Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 108 The True Inheritance of Ruoxi
For many years, they fought on the front lines for the sake of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," suffering countless deaths and injuries.

This is what earned the Yu family their prominent status.

Like the Yu family, the Fu family also paid a huge price for this.

Almost every few years, news of Foundation Establishment Realm experts dying on the front lines would be reported.

The fierce battle on the front lines was so intense that even the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was heartbroken!

In order to maintain the front line, several legions of the "Guardian Army" took turns to go to the front line to fight.

Therefore, Nascent Soul elders in sects must be stationed at the front lines for extended periods.

No one can say for sure how this battle started or what caused it.

In short, the Xuanmen, Momen, Yaozu, Fomen, Guizong, and Wuzu fought each other for more than two hundred years in a muddled way.

There was no sign of the fighting stopping at the front lines, and it was unclear how long this battle would last.

The deepest secrets are probably only known to the Nascent Soul Ancestors.

"I wonder when we'll be able to go to the front lines! I'm already impatient to stay in the sect."

Fu Chao also chimed in.

"Our cultivation level is still too weak; we are simply not qualified to participate in the affairs of the front lines."

Yu Yunyi shook her head slightly and said, "The New Year is over now. It's that time of year again to collect taxes. I wonder if we'll be able to get a good job."

"Yes! This is a top-notch job!"

Upon hearing this, several inner disciples' eyes lit up, and they all echoed his sentiments.

"tax?"

Li Yunjing was taken aback. Only then did he realize how little he knew, and how many things he simply didn't understand.

This calmed Li Yunjing down completely, allowing him to listen attentively to the conversation of his fellow disciples, hoping to learn something from it.

"It's a tax! In the Ming Dynasty, there are many powerful families and sects. These forces are divided into large, medium, and small forces. All of them must submit to my Shenxiao Dao Sect."

Seeing that Li Yunjing didn't understand, Lü Ruoxi explained to him, "Every February, the sect sends people down to check the accounts."

Fu Chao chuckled and continued, "This is a top-notch job! The people we select to carry out this mission are like imperial envoys in the secular world, holding the power of life and death over the other sect!"

"Because there are no sects or families involved; it's completely clean!"

Yu Zongzhe smiled and continued, "So the people who go down to investigate the accounts get a lot of benefits. These small sects and families will treat the people in charge of the investigation as the most important VIPs, and they will also give us some benefits in private."

"Yes! That's the situation!"

The other inner disciples also nodded in agreement.

Xu Xun shook his head slightly, sighed, and said, "Thirty percent of the sect's wealth has been lost invisibly!"

"Ha ha……"

After hearing Xu Xun's words, the others' expressions turned grim.

Because some of them come from families, and some are connected with smaller families or factions below them, they are all beneficiaries.

Only Xu Xun, that guy, clearly distinguishes between public and private matters and investigates these things.

I remember Xu Xun getting into trouble back then by checking accounts, which ultimately led to the confiscation and extermination of a small family.

The crowd felt somewhat uncomfortable.

This Senior Brother Xu is ruthless!
Xu Xun naturally knew what his fellow disciples were thinking, but he simply shook his head slightly and didn't elaborate.

No matter how arrogant or just and honest Xu Xun was, he couldn't afford to offend so many powerful figures present.

The Fu family, the Yu family...

None of them are easy to deal with!
The two families have secretly withheld a significant amount of taxes that should have been paid.

Of course, these are all well-known unspoken rules.

Let alone him, even the head of the "Enforcement Hall" wouldn't be so unwise as to go and investigate the Fu and Yu families.

Moreover, these people are also Xu Xun's allies, forming a faction within the sect.

Even if Xu Xun were crazy, he wouldn't dare to undermine these people's power.

However, if he were to investigate the accounts, any small, powerless organization would be in trouble. He would certainly enforce the law impartially and without mercy.

"Haha! We all know Brother Xu's character! To be honest, I admire Brother Xu the most!"

Yu Zongzhe smiled.

"Excellent! We all admire Senior Brother Xu's skills!"

Fu Chao echoed this sentiment.

Both families need Xu Xun as a "friend," and they should give him face when necessary.

This statement doesn't make it seem like the Yu and Fu families are afraid of Xu Xun; on the contrary, it makes others even more respectful of the two families.

Because Xu Xun can't touch the two major families!

Even the "Enforcement Hall" couldn't touch the two major families.

Yu Zongzhe and Fu Chao had enough confidence to dare to say such things.

They displayed the magnanimity of a large family; even knowing that some people were dissatisfied with them, they simply laughed it off and did not distance themselves from Xu Xun because of it.

They were not afraid of Xu Xun approaching them, as he was there to deal with the two major families.

This is the foundation of a top-tier elite family.

In the Ming Empire, apart from the collective will of the "Shenxiao Daozong", no force could shake the Yu and Fu families!
"Dear senior brothers and sisters, if any of you have been assigned this mission, could you spare me to go out and broaden my horizons? I'd like to go along and see other families and sects; it won't interfere with your affairs."

Li Yunjing suddenly spoke. His words startled everyone present, but they all nodded and showed friendly expressions.

Several people even stated that if given the chance, they would choose to recruit Li Yunjing.

