Chapter 143: Chapter 118 Machine Tool (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Li Shiming emerged from a cave dwelling at the lower levels of Xun Peak, courteously seen off by a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

This was his eighth task of setting up Arrays for sect cultivators, and all the tasks he had chosen were rewarded with good deeds, even though the rewards were a bit meager, he had still accepted them.

Because the Arrays he set up maximized the power of the Arrays, he had gained a bit of fame among the late-stage Qi Refining disciples who needed Arrays.

Unfortunately, it had been twenty days, and he had only accepted eight tasks with good deeds, earning a total of four hundred good deeds, which felt slow to him.

This was also related to the fact that all the tasks he took were from Qi Refining cultivators, who had limited good deeds to offer.

The reason he spent a lot of time and energy taking tasks within the sect was that he was worried.

During the twenty days since he returned to the sect, aside from daily casting the “Spring Breeze Nourishing Technique” on Eagle Beak Island, he had stayed in the underground space.

Han Tianlei’s interrogation had ended, and the death of the Spirit Plant Mage on Eagle Beak Island was cleared of any relation to him, but the sect had yet to find the murderer.

Li Shiming knew that the Spirit Plant Mage had undoubtedly died due to retaliation from Holy Ice Sect, but he was not sure if Holy Ice Sect knew they had killed the wrong person.

Every time he returned to the sect, he checked the surveillance records to see if any suspicious cultivators had approached Eagle Beak Island, but there had been no new discoveries.

This did not mean it was safe, but fortunately, Eagle Beak Island was close to the Nine Peaks, and with the replacement of a stronger, smaller-scale Mountain Protection Array, the likelihood of an easy breach as before was small.

“Junior Li, take care!” Li Shiming was about to head to Spirit Mechanism Pavilion but was stopped by a cultivator as he was about to leave Xun Peak.

The one who stopped him was a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, who did not seem like an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator, giving him a pleasantly agreeable impression.

“Sorry to bother you, Junior Li, my name is Yun Ze, and my family operates Yun’s Trading House within the sect!” Yun Ze said, introducing himself with a smile.

“Here’s what I need, can you check when you can get these?” Li Shiming took out a paper list and handed it to Yun Ze to inquire.

Yun Ze was slightly taken aback; he had not expected Li Shiming to be prepared, and he also felt fortunate in his heart that it was he who had approached Li Shiming, or else this deal might have gone to another business.

The businesses accepted by the sect, authorized to operate within the sect were not the only ones.

These businesses were completely different from the markets outside the Nine Peaks; they only dealt with promising cultivators, conducting business was also a form of investment.

When a promising cultivator needed something, the businesses could provide as much assistance as possible.

As the promising cultivators grew, they would in turn bolster the businesses.

Moreover, this did not prevent the businesses from profiting, closing a deal with a promising cultivator was worth as much as dealing with dozens of cultivators in the external markets.

“Ten sticks of Soul Stabilizing Incense are not cheap, and some of the common items on the list are in stock, the rest will take half a month to arrive, the Array materials can be traded anytime!” Yun Ze explained while looking at the list.

“How many Spirit Stones will it cost in total?” Li Shiming had no shortage of Spirit Stones, not counting what he had obtained from Baili Jin Yan: he still had over two thousand Spirit Stones.

What he lacked was not Spirit Stones but good deeds.

“1680 Spirit Stones, aside from the common items which will be delivered tomorrow morning to your dwelling, consider them a gift from the business, they will be sent immediately upon arrival!” Yun Ze quickly calculated the total and said.

“Okay, here are the Spirit Stones!” Li Shiming took out the Spirit Stones and handed them over to Yun Ze swiftly.
