Chapter 403: Chapter 218 Purchasing a Flying Ship
"This is really boring!"
Seeing He Bao misunderstood, Li Yunjing shook his head slightly, then turned back to the female disciple and smiled, "Let’s go! Take me to see the flying ships! Don’t bother with such boring flies."
"Huff..."
Upon hearing this, He Bao glared angrily at Li Yunjing. Seeing that he ignored him, He Bao sneered, "Heh heh! Can’t afford it and still pretending! Do you have millions of Spirit Stones?"
"This junior sister, can we go now?"
Li Yunjing didn’t even look at He Bao and continued to inquire the female disciple beside him.
"Ah! Yes! Yes! Yes!"
At that moment, the female disciple finally came to her senses, extended her hand and said, "This way please! All flying ship transactions are handled on the third floor, Senior Brother, please follow me."
This female disciple no longer cared about He Bao’s Foundation Establishment Realm status. A commission from a "Cyan Cloud Ship" trumped any face value.
Seeing this Senior Brother exude such an imposing manner, unafraid of even a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, it was clear he was someone significant. This increased the female disciple’s confidence in Li Yunjing.
"Alright! Let’s go!"
Li Yunjing nodded, took the lead, and headed towards the stairs.
"Damn it! Is this kid really going to check out the flying ships?"
Watching Li Yunjing’s figure disappear at the stairs, He Bao murmured quietly.
However, this was the territory of the "Celestial Craft Hall". If He Bao dared to cause trouble here, "Celestial Craft Hall" wouldn’t need the "Law Enforcement Hall" to intervene; they would take him down themselves.
The overbearing nature of the "Celestial Craft Hall" was well known throughout the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!
Who would dare cause disturbance at the "Celestial Commerce Shop"?
It was one of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect’s" moneybags.
The development of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" couldn’t be separated from the "Celestial Craft Hall".
Even the Sect Leader Venerable of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" held great respect for the Hall Master of the "Celestial Craft Hall".
How could someone as insignificant as He Bao, a mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, act recklessly here?
Even the ancestor of the He Family would have to follow the rules of the "Celestial Commerce Shop".
Seeing that he couldn’t do anything to Li Yunjing, He Bao’s face turned ashen, and his fists clenched tightly, emitting a "creak, creak" sound.
"Young Master He! No way, right? Even for a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, it would take a hundred or two hundred years to accumulate enough wealth to buy a flying ship. How could he manage it?"
The lackey beside He Bao asked.
"Heh heh! I heard that this pretty face has quite some skills, seems like he’s hooked up with the young miss of the Yu Family! This guy must be flaunting the Spirit Stones of the Yu Family’s young miss outside!"
Another lackey chimed in with a lecherous expression.
"Damn it! Pretty boys always have it good!"
He Bao cursed, then added, "Recently, everyone, watch out, don’t get schemed by Fu Chao! If you want to live well next year, we must participate in this Outer Sect competition’s betting pool!"
"Understood! Young Master He, rest assured! We have already started preparing in advance."
The lackeys immediately nodded seriously, filled with determination.
They were swindled by Fu Chao last March and hadn’t earned extra money all year, living a tight life.
This March, they must make enough Spirit Stones through the Outer Sect competition!
...
As Li Yunjing went upstairs, he realized that another year had flown by.
The betting pool of the Outer Sect competition was like picking up Spirit Stones for free.
This year, Fu Chao led them to make a fortune.
They couldn’t miss out next year either.
Thinking of Fu Chao still in seclusion and the upcoming competition, Li Yunjing pondered that he might need to find someone else to replace Fu Chao and organize another scheme to gather some resources.
While lost in thought, he followed the female disciple to the third floor.
There were noticeably fewer guests on this floor, only seven or eight, and they were all Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
Clearly, from the third floor onwards, it catered to Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
"Huh? Xiaolingling, why are you up here?"
Seeing the female disciple appear on the third floor, an elder at the doorway, who was also in the Foundation Establishment Realm, asked with a smile.
"Elder Yu, this Senior Brother is here to purchase a flying ship, so I brought him up."
The female disciple introduced with a smile.
"Oh? A flying ship purchase?"
The elder surnamed Yu’s face showed a hint of joy as he scrutinized Li Yunjing a few times, then exclaimed, "Junior Brother, have you just advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm?"
"Senior Brother Yu has sharp eyes!"
Li Yunjing smiled and nodded, "I have just advanced, waiting for the True Disciple assessment, so I haven’t changed my status in the Sect yet."
"Ah? You are a Senior Uncle!"
The female disciple exclaimed in realization. No wonder he had the means to buy a flying ship; he was a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator!
It became clear now.
In this female disciple’s eyes, Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were wealthy and significant figures.
She wouldn’t realize until she advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm years later that not all Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were as wealthy as Li Yunjing!
"Hehe! Just recently advanced!"
Li Yunjing smiled and nodded at the female disciple.
"Alright! Junior Brother, please follow me!"
The elder surnamed Yu nodded solemnly, inviting Li Yunjing into the third floor’s reception room.
He then said to the female disciple, "Xiaolingling, you can go down now. I’ll handle things here. Your performance won’t be affected."
"Yes, Elder Yu!"
The female disciple joyfully went downstairs.
"Hehe! Junior Brother, how may I address you?"
As the elder surnamed Yu led Li Yunjing towards the reception room, he inquired.
"I am from ’Seven Stars Peak’, Li Yunjing."
Li Yunjing stated his name.
