Chapter 396 Shop Rent
Faced with such a wonderful thing, even the peregrine falcons, who disliked going into the water, followed Li Yunjing into the seabed.

"Chucky!"

Li Yunjing drew his sword repeatedly, cutting off chunks of flesh from the wounds.

He tossed all the meat to the peregrine falcon, which cried out happily and then swallowed the chunks of meat in large gulps.

The flesh and blood of a third-tier high-level demon beast is a great tonic for the peregrine falcon, which is very beneficial to its evolution. The only worry for this little thing is that it can't eat many pieces!
"Great stuff! I'll cut up more meat. Next time I'll make crispy fried pork, stir-fried Demon King, and braised Demon King..."

Ma Xingyuan took out a kitchen knife and carefully cut the meat into pieces, muttering excitedly to himself as he did so.

Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing were not idle either. They disregarded their dignity and quickly took flesh and blood from Zhang Qianwang's body.

As for the Demon King's bones?
This thing is way too big!

Li Yunjing and his team couldn't find any bones in the short term!

"What should we do? It's too big! We can't possibly divide it all!"

Liao Wanqing frowned and said helplessly.

"Yes! If we stay in the sea, the strong smell of blood will probably attract the attention of other demon kings and countless demon beasts. We might not be able to hold out!"

Wen Bin was the same, complaining as he cut up the monster's flesh.

"Oh shit!"

Li Yunjing cursed. This monster was too big, comparable to an island. He, Wen Bin, and Liao Wanqing did not have the supernatural power to move mountains and overturn seas.

They simply didn't have the power to move that monster out of the sea!

"Wen Bin! Send a message to your sect! Tell them to come over and divide the demon beast among themselves! However, I want the demon king's core; the rest can be divided among everyone!"

After thinking it over, Li Yunjing realized there was no other way and could only say this.

"Okay! I understand!"

Wen Bin nodded. As for the demon core that Li Yunjing mentioned, it should have belonged to Li Yunjing in the first place. After all, he contributed ninety percent of his strength to killing Zhang Qianwang!

Wen Bin didn't dare to delay for a moment. He quickly took out a communication talisman from his pocket and accurately transmitted their situation and location.

Ma Xingyuan and Li Linzi overheard the conversation between Li Yunjing, Wen Bin, and others, and knew that time was running out.

The two of them were destitute, so naturally they were very interested in the flesh and blood of this third-tier demon king.

The two of them went mad, mechanically cutting and stuffing pieces of meat into their treasure pouches. Even the flowing blood was collected one by one in jade bottles.

Li Yunjing, Liao Wanqing, and Wen Bin, on the other hand, were much more refined. They did not have a strong need for the Demon King's corpse; a little was enough for them.

Li Yunjing, aside from tasting much of the flesh and blood himself, mostly saved it for the peregrine falcon to feed his little yellow dog.

With this flesh and blood, Little Yellow's evolution will probably be much faster.

"Little Huang, eat slowly, don't stuff yourself!"

Li Yunjing relaxed and looked at the peregrine falcon eating happily to the side, and couldn't help but remind it.

To his surprise, the little guy completely ignored him and continued eating. The flesh and blood of a third-tier high-level demon king beast was a rare delicacy for it.

Half an hour later, the people from the Flying Cloud Sect finally arrived.

A buzzing sound came from the sea, and a group of black dots flew rapidly toward them.

As the black dot drew closer, Li Yunjing and the others finally saw clearly that it was a group of cultivators from the "Flying Cloud Sect" flying on swords. The leader was a middle-aged man in a blue robe with sharp eyes like an eagle and a powerful aura emanating from him. He was clearly a Golden Core Realm expert.

"Great, it's finally here."

Wen Bin breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

The group quickly reached the seabed. The middle-aged man at the head of the group saw Wen Bin and immediately showed concern: "Wen Bin, are you alright? We've finally found you!"

Wen Bin quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Uncle Liu, I'm fine. It's all thanks to Brother Li's help that we were able to kill this King Zhangqian."

As he spoke, he pointed to Li Yunjing standing to the side.

