Who would have known, the surprises were not over yet. Li Yunjing pulled out five Tier Two Talismans from the "Storage Ring".
Seeing the Tier Two Talismans gleaming on the table, Ma Xingyuan’s confidence soared. He loudly promised, "Young Master Li! Rest assured! I will definitely take first place this ti!"
There’s no reason for failure!
Fifty thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones can buy the best "Qi Replenishing Pills", allowing one to refine their mana to the peak and break through to the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining Realm.
And the remaining Spirit Stones can be used to purchase a powerful set of Top Grade Magical Artifacts.
There might even be more leftover to buy so Forbidden Artifacts to comprehensively enhance battle strength.
Now with five Five Elents Talismans, he can suppress the cultivation techniques, secret techniques, and divine techniques of most cultivators.
Ma Xingyuan truly couldn’t think of any reason for failure.
It was rare for him to make such a confident declaration.
Su Guo, Jin Shouyun, Yue Zhouwang, and Hou Boyan all nodded as they watched this scene, feeling hopeful that they might achieve first place in the Outer Sect competition with so many great things.
This is sothing even a dog could accomplish if tied to a at bun!
Li Yunjing seriously looked at Ma Xingyuan, feeling that this fatty might be a bit unreliable.
Maybe it was his subjective opinion?
One look at that comical smile, and it felt like Ma Xingyuan couldn’t fight?
I’ve placed a heavy bet; you can’t lose!
Thinking of the investnt he had prepared for the Outer Sect competition, Li Yunjing started feeling uneasy.
The investnt into Ma Xingyuan, Su Guo, Jin Shouyun, Yue Zhouwang, and Hou Boyan wasn’t a massive sum.
The real highlight was the profit from manipulating Ma Xingyuan, the dark horse.
That profit could be worth millions of Spirit Stones!
Last year, Li Yunjing gained so fa, making his dark horse status not so dark.
Ma Xingyuan was different, a completely unknown person.
Serving in logistical tasks, he had never participated in battles.
What kind of combat power could such a person have?
Any investigation into Ma Xingyuan’s background would reveal that he barely had any combat power.
Forget about the top sixty-four, he might not even pass the first round.
Such a person would be easily overlooked.
Who would believe Ma Xingyuan could make it to the end?
This was one of the reasons Li Yunjing chose Ma Xingyuan.
"Hmm! I’ll lend you this ’Celestial Spirit Cold Sword’ as well! Rember to return it once you’ve succeeded."
After pondering, Li Yunjing decided to bet further to ensure nothing went wrong. He then took a Spirit Sword out from the "Storage Ring".
"Spiritual Artifact!"
Su Guo, Jin Shouyun, Yue Zhouwang, and Hou Boyan exclaid almost simultaneously, their voices trembling.
No one expected Li Yunjing to go to such lengths to secure first place in the Outer Sect competition!
Even a pig could win with all this!
Thinking of this, Su Guo, Jin Shouyun, Yue Zhouwang, and Hou Boyan looked at Ma Xingyuan, who indeed seed like a fat pig.
The four regretted imnsely!
If they had known Li Yunjing would rise in a year, they would have suppressed their cultivation and not broken through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining Realm.
Who wouldn’t soar with such resources?
Wasting a year’s ti would be nothing!
Su Guo, Jin Shouyun, Yue Zhouwang, and Hou Boyan all doubted that Ma Xingyuan might reach the Foundation Establishnt Realm before them!
Actually, Li Yunjing did intend to cultivate Ma Xingyuan.
As his friend, Ma Xingyuan’s aptitude was low and his foundation was shallow.
Following the usual cultivation pace, Li Yunjing doubted whether Ma Xingyuan would reach Foundation Establishnt when he reached Great Perfection of Foundation Establishnt Realm.
Under such circumstances, as a friend, Li Yunjing wanted to give Ma Xingyuan a hand while he was still capable.
Of course, it wasn’t limitless help!
