Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 398 Beautiful women can deceive.
If outsiders knew how formidable Li Yunjing was, capable of single-handedly taking on a group of masters, they would probably be terrified.

Of course, most people just don't believe it!

After all, such a person is someone you've never even heard of, let alone seen.

"Crack!"

Li Yunjing pushed open the door and came out.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he found that there were already enough waiters on the first and second floors, and even some customers.

Currently, "Xingyue Trading Company Store No. 4" is in trial operation.

Li Yunjing also didn't plan to make a big fuss about it!
Without any Tier 3 materials or treasures, it could be considered an ordinary shop, somewhat low-class. Li Yunjing naturally wouldn't expose his shortcomings and make it known to everyone.

After all, the reputation of "Xingyue Trading Company Store No. 3" is well-known. If a fourth store is opened and people come in and find that it has nothing, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

After coming down from the third floor, Li Yunjing stood on the second floor and looked around. It was not bad; there were three or four transactions in progress.

"Senior Brother Li, you've emerged from seclusion?"

Li Linzi saw Li Yunjing and asked in surprise.

"I've come to check on your situation and will also provide you with some resources."

Li Yunjing summoned Li Linzi to the warehouse, and gave him one-third of the things he had refined.

"Great! With these things, we can turn the tide!"

Upon seeing so many treasures, Li Linzi's eyes widened, and he burst into laughter.

"Ok!"

Li Yunjing nodded and asked, "Give me all the first- and second-tier materials you've acquired in the past month!"

"Yes! I'll get it right away!"

Li Linzi immediately took out the various treasure pouches and handed them to Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing scanned the treasure pouch with his divine sense, frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's still too little. You must continue to work hard and acquire more first-tier, second-tier, and even third-tier materials!"

"Yes! Senior brother!"

Li Linzi nodded to indicate that she understood. "I have already arranged for people to walk around the square in the market to promote our 'Star Moon Trading Company's' acquisition of materials."

"Yes! Compared with established chambers of commerce, we are weak and can only rely on purchasing materials, refining them into finished products, and making a living by profiting from the price difference! This is a long-term business, and you can't let your guard down."

Li Yunjing was fairly satisfied with Li Linzi's arrangements. He then discussed some details about the operation of the trading company with Li Linzi, including the procurement of goods, pricing, and customer maintenance.

Previously, the level token that Li Yunjing obtained at "Jubaolou" was a good thing, as it could effectively maintain relationships with old customers.

With the points system in place, customers will be more inclined to use their own "Star Moon Shop" and will buy whatever they can from it.

"This membership system is great!"

Sure enough, after listening to Li Yunjing's advice, Li Linzi slapped his thigh and smiled.

"We will develop our membership system based on Jubaolou's membership system!"

During their conversation, Li Yunjing discovered that Li Linzi wasn't particularly stupid.

With my guidance, this person really did improve a lot.

He at least had a good business sense and management skills, and many of his ideas coincided with his own.

Li Linzi's progress made Li Yunjing feel much more at ease.

After Li Yunjing emerged from seclusion, the operation of "Xingyue Trading Company Store No. 4" officially began.

After operating for a week, Li Yunjing confirmed that there were no major problems and left with Liao Wanqing and Ma Xingyuan.

As for Wen Bin, he returned to his sect and went into seclusion to cultivate, never to emerge until he reached the Golden Core stage.

Li Linzi, on the other hand, stayed on to take charge of all matters related to "Xingyue Trading Company Store No. 4".

Before leaving, Li Yunjing took a stroll around the island and acquired some materials of various levels before releasing the "Azure Cloud Boat," and the three of them boarded the boat and left.

The territory of the "Holy Sound Sect" is a full 90,000 miles away from the territory of the "Flying Cloud Sect," located near the deep sea.

The situation there is also more complicated than on "Flying Cloud Island".

Near "Sacred Sound Island", the sea creatures are very powerful and are often active in the area.

Every hundred years, the sea creatures would launch a beast tide attack against the "Holy Sound Cult".

Each time, it caused the "Holy Sound Cult" immense suffering.

Of course, the repeated battles against sea monsters also yielded enormous rewards.

The cultivators of the "Holy Sound Sect" are very powerful, second only to the "Flying Cloud Sect," making them arguably the second strongest force in the East Sea.

