Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Such a large quantity of materials is beyond the capacity of most sects to consume.

"Strange, a sect that can consume so many materials can't be some small sect, right? What kind of sect suddenly needs so many spiritual materials?"

Li Mu asked with suspicion. Although, as long as there were two talismans, one could obtain spiritual materials from him.

But we still need to get to the bottom of this, otherwise he will bear some responsibility as well.

However, Wan Shuhao and Mo Bingji had already made preparations.

Mo Bingji said, "It seems to be a family from the Nansha Region, called something like the Nansha Huang Family. The people who came were a man and a woman, but I'm not quite sure."

"The Huang family of Nansha".

Li Mu Liao carefully recalled in his mind that he did not know much about the situation in the Nansha region, but he had indeed heard of the Huang family.

At this moment, Li Mu Liao suddenly realized that Li Quan's sudden departure was probably also because of this matter.

After all, he couldn't possibly not participate in such a large deal.

"Now that you mention it, I seem to have heard that some families from the Southern Sands region have recently emerged. Hehe, in that case, I will immediately order people to prepare the materials."

"However, it's strange that the people from the South Sands suddenly came here to collect materials."

Mo Bingji casually remarked, "The resources in the Nansha Islands are depleted, unlike the abundant resources in our Beihai Islands. Perhaps they have some reason for coming here to collect resources."

Upon hearing Mo Bingji's guess, Li Muliao felt that it made some sense.

"That's true. Who knows what those poor devils in the South China Sea are up to this time? But whatever, as long as they pay, I'm willing to sell to them."

Wan Shuhao and Mo Bingji felt relieved after hearing this, it seemed that Li Mu Liao really had no doubts.

At first, the two felt that Yu Changsheng's reason was inappropriate.

Only now do I realize that I was indeed overthinking things.

Gathering so many materials is no easy task, especially the items on the list, which practically emptied the entire shop.

This is also thanks to Li Quan, who provided the shop with a great deal of materials and valuable items.

Besides Li Mu Liao, the shopkeeper, the only other person with clear information should be Li Quan Zhi, who was in charge of allocating materials.

With him as an inside man, it's safe to ensure that no good stuff is missed.

After a short while, the shop assistant finally brought out several storage bags.

It took him a lot of effort to retrieve these things.

Fortunately, the store's inventory had just been inventoried, so it was relatively easy to retrieve the items again.

After showing their two talismans, Wan Shuhao and Mo Bingji left with their storage bags.

After the two left, the shop assistant also asked:

"Shopkeeper, shouldn't you report to the clan chief about bringing out such a large quantity of spiritual materials at once?"

After the shop assistant's reminder, Li Muling realized that he really should ask Li Muling first.

However, he didn't want to delay this big deal, and since he did have the talisman and there were no problems, he asked the shop assistant to immediately gather the materials.

"Hehe, what problems could there be? With Li Quan and Li Xiu watching over things, nothing will go wrong."

"How dare those people from the Nansha Islands cause trouble in my Beihai region? They must be tired of living."

After leaving the store, Wan Shuhao and Mo Bingji both breathed a sigh of relief. They had been extremely tense, afraid of making a mistake.

After the two emerged, they immediately released a signal talisman to indicate that they had succeeded.

He then immediately took his belongings and left the city.

Upon arriving outside the city, Yu Changsheng was already waiting at the mountain stream.

Seeing Wan Shuhao and Mo Bingji take out their storage bags, Yu Changsheng could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Alright, now you can send that letter to Li Mu Liao at the shop."

The two nodded and used the communication jade slip to send the letter to Sanling Town.

Yu Changsheng looked at the contents of the storage bag and had to admit that this harvest was quite substantial.

They practically emptied the store's remaining stock, leaving very little.

Du Xingcai, who was standing to the side, also watched with shining eyes, never expecting that they could get their hands on the item so easily.

"Haha, how many spirit stones can these spiritual materials sell for? We're rich!"

Du Xingcai tried to snatch one of the storage bags, but Yu Changsheng dodged it by sidestepping.

"Why are you in such a hurry? These spiritual materials cannot be used yet."

