Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 181 The Young Lady is in a Hurry (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Recommendations)
Yang Wenzheng was already familiar with his teacher's dedication to refining weapons, so he was used to it.

Yang Wenzheng pointed outside the cave.

This was a hand gesture from Yang Wenzheng to Li Yunjing, indicating that Li Yunjing should follow him to the stone cave to the side.

That was Yang Wenzheng's private weapon-refining room.

Li Yunjing understood immediately, nodded, and quietly followed Yang Wenzheng out of the stone cave.

The two walked three zhang (approximately 10 meters) before Yang Wenzheng led Li Yunjing to his territory.

"My teacher is incredibly dedicated to his work, so we can just wait here."

Yang Wenzheng prepared some spiritual fruits and tea for Li Yunjing before smiling and saying this.

"It's nothing! It's the spirit of craftsmanship! I understand!"

Li Yunjing tasted Yang Wenzheng's tea, and it tasted good!

"Hehe! Have you made arrangements at 'Donghua Tower'?"

Yang Wenzheng asked.

"It's all set! I'll have Fu Chao handle it! He's a big client there, so I'll have Fu Chao negotiate and book an entire floor. That should be enough for all of us to have a good meal."

Li Yunjing nodded; he would naturally take care of this matter thoroughly.

If even this small matter goes wrong, and there are no seats available when all the guests gather, Li Yunjing will lose face big time.

"Okay! That's good!"

Yang Wenzheng nodded, finally putting his worries to rest.

His question was meant to be a reminder to Li Yunjing.

If they don't reserve seats now, it will probably be difficult to get so many seats by evening.

Yang Wenzheng may look young, but he is actually mature beyond his years and extremely meticulous in his work.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to do such a complicated job as weapon crafting.

As the two chatted, Li Yunjing changed into his "Mysterious Jade Inner Armor" and "Swift Wind Boots".

With these two magical artifacts protecting him, Li Yunjing didn't know if he truly felt it or if he was just thinking it, but he felt incredibly safe!
This special feeling is just amazing!

With these two magical artifacts, plus the two spiritual swords in his hand, and his "Five Dragon Wheel" embryo, who can compare to Li Yunjing in terms of wealth?

Li Yunjing chatted with Yang Wenzheng while holding the "Five Dragon Wheel" in his hand.

He kept playing with this embryonic spiritual weapon, gradually becoming familiar with it as his weapon.

This time, Li Yunjing was determined to learn some real skills from Yang Wenzheng, so he asked Yang Wenzheng about all the problems he encountered in the process of refining the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal".

A weapon refiner of Yang Wenzheng's caliber could easily answer Li Yunjing's various questions and problems.

Seeing that Li Yunjing seemed very interested in weapon crafting made Yang Wenzheng very happy, and he talked with Li Yunjing even more enthusiastically.

In the end, Yang Wenzheng even took out the materials and demonstrated the issues that Li Yunjing had raised step by step.

With a demonstration by an expert, Li Yunjing suddenly understood and immediately realized where he had made a mistake.

"Yang Wenzheng is indeed a genius in weapon crafting. According to his method, as long as I refine it again, my 'Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal' will immediately be upgraded to a high-grade magic weapon, and its power will increase by 50%!"

Li Yunjing was extremely excited.

Li Yunjing knew that Yang Wenzheng had noticed his secret weapon-forging, which was why he was willing to use his words and actions to help Li Yunjing understand how to forge weapons.

"Thank you very much, Brother Yang!"

After Professor Yang Wenzheng finished speaking, Li Yunjing looked solemn and expressed his gratitude.

"Hahaha! Brother Li, you're too kind! There's no need for words of thanks between brothers like us. If you're interested in weapon crafting, you're welcome to come over often so we can exchange ideas."

Yang Wenzheng laughed loudly, "Isn't this exactly what I've been waiting for?"

Li Yunjing's abilities were revealed, and he truly soared to great heights!
Li Yunjing is destined for a bright future and is a future prominent figure in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect". Who wouldn't want to befriend such a person?
Yang Wenzheng and Li Yunjing already had a good relationship.