Many families and sects also belong to the "Holy Sound Sect".

The biggest reason these forces are affiliated with the "Holy Sound Cult" is the beast tide.

Without the "Holy Sound Cult" organizing everyone to fight together, the surrounding forces would be a disorganized mess, utterly incapable of combat.

On the "Qingyun Boat," Li Yunjing and Ma Xingyuan listened to Liao Wanqing's introduction and gained a lot of knowledge about "Sacred Sound Island."

Ma Xingyuan was already looking like a lecherous lecher.

Ever since Liao Wanqing told him that there were countless beauties on "Holy Sound Island", he had been fantasizing and was planning to pick up a girl in "Holy Sound Sect" and become her Daoist partner.

Throughout the journey, Ma Xingyuan was immersed in his own fantasy, his mind filled with scenes of falling in love with the beautiful fairies after arriving at "Sacred Sound Island".

He would sometimes chuckle foolishly, sometimes talk to himself, as if he were already in a gentle embrace.

"With my status as a disciple of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect, I should be able to win over a beautiful fairy, right?"

Ma Xingyuan thought to himself, his mouth almost watering.

Fortunately, Li Yunjing and Liao Wanqing were having a pleasant conversation and ignored this third wheel.

Otherwise, Ma Xingyuan's ugly behavior would have been clearly seen by the two of them.

"Fairy Liao, do you think this beast tide is really that terrifying?"

Li Yunjing frowned slightly. If that was the case, "Star Moon Trading Company Store No. 5" seemed to be in great danger!

"Indeed, it's not simple!"

Liao Wanqing nodded slightly, her expression grave, and said, "Brother Li, each time this beast tide comes, it's like a tidal wave. The sea creatures are numerous and powerful; they are fearless and attack relentlessly. Although the 'Holy Sound Sect' is strong, it always struggles to cope with them."

"However, this beast tide isn't all bad. Each time they fight against a beast tide, the cultivators of the 'Holy Sound Sect' get valuable experience and their combat power grows stronger. Moreover, this has also established the 'Holy Sound Sect's' prestige among the many forces in the East Sea, attracting many forces to join them."

Liao Wanqing's beautiful eyes flickered as she continued, "The beast tide is both a challenge and an opportunity for the 'Holy Sound Sect'! And I can guarantee that 'Star Moon Trading Company Store No. 5' will not have any problems!"

"I have no doubt about that!"

Li Yunjing nodded, his voice steady and powerful: "I have 100% trust in the strength of the 'Holy Sound Sect'!"

After several days of flying with favorable winds, the "Qingyun Boat" finally arrived at "Shengyin Island".

From afar, "Sacred Sound Island" is magnificent, like a giant seashell floating on the sea. In the center of the island, it shines like a dazzling pearl.

Under Liao Wanqing's guidance, Li Yunjing and Ma Xingyuan learned that the brightly lit place was the headquarters of the "Holy Sound Sect".

The "Holy Sound Sect" cultivators patrolling the sea immediately stopped the "Azure Cloud Boat," but after seeing Liao Wanqing, they bowed and dispersed without questioning her further.

Li Yunjing put away the "Qingyun Boat" and flew to the island with Liao Wanqing and Ma Xingyuan.

The entire island is shrouded in mist, with majestic peaks and a variety of exotic flowers and plants, making it a veritable fairyland.

Liao Wanqing did not return to the sect first, but instead led the two to the market.

The prosperity here is in no way inferior to "Flying Cloud Island". In fact, because it is on the front line of the fight against the sea tribes, the trade of demons here is particularly developed.

Li Yunjing even saw several third-tier demon beast corpses being traded.

"Good heavens! The cultivators here are really fierce!"

Li Yunjing was astonished when he saw the corpses of these monsters.

Because two of the demon kings were not killed by Golden Core Realm experts, but by a group of Foundation Establishment Realm experts who surrounded and killed them!
What kind of sacrifice would it take to kill a third-tier demon king?
As for Ma Xingyuan, his eyes were wide open as he looked around, muttering, "Wow, this place is indeed very lively, and there must be a lot of beautiful women here too."

As he spoke, he eagerly pushed his way into the crowd, wanting to find the beautiful fairy in his heart.

"Damn it! Is Fatty in heat?"

