling spirit stones; just looking at them makes me feel great. Ye Ruo yawned, finally able to sleep peacefully.

Xiu Qiyu gently closed the door, walked out, and returned to her room, only to find that there was another person in her room.

Who else could it be but Zishu, gulping down the spirit wine?

"Senior Brother."

"Hmph, if you dare to sleep in Junior Sister's room, Master will definitely beat you to death."

"Senior Brother is too kind. I merely helped Xiao Yezi set up a defensive and cultivation formation. May I ask what brings you here, Senior Brother?"

"There's a letter for you." Zishu took a letter out of his pocket and handed it to Xiu Qiyu.

Xiu Qiyu opened the letter, glanced at it, and a wisp of transparent flame appeared at her fingertips. The letter quickly turned to ashes.

"Oh, are they trying to cover up the crime?"

It's better not to meet than to meet.

"It seems that some beautiful woman has been longing for you for a long time and finally wrote a letter, but it turned to ashes. How tragic."

"That's not true, but it's related to you too. The Illusionary Heaven Palace might not let this go easily. The Divine Child is the biological child of Palace Master Lian Jing. Yi Ruowu wrote a letter reminding us to be careful, as Lian Jing will not let this go easily."

"I've already thought of that. I'll go back to the depths of Mount Ling to see if my little darlings are alright. You stay in the Pill King Hall and don't go out, or you can go directly to the Ancient Domain to fight the enemy!"

"This is not a long-term solution. I'm afraid that having such a venomous snake on our radar will harm Xiao Yezi."

Zishu's wine cup clattered to the ground. Yes, Xiu Qiyu's worries were not unfounded. With Lian Jing's ruthless nature, he probably already harbored the thought of sacrificing the entire Illusionary Heaven Palace to avenge his son. However, the elders of the Illusionary Heaven Palace would likely not allow him to destroy the palace's heritage.

However, it's hard to guarantee that Lian Jing won't secretly stir up trouble behind the scenes.

"We should consult our master about this matter and ask for his opinion."

Although it was disgusting to be targeted by Lian Jing, neither of the two sects regretted crippling that damned prodigy. Despite his young age, he was vicious, arrogant, and had already been ruined by Lian Jing. He'd only grow up to be a menace to the world.

"No matter what happens, we must protect our junior sister." Ye Xiruo's existence is of great significance not only to the Pill King Palace, but also to the entire Taiyan Continent.

"Please rest assured, Senior Brother, I have always regarded Xiao Yezi as my life."

"Be careful yourself too." I almost forgot, if something happens to Xiu Qiyu, my junior sister will also be in trouble.
