Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 347 Temporary Head (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Since its establishment, the only cultivators in the "Star Moon Trading Company" besides Feng Xueting are Cong Rujin, who joined not long ago and is a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

How could two mere Foundation Establishment cultivators, with little supernatural power or cultivation, possibly suppress all the petty scoundrels?
Finding a capable person has become a very important task at present.

Li Yunjing and Jiang Feilong went to a restaurant on the street.

The restaurants on the islands of the East China Sea specialize in seafood, all made from wild monsters caught in the sea. The seafood is incredibly fresh and has a unique flavor.

Li Yunjing and Jiang Feilong exchanged drinks and became much more familiar with each other.

When Li Yunjing asked him to help take care of "Xingyue Trading Company" in the future, Jiang Feilong naturally patted his chest and guaranteed that there would be no problem!

With this assurance, Li Yunjing finally made the most of his time, drinking until midnight before bidding farewell to Jiang Feilong.

This time, Li Yunjing did not return to the Shenxiao Temple branch, which was full of experts from all over the East China Sea. With his level of cultivation, he found it boring and preferred to stay in his own Xingyue Trading Company.

"Uncle-Master Li, how should we arrange the flowers and trees here?"

When Li Yunjing returned to his backyard and was preparing to tidy up a room to use as a bedroom, a crisp voice came from behind him.

Li Yunjing turned his head and saw a slender young female disciple standing under the corridor, holding a pot of spiritual plants, smiling and asking Li Yunjing a question.

"Nephew, who are you?"

Li Yunjing narrowed his eyes, looked at the other person, and asked softly.

“Disciple Shi Huilan, was sent by Martial Uncle Li Linzi to manage the backyard for him.”

Shi Huilan said respectfully.

Li Yunjing noticed that although this disciple named Shi Huilan was not highly skilled, only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, she possessed a calm and composed demeanor in her every move.

It seems that he had quite a background before entering the immortal sect.

However, it must be because his aptitude was average that he was left in Yingtian Prefecture.

This woman wants to get close to me, probably hoping to gain some benefits from me.

Li Yunjing could understand this kind of thing.

Cultivating immortality is difficult; not everyone is a genius who can thrive in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."

Many cultivators at the lower levels have paid a huge price in order to advance further on the path of immortality, becoming dogs, slaves, and servants to others.

For resources, they would sell anything.

Li Yunjing doesn't have such people around him because he's too high up.

Those who resort to any means to get close to him are naturally not qualified to receive Li Yunjing's patronage.

Ma Xingyuan, Hou Boyan, Yue Zhouwang, Wang Yun, and the like are already considered the lowest caliber of people Li Yunjing knows.

Apart from them, the worst among them were all of above-average quality among the inner disciples.

Now, Li Yunjing saw a mere Qi Refining Realm Level 4 cultivator taking the initiative to approach him, which piqued his interest.

"Squeak..."

Li Yunjing pushed open the door and entered the room, where he saw some bonsai trees arranged by Shi Huilan in accordance with feng shui principles and subtly aligned with the direction of the spirit-gathering formation.

"Do you know formations?"

This surprised Li Yunjing. How could a mere cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining know how to form formations?
Seeing the look of shock on Li Yunjing's face, Shi Huilan was delighted and smiled, saying, "I know a little. Before I entered the sect, I studied some things at home."

"The Shi family?"

Li Yunjing fell into deep thought, seemingly having never heard of the Shi family.

“Uncle-Master Li, my family was originally a family of cultivators, but it has declined.”

Seeing that Li Yunjing was thinking, Shi Huilan explained, "Later, through some connections, he was able to join the sect. Unfortunately, he was not talented enough and was reassigned to the Shenxiao Temple."

"Ok!"

Li Yunjing nodded, already having made up his mind.

In the world of cultivation, fortunes rise and fall, fortunes change every thirty years, and there are no eternal protagonists.

The Shenxiao Dao Sect has also experienced decline in history, and even faced the threat of extermination.

However, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is, after all, a behemoth sect with a profound foundation. Even if it has declined for an era, it can still rise again as long as it has new outstanding disciples.

With each rise, the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" becomes stronger than before!

Being prepared for danger even in times of peace, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" will leave behind more contingency plans to ensure that it will not be wiped out in the event of decline, but will instead rise again in a very short time!
The Shenxiao Dao Sect has the resources to do so.

Some small families and sects, however, lack the foundation to start over.

The "Spirit Serpent Sect" before us is a prime example; once it is destroyed, there is almost no chance of it ever returning.

Those thousand or eight hundred disciples who escaped either became independent cultivators or joined other forces and became disciples of other sects.

A major sect thus vanished without a trace.

Shi Huilan's family wasn't particularly powerful, so their decline wasn't surprising. Li Yunjing instructed Shi Huilan, "You're in charge here! Before 'Star Moon Trading Company' opens, you'll have ten people oversee everything here."

"Yes, Uncle Li! I will definitely clean this place up!"

