Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 184 Li Yunjing's Circle
"Alright! It's your time to show off your skills! You guys go in first!"

Seeing the two men's high spirits, Li Yunjing couldn't help but laugh.

Not long after these two arrived, Ma Xingyuan, Yue Zhouwang, Wang Yun, Hou Boyan, Ma Ye, Wang Weizhi, and even Fang Yuxuan and his group from far away in "Chiri Market" also came.

Also present were Ma Jingfu, Zhou Ruying, Song Tianshun, Shan Xiu, Luan Zhongshan, Murong Huang, Kuang Shiyu, and Yuan Hongzhi, all former subordinates of the "Library of the Sutra Repository".

Finally, Yan Dingzhi also arrived with several people from the "Scripture Pavilion" who were very familiar with Li Yunjing.

In addition, there were "Sunrise Peak", "Extreme Madness Peak", "Seven Star Peak", "Brocade Peak", and even Foundation Establishment cultivators who came uninvited.

The scene was incredibly lively, and Li Yunjing's extravagant spending astonished the guests at Donghualou.

Even the big shots on the fifth floor and above talked about Li Yunjing and his little buddies.

As for the customers in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining realms, they made Li Yunjing and his group the talk of the night.

There are just too many formidable figures in Li Yunjing's group.

Inside the "Moonlight Hall," the twenty-four tables in the four corner towers were filled with guests.

Starting with outer disciples and inner disciples, there are also true disciples and Foundation Establishment cultivators of the sect, covering a very wide range.

If this force were to unite, its influence would be truly extraordinary.

Ma Xingyuan, Yue Zhouwang, Hou Boyan, and other friends of Li Yunjing were stunned when they took their seats.

These people all looked much more reserved. Looking around, they realized there were just too many important figures here!
Ma Xingyuan and his group finally witnessed Li Yunjing's prowess!
They gathered in the west building, sat around a table, and spoke in much quieter voices.

They were afraid that if they made too much noise, it would displease the Foundation Establishment cultivators and true disciples.

After all the guests had gathered, Li Yunjing and his group of five returned to the "Moonlight Hall".

The middle-aged scholar discussed it with Li Yunjing and nodded repeatedly.

Then the middle-aged scholar clapped his hands, and instantly, the "Moonlight Hall" went dark.

Just as the crowd began to stir, a ray of clear light burst forth.

Behind the artificial hill in the distance of the "Moonlight Hall," a huge bright moon slowly rises and hangs in the sky above the small space of the "Moonlight Hall."

The bright, gentle moonlight was as clear and luminous as water.

The sky above the "Moonlight Hall" is only ten zhang high. When such a small, round moon rises into the sky, it instantly dispels the darkness and restores the light.

But the gasps of surprise from the crowd had only just begun when white mist began to rise from the four corner towers and the central lawn.

In this setting, it feels as if you are on a cloud, and the entire "Moonlight Hall" is like a fairyland.

"What a magnificent moonlit hall!"

"Amazing!"

"A paradise on earth!"

"Isn't our banquet here like that of immortals going to heaven for a feast?"

……

Before the banquet even started, a great deal of noise had already begun.

People are talking about it everywhere.

However, those Foundation Establishment cultivators, as well as Li Yunjing and the others, merely offered their admiration with appreciative glances.

Unlike the inner and outer disciples, he did not lose his composure due to shock.

"Brother Li, the banquet is officially beginning. Shall I have someone serve the dishes?"

The middle-aged scholar seemed very satisfied with the guest's reaction and said to Li Yunjing with some pride.

"Alright! Thank you for your trouble, shopkeeper!"

Li Yunjing nodded. Although the scene was quite shocking, it was fake, and he wasn't excited about it.

If one day Li Yunjing could truly ascend to heaven and drink and chat with immortals there, he might be quite excited.

While the food was being served at "Donghualou", Li Yunjing, Lü Ruoxi, and Yang Wenzheng stood on the central lawn and said some polite words.

And so the banquet officially began.

The environment inside the "Moonlight Hall" is incredibly warm, neither too hot nor too cold, just right.

On the lush green grass in the center, there appeared some of the musicians, singers, and dancers of "Donghua Tower". These were all disciples of "Shenxiao Daozong". They were skilled in singing and dancing and were proficient in music theory.