"Why? Do you want to keep it all for yourself?" Du Xingcai was immediately displeased.

Yu Changsheng had no choice but to explain, "Just like before when we marked the treasures and sent them to that shop."

"The shop may also make the same markings to prevent problems with these materials."

"Therefore, none of the spiritual materials inside can be taken out for the time being; they must be isolated using storage bags."

"We can only take them out when we have the opportunity to sell all the spiritual materials, or when we can use them immediately."

Mo Bingji also laughed and said, "Miss Xie, why rush? We've already got the items, so why worry about not being able to exchange them for spirit stones later?"

"That's right, exactly."

Seeing that everyone was like this, Du Xingcai stopped in a hurry to continue discussing the matter.

"Sir, what should we do now?" Yu Jie asked again from the side.

"Now that the items are in our hands, the Li family will soon discover they've been stolen. That letter, while it might buy us a little time, can't last long."

"Now we just need to wait. Once the Li family discovers that their goods have been stolen, they will definitely try to investigate. Then we can discuss the next steps."

At this point, Du Xingcai asked, "What exactly was the purpose of that letter you sent out?"

Yu Changsheng explained, "Now that we have Li Xiu as a scapegoat, he has finally obtained so many spiritual materials, so naturally he will try to get away from this place."

"That letter, to put it bluntly, was just a way to buy him time so he could escape from here as soon as possible."

Du Xingcai nodded slightly. "In that case, what do you plan to do with Li Quan? Where did that guy run off to?"

Yu Changsheng said, "Li Quan, of course, we'll have him go to that transit station to find someone, but it will definitely take a little time. I've already come up with a reason for him."

"When he finally arrives at the destination and finds that Li Xiu is not there, he can naturally send the message back to the shop and make Li Muling anxious, hehe."

Although Du Xingcai was completely confused, he still nodded seriously.

"Alright, for the next while, Wan Shuhao, Mo Bingji, Yu Jie, and Ding Xuan, you guys should all stay out of the way and it's best not to go out."

"Li Xiu, you must keep a close watch on him and make sure nothing goes wrong. It's best not to go back to that cave; find another secluded place to hide."

"You don't need to hide for too long, a few days at the earliest, a month at the latest. Take these cultivation supplies."

"As for the spiritual materials that were plundered, don't worry, they will be returned to you after this matter is over, and you will not be short a single spirit stone."

Yu Changsheng simply tossed out several storage bags and handed them to the four people.

After thanking them, the four immediately took Li Xiu and left.

Yu Changsheng said to Du Xingcai, "Now, we should go back too."

at the same time.

Li Quan also received a notification from Yu Changsheng and looked at the contents of the communication jade slip.

Li Quan was also completely baffled, not knowing what Yu Changsheng had done.

The message on the jade slip only instructed him to go to the transit station to inquire about the materials.

Apart from that, they told him almost nothing else.

This left Li Quan at a loss for what to do.

"What on earth is this guy up to?"

Although he was unsure of exactly what Yu Changsheng had done, Li Quan knew he had no choice, since his life was still in Yu Changsheng's hands.

When Li Quan arrived, the transfer station was still calm, and no one noticed anything unusual.

Li Quan strode forward and asked the manager, "Manager, where is Li Xiuren?"

The steward asked in confusion, "Li Xiu? Shouldn't he have already gone back?"

"Go back? But he told me to wait for him here, and now he's gone back on his own? What's he up to?"

Li Quan also looked puzzled.

Upon hearing this, the manager sensed something was amiss and asked, "By the way, why didn't you come today? Instead, you sent two strangers?"

Upon hearing this, Li Quan was even more puzzled. "A stranger came? I clearly told Li Xiu to come here to collect spiritual materials himself."

"Could it be that Li Xiu sent someone else again?"

After some discussion, the two felt something was amiss, and Li Quan sent another message via jade slip to Li Xiu.

However, naturally, no one responded for a long time.

Seeing this, the steward then had another Li Quan send a message to Li Mu Liao to inquire about the situation there.

Not long after, Li Mu Liao replied to the two of them, saying that Li Xiu had not returned at all.

