Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 547 The Wealth of Xingyue Trading Company (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Bah!"

Upon opening the box, a spirit pearl radiating a soft glow lay inside.

"This is a 'Moonlight Dewdrop' nurtured deep within the East Sea, which is of great benefit to breaking through realms. Consider it a congratulatory gift!"

Finally, Master Feiyun took out a "treasure pouch" and handed it to Li Yunjing, saying with a smile, "This is the demon core of a demon king that I casually killed while traveling the seas. It is also very beneficial to cultivation. I present it to Vice Sect Leader Li as a congratulatory gift!"

"Thank you very much, Master!"

Li Yunjing accepted the gifts one by one, and clasped his hands in thanks: "On the day of the wedding, I will definitely send out invitations to everyone to celebrate with us!"

"Please don't overthink this mobilization of manpower."

He glanced at everyone and then smiled, “Since the ‘Shenxiao Dao Sect’ has decided to protect the East Sea, it will never give up halfway.”

"Vice Sect Leader Li's words are very frank!"

Master Feiyun nodded repeatedly: "With your words, we can rest assured!"

He turned to Wen Bin and instructed, "Go to the storeroom and fetch ten more jars of 'Drunken Immortal Brew' to quench Vice Sect Leader Li's thirst on his journey! Also, Vice Sect Leader Li, you know that the East Sea is fraught with danger, and it is inconvenient for me to go to the mainland. So let Wen Bin represent my 'Flying Cloud Sect' at your wedding!"

"Easy to say! Easy to say!"

Li Yunjing nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "Wen Bin is my good friend. I am very happy that my good friend is attending my wedding!"

Unexpectedly, Li Yunjing never imagined that the "Flying Cloud Sect" would be so eager to give him gifts, and that he would actually make a fortune!
Shouldn't we do this good deed again in the "Holy Sound Church"?
After the banquet, Li Yunjing and his entourage from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" took their leave.

Master Feiyun personally escorted it to the door, watching the "Sky Patrol Ship" disappear into the sky, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"Go check the specific list of personnel transferred by the Shenxiao Dao Sect this time, and also... prepare the congratulatory gifts. Make sure it's done perfectly."

After the ship disappeared into the horizon, he turned to Wen Bin and said, "When Li Yunjing leaves, take some gifts and go with him!"

"I see!"

Wen Bin accepted the order and left, but secretly he was thinking: "This marriage may become an opportunity for the 'Flying Cloud Sect' and the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' to further strengthen their friendship."

Similarly, this is also an opportunity for him!
Wen Bin had long wanted to travel to the Southern Continent.

Now that we have the opportunity, and with a local strongman like Li Yunjing to protect us, our safety on the journey to the Southern Continent has greatly increased!
In addition, he can spend more time with Li Yunjing and strengthen their relationship, which will be of great benefit to his future development.

Meanwhile, Li Yunjing stood on the "Sky Patrol Ship," inspecting the gifts, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.

The "wedding" went even more smoothly than expected.

In almost an instant, the "Sky Patrol Ship" hovered above the "Star Moon Trading Company" like a giant whale, with the star patterns flowing on its hull reflecting the neon lights of the market below.

As for the market town, having received prior instructions from Master Feiyun, there was no alarm, and they tacitly agreed that the "Sky Patrol Ship" could float there.

At this moment, everyone in the market saw this enormous vessel, and they all looked up at the "Sky Patrol Ship" with expressions of awe.

Li Yunjing stood with his hands behind his back on the deck, looking at the familiar magnificent buildings, his smile deepening.

As the "Sky Patrol Ship" slowly descended to a height of thirty-three zhang, two graceful figures appeared, stepping on streams of light. They were Xing'er and Yue'er.

"Brother Li!"

Xing'er's eyes crinkled into crescents, and the star bell at her waist jingled. She was clearly very happy to see Li Yunjing.

Yue'er followed silently to the side, her eyes sparkling as she looked directly at Li Yunjing.

Jin Shouyun and his companions were very tactful. They bowed to Xing'er and Yue'er and then went to find their old friends at "Xingyue Trading Company Store No. 4".

Li Yunjing probably didn't have time to say anything to everyone, so he asked them to pass on the message.

Li Yunjing smiled and embraced the two women. They were already radiant with light as they entered the boudoir in the backyard.

Inside the boudoir, a warm fragrance lingered.

