Shi Yue agreed without a second thought. He only wanted to use this opportunity to give Murong Xiaoxiao a hand.
If she could secure an order for Rare Spirit Herbs, Murong Xiaoxiao would earn herself a merit, making it easier for her to establish herself in the future.
"Very well. You seem rather busy today, so we won't keep you. Keep in touch with Martial Nephew Murong when you can. You young people should spend more time getting to know one another."
Shi Yue smiled and agreed. Murong Xiaoxiao's heart felt sweet.
He personally escorted the three women downstairs, then sent a voice transmission to Li Hongshang. "Senior Li, come upstairs. There's something I'd like to discuss with you."
Li Hongshang smiled and nodded. Taking a deep breath, she followed Shi Yue upstairs with Li Qianqian and Li Sisi, watched by everyone.
When they reached a certain spot on the Second Floor, a several-zhang-wide cloud of five-colored mist appeared out of thin air beneath their feet. It carried them and Shi Yue to the ninth floor.
Li Hongshang was secretly astonished. The Immortal Herb Palace was protected by layers upon layers of restrictions, and it wasn't convenient to set up multiple arrays in the same place. Shi Yue certainly wouldn't have gone out of his way to set up a cloud-ladder array. This must have been a restriction attached to another formation.
Generally speaking, the more restrictions an array had, the higher its grade and the greater its power.
Upon reaching the ninth floor, Li Hongshang habitually released her divine sense, but as soon as it touched the stone walls, an invisible barrier blocked it.
That didn't surprise her.
Only four people were on the ninth floor: Shi Yue, Li Hongshang, Li Qianqian, and Li Sisi.
Shi Yue said nothing.