Li Yunjing and Liao Wanqing shook their heads helplessly and had no choice but to follow behind him.

They followed the flow of people into a bustling street, where shouts and calls came from the shops on both sides.

"Come and see! These are peak-level second-tier spirit shrimp, freshly caught from the deep sea. They taste delicious and are brimming with spiritual energy!"

"A top-grade spiritual weapon, capable of cutting through iron like mud, will help you advance further on your path of cultivation!"

"Does anyone sell a Tier 3 healing elixir? I'll buy it at a high price!"

The sounds of various vendors hawking their wares rose and fell, making it difficult to keep up.

Looking from afar, Li Yunjing and Liao Wanqing suddenly noticed out of the corner of their eye that Ma Xingyuan was surrounded by several burly men with fierce expressions.

It turned out that Ma Xingyuan saw a pretty woman selling jewelry at a stall and went up to chat with her, but his words were inappropriate and aroused the woman's dissatisfaction.

Upon seeing this, the woman's companions immediately surrounded her, intending to teach Ma Xingyuan a lesson.

"What do you want to do?"

Liao Wanqing stepped forward and looked coldly at the group of burly men.

She exuded a powerful aura, causing the burly men to involuntarily take a few steps back.

"Who are you? Mind your own business!"

"It was a burly man who was leading the group, but he sounded fierce but was actually quite weak," he said.

“He is a friend of my ‘Holy Sound Cult,’ so I’m going to meddle in this matter.”

Liao Wanqing took out her identity token and flashed it in front of everyone, causing everyone to gasp.

This is actually the identity token of a true disciple of the "Holy Sound Sect"!

On "Holy Sound Island," the "Holy Sound Cult" was the ultimate authority. The burly men immediately cowered and obediently retreated to the side, not daring to utter a single harsh word.

Li Yunjing glared at Ma Xingyuan and said, "Let's go! Don't cause any more trouble for Fairy Liao!"

"Thank you very much, Fairy Liao, otherwise I would have been in big trouble today."

Ma Xingyuan said with lingering fear.

"Can't you just be honest for once?"

Liao Wanqing rolled her eyes at him and said.

After spending more than two months together, Liao Wanqing had gotten to know the fat man and what kind of person he was, so she naturally didn't hold back.

"I just got excited when I saw a pretty girl!"

Ma Xingyuan scratched his head sheepishly.

"you……"

Li Yunjing looked at the fat man and shook his head helplessly. He wanted to scold him, but when he thought about how he already had five women while the fat man was still all alone, he stopped and didn't scold him anymore.

"Let's go! If you want to come with me to see the shop, I've already made all the preparations!"

Liao Wanqing held a high position in the "Holy Sound Sect," and she arranged shops much faster than Wen Bin.

Moreover, the shop provided by Liao Wanqing was in a prime location, with five floors and a huge courtyard at the back, surrounded by stunning scenery.

Li Yunjing and Fatty were both very satisfied with their stay here.

Of course, the rent here is also more expensive than "Star Moon Trading Company Store No. 4", costing 500,000 low-grade spirit stones a year.

Such a high price is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.

After Li Yunjing took out this sum of spirit stones, the spirit stones in his hand became chipped again.

Li Yunjing handed over all the tasks here to Ma Xingyuan. He had already accumulated a lot of experience and was very familiar with doing this kind of thing.

Li Yunjing originally wanted to help, but Liao Wanqing held him back.

At this moment, Liao Wanqing finally found an opportunity to be alone with Li Yunjing, so naturally she couldn't let this prodigy get away.

The back courtyard of "Xingyue Trading Company Store No. 5" has almost become his and Liao Wanqing's private place.

Ma Xingyuan was very sensible and stopped showing up in the backyard.

Even someone as dense as him could see that Liao Wanqing was planning to seduce Li Yunjing.

Moreover, in order to get rid of him, this woman sent seven or eight beautiful junior sisters from the "Holy Sound Sect" to work at the "Star Moon Trading Company".

This made the fat man so happy that he forgot all about Li Yunjing.

The women of the "Holy Sound Sect" were all beautiful and charming, and they were also proficient in musical instruments, dance, music, calligraphy, painting and chess. Ma Xingyuan had never seen such a scene before.
If he hadn't remembered the important business of "Star Moon Trading Company Store No. 5", he would have gone too far and done nothing but play around with these girls every day.

