CHAPTER 120: CHAPTER 120 HIGH-TIER MATERIALS (REQUEST FOR MONTHLY VOTES)

Everyone laughed loudly upon hearing the man’s demand; many even whistled and jeered, mocking him for being crazy about money.

"Humph! I haven’t finished speaking. I can add 300 Spirit Stones!"

The tall and thin cultivator, feeling extremely embarrassed after being ridiculed, reluctantly added.

His original intention was to see if there were any fools or newcomers he could deceive and scam!

Unexpectedly, the plan hadn’t even started before he was jeered, causing him to lose face for nothing.

Luckily, he came disguised; otherwise, if recognized, this incident would surely spread, and he wouldn’t be able to live anymore.

Simultaneously, he cursed these rude people in his heart, blaming them for ruining his plan.

But the tall and thin cultivator had angered the crowd, and didn’t dare to argue, pretending he heard nothing.

"500 Spirit Stones, if you want to sell, I can trade with you."

Seeing this scene, Li Yunjing chuckled and spoke casually.

After returning, he still needed to entertain Yu Yunyi. This Thunder Shock Leopard of good quality could be processed by "Yaxiang Garden" to make a delicious dish.

"Hehe! Esteemed Daoist, your price is a bit low..."

The tall and thin cultivator tried to continue.

But Li Yunjing didn’t give him the chance, coldly interrupting, "This is the final price. If you sell, you get the Spirit Stones; if you don’t, pretend I never said anything."

"Er..."

The face hidden under the black robe of the tall and thin cultivator looked extremely ugly. After some thought, he said in a deep voice, "I agree!"

Originally, he thought this "Shenxiao Dao Sect" boy was a rookie and planned to raise the price. Who would’ve thought the other party gave him no face and directly rejected?

The tall and thin cultivator was extremely uncomfortable!

In his view, earning less felt like a loss!

Perfectly killing a Thunder Shock Leopard was a life-and-death matter; he took great risks.

But no one cared about his life or death, only whether the Thunder Shock Leopard was cheap.

"Go fetch the Thunder Shock Leopard!"

Li Yunjing remained impassive, took out a Storage Bag, threw out 500 Low Grade Spirit Stones to the caped man, and gestured for him to approach for the transaction.

"Er..."

The caped man was initially stunned, then smiled bitterly.

This "Shenxiao Dao Sect" Outer Sect Disciple was truly arrogant!

What did he take him for?

A follower?

This young man’s cultivation is only at Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, while he is at Qi Cultivation Great Perfection!

In terms of age, he is old enough to be his grandfather!

This is absolutely against the norms in the Cultivation Realm!

However, the caped man is currently in need, and with the vast power of "Shenxiao Dao Sect," he dared not offend.

Facing Li Yunjing’s overbearing attitude, the caped man acted like a follower, taking the 500 Spirit Stones and went on stage to trade with the tall and thin cultivator.

Li Yunjing’s demeanor made others frequently glance sideways, internally revering, "Shenxiao Dao Sect disciples are indeed arrogant!"

Many people looked at this charming man with deep-set eyes, sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, and a majestic presence.

Li Yunjing exuded the noble temperament of a great sect disciple with every gesture, making many loose cultivators feel inferior.

Before long, the caped man completed the transaction and returned with the Thunder Shock Leopard.

Li Yunjing didn’t even say "thank you," directly taking the Thunder Shock Leopard and storing it in the "Hundred Treasures Pouch."

This action made the caped man smile bitterly again, thinking, "Luckily, I came disguised. Otherwise, if someone familiar saw me today, I wouldn’t be able to stay in ’Myriad Swords City’ anymore."

The caped man didn’t realize Li Yunjing was deliberately giving him a hard time.

Li Yunjing intended to use this transaction to crush him.

Make the caped man fear him, and establish a master-servant relationship!

Since learning of the "Celestial Thunder Stone" origin location, Li Yunjing decided to acquire it.

Li Yunjing felt a deep connection with thunder, likely due to his hidden "Thunder Spirit Root" attribute.

As long as Li Yunjing obtained a significant amount of "Celestial Thunder Stones" and crafted a Thunder Element Spiritual Artifact.

Li Yunjing believed that upon entering the Inner Sect, he could sweep through all Inner Sect disciples and be invincible in "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

This was a heaven-sent opportunity!

Besides the authenticity of the information, the greatest obstacle was the Qi Cultivation Peak of the caped man and his newly acquired "Foundation Establishment Pill."

With hope for Foundation Establishment, the man might not be honest and could hide important matters, thinking of tricking Li Yunjing and later claiming the treasure for himself after breaking through.

This possibility, Li Yunjing believed, was highly likely!

Among cultivators, there is no mutual affection.

Especially since Li Yunjing doesn’t know the caped man and shares no bond.

Qi Cultivation Great Perfection and taking the "Foundation Establishment Pill" would require about three to six months of seclusion; the eighth grade "Foundation Establishment Pill" he had could yield results sooner!

