Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 775 - 385: Took the Wrong Path

"Young Master Li, we're going to the East Sea. Can we bring some 'private goods'? I've heard there are many good things over there. If we can bring some back, we'll make a huge profit!"

Ma Xingyuan nodded, then leaned closer and whispered in Li Yunjing's ear.

"You fatty, you never stray far from your craft. Fine, as long as it doesn't interfere with our main task, it's up to you. But don't cause trouble, or I won't be able to protect you."

Li Yunjing glanced at him helplessly, pointed at him, and laughed while scolding.

"Don't worry, Young Master Li. I, Ma Xingyuan, am always reliable in my dealings!"

With Li Yunjing's permission, Ma Xingyuan chuckled and nodded repeatedly.

After chatting a few more sentences, Ma Xingyuan left contentedly.

Looking at his departing figure, Li Yunjing couldn't help but feel that this fatty was smart and reliable in his work, making him a good helper.

As for the fatty, wanting to use his "Star Moon Trading Company" to sell materials for himself, if it were anyone else, Li Yunjing would break their leg!

That's called betrayal!

But the fatty openly discussed this improper business with him, which warmed Li Yunjing's heart, disregarding rules and agreeing to give Ma Xingyuan a backdoor.

"Haha! You treat this fatty really well!"

Lv Ruoxi teased Li Yunjing with a smile, thoughtfully.

"Sigh... The road to cultivation is long, and the fatty was my first friend. Now that I'm successful, letting him benefit a bit is no big deal!"

Li Yunjing sighed and spoke slowly.

"Yes! Nostalgia is good, but businesses like trading companies still value rules. Don't let the fatty go too far."

Yu Yunyi advised from the side.

"Don't worry! Though the fatty seems carefree, he's actually meticulous and won't overdo it!"

Li Yunjing wasn't worried; being recognized by him meant more than just being his first friend!

Li Yunjing trusted Ma Xingyuan's character!

"Okay! As long as you're aware!"

Yu Yunyi nodded, no longer advising further.

She had reminded him enough; saying more might upset Li Yunjing, making him think she was trying to drive a wedge between him and his friend.

"Haha! Got it! You two are the closest people to me; I know you're concerned about me!"

Li Yunjing spoke with a smile.

After sending off all the "Purple Cloud Faction" people, Li Yunjing chatted briefly with the "East Splendor Tower" shopkeeper before returning to "Qiuwu Manor."

For three consecutive days, Li Yunjing dealt with nothing, only sparred with Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi.

During this period, he also recorded his recent achievements, placing the copies in the study for Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi to learn.

Once Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi were thoroughly satisfied, Li Yunjing began preparing for the East Sea journey.

This time, his old friends Ma Xingyuan, Hou Boyan, Su Guo, Jin Shouyun, Yue Zhouwang, and Wang Yun also signed up, ready to venture together.

Though comfortable in the sect, the income was too low; the sect's salary was insufficient for a cultivator's consumption!

Thus, the sect encouraged disciples to seek resources outside.

"Shenxiao Dao Sect" can't fully rely on the sect to support so many disciples.

"Shenxiao Dao Sect" has a million disciples scattered everywhere.

Each state and county of the Great Ming Dynasty has a "Shenxiao Temple."

Experts are few here; mostly inner sect disciples, outer sect disciples, and some recruited temporary disciples.

These people also have monthly stipends, seemingly not much individually, but collectively it's a significant amount.

There are also border towns, the Transverse Mountain Range, Youyue Country, all garrisoned by cultivator armies.

"Shenxiao Dao Sect" supplying the basic cultivation resources to these cultivators is already extremely difficult.

To seek more resources, cultivators have to rely on themselves.

Like Li Yunjing, a major resource consumer; his consumption equals tens of thousands!

Though the sect has abundant resources, there are many disciples. If everyone depended on the sect, resources would quickly deplete.

Encouraging disciples to venture out for opportunities improves individual strength and brings back more resources for the sect.

This is why "Shenxiao Dao Sect" remains prosperous.

After notifying the departure time, Li Yunjing, with time still, visited the "Scripture Pavilion."

This time, he still didn't see the old man.

"Sigh!"

Li Yunjing sighed, wondering if there was a chance to help prolong the old man's life.

Li Yunjing repaid kindness generously.

The old man greatly helped him during his early cultivation.

Previously, with low cultivation, Li Yunjing couldn't discern the old man's condition and thought it was simply nearing the end of his lifespan.

Later, as his realm improved and perspective broadened, Li Yunjing realized the old man had been severely injured, affecting his core.

With the old man's Golden Core Realm cultivation and the vast power of "Shenxiao Dao Sect," unable to cure him, it was evident how serious the injury was!

Li Yunjing had some Spring of Life, perhaps it could help? 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

But he didn't trust giving it to others; he had to find the old man himself!

Familiar with the way to the third floor, Li Yunjing successfully exchanged all Tier Three content for Artifact Refining, Alchemy, Talisman, Array, and Puppet.
