Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 386 Final preparations
You should know that Li Yunjing is currently short of people. Originally, Li Yunjing did not intend to take Xing'er and Yue'er with him this time!
Now, he has changed his mind!
Perhaps, "Shenxiao Island" needs Xing'er and Yue'er to manage it more.

That is the largest shop of "Star and Moon Trading Company", with great potential for development.

The current person in charge, Li Linzi, is not a businessman and can't handle the situation; Shi Huilan's cultivation is too weak, a mere Qi Refining Realm cultivator, no customer would give her a second glance.

Under these circumstances, Li Yunjing could not expect Jiang Feilong to continue helping him!
It should be noted that Jiang Feilong is a steward and manager of the market, not the manager of "Xingyue Trading Company"!

Using the true teachings of fellow disciples like this, how many favors will one incur?
Will Li Yunjing not be required to repay the debt in the future?

Once Jiang Feilong opens his mouth, Li Yunjing will have no choice but to bleed!

Business matters have become entangled with the camaraderie among sect members, causing a lot of trouble. But now things are better. With Xing'er and Yue'er stepping forward, their Foundation Establishment cultivation and their status as Li Yunjing's women are enough to intimidate cultivators from all sides.

In the East China Sea, regardless of sect, faction, or family, even Golden Core cultivators have to give Li Yunjing some face!
This is not just a matter of the reputation of a true disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect". There is an even more important point: Li Yunjing has made a name for himself in the East China Sea!

He showed the cultivators of the East Sea his power!

That's why no one dares to bully Li Yunjing!

Li Yunjing released the two women and said with a smile, "Let's go home!"

"it is good!"

Xing'er and Yue'er laughed and led Li Yunjing into the courtyard. The courtyard was filled with the fragrance of flowers and rich in spiritual energy, clearly a carefully arranged place for cultivation.

Xing'er and Yue'er each took one of Li Yunjing's arms, their faces beaming with joy.

"Brother Yunjing, how long will you be staying with us this time?"

Xing'er asked softly, a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"Okay! I'll leave in three days!"

Li Yunjing smiled and kept everyone in suspense.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Xing'er and Yue'er were indeed disappointed. They could only meet once every few years, and each meeting lasted only three days, which made it difficult to alleviate their longing.

Seeing the two women's dejected and pitiful appearance, Li Yunjing's heart trembled, and he laughed, "I was just joking with you! This time, I'll take you with me!"

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Yue'er's eyes, but she quickly added with some worry, "But what about the business of 'Star Moon Trading Company'?"

"Yes! Right now we only have two Foundation Establishment cultivators here, Feng Xueting and Cong Rujin. If we leave, we'll lose half our strength!"

Xing'er frowned and said with concern.

Li Yunjing gently patted the two women's hands, comforting them, "Don't worry, I've made full preparations. Besides, I own the largest 'Star Moon Trading Company' in the East Sea, and there hasn't been a suitable person to look after it. I'm really worried about not having you two here!"

"Okay! We'll listen to Brother Yun Jing anyway, wherever you tell us to go, we'll go!"

Xing'er and Yue'er exchanged a glance, and a relieved smile appeared on their faces.

The three entered the house, and Yue'er and Xing'er served Li Yunjing tea and pastries.

Li Yunjing looked around the room. It was a little girl's boudoir, pure and lovely. Li Yunjing smiled. These two little girls were like children who had never grown up.

"Brother Yunjing, please try this. It's a really good tea that we bought at a high price. We've been waiting for you to drink it!"

The moon reminded me.

"Oh? Then I'll definitely try it!"

With a smile on his face, Li Yunjing picked up the teacup. A fragrant aroma wafted out. Lifting the lid, he saw pale green tea with tea leaves floating on it, like tiny, delicate, and sparkling beads.

"It smells so good!"

Li Yunjing couldn't help but exclaim in praise. He took a sip and felt a refreshing fragrance fill his mouth, making his tongue salivate.

This tea is actually a third-grade spiritual tea!
Xing'er and Yue'er prepared such spiritual tea for me; they really thought of me.

"Try the desserts we sisters made!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing was happy, Xing'er happily picked up a piece of soft cake and brought it to his mouth.

