Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 643 Dividing the Wang Family Property, the City Lord Invites You (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Li Yunjing! You'll die a horrible death!"

Wang Tianba's eyes were bloodshot.

Li Yunjing looked down at everything coldly: "I gave you a chance."

Nine golden dragons raged across the sky above the Wang family's residence, turning all the pavilions and towers in their path into dust.

The Wang family members fled in panic, but could not escape the pursuit of the golden dragon.

"Li Yunjing! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

Wang Tianba's eyes were bloodshot, and his spiritual power was surging wildly. He was about to self-destruct his nascent soul!

"wanna die?"

Li Yunjing snorted coldly and pressed down with his hand.

The lightning patterns on the array plate suddenly lit up, and a bolt of purple lightning instantly pierced through Wang Tianba's dantian, pinning his nascent soul to the spot!

"what……"

Wang Tianba let out a shrill scream and collapsed to the ground like a limp rag.

At this time, the Sun family patriarch and the Qian family patriarch had led their men to the core area of ​​the Wang family. The entire small town, which covered dozens of miles, was engulfed in flames and smoke.

Meanwhile, the Sun family patriarch and the Qian family patriarch, worried about Li Yunjing's safety, rushed into the ancestral hall first.

Upon seeing Wang Tianba beaten half to death, both of them involuntarily stopped in their tracks.

"Fellow Daoist Li's methods are indeed extraordinary."

The patriarch of the Sun family cupped his hands and laughed, "The Wang family brought about its own destruction, so they really have no one to blame but themselves."

"Exactly."

The Qian family patriarch quickly echoed, "Wang Tianba harbored evil intentions; he deserved this fate."

"You two have come at the perfect time."

Li Yunjing looked at the two with a half-smile: "As agreed, the Wang family's assets..."

"Of course, we'll divide it according to the agreement!"

The Sun family patriarch quickly replied, "My Sun family only needs the three spiritual veins from the Wang family."

"My Qian family wants Wangjiafang Market in the west of the city."

The Qian family patriarch also quickly expressed his opinion.

"can!"

Li Yunjing nodded, then suddenly changed the subject: "However, I'm not a local and won't take over the Wang family's territory. Could your two families acquire the Wang family's assets at an 80% discount in the form of spirit stones or rare treasures?"

"No problem!"

The Sun family patriarch's expression changed drastically, revealing a look of surprise and delight.

The 20% discount is such a great deal!
Besides, this is a renewable asset!
Who knows how much benefit this will bring to the Sun family in the future!
This cannot be measured by mere spirit stones!

"My Qian family can too!"

The Qian family patriarch hurriedly said, "My Qian family is the least short of money!"

"No need to say more."

Li Yunjing interrupted him, "You split it equally. If the Sun family can't afford it, then your Qian family will buy up the remaining assets, how about that?"

The Sun family patriarch and the Qian family patriarch exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with shrewd calculation.

The two men bowed almost simultaneously and said in unison, "We leave it all to Fellow Daoist Li!"

As for the Sun family patriarch, whose financial resources were clearly inferior, he was already planning how to borrow money to acquire the Wang family's assets.

He wasn't willing to let the Qian family profit from this highly profitable business for nothing!
Li Yunjing smiled slightly, flicked his fingertips, and a golden light transformed into a contract document in the air.

He flicked his finger, and the document split in two, each floating toward the two men: "In that case, let us establish a contract of faith."

The Sun family patriarch couldn't wait any longer and bit his fingertip, letting a drop of blood fall onto the document: "My Sun family is willing to offer three million high-grade spirit stones, plus ten ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, in exchange for half of the Wang family's fixed assets!"

"My Qian family offers five million high-grade spirit stones!"

Not to be outdone, the Qian family patriarch quickly pressed his bloody seal onto the document, declaring, "The West City Market, along with the surrounding thirty shops, including the Wang family's land, my Qian family will take it all!"

"Alright! It's settled then! We're all important people, no need to haggle over every little thing. Everything will be accounted for, right?"

With a flick of his sleeve, Li Yunjing caused the two contracts to merge in mid-air, transforming into golden light that entered the three people's foreheads.

"no problem!"

The patriarch of the Sun family was the first to nod in agreement.

"I agree too!"

The Qian family patriarch also chimed in.

This is in their favor!
Everyone's bids were based on what was publicly available.

But without asking further, it's certain that the Wang family has some small, hidden treasure troves, and even some resources on the Wang family disciples themselves—all of which are additional benefits.

