I was taken to the camp and placed in a tent to wait. After a while, a chamberlain came to explain the etiquette of meeting His Majesty. It is really troublesome to meet the emperor of any country. While I was studying, a guard came in and said that he was conveying His Majesty's order to take me there. At this time, Maoqiu told me that the owner was this person and that he had a foreign soul.

When I heard Maoqiu say this, I secretly remembered this person's appearance. If I had the chance, I would take a look at where he lived to see if there was any chance of absorbing that foreign soul.

The guards took me all the way to the largest and most gorgeous tent in the middle of the camp, and told me inside that someone had brought it. I heard someone inside telling me to take someone in, so I was taken in. I performed the courtesy of a chamberlain, and I didn't dare to get up until I heard someone above me give way. Only a woman's voice was heard, Your Majesty, it was this person who saved Dali. I had to pretend to be more respectable, and I still had to pretend to be respectful when I felt unhappy. Liao Xingzong asked me where I was from, what I did, etc., and I answered them one by one. Liao Xingzong asked, why are you with the Jurchens? I lowered my head and replied, Your Majesty, I heard that they had century-old ginseng in their hands, so I wanted to take a look. Liao Xingzong said that you need ginseng. I replied that I am in the medicinal materials business and the price of century-old ginseng is very high in Song Dynasty.

When Liao Xingzong heard that I was a businessman, he lost interest all of a sudden and said to me, if you save Dali's life, I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold. You can stay and attend the bonfire party in the evening and then go back. I will come back immediately. Kneel down and give thanks.

I really thank you from my heart, otherwise I really wouldn’t have had the chance to do it, but this emperor is really stingy, a hundred taels of gold is only enough to buy two good ginseng plants.

Emperor Liao asked me to step aside, so I turned around and came out. When I came out, there was a waiter standing outside the tent, holding a plate with four gold ingots on it. I took the plate from the top and thanked the waiter. The same guard who brought me here returned me to the tent just now and told me that someone would come and ask me to attend the bonfire party later.

I had no choice but to wait. I took out the gold I just got. This thing is really beautiful. It is completely different from the gold ingots sold in modern gold stores. It just looks like a shrunken and thickened insole. But its two ends are the same size, and the middle is tucked in.

My golden beans are still beautiful, so I only left one on my body, and the other three were put into the space, so that the fur balls all turned into golden beans. I told Maoqiu that it would be great if my golden beans could give birth to little golden beans, then I would have endless golden beans. Maoqiu said, Master, you have to wait until your repair value reaches 50%, so that you can increase your physical ability. I was very surprised. Can I also have the ability to visualize? But you need to consume energy to use the ability to visualize. Do I also need to consume energy? Maoqiu said, yes, what you have to consume is also soul energy. With the owner's current soul strength, it can be used once every ten days.

Do I have so little soul energy? Maoqiu said, yes, but it is already much stronger than ordinary people. You still have to continue to increase the repair value to protect your own soul. As the repair value increases, your soul energy also increases. When your soul energy is full, you can be like me and use your tools anytime and anywhere.

The bonfire party in the evening was quite lively, with all the ministers eating and drinking around the fire. I, a commoner, was placed in the second row because I had helped save the imperial concubine. I was surrounded by some high-ranking aristocratic ministers. No one thought highly of me, let alone me. People talked to me...

I just ate my food quietly, and it was nice to watch the beauties dancing. I kept paying attention to the guard. He was no longer beside the emperor, but standing on the outside. I have to find an opportunity to take action, otherwise I will have to leave after the party is over. Seeing that no one was paying attention to me, I stood up from my position, walked outside, saw the guard, and walked towards him.

Guard brother, can you please take me to the toilet? The guard was obviously stunned for a moment, but maybe it was because he was still in the soul. He didn't reject me, but told me to come with me. The road was a bit far.

The road to the toilet was very far away. When I saw that there was no one around, I knocked out the guard from behind. The one who hit him was the tiger bone I bought before, which was taken out from the space, or the thigh bone. Not to mention that the bone was really strong.. Drag the person behind the tree on the roadside and let the fur ball absorb the foreign soul. As for the guard, just let him faint behind the tree. He probably won't wake up again. His original soul was devoured by the subsequent soul. Without a soul, he is just an empty shell.

I returned to my seat and sat down. I looked around and no one noticed that I had left. Just when I was wondering if I was eating something, a waiter brought a plate of freshly grilled meat and said: Rewarded by the imperial concubine. I hurriedly stood up to express my gratitude. I thought in my mind that I had to express my gratitude by eating a plate of meat. I might as well not eat it. It was really annoying.

Maoqiu told me that the repair value of the soul just absorbed has increased by five points. Master, your repair value is now 38 points.

Soon the bonfire party ended, and a chamberlain escorted me out of the camp. Seeing that it was already getting late, I had no choice but to drive the carriage away from the camp and then find a place to spend the night.

After walking for a long time, we found a sheltered place. We set up a tent and slept in the wild overnight. Fortunately, it’s just autumn and the weather isn’t too cold yet, and I have all the things in my space.

It was already noon when I got up the next day. After lunch, I got on the carriage again and rushed to the Jurchen tribe.

After walking for another two days, I still couldn't catch up with Aji and the others. I began to wonder if I had gone the wrong way. I rode straight ahead on the next road and put the carriage into the space.

Riding on horseback was much faster, and it took me another day to catch up with Aji and the others. They were also very happy to see me chasing after them. One of them has developed some feelings for me as we have been together all the way, and the second is that they have a teammate with high strength, which makes them feel safer.

It took another seven days to arrive at Aji's tribe. The tribe was only about 200 people in total. As soon as Aji and the others entered the tribe, they were welcomed by everyone. The old chief also came out and saw Aji and the others bringing them. I am very happy to have the supplies back. With these, they can live a better life this winter.

Aji introduced me to the old patriarch and said that I bought all their goods and that I came here to buy ginseng. The old patriarch invited me into his earthen house and said that I could live with them. He would tell the people in the tribe about the ginseng. There were several old ginseng customers in the tribe, and each family had ginseng. In stock.

You have to bring some gifts when you are a guest at someone else's house. I pretended to be getting something from the carriage and dug out a few pieces of Liao specialty fabric I bought in Tokyo. I gave them to the old patriarch's wife as if I was a guest. The old lady was very happy when she took the fabric as a gift, saying that she could make clothes for her grandchildren during the Chinese New Year.
