As Li Qi absorbed the information transmitted by his two natal spirit puppets and the current situation of the Penguin Medicine Pavilion, he seemed to sense something. Li Qi's gaze shot directly outside his hidden formation, where one of his natal spirit puppets arrived belatedly.
With a thought, Li Qi opened a corner of his hidden formation and let it in. The natal spirit puppet that came before Li Qi was direct and to the point, taking out several spatial rings.
"Main body, these are the resources from this period."
"Mm, good work. Keep it up! When I improve my strength, I'll help you advance again too."
Li Qi nodded, looking at the natal spirit puppet before him, which was also at the peak of Tribulation Transcension, just like himself. In the past hundred years, his natal spirit puppets had long been recreated by him to possess peak Tribulation Transcension strength. Although his natal spirit puppets only had half of his normal strength, with the enhancement of his countless attribute points, even at half strength, the combat power his natal spirit puppets could exert was close to that of a Half-step Mahayana cultivator. If they added the Extreme Burning Secret Technique and Eight Revolutions Against Chaos, coupled with the combat method of his natal spirit puppets who did not need to cherish their lives, even a true Half-step Mahayana cultivator would only be defeated. This was enough to prove the formidable strength of his two natal spirit puppets.
Yet, such powerful natal spirit puppets, under Li Qi's command, could only manage two shops. If other guild cultivators knew about this, they would likely curse. Such Half-step Mahayana combat power, if placed in their guilds, would undoubtedly be revered as an ancestor. In the top guilds within the Qingrao Domain, most would only have one or two Half-step Mahayana cultivators. If they had two, they would truly be a super guild at the pinnacle of the pyramid, fearless against all other guilds unless a true Mahayana cultivator force descended.
Li Qi casually swept his divine sense over the spatial rings. The vast resources within had long since made Li Qi numb to them. In the past, he might have been shocked. But now, after seeing such immense resources countless times, he simply put them away.
"Has anything major happened at the Penguin Medicine Pavilion recently?"
"No, everything is well. Many of our subordinates are heading to neighboring major regions to expand our business scope."
"That's good."
Li Qi nodded. Then, the natal spirit puppet before him, which had arrived quickly, left just as quickly, as one of the two branches of the Penguin Medicine Pavilion still needed him to manage it. It was only now that Li Qi's cultivation had reached the peak of Tribulation Transcension, which had radiated to his two natal spirit puppets. Otherwise, with their previous cultivation levels, they might not have been able to handle such a large demand for elixirs. It was hard to imagine how much more difficult his cultivation path would have been without the diligent, day-and-night help of his natal spirit puppets.
Suddenly, with a slight movement of his mind, Li Qi vaguely felt the will of the Earth Void Heavenly Dao in his mind. After the Earth Void Heavenly Dao achieved Mahayana, as the master of the plane, communication became easier even from this distant Qingrao Domain. Before Li Qi left, he had also left all the Tribulation Transcension Heavenly Dao wills collected from the eight guilds to the Earth Void Heavenly Dao. Now, after a hundred years, the Earth Void Heavenly Dao had not even consumed all fifty-plus Tribulation Transcension Heavenly Dao wills. It had only devoured about half. Of course, for the current strength of the Earth Void Heavenly Dao, while those fifty-plus Tribulation Transcension Heavenly Dao wills were not weak, it was still difficult to achieve significant improvement. Even now, Li Qi, from such a great distance, vaguely felt that the Earth Void Heavenly Dao was only at the strength of Mahayana First Layer, with no significant increase. Even if it devoured all these fifty-plus Tribulation Transcension Heavenly Dao wills, it was still questionable whether the Earth Void Heavenly Dao could ascend to Mahayana Second Layer.
"Forget it, let it take its time. I haven't even broken through to Mahayana myself yet, why worry about my own fat pig." Li Qi shook his head.
But then, Li Qi's eyes suddenly narrowed, as if he sensed something. Immediately, his mind stirred. A trace of his divine soul separated and directly took over the body authority of the number three natal spirit puppet, which managed one of the two shops and served as the headquarters.
There was no other reason. Li Qi's gaze turned solemn as he looked outside the Penguin Medicine Pavilion. At this moment, a terrifying and indescribable aura surged outside the Penguin Medicine Pavilion. Naturally, the cultivator controlling this was the number three natal spirit puppet, whose cultivation had reached the peak of Tribulation Transcension. But even Li Qi could feel the suffocating pressure. Similarly, in this Void Black Market, under this sudden terrifying aura, many cultivators cried out in shock.
"This aura is so terrifying, what realm is this?"
"This, this, this aura, could it be that a Mahayana cultivator has personally arrived?"
"How is that possible? Why would a Mahayana cultivator come to our small Void Black Market? Moreover, even if they wanted something, they could arrange for their subordinates to handle it, so why would they come in person?"
Just then, a voice of surprised uncertainty suddenly rang out.
"Wait, look quickly, that Mahayana cultivator seems to be heading towards the Penguin Medicine Pavilion..."
The aura of that Mahayana cultivator was getting closer and closer to the Penguin Medicine Pavilion. The eyes of the number three natal spirit puppet, controlled by Li Qi, narrowed further and further.
Before long, outside the Penguin Medicine Pavilion, a figure in a black robe appeared at some point. Although the aura of this figure was extremely restrained, the faint pressure that unconsciously emanated caused the surrounding cultivators to turn pale and retreat away from the Penguin Medicine Pavilion.
At this moment, Li Qi's calm voice rang out. He seemed completely unaware of how terrifying the visitor was.
"I wonder what the guest requires at my Penguin Medicine Pavilion. Do you need to order the elixirs you need?"
In response, the black-robed figure outside the door strode in directly. He was a middle-aged man who looked extremely majestic. His eyes looked at Li Qi, and a dense oppressive feeling unconsciously emanated from them.
"Penguin Medicine Pavilion, I am not here to order elixirs."