Uncle Liu sized up Li Yunjing, a hint of surprise in his eyes: "This must be young brother Li Yunjing, right? Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! To be able to kill a high-level third-tier demon beast, this strength is not to be underestimated."

At this point, the Golden Core Realm expert looked at Li Yunjing with deep apprehension.

Li Yunjing quickly and modestly replied, "Senior Liu, you flatter me. It was only by chance that I managed to kill this monster."

The newly arrived members of the "Flying Cloud Sect" all turned their gazes to the enormous Zhang Qian King, and were momentarily stunned by the sight before them.

This monster was enormous; lying on the seabed, it resembled a small mountain, exuding a strong stench of blood, and the surrounding seawater was stained dark red.

"This...this is the King Octopus? It's so huge!"

"Yes, this is the first time I've ever seen such a huge monster. It's truly an eye-opener."

"Even the King of Giant Whales isn't this big, is it?"

"What nonsense! The Whale King is definitely bigger than this!"

……

The cultivators of the Flying Cloud Sect were all amazed, their faces filled with shock.

Li Yunjing cleared his throat and said, "Senior Liu, we killed this Zhangqian King together. Brother Wen and I had already agreed that I would take the demon core of this demon king, and the rest would be divided between your sect and us. What do you think, Senior?"

"Okay! No problem!"

Uncle Liu readily agreed, "Li Yunjing, this monster is so huge, it's full of treasures. We're really benefiting from your success."

"Hahaha! We're all on the same side! Wen Bin and I are very close friends, Senior Liu, you don't need to be so polite!"

Li Yunjing's voice was firm and powerful, full of sincerity.

"Okay! Then I'm welcome!"

Uncle Liu nodded happily, then turned to his disciples and ordered, "What are you all standing around for! Quickly divide the demon beasts! Otherwise, if this goes on for too long, the stench of blood will spread and attract even more demon beasts, and then we'll be in big trouble!"

"Yes!"

The disciples of the Flying Cloud Sect received orders and possessed the body of the King of the Pliers, skillfully cutting up the monster's flesh.

These are all local forces from the East China Sea, and they are experienced in dealing with sea monsters. With the help of these hundreds of people, the speed has increased hundreds of times!
In particular, this Uncle Liu, with his Golden Core cultivation, continuously urged his flying sword to cut through the King of the Pliers, dividing it into large chunks of flesh and blood resembling mountains.

This cutting method, with its favorable entry point, greatly aided the disciples' cutting skills.

"Gudu! Gudu!"

Just as the people of the "Flying Cloud Sect" were working enthusiastically, the surrounding seawater began to churn violently, and dark shadows darted through the water, rapidly approaching them.

"Oh no! The horde of monsters has been attracted here!"

Li Yunjing and the others were startled and quickly turned to look, only to see groups of demonic beasts closing in from all directions.

These monsters range from first to second rank, and their numbers are enormous. They stretch as far as the eye can see, seemingly endless, making it impossible to discern their exact number.

"You continue! Li Yunjing! Wen Bin, Liao Wanqing! You all come with me to protect the four directions and resist the onslaught of the demonic beasts!"

Seeing that there were no powerful beings among the demonic beasts, Uncle Liu immediately gave an order.

"Yes!"

Li Yunjing, Wen Bin, and Liao Wanqing accepted the order without hesitation; no one objected to the command of this Golden Core Realm expert.

A snake cannot function without a head. In such cases, someone must give orders, even if those orders don't seem perfect.

"Boom!"

The four masters stood in four directions and attacked one after another, stirring up the sea into turbulent waves, and hordes of demonic beasts were pulverized.

The demonic beasts were of a low level, so Li Yunjing and his companions had an easy time. They didn't need to use powerful divine abilities to bombard them; they could easily kill groups of demonic beasts with just ordinary spells.

Li Yunjing and his group of four were so ferocious that the first-tier demonic beasts continued their fearless charge, while some second-tier demonic beasts stopped, joined forces, and ordered the demonic beast horde to begin their attack.

Some monsters spewed water balls, while others released ice spikes. The various spells intertwined, truly plunging Li Yunjing and his companions into a fierce battle.