Li Yunjing didn't care, so everyone was naturally satisfied.

According to Li Yunjing's calculations, they acquired all the assets of a Nascent Soul Realm True Person family for only 60% of the Wang family's total price!
After finishing their business, Li Yunjing turned to look at Wang Tianba, who was slumped on the ground, and sneered, "Fellow Daoist Wang, did you hear everything clearly?"

"You...you will all die a horrible death!"

Wang Tianba's face was ashen, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth: "My Wang family still has influence in the 'Tai Xu Sword Sect'..."

The Sun family patriarch and the Qian family patriarch glanced coldly at their former best friends, without saying a word.

Compared to a fourth-order spiritual vein, several third-order and second-order spiritual veins, dozens of miles of spiritual fields, the Wang family's ancestral land, and all sorts of rare and precious materials, that little bit of friendship is not worth mentioning.

"Noisy."

Li Yunjing flicked his finger, and a sword aura directly sealed Wang Tianba's speech acupoint.

He turned to the two elders and said, "I'll leave the rest to you two. Remember, I need to see all the spirit stones within three days."

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Li!"

The Qian family patriarch patted his chest and guaranteed, then turned and shouted to the clansmen behind him, "Immediately mobilize all the clan's liquid funds! Go to the money exchange and withdraw another two million!"

"Immediately sell the three magical treasures in the warehouse!"

The Sun family patriarch was even more ruthless, directly pulling out a communication jade slip: "Go and harvest all the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the herb garden!"

Li Yunjing stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the nine golden dragons still raging in the distance, a profound look flashing in his eyes.

With a thought, the nine dragons instantly transformed into streams of light and flew back to the array plate.

Only wisps of smoke remained above the ruins of the Wang family estate.

"correct."

He suddenly turned around, looking at the two elders with a half-smile: "The Wang family's library..."

"Naturally, it will be divided equally among the three families!"

The Sun family patriarch reacted swiftly, "I'll send someone to break the barrier right away!"

The Qian family patriarch cursed under his breath, calling the old fox, and quickly added, "My Qian family is skilled in formations, so we'll go help Fellow Daoist Li inventory the books right away!"

Li Yunjing nodded in satisfaction and turned to walk deeper into the Wang family compound.

In the distance, the cultivators from the Sun and Qian families had already begun to enthusiastically count their spoils of war.

As for the Wang family?

The clever ones ran away, those who resisted were killed, and the remaining mortals, as well as some who had launched the sneak attack, became prisoners of war of the two major families.

The wars between cultivation families are extremely brutal.

Ordinary people are a little better off; as slaves or servants, they can at least save their lives.

Those cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages were in a terrible predicament; they became laborers, bound by restrictions, and forced to work until they died.

This also reflects the fact that the victorious family fears that a powerful figure might emerge from the royal family's descendants, leading to retaliation.

Only by eliminating all the cultivators in the Wang family can the potential trouble be nipped in the bud.

Li Yunjing was fully aware of these matters, but he was neither capable nor willing to interfere.

The Wang family plotted against him, and he deserved all the retribution.

A night breeze carried a faint smell of blood.

Li Yunjing stood atop the tallest pavilion in the Wang family compound, overlooking this land that was about to change hands, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

Over three days, the battlefield was cleaned up and spoils were collected; everything proceeded smoothly.

Zhao Qi and Su Muqing had already joined in; after all, if they didn't want to take what belonged to the Wang family, they might as well.

Aside from the Wang family's treasure vault, which was divided equally among Li Yunjing, the Sun family patriarch, and the Qian family patriarch, everything else collected from others or other secret locations was generally considered to belong to whoever obtained it. Li Yunjing, the Sun family patriarch, and the Qian family patriarch could only turn a blind eye; greed for resources is an instinct of cultivators, and no one could stop them.

Of course, if anyone embezzles fourth-tier resources, the three big shots will definitely not show any mercy!

This involves the interests of all three individuals.

Li Yunjing was very satisfied with his gains. He had taken everything from Wang Tianba, plus eight million high-grade spirit stones, which was comparable to robbing an entire sect!

In terms of wealth, Li Yunjing is almost equivalent to the resources of a mountain peak or a branch of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

Three days later, "Purple Cloud City" was shaken.

The Wang family, which had dominated for thousands of years, vanished overnight. Even more shockingly, the Sun and Qian families suddenly announced a century-long closure of their mountain strongholds, no longer interfering in the affairs of the cultivation world.

