Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill

Chapter 590: Chapter 307: Deception and Cunning (Request for Monthly Votes)_2

After leaving the main hall, Li Yunjing passed through a long corridor and entered the second courtyard of the manor.

The scenery here was quite nice, with small bridges over flowing water, green trees and red flowers, and four two-story small buildings surrounding the area.

They were the "Study", "Artifact Refining Room", "Bedroom", and "Mechanical Room".

Li Yunjing explored slightly and hesitated.

The bedroom was not something he needed to check out. It was the private residence of a major figure, likely having no worthwhile items and fraught with dangers. If Li Yunjing himself were that person, he would certainly make his bedroom extremely dangerous, such that any intruder would hardly escape death!

The study was a good place to explore. Li Yunjing thought for a while and decided to make the study his first choice.

Upon entering the study, it did not disappoint. Li Yunjing looked around and saw many books placed on rows of bookshelves.

The miscellaneous books kept by a Half-Step Divinity Transformation Realm expert were already considered a priceless collection for someone like Li Yunjing.

Looking at these books, Li Yunjing swallowed. He looked toward the desk, where the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were neatly arranged!

The brush was a Tier Three high-grade talisman brush!

The ink was refined from the blood of a Tier Three Demon King!

The paper was made from the skin of a Tier Three Demon King!

Even the inkstone was a Tier Three high-grade magical artifact!

All of these were valuable items!

Li Yunjing’s eyes widened!

Just this study alone held enough wealth to make him rich overnight!

However, Li Yunjing couldn’t take away those few bottles and jars from the outer hall, and these desk items clearly belonged to an important figure. Did Li Yunjing have the capability to take them?

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Li Yunjing stood in front of the desk, his mind racing, thinking of various ways.

Wait! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

There were also these tables and chairs, desks and bookshelves, all the study decorations - all valuable items above Tier Two!

This truly was a powerful person’s luxurious house, rich in wealth. Moving any single item outside would be enough for a general Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator to make a fortune.

Li Yunjing even considered emptying the entire study!

No!

That wasn’t enough!

He even thought about packing up the entire small building where the study was located!

Every brick, every tile, every plant, every tree was valuable!

"What should I do!"

Anxious, Li Yunjing was pacing back and forth, thinking hard but unable to come up with a satisfactory way to take away those four valuable items on the desk!

"These treasures, that senior definitely hasn’t refined them yet. At his level, he considers treasure artifacts the way he views magical artifacts, having no time to refine some garbage?"

The more Li Yunjing looked, the more tempted he became, swallowing hard and not knowing what to do.

"Boy! Do you want the things here?"

Suddenly, a hoarse voice echoed in Li Yunjing’s mind.

"Expert!"

This thought flashed through Li Yunjing’s mind!

He looked around but found nothing, wondering who was speaking to him.

"Senior, who are you?"

Li Yunjing couldn’t help but ask.

"No need to search! I am in the third courtyard, in the Spirit Beast Garden!"

The voice paused slightly, seeming to sense Li Yunjing’s astonishment, then continued: "As you wish, I am the Demon King trapped here. If you can find a way to free me, I can share part of this treasure with you!"

"That’s not a problem! But I’m only at Foundation Establishment Realm Third Heaven. How can I possibly have the ability to rescue you?"

Li Yunjing thought for a moment, unable to resist probing.

Regarding the presence of some senior spirit beasts here, Li Yunjing wasn’t particularly shocked. It was normal to raise spirit beasts in the Dao Field.

Li Yunjing’s "Qiuwu Manor" had many spirit beasts, besides Xiao Huang, there was also a pond of koi fish!

If Li Yunjing left for hundreds of years, Xiao Huang and the koi fish might become enlightened, turning into powerful spirit beasts.

This major figure had likely been away for a long time, leaving behind some spirit beasts that became Demon Kings, which seemed reasonable!

"Jade Spring Manor" was a treasure land. If Li Yunjing stayed here, he might quickly improve his cultivation, rising to higher levels.

Now, Li Yunjing wanted to talk to this unfamiliar Demon King to see if he could get information about the owner of this place.

"Very well! As long as you’re willing to cooperate, I can guide you to free me. As for the reward, I can give you items from the study and some other magical artifacts. I won’t let you work for nothing!"

The voice echoed again, seemingly excitedly trembling.

"Alright! Senior, please tell me how I can assist in freeing you? I will do my best!"

Li Yunjing spoke confidently, his heart filled with disdain. Cooperation between a human and a demon, was that even possible?

Especially with the huge gap in power between them.

Those demon fiends highly valued the law of the jungle. If Li Yunjing were a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, cooperation might be achievable, but he was merely at Foundation Establishment Realm. He couldn’t believe that a Demon King would keep promises and offer him benefits.

"Alright! Exit the study, follow the small path to your left, and head to the third courtyard, always heading east. There’s a garden there, cross it, and you’ll reach my location."

The voice rose again, guiding Li Yunjing.

"Alright! Senior, but there are restrictions, arrays everywhere here. Will I be safe on this path?"

Li Yunjing tested the Demon King with his words!
