Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 716 - 362: Auction Begins (Requesting Monthly Passes)

"Good! Please!"

Wen Bin smiled and nodded, waving his hand. The other two disciples from the "Feiyun Sect" approached, and he whispered a few words before they dispersed and went to the sixth floor.

Since Liao Wanqing came alone, Wen Bin naturally felt embarrassed to bring his fellow sect members along.

Everyone was a talented figure with equal status, capable of sitting together and chatting leisurely.

The ordinary junior brothers and sisters below were not qualified enough to mingle with them and had no need to forcibly congregate together.

Liao Wanqing, Wen Bin, and Li Linzi followed Li Yunjing upstairs under his guidance.

As they entered the second floor, the flow of people was noticeably much smaller than the first floor!

Within the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the most abundant were the Qi Refining Realm cultivators at the bottom tier.

Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm already held a basic status in the Immortal Cultivation Realm and could earn some respect.

The layout of the second floor was of a much higher grade.

The sales of treasures focused more on the cultivators' experience, a stark contrast to the chaotic environment of the first floor.

If we compare it, it might be akin to the distinction between high-end malls and ordinary vegetable markets.

On this floor, Li Linzi stayed behind to maintain order.

Meanwhile, Li Yunjing took Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing for a brief tour before continuing upstairs.

On the third floor of the "Star Moon Trading Company," there were individual rooms.

Here, the conditions were extremely well-equipped. Each guest had a separate reception room with complimentary spirit fruits and spirit tea for tasting!

The treasures provided by the "Star Moon Trading Company" were the fewest on this floor, as the customers served here were all Golden Core Realm cultivators.

Li Yunjing's ability was insufficient to supply many Tier Three materials or magical treasures.

Besides the items used for display, many were gathered through acquisitions.

These items among Golden Core Realm cultivators were ordinary, lacking core competitiveness.

Li Yunjing couldn't help feeling helpless about it!

Even if there were a group of Golden Core cultivators supplying him with goods, he wouldn't be able to afford them. The business growth in this area needed the "Star Moon Trading Company" to develop slowly.

Being hasty wouldn't be effective at all.

After they passed through the stairs on the third floor, the fourth floor was hazy, and its interior was not visible.

Liao Wanqing and Wen Bin were shocked. What was this situation ahead?

"Let's go! Let's head to the auction!"

Without explanation, Li Yunjing smiled and invited the two to join him.

This was indeed the core area where all treasures were located, with "Celestial Craft Hall" Hall Master Fu Lingfeng personally presiding!

In such a place, even Li Yunjing had to be cautious, fearing he might disturb Fu Lingfeng and cause dissatisfaction.

Under Fu Lingfeng's watchful eyes, Li Yunjing dared not introduce the situation, simply leading the two upstairs.

The fifth floor was the auction hall!

The fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth floors were all connected, forming a large independent venue.

On the fifth floor, rows of seats were already filled with cultivators, each whispering, but due to the sheer number of people, everyone talking created a huge buzzing sound.

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow but did not interfere, instead proceeding towards the sixth floor.

The noise below would quiet down once the auction officially started; he wasn't worried about that.

The sixth floor had a slightly better situation, with far fewer people, so even if there was whispering and discussions, it wouldn't be too noisy.

On the seventh floor, there were private rooms, so naturally, there was no noise.

Each private room was closed off, with restrictions blocking outside sounds. Even if it was noisy outside, the people inside wouldn't be affected.

Li Yunjing's reserved private room was number 300. He headed directly to his room, opened the door, and invited Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing inside.

The room had over thirty square feet, equipped with complete tables and chairs.

On the table, there was a teapot, teacups, and a fruit plate for the guests to enjoy.

At the front of the room, there was a large glass shield.

Bright and clean!

Through the window, one could see the huge auction stage below.

As the host, Li Yunjing brewed tea for his two friends while looking down at the auction hall through the window.

On the central auction stage on the fifth floor, many cultivators from the "Star Moon Trading Company" and "Shenxiao Dao Sect" were flying back and forth, organizing the auction's various matters.

Below, the numerous cultivators who came to buy treasures were like a sea of people, discussing and pointing.

From a high vantage point looking down, there was a unique flavor.

That high and mighty feeling, isn't it the superiority that prominent figures pursue?

"Brother Li, this auction is surely the largest transaction event in the East Sea in a century!"

Wen Bin also gazed at the scene, unable to resist expressing his feelings.

Such a grand occasion could only be organized under the support of the sect by the true disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect." If it were him, he wouldn't be able to achieve such a scale.

At best, it would be a well-known store within a market, far inferior to the "Star Moon Trading Company."

"Indeed! Even our 'Holy Sound Sect's official trade association cannot compare to Brother Li's business!"