The unique fragrance of Xing'er and Yue'er reminded Li Yunjing of their past intimacy.

Xing'er gently removed Li Yunjing's clothes, pressing her fingertips on his shoulders, while Yue'er massaged Li Yunjing's legs to help him relieve his fatigue.

"Brother Li, how have you been all these years?"

Xing'er asked with a smile.

Li Yunjing lay half-reclined on the soft couch, feeling the gentle care of the two women, his heart filled with warmth.

He reached out and placed his hand on Xing'er's delicate thigh, gently stroking it: "These years I've traveled around and been safe, but I often think of you all and always feel like something is missing."

He turned to look at Yue'er and saw the worry hidden in her lowered eyes. He couldn't help but say softly, "Don't worry, I'm back now."

Yue'er nodded slightly, stopped what she was doing, took a cup of spiritual tea from the jade table beside her, and handed it to Li Yunjing's lips: "Brother Li, this is brewed with cloud and mist tea, which is unique to the East Sea. Please try it."

"The best tea is still the moon."

Li Yunjing took a small sip; the tea's aroma carried a hint of sweetness, lingering on his tongue.

"After Brother Li left, we followed your instructions and expanded the business of 'Star Moon Trading Company' in the East China Sea."

Xing'er sat down next to him, the star bell in her hair swaying gently and making a pleasant sound: "But the situation in the East Sea is becoming more and more tense, and the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' is expanding everywhere, which has also affected our business quite a bit."

Her tone carried a hint of helplessness, "A few days ago, a group of pirates targeted our cargo fleet. Thanks to the desperate resistance of the merchant guild's guards, they were not able to succeed."

"Is there such a thing?"

Li Yunjing's expression hardened, and he turned to look at Xing'er and Yue'er: "Who is behind these pirates?"

“We have investigated and found that these pirates have some connection with the ‘Tianluo Dao Sect.’ They want to cut off the resource trade of the resistance forces and blockade all parties by plundering merchant houses.”

Yue'er put down her teacup and said softly.

As she spoke, Yue'er took out a map and traced the locations marked on it with her fingertips. "However, we are not to be trifled with either. We have already set up ambushes on the waterways that are open to these seas. If any invaders come again, we will make sure they never return."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Looking at the two women's determined eyes, Li Yunjing felt gratified and reached out to hug them. "I came to the East Sea this time to deal with the Tianluo Dao Sect. With me here, I will not let you suffer any more grievances."

He lowered his head and gently kissed Xing'er's forehead, then looked at Yue'er, "Have you encountered any danger over the years?"

"There are dangers, of course, but we always manage to escape unscathed."

Yue'er leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "After Brother Li left, we didn't sit idle. We not only improved our cultivation, but also learned a lot of new skills."

She raised her hand and summoned a spell, which condensed into a dazzling light in the air. "Look, this is a secret technique we learned from ancient books in the East Sea. It's very effective for self-defense."

Xing'er was not to be outdone. With a light wave of her jade hand, the star bell at her waist flew out and transformed into a starlight in the air, swirling around the room: "I have also learned to control the star bell. Now they can not only emit sonic attacks, but also be used to track enemies."

The two women's techniques did not fully erupt, but Li Yunjing still felt their power; they were clearly top-tier second-tier spells.

It seems that the two of them really haven't been slacking off; they've been diligently cultivating and improving their strength.

Of course, such strength was almost insignificant in Li Yunjing's eyes.

At this level, he was already invincible.

No one in the same realm can rival him!

"Good, good! I'm relieved that you've made such good progress."

However, Li Yunjing still pretended to be happy, his eyes full of admiration: "After we resolve the matter in the East China Sea, I will take you back to the Southern Continent and let you see the wider world outside."

He held the two women tightly, and in the warm, fragrant boudoir, the three of them whispered about the things they had shared since they parted, as if they wanted to make up for all the time they had missed over the years.

Xing'er and Yue'er also learned the purpose of Li Yunjing's visit and the news that Li Yunjing was getting married.

Xing'er and Yue'er were fine; they already knew what Li Yunjing's private life was like, and they also knew how high Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi's status was.

Now, the two women are very satisfied with their current life.

Li Yunjing's affection for them was genuine, and the two women could sense it.

Three days later, Li Yunjing saw that the two women's cultivation levels had stabilized and couldn't help but smile.