This singing and dancing performance made the atmosphere even more lively.

As the main characters this time, Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Yang Wenzheng kept raising their wine glasses and toasting each table.

"Look at those two tables, there are even outer sect disciples there?"

"Really? Who are they?"

"Don't overthink it! Those are Li Yunjing's friends! He joined the sect late, and some of his friends are outer disciples!"

"Oh? I didn't expect that even after Li Yunjing has become successful, he would still remember these friends from the outer sect?"

"Yes! This shows that he is a sentimental person, which is not bad!"

"That's really it!"

……

As a particularly unconventional group, Ma Xingyuan and his two tables have been the subject of much discussion.

This made them even more apprehensive.

Fang Yuxuan, a second-generation cultivator, and several other second-generation cultivators from "Red Sun Valley" were taken aback when they first entered Li Yunjing's circle. At this moment, they truly witnessed Li Yunjing's power!
They used to hear their eldest brother, Fang Yuxuan, talk about how amazing Li Yunjing was, but they didn't take it seriously.

Now look, Li Yunjing has as many as seven or eight true disciples around him!

As for the Foundation Establishment cultivators who came, there were no fewer than twenty!
That's power!

For a time, these second-generation kids from "Red Sun Valley" finally got to see the world.

When Li Yunjing brought Yu Yunyi over to offer a toast, everyone at the table stood up, extremely nervous.

In their eyes, Li Yunjing was no longer a peer, but rather a powerful elder!
"Haha! We're all friends! Relax, everyone, make yourselves at home, eat and drink well. There are some friends over there, I'll go take care of them!"

Noticing their nervousness, Li Yunjing patted Fang Yuxuan on the shoulder and addressed the group.

"Yes, Young Master Li, you're busy! Don't worry about us!"

Fang Yuxuan smiled, but his attitude was even more respectful than before.

Amidst gentle singing and dancing, the tinkling of zithers, and the melodious strains of jade flutes, Li Yunjing shared a drink with Fang Yuxuan and the others before preparing to move on to the next table to offer a toast.

"Good! Enjoy yourselves!"

Li Yunjing smiled, then led Yu Yunyi to Ma Xingyuan's table.

"Young Master Li! Senior Sister Yu!"

Upon seeing Li Yunjing approaching, Ma Xingyuan, Yue Zhouwang, Hou Boyan, and Wang Yun were all excited, their faces flushed, and they stood up from a distance.

"Haha! We're all old brothers! Relax! I brought your wives to visit you!"

Li Yunjing laughed heartily. Seeing these old friends brought back a flood of memories, reminding him of all the things that had happened in the past.

Yu Yunyi rolled her eyes at Li Yunjing; this guy was getting more and more outspoken.

Cheers, everyone!

Li Yunjing put his arm around Yu Yunyi, raised his glass, and addressed his old friends.

"it is good!"

Ma Xingyuan, Yue Zhouwang, Hou Boyan, and Wang Yun all raised their glasses, excitedly clinked them with Li Yunjing's, and drank their wine in one gulp.

No one expected that the young master Li they knew would be so powerful.

Not only is his cultivation speed incredibly fast, but his combat power is also unparalleled. He's truly remarkable!

The fact that Young Master Li still remembered them made them both excited and somewhat flattered.

It was the greatest honor for Ma Xingyuan and his group to have met such a prodigy as Li Yunjing.

"Okay! Everyone, focus on your cultivation. If you need anything, send me a message. I'll definitely help you if I can!"

After talking with his old friend for a while, Li Yunjing concluded with these words.

After Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Yang Wenzheng had toasted everyone, they returned to the east pavilion and sat down in their seats.

In the eastern pavilion, there are six tables, all occupied by Foundation Establishment cultivators and true disciples. These people are all prominent figures in the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect."

Apart from the Yu and Fu families, most of these people were from Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi's social circle.

A very small number were friends they had only recently met. Some of these people were introduced by friends, while others came on their own initiative to get to know Li Yunjing and his team.

After all, everyone can see that this small team of Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, Fu Chao, Yu Zongzhe, Yang Wenzheng, Yang Wenyue and others has a bright future, and each of them is a true successor.