After asking this question, the two realized that something was wrong; Li Xiu had disappeared.

"Oh no, something must have gone wrong. We have to find someone right away!"

After Li Quan finally returned, he immediately informed Li Mu Liao of the news.

Upon seeing Li Quan return but not Li Xiuren, Li Muliao immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

"You mean, Li Xiu has disappeared?"

Li Quan also told him everything he knew.

After calculating the details, Li Mu and Liao Yi finally understood.

Judging from the looks of it, it must have been Li Xiu who took everything with him. Otherwise, there's no other possibility.

"What on earth is Li Xiu up to? Does he have a death wish, even stealing from the Li family's property!"

Only now did Li Quan begin to realize Yu Changsheng's thoughts.

This is an attempt to pin all the blame on Li Xiu.

It is highly likely that Li Xiu is already in Yu Changsheng's hands by now.

However, Li Quan still tried to put on an act.

"Damn it! Why did this have to happen to me? If I hadn't been injured so suddenly, none of this would have happened!"

Li Mu Liao was taken aback upon hearing this, and quickly asked, "What do you mean you're injured?"

Li Quan explained, "If I hadn't been injured today and unable to use my magic to fly, I wouldn't have let Li Xiu go to the Central Transit Battle alone to retrieve spiritual materials."

"Then, Li Xiu suddenly sent me a message on a jade slip, saying that there was a big business deal at the transit station and asked me to go there to discuss it, so I had no choice but to go."

"Who would have thought that something like this would happen?"

"I see!"

Li Mu slapped his thigh, realizing what had happened.

"That guy, after transferring you away, immediately sent people to my place to seize spiritual materials, taking away a large amount of spiritual materials from my inventory!"

"What did you say? They've all been transferred?"

Li Quan's expression tightened, and he quickly grasped Li Mu Liao's arm, confirming again:

"Have all the spiritual materials been transferred away?"

Li Mu Liao also nodded solemnly.

"Even the people at the transit station sent me a message saying they had received the goods. What's going on?"

Li Muliao took out the letter and showed it to Li Quan.

"Now that the goods have been received, that's good."

"Since Li Xiu only mobilized a small portion of the spiritual materials from the transfer station, it's not too bad." Li Quan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Li Mu Liao remained solemn and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"Those spiritual materials are already in Li Xiu's hands, so how could they possibly be summoned back?"

"We don't know where this letter came from, but it's probably just a way to buy time. I'm afraid Li Xiu has already used this time to escape."

"Ugh."

Li Quan sighed, "Now that things have come to this, it will be very difficult for the few of us to catch Li Xiu. We can only report this matter to the clan leader as soon as possible."

Although Li Mu Liao was unwilling, he knew that this matter could not be kept secret for long. If he could not catch Li Xiu, the consequences of keeping it a secret would be even more serious.

They had no choice but to report the matter quickly and seek help from the Li family to hunt down Li Xiu, hoping they might be able to find him.

"Well, at this point, there's nothing we can do but accept it."

Helpless, the two men went to the city lord's mansion with dark faces to report the matter.

Li Muling is currently dealing with the internal affairs of Sanling Town. He has just taken control of Sanling Town, and troublesome things are happening one after another.

The properties in Sanling Town that originally belonged to the four major families and the city lord's mansion are now being reshuffled, so he's naturally busy with that.

Having finally finished his work, Li Muling was just about to take a break when he saw Li Muling and Li Quan hurriedly arrive at the city lord's mansion.

"Chieftain!"

Upon seeing Li Muling, the two knelt down.

Upon seeing this, Li Muling immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly went up to ask, "What are you doing?"

Li Mu Liao's face was grim as he said, "Clan leader, Li Xiu has defected."

"He betrayed the Li family!"

"What are you talking about? Li Xiu would betray my Li family? That's absolutely impossible!"

Li Muling immediately denied this possibility, suspecting that there might be some misunderstanding.

But seeing the appearance of these two people, Li Muling also felt a sense of unease.

"You two, explain yourself clearly what exactly happened."

Li Mu had no choice but to explain everything he knew. (End of Chapter)