When he has time, he is still very willing to use the "Yin Yang He Dao Jing" to help his women improve their cultivation.

With his help, Xing'er and Yue'er were able to cultivate faster, saving time and preparing for their future Core Formation.

After washing up, the three of them got down to business.

Yue'er took out a ledger and smiled with a rosy complexion: "The accounts of the trading company for the past twenty years are all here."

Li Yunjing leaned against the carved sandalwood couch, took the spiritual tea handed to him by Xing'er, and took a sip. The aroma of the tea was mixed with a faint sweet fragrance of osmanthus.

He raised an eyebrow at the ledger in Yue'er's hand: "Tell me, how much gold and silver has 'Star Moon Trading Company' made in the East Sea over the years?" Xing'er sat down next to him, the star bell in her hair jingling softly: "Since Brother Li left last time, we followed your method and set up three branches. Now, we have five shops in the East Sea, and from the spirit stone business alone, we can earn three million low-grade spirit stones every year!"

"Especially deep-sea black iron, its price has increased more than tenfold due to the war!"

Her eyes gleamed with pride. "Our 'Star Moon Trading Company' has a huge stockpile of Xuan Iron! Enough to sell for decades to come!"

"Excellent! You have a great business sense!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing's eyes lit up, and he nodded in approval repeatedly.

Such a keen sense of smell is more important than anything else.

In business, to succeed, you need this kind of keen sense of smell—to spot business opportunities before others do.

The fact that Xing'er and Yue'er were able to consider the factors of war greatly exceeded Li Yunjing's expectations.

“Lingzhitang has also benefited greatly.”

Yue'er opened the ledger, her slender fingers tracing the densely packed words: "We've leased spirit fields on many islands to cultivate 'Dragon's Saliva Orchids,' one of which can be exchanged for ten magical artifacts. However..."

Her expression turned slightly serious. "After the invasion of the Tianluo Dao Sect, some sea areas were blocked, and transportation costs skyrocketed. The profits from spiritual plants have shrunk by 20% in the past few years."

"It doesn't matter."

Li Yunjing rubbed his chin and chuckled, "'Tianluo Dao Sect' is about to attack, so we'll take the opportunity to raise prices. We'll mark up all those scarce spiritual materials and pills to exorbitant prices!"

A sly glint flashed in his eyes. "They're waging a war of attrition, and we'll profit from it."

"Brother Li really has a good idea!"

Xing'er clapped her hands and laughed, "By the way, we've also started a new business: providing intelligence to various sects."

She lowered her voice mysteriously, "Which family in the East Sea is short of spirit stones, and where a secret realm has been discovered? This kind of information is worth a lot of money!"

Yue'er took out an exquisite storage bag and poured out a pile of crystal-clear jade slips: "This is the intelligence we've gathered recently, including where the 'Tianluo Dao Sect' has attacked and the 'Holy Sound Sect's' secret transactions..."

She paused, her gaze falling on Li Yunjing, "It's just that the business is too big and attracts a lot of attention. Recently, some unknown forces have been causing trouble, trying to steal our goods."

"Don't worry! I'm here. The Flying Cloud Sect will protect you with utmost care!"

Li Yunjing shook his head slightly: "Dare to touch the 'Star Moon Merchant Guild'? That's to be an enemy of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'. If anyone dares to be so blind again, I'll just use the Thunderfire Cannon on the 'Sky Patrol Ship'!"

The last sentence, however, was a joke.

I'm just trying to make Xing'er and Yue'er happy!

He got up and walked to the window, watching the cultivators moving about in the market, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth, "The more chaotic the East Sea is, the more opportunities we will have."

"With Brother Li here, we have a pillar of support."

Xing'er nestled against his shoulder, pouting, "By the way, about the wedding you mentioned..."

Yue'er's ears turned red, and she secretly glanced at him, almost dropping the ledger in her hand.

Li Yunjing put his arms around the two women and laughed heartily: "Don't worry, once everything is settled, the three of us will have a wedding!"

Having received Li Yunjing's promise, Xing'er and Yue'er were even happier. Their radiant smiles were always on their faces, like blooming flowers, breathtakingly beautiful.

Morning light streamed into the boudoir through the carved window lattice. Li Yunjing personally tied brand-new gold-embroidered ribbons on Xing'er and Yue'er's wrists, and the three of them walked out of the room side by side.

