"Indeed! If all the people are gone, what's the use of saving so much money!"
"Fellow Daoist Li speaks with great wisdom. Rather than saving this money, it's better to purchase a few life-saving pills for oneself. It's best if they are never used, but if they are, it's equivalent to gaining an extra life! As long as life remains, there is hope!"
"Cultivation is inherently a path of nine deaths and one life. Even Fellow Daoist Li is starting to consider his own safety, how can we, whose strength is inferior to Fellow Daoist Li, not consider our own safety!"
The cultivators from the minor Yan districts once again showed yearning in their eyes, the kind of yearning that comes with shopping.
Even those cultivators who, as Huang Anchang had previously mentioned, had never purchased pills before, felt a stir of desire.
Under Li Qi's indoctrination.
It seemed that the cultivators from the minor Yan districts had completely understood the greatest sorrow in the world: dying with money unspent.
Furthermore, the cultivators from the minor Yan districts all knew that this time they were purchasing pills at an 80% discount, and the next time they came, it would be at full price!
"Fellow Daoist, we would also like to purchase more pills."
The plane lords from the minor Yan districts crowded forward again, and even Xu Tianzong was among them.
This time, the pills purchased by the plane lords from the minor Yan districts were all, as Li Qi had suggested, pills for rapid recovery of injuries in a short period, or pills to temporarily boost strength by overexerting their potential.
"Slow down, one by one."
Huang Anchang also appropriately stepped out to maintain order.
Before long, the plane lords from the minor Yan districts, including Li Qi, had stated their required pills, which Huang Anchang recorded one by one.
When the plane lords from the minor Yan districts had finished stating their needs, Li Qi, who had already finished first and was waiting in a corner of the courtyard, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes.
It seemed that his brainwashing had been a bit too effective. The total quantity of pills these plane lords from the minor Yan districts were purchasing seemed to have exceeded his imagination.
However, Li Qi also knew that the reason his brainwashing was so effective was likely because the plane lords from the minor Yan districts were all aware of Li Qi's own strength.
After all, even a powerful expert like Li Qi, who could deal with cultivators at the ninth level of the Void Integration stage, worried about his own safety. Therefore, how could those with weaker strength not plan for their own safety?
Coupled with Li Qi's repeatedly displayed immense combat power, the plane lords from the minor Yan districts held a considerable degree of reverence for Li Qi.
Under such reverence, Li Qi's words were naturally more readily accepted.
If it were someone else speaking, it might have had some effect, but perhaps not as much as Li Qi's words.
Suddenly, Li Qi couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Damn it, he had miscalculated. The resources he had emptied out before were nowhere near nine-tenths of these guys' resources.
They likely still had a large sum of resources hidden away.
Fortunately, fortunately, with this move of his, he should have managed to empty out quite a bit more of their resources.
Li Qi thought to himself.
However, this was probably the extreme limit of what he could extract. If he tried one more time, other methods would likely be inappropriate and might even arouse suspicion.
Just then, after listening to the needs of the cultivators from the minor Yan districts, the First Core Spirit Puppet's voice, tinged with a hint of difficulty, rang out.
"Fellow Daoists, the pills you require this time are still a bit too many. I don't have that many in stock."
"No rush, no rush, we are all patient and willing to wait."
The matter ended perfectly. The First Core Spirit Puppet and Huang Anchang departed once more.
The plane lords from the minor Yan districts became expectant again.
Even this time, they felt no heartache despite spending a considerable amount of resources on pills.
Because under Li Qi's indoctrination.
They believed that what they were buying were not just pills, but a guarantee of their own safety.
"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Li. If not for Fellow Daoist Li's words today, I would have still been thinking of frugally saving resources. If I were unlucky, these resources might have ended up benefiting others."
"Indeed, indeed. How can one be stingy with money when it comes to matters of life and death? Life is paramount in all things. The greatest sorrow in this world is dying with money unspent, truly, truly!"
"No wonder Fellow Daoist Li has achieved his current strength. It was not easily won. Fellow Daoist Li's mindset is indeed enlightened. The money spent today was truly worth it!"
While the plane lords from the minor Yan districts were enthusiastically conversing.
Li Qi, however, was hiding alone in a corner of the small courtyard, a strange smile playing on his lips.
But suddenly, Li Qi seemed to sense something, and his gaze slowly became peculiar.
It turned out that the First Core Spirit Puppet and Huang Anchang had already left the Void Black Market.
At this moment, the two had already put a considerable distance between themselves and the Void Black Market.
Under normal circumstances, if there were no further matters, they would have prepared to part ways, with Huang Anchang awaiting the First Core Spirit Puppet's next message.
However, this time, the situation had a slight change.
Huang Anchang suddenly spoke.
"Fellow Daoist, that, uh, when you prepare the pills this time, could you also prepare a few Life Recovery Pills and Blood Severing Soul Extinguishing Pills for me as well, as life-saving medicine."
"?"
Under Li Qi's control, the First Core Spirit Puppet sent out a question mark, looking at Huang Anchang with surprise.
Good heavens, another one has been hoodwinked. This is unexpectedly suffocating.
Li Qi had not expected that he had originally intended to brainwash his dear fellow Daoists with great wealth potential.
But in the end, his long-time partner was also brainwashed.
"What, you want to buy some too?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Anchang nodded and said seriously.
"Yes, I think what Fellow Daoist Li from the minor Yan district said earlier was very accurate. Dying with money unspent is indeed the greatest sorrow. I really should consider my own safety."
Moreover, he was a first-level dealer selling imitation pills. Although he was making a fortune now and the Azure Flame Medicine Pavilion had not made any moves, it was not because the Azure Flame Medicine Pavilion was inactive, but simply because they couldn't find Huang Anchang.
Therefore, if Huang Anchang made even a single mistake, experts from the Azure Flame Medicine Pavilion would likely be dispatched immediately to deal with him.
But one cannot always walk by the river without getting their feet wet. Under Li Qi's words, Huang Anchang felt a bit panicked.
Therefore, playing it safe, it was only right to buy some life-saving pills to avoid regret if something truly happened.
"Since you want some too, I'll prepare a bit more this time. As for the price, it'll be the same as usual, I won't give you any discount."
"Alright. Thank you, Fellow Daoist."
Huang Anchang nodded upon hearing this, unconcerned.
The price he obtained from the First Core Spirit Puppet was already the lowest. Compared to selling to others outside, there were definitely no middlemen making a profit, because he was that middleman.
Besides, he had earned quite a bit of money over the years. Although those pills were quite expensive, they were not crippling.
After their exchange, their figures disappeared, and they parted ways.
And in the Void Black Market, in the small courtyard where the cultivators from the minor Yan districts were located.
Li Qi, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly stood up and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.
"Fellow Daoist Li, where are you going?" Gu Mengping's voice rang out.
"Nothing much, just a small matter to handle, and I'll go out for a bit."
