At Penguin Pharmacy, Yin Chuan, having concluded his business, soon departed the Void Black Market.
Within the Void Black Market, the atmosphere that had been somewhat suppressed by Yin Chuan’s arrival gradually eased.
Meanwhile, the first Natal Spirit Puppet, watching Yin Chuan’s retreating back, muttered to itself.
"To be at the Tribulation Transcending stage, how can he be so poor? He even wanted to use some damn opportunity to strike in exchange for pills. How can an opportunity to strike compare to the resources the main body can earn?"
If others heard this, that an opportunity for a Tribulation Transcending stage expert to strike would be equated to a scam, and twice at that, the managers of the other shops would probably roll their eyes and curse the first Natal Spirit Puppet for being unappreciative.
"I should inform the main body about this matter."
With this thought, the first Natal Spirit Puppet directly synchronized everything that had just transpired to its main body, Li Qi, who was in the Earth Void Realm.
...
In the Earth Void Realm.
"Yin Chuan from the Yin Zong District actually came to my Penguin Pharmacy to customize pills?"
Li Qi, basking in the sun, suddenly opened his eyes. Having just received the message from the first Natal Spirit Puppet, he wore a look of slight surprise.
From the synchronized memory, it appeared that Yin Chuan from the Yin Zong District had come to buy pills and wanted to buy them on credit.
It was only because his Tribulation Transcending stage cultivation level was there, providing a guarantee, that such a thing was possible. If it were any other cultivator, they would never have allowed credit, even if beaten to death.
No money? No money, then go back and gather it, and then come back for the pills.
However, according to the memory synchronized by the first Natal Spirit Puppet, there were no conflicts in this transaction with Yin Chuan.
There was no incident of, "I, a Tribulation Transcending stage expert, deigning to have you, Penguin Pharmacy, refine pills for me, and you dare to ask me for money."
At least, the dignity of this first Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator was maintained, and he was not a bandit wandering in the Void Land.
"Since there are no unexpected issues, then refine them quickly. Oh, right, return here one day. I will synchronize the new realm for you, and also bring back the resources earned."
A faint smile appeared on Li Qi’s face. He sent a final message to the two Natal Spirit Puppets in the Void Black Market and then paid them no further mind.
Stretching lazily, Li Qi, bathed in sunlight, let out a yawn.
These days of mortal life were truly enjoyable for him.
This was something he could never experience alone in the Heavenly Dao Space.
Moreover, Li Qi discovered that although he wasn’t constantly in seclusion out of boredom like he used to be in the Heavenly Dao Space, his cultivation speed while living among mortals in the Earth Void Realm hadn't slowed down much.
He even had more time to experiment with the attribute points that his system had given him over time.
This brought a lot more joy to Li Qi's otherwise monotonous life.
And his two Natal Spirit Puppets in the Void Black Market were also very efficient.
The day Li Qi commanded them to return, they were back in the Earth Void Realm within a few days.
This time, they brought back a vast amount of resources accumulated over many years of earning.
At the same time, Li Qi also regenerated the two Natal Spirit Puppets, raising them to the realm of Dao Integration seventh heaven. This would further ensure the safety of Penguin Pharmacy in the Void Black Market in the future.
As for Yin Chuan, if he dared to abandon his dignity and default on the payment for the pills later, the self-detonation of the two Dao Integration seventh heaven Natal Spirit Puppets would likely leave Yin Chuan severely injured, if not dead.
And it was precisely because the two Natal Spirit Puppets returned that Li Qi once again set foot in the Heavenly Dao Space, a place he hadn't visited in over a decade.
The moment Li Qi returned to the Heavenly Dao Space, two small chubby hands materialized on the dome of the Heavenly Dao Space, attempting to reach out towards Li Qi.
Concurrently, the joyous intent of the Heavenly Dao Will was transmitted to Li Qi.
"Snuggle!" (✺w✺)
It was clear that after not seeing Li Qi, their benefactor, for over a decade, the Heavenly Dao Will of the Earth Void Realm missed him dearly and was overjoyed.
"Less nonsense, eat heartily!"
Li Qi, however, was unfazed. With a flick of his finger, a spatial ring filled with Heavenly Dao Will flew from his fingertip.
In an instant, the two small chubby hands that had been reaching for Li Qi changed direction and snatched the spatial ring Li Qi had thrown.
Pouting is indeed effective! (*^▽^*)
This thought flashed through the mind of the Heavenly Dao Will of the Earth Void Realm.
Fully satisfied, the Heavenly Dao Will of the Earth Void Realm completely ignored Li Qi and dedicated itself to devouring the fresh Heavenly Dao that had just been delivered from the Void Black Market.
"Burp..."
Li Qi was long accustomed to his greedy pig abandoning him the moment it encountered food, and he did not blame it.
As usual, while the Heavenly Dao Will of the Earth Void Realm devoured Heavenly Dao, he used his authority as the Plane Lord to sense its strength.
It was still at the Dao Integration ninth heaven. As for how much Heavenly Dao Will was still lacking, Li Qi could only perceive it as a bottomless abyss.
In the decade since he left the Heavenly Dao Space, the strength of his Heavenly Dao Will had not grown significantly.
It was too much; he didn't know how many more years it would take to feed it.
With a sigh, Li Qi left the Heavenly Dao Space and returned to the Earth Void Realm.
The peaceful days continued.
And more than two months later, the Natal Spirit Puppets from the Void Black Market once again sent a message to Li Qi.
The specific content of the message was that the pills requested by Yin Chuan, the strongest in the Yin Zong District, had been refined.
Furthermore, Yin Chuan had once again come to the Void Black Market and completed the transaction, paying off the promised remuneration in full at one time.
Great cultivators of the Tribulation Transcending stage were indeed trustworthy.
Li Qi nodded slightly at this thought.
At the same time, he felt a sense of regret.
If that fellow named Yin Chuan had wanted to default, it would have been great.
That way, he could have earned more money.
