Under the collaboration of Hongling and Xiao Ya, an inconspicuous pharmacy opened up in a corner of Polo City.
There was only an unremarkable widow in the shop. No one knew that this woman was Xiao Ya, the runaway concubine of Imperial Uncle Luo, who had caused quite a stir in the city a few days earlier.
And that little boy, Yue Chen, who happened to wet himself under a window that day, was coercively tasked by Yue Jinghua with a job, which they jokingly referred to as a grasshopper tied to a straw, inseparable.
The incident with the Eight Flames Yan Shao allowed Yue Jinghua to discover the talent in the little boy, Yue Chen.
This lad was a child prodigy in planting spirit wood, such uncut jade should not go to waste.
She secretly rented an estate and brought in a large number of mortal seedlings, which were specially managed by Yue Chen.
As soon as Yue Chen heard that he could take care of the seedlings in an estate, his little face beamed with joy, and he scuttled off to tend to the plants.
As for Yue Jinghua, who was happy to be a hands-off manager, after being busy for a few days, she finally found time to study the Ancient Dark Beast Egg.
Inside the Outer Court of Xuanji Academy.
Yue Jinghua and Shalman stared intently at the Ancient Dark Beast Egg that was hard-won.
"This is an Ancient Dark Beast Egg? Are you sure it's not a chicken egg?" After hearing Shalman's words, Yue Jinghua rolled her eyes in exasperation; this egg was something she acquired at the risk of her life.
Although when she first saw the egg, her doubts were identical to Shalman's. She even thought about cracking the Dark Egg open to see what exactly was inside.
All blame to Qing Pu for claiming it was an Ancient Egg from a thousand years ago, definitely a Dragon Egg, deceiving without paying the price.
Yue Jinghua cursed under her breath when a sudden warm breath blew over her ear. She shivered and saw Qing Pu standing beside her.
Yue Jinghua gave Qing Pu a glance. Only she seemed to be able to see his form; Shalman did not notice that another person had appeared in the room.
Seeing Yue Jinghua suddenly change her expression, Shalman thought her own words had displeased the other party and hurriedly explained, "I was joking. The patterns on this Ancient Dark Beast Egg are quite special, and it does seem quite old, it should not be an ordinary Ancient Egg. Once I have constructed the Beast Breeding Pool, we can hatch it, but building the Cultivation Well is very expensive."
Shalman's breeding of the Ancient Dark Beast required first renovating a Cultivation Well.
"The Ancient Dark Beast Egg is an artifact from ancient times. To hatch it, it requires a great amount of Dark Power. A normal Beast Formation probably won't work. The Ancient Spirit Taming Technique contains the construction methods for the Spirit Breeding Well. The Spirit Breeding Well can accumulate Dark Power from heaven and earth to hatch Ancient Dark Eggs. Fortunately, this Dark Beast Egg is not too large. Generally, the larger the Dark Egg, the more Dark Pills it consumes. To hatch this 'chicken egg', an Initial Stage Breeding Well is sufficient, which will cost about five thousand Dark Pills; in addition, at least one High-level Dark Pill is needed as the well core," Shalman became even more embarrassed, breeding Ancient Dark Beasts was indeed an expensive endeavor. She was a daughter of the Sha Family without influence and had no savings, so the money had to be sponsored by Yue Jinghua.
After the incident with Xiao Ya, Yue Jinghua had indeed become the backbone of Shalman.
Yue Jinghua had just set up her pharmacy and was also tight on funds. Immediately speechless, Yue Jinghua was now truly penniless.
A High-level Dark Pill, that would require at least a Fifth-level Dark Pill. This was indeed a bit difficult.
Musing about the possibility of a Pocket Dragon inside the egg, Yue Jinghua bit the bullet and gave Shalman the last five thousand Dark Pills on her Dan Xuan Card and decided to find another way to obtain the High-level Dark Pill.
"Qing Pu, you better guarantee me that what hatches out is truly a dragon. Has your power recovered? You can leave Mo Xi's Sea of Consciousness and reveal your form now?" Yue Jinghua was full of infuriated air with nowhere to vent, especially when seeing Qing Pu's enchanting face vividly swaying before her eyes.
When she first met Qing Pu, his Divine Sense was very weak, only able to hide inside Yue Jinghua's Dantian. But after the influence of Mo Xi's Sea of Consciousness, Qing Pu's strength gradually began to recover.
"It's gotten somewhat better, maybe one or two percent of my past power. Tsk, you're really too poor, you can't even afford an Ancient Dark Beast," Qing Pu looked disgusted, walking side by side with Yue Jinghua down the street.
To onlookers, it appeared that only Yue Jinghua was strolling leisurely by herself.
Having not contacted the outside world for nearly a thousand years, Qing Pu looked around curiously, the picture of a curious baby.
