Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 472 Full of Harvests

After this incident, the remaining members of the Xiao family were like frightened birds and beasts. They no longer dared to stay here any longer. They squeezed out of the crowd in shame, hurriedly rushed out of the Nebula Chamber of Commerce, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

This farce caused by the Xiao family was just a trivial episode in this barter conference.

In this world of immortal cultivation where the strong prey on the weak, no one will stand up for the person who dares to cause trouble on the territory of the Nebula Sect and dies.

The storm quickly subsided, and the barter conference soon returned to its previous bustle and bustle.

Li Zhi was also about to look for what he needed in this dazzling market, but was stopped by Shao Qi.

Li Zhi looked puzzled and turned to look at Shao Qi.

Shao Qi said with a rather proud look on his face, "Brother Li, there's no need to go through so much trouble."

After saying that, Shao Qi took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his voice, "Do you have anything used by monsters and ghosts? My Medicine King Valley will buy it at a high price!"

This shout was like the ringing of a huge bell. The powerful sound waves echoed back and forth in the spacious hall, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

The eyes of those cultivators who happened to be carrying such items lit up instantly when they heard the news of Yaowang Valley's acquisition.

Joy appeared on their faces, and they quickly gathered in the direction of Shao Qi and Li Zhi without hesitation.

In an instant, a group of people gathered around the two of them. Everyone was talking and introducing the treasures in their hands. The scene was very lively.

Li Zhi looked at this sudden scene, slightly stunned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

But Li Zhi soon understood that Yaowang Valley itself focuses on planting and alchemy, and all kinds of spiritual herbs and elixirs are indispensable for those who practice Taoism.

Not to mention Yaowang Valley, which is a major force and immortal sect with its own heritage. The quality of the spiritual herbs and elixirs it produces is more guaranteed.

Therefore, it is particularly popular.

Li Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up as he watched everyone take out various items that could be used to ward off monsters and ghosts.

He quickly and enthusiastically asked these people to line up and prepare to carefully check each one.

Among these numerous items, there were many that Li Zhi had never seen or heard of before.

Fortunately, he had Shao Qi, a professional from Yaowang Valley, by his side. Shao Qi was not only a disciple of Yaowang Valley, but also had been stationed in Heyun Market for a long time. He was knowledgeable and his experience was far beyond Li Zhi's reach.

Moreover, for some items, Li Zhi found it difficult to tell the authenticity at first glance, but Shao Qi could see through the mystery at a glance and easily distinguish the true from the false and the quality from the bad.

With Shao Qi's assistance, Li Zhi was able to select items much more smoothly.

Before long, he carefully selected a number of treasures suitable for monsters and ghosts from among the many items.

But Li Zhi knew in his heart that neither Shao Qi nor Cen Mu would let him pay for these things out of gratitude for saving his life.

However, Li Zhi was not an extremely greedy person, so when choosing, he deliberately avoided those rare and priceless items, and only picked some things with relatively reasonable prices and not too high values.

Shao Qi saw all of this, and his respect for Li Zhi increased a little more.

In his opinion, in the face of so many tempting rare treasures, Li Zhi was able to remain restrained and not be blinded by the interests, and only selected some items of moderate value. This was enough to show that Li Zhi was definitely not the kind of person who would forget his principles for the sake of profit.

Shao Qi walked forward and stopped a cultivator who was holding an infant soul flower in his hand but was rejected by Li Zhi.

He said, "I want this Infant Soul Flower."

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard Shao Qi's words. He knew very well how precious this Infant Soul Flower was. This spiritual flower was even rarer than the Dragon Blood Vine he had been thinking about before, and it was rarely seen in the world.

It was because Li Zhi considered that the price was too high that he suppressed his inner love and politely declined the other party.

Unexpectedly, Shao Qi actually kept the infant soul flower on the spot.

