Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 218 Purchasing a Flying Boat
"It's so boring!"

Seeing that He Bao had gone astray, Li Yunjing shook his head slightly, turned to look at the female disciple again, and said with a smile, "Let's go! Take me to see the flying boat! Just ignore these boring flies."

"call……"

Hearing this, He Bao glared angrily at Li Yunjing. Seeing that he ignored her, she couldn't help but laugh again: "Heh heh! You can't afford it, so you're pretending! Do you have millions of spirit stones?"

"Junior sister, may we leave now?"

Li Yunjing didn't even glance at He Bao, and continued to question the female disciple beside him.

"Ah! Good! Good! Good!"

At this moment, the female disciple finally realized what was happening, and gestured, saying, "This way, please! All the business related to the flying boats is on the third floor. Senior brother, please follow me."

This female disciple no longer cared about He Bao's Foundation Establishment realm status; no one had as much prestige as the commission from a "Azure Cloud Boat."

Seeing that this senior brother had quite the air about him, not even afraid of Foundation Establishment cultivators, the female disciple had even more confidence in Li Yunjing.

"Well! Let's go!"

Li Yunjing nodded and took the lead, walking towards the stairs.

"Damn it! Did this kid really go to see the flying boat?"

He Bao watched Li Yunjing's figure disappear at the top of the stairs and muttered to himself.

However, this is the territory of "Tiangongtang". He Bao dared to beat people here, and without the "Enforcement Hall" having to intervene, the people of "Tiangongtang" took him down.

The domineering nature of "Tiangongtang" is well-known to everyone in "Shenxiaodaozong"!
Who would dare cause trouble at "Tian Gong Shang Shop"?
This is one of the "Shenxiao Daozong's" money bags.

The development of the "Shenxiao Daozong" is fundamentally inseparable from the "Tiangongtang".

Even the supreme leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" showed great respect to the head of the "Tiangong Hall".

How could He Bao, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, dare to act so recklessly here?

Even if the patriarch of the He family came, he would still have to abide by the rules of "Tian Gong Shang Shop".

Seeing that he couldn't do anything to Li Yunjing, He Bao's face turned ashen, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"Young Master He! That can't be right! Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator needs to save up for one or two hundred years to buy a flying boat. What makes him think he can do that?"

"A henchman next to He Bao asked."

"Hehe! I heard this pale-faced guy is quite cunning, apparently he's hooked up with the young lady of the Yu family! Could this guy be using the Yu family's eldest daughter's spirit stones to act like a big shot outside?"

Another underling said in a lewd voice.

"Damn it! Pretty boys are so popular!"

He Bao cursed angrily, then thought for a moment and said, "Everyone be careful lately, don't let Fu Chao and his gang scheme against you! If you want to have a good life next year, we must participate in this outer sect competition!"

"Understood! Don't worry, Mr. He! We've already started preparations ahead of time."

The henchmen were startled and nodded in agreement.

In March of this year, they were ruined by Fu Chao. They didn't earn any extra income for a year and lived a very frugal life.

In March, we must earn enough spirit stones through the outer sect's small competition!
……

As Li Yunjing went upstairs, a thought struck him: time had flown by, and another year had passed.

The betting odds for the outer sect competition are like getting spirit stones for free.

This year, Fu Chao led everyone to make a fortune.

We can't miss it next year either.

After thinking about it, Fu Chao was still in seclusion, and it seemed that the outer sect competition was not far away.

Li Yunjing pondered that perhaps he should find another person to take over from Fu Chao, organize another scheme, and acquire some resources.

As Li Yunjing pondered this, he followed the female disciple to the third floor.

There were significantly fewer guests on this floor, only a handful of seven or eight people, all of whom were Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Clearly, starting from the third floor, all facilities are for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Hmm? Little Lingling, what brings you up here?"

Upon seeing the female disciple appear on the third floor, an elderly man at the Foundation Establishment stage asked with a smile.

"Elder Yu, this senior brother is here to buy a flying boat, so I led him upstairs."

The female disciple introduced herself with a smile.

"Oh? Buying a flying boat?"

The old man surnamed Yu showed a hint of joy on his face, and after looking Li Yunjing over a few more times, he exclaimed in surprise, "Junior brother, have you just advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

"Senior Brother Yu has a good eye!"

Li Yunjing smiled and nodded, then said, "I just got promoted and am waiting for the true disciple assessment, which is why I haven't changed my identity in the sect."

"Ah? You're a senior martial uncle!"

The female disciple who had come with Li Yunjing exclaimed in surprise, then suddenly realized why he had the means to buy a flying boat—he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
That makes it easier to understand.

