Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 365 Post-Meeting Review
"Oh?"

Li Yunjing was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Then I congratulate Brother Wen in advance on breaking through to the Golden Core Realm and enjoying a thousand-year lifespan!"

"Hehe! You two will also advance to the Golden Core Realm sooner or later. We'll have to help each other in the future and advance and retreat together on the path of immortality!"

Hearing Li Yunjing's words, Wen Bin was pleased and smiled.

"Hmm! It seems Brother Wen's talent is truly extraordinary! I started cultivating fifty or sixty years earlier than you, yet I'm still lagging behind. It's truly enviable!"

Liao Wanqing also praised it from the side.

Sometimes, it's not enough to just work hard and cultivate yourself to achieve something!
Those with strong talent can achieve twice the results with half the effort in cultivation. There is no such thing as a bottleneck. Once their cultivation level is high enough and their magical power is full, they can directly break through their cultivation level.

The more talented a person is, the later they will hit their plateau!
Mediocre cultivators may encounter bottlenecks at the lower levels of the Qi Refining Realm and need to consume Breakthrough Pills to break through to the next realm; some may be stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage and need to consume Foundation Establishment Pills.

Geniuses like Li Yunjing, Wen Bin, and Liao Wanqing face no bottlenecks during their Foundation Establishment stage and do not require the aid of elixirs, thus their future potential is even greater.

Li Yunjing, in particular, broke through to the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm without encountering any bottlenecks. Each time, he simply used his magic power to break through smoothly in one go.

His potential is far greater than that of other Foundation Establishment Realm geniuses.

In Li Yunjing's mind, he felt that he would not encounter any bottlenecks even if he cultivated to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

As for whether he can form a core, he is very confident. As for the actual outcome, we will have to see how things go at that time. In any case, in Li Yunjing's view, his current cultivation path is going very smoothly and there are no problems.

The auction had entered its third day, and almost all items except for those in the second and third tiers had been auctioned off.

The Nascent Soul cultivators on the eighth floor finally received the fourth-tier item, and several important figures began to offer prices.

However, none of these auctions were as lively as the first item, the "Nirvana Pill," nor did they exceed the price of the "Nirvana Pill."

Clearly, the items that the Nascent Soul cultivators took out were the most ordinary treasures at their level, and would not cause a sensation.

While chatting, Li Yunjing kept an eye on the prices of each item up for auction.

As the auction was nearing its end, he smiled at Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing and said, "It's almost over, and I'm going to get busy here. I'll head out first, you two can continue enjoying the show!"

"Okay! Let's get together again sometime!"

Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing nodded, stood up, and saw Li Yunjing out.

At this point, they also knew that the auction was over, and as the boss, Li Yunjing would definitely have to check the accounts and finish up the remaining work.

The owner of "Star Moon Trading Company" naturally couldn't stay and chat any longer.

After Li Yunjing left, Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing returned to their seats and turned their attention to the auction stage.

At this point, the auction was nearing its end, with the last few items being brought out one after another.

Once the last item was sold at auction, the three-day auction officially ended with Yu Yuanhua's announcement.

The cultivators in the hall stood up one after another. Some were still discussing the auction with great interest, while others hurriedly left to attend to their own affairs.

Li Yunjing, on the other hand, had already arrived on the fourth floor.

He was busy checking accounts and arranging follow-up matters.

The auction has come to a successful end, but for boss Li Yunjing, the work has only just begun.

As the owner of the auction house, he not only had to settle accounts with the owners of the consigned items in spirit stones, but also had to prepare a large red envelope for everyone who helped him.

These people have different levels of cultivation and different roles, so naturally they cannot all be treated the same. This requires Li Yunjing to carefully consider and find a reasonable way to allocate them.

Everyone has to be satisfied.

"Brother Li, here is the summary account for the past few days. Please take a look."

At this moment, a fellow disciple from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" handed an account book to Li Yunjing.

"Alright! Thank you for your help, senior brother!"

Li Yunjing took the accounts, scanned them with his divine sense, and frowned slightly.

Despite the seemingly large transaction volume, Li Yunjing's actual income was not high.

Looking at the meager actual income in the accounts, Li Yunjing couldn't help but feel a sense of worry.

"Forget it! You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub! This time, consider it a wasted effort!"

Finally, Li Yunjing gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

The red envelopes given by those who help must be generous enough to satisfy or even shock everyone; otherwise, no one will be willing to help "Star Moon Trading Company" in the future.

After much thought, Li Yunjing finally came up with an idea.

The Qi Refining Realm cultivators borrowed from Shenxiao Temple were each given 500 low-grade spirit stones as expenses for the three days. Li Linzi and Shi Huilan, as the leaders, received a higher reward of 2000 low-grade spirit stones each.

As for the Foundation Establishment stage fellow disciples who helped, each received 10000 low-grade spirit stones, regardless of their cultivation level.

Of the eleven elders, Fu Lingfeng and Yu Yuanhua were counted separately, while the others returned all the commissions for providing the auction items and each received a red envelope containing 10000 mid-grade spirit stones.

As for Yu Yuanhua, Li Yunjing gritted his teeth and directly sealed 50000 mid-grade spirit stones!

As for Fu Lingfeng, Li Yunjing also went all out and gave him 88888 mid-grade spirit stones!

As for those who helped him, such as "Flying Cloud Sect," "Holy Sound Sect," and "Azure Wave Island," all their auction items and commissions were returned.

As for the Five Elements True Man, Flying Cloud True Man, and Holy Sound Fairy, Li Yunjing had no way to offer any material thanks. Apart from returning all the commissions, he could only visit them in person to express his gratitude.

As a result, Li Yunjing not only failed to make money, but also suffered a small loss.

Recently, all of Xingyue Trading Company's profits have been returned.

After Li Yunjing spent three days arranging things for everyone, he finally had time to take stock of his gains in the backyard.

Just as Li Yunjing had planned, he gave back all the benefits, satisfying everyone except himself.

His personal belongings were completely used up.

Aside from the treasures he could use at any time, Li Yunjing didn't have much else left to sell.

"Alas! What's lost can be regained. The reputation of 'Star Moon Trading Company' has already been established, and with the support of 'Flying Cloud Sect' and 'Holy Sound Sect,' the losses will be earned back sooner or later!"

That was the only way Li Yunjing could console himself.

Of course, Li Yunjing's spirit stones were not wasted!

Whether they were members of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" or friends from the "Feiyun Sect", "Shengyin Sect", and "Bibo Island", they all secretly praised Li Yunjing and considered him a friend worth making!

That's really the case. If real money is shared, who wouldn't be satisfied unless they're ungrateful?

After the auction, the cooperation between the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and other forces deepened, and a new group of forces joined the "East Sea Alliance".

The "Blood Slaughter Gang," "Lake Heart Island," and "Azure Sea Palace," the seven major powers of the East China Sea, have also begun to waver. Anyone with eyes can see the powerful momentum of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect." Does the "Mingxin Temple" still have a way out?

"Lake Island" and "Azure Sea Palace" are both righteous and evil; if you relax a bit, they can also be considered forces of the righteous path.

The island lords and palace masters of both sides have communicated with the Five Elements True Man, the Flying Cloud True Man, and the Holy Sound Fairy many times, and are making final preparations for the alliance.
