Lin Jingge quickly retrieved the pharmacopoeia.
"If there are any updates to the Heavenly Book in the future, just let me know. Don't take it out again." Lin Jingge rubbed Xiao Shi's head and reminded him.
Xiao Shi, being of one mind with her, naturally knew that Lin Jingge wasn't unwilling to let the Heavenly Book absorb the fragment of the Pharmacopoeia; she was just thinking that after reviving Granny Lin, she would show the Pharmacopoeia to her and ask for her consent before proceeding.
After all, the pharmacopoeia is something that the Lin family has passed down for a lifetime.
Thinking of Granny Lin, Lin Jingge's mood visibly dropped.
Holding Xiao Shi in her hands, she slipped into the space and headed towards the innermost room in the warehouse, which was separated by a glass wall.
She braced her right hand against the glass wall and looked through the glass at the person lying inside.
Grandma Lin was killed by a single blow, but her body was not seriously injured; her lifeline had simply been severed.
The other party was clearly a seasoned killer, knowing which method was the easiest to use to kill, and he had murderous intent from the moment he made the move. Granny Lin took the blow for her and died instantly.
She had already wiped the bloodstains from the corner of Granny Lin's mouth.
Grandma Lin's eyes were closed, and her hands were hanging down at her sides, like a living person sleeping peacefully.
But Lin Jingge knew that Granny Lin was dead; she had watched her die right before her eyes!
Lin Jin slid her hand across the glass wall, as if she were touching Grandma Lin's hand from a distance.
It was quiet all around.
Xiao Shi, who was lying obediently in Lin Jingge's palm, shrank back.
It was connected to Lin Jingge's consciousness and could feel the other's sadness.
[Song?]
"I'm fine." Lin Jingge was awakened by Xiao Shi's call, and quickly withdrew her hand, suppressing her emotions.
"I'm glad you're alright." Xiao Shi, who jumped out of Lin Jingge's palm, responded enthusiastically to Lin Jingge.
When it saw Lin Jingge withdraw her gaze and walk away, it subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
[Actually, there's not much to see in the Heavenly Book. The updated content is similar to an encyclopedia. If you want to know anything in the future, Gege, I'll look it up for you.] Xiao Shi chased after him with her short, hopping legs, babbling on and on about random things.
"Hmm." Lin Jingge responded softly, and when she looked up, she saw the light curtain that sealed the rest of the space.
Without saying anything more, in the blink of an eye, they were back at the same spot where they had just entered the space.
Xiao Shi also ran out of the space.
[Gege, where are we going now?] Xiaoshi looked at the road not far ahead.
"Since there are such wide roads in this forest, it means there is a town nearby, so this forest is probably not very big." Lin Jingge came to this conclusion after observing the surroundings.
Xiao Shi nodded her cat head, completely agreeing with Lin Jingge's statement: [That's right, that's exactly it! Jingge, you've improved; you can analyze things on your own now!]
These words carried a sense of pride and joy, like the feeling of watching a daughter grow up. You see, in the past, Lin Jingge would usually have it analyze such situations.
Lin Jingge glanced down at the disappearing figure, lost in his identity as an elder, chuckled, bent down to tuck Xiao Shi into his arms, and then chose a direction to leave the place.
...
At this moment, in the imperial city of Canglan Continent.
The imperial city was already in an uproar because of the sudden incident at the royal family's secret realm.
At this time in the past, the royal family would celebrate the considerable resources they had gained from the secret realm.
It's important to know that there are some places in the secret realm that only those with royal markings can go, which to some extent guarantees the advantage of the royal family.
But now, the royal family has not only gained nothing, but has also incurred the dissatisfaction of a group of people.
These discontents naturally stemmed from the families who had paid money and resources to gain entry into the secret realm.
None of the families that can afford this amount of money are small families.
Although they are no match for the royal family individually, they can still intimidate the royal family when they form a united front.
These past few days, the emperor of the royal family has been so worried that he can't even concentrate on his cultivation.
"Your Majesty, the people from the four great families have been standing outside the gate for a while now," the guard reported as he re-entered the hall.
"Tell them I'm in seclusion," the emperor said impatiently, dismissing the guards.
He was also worried. This group of people hadn't gotten any benefits from the secret realm, so they came here to cause trouble, just wanting him to compensate them.
But once you've acquired something, who would want to take it away?
The emperor grew increasingly agitated, and with a sweep of his hand, everything on the table was blown to the ground by a gust of wind.
It shattered into pieces on the ground with a "crash".
He didn't even glance at the mess on the ground, but went straight out the door.
He stopped at a gatekeeper and asked, "What, hasn't Chu Wang sent back any news yet?"
"Since the prince consort left, there has been no news of him," the man replied honestly, without saying anything else.
However, the emperor's face was as black as an iron pot.
He punched a nearby pillar.
Even though the Spirit Lord didn't use his full strength, his strike still left a fist-sized mark on the iron pillar, with almost half of his fist embedded in it.
Upon seeing this, the member of the royal family was startled and quickly took a step back, fearing that the punch would land on his head.
His head isn't as hard as a cylinder.
Fortunately, the emperor was just venting his anger and didn't intend to take it out on anyone.
After the emperor left, he went directly to the residence of the Imperial Preceptor.
He happened to run into the Imperial Advisor, who had been avoiding him all along.
His face lit up with surprise and joy, and he rushed forward: "Imperial Advisor! The entrance to the Royal Family's Secret Realm has disappeared! What are we going to do?!"
"Disappeared?" A hint of surprise flashed in the white-haired, silver-eyed man's eyes, but he quickly regained his calm expression.
"Yes, it was only the entrance that was closed a few days ago, but when I went to the center of the imperial city tonight, I found that the entrance was gone!" the emperor said hastily.
He kept his eyes fixed on the Imperial Preceptor, afraid that the other party would disappear again.
However, they merely watched and did not dare to pull anyone away.
You see, he was so excited when he touched the other person that he subconsciously reached out, but he quickly withdrew his hand after realizing what had happened.
Their Grand Preceptor of Canglan is someone even people from the Yunding Continent dare not provoke.
The emperor didn't know the other party's age or level of understanding; he had never understood him before. Therefore, he was extremely cautious when dealing with the imperial advisor, as had always been the case with the royal family.
The white-haired man had his eyelids half-closed, his face calm and expressionless, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking. However, regarding the disappearance of the entrance to the royal secret realm, coupled with the scene of Lin Jingge falling from the sky and landing in his arms that day, he had a rough idea of what was going on.
Thinking of this, his fingers, which had once touched Lin Jinge's skin, twitched slightly beneath his sleeve.
