Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 701 - 347 Temporary Manager (Requesting Monthly Votes)

"Star Moon Trading Company" has been established to date, and besides Feng Xueting, only Cong Rujin, who joined not long ago, is a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator.

With just two small Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators, without much divine techniques or Dao practice, how could they suppress the small fry from all sides?

Finding someone capable has become very important right now.

Li Yunjing and Jiang Feilong went to a restaurant on the street.

The restaurant on the East Sea islands is good at making seafood, all caught from the demon beasts in the sea, with a delicious taste and unique flavor.

Li Yunjing and Jiang Feilong, exchanging toasts, became much more familiar with each other.

For Li Yunjing's request to help take care of "Star Moon Trading Company" in the future, Jiang Feilong naturally patted his chest and guaranteed that it was no problem!

With this assurance, Li Yunjing felt he didn't waste his time, drinking until midnight before saying goodbye to Jiang Feilong.

This time, Li Yunjing did not return to the branch of "Shenxiao Temple". All sorts of masters from the East Sea gathered there; with his level of cultivation, he found it tiresome and would rather stay at his own "Star Moon Trading Company".

"Uncle Li, how should these plants and flowers be arranged?"

When Li Yunjing came back to his backyard, ready to tidy up a room to use as a bedroom, a clear voice came.

Li Yunjing turned to look, only to see a young female disciple with a slender figure, holding a pot of spirit plant standing under the veranda, smiling at Li Yunjing.

"Niece, who are you?"

Li Yunjing squinted his eyes at the other party and asked softly.

"Disciple Shi Huilan, it was Uncle Li Linzi who asked me to come and help you take care of the backyard."

Shi Huilan said respectfully.

Li Yunjing noticed that although this disciple named Shi Huilan had a low level of cultivation, only at the fourth layer of Qi Refining Realm, she had a calm and unhurried demeanor.

It seemed that before entering the Immortal Sect, she had quite a background.

However, due to her mediocre talent, she was left in Yingtian Prefecture.

This girl wanted to get close to him, probably with the idea of gaining some benefits from him as well.

Li Yunjing could understand this sort of thing.

Immortal cultivation is difficult; not everyone is a genius who can thrive in Shenxiao Dao Sect.

Many bottom-tier cultivators, in order to advance further in the path of immortality, have paid enormous prices, becoming someone's dog, a servant, or a slave.

To obtain resources, they can sell anything.

Li Yunjing did not have such people around him because his level was too high.

Those who resorted to unscrupulous means to approach him were naturally unqualified to gain his support.

Ma Xingyuan, Hou Boyan, Yue Zhouwang, Wang Yun and the others were already the minimum among the people Li Yunjing knew.

Besides them, the worst were at the middle-upper level of inner sect disciples.

Now, seeing a small fourth-layer Qi Refining Realm cultivator actively trying to get close to him, Li Yunjing felt a hint of interest.

"Squeak..."

Li Yunjing pushed the door open and entered the room. He saw that some bonsai, arranged by Shi Huilan, followed the Feng Shui layout and secretly aligned with the spirit gathering array's direction.

"You know array formations?"

This surprised Li Yunjing greatly; a small fourth-layer Qi Refining Realm cultivator who knew arrays?

Seeing the shock on the face of this true disciple, Shi Huilan was delighted and smiled, "I know a little. Before entering the sect, I had learned some at home."

"Shi Family?"

Li Yunjing fell into contemplation, seemingly having never heard of a Shi family.

"Uncle Li, disciple's family used to be a cultivation clan, but it has declined."

Seeing Li Yunjing contemplating, Shi Huilan explained, "Later, with some connections, I managed to join the sect, but unfortunately, my talent was poor and I was sent to Shenxiao Temple."

"Hmm!"

Li Yunjing nodded, having made up his mind.

In the immortal cultivation realm, the rise and fall are frequent, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west. There are no eternal protagonists.

Shenxiao Dao Sect had also declined before in history, even facing annihilation.

However, Shenxiao Dao Sect, being a colossal sect, had deep reserves. Even if it declined for an era, with new outstanding disciples, it could still rise again.

Each resurgence made Shenxiao Dao Sect stronger than before!

Remaining vigilant in prosperity, Shenxiao Dao Sect would leave more backup plans to ensure that even if it declined, it wouldn't face destruction and could rise again in a short time!

"Shenxiao Dao Sect" had this confidence.

Some small clans and sects, however, did not have the foundation to start over.

The Spirit Snake Sect before him was such; once destroyed, it had almost no chance to rise again.

The thousand or so escaped disciples, other than becoming loose cultivators, would either join other forces and become their disciples.

A great sect thus vanished.

Shi Huilan's family was not an influential clan; its downfall was not surprising.

Li Yunjing instructed Shi Huilan, "I'll leave this place to you! Before the Star Moon Trading Company opens, arrange ten people to manage everything here."