As soon as I turned the corner of the corridor, I heard a familiar, hearty laugh.

Fang Yuxuan leaned against a pillar in the corridor, chatting nearby with the old manager of the trading company, several stewards, Jin Shouyun, Su Guo, and their group.

"Senior Brother Li, you've finally decided to show your face!"

Fang Yuxuan greeted him with a smile, his gaze sweeping over Li Yunjing's hands clasped with those of the two women, and teased, "It's been three days since I last saw you; you've certainly made others envious."

"You boy!"

Li Yunjing smiled and sized up Fang Yuxuan, this unruly young master. "Your uncle asked me to check your cultivation level. I didn't expect you to have actually improved. You're now at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Not bad."

"Hehe! Senior Brother Li, this is all thanks to your guidance!"

Fang Yuxuan asked with a grin, "My uncle is pretty good, isn't he?"

"Yes! I arranged a good position for him, and he's doing quite well!"

Li Yunjing nodded and looked at the people nearby, many of whom were the second generation of "Red Sun Valley" who followed Fang Yuxuan.

These people have all made great progress, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm one by one, so their trip to the East Sea was not in vain.

"I intend to travel to 'Sacred Sound Island' this time, and the business affairs of the company need to be rearranged."

He turned to Xing'er and Yue'er, "Why don't you two arrange for someone to take over the business in Donghai?"

"Okay! We'll arrange the handover in the next couple of days!"

Xing'er and Yue'er nodded in agreement, clearly indicating that they already had someone in mind.

After gathering with everyone, Li Yunjing told the people from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" to leave and follow him.

Three days later, Li Yunjing's "Purple Gold Gourd" was filled with storage boxes.

The spirit stones and materials amount to a fortune of three hundred million.

Li Yunjing took back such a large sum of money.

In the future, the "Star Moon Trading Company" in the East China Sea will have to reduce its scale and expenditures, focusing on profitability and ceasing further expansion.

Li Yunjing stood in the warehouse, followed by Jin Shouyun and others, while Xing'er and Yue'er carefully checked the merchant's ledgers.

After everything was settled, he called to everyone to board the "Sky Patrol Ship" and prepare to depart.

"Wait for me!"

Just then, a person flew in from afar and shouted from a distance.

Standing on the deck, Li Yunjing looked closely and realized it was his friend, Wen Bin!
"It's Brother Wen! Hurry up and come up, or I'll be gone!"

Li Yunjing joked, waving his hand and pointing, and a long rainbow shot from the bow of the ship toward Wen Bin, becoming a rainbow bridge.

Wen Bin stepped on the flowing light and landed on the rainbow bridge in the blink of an eye.

Sensing Wen Bin's arrival, the seven-colored rainbow immediately retracted into the "Sky Patrol Ship," carrying him aboard the deck.

"Brother Li... how heartless of you! You left without even taking me with you!"

Once aboard the ship, Wen Bin pretended to be panting heavily and said with great dissatisfaction.

"Brother Wen, why are you so flustered?"

Li Yunjing greeted him with a smile and patted him heavily on the shoulder: "Didn't I already say that we would leave 'Flying Cloud Island' once everything was arranged?"

As he spoke, Li Yunjing gestured to Jin Shouyun to arrange for people to come and greet Wen Bin.

"By the way, Master Feiyun heard that you were going to 'Sacred Sound Island', so he specially asked me to bring you a big gift."

Wen Bin wiped the sweat from his brow, waved his hand, and ten carved camphor wood chests appeared on the deck.

The golden runes wrapped around the box subtly flowed.

"Why are you being so polite?"

Li Yunjing pretended to be very dissatisfied, but still signaled Xing'er and Yue'er to put the things away.

The two walked side by side into the ship's reception room, where Xing'er served them two cups of cloud tea.

"By the way! Brother Li, it seems you're planning to empty out the 'Star Moon Trading Company'?"

Wen Bin had just witnessed dozens of people from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" being taken away, so he couldn't help but ask a probing question.

"The situation in the East China Sea is turbulent, so we should consolidate our resources first."

Li Yunjing took a sip of tea, the warm liquid flowing down his throat: "But you, instead of staying put on 'Flying Cloud Island,' what are you doing here joining in the fun?"

Having already done it, there was no way to hide it, so Li Yunjing openly confessed.

This calm gesture put Wen Bin at ease!
He was afraid that Li Yunjing would run away!
