Chapter 820: Mid-Divine Tier 'Stone'!

There wasn’t really a reason for Bai Yunfei and the others to stay behind in Crushed Stone River. Now that their business had concluded there, the group took off for Black Cloud Valley. The younger generation was slightly tired due to their fights and attempts to absorb the Extreme King Pill fragrance, so the three Soul Kings enveloped them in a bubble of energy and took care of their flight back towards the Underworld School.

Likewise, there wasn’t much to do or talk about at the Underworld School. After a few words were exchanged between the two parties, the people from the Crafting School returned to their rooms to rest.

Bai Yunfei hadn’t said much on their way back to the Underworld School. He appeared to be thinking about something and so hardly said anything even when they got back. The most he said was just a few words of goodbye to Zheng Kai and the others before he shut himself up in his own room to rest.

Lian Lingmin looked a little concerned at how Bai Yunfei had been in such a rush to leave. “Does…Yunfei feel a little strange to you? He was so absent-minded earlier, do you think…he’s disappointed with him not being able to take in the Extreme King Pill fragrance?”

“Yunfei not participating in the final bout for the Extreme King Pills is a great shame. His talent is much better than ours. If he had taken in some of the Extreme King Pill fragrance, he definitely would’ve become a Soul King soon. Feeling disappointed is only natural…” Song Lin sighed, “We should try to avoid mentioning anything about the Extreme King Pills whenever he’s around just in case.”

……

Everyone was worrying for the wrong reasons. Bai Yunfei was absent-minded not because of disappointment. It was the exact opposite in fact. He was extremely impatient and excited for something in particular.

He branched off with Long Lan to head into his own room with Xiao Qi.

“Yunfei, what’s going on? You look like you’ve a big secret.”

Xiao Qi was, of course, able to sense the emotions Bai Yunfei was having all in thanks to the bond they had.

“Hehe…it’s a good one.” Bai Yunfei smiled excitedly, “I hadn’t the chance to look at it until now and its been killing me.”

“A good one?” Xiao Qi chirped, “What good one? Did you find something good in the pocket?”

“Take a look!”

Bai Yunfei nodded before fishing an object out from his robes for the bird to look at.

“Um…a rock?!” Chirped Xiao Qi. He stared at the rock incredulously, “Yunfei, you’re telling me this ‘good one’ is a rock? Are you crazy?”

“Hehe, this isn’t an ordinary rock…”

“Oh? What’s special about it?”

“It…” Bai Yunfei wavered off, “well, I’ll find out in a moment.”

“……”

Still confused, Xiao Qi gave Bai Yunfei one final look before allowing him to sit at the center table and study the ‘stone’ in his hand.

The stone was a gray-brownish one. About the size of a chicken egg and the shape of a small stamp, it could easily fit in Bai Yunfei’s hand. It was sleek and glossy on the surface without even a single marking, just like a stone eroded over the years by a running stream of water. There wasn’t even much to be noted about the stone when soulsense was used to look at it.

Bai Yunfei heaved a sigh as he studied the stone. Bai Yunfei’s eyes flashed with light as he grasped the stone, allowing for a wave of information to spread into his mind…

Once again, there was nothing new to see after a successful upgrade. Without anything to show for his troubles, Bai Yunfei sighed and continued.

But at that moment…

There was a faint voice.

A faint voice that was speaking in the room!

“Ah…how comfortable…”