In this female disciple's eyes, Foundation Establishment cultivators were all wealthy, powerful, and extremely important figures.

This female disciple could never have imagined that years later, after she advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, she would realize that not all Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were as wealthy as Li Yunjing!
"Hehe! Just got promoted!"

Li Yunjing smiled and nodded at the female disciple.

"Alright! Junior brother, please follow me!"

The elderly man surnamed Yu nodded and solemnly invited Li Yunjing into the reception room on the third floor.

He then said to his female disciple, "Little Lingling, you go down first. Leave things here to me! Your performance is excellent."

"Yes, Elder Yu!"

The female disciple then happily went downstairs.

"Hehe! Junior brother, may I ask your name?"

As Old Yu led Li Yunjing toward the reception room, he asked questions.

"I am Li Yunjing from 'Seven Star Peak'."

Li Yunjing announced his name.

"Oh? Li Yunjing? I've heard of you! Weren't you the champion of last year's outer sect competition?"

Old Yu was dumbfounded, and even stopped in his tracks.

It should be noted that at this time last year, Li Yunjing was able to participate in the outer sect competition, which means that his cultivation level had not exceeded the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm.

Now, a year has passed, and Li Yunjing has actually advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Doesn't this mean that Li Yunjing broke through four realms in one year?

Does it also encompass a higher realm?

What kind of genius is this?
No wonder this person dared to participate in the assessment of true disciples; he is a true genius!
Thinking of this, Old Yu's regard for Li Yunjing increased dramatically.

The two quickly arrived at the reception room.

Elder Yu personally brewed top-quality spiritual tea for Li Yunjing. After exchanging a few pleasantries and becoming familiar with each other, he smiled and asked, "Junior Brother Li, what kind of flying boat do you wish to purchase?"

"I can't afford the higher-end ones either."

Li Yunjing tasted the spiritual tea and then said, "Naturally, I'll choose the 'Azure Cloud Boat,' but I'd like to ask if we have an enhanced version of the 'Azure Cloud Boat' here?"

"An enhanced version of the 'Azure Cloud Boat'?"

Old Yu was dumbfounded; this was the first time he had ever heard of such a request. The "Azure Cloud Boat" of the "Heavenly Craft Hall" was already one of the top flying boat-type spiritual artifacts among Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Even on the border battlefield, the "Azure Cloud Boat" held its own against the flying magical artifacts of other behemoth sects.

It's already an extremely rare and top-grade spiritual artifact, so what's the point of upgrading it?
Why make an enhanced version?

"Junior Brother Li! Here's what happened! Our 'Azure Cloud Boat' of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' is already the most outstanding second-tier warship, there's no need to upgrade it further!"

After thinking for a moment, Elder Yu said, "Junior brother, choosing a normal 'Azure Cloud Boat' will allow you to use it until you advance to the Golden Core Realm."

"Here's what happened! A few days ago, my Daoist partner and I went out and encountered a formidable enemy. Our 'Azure Cloud Boat' was destroyed by a third-tier demon king. For safety's sake, I wanted to see if there was an even more powerful 'Azure Cloud Boat'."

Li Yunjing told Old Yu the reason for the purchase.

"Destroyed a 'Azure Cloud Boat'?"

Old Yu was greatly surprised, especially after hearing that it had been destroyed by a third-tier demon king.

Genius is genius!

Having just advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he dares to provoke a demonic beast of this level!
What courage that takes!

Even the worst of the third-tier demon kings are not something that cultivators below the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Realm can challenge!
This is still the standard of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

By the standards of the cultivation world, such a demon king is invincible unless one reaches the Golden Core stage!
Li Yunjing's "feat" left Old Yu speechless!
However, Old Master Yu quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly asked, "I wonder if you've recovered the wreckage of the 'Azure Cloud Boat'? Perhaps it can be repaired! If it can't be repaired, my 'Heavenly Merchant Shop' can also appraise and buy it!"

The "Azure Cloud Boat" is a valuable item; even if it is damaged, many rare materials can be disassembled from it.

This is not scrap metal!

"It's gone! I detonated the 'Azure Cloud Boat'! It exploded and disintegrated! My Daoist partner and I only managed to escape during that opening."

Li Yunjing shook his head, a hint of regret showing on his face.

How could Li Yunjing not be heartbroken if such a treasure ship were destroyed?

However, the situation was urgent at the time, and his and Yu Yunyi's lives were far more valuable than the "Qingyun Boat".

Choosing to give up "Qingyun Boat" is heartbreaking, but it's something we had no other choice to do.

"Hmm! Junior Brother Li, what are your requirements for the enhanced Qingyun Boat?"

