Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 459 Jade Dew Flower

"what?"

Li Zhi let out a light exclamation, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He quickened his pace, took a few steps forward, then bent down and carefully picked a beautiful pink flower.

He looked at the flower carefully, gently put it to his nose and sniffed it, his face instantly lit up with joy, and he murmured to himself, "It's actually a Jade Dew Flower!"

Jade dew flower is the key ingredient in refining Jade dew pill.

The Jade Dew Pill is a unique healing pill with excellent effects.

This unexpected discovery made Li Zhi very happy.

Since leaving the Black Water River, Li Zhi has been on his way while looking for herbs that can be used to make healing pills.

He had originally planned to return the same way he had come, but on the way he encountered a powerful and menacing monster.

Li Zhi knew that the monster was not to be trifled with, so to avoid trouble, he had no choice but to take a detour. Unexpectedly, during this detour, he stumbled upon this Jade Dew Flower.

Li Zhi was overjoyed and quickly put the jade dew flower away properly.

However, before the smile on his lips completely disappeared, he was surprised to find that there were clusters of red and pink jade dew flowers growing in front of him.

Li Zhi widened his eyes. You know, Jade Dew Flowers have always been rare, and now there are so many of them all of a sudden, it's like pie in the sky.

Unable to contain his excitement, he hurried forward and carefully picked each plant, muttering unconsciously, "I'm going to make a fortune now..."

At this moment, a clear voice like a bell suddenly rang out: "Little thief, stop it!"

Li Zhi was startled by the sudden sound. His movements suddenly stopped and he subconsciously raised his head.

He saw a little girl standing not far away with one hand on her hip, pointing at him with one hand. Her little face was red with anger and her eyes were full of unkindness.

Her crisp voice came again: "Who are you? Why did you steal my flowers?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi was stunned at first, and then he realized that these jade flowers were carefully planted by someone.

No wonder there are so many jade dew flowers gathered in this wilderness.

Li Zhi hadn't expected someone to actually grow medicinal herbs in such a remote place. He had been so overwhelmed by the sheer number of Jade Dew Flowers that he hadn't considered this at all.

But after all, he picked other people's herbs without their consent and was caught in the act, so Li Zhi couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

He scratched his head, looked at the little girl apologetically, and said, "I'm so sorry, I didn't realize you were the one who planted these jade flowers. It just so happens that I'm in urgent need of them right now. Little girl, how about I buy them from you with gold or silver?"

As he spoke, Li Zhi reached into his arms and took out a few bright yellow gold ingots.

Li Zhi had a lot of money on him, so when he left the Black Water River, he went to touch the body of the ninth prince of the Wu Kingdom.

The prince was indeed wealthy, but Li Zhi was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so he only picked out some gold and silver to take away. He knew the importance of the jade pendants on Sun Qing's body, which had obvious features and were obviously priceless, so he did not touch them.

In Li Zhi's opinion, although the jade dew flower is rare and precious, with his current financial resources, it should not be a problem to buy some.

Unexpectedly, the little girl didn't even look at the gold Li Zhi took out. She raised her little face and shouted loudly: "Little thief! Watch out!"

After saying that, she quickly reached into the small cloth bag at her waist, grabbed a handful of black powder, and threw it towards Li Zhi.

Li Zhi frowned when he saw this.

Although he didn't know what the little girl had raised, he instinctively realized that no matter what it was, the best strategy was to avoid it.

So, without hesitation, he exerted force on his feet and retreated rapidly like an arrow.

But before he could take a few steps back, his right foot seemed to be tightly bound by something.

Li Zhi looked down and saw a big, thick earthworm wrapped tightly around his foot. The earthworm twisted its body hard and tried to pull him into the soil.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Li Zhi's face. The black sword in his hand flashed with a cold light, and he swung it down in an instant, accurately cutting the earthworm in half.

The earthworms that were broken into two pieces did not die immediately. They twisted a few times, then quickly burrowed into the soil and disappeared.

On Li Zhi's side, he was pulled by the earthworm and his movements paused for a moment, and the black powder raised by the little girl surrounded him.

Li Zhi didn't know what the black powder was used for, but for the sake of caution, he didn't dare to be careless at all.

He quickly raised his left hand and moved his five fingers.

The five copper coins in his hand suddenly flickered and emitted a strange light.

The next moment, a gloomy wind rose from the ground, instantly sweeping away the black powder beside Li Zhi.

At the same time, five little ghosts emitting a strong evil aura appeared out of thin air beside Li Zhi, baring their fangs and claws, as if ready to obey their master's orders and attack the enemy at any time.

When the little girl saw Li Zhi summon the five ghosts, she wasn't afraid at all. Instead, her eyes lit up with excitement, and she was eager to try. She excitedly shouted, "You know magic? Then let's have a fight!"

As soon as she finished shouting, she couldn't wait to run towards Li Zhi.

As she ran, Li Zhi keenly noticed that there were flickering lights behind her, which were obviously signs of some kind of magic.

This surprised Li Zhi. It was surprising that such a young girl had already learned magic.

However, the little girl was still young after all. Li Zhi thought that even if she knew magic, her skills would not be that advanced.

So, he shouted in a low voice: "Five ghosts! Stop her!"

After receiving the order, the five ghosts instantly transformed into five black shadows and attacked the little girl fiercely.

Just as the little girl was about to collide head-on with the five ghosts, a hurried voice came from afar: "Wait!"

Li Zhi's eyes flashed, but he did not immediately stop the five ghosts from attacking.

When the little girl heard the sound, she stopped abruptly.

As soon as she stopped, she was instantly controlled by the five ghosts.

Fortunately, Li Zhi had previously ordered the five ghosts to stop her. If the order had been to let the five ghosts tear her to pieces, the little girl would probably have died by now.

"Anu is playful and has no ill intentions. Please be merciful and let her go."

A young man rushed towards Li Zhi, shouting loudly as he ran.

As soon as he ran to Li Zhi, the young man bowed and saluted sincerely, begging Li Zhi to let the little girl go.

Li Zhi already felt he was in the wrong, after all, he was the one who picked the herbs grown by others first. If the little girl hadn't attacked without a word, Li Zhi wouldn't have easily fought back.

So, seeing the man begging for mercy anxiously, Li Zhi immediately waved his hand. The five ghosts understood their master's intention and immediately let go of the little girl.

After being released, the little girl ran to the young man with a look of grievance on her face.

"You, you are always so playful. Sooner or later, you will suffer a great loss!"

Although the man scolded the little girl harshly, his eyes were full of pampering and love when he looked at the little girl.

After the man finished scolding the little girl, he turned around and bowed to Li Zhi again with a respectful attitude, saying, "Thank you for your generosity, fellow Taoist. My name is Zhong Qing. May I know your name, sir?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi responded with a greeting, "My name is Li Zhi. Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite. This was all caused by me accidentally picking these Jade Dew Flowers. Honestly, I was at fault first."

After saying that, Li Zhi added, "I'm in urgent need of these Jade Dew Flowers. Could I ask if I could buy some from you with gold or silver?"

After hearing what Li Zhi said, Zhong Qing raised his head, looked at Li Zhi, and said slowly: "Is Daoist Fellow injured?"

Li Zhi frowned slightly when he heard this.
