Sima Manli took the initiative and spent thousands of taels of silver to buy Pei Jinye medicinal ingredients for replenishing Vitality, in addition to more than a hundred ancient books.

"The Liyue Sword Sect... is indeed very powerful," Qian the shopkeeper finally said after a moment of silence: "In the past, the Imperial Family of the Ancient Yao Light Country wanted to enlist the Liyue Sword Sect, but were refused. For many years now, the Yao Light Country has not dared to act against it. The Liu family is really lucky to be able to be taken in by it."