As for the mysterious array master Li Yunjing, he quietly left after the deed was done, leaving behind only a legend: never provoke an array master, especially one who can repair the clan's protective array.
Li Yunjing, Zhao Qi, and Su Muqing quietly moved into "Zixiao City".

This is a bustling metropolis where everything needed for cultivation can be found.

At this moment, Li Yunjing found the largest inn in the city and rented a manor.

Li Yunjing sat cross-legged in the room, surrounded by spiritual energy. Floating in front of him was an ancient jade slip, a fragment of the "Tai Xu Sword Scripture" obtained from the Wang family's library.

Within the "Chang'an Dynasty," the largest sect is the "Tai Xu Sword Sect."

A sect that specializes in swordsmanship training, it ranks among the top three in the entire "Luofu Continent" in terms of combat power.

Through soul searching, Li Yunjing has already discovered from Wang Tianba's sea of ​​consciousness that the Wang family still has a branch within the "Tai Xu Sword Sect".

The Wang family's actions are similar to the Yu and Fu families' dependence on the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Li Yunjing patted his behind and left. He wasn't afraid of the remaining members of the Wang family retaliating against him; the Sun and Qian families would naturally bear that responsibility.

The transaction was completed, and the rest was none of his business.

At this moment, Li Yunjing was more concerned about this sword technique.

He raised his hand and waved it. The jade simplified into a stream of light and entered his brow. In an instant, countless sword intents surged into his sea of ​​consciousness. It was as if thousands of sword energies were running through his body. Each one was extremely sharp and seemed to be able to cut through the sky!
"Boom!"

A powerful sword intent soared into the sky, startling the birds in the manor and causing the ground to tremble slightly!
Li Yunjing slowly opened his eyes, his pupils seemed to flash with sword shadows, and his whole demeanor became more and more sharp, like a peerless divine weapon drawn from its sheath!

"Tai Xu Sword Sect..."

He murmured to himself, "As expected, it's a major sect, very powerful!"

He stood up, waved his sleeve, and nine array flags appeared out of thin air, rotating around him, each radiating a terrifying aura.

In the past three months, he not only comprehended the "Tai Xu Sword Scripture", but also refined all the resources of the Wang family, and his strength increased dramatically!

In his study of the *Tai Xu Sword Scripture*, Li Yunjing vaguely grasped the opportunity for a breakthrough. He knew that to truly master this unparalleled swordsmanship, relying solely on the incomplete text was far from sufficient. And the *Tai Xu Sword Sect*, as a sacred place of swordsmanship, must possess the complete lineage.

Three days later, crowds thronged in front of Tianbao Pavilion, the largest auction house in Zixiao City.

Li Yunjing, dressed in a blue robe and holding a folding fan, appeared to be strolling leisurely, but in reality, he was secretly observing the passing cultivators.

Zhao Qi and Su Muqing followed behind, adding fragrance to the air.

"I heard there will be Tier 4 materials at today's auction."

A monk spoke in a low voice to his companion.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing's lips curled up slightly.

He already knew about this matter, and his visit was specifically for this document.

Since the battle in the "Cang Kingdom" destroyed the four major formations and various minor formations, Li Yunjing has been eager to find materials to repair these formations one by one.

The bidding was fierce after the auction began.

Every time third- or fourth-tier materials capable of repairing formations appeared, Li Yunjing would quote an exorbitant price without hesitation, causing an uproar among the audience.

In the end, Li Yunjing spent 500,000 high-grade spirit stones, almost monopolizing the third and fourth-tier materials.

Such a grand gesture moved even the few Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the city.

They have that kind of wealth, but they still don't dare to spend like Li Yunjing!

The materials that Li Yunjing bought were almost all related to array formations, which made those with a keen eye immediately guess that the person in front of them was Li Yunjing, the one who destroyed the Wang family in one fell swoop!

Master of Array Formation!

These four words weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

The city lord of "Purple Cloud City" sat in the number one private room on the fourth floor, looking at Li Yunjing's private room with great interest.

After the auction ended, the noise inside Tianbao Pavilion gradually subsided, but undercurrents were still swirling.

Those who flaunt their wealth become targets for those with ulterior motives.

Especially some cultivators from non-powerful factions were put on the kill list!
Li Yunjing was naturally targeted by many people, but his displayed wealth made countless people wary. Wealth that reaches a certain level can be terrifying!
Li Yunjing closed his folding fan, his fingertips lightly stroking the "storage ring," feeling the precious new materials inside.