Li Yunjing glanced at the table. There were four kinds of pastries: rose pine nut candy, poria cocos soft cake, jade sweet cake, and cherry blossom shortbread. They were all exquisitely shaped, each pastry like a work of art, and it was too beautiful to eat.

"Mmm! It tastes great, you two are really good cooks! Make me more in the future, I'll carry it with me and eat some whenever I crave it!"

Li Yunjing praised.

"Okay! Let's make more!"

Li Yunjing's words made the two little girls beam with joy.

Xing'er poured Li Yunjing another cup of spiritual tea; Yue'er brought over another kind of exquisite pastry and invited Li Yunjing to taste it.

Li Yunjing sat at the table, enjoying this rare moment of warmth. Xing'er, Yue'er, and Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi were completely different.

The two women are gentle and considerate, and know how to take care of others. They are wholeheartedly devoted to Li Yunjing and seem to be dependent on him. Meanwhile, Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi and Li Yunjing love each other passionately, but they are all independent!

Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Li Yunjing have a purely Daoist relationship. They are equal and mutually supportive. Besides love, they also have a grand goal: to pursue immortality.

It can't be said that Xing'er and Yue'er were better to Li Yunjing than Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi; it's just that they gave Li Yunjing a different feeling.

He felt more relaxed with Xing'er and Yue'er. Being alone made no difference to him. He didn't need to pretend, be perfunctory, or flatter. He could do whatever he wanted.

"Brother Yun Jing, could you tell me about the shop you run?"

Xing'er asked softly.

"can!"

Li Yun nodded, his expression turning serious. He then recounted in detail to Xing'er and Yue'er the origin of "Shenxiao Island" and the unexpected popularity of "Xingyue Trading Company".

Among other things, he also talked about the status of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" in the East China Sea, his own status in the East China Sea, who his friends and allies were, and the matter of opening a second and third store.

The two women listened quietly to Li Yunjing's explanation for a full half hour before they finally understood the whole situation.

"Brother Yun Jing, have some tea!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing was no longer talking, Xing'er sensibly brought him some tea.

"Okay! Thank you, Xing'er!"

Li Yunjing felt a warmth in his heart. What a sensible little girl!
The thought of his good fortune in taking Xing'er and Yue'er into his life reminded him of an old friend.

I wonder how she's doing?

With all these years of talent, she should have reached the Foundation Establishment stage by now, right?

The cultivation world is too vast, and Li Yunjing had difficulty finding Liu Ruyan. He didn't even know if she was dead or alive. You have to understand that cultivators face many hardships on their journey, and they can die at any moment.

Liu Ruyan's combat strength is a bit low, and coupled with her devastatingly beautiful appearance, Li Yunjing is really worried that something might happen to her!

"Brother Yun Jing, do you want to use the power of the 'Star Moon Trading Company' to expand our sphere of influence in the East China Sea?"

At this moment, a knowing glint flashed in Yue'er's eyes, and with a single sentence, she brought Li Yunjing back to his senses.

"Yue'er is getting smarter and smarter!"

Li Yunjing smiled slightly and gave Yue'er an approving look: "Although the 'Star Moon Trading Company' is not large in scale, it has already established a firm foothold in the East Sea. If we can leverage the strength of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect,' the 'Flying Cloud Sect,' and the 'Holy Sound Sect,' we can become the largest trading company in the East Sea even faster! In the future, we will not lack cultivation resources, and we will have no worries even about resources for the Golden Core Realm!"

"We understand! We will definitely manage 'Star Moon Trading Company' well so that Brother Yun Jing will have no worries!"

After hearing Li Yunjing's ambition, Xing'er and Yue'er fully understood the significance of their trip to the East Sea.

"Yes! Mine are yours too!"

Li Yunjing grasped Xing'er and Yue'er's hands and said solemnly, "However, you must also be careful. After all, the East Sea is not like the Ming Dynasty. It's a melting pot of all sorts of people, and you could easily get into trouble if you're not careful. Also, I have a few mortal enemies. They can't beat me, so they might target the people around me. Once you're there, never leave 'Shenxiao Island.' No matter what temptations others use to lure you, you'd rather lose the opportunity than be tricked into leaving!"

"Hehe! Don't worry! We're not little kids anymore, we'll be careful!"

Xing'er and Yue'er said with a grin.

The two women felt a warm glow in their hearts. Li Yunjing genuinely cared for them from the bottom of his heart, which deeply moved them.

