Chapter 2287: Chapter 2287: To the Vast Sea Forest!

"Tsk, tsk tsk, so many people! What’s this Madam City Lord planning to do?"

Lin Caisang clicked her tongue a few times, then instinctively turned to glance at her husband, before shifting her gaze to her father.

"Dad, did the previous Madam City Lord of Sky City often summon alchemists and herbalists to gather rare medicinal herbs?"

"Never,"

Lin Baizhong thought for a moment and shook his head in response.

When would the Madam City Lord of Sky City ever need to summon people to gather herbs? Is there anything that Sky City doesn’t have?

Even if they didn’t have something, people would gladly present it to them with open arms. Why bother organizing people to spend time and energy searching?

"Perhaps during the days we were away, something happened in Sky City," he said.

But these details would only become clear once they arrived in Sky City.

"How about this: once we arrive in Sky City, Sangsang, you and Zimo can go take care of your tasks, while your mom and I head back and try to gather some reliable information for you in the meantime?"

He thought this idea seemed decent.

But then, as his gaze landed on his precious daughter’s belly, he began to feel that his suggestion might not be very practical.

"Did they mention where they plan to go?" he asked.

"Yes, Sea Expansive Forest," Lin Caisang explained to them.

"Sea Expansive Forest?!"

Hearing those words, Lin Baizhong burst out in surprise.

"Sea Expansive Forest belongs exclusively to Sky City—ordinary herbalists wouldn’t even be able to step inside. Rumor has it that the forest hosts many ’once-in-a-lifetime’ medicinal herbs. Many people not from Sky City would pay a fortune to get in, but still wouldn’t have the chance."

And yet this time, Madam City Lord was personally organizing a group to enter the Sea Expansive Forest!

"Is she aiming to harvest some extraordinary medicinal herbs?"

"We’ll know what herbs they want once we get there," Lin Caisang said, staring into the distance with determination.

Now that a new mission had arrived, they needed to leave Ziyan Kingdom as soon as possible and head to Sky City. As for Emperor Ziyan’s matters, they could leave those to Prince Niu. The rest of them would simply bring along Yin Baiqing and continue venturing across their world.

...

That very day, Zhe Jue informed Yin Baiqing to prepare himself and join them on the journey.

The following day, as scheduled, everyone departed, riding their flying mounts towards Sky City. Ten majestic flying mounts took off together, dazzling the onlookers.

Meanwhile, Sky City was bustling with activity. Alchemists, herbalists, and strong figures from all across Illusion Continent were converging on Sky City, all eager for a chance to explore the Sea Expansive Forest.

After a ten-day journey, the group finally arrived in Sky City.

Lin Baizhong and the others went directly to the Commanding Mansion, while Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang headed to one of the city’s inns. It took considerable effort before they managed to secure a room to stay in.

"Phew!"

They opened the door and stepped inside. Lin Caisang plopped herself onto a chair and let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"Zimo, aren’t there just a ridiculous number of people? Are Illusion Continent’s alchemists and herbalists really as countless as grains of sand?"

Most inns in Sky City were already fully booked. They’d initially wanted to stay at an inn with a moderate reputation—not too extravagant, but not downtrodden either—but even the mid-tier inns were full. And the lower-tier ones? They were packed too.

Their only option was the exorbitantly priced high-end inns.

For the average person, even a single night here would be enough to make their wallets ache.

"It’ll still require layers of filtering," Sui Zimo said, as he handed her a cup of milk he’d prepared.