This ti was essentially the biggest assistance Li Yunjing could give Ma Xingyuan.
If Ma Xingyuan couldn’t make it on his future path, Li Yunjing wouldn’t be able to help any further.
Moreover, aiding Ma Xingyuan this ti was also a justified action.
Among the five present, only Ma Xingyuan was eligible for the Outer Sect competition.
The others couldn’t say much.
Once Ma Xingyuan claid the first place in the Outer Sect competition as a dark horse, Li Yunjing would also receive many rewards.
Whether it’s Ma Xingyuan’s first-place reward or the profit from external bets, Li Yunjing could earn tens of thousands or even millions of Low Grade Spirit Stones.
Overall, this matter was more beneficial than harmful to Li Yunjing.
"Young Master Li! Watch ! I will definitely be first this ti!"
Ma Xingyuan boldly stated, coming to Li Yunjing’s side and hastily packing all the good items on the table into his Storage Bag.
Seeing Ma Xingyuan still using a Storage Bag, Li Yunjing frowned and threw him a "Hundred Treasures Pouch", saying indifferently, "Use this."
"Thank you, Young Master Li!"
A delighted Ma Xingyuan quickly transferred his items from the Storage Bag into the "Hundred Treasures Pouch".
Watching Ma Xingyuan’s movents, everyone was speechless.
Ma Xingyuan had five or six Storage Bags on him, mainly filled with Demon Beast flesh, fine wine, and top-grade ingredients. Besides these, items related to cultivators were scarce.
"What a glutton!"
Su Guo, Jin Shouyun, Yue Zhouwang, and Hou Boyan almost simultaneously had similar thoughts.
Li Yunjing couldn’t help but sigh.
Fatty, oh fatty!
Your fat is truly well-earned!
Ma Xingyuan wasn’t naturally prone to gaining weight!
It’s all through eating!
When Ma Xingyuan carefully stored the items, Li Yunjing looked at the five, instructing, "During the Outer Sect competition, if I can’t return from the border, go find ’Yu Yunyi’ from Rising Sun Peak. She is my partner. In my absence, follow her orders!"
"Yes, Young Master Li, we understand!"
Su Guo, Jin Shouyun, Yue Zhouwang, Hou Boyan, and Ma Xingyuan stood up and said in unison.
"Hmm! Sit down, everyone! The serious talk is over, let’s drink!"
Li Yunjing gestured for them to sit down.
"Good! Young Master Li, we toast to you!"
Su Guo, Jin Shouyun, Yue Zhouwang, Hou Boyan, and Ma Xingyuan, grateful for Li Yunjing’s cultivation, each filled their glasses and toasted Li Yunjing.
"Hmm! As long as we are united, our days will only get better! Keep working hard..."
Li Yunjing had a drink with everyone and boosted their morale.
After discussing serious matters, the six conversed about other things, and Li Yunjing also introduced them to the "Star Moon Trading Company".
He inford them that "Star Moon Trading Company" in "Red Sun Market" was his shop, intending to open more stores in the future.
Su Guo, Jin Shouyun, Yue Zhouwang, Hou Boyan, and Ma Xingyuan, being smart, imdiately understood Li Yunjing’s intentions and pledged their full support to expand "Star Moon Trading Company".
Assured by their promise, Li Yunjing nodded contentedly.
Despite being Inner Sect disciples and Outer Sect disciples, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect’s" reputation was well-respected in the Great Ming Dynasty.
If "Star Moon Trading Company" frequently had disciples of "Shenxiao Dao Sect" watching over, no one would dare to target it.
Even shops run by Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivators couldn’t openly bully "Star Moon Trading Company".
Li Yunjing didn’t intend to invest too much effort into "Star Moon Trading Company", treating it as a tool for earning resources, similar to so big figures in the sect.
No one wanted to waste precious ti purely on business.
Li Yunjing also couldn’t continually monitor "Star Moon Trading Company", especially as more branches opened.
