Fellow Daoist, you indeed know your stuff!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Renju raised his thumb and laughed, \"This isn’t a unique copy, but for someone who wants to enter the Array Dao, it’s nothing short of a treasure! Priced at 1000!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh! I originally wanted to haggle a bit, but ’Array Atlas’ is too important to me, so I agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing sighed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For others, ’Array Atlas’ might take a lifetime to study, even spending so much time and losing the path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Li Yunjing, it was no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply leafed through it once and felt that the illustrations came alive as if they were moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those texts turned into images in his mind, clearly demonstrating the process of array setups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing’s wisdom was simply astounding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a book titled ’Array Atlas’ could definitely bring him immense assistance in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist, straightforward! I congratulate you in advance on your future great achievements in Array Dao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Li Yunjing didn’t haggle, Gong Renju felt relieved and flattered him continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only, in Gong Renju’s heart, he thought coldly that studying arrays was simply a path to self-destruction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators can live for 200 years, where’s the qualification to comprehend such a study?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s completely putting the cart before the horse, and when one’s lifespan runs out, it’s too late for regrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being obsessed with trivial pursuits ruins ambition!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Gong Renju’s assessment of Li Yunjing, secretly lowering his opinion of Li Yunjing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid has no future!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Array Dao is profound and vast, how could I fully comprehend it?

Are you treating this ’Mind Calming Wolf Bristle Brush’ as a Spiritual Artifact to sell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing’s voice turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the old fellow’s cultivation was higher than his, he didn’t intend to swallow the insult quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the other party showed no sincerity, he would change vendors; after all, he didn’t suffer a loss, as he had already memorized most of ’Array Atlas.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, if they part ways, he would still gain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Renju internally thought, \"Not good,\" clearly having treated the person opposite him as gullible and causing dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pretending to cough to cover his embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Renju laughed, \"In Talisman Making, how can one do without brush, ink, and paper? I sell as a set, not just for the brush alone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing sneered, acting as if he was about to pack up the ’Red Sun Giant Snake’ bones, meat chunks, and scales on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist! Please wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Renju quickly spoke, \"The set includes 1000 pieces of Talisman Paper, and a jar of ’Sharp-toothed Wolf’ blood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing pondered for a while; the Talisman Paper could be valued at 100 Spirit Stones, and the ’Sharp-toothed Wolf’ blood didn’t cost much, this old fellow still made several times the High-Grade Magical Artifact’s price!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This naturally made Li Yunjing extremely dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not acceptable! Those items should be valued at 300 Spirit Stones! Give me the remaining 700 Spirit Stones, or I’ll find another place to trade!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing said firmly, with no room for negotiation in his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Renju wore a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could speak, Li Yunjing had already stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright! I agree!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, seeing Li Yunjing about to leave, Gong Renju panicked and reluctantly agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his face turned unsightly, as if he suffered a loss on the deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing sneered, the old fellow was still trying to put on a show!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without further ado, he directly took out three Storage Bags and threw them on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are my items?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gong Renju reach to grab, Li Yunjing asked irritably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe! They’re here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Renju had no choice but to hand over his Storage Bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides checked their items; Gong Renju didn’t deceive, the item’s quality and quantity matched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Not all of them are here? Where’s the snake gall, poison sac, teeth? And the blood? Even the scales seemed incomplete as a set?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After checking for a while, Gong Renju questioned in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gong Daoist, what are you thinking? Could I have slaughtered a ’Red Sun Giant Snake’ perfectly? Naturally, those parts got damaged!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With impatience, Li Yunjing shot Gong Renju a look of irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All damaged?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Renju was skeptical, how come all the good items were missing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course it’s true! Truer than gold!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing had an air of certainty, his expression showing no sign of falsehood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn’t that mean I took a loss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Renju couldn’t find any flaws but still tried to complain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Loss? I gave you three Storage Bags; you return one, I gifted you two, which covers your loss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing coldly laughed, waving his hand grandly - \"That’s that; what can you do about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh! Fine! Fellow Daoist, are you sure you don’t want to buy anything else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Renju, still unwilling, wanted to regain the 700 Spirit Stones from Li Yunjing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it! I’ve bought enough arrays and talismans; buying more, I wouldn’t have time to learn them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yunjing shook his head, rejecting Gong Renju’s offer.\u003C\u002Fp>",1124,"2026-06-09T04:39:26.877Z",1,"novelbin.me","2c86b2a3e8ff581857c50ebd30c3ea99cf5317b30453f802335a2d27763bec49","sect-starting-with-comprehending-thunder-skill-chapter-305","sect-starting-with-comprehending-thunder-skill-chapter-304",1072,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsect-starting-with-comprehending-thunder-skill-cover.jpg"]