Seeing that Li Yunjing was interested in weapon crafting, he naturally did everything he could to help him.

Investing in Li Yunjing now may bring you rich rewards in the future because of the favors you receive now.

What genius doesn't understand this simple principle?

"I misspoke!"

Li Yunjing nodded, acknowledging his mistake.

Meanwhile, just as Yang Wenzheng was about to say something, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear. It was Wei Fan who had finished repairing things and was calling him and Li Yunjing over.

"The teacher's work is finished! Let's go over there!"

Yang Wenzheng stood up and said.

"it is good!"

Li Yunjing responded and then went with Yang Wenzheng back to Wei Fan's stone cave.

"Li Yunjing, your 'Azure Moon Dao Robe' has been repaired! I've upgraded it for you; its defensive power is now a full ten percent stronger than before! Unfortunately, it's already finished being crafted. If you want to further improve it, you'll need to disassemble it and re-craft it."

Wei Fan seemed somewhat dissatisfied with this and shook his head slightly.

Clearly, Wei Fan didn't think much of Elder Han's weapon-refining techniques.

Elder Han's crafting of this treasure involved a significant investment of materials, coupled with his powerful magical abilities, which allowed him to forcibly fuse these materials, elevating the "Azure Moon Robe" to a low-grade spiritual artifact.

If he were to arrange these materials, he would surely be able to forge a perfect low-grade spiritual weapon, whose power would rival that of a mid-grade spiritual weapon.

"This is already very good! This disciple is very grateful to Deacon Wei Fan!"

Wearing the brand-new "Azure Moon Taoist Robe," feeling its coolness, Li Yunjing was extremely satisfied.

His skill level is limited; how could he dare to aspire to perfection like Wei Fan?

Li Yunjing was extremely satisfied that he was able to refine a spiritual weapon to a normal level.

"Okay! As long as you're satisfied! You can leave now!"

Wei Fan nodded, indicating that Li Yunjing and Yang Wenzheng could leave.

Although he did Li Yunjing a favor, Li Yunjing was, after all, a Foundation Establishment Realm expert, and he and a Qi Refining Realm cultivator didn't have much in common.

Even if he wanted to chat with Li Yunjing, he felt uncomfortable, since he still had to maintain the image of a superior person.

"Yes!"

Li Yunjing and Yang Wenzheng bowed to Wei Fan before taking their leave.

As soon as he stepped outside, Li Yunjing used a communication talisman to send a message to Fu Chao: "How are the arrangements going?"

"You don't trust me to handle this?"

Fu Chao relayed the message.

"Brother Yang! I'll be going now. Come early tonight! You're one of the main characters!"

Seeing that Fu Chao had taken care of things, Li Yunjing was finally relieved.

Okay! See you tonight!

Yang Wenzheng nodded and personally escorted Li Yunjing down the mountain.

After returning home, Li Yunjing took stock of his resources to see what his current net worth was.

[Spirit Beast: 1 Monster Egg]

After taking stock of his personal belongings, Li Yunjing calculated his wealth, which far surpassed that of small sects and small families.

Even a medium-sized sect like the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" would have to sell everything they own and live a very frugal life to come up with as much wealth as Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing counted all the wealth, and his eyes shone as he looked at all the good things.

No wonder Li Yunjing is a money-grubber; he just has too many good things!

This is the joy of counting money!

Now, Li Yunjing is incredibly happy!
"Now that we have money and power, we need to improve some of our basic skills!"

Li Yunjing kept pondering...

After a long while, Li Yunjing took out the demon beast egg and explored it with his divine sense, feeling a powerful life force. As for when it would hatch or what it was, Li Yunjing had no idea.

After thinking about it, Li Yunjing decided to keep it and hatch it to see if it would be useful.

Li Yunjing has very high requirements when it comes to spirit beasts.

Without top-tier talent and immense potential, Li Yunjing had no intention of raising them.