Shi Huilan was overjoyed, finally getting the opportunity to serve Li Yunjing.

"Ok!"

Li Yunjing led Shi Huilan on a stroll in the courtyard and inspected the work done by these people.

He casually inquired about Shi Huilan's understanding of business and formations, but the more he listened, the more alarmed he became.

Shi Huilan is not very good at cultivation, but she is really talented in business and array formations.

In the end, Li Yunjing realized that this woman was a promising talent!
As for the Qi Refining Realm cultivation being too low?

Not many problems!

Even if it's just a pig, as long as Li Yunjing is willing to cultivate it, he can still help it advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Foundation Establishment cultivators can live for five hundred years!
With so many years to go, as long as Shi Huilan works hard for him, Li Yunjing will definitely be able to recoup the resources he has spent from her!
"My 'Star Moon Trading Company' is currently unattended. Would you be willing to take over for a period of time? As for your salary, you won't be shortchanged!"

Li Yunjing suddenly asked.

Shi Huilan was overjoyed and said with a smile, "I am willing to serve my martial uncle!"

As for her treatment, Shi Huilan didn't ask any further questions!

As long as you manage the "Star Moon Trading Company" well, Uncle Li will definitely not treat you unfairly!

Even a glimpse of wealth peeking out from between her fingers from a true disciple would be more than enough for Shi Huilan to enjoy.

"Very good! Work well for my 'Star Moon Merchant Guild,' and I will reward you handsomely based on your performance. Advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm will not be a problem!"

Li Yunjing looked at the other person intently again and said, "I can see that you are an ambitious person. 'Star Moon Trading Company' needs someone like you."

……

Just as Li Yunjing appointed the temporary head of the "Star Moon Trading Company," negotiations between various factions were still in full swing inside the main hall of the "Shenxiao Temple" branch.

The head seat in the main hall naturally belongs to the Nascent Soul Realm patriarch of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

To his left and right were the leader of the "Holy Sound Sect," the Holy Sound Fairy, and the Flying Cloud Sect's Flying Cloud True Man.

Both of them are Nascent Soul Realm experts.

To the left of these three Nascent Soul Realm elders are, in order, a group of elders from the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect".

On the right were experts from other factions, among whom the Two Immortals of the Azure Waves sat at the head of the table, signifying their supreme status, second only to those at the Nascent Soul stage.

A large group of Golden Core Realm experts, representing their respective factions, each with their own interests and demands.

Such negotiations naturally require a long time and effort to discuss and compromise, ultimately reaching a result acceptable to all parties.

Of course, where will the profits come from?
It's impossible for the entire subsidy to be provided by the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!
The Shenxiao Dao Sect can only share a portion of the benefits with various factions.

More benefits will come from those who pledge allegiance to the Mingxin Temple!

"Just now, the Five Elements Master said that whichever force conquers the 'Soul Control Sect' or the 'Ascetic Sect' will own them. Is this true?!"

The Fairy of Holy Sound opened her beautiful eyes and asked with undisguised joy.

"Excellent! Whoever contributes the most to attacking the 'Soul Control Sect' and the 'Ascetic Sect' will be the one to take them down! Of course, other forces within the alliance who have contributed will definitely be compensated according to their merits!"

The Five Elements Master chuckled lightly and said calmly.

Since the interests of the East China Sea don't belong to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" anyway, he might as well be generous with other people's money!
"Hehe! Fairy Saintly Sound, which one have you taken a fancy to? How about the remaining one belongs to my 'Flying Cloud Sect'?"

Master Feiyun chuckled.

"Master Feiyun, both of these families possess fourth-tier spiritual veins. Occupying either one would be fine. I have no choice but to occupy one of them!"

The Fairy of Holy Sound smiled calmly and responded gently.

This time, the Five Elements True Man of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" personally came to the East Sea and met with Fairy Shengyin and True Man Feiyun. They immediately proposed a sparring match.

The Five Elements True Man's supreme Daoist techniques utterly astonished Fairy Saint Sound and True Man Flying Cloud!
Only then did the two realize how ignorant they had been, underestimating the formidable strength of the Supreme Elder of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect".

It was precisely because of the support of a great master like the Five Elements True Man, who was willing to help them reshuffle the deck and create a new landscape in the East Sea, that Fairy Shengyin and True Man Feiyun were so proactive.

The Five Elements Master looked at the two with a smile, feeling very satisfied.

All the forces that have come here are now taking this matter very seriously, even the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" must pay 100% attention to it, and with my help, I will be able to deal with the experts from "Mingxin Temple".

The trouble in the East China Sea was resolved without anyone noticing.

Thinking of this, the Five Elements Master couldn't help but think of Li Yunjing, that kid's scheme was really good.

Thanks to Li Yunjing's strategy, at least tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment cultivators, hundreds of Golden Core elders, and three to five Nascent Soul elders were saved for the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!
With such achievements, the Five Elements Master naturally had a great fondness for Li Yunjing and recognized his talent!
