So there's such a thing.

Wu Jinliang slowly said "Oh," then continued to ask, "Well, does Granny know the method to refine Death Refusing Incense?"

Granny Qi slightly nodded, "I know. When the Phoenix Clan submitted to Jin Zhan, naturally the refining secret method couldn't be hidden from him, Jin Zhan also attempted to refine it, my ancestors assisted him."

Wu Jinliang: "So does Granny have a way to refine it?"

Granny Qi sighed, "Didn't I make it clear? The Reversing Soul Tree is the main material for refining, even now the Phoenix Clan lacks materials, it's even more impossible for me to obtain them."

Wu Jinliang of course knew it was difficult for her to obtain, it was just a way of speaking, he immediately pushed the question forward again: "So, aside from the Reversing Soul Tree, Granny could get all the other refining materials?"

Granny Qi thought for a moment, nodded, "It's not difficult."

Wu Jinliang asked again, "How long to get them?"

"Collecting the materials and then finding someone to refine 'Divine Travel,' it would probably take around ten days…" Granny Qi paused while speaking, then corrected herself, "No, Mr. Gao, without the Reversing Soul Tree, thinking too much about the others is useless."

Wu Jinliang suddenly floated a sentence, "We have Reversing Soul Tree materials on our side."

"..." Granny Qi stayed in place, stunned for a while before asking with a face full of suspicion, "The Phoenix Clan guarding Divine Mountain is guarding the emergence of the Reversing Soul Tree, even the Phoenix Clan doesn't have the materials, where did you get them?"

Wu Jinliang said indifferently, "Where they come from is our business, we just happened to have some stock."

After speaking, he carefully observed the changes in the other's expression.

Because this was the explanation instructed by Shi Chun.

Still the same thing, Shi Chun still doesn't believe Mrs. Bai is doing this out of gratitude, still suspects it's related to Jin Zhan.

Alright, then why not try to stroke the fur smoothly and see if he can make the other comfortable enough to help work here.

A little bit of the Reversing Soul Tree, they're willing to lose it, at worst they'll climb the mountain and pull out a couple more trees.

Upon hearing, Granny Qi was stunned again, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, then she corrected herself, "Oh, in that case, the refining problem shouldn't be too big."

"Hehehehe…" Seeing the other wise enough not to delve deeply into the origin, Wu Jinliang was pleased and asked again, "I'll provide the Reversing Soul Tree materials, for the rest of the materials and refining, it's up to Granny, how soon can Granny produce the Death Refusing Incense?"

Granny Qi pondered, "I have really never refined it before, I can't say the exact time."

Wu Jinliang urged, "Hurry up!"

Granny Qi thought about it, "I'll mobilize Mrs. Bai's resources and do my best, aiming to finish in about ten days, provided the Reversing Soul Tree materials aren't delayed."

Wu Jinliang: "The Reversing Soul Tree materials are simple, Granny can send someone down the mountain anytime to the designated location to extract them."

"Good, as long as we can rescue the Jin Family, I'll do my utmost!" Granny Qi tapped her cane, then spiritedly turned and left.

Wu Jinliang watched his departing silhouette and chuckled again and again, and pulled out the Mother-child Talisman to communicate the situation to Shi Chun...

Yishuo, Huang Yingying, who had gone out to do labor, returned, he was summoned back with a notice saying someone wanted to see him.

Who would want to see him? Surely it couldn't be Gao He openly coming to see him?

With a head full of confusion, upon returning to the cliffside, he saw a figure in snowy white holding a smoking pipe, and couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out to be his lady who had come.

Not to mention, that glamorous figure paired with the mountain scenery, indeed has a special charm, unfortunately visible but untouchable, Huang Yingying shrugged his shoulders and quickly walked over, he was now more concerned about whether he would be rescued.

As long as he was able to regain freedom, whether it was Gao He who rescued him, or his lady, it didn't matter to him, Clan Leader Jinfu on the clan side seemed to have other plans, not letting him interfere too much.

Bai Qiru, who sensed the commotion, looked back and saw his tattered, dirty appearance, couldn't help but frown.

Huang Yingying approached and said with a dry smile, "Madam came, let Madam see the joke..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Qiru waved his hand and threw out a set of clothes, which Huang Yingying caught, looking confused.

Bai Qiru said indifferently, "Go wash up first, don't come to see me if you don't clean up."

Thinking of regaining freedom with her connections, Huang Yingying naturally nodded and took the order, hurriedly turned and darted away, finding a waterfall in a nearby mountain stream, pulled off his worn clothes, and dove under the waterfall to wash.

Once he was refreshed and clean, changed into new clothes, and appeared before Bai Qiru, he was a new man, albeit a bit old and looking unseemly.

Bai Qiru just gave him a quick up-and-down glance, then gestured with her chin towards the bottom of the cliff, "Take a look at where you live."

She really hadn't been here before.

Huang Yingying smiled wryly, "Better not go, it's dark inside, and the smell isn't pleasing, you like cleanliness..."

Before he could finish, Bai Qiru had already flashed downwards, what could he do, he could only follow and jump down.

The smell was indeed unpleasant, Bai Qiru who went down the cliff couldn't help but frown when she reached the entrance of the cave, but still continued smoking while she went inside.

The further they went, the darker it became, eventually so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of you, only the flashing firelight in the pipe, the Golden-haired Rat family's night vision was okay, Bai Qiru wasn't as good, so she flicked a bit of Sandal Gold Flame Energy toward Huang Yingying.

Huang Yingying immediately understood, and caught the flame energy to illuminate the path ahead while leading the way.

All the way empty, Bai Qiru queried, "Is it just you living in such a big cave?"

