Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 180 New Mission
"Ok!"

Li Yunjing felt a chill run down his spine; this time, he had truly offended the "Ten Thousand Laws Association" terribly.

However, he was pushed to the edge of a cliff. If he didn't fight back, he would be in a worse situation. It would be better to let the people of the "Ten Thousand Laws Society" suffer more!
Thinking of this, Li Yunjing spoke again: "My 'Azure Moon Dao Robe,' a top-grade low-level spiritual artifact, has been destroyed. Now, you people from the 'Myriad Laws Association' must provide resources and be responsible for paying for its repair."

"Kid! Don't push your luck!"

Zhuang Yao was extremely dissatisfied. She glared fiercely at Li Yunjing. If it weren't for the inappropriate location, she would have strangled Li Yunjing to death!

"Hehe! This isn't me being unreasonable! It's just that you destroyed my magical artifact! That's a fact! Besides, I wasted two 'Divine Firmament Thunderbolts,' I'm already being lenient by not asking for compensation!"

Li Yunjing sneered repeatedly.

Since it concerned his own interests, he had to argue his case. If he missed this opportunity, he would never have another chance to extort money from the "Wanfa Association".

The atmosphere in the office immediately became heavy again.

"Senior Sister Zhuang, we've already given the lion's share to this kid. Why not reward him a little more and settle this matter as soon as possible? Otherwise, there will be many more unexpected variables!"

Seeing this, Xu Wu could only glance helplessly at Li Yunjing before speaking to Zhuang Yao.

"Alright! Kid, here's a thousand mid-grade spirit stones!"

Zhuang Yao gritted her teeth, but in the end she gave in.

Their "Ten Thousand Dharma Assembly" is going to be tough, and they can't afford to delay any longer.

As the saying goes, every extra day brings forth many unexpected changes.

If it really attracts the intervention of important figures in the sect, or if the sect leader intervenes, then all will be lost!
At that point, it was impossible for either of them to reconcile!
The will of powerful figures will not cease to interfere just because the two sides have reached a reconciliation.

Having no other option, Zhuang Yao could only rummage through her storage ring for a long time.

He then tossed Li Yunjing a storage bag.

Then he said in a sinister tone, "Kid, this is enough for you to buy a new low-grade spiritual artifact robe!"

"One thousand mid-grade spirit stones is a bit too little!"

Li Yunjing took the storage bag, weighed it in his hand, opened it, and confirmed that it was correct before saying leisurely, "Consider it as me giving my martial uncle face! I hope that we can coexist peacefully and avoid any unpleasant incidents."

In any case, the two sides will not reconcile; this is merely a compromise between them.

Li Yunjing was not capable of confronting the "Ten Thousand Laws Society".

The "Wanfahui" were somewhat stunned by Li Yunjing's combination of punches.

They needed to stabilize the situation, which led to this reconciliation.

Once both sides are ready, we'll have to keep fighting!

Li Yunjing accepted the compensation and naturally didn't stand on ceremony.

"Boy! You're so arrogant!"

Zhuang Yao glanced at Li Yunjing with disdain, then stood up and said to Xu Wuyi, "Alright! The matter is settled, and I'm ready to leave the sect!"

"Senior Sister Zhuang, how are things going outside?"

Xu Wuyi stood respectfully by Zhuang Yao's side as she left.

"Where does anything go smoothly? It all comes down to a fight, a real battle."

Zhuang Yao shook her head slightly, seemingly unwilling to say anything more.

Watching the two leave one after the other, Li Yunjing pondered, "What have the people of the 'Ten Thousand Laws Society' been doing?"
After a while, Xu Wuyi saw Zhuang Yao off and then leisurely returned.

"Master Xu, what exactly is this 'Assembly of Ten Thousand Dharmas' for?"

Li Yunjing asked curiously.

"Sigh! Don't bother asking about this. Your understanding is too limited. You'll find out in time."

Xu Wuyi sighed softly and said, "Just remember that the 'Ten Thousand Laws Assembly' has made great contributions to my Shenxiao Dao Sect."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing felt a chill run down his spine.

Only then did he realize that some things were only the tip of the iceberg in front of him, and many things could not be simply distinguished as good or bad.

It's clear from Xu Wuyi's words that he still holds Zhuang Yao of the "Ten Thousand Laws Assembly" in high regard.