Five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones would be an astronomical figure for an ordinary cultivator, but for him, it was merely the necessary price to repair the formation.

But that's far from enough!
Many of the rare materials are of Tier 4 quality, and it's impossible to collect them all in a single auction.

According to Li Yunjing's calculations, the eight million high-grade spirit stones he just obtained from the Wang family are not enough to repair the array plate. He may have to spend half of the resources seized from the "Cang Kingdom" to make it work!
"My husband, we should go back now."

Zhao Qi whispered a reminder, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the subtle, voyeuristic gazes around them.

Su Muqing took a half-step closer to Li Yunjing without making a sound, her jade hand already clutching a defensive talisman in her sleeve.

As veteran cultivators in the cultivation world, they knew better than anyone that once they displayed their wealth, there would always be blind people who would covet it.

This is almost always the case, with no exceptions.

Li Yunjing nodded slightly, but his gaze fell on the window on the fourth floor of the "Tianbao Pavilion" that remained tightly closed.

With his keen senses, he had already detected a faint but powerful aura observing him.

"No rush. I want to see who else is so foolish as to try and take advantage of me."

A faint smile played on his lips. "Having spent so many spirit stones this time, shouldn't I find someone to reimburse me for a bit?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the restrictions on the top floor of the "Tianbao Pavilion" suddenly fluctuated, and a purple stream of light shot out from the window, stopping steadily three feet in front of Li Yunjing. It transformed into a purple-gold invitation card, which floated in the air and exuded a faint pressure.

The four large, gilded characters "Lord of Zixiao City" on the invitation shone brightly, causing the surrounding cultivators to change color and retreat in dismay.

"Master Li, my city lord invites you."

A clear, cold voice rang out, and a middle-aged man dressed in a silver-white robe descended from the sky, leaving faint traces of ice crystals in the void with each step.

"It's Lord Xiao Han!"

A cultivator exclaimed in a low voice, "The top strategist under the Purple Cloud City Lord, with a cultivation level of the third level of the Nascent Soul Realm!"

Those who hadn't left yet were all astonished by what they saw.

Many people who had designs on Li Yunjing were startled and secretly rejoiced that they hadn't made a move, otherwise Xiao Han would have let them go.
This is a public slap in the face to the city lord of "Purple Cloud City"!

Li Yunjing remained expressionless and accepted the invitation.

The moment I received the invitation, a special spiritual energy surged through my arm's meridians and rushed straight to my dantian, seemingly testing me.

A glint flashed in his eyes, and the Five Elements Divine Fist was activated within his body. The foreign spiritual power vanished instantly, like a mud ox entering the sea.

"Master Li is truly skilled!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Han's pupils contracted slightly, and a slight fluctuation finally appeared on his cold expression.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please lead the way."

Li Yunjing closed the invitation, his tone so calm it was as if the confrontation had never happened.

Xiao Han gave Li Yunjing a deep look, then turned around and said, "Please come with me."

As Li Yunjing left the "Tianbao Pavilion", he keenly sensed that at least seven different forces' divine senses were secretly spying on him.

One was as cold and venomous as a snake, emanating from a hunched figure wearing a straw hat in the shadows of the street corner; the other was as fiery as a flame, originating from a woman in red at the second-floor window of the restaurant across the street.

“A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator has their eyes on us.”

Zhao Qi transmitted her voice, her tone wary.

"It's nothing, just a clown."

Li Yunjing lightly waved his folding fan, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Since I dare to spend this spirit stone, I'm not afraid of anyone."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Han smiled slightly but did not reply.

The three followed Xiao Han through the main street of "Purple Cloud City," and the cultivators along the way gave way.

Those lurking divine senses were always there, yet no one dared to truly approach.

The title of Grandmaster of Array Formation, coupled with the wealth and strength he just displayed, is enough to intimidate most villains, especially with Xiao Han present!
The Zixiao City Lord's Mansion is located at the highest point in the city center. It is entirely constructed of amethyst stone and glows with a dreamlike halo under the setting sun.

There were faint fluctuations of formations around the mansion. With Li Yunjing's eyesight, he could tell at a glance that it was at least a fifth-order "Purple Qi Comes from the East Formation", which combined offense and defense. Even if a dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators joined forces, they would find it difficult to break through it.

In front of the mansion gate, two teams of silver-armored guards stood holding halberds, each with the cultivation level of a Golden Core cultivator.

Upon seeing Xiao Han leading the guests in, they all bowed in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized, clearly demonstrating their well-trained nature.
