"Two experts at the ninth level of Tribulation, should be more than enough to deal with the strong individuals in this small place," Qin Tianyi murmured to himself. Suddenly, his gaze fell again on the Tribulation Six cultivator who had been conversing with him.
"Right, I heard that among these shops, there is a force called Penguin Medicine Pavilion? I heard that force called Penguin Medicine Pavilion also came from a prosperous region. Have you heard of it before?"
To this, the Tribulation Six cultivator in front of Qin Tianyi shook his head.
"No. The prosperous region is too vast. That Penguin Medicine Pavilion is probably just an unknown small force. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to develop in such a small place."
"That's true."
Nodding, Qin Tianyi let out a sneer. However, he didn't care about the words of the Tribulation Six cultivator at all, as if he was belittling his Qin Yang Shop into a force that could only develop in small places.
Compared to that Penguin Medicine Pavilion, which had been developing here for hundreds of years and was still mediocre.
His Qin Yang Shop didn't come to develop in such a place out of necessity.
"If it weren't for my grandfather being in seclusion and about to break through to the Mahayana stage, and as his grandson, I need to give my grandfather a coming-out gift, I wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to suffer in such a small place."
That's right, the reason Qin Tianyi brought many experts to this Void Black Market to set up Qin Yang Shop this time.
It was solely because Qin Tianyi's grandfather, who was the strongest in Qin Yang Shop, was currently in seclusion and attempting to break through to the Mahayana stage.
And this time, his grandfather was almost certain to succeed in breaking through to the Mahayana stage.
Once that happened, with a Mahayana stage expert behind them, not only would Qin Yang Shop's status be greatly enhanced in their respective prosperous region, but his own status as the grandson of a Mahayana stage expert would naturally rise as well.
Correspondingly, as the grandson of a Mahayana stage expert, he would naturally be expected to achieve something in the eyes of outsiders.
Consolidating the merchant guild in a remote small place and completely controlling it was, in Qin Tianyi's opinion, a good coming-out gift for his grandfather.
Furthermore, with his ability, his grandfather, who would then be a Mahayana stage expert, would pay him more attention.
After all, the number of his descendants in this generation was not so few as to reach hundreds or thousands.
But he still had several siblings of the same generation, and vying for favor was a necessary act.
...
Penguin Medicine Pavilion, in a secret chamber.
"Fellow Daoist, since we have communicated as much as we needed to, we shall not linger. We will return to inform the others in the alliance that Penguin Medicine Pavilion has now joined the alliance."
Fang Siyuan and the others, who had been conversing with Li Qi's controlled first natal spirit puppet in the Penguin Medicine Pavilion, had finished their discussions.
As experts at the Tribulation stage, they did not have much free time in their daily lives and had many matters to attend to, so they did not stay in the Penguin Medicine Pavilion indefinitely.
"Then I shall not keep you either. Fellow Daoists, safe journey."
Li Qi had no intention of keeping them either. Both sides exchanged pleasantries briefly, and watched as the Tribulation stage cultivators who had traveled from afar gradually disappeared into the Void Black Market.
Li Qi's gaze gradually retracted.
The surrounding cultivators who had come to Penguin Medicine Pavilion to purchase pills had also lowered their voices to the minimum.
After all, seeing so many Tribulation stage cultivators at once was an unprecedented event in their lives.
With the matter concluded, Li Qi's mind stirred slightly, and he directly released his control over the first natal spirit puppet.
The first natal spirit puppet returned to its usual task of attending to customers.
And Li Qi's consciousness returned to the Dizhi Realm at this moment.
His eyes were slightly solemn.
Joining the local alliance was beneficial and harmless, but it felt somewhat superfluous.
In fact, when Li Qi was personally controlling the first natal spirit puppet and communicating with the Tribulation stage experts from various shops just now,
He also wanted to see if he could glean any information about the Qin Yang Shop from their mouths.
But unfortunately, those fellows also had the same idea and wanted to understand from him.
"I still haven't figured out the actual strength behind that Qin Yang Shop. What a pity."
Without understanding the opponent's strength, even Li Qi dared not act rashly.
Although they couldn't find his main body in the Dizhi Realm, if the experts behind them were truly far beyond his imagination.
It would likely cause a devastating blow to the dozens of Void Black Markets around them, which would still affect Penguin Medicine Pavilion's business, making the loss outweigh the gain.
"Forget it, since a balance is being maintained for now, let's maintain it. I'll break through to the Tribulation Triple Heaven first."
Li Qi murmured to himself and soon immersed his mind.
He prepared to directly continue his breakthrough.
In the end, it was always better for his own strength to grow.
Without spending too much time, Li Qi entered a state of seclusion.
The perception of time became weak again for Li Qi.
Li Qi's breathing gradually stabilized.
Normally, when Li Qi next awoke, it would be when he had broken through to the Tribulation Triple Heaven.
But reality would not be as peaceful as Li Qi wished.
After only a few days, or a few months, or even longer,
Li Qi's aura had almost completely merged into the Heavenly Dao Space.
Due to the absence of the Void Annihilation Space devouring spiritual energy, the spiritual energy intensity in the Heavenly Dao Space had once again increased, becoming more and more concentrated.
And at a certain moment.
Li Qi, who was in the process of breaking through, suddenly opened his eyes.
It wasn't that his cultivation realm had quietly broken through.
It was at this moment.
The first natal spirit puppet, located in the Void Black Market, sent an unprecedented plea for help to Li Qi.
In an instant, the awakened Li Qi received the vast information transmitted by the first natal spirit puppet.
His expression instantly turned grim.
