Would you like to check it out now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it! If you go on, you’ll be scared to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing chuckled, \"Just give me the prepared accounts for me to sign!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing understood that Lv Ruoxi and her people were just here to benefit themselves and had no intention of investigating the \"Myriad Swords Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since that was the case, his investigation results here were just worthless papers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Myriad Swords Sect\" gave him 100 Spirit Stones, just as tea money, hard work fee, and confidentiality fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else had received benefits and the outcome was already decided, so why should he be the bad guy, running around investigating and making himself look bad?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swiftly handling the matter, he could spend the remaining days doing his own things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Yanshi had profited, performed well and would return anytime soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to seize the moment, sell off his surplus items, and exchange them for Spirit Stones and materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good! Good! Brother Li, please wait a moment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Yanshi was delighted again, Li Yunjing’s transparency bringing him great joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Yanshi took out another prepared account book for Li Yunjing to review.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing glanced at it and saw that the numbers were reasonably reliable; the \"Myriad Swords Sect\" wouldn’t dare exaggerate too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swipe, swipe, swipe!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With big strokes, Li Yunjing signed his name and gained his freedom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, Li Yunjing reminded, \"Don’t forget to organize that trade fair for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Li, rest assured! Tomorrow morning I will come to you with the recommendation letter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Yanshi pounded his chest in assurance, indicating this was no problem for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the steward of the \"Myriad Swords Sect,\" he had significant influence among the major merchant associations in \"Myriad Swords City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though \"Treasure Pavilion\" had a big background, they still had to show respect to the host in \"Myriad Swords City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good! I’ll wait for your good news tomorrow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing nodded and leisurely returned to the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at his residence, Li Yunjing found the yard where \"Shenxiao Dao Sect\" stayed completely empty; no one had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh...these guys must have gained plenty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing no one, Li Yunjing shook his head and went straight back to his room to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held the \"Celestial Thunder Stone\" in his hand and played with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crackling arc made Li Yunjing feel very comfortable; the Thunder Spirit Root physique naturally aligned him with lightning, making him fond of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This treasure should be kept! Directly absorbing the Thunder Power within the Celestial Thunder Stone would be too wasteful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering, Li Yunjing decided to keep the treasure and not absorb the contained Thunder Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winter passed and spring approached, not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, with the warmth and the arrival of spring thunder, Li Yunjing naturally had ways to absorb the spring thunder of the heavens and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in the \"Five Thunders True Method,\" there were many ways to store Thunder Powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, Li Yunjing could naturally collect enough Thunder Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about it, how powerful is a lightning bolt slicing through the sky when thunder strikes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Li Yunjing couldn’t absorb a whole lightning bolt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a little residual energy would be enough for Li Yunjing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would never lack Thunder Power in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the \"Celestial Thunder Stone\" could be used to forge Spiritual Artifacts, classified as high-level materials like Geng Metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a good item, absolutely the precious treasure at the bottom of Li Yunjing’s collection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps in the future, he would have the chance to get a Spiritual Artifact forged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the best way for the \"Celestial Thunder Stone\" to realize its maximum value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the evening, fellow disciples returned to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t care about Li Yunjing being the first to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These fellow disciples just assumed Li Yunjing returned a bit earlier than them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Inner Sect Disciples didn’t realize that Li Yunjing spent the morning shopping, the afternoon drinking, and returned for cultivation in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t do any serious work!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the three main stewards and the True Disciple Lv Ruoxi hadn’t returned, clearly having been invited by the \"Myriad Swords Sect\" for more leisure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s true that people have different fates, and treatments vary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being on different paths from these Inner Sect bootlickers, Li Yunjing had no desire to chat with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shut himself away for cultivation, ignoring what others were doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning, Deng Yanshi arrived, bringing the invitation Li Yunjing wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The trade fair opens today, lasting for three days. Brother Li, you can go check it out now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Yanshi said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good! I’ll go take a look now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing nodded in satisfaction, appreciating the benefits of local influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Yunjing sought out \"Treasure Pavilion’s\" people, he could also get trade fair qualifications, but it would