Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 167 You dare to cause trouble?
Don't be fooled by the fact that they are all low-grade spiritual weapons; their power and performance are significantly weaker!

In order to upgrade Li Yunjing's three treasures to the peak of low-grade spiritual artifacts, the cost increased significantly, and Wei Fan earned much less.

If it weren't for the need to ensure Yang Wenzheng's career development wasn't affected, Wei Fan would have temporarily decided to compensate Li Yunjing a little.

Aside from saving face for his own disciple, try replacing him with someone else!
I'll see how this old Taoist priest squeezes you dry!
"Thank you, teacher! This way, if something happens in the future, I can still handle it!"

Yang Wenzheng was overjoyed and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The teacher is meticulous in his work, so it's not a loss for Li Yunjing to contribute a few more spirit stones!
Otherwise, he would really have no face to participate in Yu Yunyi's circle.

Who would trust an ally who specializes in betraying their own people?

We are all respectable people, not rogue cultivators who just hit and run.

This kind of reputation must never be spread.

At this moment, Li Yunjing descended from "Tiangong Peak," unaware that the master and disciple were discussing his affairs.

"Sigh! Now I'm completely broke!"

Li Yunjing sighed, his brows furrowed slightly, and walked away lost in thought.

Li Yunjing must feel terrible that such a large fortune has been completely spent.

However, if he were to choose again, the result would still be the same.

Holding onto resources is a waste, while enhancing one's strength is the best choice.

Even if Li Yunjing wanted to accumulate this much wealth again, he would need to spend even more time and energy.

Li Yunjing silently calculated in his mind that he didn't have many resources left.

It's time to find a way to replenish our resources.

Li Yunjing first went to Liuyun Valley Market and arrived at Yueming Tower, where he found his old friend Wang Weizhi.

Li Yunjing scanned the lobby of the first floor of "Yueminglou" and saw that there were quite a few customers inside.

"Brother Li, you've arrived!"

Wang Weizhi was very happy to see Li Yunjing again.

Last time, Li Yunjing used Yu Yunyi's connections to transfer him from the western mountainous area to the southern mountainous area.

Wang Weizhi's treatment was increased by 30%, which was only possible with Li Yunjing's help.

He has always been grateful for this.

However, after Li Yunjing became successful, he almost never came to this market town.

The two of them basically had no chance to meet anymore.

"Haha! Brother Wang, how have you been lately?"

Li Yunjing laughed loudly.

Seeing Wang Weizhi, Li Yunjing was equally happy!
This person risked their own safety to pull me out of danger when I was in extreme peril; I must remember this kindness!

"Thanks to Brother Li and with Miss Li taking care of me, my life is pretty good!"

Wang Weizhi smiled.

"That's good! Brother Wang, put in the effort, and I'll ask Miss for help to transfer you to the northern mountainous area!"

Li Yunjing was very pleased to see that his friend was doing well.

"Hehe! Thanks a lot! My future depends on you!"

Wang Weizhi then asked, "Brother Li, is there anything I can do for you today?"

"Um! Something's come up! I've run out of Qi-replenishing pills, so I've come to buy a hundred!"

Li Yunjing smiled.

"Alright! Brother Li, please wait a moment! I'll be right back!"

Wang Wei was overjoyed. He knew perfectly well that Li Yunjing had come all this way to support him!

Where can't you buy "Qi-Boosting Pill," the most commonly used elixir?
Why bother coming all the way here?

Before long, Wang Weizhi came over and handed ten jade bottles to Li Yunjing.

"How many contribution points?"

Li Yunjing asked.

"800 contribution points!"

Wang Weizhi replied that since Li Yunjing did not purchase any magical artifacts this time, it was impossible to offer a significant discount.

Another point is that, as a newcomer, Wang Weizhi doesn't have much power here, so naturally he wouldn't dare to give customers arbitrary discounts.

This is the biggest discount Wang Weizhi can offer within his authority.

"900! 800 is too cheap!"

Li Yunjing immediately countered the offer.

"Brother Li, how can you haggle over the price of something and end up charging higher and higher?"

Wang Wei chuckled softly, but his heart was filled with deep emotion!

This friend was worth it!
"Don't mention it! You know I've been doing pretty well lately! Friends help each other out. If I've contributed something, I'll naturally take care of you; if I haven't, then you'll be the one taking care of me!"

Li Yunjing smiled nonchalantly and handed his identity token to Wang Weizhi.

"Thank you very much, Brother Li!"

Wang Weizhi said nothing more, connected the two identity tokens, and transferred 900 contribution points from Li Yunjing.

After finishing his business, Li Yunjing chatted with Wang Weizhi for a few more minutes. When he saw that a guest was looking for him, he took his leave.

When Li Yunjing returned to Qiwu Manor and cultivated for a while, pondering the gains and losses, his "Ten Thousand Mile Communication Talisman" vibrated.

When Li Yunjing opened the message, it was from Fu Chao. It turned out that the batch of resources had been prepared.

"I'm coming to find you right now!"

