<div>Everyone trembled when they heard Ming Li''s words. The black robed man stood with imposing aura as if he was waiting for everyone to kneel and beg for their lives.
Ming Li knelt and threw a cube towards the black robe man as he said "Young master, please spare my life."
The black robe man nodded in response and took Ming Li''s cube. Everyone that saw his actions felt that they should do the same to save their lives. One by one they knelt and begged for their lives as they offer their cubes.
Ming Li grinned while facing the ground as the black robed man collected their cube. The black robed man then looked at everyone with a cold gaze and said "I am aware that this is not everything you have, however I will make sure that you suffer if I am not pleased with the contents of your cube. So make sure that the amount in here is worth your life!"
Ming Li didn''t want to corner the merchants more, but he already robbed the group out of rage and could only see it through the end. He already robbed them a bit so he thought, why not get the most out of it.
Everyone shuddered and some pulled out another cube and passed it to the black robed man. They were a bit hesitant and suspicious, because they cannot find any other person accompanying this person from the black spider guild. However they did not dare to act rashly and end up regretting their actions in the end, so they willingly cooperated.
<div>
The good thing is that he does''t require demonic energy to just casually control the man. The man seems to be too weak compared to the puppet, so it could not even dare to fight back the puppet.
<div>
There are random herbs and items in the merchant''s cube, but it wasn''t much. Even the demon''s grace inside of it was only six. He never expected much out of those merchants, but for them to act so conceited and charge him with unfair price made him think that they might have a good amount.
Overall he got six cubes, which didn''t make him feel satisfied. He resorted to robbery and would only gather so little.
<div>
Ming Li then tapped his cube and gathered all of his demon''s grace. He glanced at the demon''s grace and with a resolute expression, he started creating demonic nature''s dew.
While traveling, he would often absorb demonic nature''s dew.
This continued for several days which made him increase his level by one, however this increase in level was achieved by completely consuming all of his demon''s grace.
Ming Li felt crestfallen, he never thought that his need for demon''s grace would dramatically increase when he became a seeker.
If he could only puke the fruit he ate just to get his normal core back, he would do it without a second thought.
<div>
Ming Li rushed near the outskirts of the town and had Dippy check around.
Everything that Dippy saw were transmitted to the puppet where Ming Li could also see it through their connection.
<div>
Dippy walked around the town and asked around if there is a base of black spider guild nearby. Luckily, even the town has members of black spider guild they were only passing by and they have no power in this town.
Ming Li brimmed with joy when he discovered that this is the place where the Main Crystal Leaf sect is located. He had long since decided to go to the main sect to boost his strength while hiding from the Black Spider Guild.
When he confirmed his safety in the town, he entered it and made dippy go back to the puppet.
Along the way, he saw that the town is named Garden of Life. Ming Li thought that the whole place was too big to be considered a garden, but he can''t do anything about the name of the town. He felt bothered with this because he was unusually proud of his naming sense, and felt that he could name the town better.
<div>
The amount of crystal leaf he can see may reach millions! Ming Li could''t help but be amazed on how long it took the sect to create so many crystal leaf.
<div>
The man looked at Ming Li deeply and said "Entry Denied."