Of course, the women of the "Holy Sound Sect" are not so easy to seduce. Ma Xingyuan has been itching to be seduced lately, but he hasn't gained any advantage.

This caused the fat man considerable distress.

"Brother Li!"

Liao Wanqing sat in the courtyard, playing a tune on her zither, and said with a smile, "How about this piece, 'Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies'?"

"What a beautiful piece!"

Inside the pavilion, Li Yunjing smiled faintly, leaned against a stone pillar, and said gently, "Fairy Liao's performance is a hundred times better than the original!"

"Hehe! I'm glad you like it, Brother Li!"

Liao Wanqing, her eyes alluring, stood up, walked to Li Yunjing's side, picked up a wine glass, brought it to Li Yunjing's lips, and said with a smile, "Try what this wine tastes like."

"Ok?"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow. If he remembered correctly, this wine glass should belong to Liao Wanqing, right?
"Wouldn't you like to try some?"

Liao Wanqing practically clung to Li Yunjing. Beneath the light veil, her delicate body was like a furnace, and Li Yunjing could feel a flame burning fiercely within her heart.

"Then I'll savor the taste of a beauty."

"A woman offered to you is no excuse to turn down a free lunch," Li Yunjing chuckled, opened his mouth, and tasted the wine in Liao Wanqing's glass.

"Hehe! Brother Li, with a peerless hero like you, what woman in the world wouldn't secretly admire you!"

Liao Wanqing murmured softly, her breathing seemingly a little disordered. After hesitating for a moment, she leaned against Li Yunjing.

Their body temperatures mingled, and Li Yunjing naturally embraced Liao Wanqing's delicate body, stroking her soft, flowing hair.

Liao Wanqing had a graceful figure, and her long, slender legs, like two snakes, wrapped around Li Yunjing's body, fully displaying her rounded curves.

"Won't you regret it?"

Li Yunjing played with the woman's hair and asked softly.

"Hmm... I don't regret it!"

Liao Wanqing's face flushed red. She had made her decision, but as a virgin, she was still a little nervous at the last minute.

"Well!"

Li Yunjing smiled and said softly, "Then would you rather be my woman, Li Yunjing's woman? Or would you rather have a one-night stand and be even?"

"Humph!"

Hearing Li Yunjing's words, Liao Wanqing couldn't help but snort and glare at him. This guy was really too heartless.

To talk to yourself about public versus private matters at a time like this is truly disappointing!
"Hehe! I never lie to my woman! I will respect your choices. If you want something from me, you have to give something in return!"

Li Yunjing remained unmoved. Even though Liao Wanqing was a stunning beauty who was willing to throw herself into his arms, he was unwilling to use deception to obtain her body.

Of course, Li Yunjing wouldn't allow this woman to use her body to seduce him, hoping to harm his interests and enrich Liao Wanqing!

"Ugh……"

Liao Wanqing frowned slightly, sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "My sect is very important to me. One day, you won't make a move against the 'Holy Sound Sect,' will you?"

The sigh, accompanied by a faint, delicate fragrance, like orchids and deer, wafted into Li Yunjing's nostrils, an allure that stirred his heart even more.

Even so, Li Yunjing still said, "I don't know! I personally have no other thoughts about the 'Holy Sound Sect'! I think that as long as the 'Holy Sound Sect' doesn't rebel against the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect', the sect won't do anything to the 'Holy Sound Sect'!"

Even when you're about to go to bed, are you still this calm?

Liao Wanqing couldn't help but glance at Li Yunjing. His jade-like face was tinged with a faint sadness, and his eyes were misty with tears, making him appear tragically beautiful. It was truly a sight to behold, and one couldn't help but want to hold him in their arms and comfort him.

"Forehead……"

Hearing Liao Wanqing's words and seeing her pitiful expression, Li Yunjing couldn't help but roll his eyes. He laughed and said, "Fairy Liao, stop acting!"

Li Yunjing was certain that, based on his experience, not a single word of this woman's expression or words could be taken seriously.

"Giggle!"

Sure enough, Liao Wanqing chuckled, her jade-like hand gently covering her mouth and nose as she laughed heartily, seemingly very happy.

"Sigh! Women always love to lie!"

Li Yunjing shook his head, feeling utterly helpless.
