"The Keda Flower, I previously acquired a few from a merchant, but I haven't come across them since."

"I think you have more means than I do, so you should be able to find a way to get this magical flower."

Cao Xing nodded in realization.

"Alright, I understand, it's fine if you can't find it."

"For now, focus on making Holy Water and Advanced Life Secret Medicine."

"As for the other materials, I'll figure something out."

Franciska nodded slightly.

Then, Cao Xing headed to the Storage Box and took out the Magic Potions Sabina had been crafting recently.

[Obtained: Sabina's Nightmare Potion (green) *463]

[Obtained: Sabina's Nightmare Potion (blue) *135]

…

There were nearly 600 bottles, quite impressive.

He glanced at Sabina beside him and praised, "Sabina did a great job, keep it up."

This woman, the doctor and poison master of the territory, showed great respect towards Cao Xing.

She immediately turned around respectfully and bowed.

"I will continue to work hard, thank you for the encouragement, Lord."

Cao Xing smiled, then left the Alchemy Workshop.

After that, he headed hastily to the vicinity of the [Tavern], then clicked on the [Recruitment] function.

As the Tavern's level increased, the cooldown for this function had now become once every two days.

It had already cooled down since yesterday, so it was time to utilize it.

After doing all this, Cao Xing continued to ponder: "Next, I need to contact Ji Xinyue to trade some Cold Spirit Water in the market and make it into Extreme Ice Water."

"Then, head to the Lord Mansion and activate the effects on the Shining Throne to see if it can lead me to some precious resource points."

"After that, there shouldn't be much to do, just wait for the midnight update."

With this in mind, Cao Xing quickly took action.

He opened his friend list, looking at the only two names on it.

Besides Ji Xinyue, there was only Yao Yiming.

However, although he only had two friends, the message section was flooded with an enormous number of notifications.

Not 99+, but 9999+

There were tens of thousands of messages piled up.

These were all messages sent by other survivors.

Some expressed a desire to move their families to join Cao Xing's territory.

Others wanted to collaborate with him to explore a special area, claiming it was full of treasures!

Some even attempted to recruit him to be a Legion Commander or Vice Commander.

For these messages, Cao Xing cleared them all with one click.

There might be some useful information among them, but going through each one would take an entire day.

Then, he sent a message to Ji Xinyue.

"It's been a while, I have something to trouble you with."

Cao Xing was quite straightforward, getting straight to the point.

Soon, a message came from the other side.

"Cao Xing, it's been a while!"

"Just tell me what you need, I'm always available."

Cao Xing smiled and replied, "I need some Cold Spirit Water right now, and you have a spring, right? I was hoping you could help gather some Cold Spirit Water and trade it to me through the market."

"Of course, if you're missing anything, feel free to let me know."

Ji Xinyue responded without hesitation, "Oh, that's no trouble at all, I'll get it for you right away."

Cao Xing was slightly taken aback.

Ji Xinyue suddenly realized she had let her accent slip.

She quickly apologized, "Sorry, Cao Xing, it came out naturally!"

Cao Xing chuckled, "No worries, thank you for your help."

"It's no trouble, I'll head over now!"

…

Meanwhile, in Ji Xinyue's territory.

She quickly ended the call and jogged out of the Lord's Hut, with the survivors outside greeting her.

"Hello, Commander!"

"Good day, beautiful Lord!"

Ji Xinyue casually replied, "Alright, alright, I'm a bit busy now, can't greet everyone individually~"

With that, she leapt onto the back of the tiger and shouted, "Little Tiger, let's go!"

Instantly, the tiger rushed out of the territory with Ji Xinyue.

"Clatter, clatter..."

The rhythmic sound of the tiger's footsteps echoed throughout the territory.

Its running speed was incredibly fast, reaching the spring in just a few minutes.

Ji Xinyue jumped off the tiger's back, took out several large 30-liter buckets from her backpack, and began collecting Cold Spirit Water.

Soon, she had filled over a hundred buckets.

Even the water level of the spring had noticeably lowered.

She patted her backpack and satisfactorily said, "Hehe, this should be enough."

…

A few minutes later, Cao Xing saw Ji Xinyue's message.

"Cao Xing, it's all done!"

"I set the trade information in the market, only you can trade, just go ahead and place your bid."

He quickly opened the market, entered 'Cold Spirit Water', and indeed saw a consignment listing.

He looked at it, and there were 3000 liters...

"Wow! She collected so much at once?"

He smiled, clicked to purchase, and a trading window popped up.

Ji Xinyue placed all the hundred buckets of Cold Spirit Water on the window.

Cao Xing also placed 20 bottles of Intermediate Life Secret Medicine, along with a [Qingjin Longsword (Purple)]

This longsword was something he... picked up, not stole, from the Weapons Shop in Dorun Lake City.

He had many such Level 30 purple weapons in his backpack.

Additionally, he had a golden sword weapon — [Revelation Sword].
