Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 119 A Huge Secret (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

At this moment, it concerns my own path to cultivation. We are all cultivators at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Realm. Why should I give way to you?
Who is afraid of whom!
"Hehe...This is interesting."

Seeing the two fighting over the eighth-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, Li Yunjing smiled. He could at least see a good show, so the trip wasn't a complete waste!
And these two are able to produce so many spirit stones, it seems I can't underestimate the people of the world!
Such a status definitely surpasses that of an inner disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Li Yunjing estimated that very few of the sycophants around Lü Ruoxi could afford to produce so many spirit stones. Without selling off their assets, they probably wouldn't be qualified to auction off this "Foundation Building Pill".

"you……"

The man in the straw hat was filled with despair. Looking around, he felt a chill run through his heart.

He really had no resources left; he had sold all his top-grade magical artifacts!

It can be said that apart from 20000 spirit stones, he is the poorest cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm, even worse than some minor figures in the third level of the Qi Refining Realm!

Just as the man in the straw hat was in despair, he suddenly looked at Li Yunjing, and then his eyes lit up, as if he thought that this disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was quite wealthy and could help him.

Then, the man in the bamboo hat quickly transmitted his voice: "Fellow Daoist, you helped me obtain the 'Foundation Establishment Pill,' and I have a great secret to repay you!"

"Hmm? Tell me about it first."

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, not expecting this person to come looking for him.

He responded calmly.

As for the man in the straw hat trying to swindle his spirit stones without any investment?
Don't even think about it, what secret could possibly be worth more than 5000 spirit stones!

"Regarding the 'Heavenly Thunder Stone'! I know a place with many 'Heavenly Thunder Stones'! The one I sold to you came from there! But that place is extremely dangerous, so I could only take out this one from the outermost layer!"

The man in the straw hat immediately revealed a shocking secret: "Just think about it, there are still many 'Thunderstones' there, what a treasure trove that is!"

"I originally planned to go there after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and greatly increasing my cultivation! Now, if I can't acquire this pill, it will be very difficult for me to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in this lifetime, which is why I'm offering this secret to you in a trade!"

"call……"

After hearing what the man in the straw hat said, Li Yunjing couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

His expression was extremely serious. If what the man in the straw hat said was true, then it was truly a big secret!
Such a secret is absolutely priceless!
How many 'Thunderstones' are left there?

Li Yunjing asked a crucial question.

If it's only one or two pieces, then it's not worth making the trip.

"So many! It's a valley there, frequently struck by lightning! And there's a chaotic force field there that throws anyone who enters into a state of mental chaos! That's why I didn't dare go deep inside, and that's why I found this 'Thunderstone' on the outermost edge! Even so, I almost didn't make it back!"

The man in the straw hat was very anxious and quickly transmitted his voice to Li Yunjing.

"Okay! I'll help you out!"

"If you lie to me, you're completely finished! Your family, your clan, are all finished!"

"I am a disciple of the 'Shenxiao Dao Sect'. You should understand what the consequences will be if you offend the 'Shenxiao Dao Sect'!"

Since it involved a large number of "Heavenly Thunder Stones", Li Yunjing made a quick decision and sent a telepathic message!

"Thank you, fellow Daoist! Rest assured, what I said is absolutely true. After the transaction is completed, I will explain my background and the location of the valley to you!"

Upon hearing that Li Yunjing was going to help him, the man in the straw hat was overjoyed. He spoke urgently, assuring everyone that what he said was true, fearing that Li Yunjing might suddenly change his mind at this crucial moment.

"Go ahead and film it! I'll support you!"

Li Yunjing responded.

With Li Yunjing's assurance, the man in the bamboo hat felt emboldened and immediately shouted to the woman in red, "My lady, I am willing to offer 26000 spirit stones!"

"hiss……"

Everyone present was stunned into silence.

No one expected that the guy who had been begging and pleading before, unable to raise any spirit stones, would suddenly have the confidence to offer such a high price.
The man standing on the seat, displeased, coldly asked, "You should know that at the 'Treasure Pavilion' trade fair, reckless bidding is not allowed. If you don't have 26000 spirit stones, have you thought about what will happen to you?"

After the man finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to the middle-aged man in the brocade robe of "Jubaolou".

"Ahem! The rules of Jubao Tower are the rules. Fellow Daoist, think carefully. You must not speak carelessly. If your words are problematic, you will face a huge fine!"

The middle-aged man in the brocade robe looked at the man in the bamboo hat on the auction stage, his voice low.

The meaning of the threat is self-evident!

If you can't produce spirit stones, you're challenging the "Treasure Pavilion"!

They will surely be severely punished by "Jubaolou"!

"I've made up my mind! I have 26000 spirit stones! As long as this fairy agrees to the trade, I can deliver them immediately!"

The man in the straw hat, steeling himself, spoke loudly.

After he finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at Li Yunjing. Seeing that Li Yunjing nodded slightly to him, he finally put down his worries and regained his confidence.

In the eyes of the man in the straw hat, this disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was wealthy and powerful, and as long as he was willing to help him, there would be absolutely no problem!

"Hehe! Good! 26000 is a good price! I'll sell you this 'Foundation Building Pill'!"

The woman in red seemed very satisfied with the price offered by the man in the straw hat.

"Alright! The two of you can make the trade now!"

The middle-aged man in brocade robes at "Jubaolou" nodded, agreeing to the price, and signaled for the two to complete the transaction on the spot.

According to the rules, the "Treasure Pavilion" can take 260 spirit stones from the 26000 low-grade spirit stones traded.

