I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 615 - 595: Outsiders, Out!

The young master from the Yuan family was not in good health and spent years bedridden. On the day he found the stone, he had been feeling particularly gloomy, so with the support of his attendants, he went outdoors to brighten his mood and happened upon the stone.

He believed it might be a piece of jade because when he held it in his palm, he felt a unique comfort throughout his body. Thus, he wore it on his person.

After that, his health gradually improved. Later, he married and had children, and the item continued to be handed down as a family heirloom through the generations, even as dynasties changed.

Seasons shifted and time flew by, and the stone was eventually hung around the neck of Yuan Hengzhi’s grandfather. Yuan Hengzhi had been frail as a child, often suffering from inexplicable fevers, but once he wore the stone, his body started to grow stronger day by day.

Of course, only Yuan Hengzhi’s grandfather knew about this within the Yuan family. However, the old man had passed away, and how the stone was originally found had ceased to be mentioned over the years.

Even Yuan Hengzhi himself had forgotten the occasional stories his grandfather used to tell him.

In any case, this was a valuable heirloom, beneficial to any family member who was unwell.

But these details are an aside.

Moving on, after the Zhang Family elder woke up, he was pleasantly surprised to find himself in a place he recognized well.

He knew it all too well, in fact. In recent years, he often stayed there with Wu Hong and several other Zhang Family elders, and even He Xiuyu and Qiao Qingyu had visited.

What was strange, though, was the absence of Energy Stones—there was no altar they had meticulously arranged for the stones.

Yet, it seemed to be the site of a naturally occurring formation.

The place was exceptionally quiet, and the Zhang Family elder did not dare step into it immediately, furrowing his brow in thought, wondering what exactly was going on. Despite his confusion, he couldn’t deny feeling a deep appreciation for such an extraordinary experience and did not feel too panicked or fearful.

He had other concerns now. He thought, since this door had opened, he might soon leave this space or perhaps vanish from it altogether. In any case, before he took his last breath, he resolved to gather as many stones as he could.

Even if he perished, his family had other descendants, especially Wu Hong, who would continue leading the Zhang Family forward. After settling his intent, the Zhang Family elder began to dig for stones with all his might, using their outer garments to carry the stones and then placing them in the middle of the underground cellar. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Meanwhile, He Xiuyu suddenly widened his eyes in an expression rarely seen on this reserved and composed man.

He quickly turned and called over to Qiao Qingyu, who had been studying the west wall on the opposite side.

Qiao Qingyu hurried over, standing next to He Xiuyu. At that moment, an unknown material seemed to faintly reveal a slit in the wall. Behind the slit was a glow of light, and through the crack, they could clearly see the Zhang Family elder digging with a dagger.

Qiao Qingyu, "..."

The scene was rather horrifying.

He Xiuyu and Qiao Qingyu instinctively held their breaths. It was apparent that even when the Zhang Family elder paused to rest and scope out his surroundings, he did not see the two of them. They sighed a slight relief, but for caution’s sake, still refrained from speaking.

The reality before them informed the pair that the missing Zhang Family elder had appeared inside the Space Device. So, was this related to those Energy Stones again?

But what should they do now?

The two of them were uncertain of the consequences that the old man’s tireless digging of Energy Stones might bring.

They watched as the Zhang Family elder quickly carried a bundle of stones toward a small door-like area opposite them. From their distant vantage point, the details were unclear.

But that place was likely another world, different from this one.

Where could that other world be?

Qiao Qingyu really wanted to step through and take a look, and at that moment, she truly didn’t care if the Zhang Family elder knew she had access to this world. Since he could enter, naturally, others might as well.

Who knew where this was.

However, the two could only peer at the opposite space through the small crack; they were unable to do anything else, definitely not cross over.

Unable to resist any longer, Qiao Qingyu prepared to use her telekinesis to try and make the elder leave.