take more effort—there was nothing more straightforward than having someone arrange it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, Li Yunjing headed to Market Street again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the trade fair today, he certainly wouldn’t miss it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Treasure Pavilion’s\" location was prominent; Li Yunjing noticed it yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Deng Yanshi accompanying him, he couldn’t visit the major merchants to clear their stock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can show some wealth, but not expose tens of thousands of Spirit Stones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little wealth would only evoke envy, not prompt reckless risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Yunjing displayed all his wealth, he’d fear someone might ambush him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing’s flaunting was within a certain range, never overly extravagant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with Li Yunjing out alone, he was not worried about being targeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike other cultivators, Li Yunjing didn’t use disguises like straw hats, veils, changing bone structure, or shifting body shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These measures seemed meaningless to Li Yunjing; he was genuinely unafraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This trade fair wouldn’t involve transactions amounting to tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few thousand Spirit Stones’ worth of trade was merely small talk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn’t care about such wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for loose cultivators, he didn’t fear them robbing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they truly made a move, who knows who would rob whom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Treasure Pavilion\" doors were wide open, and Li Yunjing walked straight in. Soon, a clerk came forward to greet him, asking, \"Immortal Master, what would you like to buy? Our ’Treasure Pavilion’ has all kinds of cultivation materials.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing did not reply, he looked around. \"Treasure Pavilion\" was spacious, with only one layer spanning over a thousand square meters, filled with junior cultivators talking to the staff, preparing for transactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m here for the trade fair!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing casually mentioned, and the invitation from \"Treasure Pavilion\" fell into the clerk’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clerk was shocked, realizing the person was no ordinary Immortal Master, and quickly said, \"Immortal Master, please wait while I show the invitation to our shopkeeper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing nodded and casually stood in the shop, examining the items for sale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Li Yunjing’s peripheral vision, the clerk quickly reached the counter and spoke quietly to an elderly shopkeeper, who occasionally looked up at Li Yunjing and nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the shopkeeper walked towards Li Yunjing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This old one is the shopkeeper of ’Treasure Pavilion’, Tian Shopkeeper. Since fellow Daoist is here for the trade fair, please follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man’s eyes flashed and his face was full of smiles as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing nodded without saying much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attire was enough for the experienced shopkeeper to recognize him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciple of \"Shenxiao Dao Sect\" was a walking advertisement, no more words needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While traveling, Li Yunjing needed to exhibit the aura of a powerful sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man saw Li Yunjing’s aloof demeanor and didn’t say more, gesturing, \"Honored guest, this way please!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man led Li Yunjing up the stairs to the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the second floor stairway, four cultivators of the Qi Cultivation Realm guarded the entrance, preventing anyone without an invitation from ascending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing glanced at the four, noting their Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer status, with palpable auras for intimidation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such cultivation was acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reaching the second floor, contrary to Li Yunjing’s expectations, the old man continued to the third floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the third floor entrance, four cultivators of the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer guarded the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, \"Treasure Pavilion\" took meticulous measures for the trade fair’s security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man briefed the four guards briefly, then said to Li Yunjing, \"Fellow Daoist, this is the trade fair site, you may enter at your leisure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have business downstairs, so I’ll take my leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing nodded, taking a few steps to the end of the stairs, and pushed the door open, entering \"Treasure Pavilion’s\" third floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third floor was quite spacious, around five hundred square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Set up like an auction house, the room featured \"Treasure Pavilion\" staff on the stage, and about sixty cultivators sitting below, all trade fair participants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing’s arrival didn’t draw special attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few curiously glanced at Li Yunjing, with one individual staring at him for a long time, seemingly surprised by his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing’s Divine Sense noted someone watching him and immediately sensed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing followed the gaze and surveyed those individuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially lingering on the one who watched him longest, he nodded slightly in acknowledgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t expect this person here. Did he sell me the ’Celestial Thunder Stone’ to buy something priceless?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing’s eyes brightened; this person probably had over 5000 Low Grade Spirit Stones!\u003C\u002Fp>",1760,"2026-06-09T04:39:26.878Z",1,"novelbin.me","2030e78b91897be102f2e0e92216c3457d4aa9ca9a4d713d519aeea100bd05e7","sect-starting-with-comprehending-thunder-skill-chapter-118","sect-starting-with-comprehending-thunder-skill-chapter-116",1072,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsect-starting-with-comprehending-thunder-skill-cover.jpg"]
