Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 84 Promotion Gift
Of the seven people including Yue Zhouwang, half of them were at the sixth level of Qi Refining. They wouldn't stay at "Yaxiang Garden" for long; they would be promoted to inner sect sooner or later.

At that time, the lucrative position of "Yaxiangyuan" naturally had to be relinquished.

Next, they need to figure out where to settle down.

Within the sect, there are countless people like Yue Zhouwang.

They didn't have any powerful circles; at most, they were protected by the stewards of the "Foreign Affairs Hall."

The next step is to move into the inner gate, and the stewards of the "Outer Affairs Hall" may not be able to help them find a good job.

At this point, Yue Zhouwang and the others placed their hopes on Li Yunjing, hoping that this young master might be able to lend them a hand in a crucial moment in the future.

"All gone!"

"Disperse!"

Two gatekeepers began to shoo away the onlookers near the gate.

"Senior Brother Li, please come in!"

Yue Zhouwang stood guard beside Li Yunjing, guiding him.

With a group of outer gatekeepers clearing the way, the group of nine quickly arrived at the private room.

Li Yunjing, without hesitation, took the seat of honor.

Li Yunjing looked at Ma Xingyuan, who looked anxious, and said with a smile, "Fatty, you sit to my left!"

"Okay!"

Ma Xingyuan shouted happily, jumped high, and pushed aside an outer gate steward in front of him to sit down next to Li Yunjing.

The others looked at Ma Xingyuan with envy.

This fat guy is really lucky; he had the same job as Li Yunjing and they went through thick and thin together.

Li Yunjing became successful, so he took good care of him. Fatty is so lucky!
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in life!
If they had known Li Yunjing's career trajectory, they would have fawned over him back then and worshipped him like an ancestor.

After Li Yunjing and Ma Xingyuan were seated, Yue Zhouwang and the others took their seats one by one from Li Yunjing's right.

The banquet had been prepared for a long time. As soon as the distinguished guests arrived, people from "Ya Xiang Yuan" began to serve the dishes and wine.

Li Yunjing glanced at the dishes on the table and nodded slightly.

The dishes on the table were extremely plentiful, including fish and meat, all of which were from various first-tier high-level demonic beasts.

The vegetables and medicinal cuisine are all top-quality products personally cultivated by the sect's spiritual plant master.

The wine is also a first-grade spirit wine brewed by the sect's brewers.

Li Yunjing roughly estimated that the table was filled with a variety of items, totaling at least a hundred spirit stones.

"Senior Brother Li, this time, we are holding a banquet to celebrate your promotion to become the manager of the 'Scripture Pavilion'!"

Yue Zhouwang was the first to raise his glass, his eyes filled with utmost sincerity.

"Okay! We're all good friends, let's have a drink together."

Li Yunjing sat with an air of nonchalance, raised his wine cup, gestured slightly to the crowd, then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, the others all drank a cup as well.

After all the dishes were served, Yue Zhouwang got up, went to the door, locked the door, and then turned back.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing Yue Zhouwang's cautious demeanor, Li Yunjing smiled, a smile of immense joy.

“Senior Brother Li, we haven’t had a chance to celebrate your promotion to the ‘Scripture Pavilion’ this time.”

“We are very excited that our senior brother has graced us with his presence to visit us old friends. We have prepared a gift for our senior brother Li.”

Yue Zhouwang spoke with a smile, while his hands moved continuously, taking out a box from his storage bag and placing it on the table in front of Li Yunjing.

"We're all family, you're too kind!"

Li Yunjing glanced at Yue Zhouwang, smiled slightly, and then turned to look at the others.

Seeing everyone's respectful attitude, he couldn't help but chuckle and say, "You guys are really something. We're all good brothers, why be so formal? This is really too much. Don't do it again!"

"This will never happen again!"

"This will never happen again!"

……

The others echoed his sentiments, but inwardly cursed, "If we don't give gifts, will you help us in the future? What a fucking hypocrite!"

Ma Xingyuan also took out a box with a smile on his face.

With Li Yunjing protecting him like this, Ma Xingyuan had to make some preparations, both for public and private reasons.

This time, Ma Xingyuan suffered a huge loss; he spent almost all the wealth he had accumulated during his time as a solitary cultivator.

Fortunately, he has now entered "Yaxiangyuan" and is getting along well with Yue Zhouwang, Wang Yun and the others. They don't ostracize him and even help him make money.

In the future, Ma Xingyuan will not lack spirit stones.

"Young Master Li, look what I've prepared for you!"

Ma Xingyuan wasn't afraid to cut in line. He was the first to push his box to Li Yunjing, asking him to open it and take a look.

"Hmm? So enthusiastic?"

Li Yunjing chuckled and turned to look at Ma Xingyuan, only to see him winking at him.

Li Yunjing immediately understood and nodded slightly to Ma Xingyuan.

Only then, under everyone's watchful eyes, did he pick up one of Ma Xingyuan's rectangular boxes.

"Crack!"

Li Yunjing opened the box and saw that inside was a golden metal block.

As soon as the box was opened, a faint golden light emanated from it.

"Gengjin?"

Before Li Yunjing could speak, Yue Zhouwang exclaimed in surprise.

His voice trembled slightly; he could hardly believe that Ma Xingyuan could give something away.
Geng metal is not a low-grade material.

Those are top-tier materials for crafting spiritual artifacts in the Foundation Establishment stage. Even a Golden Core stage expert can incorporate them into their own magic weapon!
Ma Xingyuan's piece is the size of a fingernail!

Geng metal is priced per gram!

A piece like this would cost at least 2500 low-grade spirit stones!

"hiss……"

Upon hearing this, and looking at the Gengjin in Li Yunjing's hand, everyone else gasped in shock.