Some attacks were impossible for Li Yunjing and his companions to completely stop, even with their abilities. Not long ago, a cultivator from the "Flying Cloud Sect" was accidentally hit by an ice arrow from a demonic beast, and instantly fell down with a scream, a bloody hole appearing in his chest.

"Junior brother!"

Upon seeing this, the cultivators nearby cried out in alarm and tried to rush over to help, only to find that their fellow disciples were already dead.

"Don't panic, everyone! Defend while continuing to cut down the Demon King!" Uncle Liu shouted loudly. The magic weapon in his hand shone brightly, releasing a powerful wave of magic power that swept across the area, turning many demonic beasts into blood mist once again.

"Sigh... there are too many monsters in the sea!"

Looking at the scene around him, Li Yunjing was numb from killing.

The surrounding monsters showed no signs of decreasing.

How many are there here?
million?

millions?
Or tens of millions?
Li Yunjing couldn't count them all. There was no other way. His figure moved like a ghost, quickly traversing the seawater. He had already switched to the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner" in his hand.

With a sweep of the "Ten Thousand Poison Banner," poisonous gas was released. In a short while, the monsters around him turned belly up and slowly rotted away.

Finally, even the mindless monsters couldn't withstand the horrific scene of the massacre.

Gradually, some second-tier intelligent monsters scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing this dangerous place.

With the second-tier demonic beasts retreating, the first-tier demonic beasts lost their leader and fell into chaos.

"Phew, it's finally over!"

Li Yunjing wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Yes, it's all thanks to everyone working together, otherwise we might not have been able to defeat these monsters."

Uncle Liu also remarked with emotion.

Even a Golden Core cultivator would find it quite difficult to kill so many demonic beasts!

At this moment, Wen Bin came to Li Yunjing's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Li, thank you so much just now. If it weren't for you, we would have been in danger this time."

"What are you talking about!"

Li Yunjing smiled and said, "We're all on the same side, so naturally we should face danger together."

Uncle Liu looked at Li Yunjing with admiration in his eyes: "Li Yunjing, your skills are already comparable to those of a Golden Core cultivator. I'm afraid even those at the second level of the Golden Core realm can't do anything to you!"

"Senior Liu, you flatter me. My skills are not worthy of such praise!"

Li Yunjing chuckled lightly. He still needed to be humble. In front of outsiders, he didn't want to be seen as someone who could deal with a second-level Golden Core cultivator.

Otherwise, there will likely be even more trouble to deal with in the future.

After scattering the demonic beast, the cultivators of the "Flying Cloud Sect" continued to cut the King of the Claws into many small pieces, and then used a specially made storage magic item to store these pieces of meat and other precious materials.

Li Yunjing carefully took out the demon core of Zhang Qianwang and put it into a jade box for safekeeping.

The demon core of a third-tier high-level demon beast has a great effect.

For cultivators, the benefits outweigh everything else.

This demon core is no exception for Li Yunjing. Perhaps he can use this millstone-sized demon core to refine batches of pills.

After three days of dealing with everything, Li Yunjing, Liao Wanqing, and the others set off with the people of the "Flying Cloud Sect" to return to the "Flying Cloud Island" of the "Flying Cloud Sect".

At this moment, the peregrine falcon, Little Yellow, was as round and chubby as a small ball, lying motionless on Li Yunjing's shoulder.

This little thing ate meal after meal over three days, and before it had even finished digesting its food, it stuffed its stomach with many more chunks of meat.

Ma Xingyuan and Li Linzi were all smiles. If they sold the monster meat they had collected, they could definitely get back tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones.

Li Yunjing and his group were happy, and the people of the "Flying Cloud Sect" were even happier.

When Uncle Liu and the others brought Zhang Qianwang's body back to the "Flying Cloud Sect", it caused a huge sensation.

The entire sect erupted in celebration after acquiring a high-level third-tier demonic beast for free.

This is no ordinary third-tier demonic beast!

This is a monster as huge as a small island!
King Zhangqian has so many good things about him.

These precious materials and flesh can not only be used to refine magical artifacts and elixirs, but also help disciples improve their cultivation.