This left Li Yunjing somewhat confused about the nature of the "Wanfa Society".

What contributions did this "Ten Thousand Laws Assembly" make to the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" behind the scenes?
In light of this incident, the Yu family, the Fu family, Li Yunjing's own power, and even a portion of the "Enforcement Hall's" power are all involved.

After several months of struggle, everyone in the "Shenxiao Daozong" sect had come to deeply resent the "Wanfa Hui".

However, the "Assembly of Ten Thousand Laws" has continued to exist.

Those truly important figures still haven't made a final decision.

This made Li Yunjing realize that the important figures seemed to be somewhat unable to let go of the existence of the "Ten Thousand Laws Association".

They are giving the people of the "Wanfa Association" some time to save themselves.

Otherwise, with such a huge commotion, if the sect leader were to step in directly, the case could be closed in just a few days.

"Could it be that the existence of the Myriad Laws Assembly is truly of great benefit to the Divine Firmament Dao Sect?"

Li Yunjing fell into deep thought.

"Oh, right, bring me your identity token!"

Xu Wuyi changed the subject and gave instructions to Li Yunjing.

"what?"

Li Yunjing was taken aback, then took out his identity token and said with a grin, "What? I killed the Thirteen Flying Eagles, do I get a reward?"

"Reward my ass!"

Xu Wuyi cursed irritably before taking out his own identity token. He then tapped the two tokens together and tossed Li Yunjing's identity token to him.

Li Yunjing took it and saw that a new task had appeared.

[Seven Star Palace Quest: Procure Tier 1 Supplies]

[Task duration: Within three months]

[Task Executor: Li Yunjing]

[Task Rewards: 10000 Contribution Points, 5000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones]

[Purchase List: 1000 pieces of Tier 1 Jade Soul Iron, 3 inches or larger, 90% purity; 1000 jin of Tier 1 Earth Spirit Liquid, 90% purity or higher, aged over 100 years; 3000 pieces of Tier 1 Vajra Gold, 3 inches or larger, 90% purity...]

[Task Fee: 200 million low-grade spirit stones]

Li Yunjing reviewed it carefully and found that there were as many as eighteen kinds of materials involved, and each material had specific requirements and very strict specifications.

Each one has a lower limit, but what about better ones?

The Seven Star Palace naturally hoped that Li Yunjing could purchase better quality materials. After all, it's only 200 million low-grade spirit stones. If you can purchase better quality materials, then you're truly capable!

In any case, these minimum requirements, quantity and quality, must all be met.

As for insufficient procurement funds?

Even if Li Yunjing's mission failed.

Whether you make up for the deficit yourself or wait for the punishment from the "Seven Star Palace" is up to you.

"Deacon, is this price right?"

After a long while, Li Yunjing asked.

Although he knew that the deacon couldn't trick him, there were some materials that Li Yunjing really didn't know, so he still had to ask to find out.

"Don't worry! If you know how to do it, you can save at least ten or twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

Xu Wuyi looked at Li Yunjing with a helpless expression. He sighed and wondered if he was the kind of person who would betray his own disciples.
This kid doesn't even believe me?
"Hehe! That's good! What about the spirit stones?"

Seeing Xu Wuyi's dissatisfaction, Li Yunjing asked with a grin.

"Here you go! Don't lose these spirit stones! Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble!"

Xu Wuyi solemnly handed over five "treasure bags" to Li Yunjing.

"Yes, I know!"

Li Yunjing nodded and, in the empty office, opened the five "treasure pouches" one by one, piling all the spirit stones on the ground.

In an instant, a small mountain of spirit stones appeared in the entire room.

The rich spiritual energy and the precious light of the spirit stones were so dazzling that they practically blinded Li Yunjing.

This was the first time he had ever seen so many spirit stones piled together.

Li Yunjing was only stunned for a moment before his gaze cleared. He squatted down and counted the spirit stones while putting them into his storage ring.

With so many spirit stones, it would be incredibly troublesome to carry around a bunch of "treasure pouches" and storage bags.

Now that Li Yunjing has a "storage ring," he can easily gather all the spirit stones together.

"Alright! The number is correct!"

Fifteen minutes later, Li Yunjing finished everything, then stood up with a grin and said to Xu Wuyi, "Hmm! Not bad!"