Not to mention them, even Li Yunjing was a little stunned. This was given to him by Ma Xingyuan?
With such wealth, if he were to contribute it to the steward, the steward would surely cultivate Ma Xingyuan and give him a good job! Has this kid gone mad?
Why would you give yourself something this good?
If it were me, I definitely wouldn't give away such a rare and precious treasure!

"Excellent! This is my gift to Senior Brother Li, to celebrate his promotion to manager of the 'Scripture Pavilion'!"

"Only something like Geng metal is worthy of Senior Brother Li's use!"

Ma Xingyuan remained very calm. When he saw Li Yunjing's questioning gaze, he nodded slightly.

"Thanks, Fatty!"

Li Yunjing nodded. Although he didn't know why Ma Xingyuan had given him Gengjin, now was not the time to ask. He would ask him after the banquet.

"Brother Ma is very generous! I can't compare to you, but I'm sure this item will satisfy Senior Brother Li as well."

Yue Zhouwang sighed; his plan to seize the initiative had failed.

However, he was very confident in his gift; once it was delivered, Li Yunjing would definitely not forget him.

"Oh? What gift did Brother Yue give that gives you such confidence?"

Li Yunjing was curious. Once Geng metal appeared, who could compete with it?

Li Yunjing truly couldn't believe that anyone else could produce materials of this caliber.

In his mind, if each of these people contributed something worth tens or hundreds of spirit stones, then his trip wouldn't have been in vain.

Li Yunjing didn't have high expectations for Yue Zhouwang and the others.

"Hehe! Senior Brother Li, please take a look!"

Yue Zhouwang chuckled and said mysteriously.

He was already at the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining, and was not far from breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. Otherwise, Ma Xingyuan would not have been transferred to "Yaxiang Garden".

Ma Xingyuan is the substitute, and he's the one who's going to take his place.

At this point, Yue Zhouwang needed someone to help him make arrangements.

All the other people's promises were empty words, but Li Yunjing rose to prominence right under his nose, advancing triumphantly all the way, and even the "Ten Thousand Laws Society" couldn't deal with him.

Li Yunjing's friends were either from the Yu family or the Fu family.

Now he has even put himself in the "Library" as a manager.

With such a great god before him, Yue Zhouwang naturally had no desire to ask anyone else for help.

He placed all his hopes on Li Yunjing.

This time, the intention was naturally to give Li Yunjing a real shock.

So that this young master will remember his kindness!

"Starstone!"

Li Yunjing opened the box and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Then, a seven-colored light emanated from the box. This stone was quite large, about the size of a fist. Its body was black like refined iron, but it was even deeper in color. On the black stone surface, a soft seven-colored light shone.

The other outer sect leaders frowned upon seeing this. Why did Senior Brother Yue bring out such a valuable treasure?

Coupled with Ma Xingyuan's previous actions, this made the others' expressions somewhat unpleasant.

The gifts they prepared were far inferior to what the two of them had received. Wasn't that a slap in the face?

Several people even secretly took their gifts back.

The group rummaged through the storage bag and took the gift box out again.

Clearly, they felt the previously prepared gift was not up to par, so they changed it at the last minute.

"It is indeed a starstone! I bought this at the sect's market for a thousand spirit stones. It is a good material for refining magic weapons or spiritual weapons, and it will surely be useful to Senior Brother Li!"

Seeing the others' surprise, Yue Zhouwang felt somewhat smug.

After using the "Star Stone" to subdue the others, he turned to Li Yunjing with a smile on his face and said, "Senior Brother Li, please accept it!"

"Alright! Junior Brother Yue, I understand your intentions. I will help you with what you want, so don't worry!"

Li Yunjing nodded, understanding Yue Zhouwang's thoughts.

The relationship between the two parties is not one of friendship, but rather a transaction.

However, the price of 1000 spirit stones was enough for Li Yunjing to make an effort for Yue Zhouwang.

He is no longer the inexperienced apprentice he was four months ago.

I met many fellow disciples in the "Scripture Pavilion," and I had a decent relationship with some of them. If I were to pay a small price, I could help Yue Zhouwang.

As for Yu Yunyi and Fu Chao, Li Yunjing never intended to trouble them.

If he can't even handle this simple matter, wouldn't he lose face with both families for no reason?
"Thank you for taking care of me, Senior Brother!"

Yue Zhouwang was overjoyed; this was exactly what he had been waiting for.

With Li Yunjing's assurance, Yue Zhouwang finally felt relieved.

For these low-level monks, every step they take has a significant impact on their lives.

To advance to a higher level, you must seize every opportunity.

Now, Yue Zhouwang has finally seized his next opportunity!
"Ok!"

Li Yunjing nodded slightly. As for Yue Zhouwang's arrangements, it wouldn't be too late for him to take action after Yue Zhouwang reached the seventh level of Qi Refining and completed the assessment task.

According to Li Yunjing's estimation, Yue Zhouwang's advancement to the inner sect would be at least a matter for next year.

This is plenty of time!
Li Yunjing achieved a good result in the outer sect competition.

His status and position will be incomparable to what they are now, and people will be more willing to do him a favor then.

Next year, it will be even easier for Li Yunjing to handle this matter.

"Senior Brother Li, this is my congratulatory gift!"

"this is mine!"

"Senior Brother Li, please look at mine first!"

……

Seeing that Yue Zhouwang had achieved his wish, Wang Yun and the others couldn't sit still and hurriedly handed over their gifts.

They certainly can't be promoted to inner disciples in a short time, but it will only take three to five years, which is not a long time for cultivators.

Three to five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

If they start working on it now, and then send some gifts to Senior Brother Li over the next few years to maintain their relationship, they will definitely have a chance to get a good job with Senior Brother Li's help.
