Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 29 A Great Fortune (Seeking further reading, monthly votes, and recommendations)
"How much will it cost?"

The first outer disciple to complain asked, unwilling to give up.

"This is a matter for all of us! There are seven fellow disciples in 'Yaxiangyuan'. If each of us contributes ten spirit stones, we will raise a total of seventy spirit stones!"

Yue Zhouwang gritted his teeth and gave a number.

"hiss……"

Everyone else was shocked; this was already their monthly income.

"Don't worry about it! If the 'Enforcement Hall's' arbitration results come out, we might be severely punished, or even lose our current jobs! If we're assigned a dangerous task, hehe..."

As Yue Zhouwang spoke, he let out a cold laugh and fell silent.

"Alright! That's the only way."

The outer disciples present reluctantly opened their "storage bags" and began taking out spirit stones.

As for the two who were not present, Yue Zhouwang directly helped them pay for their expenses.

Fifteen minutes later, all the dishes from the kitchen were served.

Yue Zhouwang and his group returned to the private room.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Yue Zhouwang looked at Ma Xingyuan and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Ma, how about you go outside and fetch a pot of tea?"

Ma Xingyuan was taken aback, realizing that they had something to say to Li Yunjing.

I don't want him to know the specifics.

He wasn't tactless; he immediately stood up, nodded, and was about to turn and leave.

"sit down!"

But Li Yunjing's voice made him stop again.

Li Yunjing looked at Yue Zhouwang and the others and said, "Ma Xingyuan is a brother I met in the sect. You don't need to hide anything from him."

"Mr. Li is a true friend!"

Hearing Li Yunjing's words, Ma Xingyuan felt a warmth in his heart and sat down again with a thud.

The others just laughed awkwardly.

"Hehe! This is just a small token of our appreciation. Please have some tea, Young Master Li."

Having no other choice, Yue Zhouwang took out a "storage bag" from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Li Yunjing.

"Um……"

After a long while, Li Yunjing picked up the "storage bag," opened it, scanned it with his divine sense, and counted the amount: seventy low-grade spirit stones!
Yue Zhouwang, Wang Yun, and the others stared intently at Li Yunjing, trying to glean something from his expression.

"laugh……"

Li Yunjing chuckled, then tossed the "storage bag" onto the table.

"Ok?"

Yue Zhouwang and the others were stunned for a moment, then their faces darkened. They were still not satisfied?
You're just a menial disciple right now; your contribution points plus spirit stones are enough for you to earn for a year!
Several outer disciples were very dissatisfied with Li Yunjing's performance.

However, out of respect for Li Yunjing's status, these people dared not speak out against his anger.

"Fu Chao is my friend!"

"We're on equal footing, and now I'm expected to humble myself and beg him for help with something so trivial?"

"Just for a mere seventy low-grade spirit stones?"

Li Yunjing surveyed the entire room with disdain, his voice icy cold.

Facing this group of outer disciples whose cultivation levels were higher than his, Li Yunjing did not tolerate their bad habits at all!

This reprimand caused the atmosphere at the table to change abruptly.

A group of outer sect disciples remained silent, their faces showing embarrassment. The entire place was quiet for a long time before Li Yunjing finally spoke: "Two thousand spirit stones! That's the bottom line! If you agree, pay the spirit stones; if you don't, pretend this never happened!"

"hiss……"

Yue Zhouwang and Wang Yun both gasped in shock.

This young master Li is really ruthless!

Two thousand spirit stones, that's almost three hundred spirit stones per person!
If we don't count their under-the-table income, that's three years' worth of their salary!

Of course, the Shenxiao Dao Sect did not distribute spirit stones in the entire amount; they also distributed contribution points.

The number of contribution points is greater than the number of spirit stones.

The spirit stones distributed are basically enough to meet the normal cultivation needs of cultivators at this level.

It's not about letting them use it as currency.

In the Shenxiao Dao Sect, contribution points are everything; anything can be exchanged or traded using contribution points.

However, if it is a transaction outside the sect, contribution points can be exchanged for spirit stones, which will not affect the sect cultivators' ability to go out on business.

Sect cultivators are also willing to use contribution points because they can buy anything that is common in the cultivation world within the sect, and at a much lower price, making it very cost-effective.

Within the sect, some even went so far as to buy up contribution points, purchase supplies in the sect's shops, and then resell them in the cultivation world, making a profit from the price difference.

Therefore, Yue Zhouwang and Wang Yun may have looked pitiful, but in reality, they were just hiding their true abilities!

These old guys have been in "Yaxiangyuan" for many years and have long since made a fortune.

He's just a low-key person and hasn't shown it off.

Just think about it, the number of people dining at "Ya Xiang Yuan" every day is as high as tens of thousands.

Each person embezzles one bowl of spirit rice per instance, which amounts to tens of thousands of bowls of spirit rice every day.

This alone—tens of thousands of bowls of spirit rice—if taken to the cultivation world and wholesaled, would fetch a huge sum of spirit stones!
Of course, the scope of "Yaxiangyuan" is not limited to just this little bit of spirit rice.

The reason these people were so afraid of the people in the "Enforcement Hall" was because of their corruption.

If it's just a fight, it's not a big deal.

We won't cause them any serious harm.

However, the people from the "Enforcement Hall" got involved. If they continue to dig deeper, they will definitely find out these shady dealings, and then they will be completely finished!
One of the reasons they dared not ask their superiors for help was that they were afraid their superiors would find out how much wealth they had embezzled!
When the time comes, the deacon above will definitely deal with them!
The wealth accumulated over the years may not be able to be preserved!

Therefore, Yue Zhouwang and Wang Yun thought of Li Yunjing and asked this young master for help.

They saw that Li Yunjing was young and had low cultivation, so they guessed he didn't have much knowledge or experience.

Say some nice words, arrange a banquet, and give some spirit stones, and the matter is considered settled.

However, the current situation clearly shows that they miscalculated.

The young master of a great cultivation family is indeed no fool!

This young master isn't so easy to deal with!
He asked for 2000 spirit stones right off the bat!

The group exchanged glances. Yue Zhouwang, feeling helpless, could only say, "Young Master Li, we don't have many spirit stones left. We don't even have enough. How about we give you 2000 contribution points?"

However, they were at a disadvantage and needed someone's help, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree to this harsh condition.

"Yeah! Okay!"

Li Yunjing nodded calmly and then tossed his identity token onto the table with a clatter.

Ma Xingyuan, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, looking completely dumbfounded.

You're talking about two thousand spirit stones all the time, do you have to go this far?

He's been in the cultivation world for seven or eight years, and he still doesn't have 100 spirit stones left!
It's really annoying to compare people to each other!
