Su He Shizi was surprised and found it somewhat unbelievable.

Usually, when he came to the small space of the Beast Realm, luck only protected him during battles; when collecting things, there might be luck, but he felt nothing, at least he wouldn't find a small spiritual herb field right away.

Such obvious luck was last seen when catching the spiritual duck.

Both times, he was with people from Qin Yan Hou Fu.

Su He Shizi wondered if the faint luck of Qin Yan Hou Fu had enhanced his own, or if someone among them had high fortune; feeling neither was the case, he had a headache.

"You go dig up the spiritual herbs first," Su He Shizi waved his hand.

Regardless of whether it was luck, Su He Shizi dared not move; with such good luck, if he moved and disrupted the luck formation, what then? Forming a luck formation was no easy task.

Su Er Young Master took a few of his brothers and went to the small spiritual herb field, where several youths carefully dug up the herbs, having already unearthed two or three, showing great caution.

In Qin Bi's group, Qin Bi dug up the flame spiritual herb while Qin Xun dug up the others.

These small spiritual herbs were tiny, the smallest resembling green onion sprouts, pitifully small; they held little spiritual energy, but leaving them unharvested would only benefit others.

Items in the Beast Realm's small space were never owned; if you found them, you dug them up, not letting them grow for years just because they were small, or other cultivators would take them.

"What I dig is mine," Qin Bi said.

Qin Xun nodded: "Later, you pick from what I dig, and the rest are mine."

This brother was rare; Qin Bi wanted to cry again, her eyes filling with moisture.

Qin Xun sighed, his joy at finding the herbs diminishing: "Sigh, this habit is all thanks to He Yan and Qin He."

She didn't even call him cousin anymore, addressing He Yan directly.

Qin Bi truly couldn't hold back, tears of grievance flowing; Qin Xun took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Qin Bi couldn't handle even small things; she would rage when she shouldn't and cry when she shouldn't.

As for his own sister, Qin Xun felt a bit of bitterness in his heart; who would be like this normally? It was all because He Yan and Qin He made her angry.

Fearing one word might make Qin Bi's emotions collapse, Qin Xun changed the subject, asking: "What happened? Did we find the small spiritual herb field due to good luck, or because of the luck Su He Shizi carries?"

Qin Bi shook her head: "I don't know."

Qin Xun: "..."

But it was Qin Bi who made Su He Shizi sit there motionless.

"How did you think of making Su He Shizi sit there?" Qin Xun handed a flame spiritual herb to Qin Bi to play with, noting that Qin Bi's mind was not that of a god and her lifespan was damaged.

She might need to be raised like a child all over again.

"He carries luck, so naturally he is the center," Qin Bi carefully put away the flame spiritual herb; this one was slightly larger, bigger than bean sprouts; the small herbs in the field were truly tiny.

Qin Xun, carefully digging up herbs, lifted his head upon hearing this.

"I'll just follow my own reasoning," Qin Bi's sadness faded, and she smiled lightly: "I didn't expect such an unexpected gain, but I don't know if the small spiritual herb field was there from the start or due to luck."

Qin Xun also smiled: "Just follow your reasoning; regardless, as long as there is a gain, it's fine."

Qin Bi nodded; she thought the same. Their Qin Yan Hou Fu group had just entered cultivation, still far from immortality; finding good things and digging them up was enough, why worry so much?

"Instruct Su He Shizi," Qin Bi said: "Do not tell the eldest cousin or Qin He."

Qin Xun agreed; the one they guarded against was Qin He.

Qin Lang was young and lively, running over to take a look, checking the area of their herb field, then moving forward to help search, finding another dozen or so bean-sprout-sized herbs scattered around.

"Our herb field is the same," Qin Lang said: "We searched and found another dozen or so; my father and fourth uncle found another dozen, as did Rong Yan and Jiang Xu. Strangely, Su Er Young Master's side only had that one patch of herbs; searching further yielded nothing, and their field wasn't even as large as ours. What's going on? Isn't it the luck of Su Guogong Fu? How could they treat Su He Shizi's group so poorly?"

Regarding luck, everyone was confused!

If Su He Shizi's personal luck made them lucky, shouldn't Su Er Young Master have found a larger herb field with more scattered herbs nearby? Luck should be able to distinguish family members.

Qin Bi lowered her eyes, thinking for a moment, and instinctively thought of Qin He.

But Su He Shizi's group clearly wasn't with Qin He's group; their Qin Yan Hou Fu group hadn't even met Qin He, and Su He Shizi, being from Su Guogong Fu, was even less likely to have coincidentally met her.

Without interaction, Qin He couldn't benefit from the luck.

Qin He was with Qin Yan's team; Qin Bi's mind stirred, remembering that Su Guogong Fu was Qin Yan's maternal grandfather's family.

Qin Yan and Su He Shizi's luck complemented each other; Qin Bi chuckled, seeing this as the only reason.

With Qin Bi's chuckle, both Qin Xun and Qin Lang turned to look at her.

"Sister," Qin Lang asked: "What's going on?"

"I'm just guessing, it might not be true," Qin Bi told Qin Lang and Qin Xun what she thought: "The eldest cousin's maternal grandfather's family prospers with him; since he is with Qin He, perhaps it affected Su He Shizi's luck."

Qin Xun: "..."

Qin Lang: "..."

"We and Qin He are all from Qin Yan Hou Fu," Qin Xun somewhat believed Qin Bi, but asked: "If there is an effect, shouldn't it harm our group?"

"We ignore Qin He," Qin Bi said: "We stay away from her; our own luck has defenses."

Qin Bi was also troubled, sighing: "Sigh, who knows if there is any hindrance? Qin He's cultivation base is higher than ours, and she is a disciple of the Immortal Sect; we don't know if she benefited from our luck."

So, it was all wild guessing and not to be taken seriously.

Qin Bi told Qin Xun and Qin Lang just so they would know, not to be foolishly used by Qin He.

As for Su He Shizi's group, just instruct them not to tell Qin Yan and Qin He; nothing else could be said to avoid making them think you were deliberately bad-mouthing Qin He behind her back.

Relatives almost all knew that the fourth branch and Qin He were on bad terms; whatever you said, people would ponder it.

So, there was no need to say more.

Qin Bi and Qin Xun dug up fifty-two small herbs; Qin Lang and Qin Tang dug up sixty; Rong Yan and Jiang Xu found fifty-six; Qin Tan, Qin Di, and the young illegitimate son of the third branch found fifty.

Everyone returned to Su He Shizi's side, gathered together, and counted; Su Er Young Master had only dug up thirty-two herbs.

Moreover, when everyone took them out to look, Qin Bi and Qin Xun had dug up the most flame herbs; all were low-grade small herbs, yet flame herbs were rarer.

Su Er Young Master refused to believe it, went back, and searched the area again, but surprisingly found not a single seedling.