Xu Wu nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

People who work in this line of work naturally need to be meticulous and responsible.

Li Yunjing counted the spirit stones in front of him, which was a good habit!

Instead of being angry, Xu Wuyi felt much more at ease with Li Yunjing.

This mission is a test for Li Yunjing from the "Seven Star Palace".

Let's see if Li Yunjing can resist such a large sum of money.

Only those who can withstand the test and have the ability will be entrusted with more important tasks by the "Seven Star Palace".

Xu Wuyi didn't tell Li Yunjing any of this, but Li Yunjing had already guessed it in his heart.

With such a promising future, he would never set his sights on a mere two million low-grade spirit stones.

Now, Li Yunjing's own wealth has surpassed this fortune. He must be crazy to even consider taking over the "Seven Star Palace".

"Alright! Steward Xu, if there's nothing else, I'm leaving!"

Li Yunjing asked.

"Okay! Go ahead! Be careful."

As for Li Yunjing, Xu Wuyi had nothing to advise him on.

This kid is cunning and treacherous, and incredibly powerful. The "Ten Thousand Laws Society" has already made peace, so no one will dare to lay a hand on him. Xu Wuyi is very relieved.

"Yes! Thank you for your concern, Steward Xu!"

Li Yunjing nodded and then went out.

After leaving, Li Yunjing thought for a moment and then contacted Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao to inform them of the results on his end.

They also agreed to meet at "Donghualou" tonight.

On the other side, Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao quickly replied, indicating that they understood.

Having finished this matter, Li Yunjing felt much relieved. He then sent a message to Yang Wenzheng, asking, "Is your master busy? My 'Azure Moon Daoist Robe' is badly damaged, and I would like to ask him to help repair it."

Soon, Yang Wenzheng sent a message back: "Brother Li, are you ready to go out? Your 'Five Dragon Wheels,' 'Mysterious Jade Inner Armor,' and 'Swift Wind Boots' are all finished. I've wanted to send them to you for a long time, but your condition is not suitable for me to visit you, so I haven't sent them over yet."

"Okay! Wait for me, I'll come and get it myself!"

Upon seeing Yang Wenzheng's message, Li Yunjing was overjoyed. With three more low-grade spiritual artifacts, his strength had greatly increased!

With all these treasures he possesses, even a cultivator at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm wouldn't be as wealthy as him. With these resources, he might just overwhelm his opponent.

With the trouble resolved, Li Yunjing encountered acquaintances along the way in the "Seven Star Palace" and greeted them happily.

Soon, many people in the "Seven Star Palace" knew that Li Yunjing was alright.

Half an hour later, Li Yunjing arrived at "Tiangong Peak" through the teleportation array.

As soon as he stepped out of the teleportation array, Li Yunjing saw Yang Wenzheng again.

Clearly, this Brother Yang took his arrival very seriously, coming to the teleportation array to wait for him immediately.

This time, Yang Wenzheng's demeanor was different from the last time they met.

"Brother Yang, you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage?"

"Congratulations, Brother Yang, on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm! You will have a lifespan of five hundred years!"

Li Yunjing was shocked, not expecting that Yang Wenzheng had already broken through his cultivation level.

"Hehe! If it were any other day, I would be more than happy to receive a compliment from you, Brother Li!"

"But you're so powerful that even Foundation Establishment cultivators have died at your hands, so there's nothing for me to be proud of in this advancement."

Hearing Li Yunjing's exclamation, Yang Wenzheng gave a wry smile.

Yang Wenzheng looked at Li Yunjing with a very complicated expression. He just couldn't understand how Li Yunjing could be so abnormal!
That's incredible!
This guy is terrifying!
"Hehe! Brother Yang, those I killed were all rogue cultivators!"

"How can a rogue cultivator be compared to a Foundation Establishment cultivator from our Divine Firmament Dao Sect?"

"Especially you, Brother Yang, you are the pride of our 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' and a master of weapon crafting. With your inheritance, how can a rogue Foundation Establishment cultivator compare to you?"

Li Yunjing shook his head dismissively.

Li Yunjing wasn't getting cocky. The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" were definitely not to be underestimated!
As the pride of the Yang family and a master craftsman of the "Tiangong Peak", how could Yang Wenzheng be short of good stuff?
He could bully rogue cultivators with his magical artifacts, but he was helpless when he encountered Yang Wenzheng.

