Everyone enjoyed this al imnsely.
Nobody discussed business; everyone just chatted about trivial matters, deepening their feelings for each other.
Li Yunjing had essentially achieved his goal of gathering everyone, which pleased him greatly.
"Young Master Li! I’ve taken care of the Geng tal matter, and there are 200 spirit stones left. Please take them."
As the banquet ended and the cold wind howled, Ma Xingyuan naturally accompanied Li Yunjing on the way back and spoke up when no one else was around.
"Forget it! Fatty, you’re my friend! You keep those 200 spirit stones and use them to improve your cultivation. When we enter the Inner Sect, I expect you to help out!"
Li Yunjing waved his hand dismissively, rejecting the spirit stones Ma Xingyuan offered.
If it were before, he would have readily accepted them.
But having recently co into a fortune, 200 spirit stones were now insignificant to him.
Ma Xingyuan had a good relationship with him and always considered his interests, so who else would he help if not Ma Xingyuan?
He couldn’t just remain a solitary figure.
If that were the case, what would be the point of joining the Shenxiao Dao Sect?
This ti, after seeing Xu Xun’s might, he realized just how capable a disciple could beco!
Xu Xun was his next target!
He wanted to be that kind of person!
To make a na for himself, displaying might and power!
He thought that once Yu Yunyi saw his achievents in the future, she would also see him in a different light.
At that mont, Li Yunjing thought of Yu Yunyi again.
In the past, he had no cultivation, no wealth, so he kept his respect for Yunyi from a distance.
Now, with abundant wealth and exceptional prowess, Li Yunjing’s confidence had greatly increased, feeling he could face the young lady as an equal.
He couldn’t help but recall this perfect woman.
"Thank you, Young Master Li!"
Ma Xingyuan was overjoyed. The last ti, Li Yunjing had said the sa thing to him.
But Ma Xingyuan thought it was just a polite gesture and didn’t take it seriously.
He didn’t expect Young Master Li to truly refuse the 200 spirit stones.
This generosity truly befit an eldest young master!
spirit stones almost equaled Ma Xingyuan’s annual inco.
Li Yunjing nodded and said, "Cultivate well! Don’t just indulge in food and drink. Improve your cultivation early. I estimate I’ll enter the Inner Sect next year. You should hurry too. That way, I can help you more!"
Although Li Yunjing spoke nonchalantly, Ma Xingyuan was deeply moved. He knew this was Li Yunjing’s genuine concern, treating him as his own.
"Senior brother, rest assured! I understand! I will strive hard!"
Seizing the opportunity, Ma Xingyuan collected himself, formally promising Li Yunjing.
"Hahaha! Good! You can do it!"
Li Yunjing nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself that he should help as many of his friends as he could.
In the future, if anything happened, there would be others to help.
Just like how Yu Yunyi had helped him.
The future debts would have to be repaid, and repaid in double, depending on Li Yunjing’s capability and conscience.
After resting for a night, Li Yunjing returned to the Scripture Pavilion the next day.
Yan Dingzhi saw Li Yunjing, looked him over, and smiled, "Brother Li, I’m glad you’re alright!"
"What?"
Li Yunjing was slightly stunned, finding Yan Dingzhi’s gaze peculiar, making him uncomfortable.
"Brother Li, the news of you eliminating a ninth-tier Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator has spread like wildfire in the Scripture Pavilion! Brother Li, you are remarkable!"
While speaking, Yan Dingzhi gave Li Yunjing a thumbs-up.
It turned out, after the mission ended, in the past few days, Li Yunjing’s na had spread throughout the sect.
Of the thirty people who returned from the mission, many Inner Sect disciples and Outer Sect disciples now looked at Li Yunjing with newfound respect.
Talking to familiar friends about the dangers of the task, many ntioned Li Yunjing’s feat of killing a Qi Cultivation Realm Great Perfection cultivator.
Defeating soone four realms above and erging unscathed, such skill made him stand out among the Outer Sect disciples.
The news spread wildly, becoming more exaggerated.
So even said Li Yunjing dispatched a Qi Cultivation Realm Great Perfection cultivator with a single swift strike!
This made Li Yunjing the first Outer Sect disciple to have such a feat, without even knowing it.
The exaggeration was astonishing!
"Uh! That? It was pure luck! Luck! A sneak attack, not to be taken seriously!"
Li Yunjing forced a smile, thinking to himself, "This is troubleso! I’ve beco famous! Not to ntion Wei Henian’s targeting, even the spring contest next year will likely have many aiming at !"
After gaining fa, Li Yunjing found himself with more troubles.
But overall, the pros outweighed the cons.
As seen now, Yan Dingzhi was obviously more enthusiastic towards Li Yunjing, with a subtle hint of fear in his words.
In fact, many were like Yan Dingzhi. His second team mbers all looked at Li Yunjing with admiration.
They weren’t foolish; if faced with a Qi Cultivation Realm Great Perfection cultivator, they’d be dead with no chance of survival!
Their team leader was unhard, not even slightly injured—could this be explained simply by luck?
Without top-notch combat ability, how could one have the opportunity to ambush the opponent?
Who were they kidding!
