Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 139 Departure

Li Zhi stretched his hands and feet and moved them around, carefully feeling the condition of his body.

Li Zhi was relieved to find that his injuries had almost recovered. In order to heal his injuries, he had spent a lot of money and refined a lot of pills.

Now he has finally recovered, but Li Zhi has stayed here for a long time just to heal his wounds. He has decided that it is time to leave.

Li Zhi packed up all his things, but now Li Zhi had nothing to pack. Most of the things he brought with him were consumed in refining pills.

He even ate up all the dry food. If it weren't for the hundred-eyed insects that went out to hunt for some meat, Li Zhi would have run out of food long ago.

Moreover, he had very little money left. When he was with Master Liu before, Master Liu was extremely extravagant. He wanted to eat well, live well, and his main purpose was to enjoy himself.

Li Zhi was forced by Master Liu's tyranny to not dare to say anything and could only pay silently. In addition, he had no other source of income, so he only spent money and did not earn much, so naturally he did not have much money left.

Li Zhi turned his attention to the pills he had refined.

During this period of time, he was either practicing, regulating his breathing and healing his injuries, or making pills.

All the materials that Li Zhi brought were wasted by him. Although the success rate of making pills was not high, it could not be helped because Li Zhi practiced a lot and practiced diligently.

Li Zhi, who had never had the opportunity to properly refine pills, developed an interest in it while refining it here.

He was in a good mood and didn't necessarily want to refine healing pills. He would refine pills with other effects based on all the materials he had.

He was refining the pills in this way with great concentration and unknowingly produced a lot of pills.

In addition to giving some to the Hundred-eyed Worm to taste, Li Zhi ate some himself, and there were still quite a few pills left.

Among these pills, there are those for healing and those for detoxification. There are many types. Some of them can be sold and exchanged for silver or other things.

Li Zhi thought so in his heart.

Then, after he sorted and put away all the pills, he murmured softly, "It's time to leave."

Although the time spent refining pills here made Li Zhi very relaxed, without any interference from the outside world, he could concentrate on refining pills and practicing, which made him feel like he only needed to concentrate on practicing hard when he was in Xiaoyao Mountain and didn't have to worry about other things.

But he knew he couldn't allow himself to continue to indulge in this way.

Although his injuries are almost healed now, in fact his strength is only a little more than half of what it used to be.

After all, Li Zhi's heart fire is now closed, liver wood is dormant, and lung metal is too fierce, so Li Zhi dare not use it at all.

The five internal organs meridians that he had always relied on were completely useless at this time. For Li Zhi, this was as painful as losing a hand.

Moreover, having lost the Five Organs Qi provided by the Five Organs Meridians, Li Zhi could only use the common Qi-nourishing Techniques taught by Master Liu to replenish the Qi in his body, but this was not enough.

You know, Li Zhi has practiced four magic spells.

They say having too many skills is good, but in fact it really is...

So Li Zhi didn't dare to delay any longer and wanted to speed up his original plan as soon as possible.

He had to find the stone god first to see who he was and get the earth energy in his hands first.

The five internal organs meridians have always been Li Zhi's top priority, and now he is in urgent need of the five elements' qi.

The earth energy in the Stone God's hand is the only clue to the five elements energy that Li Zhi knows at present. Li Zhi is also worried that if he delays any further, if something unexpected happens and causes the earth energy to disappear, he will not know where to find the five elements energy for a while.

Just like that, Li Zhi packed up his things and resolutely left this place where he had relaxed for a short time.

 …

Yongguo, the capital.

As the capital of a country, the prosperity of Beijing is unquestionable. The streets are busy with cars and pedestrians and there are many shops.

The entire city is huge in scale and is the largest one in Yongguo. It is quite majestic. After all, this capital city represents the face of Yongguo.

In the capital city, with the magnificent imperial palace as its center, it continues to expand in all directions.

The entire capital city is divided into the inner city and the outer city.

There is a saying in Beijing: The capital is divided into two levels, the inner level is for the nobles, and the outer level is for the devils.

This means that people who live in the inner city are either rich or noble, while people who live in the outer city are mostly poor.

The inner city is divided into four areas: east, west, south and north.

Among them, the East District is the most distinguished, and all those who live here are high-ranking officials above the third rank.

And in this noble East District, there is a quaint and elegant small house.

The person living in this small house is Lord He, who had just returned to the court not long ago and became a first-rank minister.

Although this small house is far inferior to Lord He’s mansion in Pingtian Village in terms of scale and luxury, it has a unique charm and is simple and ancient.

Every time Lord He entered or left this house, he would have an expression of great honor on his face.

Because this house was gifted to Lord He by the current emperor. Anything gifted by the emperor, even a piece of feces, is a sacred object.

Not to mention that the emperor rewarded her with a house, which is not only a residence, but also the emperor's compassion and favor.

This is the greatest honor!

At the hour of Mao that day, the sky was still gray and not yet bright, and a light layer of mist was floating in the air.

As usual, Lord He dressed in an orderly manner with the careful help of his maid.

Afterwards, he got on the sedan chair and, escorted by his two guards Zhang Dongze and Fang Cheng, came to the palace to prepare to attend court.

Lord He went to attend court, so Zhang Dongze and the others naturally needed to wait outside the palace.

So they came to a restaurant nearby with familiarity.

As soon as they entered, they saw that it was already very lively inside. These people were all like Zhang Dongze and his friends, servants who were escorting their masters to court.

It was obvious that this was not the first time that Zhang Dongze and Fang Cheng came. The waiter saw them and said politely, "Brother Zhang and Brother Fang, you are here. Are we still following the usual rules today?"

Zhang Dongze nodded and said, "Okay, you arrange it."

Having said that, he and Fang Cheng found a table and sat down.

Zhang Dongze is a very generous person, so he is quite familiar with other people here.

When the people around saw Zhang Dongze coming, they all greeted him.

After the waiter brought the food and wine, Zhang Dongze and Fang Cheng drank some wine while listening to the people around them chatting and bragging.

As he was drinking, suddenly, a piece of news came into Zhang Dongze's ears, and his eyes lit up instantly.

He pulled the man next to him over, widened his eyes and asked, "Is what you just said true?"

The man was talking fine, but was almost dragged away for no apparent reason. He was about to scold, but unexpectedly he ran into Zhang Dongze with a ferocious expression.

He was so frightened that he trembled and dared not utter the dirty words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Is what you just said true?" Seeing that the man didn't say anything, Zhang Dongze continued to ask in a hurried tone.

The man calmed down and then said, "It must be true. A merchant from the South China Sea came to visit my master yesterday, and I heard him say it with my own ears!"

Zhang Dongze suddenly grinned, then smoothed the wrinkled clothes he had pulled towards the man, apologized to him, and said, "I'm so sorry, brother, what are you eating today? I'll treat you..."

Fang Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Dongze, not knowing what he was thinking.
