Diiiing!A translucent, light-blue interface window suddenly materialized before Fang Zhe's blurring vision. The cold yet familiar mechanical voice of the system echoed directly inside his consciousness.[System Notification: Answering the Host's inquiry. The recipe for the Thousand-Poison Antidote Pill consists of... Qilian Leaves, a 700-year-old Ginseng, Lotus Holy Water, and Qi Lotus Petals.]"If that's the case, are all these ingredients available in the system shop?"[Affirmative. Total consumption for all ingredients is 3,000 points... Begin the purchasing process?]"Heh, look who’s being soft-hearted for once. You probably couldn't bear to see me die because of your usual greed, right?""..." The system offered no response. Until suddenly...Wuuuuush!The four ingredients materialized right in front of Fang Zhe without his explicit confirmation. Concurrently, a string of system notifications flooded his vision.Diiiing![Purchase successful! Remaining points: 17,000! All curren

...the real Fang Zhe asked, his voice sounding casual yet filled with a lingering undertone of satisfaction. Hearing that question, both Lei Ba and Faiye remained utterly speechless. Their tongues were tied, as if the entire supply of words in their brains had completely evaporated. Lei Ba could only nod stiffly like a wooden chicken, while Faiye continued to clutch her medical elixir bottles with a blank, shocked stare. To them, what stood before their eyes was no longer just "amazing," but akin to a God. However, just as Fang Zhe opened his mouth to explain the secret behind his new technique... Tap... Tap... Tap... The echo of heavy, rhythmic footsteps suddenly resounded from the corridor outside, moving closer toward the private room of Block 10. The sharp sound of military boot soles instantly triggered an alarm of vigilance in Fang Zhe's mind. Given the arrogant and authoritative cadence of the steps, this was definitely no ordinary inmate from Block 10. "Someone's coming

"A black market backed by the Empire... interesting," Fang Zhe muttered, his eyes narrowing as his sharp mind instantly formulated a new strategy. The annoyance he felt toward that money-grubbing system eased slightly. If 12,000 points could only raise him by a single star due to the massive capacity of his Dantian, then he would have to look for a manual alternative. The millions of dollars stored inside the dozens of ATM cards Lei Ba had brought were no longer just dead numbers; they were his golden ticket into the black market to purchase high-quality spiritual resources. "Lei Ba, Faiye, grab the money. We are heading to the black market right now," Fang Zhe commanded, snatching the black robe Faiye had brought and draping it over his shoulders. However, just as his foot took a single step across the threshold of the Block 10 room, the hairs on the back of Fang Zhe’s neck suddenly stood on end. His sharp combat instincts picked up a faint, invisible ripple of energy lurking from

Li Shian walked with the grace of a goddess exiled to a wasteland, her white robe brushing against the spiritual wooden floor with a soft, soothing rustle. Fang Zhe followed from behind, letting his black robe conceal every ripple of the surging energy within his meridians. Creeek... Click. The moment the jade-wood door of Li Shian’s private study closed, absolute silence enveloped them. The room was lined with a high-level soundproof formation, isolating every spoken word from the noisy outside world. Li Shian did not sit down immediately. She turned around slowly, crossing her arms over her chest, and stared straight into the dark opening of Fang Zhe’s black hood. Her eyes, as beautiful as night stars, flashed with deep intelligence. "You can take off your hood now... Fang Zhe," Li Shian said calmly, her voice flat yet laced with absolute certainty. Beneath the darkness of his hood, the corner of Fang Zhe’s lips curved into a faint, cold smile. He showed no signs of shock or pa

Fang Zhe stared at the shimmering jade bamboo scroll on the desk. His eyes narrowed, analyzing the spiritual energy fluctuations that wafted faintly from the ancient inscriptions written upon it. Earth Dragon Marrow Liquid and High-Grade Nine Transformations Soul Purifying Pills. In his assessment, this was more than enough. "Take it all out for me," Fang Zhe said without a single shred of hesitation. His voice sounded absolute, a command from a man who knew exactly what he wanted. Li Shian smiled broadly, her eyes gleaming with the pure satisfaction of a merchant who had just won the biggest lottery of her life. "A very wise decision, Young Master Fang Zhe. Please wait a moment." With movements that were both graceful and efficient, Li Shian used her specialized jade seal to process the fantastic transaction. The balances of the dozens of ATM cards on the table were massively drained, leaving just the exact amount required to redeem the two forbidden resources. Not long after,