Shao Qi noticed Li Zhi's surprised expression, chuckled, and handed the Infant Soul Flower to Li Zhi, saying sincerely, "Brother Li, this Infant Soul Flower is extremely beneficial for treating evil spirits. Please accept it."

Shao Qi's generosity made Li Zhi feel a little embarrassed. He quickly declined, saying, "Brother Shao Qi, this is too expensive. I can't do it, I can't do it!"

Shao Qi, however, was resolute. Without further ado, he thrust the Infant Soul Flower into Li Zhi's hand and said earnestly, "Brother Li, if you truly regard me, Shao Qi, as a brother and a friend, then please accept it. Although this flower is precious, I, Shao Qi, can still afford it!"

As one of the important leaders of Heyunfang Market, Shao Qi usually earns a considerable amount of money just by collecting the monthly tributes from small vendors. His family is quite wealthy and naturally he is very rich.

Seeing Shao Qi's sincere words and firm attitude, Li Zhi stopped refusing.

After all, he himself really coveted the infant soul flower.

Li Zhi looked at Shao Qi solemnly and said sincerely, "In that case, Li Zhi will shamelessly accept it. Thank you, brother Shao Qi, for your generous gift! I will definitely remember this friendship in my heart."

Shao Qi saw that Li Zhi had finally accepted the Infant Soul Flower, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand and said generously, "Brother Li, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a look around, is there anything else you need? If so, we'll take them all. We'll make sure you return with a full load today."

Li Zhi chuckled and shook his head.

He had already picked up quite a few things, and the harvest was quite good. He had basically taken what he needed. Li Zhi was not a greedy person, and he knew when to stop, so he did not continue to collect other items from the people around him.

Seeing this, Shao Qi nodded slightly to show his understanding.

Then, he turned to those who had selected items from Li Zhi, signed a receipt on the spot, and promised, "Don't worry, everyone, you can take this receipt to the Medicine King Pavilion and exchange it for what you want."

Shao Qi represented Medicine King Valley in Heyunfang Market, and his identity and reputation were well known to everyone. Seeing this, everyone naturally did not worry that he would default on his debt. They happily took the receipt and left one after another.

Shao Qi looked at Li Zhi's satisfied face and suggested with a smile: "Brother Li, you have achieved what you wished for today and have gained a lot. Would you please do me the honor of treating Shao Qi to a meal and a drink so that we two brothers can enjoy a good drink?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi laughed and said, "Why not? Brother Shao Qi, please lead the way!"

After saying that, the two smiled at each other and walked out of the Nebula Chamber of Commerce side by side.

 …

The Xiao family mansion has a deep courtyard, and the quietness exudes a sense of majesty.

The carved beams and painted buildings cast mottled shadows under the caress of sunlight, adding a touch of solemnity.

The current head of the Xiao family, Xiao Heliang, was sitting in his study, looking down at a letter that had just been expedited from Heyunfang City.

He scanned the contents of the letter word by word.

When he saw one of his disciples rashly acting in the Nebula Chamber of Commerce, openly breaking the rules, and ultimately being killed on the spot by Ning Jiuan, his expression remained calm, and his eyelids didn't even twitch.

However, when his eyes fell on the paragraph in the letter that mentioned the candle that had escaped for many years, the usually calm him couldn't help but twitch his eyes slightly.

Xiao Heliang sighed lightly, placed the letter gently on the table, and then slowly stood up.

He walked to the shelf nearby with steady but slightly heavy steps.

The shelf was filled with all kinds of rare artifacts, but at this moment, Xiao Heliang only had eyes for an inconspicuous box.

He reached out and took the box.

When the box was opened, a simply carved wooden waist badge was quietly placed inside. The badge was made of ordinary material and seemed out of place in this study room full of rare treasures.

Xiao Heliang slowly picked up the badge and his eyes fell on the two words "Zhu Qi" engraved on it.

A complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Then he slowly turned the badge over and saw the word "Han" engraved on the other side.

When he saw this word, Xiao Heliang's hands trembled slightly uncontrollably.
