Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 774 - 384: Friends Reunited_3

Another disciple chimed in.

"I have accomplished much in the field of talisman making, I can work as a Talisman Maker at the 'Star Moon Trading Company'!"

Another female disciple said with a smile.

As more people spoke, more participants joined in.

One by one, the members expressed their thoughts.

Of course, most of them were Qi Refining Realm, with a few being Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. The other True Disciples and excellent Inner Sect Disciples did not speak.

Cultivators at their level could thrive anywhere, so naturally, they did not need to risk going to the East Sea.

Just like Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi, who sat steadily beside Li Yunjing, serving him dishes and refilling his wine, without mentioning anything about going to the East Sea.

"Good! Those willing to develop in the East Sea, I will send you information before we leave. Let's toast to our future journey to the East Sea!"

Seeing that there were almost enough people, Li Yunjing raised his glass and toasted everyone from afar.

"Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses, and the atmosphere became lively again.

However, following the toast, some people seemed preoccupied with their thoughts.

Li Yunjing's old friend, Ma Xingyuan, the chubby one, couldn't even eat the dishes before him.

He was lost in thought, struggling to decide.

Recently, relying on Li Yunjing's influence, he had been doing quite well in the sect and had even reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.

However, Ma Xingyuan's Foundation Establishment was somewhat lacking. He had managed it by winning first place in the Outer Sect Competition, acquiring a lot of resources, and then exchanging his wealth for a 'Foundation Establishment Pill', thereby barely reaching Foundation Establishment.

Now, Ma Xingyuan was penniless and having a tough time.

He was considering whether to follow Li Yunjing to the East Sea and try his luck.

Before the end of the banquet, while Li Yunjing was settling the bill, Ma Xingyuan approached him, smiling, and asked, "Young Master Li, what should I do?"

Li Yunjing finished settling the spirit stones and absentmindedly replied, "Chubby, what do you mean?"

"To the East Sea or stay in the sect?"

Ma Xingyuan gave Li Yunjing a helpless look, feeling like he hadn't really been heard and was hoping for some advice.

"Oh!"

Only then did Li Yunjing look Ma Xingyuan up and down, increasingly bewildered, "Chubby, you've reached Foundation Establishment? Faster than Su Guo and Jin Shouyun?"

Li Yunjing's old friends were mostly in the Qi Refining Realm Eighth or Ninth Layer, with only Ma Xingyuan having reached Foundation Establishment. Was he really blind to not recognize Ma Xingyuan's talent?

"Heh heh!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing finally noticed, Ma Xingyuan puffed out his chest comically and said, "How about that? I did not disgrace you, did I?"

Earlier, when entering, surrounded by True Disciples, Sect Stewards, Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, and Inner Sect core disciples, Ma Xingyuan couldn't even get close.

Now, he finally had a chance to show off his accomplishments in front of Li Yunjing.

"How did you cultivate so quickly?"

Li Yunjing asked curiously.

"Heh heh! I relied entirely on resources! Winning first in the Outer Sect Competition earned me a fortune, which I turned all into elixirs. When I reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, I exchanged everything for a 'Foundation Establishment Pill'! By the way, I sold the low grade spiritual flying sword you lent me!"

At the end, Ma Xingyuan looked at Li Yunjing pitifully, fearing he might ask for the sword back.

After all, when Li Yunjing lent him the sword, he made it clear that it was a loan, not a gift!

"Oh!"

Li Yunjing looked at Ma Xingyuan with a half-smile, teasing, "You should go to the East Sea! Work at my 'Star Moon Trading Company'. As for when you'll get paid? When you earn back the sword's cost!"

"No way?"

Ma Xingyuan was flabbergasted.

With a bitter face, scratching his head, Ma Xingyuan said apologetically, "Young Master Li, that's not fair! We're brothers, you can't make me work for free! Besides, you lent me the sword willingly, I didn't force you!"

"Hahaha!"

Li Yunjing couldn't help but laugh, patting his friend on the shoulder, "Alright, I was joking. Since you've reached Foundation Establishment, you're now a tributor at my 'Star Moon Trading Company', and your treatment will be good. As for that flying sword, consider it my gift for reaching Foundation Establishment."

Li Yunjing was now wealthy, and a mere low grade spiritual flying sword was nothing to him.

Moreover, Ma Xingyuan held a special place in his heart, being his first friend in the Shenxiao Dao Sect.

His friend breaking through to Foundation Establishment made Li Yunjing happy, as it meant Ma Xingyuan could keep up and lend a hand.

Li Yunjing always hoped his friends wouldn't fall behind.

Of course, that was impossible; people had different talents and opportunities, some soared, while more were lost in the crowd.

Even so, if a friend had needs, Li Yunjing was willing to help and support them.

Hearing this, Ma Xingyuan beamed, cupping his hands in thanks, "Thank you, Young Master Li! You're truly generous! I, Ma Xingyuan, will do anything for you!"

"Alright, enough flattery! Since you've decided to go to the East Sea, prepare well. While there are many opportunities, the dangers are also numerous. Don't be careless."

Li Yunjing shook his head; this chubby guy was still as carefree as ever.

Ma Xingyuan puffed out his chest confidently, "Don't worry, Young Master Li, I was the first in the Outer Sect Competition!"

"Alright, stop bragging! Go prepare, we'll leave in a few days."

Seeing Ma Xingyuan's confident demeanor, Li Yunjing felt more at ease and gave him a few parting words with a smile.
