Because Li Shiming disappeared for several decades, the value of Fourth Grade Spirit Tea of this top quality on the Central State Continent was inflated to sky-high levels, becoming increasingly precious as it grew scarce.
Most critically, this Fourth Grade Spirit Tea has an effect on the cultivation of Great Cultivators, almost becoming a kind of resource for them.
When the news of Li Shiming's betrayal at the Central State Commerce headquarters reached Liu Ziyun's ears years ago, Liu Ziyun furiously criticized the headquarters for their shortsightedness.
Not to mention Li Shiming's level in alchemy, even his skill in brewing Spirit Tea is enough to gain the attention of any power.
And then for the sake of benefits among superpowers, they sold out someone like Li Shiming who could generate resources for Great Cultivators—a definite blunder.