When the two clash, they can only fight head-on to see whose supernatural powers are stronger, whose magical strength is more profound, and their combat experience.

Of course, the most important thing is to see who has better luck.

"Alright! Let's stop with the flattery and come inside!"

Yang Wenzheng chuckled, stretched out his arm, and gestured for Li Yunjing to follow him up the mountain.

"I've spoken to my master about your problem, and he'd be happy to help you fix it!"

The two walked side by side up the mountain, Yang Wenzheng said to Li Yunjing.

"Great! Thank you very much, Brother Yang!"

Li Yunjing was very grateful. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Our little team hasn't gotten together in a long time. You and Lü Ruoxi have both advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Let's take advantage of this happy occasion and get together. It's on me at 'Donghua Tower,' how about it?"

"You're treating? That's not very nice."

Yang Wenzheng's heart skipped a beat, but after thinking about it, he hesitated because there seemed to be a lot of people.

The prices at "Donghualou" are just too high!
Even he found it hard to bear.

"Why are you so polite!"

Li Yunjing waved his hand and laughed, "You don't know, I took a lot of risks this time and killed so many Tribulation Cultivators. I obtained quite a few resources. It would be good to share some so that everyone can have some fun!"

"Okay! You're welcome then!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing was serious, Yang Wenzheng thought about it and agreed.

"Okay! I'll inform Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, Fu Chao, and my friends right away."

Li Yunjing looked at Yang Wenzheng and said, "You should inform your acquaintances so everyone can come and have a good time! Don't worry about me spending money!"

"it is good!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing repeatedly emphasized the matter of spending money, Yang Wenzheng knew that Li Yunjing was not just pretending to be polite, but really wanted to throw a big banquet.

Since that's the case, I'll invite a few of my friends along so that Li Yunjing can get to know them too.

Yang Wenzheng was very willing to associate with Li Yunjing.

A person with exceptional abilities and excellent interpersonal skills is someone no one would dislike.

He was actually quite willing to introduce Li Yunjing to a few friends.

As they walked uphill, the two quickly took out communication talismans and sent messages to one acquaintance after another.

Especially for Li Yunjing, who has been in seclusion recently, many acquaintances are very concerned about him, but they can't even see him.

Now that Li Yunjing has emerged from seclusion, it would be somewhat inappropriate not to meet with his friends.

In particular, Li Yunjing is preparing to build his own power base.

He could take this opportunity to get closer to the people around him and see who would like to follow him.

When Li Yunjing and his companion returned to Teacher Yang Wenzheng's cave, they notified everyone they could.

Almost everyone who wasn't tied up with other people replied to the invitation to the banquet.

Whether it's the celebration banquet for Yang Wenzheng and Lü Ruoxi's advancement to the Foundation Establishment Realm, or Li Yunjing's emergence from seclusion, these are all very important events that others cannot afford to ignore.

When Li Yunjing met Wei Fan again, the weapon-refining master was extremely kind and praised Li Yunjing repeatedly.

This made Li Yunjing feel flattered.

He couldn't help but sigh to himself, "The world of cultivation is quite realistic too!"

After Li Yunjing explained his purpose, Wei Fan smiled and said, "It's a small matter, no need to pay, I'll fix it for you!"

"Thank you, Deacon Wei Fan!"

Li Yunjing was overjoyed; why not take advantage of such a good deal?

He handed his "Azure Moon Daoist Robe" to Wei Fan. Wei Fan studied it for a while, shook his head slightly, and sighed, "The craftsmanship is a bit rough! What a waste of these good materials."

"Forehead……"

Li Yunjing was taken aback. Wei Fan really dared to say that!
That's the head of the "Foreign Affairs Hall," personally crafted by Elder Han. Aren't you worried that Elder Han will cause you trouble if he finds out about your evaluation?
Of course, Li Yunjing wouldn't tell anyone about this.

As Wei Fan's disciple, Yang Wenzheng naturally could not betray his teacher.

"Okay! You guys go sit over there for a while. I can sort this out in half an hour!"

Wei Fan became very serious when he got to work, as if he had become a different person, constantly fiddling with Li Yunjing's "Azure Moon Robe".