"Great!"

Li Yunjing was overjoyed; the teams that came down from the mountain to check the accounts numbered well over a hundred.

The geniuses gathered here by Yu Yunyi may very well get a spot.

If you go out on your own, you can clean up any loose items you have.

You see, he has too many things on him, much of which are useless and cannot be used within the sect...

Because of that damn discount policy, 20% off!

Buying things at a 20% discount means selling things at a 20% discount as well!

If he goes out and finds a few markets to sell his goods, he can make a 100% profit!
Li Yunjing has so many things on him, that's a difference of thousands of spirit stones!
Let alone him, how many of us here don't feel sorry for him?

Who would dare sell to the internal market of the sect?
"Junior Brother Li, I should have a spot available here. I'll let you know when the time comes. This is my communication talisman."

To everyone's surprise, Lü Ruoxi spoke up.

This true disciple, without making a sound, managed to secure a spot to go down and inspect the accounts a month and a half in advance!
That's truly amazing!

Yu Yunyi and Fu Chao both turned their attention to this woman.

Of those present, only Xu Xun and Yu Zongzhe remained calm, seemingly showing no surprise whatsoever.

"Senior Sister Lü, what skill! I really envy you, sister. You landed such a great job without making a sound. I wonder which sect it is?"

Yu Yunyi looked at Lü Ruoxi with a grin, her eyes sparkling with a strange light.

"It's nothing! My teacher just helped me apply for a spot."

Lu Ruoxi smoothed her hair and gently explained, "The place we are going to is a medium-sized sect called 'Wanjian Sect,' which is 20,000 li away from our 'Shenxiao Dao Sect,' located on the southwestern border of the Ming Dynasty."

All the inner disciples looked at Lü Ruoxi with envy.

Great!

It’s really awesome!
The sect's plan hasn't even been finalized yet, but they've already secured a spot, and it's from a medium-sized sect!

What kind of ability is this?
None of the true disciples are easy to deal with!

In the Ming Dynasty, the standard for a medium-sized sect was that it had at least three Foundation Establishment cultivators and no fewer than five hundred disciples.

The strength of the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" is not small!

Lü Ruoxi's ability to audit the accounts of such a sect clearly indicates that this trip is quite lucrative!
"Thank you for your help, senior sister! This is my communication frequency."

Li Yunjing stood up and exchanged contact information with Lü Ruoxi.

The woman was right in front of me, smiling sweetly, her eyes like pools of water, and her faint fragrance was captivating.

Lü Ruoxi is a woman to be admired, like a blooming peach blossom, stunningly beautiful.

Especially her long, straight legs, which unconsciously attracted Li Yunjing's attention.

Lu Ruoxi's fragrance was very unique, warm and charming.

The delicate fragrance wafted into Li Yunjing's nose, almost making him want to grab the enchanting creature.

Lu Ruoxi's charm is a different kind of allure compared to Liu Ruyan's, but the essence is the same: both make men unable to resist.

Lu Ruoxi secretly transmitted her voice, saying, "Junior Brother Li, I will inform you when the time comes and arrange a job for you so that you can also get a share of the benefits."

Lü Ruoxi's meaning was too obvious.

This is an attempt to win him over!
Assigning an identity gives you the opportunity to check accounts.

When it comes to accounts, how could the people of the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" not offer him tribute?
This touched Li Yunjing's heart, and he said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister."

It's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal. As for this woman's purpose, Li Yunjing had no interest in knowing. Lü Ruoxi was not Yu Yunyi, and there was no deep friendship between them.

If this woman has ill intentions, I will not let her manipulate me; at worst, I will simply break up with her.

Having obtained the communication method, Li Yunjing leisurely walked back to his seat, his mind preoccupied with his own thoughts.

Just then, Yu Yunyi calmly transmitted her voice and said, "Let's see first. If I manage to secure a spot here, you can come with me."

Clearly, Yu Yunyi seems to know what her best friend is thinking, and she's planning to poach her boyfriend.

This made Yu Yunyi a little angry.

That bitch Lü Ruoxi actually poached people right in front of me!

You have to understand that she paid a huge price to win over Li Yunjing and helped him many times. She can't let Lü Ruoxi's seductive tricks lure away this vigorous young man like Li Yunjing.

"Ha ha……"

Li Yunjing was secretly pleased and immediately replied, "Miss, don't worry! My heart is only for you. I will always remember your kindness. If you say the word, I will turn around and run back from Senior Sister Lü!"

He really hadn't expected that Lü Ruoxi's provocation would make Yu Yunyi so restless.

It seems that she has great charm and capital, and is being courted by many people, which is a great thing for her!
If it weren't for Lü Ruoxi's divine assistance, Yu Yunyi would have just exchanged a few polite words with him on the surface, and would not have said such things in a moment of desperation.

Isn't this a clear message to myself that Yu Yunyi values ​​me highly?
"Humph!"

A cold snort reached Li Yunjing's ears. He looked over and saw Yu Yunyi glaring at him fiercely with her bright eyes.

This made Li Yunjing smile awkwardly and touch his nose.

Seeing Li Yunjing's reaction, Yu Yunyi didn't say anything more and turned back to continue entertaining the guests.