Liao Wanqing nodded repeatedly, her eyes flashing thoughtfully.

"Haha!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Li Yunjing's eyes twinkled as an idea formed in his mind. He laughed and said, "By the way, I have no solid foundation in the East Sea! Brother Wen, Fairy Liao, would you be interested in becoming the tributing elders of my 'Star Moon Trading Company'? I will pay each of you fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones annually!"

Upon hearing this, waves surged in the hearts of Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing.

The price of fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones was indeed not low!

Moreover, they understood the position of tributing elder!

Normally, they wouldn't need to worry about the "Star Moon Trading Company" affairs, only stepping in to resolve issues when necessary.

Given the "Star Moon Trading Company's" background combined with the influence of the "Feiyun Sect" and "Holy Sound Sect," the chances of encountering trouble weren't high. Furthermore, Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing were formidable figures, confident they could handle any trouble for the "Star Moon Trading Company" in the East Sea!

Besides the spirit stones' benefits, this move also served to deepen their relationship with Li Yunjing.

"Haha! It's a small matter! Since we are allies now, Brother Li's matters are my matters!"

Wen Bin laughed heartily, knowing Li Yunjing's significant identity. Once the mission was completed, he would surely return to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," needing someone to help oversee things here!

Wen Bin decided to handle this for Li Yunjing!

"Good! Since that's the case, I also agree! Anyone who causes trouble for the 'Star Moon Trading Company' is causing trouble for me, Liao Wanqing! I definitely won't let them off!"

With Wen Bin agreeing, Liao Wanqing naturally wouldn't refuse. She also voiced her consent.

"Haha! Since you both agree, I'll first pay you one year's salary!"

Li Yunjing laughed, said a sentence, and with a "swish" of his sleeve, the table was piled with spirit stones, exactly two heaps of fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones each!

Seeing this scene, Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing were stunned, realizing how outstanding the true genius handled matters!

Offer benefits first, then get things done!

This move greatly increased Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing's favorable impression of Li Yunjing!

This is indeed handling things well!

"Thank you, Brother Li!"

Without hesitation, Wen Bin reached out, collected his share of spirit stones into a gourd treasure, nodded at Li Yunjing, and revealed a smile.

"I won't be polite either then!"

Liao Wanqing also collected her spirit stones.

"We're all allies, no need for politeness! Additionally, you will enjoy an 8.5% discount on purchases!"

Li Yunjing casually added another significant benefit.

"Brother Li, you are thoughtful!"

Wen Bin was delighted, being knowledgeable about the typical value of treasures in shops.

An 8.5% discount already had enormous appeal.

Liao Wanqing also nodded repeatedly at the side, the more she looked at Li Yunjing, the more pleasing he was. Talented, handsome, and generous—where could one find such a man?

Li Yunjing was truly remarkable!

"Haha! As long as you are satisfied!"

Seeing Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing understanding his intention, Li Yunjing was ecstatic!

These days, it's not about being generous, but fearing the other party is ignorant, giving benefits yet receiving nothing in return—a true loss.

Dealing with smart people is indeed comfortable!

With this bond and tangible benefits, Li Yunjing believed that even without saying a word, "Star Moon Trading Company" would receive full assistance from these two if needed.

The three exchanged communication methods using the "Myriad Li Communication Talisman," and the auction below was nearly ready to start.

Just as Li Yunjing, Wen Bin, and Liao Wanqing reached cooperation and discussed continuing the "Star Moon Trading Company" branch plans, the auction officially commenced.

Shenxiao Dao Sect Law Enforcement Hall Elder Yu Yuanhua appeared in the center of the auction stage from the fourth floor via an elevator.

As the auction began, Li Yunjing, Wen Bin, and Liao Wanqing stopped chatting and looked towards the auction hall below.

They were interested in this auction.

If suitable items appeared, they would participate in the bidding.

At this moment, several Shenxiao Dao Sect Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators carried a purple sandalwood box to Yu Yuanhua.

The cultivators, at Yu Yuanhua's signal, opened the box, revealing a fist-sized elixir.

This elixir emitted an aura like a rising flame, burning "zizizi," filling the space with a glow. Layers of radiance appeared on the elixir.

These radiances shone with seven colors, transforming into musical notes, emitting beautiful sounds.

"Wow..."

The entire audience was astonished, all shocked.

Including the Golden Core Realm experts from the East Sea on Li Yunjing's floor!

This was an exceptionally potent elixir!

"'Nirvana Pill'! This is a treasure aiding Golden Core Realm cultivators to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm!"

"This is the legendary treasure pill!"

"Such an elixir has vanished from the East Sea! In the last millennium, I've never heard of anyone consuming such an elixir!"

...

Numerous discussions filled the auction hall with applause!