Only spirit beasts that can keep up with the pace of cultivation, or those with special supernatural abilities, are worth the effort to raise.

This monster egg can only be left for now, waiting for the little thing inside to hatch.

At that time, Li Yunjing will decide whether the little guy stays or goes.

If it's really bad, just give it to someone else to raise.

At this point, Li Yunjing had already mastered three of the deputy positions.

Next, he plans to learn alchemy, puppetry, and divination.

The cultivation of immortality is a vast and complex system, and Li Yunjing naturally doesn't have the energy to learn everything he sees.

Knowing a few top-level skills is enough for self-defense.

Celestial Master, Alchemist, and Puppet Master are all top-tier professions.

They hold an extremely high position in the cultivation world and are able to earn a large amount of resources.

These professions are very beneficial for cultivation, so Li Yunjing naturally also learned the basics of these three professions.

As the name suggests, an alchemist is someone who refines pills and medicines; there's nothing more to say about that.

Puppet masters are those who create puppets. After the puppet mechanical beast in Li Yunjing's hands was damaged, there was no way to repair it.

He held a grudge about it and really wanted to catch the cultivator who assassinated him.

I wonder how the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" operates?
Is there still no result?

When I have time, I need to go to "Ten Thousand Swords City" to ask about the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" and put some pressure on them.

The puppetry skills of that small family cultivator are very strong. If you want to exchange for a cultivation technique of this level in the "Scripture Pavilion", you would probably have to go up to the second floor.

Li Yunjing doesn't have that ability.

The Heavenly Master is extremely useful. By learning the art of divination, one can deduce heavenly secrets and predict one's own fortune and misfortune. It can be said that having this skill brings numerous benefits.

If you want to go further on the path of spiritual practice, how can you not learn something?
However, the content related to "Heavenly Secrets Techniques," like the Puppet Techniques, is completely absent from the first floor of the "Scripture Pavilion."

In order to learn this knowledge, Li Yunjing planned to find an opportunity to ask Steward Xu for a favor and get a spot on the second floor so he could study there.

He has enough spirit stones now, so he's not worried about not being able to exchange them!
Tens of thousands of spirit stones to read a book?
Li Yunjing is willing to give it up!
"Li Yunjing, come pick me up!"

Just as Li Yunjing was pondering his next move, his communication talisman suddenly vibrated again.

He opened it and found it was a message from Yu Yunyi.

This greatly surprised Li Wutian!
Why did the young lady suddenly ask me out?

They hadn't spent time alone together in a long time.

Does this mean they need to talk to me?

Li Yunjing was somewhat excited, but more than that, he felt uneasy.

He seems to have too many secrets lately...

"Okay! Wait for me!"

After thinking it over, Li Yunjing realized he couldn't refuse Yu Yunyi's request, so he replied with a message before heading out.

On Chaoyang Peak, when Li Yunjing saw Yu Yunyi again, he was amazed.

At this moment, Yu Yunyi, dressed in white, exuded a captivating charm that surpassed her usual dignified demeanor.

Yu Yunyi's exquisitely beautiful face was flawless, and it seemed that she had deliberately worn light makeup this time.
Her bright, watery eyes looked at Li Yunjing, containing a deep meaning that was hard to explain.

Beneath that white dress was a perfect figure, with captivating curves and graceful undulations.

Whether it's her slender waist or her long, straight legs, everything about her is perfect without any flaws.

"You came."

At Yu Yunyi's door, Yu Yunyi opened the door and gestured for Li Yunjing to come in.

"Yes! If Yunyi invites me, I'll come even if it means traveling thousands of miles, let alone within the sect?"

Smelling the unique fragrance emanating from Yu Yunyi, Li Yunjing chuckled and slipped past her delicate body to enter her home.

As their bodies intersected, Li Yunjing felt a sense of suffocation as he sensed Yu Yunyi's breathtaking firmness.

He could vaguely see the outline of a beautiful body beneath the hazy white clothes.

