"My elixirs!"
"Ahhhh! My elixirs! Give me back my elixirs! Those were all my savings!"
Seeing that the elixirs, which had consumed nearly all of their savings and even some funds borrowed from friendly fellow cultivators, were directly snatched away.
At this moment, the enraged shouts of this group of peak Void Return cultivators erupted.
But in the very next second.
The potent pressure belonging to the Dao Integration stage instantly intensified, and the panicked cries were abruptly silenced.
Each peak Void Return cultivator became like a duck with its neck squeezed, daring not to utter a sound.
And then, from the two chief guards of Cangyan Medicine Pavilion.
Chen Fang held those elixirs in one hand.
Simultaneously, his gaze coldly swept over the Dao Integration stage cultivator who had partnered with Li Qi.
"If you can't understand this, then perhaps you can understand these counterfeit elixirs from my Cangyan Medicine Pavilion."
Caught red-handed, the Dao Integration cultivator's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
But immediately, he gritted his teeth again, remaining silent, not uttering a word.
After all, the spirit stones he had earned as a secondhand dealer for Li Qi during this period were more than he could have saved in centuries.
He was unwilling to expose his primary life-bound spirit puppet this time and lose future opportunities to profit.
Furthermore.
As a Dao Integration stage cultivator, though he was only newly ascended.
If they truly wanted his life, it wouldn't be that easy.
As expected, in the next moment, the Dao Integration cultivator gradually relaxed.
Because it unfolded exactly as he had guessed.
Seeing that he remained resolute and refused to budge, Chen Fang and the other Dao Integration stage cultivators from Cangyan Medicine Pavilion showed expressions of helplessness.
After all, this Dao Integration cultivator was not the mastermind. Killing him would be meaningless, and it might even lead to considerable losses for them due to his retaliation.
But in the next moment.
Chen Fang's eyes flickered again, and his gaze shifted to the group of peak Void Return cultivators nearby.
"Does anyone here know the whereabouts of the person selling counterfeit elixirs of my Cangyan Medicine Pavilion?"
However, regarding this, the Dao Integration elixirs held by this group of peak Void Return cultivators had just been snatched away.
Since they were fortunate not to have been cursed at given the other party's strength, how could they possibly say more?
Chen Fang's expression remained unchanged.
"If anyone among you is willing to tell me the whereabouts of the person selling counterfeit elixirs of my Cangyan Medicine Pavilion, then I will return all these elixirs to you."
Upon hearing this, the Dao Integration cultivator who had partnered with Li Qi instantly changed his relaxed expression.
As expected, in the next moment.
Among the peak Void Return cultivators, several showed a flicker of struggle in their expressions.
But then, they glanced at the Dao Integration elixirs in Chen Fang's hand.
These Dao Integration elixirs were essentially elixirs they had barely afforded to buy with their entire fortune.
"L-lord, if I tell you where the person selling counterfeit elixirs is, will you truly return those elixirs to us?"
Hearing this, Chen Fang did not speak. He casually grabbed a small wooden box containing Dao Integration elixirs and tossed it back.
"Speak..."
...
Another colossal sum of wealth.
Li Qi held two spatial rings quietly in his hands.
These were naturally the Will of Heaven and spirit stones he had earned during this period.
"Although recent transactions need to be discreet, this strategy of using dealer representatives is quite good. It seems I can find a few more trustworthy people in the future to be my representatives."
Li Qi murmured to himself.
Due to the vigilance of Cangyan Medicine Pavilion,
He was forced to find other cultivators to help him sell.
It was originally a reluctant measure.
But after using it for a while, Li Qi discovered that although the price of his elixirs would be slightly lower for the dealer representatives,
They would purchase a considerable quantity at once.
With sales volume piling up, not only was he not earning less spirit stones than before, but he was actually earning more.
Moreover, it was more reliable in terms of safety and convenience than before.
And this was only under the circumstance that Li Qi had found just one person to represent him in selling elixirs.
If, over time, he found more cultivators willing to cooperate and sell elixirs for him,
The speed at which he could earn spirit stones would likely double.
Li Qi seemed to have gained a new understanding of earning spirit stones.
Working to earn was the inferior option. To truly earn a fortune,
First, one must engage in business, and second, one must have others work for them.
Thinking thus, Li Qi prepared to feed the Will of Heaven in his spatial ring again.
But suddenly.
Li Qi sensed something, and his expression shifted slightly.
Outside the Void Black Market, on a certain small meteor.
The first life-bound spirit puppet, hiding within, suddenly opened its eyes.
Four auras of Dao Integration stage triple-heaven were converging on this small meteor from four directions.
The first life-bound spirit puppet's complexion instantly changed.
Without a doubt, the dealer must have also been captured.
Without hesitation.
The first life-bound spirit puppet intended to flee directly in one direction.
"You escaped last time, and you still want to escape this time? Stay where you are!"
Chen Fang's icy voice echoed.
On his person, the potent aura of Dao Integration triple-heaven surged, striking towards the first life-bound spirit puppet at the center of the small meteor.
The crisis that the first life-bound spirit puppet was about to face was not just this.
As Chen Fang made his move.
From the other three directions, the other three Cangyan Medicine Pavilion cultivators, also of Dao Integration triple-heaven, simultaneously attacked.
Facing the combined assault of four individuals, even other cultivators of the same Dao Integration triple-heaven stage might not be able to withstand it for long.
Let alone the first life-bound spirit puppet, whose cultivation was only at Dao Integration stage one-heaven.
And just as the first life-bound spirit puppet was about to be captured alive.
Suddenly, Chen Fang seemed to sense something and looked in a certain direction.
In that direction, two familiar figures appeared again.
These were precisely the second and third life-bound spirit puppets who had covered for the first life-bound spirit puppet's escape last time.
A cold glint appeared on Chen Fang's face, and he couldn't help but sneer.
"Coming again? This time, it won't be as easy for you to escape."
They were no longer just two people now.
With their group of four Dao Integration triple-heaven cultivators, these three Dao Integration stage one-heaven cultivators showing up before them was essentially equivalent to delivering themselves up.
But in the next moment, before Chen Fang's smile could fully bloom, his expression instantly changed dramatically.
Even his eyes widened slightly.
Because he clearly discovered that these two, the second and third life-bound spirit puppets who had come to rescue.
The aura on the second life-bound spirit puppet's body suddenly erupted and expanded.
This was clearly the precursor to self-destruction!
"Boom!"
A violent explosion resounded.
Terrifying fluctuations spread out,
And that small meteor was directly reduced to dust.
The explosion of a single Dao Integration stage cultivator, though only at Dao Integration stage one-heaven.
Its power was still unimaginably vast.
Chen Fang and the other three Dao Integration triple-heaven cultivators were directly exposed to the fierce explosion and were blasted away.
All four appeared somewhat disheveled, and it took a while before they recovered.
At the same time, their gazes turned towards a distant direction.
They found that the first life-bound spirit puppet, who should have been surrounded, had already escaped the encirclement.
Just as they were about to pursue further.
But in the next moment.
The same sense of danger arose in the hearts of all four.
Turning their heads to look.
They saw that the other life-bound spirit puppet who had come to rescue.
A similar surging aura of danger emerged.
This is insane... another self-destruction?
"Bang!"
