Jiang Wanhao had just received a call, Li Xiaoyao had already left Ling City and was on his way to Muze City.

Leaning on the sofa, Jiang Wanhao fiddled with the beads in his hand and muttered to himself, "No sect, no school, just a mere Qi-Training Martial Artist, yet he possesses so many Spirit Stones."

"Hmph, do you think the news of a location rich in spiritual soil is worth only ten thousand Spirit Stones? How naive."

Jiang Wanhao picked up his phone, dialed a number, and said, "Send the orders down, tomorrow everyone head to Xiao Taoyuan Mountain, and set up an ambush."

...

Li Xiaoyao arrived in Muze City late that night and booked the city's most luxurious five-star hotel.

And it was just after seven o'clock.

Muze City was very close to Ling City, with the whole car journey taking no more than an hour.

After completing the check-in, Li Xiaoyao did not go upstairs.

Stepping out of the hotel, Li Xiaoyao hailed a taxi and headed for Muze City's famous ancient street.

Muze City was very famous in the history of Xuan Country, boasting a history of a thousand years and countless ancient civilization relics.

Li Xiaoyao had come here late at night with no other purpose but to buy gifts for a few girls.

Zhang Meng and Zhu Xiaoyue, he had not contacted them for a long time.

These relationships, Li Xiaoyao did not want to let go of.

Among these girls, apart from Zhu Xiaoyue, the others all had substantial relationships with Li Xiaoyao.

As for Zhuo Yi, Li Xiaoyao already considered her the woman he could not give up on in his lifetime.

After buying the gifts, Li Xiaoyao, carrying big and small packages, stood at the roadside to hail a car.

Since this was a tourist spot, there were many tourists, and it was hard to get a taxi.

A black sedan slowly drove by, and the man in the driver's seat casually glanced at the corner of his eye, just catching sight of Li Xiaoyao by the roadside.

His pupils suddenly constricted, hands gripping the steering wheel trembled, and he instinctively hit the brakes.

The girl in the passenger seat looked to be in her early twenties, heavily made-up, in black stockings, high heels, and a little strappy dress, the standard night club goers' garb.

The car's sudden stop made the girl unsteady, almost hitting the windshield; she turned her head and cursed angrily, "Are you insane?"

"Get out!" The man, focusing on the Li Xiaoyao in front, barked at the woman.

"To hell with you, really think you're something just because you have some money?" After cursing, the girl kicked the car door open and walked away.

The man took a few deep breaths, slowly stepped on the gas, and pulled up to where Li Xiaoyao stood.

Getting out of the car, the man stood in front of Li Xiaoyao and respectfully said, "Mr. Li, hello."

Li Xiaoyao was quite surprised; he hadn't expected to bump into Liang Wenshuo just by wandering around.

This man was Liang Wenshuo, the one who had tried to compete with Li Xiaoyao for Zhu Xiaoyue.

At this moment, Liang Wenshuo's respectful demeanor was quite laughable.

"Hmm," Li Xiaoyao grunted in response, saying nothing else.

Indeed, there was nothing to be said.

Seeing Li Xiaoyao carrying both large and small packages, Liang Wenshuo immediately said, "Mr. Li, it's difficult to get a taxi here, where are you staying? I can drive you there."

"That would be good," Li Xiaoyao didn't decline, placed his things in the back seat, and sat in the passenger seat.

"To the Hilton."

"Alright," Liang Wenshuo carefully drove, occasionally glancing at Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao sat with his eyes closed, breathing steadily.

Liang Wenshuo could hardly contain himself; encountering Li Xiaoyao here today was an opportunity, one that came unexpectedly and couldn't be sought after. He resolved in his heart that he must seize it.

"Mr. Li, my father has transferred all the shares into your name," he said.

Li Xiaoyao hummed in response, "I didn't come here for your Liang Family's affairs."

Liang Wenshuo was startled and hurriedly explained, "Mr. Li, that's not what I meant. I meant to say that if you need anything in Muze City, you can find me or my father at any time. We are at your beck and call."

Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes, revealing a hint of surprise.

This Liang Wenshuo had changed significantly, showing the capacity for both humility and assertiveness, despite being only in his twenties.

"Do you know Little Peach Garden Mountain?"

"Yes, yes," Liang Wenshuo nodded repeatedly.

"Who owns that mountain?" Li Xiaoyao asked, it just occurred to him that if Little Peach Garden Mountain truly produced a rich vein of Spirit Soil, he would have to purchase the mountain through legal means.

Generally speaking, land was state-owned, but mountains were often contracted out to private parties. If the location was suitable, it was also common for the state to use it directly.

For Li Xiaoyao, these were not issues. If the Liang Family could solve it, that would be best; if not, he would turn to Cheng Dongliang.

After all, he had connections with very influential people; buying a mountain wouldn't be difficult.

"That mountain has already been acquired by Lu Province's Fenghua Real Estate; they're planning to develop it into a resort," Liang Wenshuo said.

Seeing Li Xiaoyao's interest in Little Peach Garden Mountain, Liang Wenshuo immediately said, "Mr. Li, if you go there like this, it may be difficult to get in. Fenghua Real Estate has cordoned off the mountain, apparently they are working on planning and design. But no worries, if Mr. Li wants to go, I can drive you there directly, no one will dare to stop you."

"Tomorrow morning at nine, wait for me downstairs at the hotel," Li Xiaoyao said.

Liang Wenshuo was elated, "Of course, I will be on time."

Returning to the hotel, Li Xiaoyao took out the ancient jade.

With the ancient jade in his left hand and a dagger in his right, he carefully carved the Array.

Although Li Xiaoyao had the System, a significant cheat, carving Arrays still came with a risk of failure.

Li Xiaoyao had already ruined two pieces of ancient jade; this was the third piece, which was now ninety percent complete, only a little left, to finish the first step.

Once the Array was carved, what followed was nurturing.

Once the Array on the ancient jade was completed, it could autonomously absorb nature's spiritual energy, serving to nurture and defend against attacks.

But at first, the ancient jade contained no Spiritual Energy, and relying solely on the Formation to absorb it was exceedingly slow.

At three o'clock in the morning, Li Xiaoyao finally finished carving the first Array.

He casually wore the ancient jade on his person and took out a second piece to continue his work.

Before he knew it, daylight had broken.

Li Xiaoyao put down the ancient jade, slightly squinted his eyes, and considered it a rest.

At eight o'clock, Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes and went downstairs for some breakfast.

At nine o'clock, he took the elevator down, where Liang Wenshuo was already waiting in the car.

Li Xiaoyao got into the car and said, "Let's go."

The weather wasn't good today, with light rain drizzling from the sky, enveloping the air with a hint of earthy scent.

Muze City has long been known as the "Water Town of Lu Province," rich in mountains and rivers, with fresh air, making it a very suitable place for living.

Liang Wenshuo drove steadily, and after over an hour, a lush green mountain peak finally appeared in the distance.

"Mr. Li, that ahead is Little Peach Garden Mountain," he said.

Li Xiaoyao looked into the distance, the entirety of Little Peach Garden Mountain coming into view.

Sitting at just over four hundred meters tall, the mountain was shrouded in mist from the waist up due to the rain.
