Li Xiaoyao took a step forward and appeared before Jiang Wanhao, standing with his hands behind his back, said, "Minor Taoyuan Mountain, does it possess spiritual soil?"

Jiang Wanhao's face turned deathly pale, and seeing Li Xiaoyao again filled his heart with endless fear.

"Yes, the spiritual soil indeed comes from here," Jiang Wanhao said before he began begging for mercy, "My lord, spare my life, I was blind not to recognize a great man, unaware that you are a Cultivator."

"Spare your life?" Li Xiaoyao laughed and shook his head, said, "I have said, Cultivators, must not be insulted! Those who insult, die!"

After speaking, Li Xiaoyao turned and walked toward the mountain. A terrified Jiang Wanhao wanted to continue begging for mercy, but the Seven Star Ancient Sword floating nearby suddenly vibrated with a hum, turned into a blur of a shadow, and sliced across his neck, leaving behind a corpse.

Li Xiaoyao walked back, and Qian Zhengfa and the others immediately fell to their knees with a plop, loudly begging for mercy, "Master, spare our lives, Master, spare our lives!"

Li Xiaoyao's indifferent gaze swept over each of their faces, and the Seven Star Ancient Sword floating nearby hummed and trembled, turning them pale with fright.

"Whoosh!"

The Ancient Sword swept past Qian Xiaohua's neck, splashing a streak of fresh blood. Qian Xiaohua's eyes bulged out, and her body instantly stiffened, turning into a corpse that fell backward.

Qian Zhengfa's body trembled even more violently, and he shouted with a quivering voice, "Master, spare my life, I am willing to give Minor Taoyuan Mountain to you, just in exchange for my life!"

The Ancient Sword, which had been about to take his life, stopped instantly in front of his throat when he uttered those words.

"I need this mountain, and still I require your consent?" Li Xiaoyao sneered, about to take action again.

Standing to the side, Liang Wenshuo, who had already been too shocked to speak, suddenly said, "Master Li, please spare him!"

Li Xiaoyao turned to look at him, and his calm eyes put immense pressure on Liang Wenshuo.

Liang Wenshuo, with great effort, said, "Master Li, you certainly possess powerful magic, but worldly affairs aren't as simple as killing and seizing lives. If you kill Director Qian, to legally own this mountain afterward might be somewhat troublesome."

Qian Zhengfa nodded repeatedly, said, "Exactly, exactly, Master Li, Wenshuo is right. If you kill me, this mountain will only be considered my inheritance, to be passed on to my children."

Liang Wenshuo continued, "How about this, you spare his life for now, and after he has transferred ownership of Minor Taoyuan Mountain to your name, it won't be too late to deal with him then."

"Yes, yes, yes, Master Li, I deserve to die, but before I do, please allow me to be of some use. If you feel my life isn't worth your effort, I am willing to work like an ox or horse in the future." Qian Zhengfa, having been a sly businessman in the world for decades, naturally knew how important it was to show loyalty at this moment.

Let alone asking for a mountain from Li Xiaoyao, even if he demanded that he kneel on the ground and eat mud, he would grab it and eat without hesitation.

Li Xiaoyao thought for a few seconds, the Seven Star Ancient Sword retracted into the Storage Ring, said, "Before tonight, transfer all your assets under my name."

"All the assets!" Qian Zhengfa gasped, thinking he had heard wrong.

Li Xiaoyao looked at him, "Is there a problem?"

Qian Zhengfa came back to his senses, shook his head repeatedly, "No, no problems."

"Open your mouth."

Qian Zhengfa didn't know what Li Xiaoyao was going to do, but he didn't dare to ask and obediently opened his mouth.

Li Xiaoyao flicked his finger gently, launching the Bone Corroding Pill he had just bought into his mouth.

The Pill Medicine melted as soon as it entered his mouth, and before Qian Zhengfa could even swallow, the Pill Medicine had already dissolved into his body.

Li Xiaoyao said indifferently, "What you've just ingested is the Bone Corroding Pill. It will take effect every two hours, and when it does, you'll feel as if thousands of ants are gnawing at your bones, the pain unbearable. If you do not take the antidote within twenty-four hours, your body will dissolve into a puddle of thick liquid, leaving not even bone residue behind."

Upon hearing these words, Qian Zhengfa trembled, a look of deep fear on his face as he repeatedly prostrated himself and said, "Master Li, rest assured, I certainly dare not make any slight move. Before tonight, all my assets will be transferred to your name."

"Hmm," Li Xiaoyao nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze towards the group of security guards.

The guards had long been scared out of their wits. To think of flying with a sword thousands of miles to behead someone, events from legends, were now unfolding before their very eyes.

Now being stared at by this man who was like a demon, the guards were so frightened that their legs gave way, and they knelt on the ground.

Li Xiaoyao said nothing, simply waved his sleeve, and the guards instantly passed out.

Li Xiaoyao walked up to them, lightly touched their foreheads, and said, "I have erased their memory. What happened today, you know, I know. If I find out later that a fourth person knows, you are aware of the consequences."

Liang Wenshuo and Qian Zhengfa kept nodding their heads, not daring to defy.

Mere hand gestures could take a life, flying on a sword.

Such divine actions had already shocked the two men into submission; as for thoughts of resistance, they did not dare entertain any.

"Wait for me at the foot of the mountain until I return." After dropping this sentence, Li Xiaoyao turned into a lingering shadow, flying towards the mountain's summit.

After Li Xiaoyao left, the two exchanged glances and let out bitter laughs.

"Wenshuo, who exactly is this Master Li? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Qian Zhengfa was filled with regret at this point, for a single request from Jiang Wanhao had caused him to lose both wealth and status overnight.

If Jiang Wanhao were still alive, he swore he would have personally killed him!

Liang Wenshuo also shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Uncle Qian, I told you before, Master Li is an honored guest of the Liang Family. You wouldn't listen and instead wanted to act against him. If I hadn't pleaded on your behalf, you would probably be a corpse by now."

Qian Zhengfa felt a residual fear, indeed, had it not been for Liang Wenshuo's plea, he would have been killed already.

"Wenshuo, thank you," Qian Zhengfa said. "Why don't you plead on my behalf again, see if you can leave me a little money?"

Liang Wenshuo's bitter smile deepened as he replied, "Uncle Qian, you might as well not hold any hope. Now, ninety percent of the Liang Family's wealth belongs to Master Li."

Qian Zhengfa was stunned for a moment before realizing his thoughts were far too naïve.

"Forget it, this is the calamity within my fate, Qian Zhengfa. Though now penniless, at least I still have my life. As long as I live, I can rise from Dongshan again," Qian Zhengfa somehow took it lightly.

Liang Wenshuo said, "Uncle Qian, don't worry. Later, I will plead on your behalf and see if I can ask Master Li for an antidote."

Qian Zhengfa said excitedly, "Wenshuo, thank you."

...

At the mountain peak, Li Xiaoyao walked on the damp soil, the falling rain seemingly avoiding him, not a drop wetting his body.

Li Xiaoyao crouched down, grabbed a handful of soil, and a smile emerged on his face.

Indeed, as expected, Jiang Wanhao had not lied to him; this place was indeed rich in spiritual soil.

This entire area, all filled with spiritual soil rich in Spiritual Energy, was perfect for cultivating Spiritual Medicine.