Perhaps by May this year, Li Yunjing must complete the treasure hunt operation.

Otherwise, if the man breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Realm and returns to the treasure location, he might leave nothing for Li Yunjing.

For now, Li Yunjing suppressing the man and intimidating him with the name of "Shenxiao Dao Sect" seemed safer.

The psychological warfare began the moment they concluded the transaction!

Regarding calling for help?

Such an enormous wealth, not even trusting Yu Yunyi, Li Yunjing wouldn’t call anyone!

From the start, he hadn’t considered this possibility!

Even the worst possibility, Li Yunjing considered: knowing the caped man’s background.

Even if he claimed the treasure, Li Yunjing could challenge him later when his cultivation was higher, and if opposed, kill him!

That was a better choice than trusting Yu Yunyi!

Faced with immense wealth, Li Yunjing dared not test anyone’s integrity.

Despite great affection for Yu Yunyi, having not experienced life and death together, Li Yunjing remained vigilant.

This didn’t mean Li Yunjing harbored ill feelings towards Yu Yunyi, just instinctive self-defense.

This cautiousness was Li Yunjing’s security baseline!

The tall and thin cultivator having received the Spirit Stones, paid the fee, and walked away.

The next person coming out was the red-clothed woman.

Seeing her appearance, the crowd showed curiosity again.

This woman seemed wealthy. What rare and astonishing thing would she bring out?

"A piece of ’Celestial Craft Divine Ice,’ high-grade material for crafting Spiritual Artifacts, has a crucial role in enhancing and stabilizing the crafting process and increasing success rate! 20000 Spirit Stones, anyone interested?"

The red-clothed woman’s words stirred the crowd once more.

This woman, when she acted, it instantly shocked the entire place.

Simultaneously, curiosity filled everyone’s hearts, wondering from which powerful faction she hailed.

She even dared to auction such a treasure?

This is something Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators dream of!

Several concealed "Myriad Swords Sect" disciples couldn’t sit still. In such mid-sized sects, neither the sect’s senior brother nor the stewards possessed such treasures!

Even Li Yunjing wondered about the woman’s identity, might she be from a great sect too?

She was definitely not among the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" members in this expedition; Lv Ruoxi had brought out over ten male disciples, no senior or junior sisters!

"Good stuff! I’ll take it!"

Seeing no others responding, the red-clothed woman looked somewhat disappointed. At this moment, Li Yunjing smiled and replied.

"Alright!"

The red-clothed woman cheered excitedly.

Recently, she suffered from a shortage of Spirit Stones; otherwise, she wouldn’t have had someone secretly publicize the "Foundation Establishment Pill" transaction news before the conference.

An eighth-grade "Foundation Establishment Pill" went for a high price, but it didn’t meet her needs, thus she painfully decided to trade the "Celestial Craft Divine Ice."

Li Yunjing was naturally thrilled; his "Five Dragon Wheel" lacked top materials, and as a water element variant, an ice spiritual object was perfect for crafting the "Five Dragon Wheel!"

With this item and his Geng Metal, Li Yunjing needed to collect three more elemental spiritual objects along with some auxiliary materials for possibly crafting the "Five Dragon Wheel."

"Proceed with the transaction!"

Li Yunjing still didn’t stand up, arrogantly tossing a Storage Bag to the caped man for the exchange.

"Yes!"

The caped man’s voice slightly trembled; whose young master was this?

Such magnanimity was terrifying!

Since meeting Li Yunjing, the young master casually spent 31500 Low Grade Spirit Stones!

All cash Spirit Stones!

Despite the young master being at Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, the caped man was truly frightened!

Like the caped man, many initially harbored ill intentions towards Li Yunjing, plotting to rob him, but now felt completely deterred!

No one bothers you without money!

With some money, many plot against you!

But when wealthy beyond measure, many reconsider!

Everyone saw Li Yunjing as a significant figure in "Shenxiao Dao Sect," possibly protected by a hidden Guardian!

Such a person, who dared offend?

Everyone valued their own life. If lost, everything was gone.

Even the Treasure Pavilion’s brocade-clad strong man respected Li Yunjing, feeling a slight fear.

The Treasure Pavilion was rich and powerful, but its masters wielded the strength, not the brocade-clad man. He feared Li Yunjing’s stature!

Young masters like Li Yunjing, domineering and ruthless, inclined towards vendetta killings over minor offenses.

Li Yunjing was brazenly arrogant from arrival, not hiding his face – an extreme confidence!

Why be confident with Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer?

Of course, due to his powerful backers!

Many, including the brocade-clad man, speculated similarly.

Once the transaction completed, Li Yunjing happily received the "Celestial Craft Divine Ice."

The red-clothed woman seemingly having gathered enough Spirit Stones, didn’t present another treasure, contentedly returning to her seat.

The actions of Li Yunjing and the red-clothed woman clarified to all; these two belonged to a different echelon, likely of great origins!