Huang Yingying smiled wryly: "Not at all, this place doesn't keep idle people, young and old alike, all go to work."

Bai Qiru fell silent again, and occasionally puffed smoke from her lips.

After walking for a while, they reached the residence. Huang Yingying pointed to the empty and damp cave inside, "This is it."

Nothing was there. Bai Qiru glanced around and knew that she usually rested on the ground here.

Suddenly, she waved her hand and unexpectedly threw a bed from the Qiankun Bag onto the ground, followed by bedding.

Seeing Bai Qiru give her this set, clearly for long-term preparation here, Huang Yingying couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked, "Madam, can't you get me out of here?"

Bai Qiru said nothing, put away her pipe, took off the hair ornaments, letting her long hair fall over her shoulders, and then turned her back to Huang Yingying, undressing.

"..." Huang Yingying was bewildered, not understanding what Bai Qiru was up to.

And then, as time went on, his eyes slowly widened, because Bai Qiru even removed the last piece of covering from her body. Her exquisite, naked, fair figure, full of charm, was not something a dusty brothel woman could compare to. He gulped down his saliva.

At the same time, he was filled with suspicion. What was she playing at?

Bai Qiru, arms slightly crossed, waited for a while, then turned her head to ask, "Don't you want it?"

"Um? Ah?" Huang Yingying was a bit confused, not sure if that's what she meant.

Regardless, if it wasn't, they'd figure it out later. He immediately got closer and reached out.

Seeing Bai Qiru not resisting, acting as if she would let him do as he pleased, Huang Yingying's heart was relieved, and he let go of restraint, directly pushing the fair body onto the bed, and started acting recklessly...

Even after leaving the cave, sending Bai Qiru to the cliff, Huang Yingying still felt like he was dreaming, almost disbelieving the pleasure just now was real.

Anyway, she seemed to have suddenly become a different person.

He tried to reach for Bai Qiru's hand again and saw her trying to resist but holding back, so he grinned and coquettishly pleaded, "Madam, I get anxious if I don't see you in a day, could you ask the Goddess to release me?"

Now he was truly eager to return to the grain store and live the small life.

Bai Qiru contemplated, "I've already asked, but it's no use."

She vaguely remembered the Goddess's original words. Letting him go was easy, but her grandmother had to be willing first, and she needed to keep good relations with the family.

Judging by her grandmother's tone, her grandmother didn't want him released, while the Goddess also seemed a bit disapproving of her being with a Golden-haired Rat for a spouse, feeling she was a bit capricious and needed discipline!

"Sigh." Disappointed, Huang Yingying lowered his head and sighed.

"Leaving now, be careful." Bai Qiru withdrew her hand, turned, and flew away.

Huang Yingying shouted, "Madam, remember to visit me!"

No response...

On the other side, Granny Qi did not delay with Wu Jinliang's proposal. After deep reflection, she immediately gathered people and arranged the related matters upon returning home.

Just as she finished arranging things, she saw her granddaughter Bai Qiru return, the latter came to say goodbye.

After dismissing others, Granny Qi asked, "Did the Goddess agree?"

She knew it was redundant to ask, as it was not about taking him out, just visiting her husband, with her influence, the Goddess should not make it difficult.

Bai Qiru nodded, "I've already seen him. Grandma, I'm returning to Dazhi City first."

"That's good." Granny Qi nodded, then approached and whispered, "Grandma's judgment was correct. Gao He and his group were definitely coming due to Jin Zhan's actions."

With the sudden change, Bai Qiru could feel it too, somewhat puzzled, she asked, "Has Grandma verified this?"

Granny Qi whispered, "They actually have the Reversing Soul Tree, and it's stock. The Phoenix Clan doesn't even have it, where did they get it? Jin Zhan was once the master of Divine Mountain, and during Jin Zhan's lifetime, the Reversing Soul Tree wasn't as scarce as now, Jin Zhan cut down Reversing Soul Trees and having its stock is not surprising. This definitely isn't a coincidence!"

Bai Qiru understood Grandma's intentions.

"Girl, Huang Yingying's cultivation talent is the best among his tribe. When the time is right, I'll make a mention on the Goddess's side, and then you go plead for the release, letting Gao He and his group maintain the only advantage of contacting Jin Family on Huang Yingying. And you also need to keep good relations with Huang Yingying. Once relations are good, and others know Bai family is repaying kindness, it won't be far from the result, right?"

Bai Qiru silently nodded...

By evening, in the forest under Zhu Lang Pavilion, the sunset cast shadows through the trees on the slope, illuminating the man with black hair and a golden crown dressed in brocade robes. He was the West Emperor, Han State Domain Master, standing in a seemingly abandoned pavilion, gazing afar.

Before long, Hu Gongxian, the chief steward of Zhu Lang Pavilion, hurried over, and respectfully saluted, "Domain Master, the carriage is ready."

This person always came secretly, as it was not good to be seen, and during the day, it was easier to expose, hence a carriage was needed for concealment.

The West Emperor remained unmoved, calmly asked, "Was Yin Xu ever a maid of the Qingqiu Ancestor when she was in Qingqiu?"

Hu Gongxian paused for a moment and then honestly replied, "No. I haven't heard that the Ancestor used any maids later either. Many of the current clansmen haven't seen the Ancestor for years, and even if there was, it would be a desirable job, not something for us branch families to serve."

West Emperor: "She's making baseless claims, isn't she afraid it will reach Qingqiu, and have someone come clear the gates?"

Hu Gongxian showed a slight bitter smile, "I don't know why she suddenly said that, likely a hasty self-preservation."

The West Emperor asked again, "The two missing persons, did she send them away?"

Hu Gongxian slightly bowed, "Yes, but only sent out of the city."
