A gust of black wind ran into a cave, transformed into a human form, and knelt on one knee. "Master, as you ordered, I have severely injured the God of Ifu. Although no one has worshipped him for a long time, his divine power cannot be underestimated. Although I took the opportunity to severely injure him, he also beat me badly. I hid in the mountains and forests for four years before I recovered some of my strength."
"If even you can kill him easily, then he is not qualified to be my opponent." A black human-shaped stone spoke.
"That's true. I recently heard that the woman chosen by God Ifu has been asking people about the five medicines, but her whereabouts are still unknown." The man in black spoke.
"Oh? Then why do you come to me instead of stopping her?" Black Stone said.
"Aren't I here to report the situation to you? After all, I can't fight four people alone, so I wanted to see if you have any helpers you can send to me?" The man in black smiled servilely.
Heishitou took a deep breath. "Why are you so useless? Jin-Ifuku-shin chose a mortal woman with the same surname as me. How could she be able to do so many things?"
The man in black lowered his head and said nothing.
Black Stone sighed, "Forget it, forget it. Who can a bat like you really defeat? Humans are not much smarter than animals. So, you should follow them and stop their actions. Killing her would be the best. I know there are many bad people in the world. If you give them a little benefit, you can make them work for you."
The man in black nodded and said, "Master, when can you come out of the stone?"
"Isn't that girl surnamed Yi going to look for five medicinal herbs to save her ancestor?" Black Stone paused, as if figuring something out. "Wait, find those five medicinal herbs and that little girl for me, and then I can get out."
The man in black didn't understand why he suddenly changed his mind, but he still nodded seriously and agreed.
"That girl surnamed Yi has probably been searching for the past four years but hasn't found anything. You go and lead her. You have to be a guide and take them to find the herbs. If you sit still, with your brain, you will easily ruin my plans. Let's go find the Golden House Toad first. The Golden House Toad is on a cliff in the west. You take them to find it. I guess the God Yifu has also left something for that girl. Wait until they have collected all the herbs and bring them back to me all at once. And that girl, I can use her in a big way." Black Stone smiled sinisterly.
The man in black pouted when he was scolded, looking unconvinced, but he nodded in agreement after hearing the end.
Just as the man in black was about to leave, Black Stone spoke up, "How can you serve me like this? Take it, eat it, and your wounds will heal."
I saw a black purple-gold bead fly into the mouth of the man in black. The next second, the man in black felt his power return, and there was no pain. The man in black said gratefully, "Thank you, master!"
"Go." Black Stone said and stopped talking.

Yi Yami received a letter from Yi Xiaomai and opened it to read:
"Sister, I lived up to your expectations. I won the top prize in both the civil and military examinations. I had originally planned to return home to celebrate with you, but the Emperor sent me to Duhei Mountain to investigate the mining accident that killed Master's son, Ping An's father. I also need to find out the size of the mineral veins and their mineral content. By the time you receive this letter, I will already be on my way to Duhei Mountain. Written by Yi Xiaomai."
Gu Beijian frowned, "I'm afraid this is not a good job. As expected, the dog emperor is still a dog emperor."
Yi Yami didn't understand why Gu Beijian seemed to always hate the emperor, but she didn't want to mention it for the time being, so she asked, "Why isn't it a good job?"
"Because, back then, Mo Wen's son, Mo Kang, was also ordered by the emperor to go to Duhei Mountain to look for mineral veins in order to increase revenue for the national treasury, but not long after, Mo Kang died. It is said that he touched the financial resources of many people, so the originally good mine collapsed, causing Mo Kang to die under the mine." Gu Beijian said with a frown.
"You know so much, why don't you tell Mo Wen?" Yi Yami wondered.
"Mo Wen is just an old man, and he was just a civil servant. Moreover, the evidence of his crime was destroyed at that time. I have investigated, but I came back empty-handed. So it's just speculation. There is no actual evidence to prove it, so I didn't mention it." Gu Beijian explained.
"Oh, so let's chase after him. I'm a little worried about Xiaomai." Yiyami said anxiously.
"Okay." Gu Beijian was about to answer when he saw a sick man walk in.
"Yes, is that Shopkeeper Yi?" the sickly man asked.
Yi Yami was about to speak in confusion, but Gu Beijian stood in front of her and asked, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for Manager Yi." The sick man spoke.
"How do you know I'm Shopkeeper Yi?" Yi Yami asked in confusion.
"I asked around on the way here. Shopkeeper Yi is a girl, not a boy. I have some common sense." The sick man spoke.
Yi Yami nodded. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Didn't you put up a notice in the store? Saying that if you can provide information, you'll get a reward, and if you can bring it in person, there'll be a generous reward, right?" The sickly man wanted to confirm the authenticity of the information with Yiyami.
"Do you have any information?" Yiyami was puzzled and didn't quite believe it.
"Don't look at me looking sick now. I travel around selling small things. It was just a few days ago when the weather was cold and I caught a cold, so I don't look very well now." The sick man explained.
"Okay, then tell me, which medicine information do you want to provide me with?" Yiyami asked patiently.
"What I want to give you is the information about the Golden House Toad." The sickly man said.
Yi Yami nodded upon hearing this. "Just take care of yourself first and we'll talk later. I don't have time to listen to you right now. I have other important things to do."
The man was stunned when he heard this. This, this, isn't Yi Yami very anxious? Why is it different from the information I collected?
Yi Yami arranged for Qian Fugui to find a place for the man to stay, and he could eat medicinal food and see a doctor if he needed one.
She told He Huaizhu that she was going to check out businesses in other places and would be away for a while. He Huaizhu believed her and let her go.
Yi Yami told Qian Fugui to pay attention to receiving letters, and she would send him a letter if she had anything to do.
Qian Fugui nodded.
Yi Yami and Gu Beijian rode their horses towards Duhei Mountain.
