After Li Zhirui finished counting the spiritual objects, he set off from Green Wood Market. However, he didn't immediately return to Da Rong Island, but instead, prepared to check out that first-order Spirit Vein discovered by the Xingshi Golden Core.
If the Spirit Vein was unclaimed, he would conveniently take it into his space. If it had already been discovered by someone else, then Li Zhirui could continue flying northeast, enter the Wood Spirit Market, and sell the spiritual objects that he had no use for.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators who died in the cave dwelling were frequently active in Green Wood Market. If he sold them here, it was highly likely they would be recognized, so for safety's sake, it was more prudent to switch locations.
"Too late," said Li Zhirui, who was piloting the Spirit Boat, looking down at the Spirit Vein below guarded by cultivators with a hint of regret.
