Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Cheng Lishan nervously approached the secret room outside Qu Houyang's secluded retreat.
"Did you bring back the magic stone?"
"Young master, please forgive me! The immortal stones I obtained on my way back to the city lord's mansion have all vanished!" Cheng Lishan knelt down and kowtowed, begging for forgiveness.
"waste!"
Qu Houyang roared, "Find a way to get me another ten billion immortal stones, or you can quit your job as steward!"
