Chapter 411: Chapter 222 Unable to do it, but still doing it (Seeking monthly pass, recommendation votes)
Cong Rujin naturally wouldn’t foolishly threaten Li Yunjing, saying, "I know your secret, hurry up and give me some hush money, or else I’ll reveal the secret of how you obtained the ’Celestial Thunder Stone’.
If he really did that, there’s no need to think much, Li Yunjing would definitely find someone to take him out!
Not only would he not gain any benefits from a Spirit Stone, but his life would also be forfeit.
Thus, Cong Rujin lowered his own position, hoping to connect with Li Yunjing.
Following an Inner Sect Disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".
But his thoughts were too optimistic, and he never received any response from Li Yunjing.
This left him anxious day after day.
Cong Rujin thought to himself, if there was still no response after waiting three to five days, he would need to find another way. Or perhaps he might agree to Myriad Swords Sect’s offer to become a Guest Minister?
And suddenly, his second-hand "Myriad Li Communication Talisman" that he bought at a low price began to shake. When he picked it up and looked, surprisingly, it was a reply from Li Yunjing.
Upon seeing its contents, Cong Rujin couldn’t help but be greatly shocked.
Cong Rujin absolutely did not expect that Li Yunjing had already advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm!
This big shot of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" advanced in cultivation so quickly!
It was simply beyond Cong Rujin’s imagination!
Originally, he intended to rely on his status as a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator to be heavily used by Li Yunjing, thereby using the backing of an Inner Sect Disciple to mix better.
Little did he expect, what he thought would be assistance in a time of need turned into mere icing on the cake.
This left Cong Rujin somewhat disappointed.
After all, the stronger Li Yunjing’s power became, the lower Cong Rujin’s status would be.
"Yes! My lord, I will immediately set out for the ’Red Sun Market’ and serve the ’Star Moon Trading Company’ with utmost loyalty!"
Having made up his mind to rely on them, Cong Rujin straightforwardly pledged his allegiance.
"This person knows his place!"
Seeing the reply, Li Yunjing displayed a playful smile.
He did not expect that his influence outside was even better developed than within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".
Now, in the first store, there were already two Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators holding down the fort.
Within the "Red Sun Market", which business could match "Star Moon Trading Company" in grandeur?
Li Yunjing informed Xing’Er and Yue’Er about Cong Rujin’s decision to join, and after some intimate conversation with the two girls, he put away his "Communication Talisman".
Li Yunjing took a nap in the afternoon, then went to his study to draw some "Celestial Thunder Talismans" and "Five Elements Talismans".
This time, the difficulty of writing Tier Two Talismans was no small task. After spending an entire afternoon, Li Yunjing managed to make dozens of talismans with various effects.
Most of the Tier Two Talisman Papers broke apart.
Li Yunjing did some calculations and overall, he didn’t lose too many Spirit Stones.
It was still within the normal range, and his success rate was even higher than other Talisman Makers.
When the time was about right, Li Yunjing left "Qiuwu Manor" and walked out of the "Seven Star Palace" up halfway to "Seven Stars Peak".
"Brother Li! Congratulations on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!"
"Brother Li! Congratulations on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!"
From a distance, Jin Shouyun and Su Guo greeted Li Yunjing as they approached.
"Hmm! Today, I’ll take you both to ’Yaxiang Garden’ for a meal! In the meantime, there are two people who want to join our ranks, you two can mentor them in the future."
Li Yunjing waved, signaling them to follow him to the Teleportation Array.
Jin Shouyun and Su Guo, one on each side, trailed one step behind Li Yunjing as they walked towards the Teleportation Array.
After Li Yunjing paid the teleportation fees for the three of them, they passed through the Teleportation Array and arrived at the Western Mountain Area.
In other places, Inner Sect Disciples might not be significant.
But in the Western Mountain Area, wherever Li Yunjing, Jin Shouyun, and Su Guo passed, everyone looked at them with awe.
In the Western Mountain Area, where Servant Disciples were in the majority, Inner Sect Disciples were the greatest figures they could see.
Even the Outer Sect Disciples on duty in the Western Mountain Area turned pale when they saw Li Yunjing and the others.
No one knew whether the three significant figures had come together on official business.
However, it wasn’t long before the tense atmosphere relaxed when they saw the trio heading towards "Yaxiang Garden".
Upon associating with the various rumors about "Yaxiang Garden", it immediately became clear that one of its backers had come.
In recent years, due to several gatherings organized by Li Yunjing with True Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples at "Yaxiang Garden", its reputation had become increasingly prominent.
Even the Outer Sect Steward in charge of "Yaxiang Garden" looked at Ma Xingyuan with new regard, with a tone far more solicitous than authoritative.
With Li Yunjing’s backing, Ma Xingyuan had become quite the celebrity in the Western Mountain Area. With such a great tree for support, only the Stewards at the Foundation Establishment level held more prestige than him.
At this moment, Ma Xingyuan stood at the door with Wang Yun and the others, respectfully waiting for Li Yunjing and the others to arrive.
The two additional guests, Yue Zhouwang and Hou Boyan, were also waiting at the door, prepared to welcome them.
"Young Master Li! You’re here!"
Upon seeing Li Yunjing, Ma Xingyuan was the first to rush out to greet him.
"Goodness! Fatty, how much do you weigh now? You seem to have put on quite a bit in just a few months."
