"If you are not ordering pills, then I must ask you to leave. Besides pills, our Penguin Medicine Pavilion offers no other services."
Li Qi said indifferently, showing no concern for the Mahayana stage cultivator before him.
At the same time, information about the Mahayana stage cultivator had already appeared in his mind.
He was Li Qiansheng, one of the handful of Mahayana stage cultivators in the Qingrao Domain, and the Plane Lord of the Daoqian Minor World.
According to information Li Qi had obtained before.
This Li Qiansheng had become famous even ten thousand years ago. He had entered the Mahayana stage ten thousand years prior.
But unfortunately, after breaking through to the Mahayana stage, he seemed to have been stuck in a bottleneck. To this day, Li Qiansheng, the Mahayana stage cultivator before him, was still only at the first level of the Mahayana stage, not even reaching the second level.
However, Mahayana stage cultivators were Mahayana stage cultivators.
Even a Mahayana stage cultivator at the first level was still a Mahayana stage cultivator and was essentially an invincible existence in the Qingrao Domain.
Even other Mahayana stage cultivators, or the strongest being in the Qingrao Domain, would generally not seek trouble with other Mahayana stage cultivators.
And without trouble from opponents of the same realm.
Mahayana stage cultivators were able to crush lower-level cultivators, and it would not be an exaggeration to say so.
The most powerful cultivators at the peak of tribulation ascension, even if called "half-step Mahayana stage" by outsiders, would actually face a swift and miserable defeat if they truly encountered a Mahayana stage cultivator, even one who had just broken through.
After Li Qi’s words, which clearly conveyed a sense of sending him away, Li Qiansheng remained motionless, showing no intention of leaving.
Then, Li Qiansheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of displeasure appeared in his gaze.
As a Mahayana stage cultivator, his subordinates were accustomed to receiving courtesy from other cultivators of the same realm due to his influence.
And today, he himself had come, only to be treated this way by Li Qi.
Hmph, he didn't know what was good for him.
With this thought, the coldness in Li Qiansheng's eyes intensified.
He had originally intended to have a good chat with the steward of Penguin Medicine Pavilion, but now, it seemed unnecessary.
The aura of a Mahayana stage cultivator at the first level was involuntarily exuded, as Li Qiansheng seemed to want to exert immense pressure on Li Qi before even speaking.
But unfortunately, the person he was trying to pressure was Li Qi.
Even though the strength of his Natal Spirit Puppet was not high, and his body would involuntarily feel suffocated under such pressure.
Deep down, Li Qi felt no panic at all.
"Sir, what is the reason for your visit?"
Li Qi asked calmly.
Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Li Qiansheng's face.
"I observe that the scale of your Penguin Medicine Pavilion's development is becoming larger and larger. If it continues to grow, you might easily encounter external enemies. Therefore, I have come today to offer your Penguin Medicine Pavilion my backing, Li Qiansheng. With my name, no one in the Qingrao Domain will dare to provoke you."
As Li Qiansheng finished speaking, Li Qi's expression became peculiar. He finally understood Li Qiansheng's intentions.
This guy seemed to think his Penguin Medicine Pavilion was making too much money and wanted to take advantage of the situation?
And he claimed to be willing to let them rely on him.
Was that even necessary?
He had already resolved the troubles that needed to be resolved.
However, on the surface, Li Qi asked calmly.
"Oh, if we rely on you, what price would we have to pay?"
Hearing this, Li Qiansheng's eyes lit up. The resources that Penguin Medicine Pavilion had accumulated over the years made even him a little envious, and he had heard that there was no Mahayana stage cultivator behind Penguin Medicine Pavilion.
Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of the situation.
"Relying on my name naturally cannot be without a price. From now on, you can hand over eighty percent of your annual earnings to me. This will be considered the price for my protection."
"?"
Are you sure you know what you're saying?
Eighty percent of the resources? Are you drunk?
At this moment, Li Qi's gaze became even more peculiar.
On the other hand, Li Qiansheng's expression revealed a hint of arrogance.
"Countless people want to rely on my power. I am willing to accept your Penguin Medicine Pavilion, so be content."
After saying this, he began to wait for Li Qi's response.
Then...
"Oh, not interested. You can leave."
Li Qi's indifferent words sounded, and he waved his hand, preparing to send the visitor away.
He had lost the desire to converse with Li Qiansheng.
Li Qiansheng was stunned when Li Qi told him to leave.
His brow furrowed slightly.
"You want me to leave? Aren't you going to think about it carefully?"
As he spoke, the dangerous glint in Li Qiansheng's eyes intensified.
The terrifying aura of a Mahayana stage cultivator on his body once again increased by a notch, filled with a sense of threat.
But to this, Li Qi's answer remained the same.
"Not interested. You can leave."
"Hmph!"
At this moment, the dangerous expression in Li Qiansheng's eyes reached its peak, and the threat in his words was obvious.
"Are you really not going to reconsider?"
"Scram!"
"Boom!"
At this moment, the aura of Li Qiansheng as a Mahayana stage cultivator was completely unleashed.
The Penguin Medicine Pavilion was instantly reduced to dust.
Countless cultivators in the Void Black Market were thrown into a state of panic.
"What's going on? What did the Penguin Medicine Pavilion do for that Mahayana stage cultivator to be so enraged?"
At this, the cultivators in the Void Black Market hurriedly fled, trying to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Meanwhile, Li Qi's controlled Natal Spirit Puppet No. 3 was easily pinned to the ground by Li Qiansheng's terrifying aura, unable to move at all.
Even under this terrifying aura.
The body of the Natal Spirit Puppet No. 3 began to crack, and a lot of blood flowed out.
At this moment, Li Qiansheng's eyes were extremely indifferent. He looked calmly at the Natal Spirit Puppet No. 3 pinned to the ground.
"I give your Penguin Medicine Pavilion three days. After three days, I want to hear news of your surrender to me, Li Qiansheng. Otherwise, your Penguin Medicine Pavilion will have no need to exist in the Qingrao Domain."
After saying this, Li Qiansheng paused slightly.
"Of course, if your Penguin Medicine Pavilion wishes to resist, then feel free to attack."
Speaking up to this point, Li Qiansheng's face displayed an arrogant expression.
He had already inquired beforehand.
Even though the eight major merchant guilds had been defeated by the Penguin Medicine Pavilion before, there was still no true Mahayana stage cultivator in the Penguin Medicine Pavilion.
And without a true Mahayana stage cultivator, they were merely like clay chickens and pottery dogs before him.
Surrender was the only thing they could do.
With that, Li Qiansheng did not linger any longer.
His figure flickered, and he gradually disappeared from his original spot.