All were disciples of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, not clueless beginner cultivators, and fully aware of the dangers involved.
"Haha! Alright! Everyone get to work!"
Seeing his team mbers acting this way, Li Yunjing was exasperated, realizing he had truly beco a famous figure.
"Yes! Brother Li!"
Many responded loudly, even the team’s troublemaker Jin Shouyun looked at him with awe.
The gaze was so intense that it made Li Yunjing a bit uncomfortable.
Among his team mbers, Zhou Ruying and Yuan Hongzhi, two beautiful girls, spoke to him softly, their large eyes full of admiration.
"Brother Li, we’re off to work."
Zhou Ruying smiled, her eyes shimring with charm, though she couldn’t voice her admiration openly due to the crowd.
"Go on! Good luck, everyone!"
Li Yunjing sighed, never expecting the Immortal Cultivation Realm to be so pragmatic.
Zhou Ruying and Yuan Hongzhi hadn’t spoken to him this way before.
They had just been colleagues, following his orders.
Now, everything had changed.
Yuan Hongzhi was even more amusing, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl often glanced back at him with her sparkling eyes, making Li Yunjing feel like a male idol.
"Hehehe! Brother Li, if you succeed in the future, you must look out for !"
Yan Dingzhi chuckled, coughing lightly, and said politely, then led his team away.
Li Yunjing then idly read the books on the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion.
Not long after, a familiar elderly expert appeared beside him again.
The old man smiled leisurely, "Young friend Li, congratulations! You’ve now gained fa, becoming one of the outstanding ones among the nearly hundred thousand Outer Sect disciples."
Clearly, the old man had heard Li Yunjing’s na being discussed by others.
Li Yunjing’s achievents had piqued the old man’s curiosity.
"Uh... the old man is watching again!"
Li Yunjing murmured inwardly, shaking his head, "Senior, I’m well aware of my own modest abilities. These rumors are exaggerated and shouldn’t be taken seriously!"
Li Yunjing had to deny such things.
Let them say whatever they wanted!
If asked, he would flatly deny!
"Hmm! I didn’t expect such maturity from one so young, not losing yourself in flattery."
The old man seed slightly surprised but then smiled again, apparently pleased.
After chatting with the old man for a while, Li Yunjing finally asked, "Senior, are the Scriptures and Divine Techniques on the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion ant for Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivators?"
After getting familiar with the old man, Li Yunjing grew curious about the books on the upper floor!
He had worked here for several months but had never been to the second floor and was very curious.
To Li Yunjing’s question, the old man seed unsurprised. He lowered his voice and said, "You are already very familiar with the first floor. You can freely browse. However, the second floor is different. It houses high-tier abnormal techniques and minor divine techniques. These secret manuals are highly valuable and require a fee to read. Staff mbers receive a 20% discount."
"A fee?"
Li Yunjing was taken aback, not expecting this outco.
"Hehe! Of course! Knowledge is priceless! The cultivation techniques above form complete systems, allowing at least cultivation to the Foundation Establishnt Realm. For you geniuses, they are all worth referencing. As for those minor divine techniques and abnormal techniques, they are even more potent. Think of how you used the Ghostly Vortex Blade to achieve a deadly strike against a Qi Cultivation Realm Great Perfection cultivator. You’ll understand the value of these secret techniques!"
The old man chuckled, finding Li Yunjing’s expression quite interesting.
"Indeed! Such techniques are truly valuable!"
Li Yunjing nodded in agreent and asked, "I wonder if I could use contribution points or spirit stones to access the second floor and read the related cultivation techniques early?"
"Hmm?"
The old man paused, then smiled, "Looks like you’ve made quite a fortune during your trip."
"Indeed! Killing a Qi Cultivation Realm Great Perfection cultivator naturally yielded many treasures. I can afford to be extravagant!"
Li Yunjing admitted openly.
If he had tried to hide it, it would’ve aroused more suspicion. It was better to attribute his gains to the level of the Qi Cultivation Realm Great Perfection cultivator.
That way, many might be envious, but none would take extre risks against him.
Sure enough, the old man simply nodded, showing no particular interest.
Apparently, the old man didn’t think an ordinary Qi Cultivation Realm Great Perfection tribulation cultivator would have much wealth!
At best, this cultivator robbed others, making him wealthier than the average Qi Cultivation Realm Great Perfection cultivator by one or two tis.
This amount of wealth was nothing compared to the Foundation Establishnt Realm.
The old man didn’t know that this tribulation cultivator had amassed a considerable stash of resources!
"Young friend Li, if you wish to view the second floor, I can recomnd you. However, it requires a queue, so you might need to wait a month."
The old man seed very enthusiastic, even offering this suggestion.
Li Yunjing had casually asked, not holding much hope, just giving it a try.
He didn’t expect it to potentially succeed!
"Thank you, senior! How can I repay you?"
Li Yunjing happily bowed to the old man.
"Hehe! Repay ? No need. Your current capability cannot offer any help."
The old man shook his head, a hint of sadness briefly flashing across his face before returning to normal. He added, "You can use this ti to read more on the first floor. I’ll recomnd so books for you. That way, when you access the second floor, you will have a foundation, not wasting a precious opportunity."