This group of people, along with several veteran disciples, is extremely powerful, and no one can ignore them.

Back in the east building, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Since everyone was of similar social standing, they could chat and laugh freely without feeling constrained.

At this moment, Li Yunjing also had time to examine the table of dishes that cost 3000 low-grade spirit stones.

Li Yunjing was very satisfied with the sumptuous meal on the table.

They are all top-tier first-order and second-order spiritual materials, including demon beast meat, spiritual plants, and spiritual herbs.

These dishes were personally prepared by the second-tier chef of "Donghua Tower". They were perfect in color, aroma and taste, and the spiritual energy contained in the dishes was preserved and even amplified.

Because they were waiting for Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Yang Wenzheng to return, the remaining four people at the table—Fu Chao, Yang Wenyue, Yu Zongzhe, and a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple—had not yet touched their chopsticks.

When Li Yunjing and the others returned, everyone started eating and tasted the delicious dishes. They were so good that Li Yunjing and the others praised them highly.

Such delicious food made Li Yunjing unable to resist eating more before saying, "This food is definitely worth the price!"

"Hehe, Brother Li, you've really gone to great lengths this time."

Yang Wenzheng smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

This time, he was nominally one of the hosts, but Li Yunjing ended up paying for everything.

This made him a little embarrassed.

However, even if Yang Wenzheng were asked to contribute one-third of the spirit stones, he would not pay for it.

Because he really didn't have many spirit stones!
Yang Wenzheng had long since used his meager income to buy top-quality materials and refine magical artifacts.

"No need to be polite! Li Yunjing has recently made a fortune! He won't mind spending these spirit stones!"

Lu Ruoxi rolled her eyes at Li Yunjing, then unceremoniously picked up a bite of food, put it into her cherry-like mouth, and chewed it vigorously, as if she were treating that bite of food as if it were Li Yunjing!
"Ha ha……"

Seeing Lü Ruoxi's gritted teeth, Li Yunjing couldn't help but smile bitterly. He wondered what had gotten into this woman, that she was specifically targeting him today.

No matter how Li Yunjing looked at it, this woman didn't seem to be attracted by his handsome appearance or top-notch talent.

In Li Yunjing's view, Lü Ruoxi was also an enigma, someone who was hard to fathom.

Li Yunjing kept his distance from Lü Ruoxi, not daring to provoke her!

In fact, like Li Yunjing and Fu Chao, there are many talented individuals in the sect. Under normal circumstances, unless they are driven by lust, no one would pursue Lü Ruoxi.

No one can afford to mess with this woman!
If you can't afford to offend them, you should stay far away.

"Hehe! Ruoxi, Li Yunjing has had a tough time too! This time he'll have to spend over 70,000 spirit stones."

Beside Lü Ruoxi, the true disciple leaned lazily back in his chair and said with a grin.

Just because ordinary people don't dare to pursue Lü Ruoxi doesn't mean there aren't any.

"Haha! Senior Brother Han, you're joking! This amount of money is indeed a lot for me, but I'm still very willing to spend it on a meal with friends."

Li Yunjing looked at the man and said solemnly.

He didn't know this person; they had just met. Naturally, Li Yunjing couldn't act like a jovial old friend.

"Yes! Brother Li is a good man! I admire people like Brother Li who are so generous and righteous!"

Senior Brother Han, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, gave Li Yunjing a thumbs up and praised him.

"Hehe! Senior Brother Han is too kind!"

Li Yunjing responded with a sentence.

At this moment, Senior Brother Han looked at Lü Ruoxi again and said with a grin, "Junior Sister Lü, you have advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm. I don't have anything good to give you, but this is a mid-grade spiritual artifact that I obtained by chance. Please accept it!"

As they were talking, Senior Brother Han took out a deep blue bead.

This bead is crystal clear; as soon as it was taken out, it illuminated the east building.

People at each table were drawn to the precious pearl between Senior Brother Han and Lü Ruoxi.

This bead exudes an ethereal aura, seemingly capable of concealing one's presence.

"Senior brother, how could I dare to accept such a valuable gift?"

Lu Ruoxi's heart stirred, but she hesitated.