Since Li Yunjing insisted on having it, Old Yu asked him what his requirements were.

"Stronger defense! Stronger attack power! Faster speed! More luxurious and comfortable interior design! That's what I need!"

Li Yunjing replied without hesitation.

He had been thinking about these things for quite some time.

"hiss……"

Old Yu gasped in astonishment. Li Yunjing had truly upgraded his skills!

This is no small feat!

"Hmm! How about an overall increase of 10%?"

Elder Yu was also a second-tier weapon refiner who had participated in the creation of the "Azure Cloud Boat." After pondering for a moment, he continued to ask questions.

"One percent is a bit low! What about the limit? How about pushing it to the maximum?"

Little did they know that Li Yunjing was very dissatisfied and shook his head directly.

"Not satisfied with 10%?"

Old Master Yu was startled. He thought for a full quarter of an hour before saying, "Based on the level of the weapon refiner who made the Azure Cloud Boat, the limit of what I can modify here is only 20%!"

"This level is already incredibly close to being a treasure!"

Finally, Mr. Yu added one more sentence.

"Great! Make it exactly like this! Increase defense, offense, and speed by 20%! Max out comfort!"

Li Yunjing nodded in satisfaction.

Such a level of improvement is absolutely unbeatable!

Li Yunjing believed that the new "Azure Cloud Boat" might be able to escape safely from the Fire Dragon King!

"Hmm! Junior brother, you want the enhanced version of the 'Azure Cloud Boat'? With the strength of our 'Heavenly Craft Hall', we can certainly successfully modify it, but the price will probably be very expensive."

After thinking it over, Old Yu did not reject Li Yunjing's idea of ​​modifying the "Qingyun Boat".

This is also a good thing for "Tiangongtang"!
It's a good opportunity to practice on Li Yunjing's "Azure Cloud Boat" and maybe upgrade it to a second-generation "Azure Cloud Boat".

"Okay! What about the price?"

Li Yunjing was delighted and then asked the crucial question.

“A normal ‘Azure Cloud Boat’ costs 200 million low-grade spirit stones. Yours needs to be modified and strengthened to withstand the attacks of a third-tier demonic beast for a period of time!”

"This requires more and better materials, as well as more formations and restrictions, and also increases in power, defense, and offensive capabilities..."

After rambling on for a while, Old Yu finally said, "We're from the same sect, so let's make it cheaper. I'll just charge you 350 million low-grade spirit stones!"

"hiss……"

Even though Li Yunjing knew the price couldn't be lowered, he still couldn't help but gasp. This old Yu looked kind and compassionate, but he was so ruthless.
"Senior Brother Yu, isn't this price a bit too high?"

Li Yunjing asked.

"Hehe! Junior Brother Li! You don't know how much it costs and how long it takes to upgrade a normal 'Azure Cloud Boat'. It's no less than forging a new one!"

Old Yu stroked his beard with a smile and continued, "This price is really low! If it were sold outside the Shenxiao Dao Sect by our Tian Gong Shang Shop, it wouldn't be worth a second thought without four million low-grade spirit stones!"

"Ha ha……"

Seeing that there seemed to be no room for negotiation on Old Yu's side, Li Yunjing gave a wry smile.

After some calculation, he figured he had enough spirit stones to go.

However, spirit stones are a universal resource, and they can't all be used up. There may still be many places where spirit stones are needed. After thinking about it, Li Yunjing decided to barter for other items.

"Senior Brother Yu, three and a half million low-grade spirit stones is quite a lot! I don't have that many on hand, can we trade resources?"

Li Yunjing asked.

"Sure! As long as it's a good item from the cultivation world, we can convert it into spirit stones at the normal price."

Mr. Yu readily nodded.

It's normal that Li Yunjing can't produce that many spirit stones!
If he could really produce so many spirit stones, Elder Yu would find it hard to believe!
"it is good!"

Li Yunjing directly checked the "storage ring" and took out 30,000 pills of various kinds, more than 3,000 talismans of the first tier, and a low-grade spiritual weapon flying sword.

"So much stuff!"

Old Yu was startled, then nodded and began the inventory and accounting process.

"Hmm! These items will be worth 50 low-grade spirit stones!"

Half an hour later, after Old Yu finished counting the supplies and putting all the treasures into his treasure bag, he looked at Li Yunjing again.

"There are also 1350 high-grade magic artifacts and 170 top-grade magic artifacts here!"

Li Yunjing looked at his treasures, taking them out one by one, his heart bleeding.

"Let's say these cost 35 low-grade spirit stones!"

After counting the quantity, Old Yu said with a smile.