This delighted Li Yunjing, who immediately replied to Fu Chao.

Li Yunjing arrived at "Kuangjifeng" with ease and went to Fu Chao's house.

"As per your request, I specifically instructed my subordinates to provide you with 4 low-grade spirit stones worth of best-selling goods."

Without wasting any words, Fu Chao directly handed a "treasure bag" to Li Yunjing.

"Thank you so much! I'll be going now!"

Li Yunjing happily accepted the "treasure bag" and prepared to take his leave.

"What's the rush?"

Fu Chao was taken aback, wondering what Li Yunjing was so anxious about.

"Hehe! They're waiting for the rice to cook! I'm running out of time! I'll head out first, we'll get together again later!"

Li Yunjing naturally wouldn't tell the truth. He gave a few perfunctory replies, took the resources, and went down the mountain.

Reaching the halfway point of the mountain, Li Yunjing used the teleportation array of "Mad Peak" to arrive at "Red Sun Market" once again.

Seeing the still bustling scene on the street, Li Yunjing was in a great mood.

"Look what Xing'er and Yue'er, those two little girls, are doing!"

Li Yunjing walked briskly towards his "Star Moon Trading Company".

"Hehe! Boss lady, how about you give me a discount?"

As soon as Li Yunjing stepped into "Star Moon Trading Company", he heard a customer making a teasing sound.

"Yes! Give us a discount! Our young master will then patronize your business more!"

"With our young master taking care of you, you two little wenches don't have to work so hard, running this shabby little shop day and night."

"Yes! You keep saying you have men, where are they?"

"We haven't seen anyone for a month. Are you kidding our young master?"

"You two little beauties might as well come with our young master!"

Beside the pretty boy were four lackeys, who kept making suggestive remarks.

The handsome young master in brocade robes stared intently at Xing'er and Yue'er, like a wolf eyeing its prey.

"You are rude!"

Hearing these people's foul language, Xing'er and Yue'er's beautiful faces turned red with anger. They wanted to fight back, but they were no match for them. For a moment, the two girls were at a loss and did not know what to do.

Recently, Liu Ruyan was transferred back to headquarters and was no longer in "Chiri Market," leaving the two women without a powerful backer. As for Fang Yuxuan and the others, following the orders of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," they organized a group of people and entered "Daheishan" to exterminate the demonic beasts.

This is a routine task every year.

Fang Yuxuan and his group have been in the mountains for a month now.

Unexpectedly, in the past month, these hooligans with considerable backgrounds have appeared in the market, which has made the two women both angry and frustrated, yet they have no way to deal with it.

These people come to cause trouble every few days, but they only try to gain some verbal advantage without actually doing anything.

This made Xing'er and Yue'er hesitate, unsure whether they should tell Brother Li.

But the thought that Brother Li must be very busy since he returned to the mountain without any news came from him.

Xing'er and Yue'er suppressed their anger for the time being, thinking that Fang Yuxuan and the others would be back soon, so they might as well wait for them to handle the matter.

Li Yunjing happened to witness this scene.

"Hmph! How rude!"

Li Yunjing's face was ugly. He snorted coldly and strode over.

"Brother Li!"

Suddenly, upon seeing the person they had been longing for, Xing'er and Yue'er's eyes lit up, and like two butterflies, they rushed towards Li Yunjing and threw themselves into his arms.

"Om..."

The group of hooligans were specifically targeted by Li Yunjing's voice.

The group of five felt as if a bronze bell had suddenly struck their ears, like a muffled thunderclap. Their heads were shaken by the shock, and they felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Clap clap clap..."

Li Yunjing approached the group and slapped them five times in a row across the face.

"puff……"

Li Yunjing slapped each of them hard, showing no mercy. The five slaps were so severe that the men spun around like tops before finally stopping.

At this moment, half of each of the five men's faces was swollen like a steamed bun. Before they could even see who it was, they couldn't help but open their mouths and spit out a mouthful of blood due to the excruciating pain.

"boss!"

Upon seeing this, the shop assistants shouted from afar and rushed over, all of them utterly astonished.

The boss hadn't been back for over three months, and when he finally returned, he beat up five immortal masters.

"You guys were bullied, why didn't you send me a message?"

Li Yunjing looked at Xing'er and Yue'er with some anger, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.

I never imagined that my woman would be bullied after only three months of being away!

Where did Liu Ruyan and Fang Yuxuan go?

What happened to the promises you made to me back then?

Do you all just treat what they say like it's nothing?

“We thought that Brother Li would be very busy after returning to the mountain, and it would not be easy for him to come out of the mountain, so we didn’t say anything.”

Xing'er was startled when she saw Li Yunjing's angry expression and whispered.

"Fang Yuxuan went to 'Daheishan' and will be back soon. We're waiting for him to come back so we can ask him for help."

Yue'er explained.

"Did you go to 'Daheishan'?"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow and asked again, "Where is Liu Ruyan?"

"Sister Liu has gone back!"

Xing'er said softly.