The three chatted for a while longer before Li Yunjing stood up and said, "Alright, I'm sleepy, let's rest!" "Huh? It's only daytime!"

Xing'er and Yue'er were taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what was going on. Their pretty faces turned red, but they still nodded obediently: "Let's go! This is our boudoir. Which room would you like to rest in?"

"Hehe! Every room is the same, but we all have to stay together!"

Li Yunjing smiled, picked up the two women, and amidst their gasps of surprise, entered the room of either the older or younger sister.

The room was decorated in a warm and elegant style, with a faint fragrance lingering in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Li Yunjing gently placed the two women on the bed, then lay down himself and held them in his arms.

"Brother Yun Jing, are you really going to rest with us?"

Xing'er asked in a low voice, her voice tinged with shyness.

Li Yunjing smiled and said softly, "Of course, we are family, so naturally we should stay together."

Upon hearing this, a sweet smile flashed in Yue'er's eyes, and she whispered, "Brother Yun Jing, you are so good to us."

Xing'er and Yue'er rested their heads against Li Yunjing's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and felt extremely at ease.

Outside the room, Li Yunjing had already placed a restriction. Unless someone's cultivation level was higher than his, even if there was a huge explosion inside, no sound would be heard outside.

After checking the two women's cultivation levels and instructing them on martial arts moves, the two women finally grew tired after a day and a night. Their voices were hoarse from shouting, and they stopped talking. They obediently closed their eyes, nestled in Li Yunjing's arms, and gradually drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Li Yunjing woke up early and saw that Xing'er and Yue'er were still fast asleep, so he got up quietly without disturbing them.

He stepped out of the room into the courtyard, took a deep breath of the fresh air, and felt refreshed.

After leaving a message for Xing'er and Yue'er, Li Yunjing arrived at "Xingyue Trading Company" to check on everyone's work. Before he even started, he saw Fang Yuxuan and several of his underlings already waiting for him.

"Young Master Li, you were looking for me!"

Fang Yuxuan smiled and bowed, while his other underlings were even more obsequious, bowing and shouting all sorts of things.

"Hehe! Alright, you may dispense with the formalities!"

Li Yunjing found it amusing and waved his hand, signaling them not to embarrass themselves.

Li Yunjing led everyone to a reception room, gestured for them to sit down, and then said, "I came to see you with a mission: to mentor you. You can go if you want, or not if you don't. Don't worry about my feelings."

"Young Master Li, you've really given us a lot of face by coming to us! We'd go through fire and water for you!"

Fang Yuxuan was displeased and immediately refuted Li Yunjing's words.

Young Master Li has spoken, so we have to go!
How can it be a matter of willingness or unwillingness?
When will it be everyone's turn to make a choice?
"Hehe! Yuxuan, don't scare them!"

Li Yunjing leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "Actually, the Shenxiao Temple in Yingtian Prefecture is short of manpower, so we're looking for you to fill in for a few years. As for your salaries, in addition to what the sect provides, I will personally give you some compensation, so it won't affect your cultivation."

"That's it?"

Fang Yuxuan was dumbfounded.

"What do you think it is? You still want to come with me to the East China Sea?"

Li Yunjing retorted irritably.

How could he not know that these people had asked Ma Xingyuan and his group?
Everyone present was a member of the "Purple Cloud Party," and Ma Xingyuan and his group would never conceal such a trivial matter from Fang Yuxuan.

"Young Master Li, I also want to go to the East China Sea!"

Fang Yuxuan said with a bitter face.

He knew about "Shenxiao Temple" by nature. It looked quite high-class, but it was located in the mortal realm and offered no benefits. What good was a little salary?

The "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is huge, with Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators everywhere. Just ask around!

Anyone with even a sliver of hope would want to do a mission in that godforsaken place.
These cultivators would rather choose a place with a higher risk factor than choose a place that is destined to offer no benefits!
"Yes!"

The others stood by, nodding frequently.

"Alright! Find me one Foundation Establishment cultivator and ten Qi Refining cultivators, and have them guard the Shenxiao Temple. Then I'll take you to the East Sea!"

Li Yunjing shook his head and chose a compromise.

"Hehe! Leave this to me!"

Fang Yuxuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately patted his chest and agreed.

He's Fang Long's nephew!

