Chapter 358 Obtaining the Void Stone, What a stroke of luck!
"Master, the Void Stone, at the bottom of the shelf, quick, quick."
Ah Ying's urgent voice echoed in my mind.
Ok?
Void Stone? What's it used for?
She doesn't know her, and she doesn't know anything about her.
Following Aying's directions, Wenwen walked to the shelf where the finished medicines were placed and squatted down.
Upon seeing this, the others all turned to look at her.
"Nephew, do you need finished medicine? Your uncle will help you find it."
"Uncle Thick Eyebrows volunteered," he said.
"Uncle-Master, I'd like to see this."
Wenwen pointed to the bottom shelf, near the corner, and said.
"This?" The thick-browed uncle asked uncertainly, "Nephew, these stones are just ordinary stones that I picked up to weigh down the shelves and fill the gaps. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Even though he said that, my uncle still brought out several large stones.
At first glance, these stones appear perfectly smooth, but upon closer inspection, their surfaces are covered with a dense layer of tiny pinholes.
Wenwen asked in her mind, "Aying, is this all? Are you sure?"
Ah Ying answered confidently, "I'm sure, absolutely, and definitely."
"What are these stones for?" Wenwen asked without hesitation.
Ah Ying, feeling a bit haughty, said in a tone of disappointment, "I always tell you to read more books, but you don't. Now you know you only realize how little you know when you need it, right?"
Ah Ying sighed and said, "It's like this..."
Afterwards, Aying explained to Wenwen the uses of this stone.
Void Stone is a basic crafting material used to forge spatial rings, some low-level furnaces, and some clothing.
I never expected to find this kind of stone here.
Finally, Aying added, "You guys really hit the jackpot."
Seeing that Wenwen specifically wanted to see this kind of stone, the others came over to take a look.
Ye Jingchuan transmitted his voice: "Wen'er, what is this?"
Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin: "Little sister, what's this stone for?"
Wenwen: "Aying said this is a Void Stone. I don't recognize it. It would be good if my second uncle were here."
“Void Stone?” Wen Chengbin asked in surprise, “I’ve heard my father mention it, but I don’t know what it is.”
Wen Chengjian: "Listen to Aying, take it first."
Ye Jingchuan: "No rush, let me ask my uncle where he found it. Maybe there are more outside!"
Ye Jingchuan picked up a stone, looking quite pleased with it, and asked, "Uncle-Master, this stone is quite heavy and smooth. Where did you find it? Do you have any more?"
Thick-browed Uncle: "What, you like this too?"
The round-faced senior uncle said, "Oh dear, what's wrong? You've only been out for a short while and you're already thinking about stones? You don't even care about these medicinal herbs anymore?"
Big Mouth Uncle: "What a bunch of fools! What good are stones? In my opinion, they're not even as good as a few ginseng roots!"
Wen Chengbin replied casually, "Uncle-Master, I want the ginseng, and I want the stone too. Just don't say I'm too greedy, hehehe."
Big Mouth Uncle patted Wen Chengbin on the shoulder and said, "Good lad, don't be polite with your uncle, just take it, hahaha."
The atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.
"Uncle-Master, are there any more stones?"
The round-faced uncle pondered for a few moments and said, "After crossing the gully and mountain pass, it was on the shallow riverbank over there. We brought it back because it was heavy and smooth. I remember there were all kinds of them along the riverbank."
"They're all along the riverbank? When did this happen?"
Wenwen found it hard to believe; if there were so many, why had Aying never seen them?
"Uh, about a few years? More than ten years? I don't remember."
No wonder, Wenwen thought, maybe Aying had never been here before.
Ye Jingchuan: "Uncle-Master, if it's convenient, could you take us there?"
"Now? Not asking for a gift anymore?"
"There's no rush for a gift, and I'm not leaving anytime soon."
"That's right. Our grandmaster will be performing rituals these next few days. By the way, will you all be helping out?"
Ye Jingchuan nodded, "Yes, everyone should learn to do it. Those who were taught by our master should all learn to do it."
The round-faced senior uncle said with satisfaction, "You can help your grandmaster with his work. Not bad, not bad. Let's set off then. I'll take you to find the stone."
"Okay, let's go."
The three senior uncles led a few people from the back gate toward the back mountain.
On the way, the round-faced martial uncle asked, "Xiao Chuan, how is the situation at the border this time?"
After a hurried journey, they arrived at the shallow riverbank an hour later.
"Huh, the water level here in the shallows has risen so much? This river wasn't this high in previous years!"
"There has been a lot of rain this year, so it's not surprising that small rivers have turned into large rivers. The shallows have become deep shoals, and you can't see any stones at all. They're probably all piled up at the bottom of the river."
The senior uncles said somewhat awkwardly.
"It's alright, Uncle-Master, watch me." After saying that, Ye Jingchuan jumped straight into the river.
Wenwen thought to herself, "Actually, Uncle Ye didn't need to go into the river. They could have sensed it with their divine sense. However, since Uncle has already gone into the river, it's better to see for ourselves."
Hopefully, the stones at the bottom of the river will not disappoint the kindness of our senior brothers.
A moment later, Ye Jingchuan held up a stone and said, "Look, is this it?"
Mamma Mia!
There really are Void Stones at the bottom of the river!
Wenwen and her siblings all used their spiritual senses to investigate.
As expected, there were many stones of all sizes at the bottom of the river, including a lot of Void Stones. Now, the whole family's storage bags can be upgraded. When we get back, we'll ask my second uncle to refine a batch of spatial rings. The storage space will have to be several times larger than the current ones.
Good heavens! What incredible luck they had! They stumbled upon the Void Stone during their trip to Medicine King Valley. It was truly a worthwhile journey!
Haha, they're going to make a fortune.
Fortunately, the river provided cover, and the group walked along it nonchalantly for a while, pretending to admire the scenery while secretly pocketing the stones as they identified them.
This wave of fleecing almost caused the riverbed to collapse.
Ye Jingchuan pretended to lift a few pieces from the river, saying, "Alright, that's enough for now. We've carried that far enough back."
Several senior uncles said helplessly, "You're just like our grandmaster, either a block of wood or a stone. There's really no way to deal with you."
Ye Jingchuan chuckled sheepishly, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, my fellow martial uncles."
"Hahaha, even a silly nephew has his good points. Why are we laughing? We're too happy to be laughing!"
The group chuckled foolishly, each carrying a stone, and headed back.
The sun was almost setting when I returned to the house, and coincidentally, I ran into my master at the door.
The grandmaster's eyes showed doubt and confusion...
What kind of formation is this? A person is holding a large rock in their arms, and they are walking back in a line.
Those who know them recognize them as stones, but those who don't might think they're sitting in a row eating stones—it's like they've gone mad.
"What are you doing? What kind of trouble are you causing now?" the Grandmaster asked.
The three senior uncles shrugged. "Ask them, senior uncles. We don't know."
Wenwen winked at her grandmaster and said, "Grandmaster, this is a stone, you know what I mean, hehehe."
That standard laugh, like a mouse stealing lamp oil, perfectly captured her little bit of smugness.
There was nothing else the grandmaster didn't understand, so he didn't press further and brought up another matter.
