Upon returning to the Qi residence, Qi Zhiheng first went to see Qi Zhenhe. He hadn't inquired about Xu Jin's matter after handing it over to Qi Zhenhe, but now this invitation to the gathering might actually be related to him.

"Father." Qi Zhiheng pushed open the study door and went in.

Qi Zhenhe's expression turned slightly complicated when he saw his son carrying a sack on his shoulder. His son was quite concerned about his image, and now he was actually carrying a sack.

Why did you come here?

"Chen Taohai invited me to a gathering in the middle of next month. The matter of Xue Ziye last time did not succeed, and the person who drugged her may have other plans."

Qi Zhenhe's face immediately turned somewhat gloomy: "Be careful of that Chen Taohai. He's the one who gave you the snow berries from Liu Shan. One of your mother's maids is also having an affair with him."

He was already angry about his son's situation, but he didn't expect that there was someone else's spies around his wife. Qi Zhenhe was furious. "I have already taken control of that maid. She has a lot of nerve. She has been putting drugs in your mother's food for a long time, making her unable to conceive."

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhiheng was immediately taken aback!

Thinking about it this way, the deaths of the mother and fetus in the previous life might also be related to this matter, but Chen Taohai's words don't seem right! The person behind this should be Xu Jin.

In his previous life, Chen Taohai hadn't made any moves after he left the Qi family, and there was no deep-seated hatred between the two families. It was possible that Chen Taohai disliked him.

Connecting the dots of today's events, Qi Zhiheng clenched his fists. He had initially thought that Xu Jin hadn't had time to commit too many evil deeds before handing him over to Qi Zhenhe. Now, knowing that Xu Jin had even colluded with Chen Taohai to harm his mother, Qi Zhiheng felt compelled to get involved; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to quell his anger.

Qi Zhiheng left Qi Zhenhe's study and returned to the herb garden.

Qi Zhiheng took the dark stone out of the sack and examined it carefully, but he couldn't tell what it was for a moment.

Deciding to wait until he had dealt with Xu Jin's matter before properly reviewing various classic texts, he subconsciously put the stone into his spatial storage.

As soon as the black stone entered the space, it began to shake violently. After a while, several cracks appeared, and white light shone through the cracks. The light lasted for about two breaths before the stone exploded and flew out in all directions, leaving only a tiny speck of jade light the size of a grain of rice. This jade light gradually expanded and deflected Qi Zhiheng's divine sense out of the space.

When Qi Zhiheng tried to examine it again, he was unable to probe it with his divine sense.

It was an hour later before Qi Zhiheng was able to probe his divine sense again.

As soon as Qi Zhiheng's consciousness entered the space, he was stunned by the scene inside. The space was no longer pitch black, but rather a vast and boundless land.

Qi Zhiheng's consciousness wandered through the space. To the east of the pavilion was a cluster of volcanoes, with magma gushing out and scorching hot.

To the west lies a desert that, when viewed from afar, appears to stretch endlessly.

To the south lies an ocean, its surface remarkably calm, which appears rather eerie.

To the north lies an ice field, covered in snow, extremely cold, yet without wind.

This space had unexpectedly become a small world again. Qi Zhiheng was overjoyed. With such a space, he could plant medicinal herbs of various attributes.

Qi Zhiheng planted all the seeds he had bought that day and then went to read books on herbs in the cultivation world.

After receiving the inheritance in his previous life, Qi Zhiheng focused on cultivation and had almost no time to read other books.

Things are different now. If he wants to continue his cultivation steadily, he must thoroughly understand pharmacology. Otherwise, if he can't even recognize the medicinal herbs, how can he prepare medicine that suits his body?

Moreover, since we will need to rely on elixirs to regulate our bodies in the future, it is good to learn more about medical books now in order to prepare for the future.

After Qi Zhiheng began to study medical books, he found that alchemy was quite interesting. It was just a pity that he did not have any medicinal materials or alchemy tools, otherwise Qi Zhiheng might have tried it.
