Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 473: Infant Soul Flower Alchemy

Inside the Medicine King Pavilion, in a room that was simply yet elegantly decorated, Li Zhizheng stood in front of a desk with a focused expression.

He poured all his gains from the barter conference today onto the table. A wide variety of spiritual herbs instantly covered the table, emitting a faint and unique scent.

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully identifying and screening, picking out those spiritual herbs that were obviously suitable for monsters to use one by one.

Then, he gently picked up the black sword beside him, his expression gentle, and called out in a low voice: "Xiaobai, wake up, there is something delicious for you to eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, a scarlet eye slowly opened at the hilt of the black sword.

Compared with the last time, this eye was less tired and weak, and more lively and energetic.

Seeing this, Li Zhi knew in his heart that the Tianmang grass had worked well last time. Judging from the current condition of the hundred-eyed insect, it would not take long for it to recover.

For Li Zhi, the hundred-eyed insect is not only a weapon or a monster. In his heart, the hundred-eyed insect is also his indispensable companion and his helper.

Now, seeing that the Hundred-Eyed Insect had finally regained its vitality, he was delighted, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he gently stroked the black sword and said, "I'm here to feed you."

As he spoke, he pushed all the spiritual herbs he had picked from the table in front of Hei Jian.

The scarlet eyes of the hundred-eyed insect suddenly burst into a strong greedy light, as if it saw the most tempting delicacy in the world.

It couldn't wait to open its mouth again, and the mouth instantly became extremely huge, like a black abyss, swallowing the pile of spiritual herbs in one go.

After swallowing it, it seemed still unsatisfied. It blinked its eyes and looked at Li Zhi eagerly, as if expecting more rewards.

Li Zhi looked at the appearance of the Hundred-Eyed Insect and couldn't help but feel angry and amused. He stretched out his finger, flicked the black sword lightly, and scolded with a smile: "You have eaten so much, you should be satisfied. Go and digest it well."

The black sword seemed to understand Li Zhi's words and made a low humming sound. Then, its scarlet eye slowly closed and it fell into a deep sleep again.

Li Zhi smiled and placed the black sword aside. He then extended his left hand, spread his fingers, and revealed five glowing ghost coins. He weighed them in his hand and called out softly, "Five ghosts, come out."

As he finished speaking, the five ghost coins glowed slightly. In the flickering light, five figures with a hint of coldness suddenly appeared in the room.

The five little ghosts were ethereal and vague, and then gradually became solid.

Their faces were childish yet revealed a ferocious and weird look. As soon as they appeared, their eyes were firmly attracted by the remaining spiritual herbs on the table in front of Li Zhi, and there was a glimmer of desire in their eyes.

Li Zhi looked at them, looking just like the hundred-eyed insects, all greedy, and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, saying, "Stand still, I'll give you the food right away."

Although the five little ghosts still stared at the spiritual herbs, they did not dare to disobey Li Zhi's order. They stood up straight, their bodies trembling slightly, obviously trying their best to restrain their inner desire.

Seeing this, Li Zhi nodded secretly, feeling quite relieved.

Since following him, these five ghosts have been carefully trained by him. Although they are greedy by nature, they are absolutely obedient to his orders. Even in the face of such tempting food, they can still stick to their discipline and put his orders above their instincts.

Li Zhi began to work, carefully dividing the spiritual herbs suitable for evil spirits to eat into five portions, and handed them to the five little ghosts one by one.

The little ghosts took the spiritual herbs with satisfied smiles on their faces, and held them carefully in their hands as if they were holding the most precious treasure in the world.

However, when it came to the final analysis, Li Zhi was in trouble.

On the table, there was a baby soul flower lying alone. The baby soul flower was delicate and gorgeous, with petals trembling slightly, emitting an alluring scent that drove evil spirits crazy. It was the most precious of these spiritual herbs and the most loved by ghosts.

Li Zhi looked at the five pairs of wide-open eyes in front of him. There was a desire for the Infant Soul Flower in each little ghost's eyes.

He scratched his head, feeling a little worried.

The buds, petals, roots, branches and leaves of the Infant Soul Flower all contain different energies. It is really a tricky task to split them perfectly into five equal parts.

Li Zhi treated these five little devils equally. In his heart, they were all equally important and there was no favoritism.

He also knew that what is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of distribution.

Especially now that these five little ghosts are becoming more and more clever and intelligent, if the food is not distributed evenly, it is very likely to cause unnecessary conflicts.

Li Zhi thought for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he thought of a brilliant idea.

He raised his head, looked at the five little ghosts, and said, "You guys wait in the room obediently, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he turned and hurriedly left the room.

Li Zhi searched everywhere in the Medicine King Pavilion and soon found a disciple from the Medicine King Valley.

The disciple recognized Li Zhi immediately, knowing that he was the benefactor who saved Cen Mu. Furthermore, Cen Mu and Shao Qi were usually very polite to Li Zhi, so he was particularly respectful and asked with a broad smile, "Brother Li, what are your instructions?"

Li Zhi nodded and asked directly: "Do you have an alchemy furnace here? I would like to borrow it."

The disciple answered without hesitation, "Of course there is. Senior Brother Li, please follow me."

Seeing Li Zhi's anxious expression, the disciple thought that borrowing the alchemy furnace was not a big deal. Perhaps he could take this opportunity to leave a good impression in front of Li Zhi. In the future, he could use Li Zhi to establish relationships with senior brothers like Cen Mu and Shao Qi who had high power and status and great prospects. So he enthusiastically took Li Zhi to an alchemy room.

He pushed open the door and said to Li Zhi, "Brother Li, this alchemy room is very quiet. If you need anything else, feel free to do it here. If you have any other needs, just call me at any time. I'll be waiting outside. By the way, my name is Huang Lin."

Li Zhi glanced at Huang Lin, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, thank you very much, Junior Brother Huang Lin."

Li Zhi understood Huang Lin's thoughts. He just wanted to get to know Cen Mu and Shao Qi through him.

But he didn't object to this. On the contrary, he felt that Huang Lin knew how to seize opportunities and was a smart man. If the opportunity arose, he wouldn't mind mentioning Huang Lin in front of Cen Mu and Shao Qi.

After Huang Lin left the alchemy room, Li Zhi took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and took out the precious infant soul flower from his arms.

He thought to himself that if he could refine the Infant Soul Flower into five pills, the five ghosts would be evenly distributed and the medicinal effect of the Infant Soul Flower could be maximized.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Li Zhi took out some other spiritual herbs, then calmed down and focused on refining the pills.