In less than a quarter of an hour, I was able to earn 260 low-grade spirit stones. This is indeed a highly profitable business.

This is why chambers of commerce like "Jubaolou" are happy to hold small-scale trade fairs.

The "Treasure Pavilion" of the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" is not of a high level. In the territory of some large sects, the "Treasure Pavilion" branch will even hold auctions regularly.

Auctions are of a higher standard, attract more participants, and naturally generate greater profits.

In short, the massive commercial organization "Jubaolou" was extremely famous throughout the Ming Dynasty, even more so than the "Shenxiao Daozong." "Alright! Please wait a moment!"

The man in the straw hat responded and quickly walked down the steps toward the corner where Li Yunjing was.

Following the figure of the man in the straw hat toward Li Yunjing, the eyes of the others followed him all the way.

At this moment, the others suddenly realized that they had found someone to help them. No wonder this person was able to raise 26000 low-grade spirit stones!

Many of the cultivators present were knowledgeable and, upon seeing Li Yunjing's attire, immediately understood that he was an outer disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

Such a identity sent a chill down everyone's spine, filling them with awe and reverence.

"Fellow……"

The man in the straw hat approached Li Yunjing, bent down slightly, and asked.

At this moment, he was extremely respectful, as if a junior were meeting an elder.

Li Yunjing is his only hope!
It is the source of his hope for the continuation of his spiritual path!
If his face hadn't been hidden by his straw hat, everyone would have seen his humble and obsequious expression.

"Hmm! Wait a minute!"

Li Yunjing waved his hand, indicating that the man in the bamboo hat didn't need to say anything.

Under everyone's gaze, Li Yunjing took out two storage bags and kept rummaging through the items: talismans, medicine bottles, monster corpses, magic tools... and even spirit stones.

Everyone stared in disbelief; there were so many wonderful things inside!
After Li Yunjing finished rummaging around, he tossed a storage bag to the man in the straw hat.

"Take it! Don't forget what you said."

As the man in the straw hat took the storage bag, Li Yunjing's voice rang in his ear.

"Fellow Taoist, don't worry!"

The man in the straw hat was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly in assurance.

Seeing the two men's actions, the others understood that the man in the bamboo hat had used some kind of benefit to persuade the disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" to stand up for him and gather the spirit stones.

What kind of benefits are worth 6000 spirit stones?

Everyone was incredibly curious, but seeing that neither of the two people involved seemed inclined to speak, they wisely suppressed their curiosity.

With enough spirit stones, the man in the bamboo hat approached the woman in red. The two of them used their storage bags to carry their spirit stones and pills for the transaction. After verifying the authenticity with their divine sense, they quickly completed the transaction.

The recipient of the spirit stones also paid 260 low-grade spirit stones to the middle-aged man in brocade robes at the "Treasure Pavilion" as a referral fee for the transaction.

After the transaction was completed, the burly man in the brocade robe, having received his reward, smiled slightly and asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you have any further requests in the transaction?"

"Heh! Now I'm penniless, I have nothing left, so I have no more demands for a deal."

The man in the straw hat gave a wry smile, waved his hand, and left the stage.

Instead of returning to his previous seat, he walked straight to Li Yunjing and sat down next to him.

The man in the straw hat wasn't stupid either. He currently possessed an eighth-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, and having sold off all his treasures, his strength was at a low point.

With his combat power at its lowest point, coupled with the deadly "Foundation Building Pill," the man in the straw hat was practically a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

It is estimated that at this moment, more than half of the people present had murderous intent towards him.

If you don't find a powerful backer now, when will you?
By getting close to Li Yunjing, he could reassure the disciples of the Shenxiao Dao Sect and make them think he was sincere!

This is a win-win situation!

As expected, Li Yunjing was very satisfied with the man in the straw hat's actions.

This is a smart person!

As for the ill intentions of others?

Li Yunjing smiled coldly. As long as it wasn't a Foundation Establishment cultivator who attacked him, anyone who came looking for trouble was courting death!

Even at such a small trade fair, his status still allowed him to maintain his authority!
The woman in red who made the transaction turned to look at Li Yunjing with a curious expression.

Unexpectedly, I encountered people from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" here!
Sensing the woman's gaze, Li Yunjing looked at her, smiled slightly, and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Ok!"

The woman in red nodded in response to Li Yunjing, then turned her head away and stopped looking at him.

The woman in red thought to herself, "This person's spiritual sense is so sharp. In an instant, he sensed that I was looking at him. The disciples of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' are indeed formidable!"

This transaction immediately stirred up the atmosphere at the scene.

Soon another tall, thin monk came up to the stage to prepare his items for trading.

The cultivator took out a storage bag, and with a burst of magic power, a ten-foot-long demon beast corpse fell to the ground with a loud thud.

All eyes were focused on the leopard-like monster.

"Thunder Leopard, a high-level first-tier demonic beast. Its entire body is undamaged; its flesh, bones, internal organs, teeth, and claws are all valuable. I want to exchange them for a top-grade defensive magic weapon!"

The tall, thin man surveyed the room, and his deep voice rang out.

"what?"

"Are you crazy? It's just a Thunder Leopard! How can it be traded for a top-grade defensive magic weapon?"

"Exactly! A top-grade defensive magic weapon is worth at least 800 spirit stones, and most are worth over 1000 spirit stones. Who would trade this piece of junk for it?"

"Hahaha! We've run into a lunatic!"

"Where the hell did this idiot come from? Does he think we're suckers?"