Li Yunjing's expression hardened. He naturally understood the meaning of going back. Was this a return to the forces behind "Yanyu Tower"?

This was not the time to inquire about these matters in detail. Li Yunjing looked at the five people who had been beaten and sneered, "You really don't know what's good for you! You still dare to cause trouble here!"

"Kid! You dare hit me?"

To everyone's surprise, the young master in the lead seemed somewhat unconvinced, pointing at Li Yunjing and roaring angrily.

"It was you who hit!"

With two crisp "snap" sounds, Li Yunjing's figure flashed, turning into several afterimages before the young master could react.

Li Yunjing had already reached the man, raised his arm, and delivered two more slaps, sending the man flying.

"Now, do you know whether I dare to hit you or not?"

Li Yunjing looked down at the other person and said coldly.

"You wait! This isn't over!"

After being slapped twice more, the man finally came to his senses. He stopped provoking him, got up, and walked in a different direction towards the door.

Seeing this, the four henchmen quickly followed, afraid that they would be beaten up by Li Yunjing again.

Seeing the five men flee in a sorry state, Li Yunjing thought for a moment and ultimately decided not to make any further moves.

This is his own business, and there are other customers in the store. If he is unreasonable and doesn't let things go, he might chase and beat the other party.

Once this story gets out, it will become more and more outrageous, with rumors circulating that the owner of "Xingyue Trading Company" is arrogant and domineering, and that he beats up customers.

With this reputation, who would dare to do business or buy goods from "Star Moon Trading Company"?
If Li Yunjing didn't have this business to rely on, he would have already been keeping watch on these people. As soon as they left "Chiri Market", he would have killed them without mercy and executed them on the spot!
Now, he could only suppress his anger and let the five people go for the time being.

"Alright! Let's continue! It was just a few hooligans causing trouble earlier!"

Li Yunjing looked around the store and said loudly.

The other customers, seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, muttered a few words and then turned their attention back to the merchandise.

"Will something happen?"

The man's words from before still made Xing'er and Yue'er somewhat worried.

"Don't worry! That kid isn't anything special!"

Li Yunjing waved his hand dismissively, as the kid's cultivation level was the same as Li Yunjing's, both at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

However, the boy's magical power was rather ordinary. With only the eighth level of Qi Refining cultivation, his combat strength was so weak that it was clear he didn't have any powerful inheritance.

As for those four lackeys, they were even worse, only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, just average for a rogue cultivator.

Such a person is at most a member of a small family or sect.

Given this person's demeanor and the fact that he was accompanied by several followers, it's more likely he's a member of a family.

Such a person is no match for the disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Li Yunjing completely ignored the man's threatening words.

"Right! Let's not talk about these unpleasant things!"

Li Yunjing looked around the shop and asked, "How's business these past few months?"

"Great! We have a lot of good stuff here, and many customers come to buy it. The stuff you gave us last time is almost sold out!"

When Yue'er mentioned business, her eyes lit up, and she seemed very happy.

"Yes! Fortunately, Sister Liu and Fang Yuxuan raised some supplies, which allowed us to cope for a while."

Xing'er also said with a smile.

"That's good! Let's go back to the backyard! This time, I've gathered a batch of supplies, enough for our shop to last for a while."

After listening to the two women's words, Li Yunjing nodded in satisfaction.

His dissatisfaction with Liu Ruyan and Fang Yuxuan also lessened somewhat.

He took the two women and left the front building, returning to the courtyard house at the back.

After closing the door, Li Yunjing handed a "treasure bag" to the two women.

"How much supplies?"

The moon's bright eyes shone as she asked curiously.

"We have supplies worth 40,000 low-grade spirit stones, except for the Five Elements Talismans."

Li Yunjing said with a smile.

"That's enough! That's enough! It'll last us a long time!"

Xing'er was overjoyed and hugged Li Yunjing tightly. Her skin was snow-white and her figure was tall. Her soft waist was like a snake. She leaned against Li Yunjing, making Li Yunjing feel as if he was hugging a small stove.

"Yes! That's right! Based on the purchase price, let's pay Brother Li 44000 low-grade spirit stones!"

Yue'er leaned against Li Yunjing's chest and whispered.

Like Xing'er, Yue'er had an exceptionally good figure, with long, straight legs and undulating curves, giving Li Yunjing double the pleasure.

"Really? You have so many spirit stones?"

Li Yunjing, making a strange gesture, asked curiously.

He really didn't expect that in less than four months, "Star Moon Trading Company" would already be profitable.

"Of course! I'll show you the ledgers!"

Yue'er said proudly.

"Forget it! I'll check later! I want to see if you've gained or lost weight first!"

Li Yunjing rejected the suggestion and, amidst the two women's gasps, picked them up and carried them towards the large bed...

The next day, the sun rose three poles.

Li Yunjing finally got out of bed feeling comfortable.

I wandered around the "Star Moon Trading Company" and found that everything was normal.

At noon, I accompanied the two women to the best restaurant in the "Red Sun Market" for a meal.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yunjing left some more tortoise meat for the two women.