Even though they were separated by clothing, their presence still stirred his heart and filled Li Yunjing with longing.

Unexpectedly, Yu Yunyi, who always presented herself as dignified, was so stunningly beautiful when dressed up.

That small patch of radiant skin, set against the white dress, possessed an indescribable charm.

"Really? Xing'er, Yue'er is beckoning you, why don't you hurry back?"

Yu Yunyi spoke softly, her voice gentle and pleasant, yet carrying a hint of melancholy.

Hearing this sent a chill down one's spine; it seemed no one could bear to see such a woman suffer.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing's heart also trembled.

He couldn't help but blush; Yu Yunyi had thoroughly investigated his background.

This is exactly what Li Yunjing is most worried about, and there is a 99% chance that this matter cannot be kept secret.

However, when Yu Yunyi actually exposed him, Li Yunjing still felt somewhat awkward.

"Hehe! This..."

Li Yunjing was speechless and didn't know what to say.

To say that Xing'er and Yue'er have no feelings for each other and are just playing around?

He really couldn't bring himself to say it.

But how can he express his feelings for Yunyi?

While embracing Xing'er and Yue'er, he said he liked Yu Yunyi?
Li Yunjing is not this shameless!
Yu Yunyi's words put Li Yunjing in a dilemma.

"Alright, let's talk inside!"

Yu Yunyi glanced at Li Yunjing with a half-smile, remaining calm and composed, before turning and walking towards the living room.

Yu Yunyi was furious, her teeth clenched tightly.

She may not lash out now, but that doesn't mean she doesn't care.

However, Li Yunjing and her relationship was never made public.

This left Yu Yunyi seemingly without a reason to get angry!
On what grounds should she be angry?
Her current reluctance to act doesn't mean she's magnanimous; it simply means that Yu Yunyi is harboring certain thoughts in her mind.

"Hey! Yunyi, you look special today! Even more beautiful?"

Li Yunjing sat in the chair and, noticing the awkward atmosphere, made conversation.

"Really? So you weren't pretty before? You must not have been as pretty as Xing'er or Yue'er, right?"

Yu Yunyi smiled faintly, a smile that could topple kingdoms; her radiant smile captivated Li Yunjing.

Before Li Yunjing could explain, Yu Yunyi, with her delicate, jade-like arms, gently raised them and gathered her long, black, and lustrous hair.

Looking at Yu Yunyi's bright red lips and her white, sparkling teeth.

In that instant, Li Yunjing truly felt a surge of anger.

Even Li Yunjing would find it hard to resist such a perfect woman!

For a moment, Li Yunjing seemed slightly dazed, but he recovered completely in the next instant.

Li Yunjing thought to himself, "Impressive! Yu Yunyi hasn't practiced any seductive arts; her charm is innate!"

"I'm asking you a question. Are you unwilling to answer, or do you not know how to answer?"

Yu Yunyi parted her red lips slightly and continued to ask questions.

Clearly, Yu Yunyi cares a lot about this matter.

"Sigh! Even the most perfect woman gets jealous!"

Li Yunjing sighed inwardly, his expression unchanged, and said firmly and earnestly, "In this world, no one can compare to Yunyi's beauty!"

These were Li Yunjing's true feelings, and he said them without any burden.

Li Yunjing had a great fondness for Yu Yunyi, this perfect woman, from the very first day they met.

What's more, Yu Yunyi was Li Yunjing's savior!
Yu Yunyi seemed very satisfied after hearing Li Yunjing's words.

She leaned back gracefully in her chair, stretching out her beautiful figure in a comfortable position, and smiled, "Whether it's true or not, it sounds nice."

Yu Yunyi looked languid, seemingly quite at ease being with Li Yunjing.

There was no sign of wariness whatsoever.

　This chapter included some data, and some readers have commented that I've already seen it, but I still want to clarify the protagonist's condition.

　　I've been updating too much and too fast. If I don't organize my posts, some readers might not be able to follow the flow.

　　To make the changes in the main character clear to everyone, I thought I should write down some data.