Upon arriving at "Flying Cloud Island," Wen Bin naturally provided full hospitality. First, they visited the enormous island, comparable to a province, and then went to "Flying Cloud Sect" to pay their respects to the sect's seniors.

Li Yunjing finally had some free time and prepared to go to the market.

The market town of the "Flying Cloud Sect" is located in a valley. The environment here is very beautiful and lush. The valley is protected by magic on three sides, and there is only one path leading into the valley, which can be freely entered and exited.

The spiritual energy on the island of the "Flying Cloud Sect" is extremely rich, and there is a fourth-order spiritual vein.

Li Yunjing, Liao Wanqing, Wen Bin, Ma Xingyuan, and Li Linzi entered the valley, admiring the scenery while observing its layout.

In the center of the valley lies the market town.

The market is divided into two blocks, one on the left and one on the right. The left block mainly houses shops belonging to the "Flying Cloud Sect" and some large merchant guilds, while the right block contains stalls from smaller merchant guilds and individual vendors.

At this moment, led by Wen Bin, Li Yunjing and his group entered a pavilion and tower, waiting for the market administrators to arrive.

The management office of this market town is quite different from other management offices I've seen. It has less of a commercial atmosphere and more of a carefree, immortal atmosphere.

Li Yunjing and the others hadn't been sitting for long when a woman in white walked in.

"Uncle!"

Wen Bin quickly stood up, bowed, and whispered a greeting.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing and the others dared not be negligent. They stood up, greeted each other as "Senior," and bowed respectfully.

"Hmm! Wen Bin, you're back! Judging from your appearance, you're ready to attempt Core Formation! Now that you're back, go into seclusion!"

The woman in white glanced at everyone, then looked at Wen Bin and gave him instructions.

"Yes! Disciple understands!"

Wen Bin responded and bowed.

This is the second-best expert of the "Flying Cloud Sect," a powerful figure second only to Flying Cloud True Person, a master at the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm.

Like the Two Immortals of the Azure Waves, he is a famous figure in the East Sea and has the potential to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

"This is Li Yunjing, a young talent from the Shenxiao Dao Sect."

The woman in white smiled at Li Yunjing and said, "Wen Bin told us about your plan to open a trading company on 'Flying Cloud Island,' and our 'Flying Cloud Sect' naturally welcomes it."

"The Star Moon Trading Company is established on Flying Cloud Island. We hope that you, senior and friends from the Flying Cloud Sect, will take care of us in the future."

Li Yunjing responded with a smile.

"I know your standards are high!"

The woman in white hesitated for a moment before saying, "However, all the shops in good locations on the island are already taken, so I cannot provide you with the best location at the moment."

"It doesn't matter!"

Li Yunjing said dismissively, "These are all minor matters! I think even if the location is a bit less desirable, with the capabilities of 'Star Moon Trading Company,' we can still find a foothold."

Li Yunjing wasn't just being stubborn about this!
With resources from the mainland, Li Yunjing's craftsmanship, and the personal provision of top-tier treasures, there's no reason why "Star Moon Trading Company" couldn't survive.

"it is good!"

The woman in white nodded and asked without hesitation, "Then, on the left side of the street, the third shop from the bottom has three floors, a total area of ​​three thousand square meters, which is more than enough for you."

"Alright! Senior, how much rent do I need to pay?"

Li Yunjing was secretly delighted, but asked the question without showing any emotion.

"You can pay a little less for the year's rent, how about 100,000?"

The woman in white chuckled softly and asked again, "Is there a problem?"

"No problem! I should thank you, senior; I've actually gotten a good deal."

What else could Li Yunjing say? He could only nod and agree.

It should be noted that the market town of "Flying Cloud Island" is no ordinary place. It is a fourth-order spiritual island with abundant spiritual energy. Almost no one who comes to the island is below the sixth level of Qi Refining.

The quality of customers here is extremely high; in fact, the majority are Foundation Establishment cultivators!
On an island like this, if someone else came to rent a shop, the annual rent would be 300,000, which would be considered a bargain.

The bigwigs of the "Flying Cloud Sect" symbolically accepted 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. What more could Li Yunjing possibly want?
