Chapter 167 This time, I'm really almost drained dry

Hearing this, Gu Mengping didn't say much. If it were someone else, they might have been asked to be careful, but for Li Qi, with his strength, there were few people in the Void Black Market who could match him.

"Is that so? Daoist Li, remember to come back early. Don't miss the next visit from the imitation pill merchant."

"Got it, I won't miss it."

Li Qi waved his hand casually and then opened the courtyard gate and walked out.

After leaving the courtyard, Li Qi glanced back at the courtyard gate. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

How could he miss the next visit from the imitation pill merchant? He was going to see the first natal spirit puppet that refined pills.

With a flash, Li Qi left the Void Black Market.

Not long after, Li Qi had already arrived at a certain meteor outside the Void Black Market, where the first natal spirit puppet had been waiting.

Seeing Li Qi arrive, the first natal spirit puppet's fingers flicked over the spatial ring in his hand, and a metallic card emitting a faint blue light appeared in his hand.

Handing the admission ticket to the Azure Blue Auction House to Li Qi, Li Qi felt the metallic texture of the blue card in his hand, a smile appearing on his face.

His purpose for coming this time was naturally to get the admission ticket from the first natal spirit puppet, especially since there were too many eyes and ears in the courtyard before.

"I've given you the admission ticket. I need to go refine pills now."

The diligent first natal spirit puppet was unwilling to waste any time and prepared to leave immediately.

"Wait."

Hearing this, Li Qi called out to the first natal spirit puppet.

"Is there anything else, Main Body?"

"There's still some time before the Azure Blue Auction House opens. I'll refine the pills with you."

"Refine pills with me? Are you serious?"

Hearing this, the first natal spirit puppet looked at Li Qi with surprise in his eyes.

He was currently in an intelligent autonomous state.

He knew his Main Body well. This kind of dirty and tiresome work was usually done by him, the natal spirit puppet.

However, despite his grumbling, even when acting autonomously, the core will of the natal spirit puppet was to prioritize Li Qi's interests.

"Don't look at me like that. The sooner we refine the pills, the sooner we can trade and get the resources."

Li Qi said.

The natal spirit puppet nodded upon hearing this.

The two found a secluded meteor and began to refine pills quickly.

In just a few days, the pills required by the Plane Lords of the Minor Expansion Zone were refined.

Seeing this, Li Qi didn't linger. He instructed the first natal spirit puppet to contact Huang Anchang.

He then returned to the courtyard where the cultivators from the Minor Expansion Zone of the Void Black Market were staying.

Seeing Li Qi return, the other cultivators from the Minor Expansion Zone didn't ask much. After all, everyone had their own secrets.

About half a day after Li Qi's return, there was another knock on the door.

The visitor was the long-awaited imitation pill merchant, Huang Anchang. However, the first natal spirit puppet did not appear this time.

Huang Anchang's transactions with everyone were quickly concluded.

Li Qi also publicly traded pills with Huang Anchang for a considerable amount of resources.

As for his own insignificant resource transactions and the intermediary fees he allowed Huang Anchang to earn, Li Qi didn't care.

Compared to this transaction with the other cultivators from the Minor Expansion Zone, his small amount of wasted intermediary fees was a mere drop in the ocean.

After trading the pills, Huang Anchang left quickly. Before leaving, he politely said a few words, praising the pills and suggesting they could come to the Void Black Market to buy from him again next time.

After seeing Huang Anchang off.

The Plane Lords of the Minor Expansion Zone, holding the life-saving pills that ensured their safety, revealed expressions of joy.

This included Xu Tianzong.

"Now that the pill trading is finished, should we return to the Minor Expansion Zone?"

A Plane Lord from the Minor Expansion Zone couldn't help but ask.

The Void Black Market was always too oppressive. During their stay in the Void Black Market, for safety, they, the Plane Lords, even went out in groups, fearing being targeted.

Now that their tasks were almost complete, many Plane Lords from the Minor Expansion Zone were already planning to return.

Everyone turned their gaze to Xu Tianzong.

A hint of contemplation appeared in Xu Tianzong's eyes. After a moment, he spoke.

"If none of you have any other matters, then rest for another day, and we will set off for the Minor Expansion Zone tomorrow."

Upon hearing Xu Tianzong's words, the Plane Lords of the Minor Expansion Zone present all showed smiles.

Then, Xu Tianzong's gaze turned to Li Qi.

"Daoist Li, what about you? Are you planning to return with us, or will you be staying longer?"

Li Qi feigned a moment of thought before saying.

"You can go back first. I, on the other hand, need to stay in the Void Black Market for a while longer to handle other matters."

Hearing this, Xu Tianzong didn't ask further. With Li Qi's strength, he would be safe alone in the Void Black Market.

With the return journey mostly discussed, the atmosphere in the courtyard immediately became relaxed.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door from outside.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Who is it?"

Gu Mengping stepped forward to ask.

He heard a voice from the door.

"Are the Daoist friends residing in this courtyard from the Minor Expansion Zone? I am from the Azure Blue Auction House and have come specifically to visit Daoist Xu Tianzong."