Just as she said, this mid-grade spiritual artifact is extremely valuable.

Recently, this senior brother Han has been coming to see me every few days for some reason.

How could a smart woman like Lü Ruoxi not know what Han was thinking?
If it were an ordinary person, Lü Ruoxi would have played a trick on them.

It's best to squeeze every last drop of wealth out of the other party, leaving them with nothing!

However, this Senior Brother Han is quite distinguished, very strong, and holds a high position among the many true disciples.

She is not someone a newly recruited disciple can compare to.

Even true disciples are divided into different ranks!

Among the disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", the most powerful true disciples are naturally the legendary figures, the Ten True Disciples!
These people are famous throughout the Southern Heaven Continent and are invincible. The prestige of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" is almost entirely due to these geniuses!

Whenever these people's names are mentioned, other forces will think of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

It can be said that all ten true disciples are destined to advance to the Golden Core Realm and are strong contenders for the future sect leader.

Behind the Ten True Disciples, there are also some top Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

These people also have great potential, and each of them has a chance to catch up and seize a spot among the top ten true disciples.

The next level down are true disciples like Wei Henian, each with a Foundation Establishment Realm Level 6 cultivation, who quickly advance to Foundation Establishment Realm Level 7.

Senior Brother Han is someone of this caliber, someone that ordinary true disciples cannot compare to.

Below Han Shixiong, a true disciple, there is another group of true disciples, and finally, there are Lu Ruoxi, Yang Wenzheng, and other true disciples who have just advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

As for Yu Yunyi, Fu Chao, and the others, they can only be considered to have secured the status and benefits of true disciples ahead of time. Strictly speaking, they do not yet possess the minimum strength required to become true disciples.

This Senior Brother Han holds a high position among the true disciples. If you mess with Senior Brother Han and anger him, there will be serious consequences.

Therefore, Lü Ruoxi hesitated and dared not accept such a valuable gift.

If a man gives you an expensive gift, he must have something in mind. If he doesn't get what he wants, you'll be in trouble later.

“Junior Sister Lü, why refuse? It’s just a small trinket, not worth much money. This ‘Vast Bead’ has the effect of calming the mind and concealing the secrets of heaven. Junior Sister, you can accept it for self-defense.”

Senior Brother Han waved his hand dismissively, seemingly not taking the mid-grade spiritual weapon seriously at all.

This scene made everyone at the table feel slightly awkward.

"That old man is really rich and powerful!"

Even Fu Chao couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Li Yunjing was also somewhat surprised. It seemed that Lü Ruoxi's suitor was someone of considerable importance and extremely generous.
Of all those present, Yu Yunyi was the happiest.

If this Senior Brother Han could win over Lü Ruoxi, she wouldn't have to live in fear anymore, saving that vixen Lü Ruoxi from always eyeing her Li Yunjing.

"Alright then! Thank you, Senior Brother Han!"

Lu Ruoxi didn't want to accept it at first, but seeing Li Yunjing's indifferent gaze, which seemed to show no concern for her, she became very angry. She immediately changed to a smiling face and said sweetly to Senior Brother Han.

"Junior Sister Lü, whatever makes you happy!"

Lu Ruoxi gave Senior Brother Han a slight smile, which immediately made his heart flutter and his desire to win over this woman even stronger.

As for Li Yunjing, he didn't really have any particular feelings when he saw this scene.

Is Lü Ruoxi a beautiful woman?
Of course, it's beautiful.

She's so alluring that every man would want to try her out.

However, with so many beautiful women in the world, how could Li Yunjing possibly care about them all?
He doesn't have the energy to fall in love with every girl he sees!
Li Yunjing doesn't have much love to give to so many people.

Especially since Lü Ruoxi was too difficult to deal with, Li Yunjing seriously lacked confidence in himself.

Moreover, Li Yunjing already has Yu Yunyi, Xing'er, and Yue'er, which is enough for him.

Lü Ruoxi should choose her own life partner. Li Yunjing has no right to offer any advice or make any comments.

After the turmoil subsided, Li Yunjing and his group only talked about some everyday matters.

Things involving the small team's secrets cannot be discussed in detail, especially since there are outsiders present.