"Yes! Uncle Li, I will definitely tidy this place up!"

Shi Huilan was overjoyed, finally getting the opportunity to work for Li Yunjing.

"Hmm!"

Li Yunjing walked with Shi Huilan in the courtyard, inspecting the results of their people's work.

He casually asked Shi Huilan about her understanding of business and array formations, growing more amazed as he listened.

Shi Huilan was not very good at cultivation, but she had quite a talent in business and array formations.

Ultimately, Li Yunjing confirmed that this woman was a talent worth nurturing!

As for her low Qi Refining Realm cultivation?

It wasn't much of an issue!

Even if she were a pig, as long as Li Yunjing was willing to nurture her, he could help her advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators can live for five hundred years!

With such a long lifespan, as long as Shi Huilan worked hard for him, Li Yunjing was sure he could retrieve the resources spent on her!

"My Star Moon Trading Company currently lacks a manager. Would you be willing to take charge for a while? Your salary won't disappoint you!"

Li Yunjing suddenly asked.

Shi Huilan was overjoyed and said with a smile, "I'm willing to serve Uncle Li!"

As for the treatment, Shi Huilan did not even ask!

As long as she managed the Star Moon Trading Company well, Uncle Li wouldn't mistreat her!

A finger's worth of wealth from a true disciple would be enough for her to enjoy endlessly.

"Very well! You do a good job at my Star Moon Trading Company, and I will reward you based on your performance. Advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm won't be a problem!"

Li Yunjing looked at her deeply and said, "I can see that you are an ambitious person. The Star Moon Trading Company needs talents like you."

...

While Li Yunjing was appointing the temporary manager for Star Moon Trading Company, negotiations between various forces in Shenxiao Temple's branch hall were still intense.

The top seat in the hall naturally belonged to Shenxiao Dao Sect's Nascent Soul Realm Patriarch.

To his left and right were the leaders of the Holy Sound Sect, Fairy of the Holy Sound, and the Feiyun Sect's Feiyun Master.

Both of them were powerful Nascent Soul Realm experts.

On the left side of these three Nascent Soul Realm patriarchs were the elders of Shenxiao Dao Sect.

On the right side sat other experts, among them the Green Wave Immortals, sitting at the top right, representing their esteemed status, second only to the Nascent Soul Realm elders.

A large group of Golden Core Realm experts represented their respective forces, each with their own interests to pursue.

Such negotiations naturally required a considerable amount of time and effort, with mutual discussions leading to final compromises and acceptable outcomes for all parties.

Where do the interests come from?

Naturally, it was impossible all from Shenxiao Dao Sect's subsidy!

Shenxiao Dao Sect could only provide some benefits to various forces.

Most of the benefits still had to be extracted from the forces supporting Mingxin Temple!

"Did Five Elements Master just say that whichever force captures the Soul-Controlling Sect or Ascetic Sect can keep it, is that true?!"

The Fairy of the Holy Sound widened her beautiful eyes, unable to contain her delight as she asked.

"Exactly! Whoever contributes the most or captures the Soul-Controlling Sect or Ascetic Sect will own it! Of course, if other forces in the alliance contribute, they will be compensated according to their merits!"

Five Elements Master chuckled and said lightly.

The interests of the East Sea did not belong to Shenxiao Dao Sect anyway, so he was generous with others' interests!

"Hehe! Fairy of the Holy Sound, which one do you fancy? Would it be acceptable if the remaining one goes to my Feiyun Sect?"

Feiyun Master also chuckled.

"Feiyun Master, either of these two has Four-Tier spirit veins, occupying either one is good, so I do not insist on one or the other!"

The Fairy of the Holy Sound replied with a slight smile.

This time, Shenxiao Dao Sect's Five Elements Master came personally to the East Sea, and upon contacting the Fairy of the Holy Sound and Feiyun Master, he immediately proposed a discussion.

The Supreme Daoist skill of the Five Elements Master left the Fairy of the Holy Sound and Feiyun Master in awe!

They realized how they had been frogs in a well before, underestimating the formidable strength of Shenxiao Dao Sect's Supreme Elders.

Supported by such a powerful figure, willing to help them reshuffle and redefine the East Sea, the Fairy of the Holy Sound and Feiyun Master became very enthusiastic.

Five Elements Master looked at the two with satisfaction.

The forces gathered here required Shenxiao Dao Sect's full attention, plus with his involvement, helping them deal with Mingxin Temple's experts.

The trouble in the East Sea was virtually resolved.

Thinking of this, Five Elements Master could not help but think of that boy Li Yunjing; his stratagem was really impressive.

Just with Li Yunjing's plan, Shenxiao Dao Sect saved at least thousands of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, over a hundred Golden Core Realm elders, and three to five Nascent Soul Realm Supreme Elders!

Such merit naturally gave the Five Elements Master a great impression, recognizing Li Yunjing's talent!