Fang Long is the local strongman of "Red Sun Valley" and a staunch supporter of Li Yunjing. There are at least four hundred, if not five hundred, cultivators of "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" in the valley!

Eleven people were selected to take turns going to "Yingtianfu" to enjoy a life of luxury, which was considered a kind of rest.

I imagine many people would be willing!
Fang Yuxuan believed that this task was not difficult at all!

"It's good that you have a solution!"

Li Yunjing nodded, then looked at Fang Yuxuan and asked, "How is your uncle? How has he been lately?"

"Hmm! My uncle has been in seclusion for several years! The aura outside his cave is getting stronger and stronger. I think my uncle should be breaking through to the Golden Core Realm soon!"

When his uncle was mentioned, Fang Yuxuan's expression turned solemn, and he spoke in a deep voice.

Fang Long is the pillar of the Fang family!
Absolutely nothing can happen!

As long as Fang Long breaks through to the Golden Core Realm, Fang Yuxuan will also benefit, and his status in the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" will be greatly enhanced!
"Ok!"

Li Yunjing nodded, then looked Fang Yuxuan up and down, frowning.

"Hmm? Young Master Li, what's wrong? Is something the problem?"

Fang Yuxuan felt uncomfortable under Li Yunjing's gaze and couldn't help but ask a question.

"What have you been doing all these years? You're still stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refining? When are you going to break through this barrier?"

Li Yunjing's expression was not good; his face was gloomy as he reprimanded him.

He lacks capable people under his command!
Fang Yuxuan was someone he had high hopes for, but he never expected that this kid would be so irresponsible, always acting like a spoiled brat, and his cultivation hadn't improved at all!
This greatly disappointed Li Yunjing!
"Forehead……"

Fang Yuxuan's face flushed red after being reprimanded by Li Yunjing for his cultivation level, and he tried to argue his way out of it!
I don't know where to begin!

If Li Yunjing hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have sensed anything!
Now, he really feels that something is wrong with him!
Especially during the years Fang Long was in seclusion, he was practically unsupervised. He spent his days chasing girls, eating, drinking, and having fun, hardly putting any energy into cultivation.

And his cronies didn't dare tell Fang Yuxuan about such things!

They were all used to following Fang Yuxuan's orders. Who would dare to persuade their boss?

"Sigh! It seems you've been letting yourself go without Deacon Fang Long's guidance these past few days! You're coming with me to the East Sea, and I'll keep an eye on you personally! If you can't break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm within a year, I'll sink you into the East Sea!"

Li Yunjing said fiercely.

These second-generation rich kids have no sense of crisis. If you don't scare them, they'll just ignore what you say!
"Yes, Young Master Li, I will definitely break through to the next level!"

Fang Yuxuan agreed with a bitter face.

He dared not disobey Li Yunjing's words!
He is not only a true disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", but also the leader of the "Zixiao Party", and at the same time, he is a peerless master who can defeat a Foundation Establishment Realm Ninth Heaven!
In Fang Yuxuan's opinion, if his uncle could not break through to the Golden Core Realm, he might not be able to defeat Li Yunjing!
Fang Yuxuan had no choice but to listen to such a powerful figure, whether he wanted to or not!

"Alright! Go ahead! Make sure you're well prepared and get things done, then I'll take you away!"

Li Yunjing waved his hand at the group of spoiled young men in front of him as if shooing away flies.

These guys are local bullies in "Red Sun Market". Apart from helping to look after "Star Moon Trading Company", they can hardly play a significant role.

In Li Yunjing's opinion, apart from Fang Yuxuan, no one else is as reliable as Yue Zhouwang and Wang Yun!
In the following days, Li Yunjing summoned Cong Rujin and Feng Xueting, who were far away in other places, back to "Chiri Market".

Li Yunjing was preparing to leave with the two proprietresses. This family business naturally needed someone to look after it, and Cong Rujin and Feng Xueting were the people he had to rely on.

Feng Xueting is controlled by Li Yunjing through a contract, so he's not worried about her turning against him. But Cong Rujin is a different story. If he doesn't come back for a long time and runs away with the shop's money, Li Yunjing will be devastated.

Nowadays, "Xingyue Trading Company" is no small shop; it has a lot of good stuff inside!

He would be heartbroken if he really suffered a loss!
