How Did You Get Here?

"Oh?"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow and said, "Thirty-five Qi Replenishing Pills. Spend all 300 contribution points!"

"This... all right!"

Seeing the determination in Li Yunjing's eyes, Wang Weizhi had no choice but to nod in agreement.

This junior brother really knew how to haggle!

With that head for business, if possible, he ought to be working in a shop. What kind of place was that Qiongze Peak?

It seemed to raise spirit beasts, didn't it?

What future could there possibly be there?

Junior Brother Li would be better off greasing a few palms and switching to another job.

Still, this Junior Brother Li was truly rich!

Who knew what background he had? He definitely was no ordinary person!

As Wang Weizhi mulled things over, he went downstairs and brought back the Qi Replenishing Pills.

After the transaction, Li Yunjing showed no reaction as he watched the contribution points get deducted from his Identity Token.

He merely looked at his Mystic Jade Inner Armor, Gale Boots, and the white jade bottle, a smile appearing on his face.

What use was having so much wealth?

If it could not be turned into strength, it was nothing more than a string of numbers!

Li Yunjing was no miser!

He had no particular interest in hoarding wealth, either.

Li Yunjing did not hide anything. He directly took off his Daoist robe and put on the Mystic Jade Inner Armor against his skin, then removed his boots and changed into the Gale Boots.

Once the Mystic Jade Inner Armor was worn close to the body, it felt cool and refreshing, extremely comfortable. The tiny jade plates were soft and caused no discomfort.

After putting on the Gale Boots, Li Yunjing took two steps and immediately felt lighter on his feet.

It gave him the sensation of moving like the wind.

These two artifacts were exceptionally comfortable to wear and felt wonderful!

Li Yunjing was immensely satisfied!

As for the Qi Replenishing Pills in the jade bottle, Li Yunjing opened the stopper and took a sniff. The medicinal fragrance was rich, and the scent was pure.

The pills were glossy black, each about the size of a thumb, exactly as recorded in the Divine Firmament Jade Records.

It seemed that the people of Yueming Pavilion did business fairly enough and had not played any underhanded tricks.

In truth, Li Yunjing had worried too much. Even if the Yu Family had ten times the courage, they would not dare falsify goods on the territory of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect.

Wouldn't that be courting death?

No matter how powerful a Lineage was, before a sect, it was merely a robust ant!

Within the Divine Firmament Dao Sect alone, at least several hundred large and small Lineages were attached to the sect.

Of course, powerful Lineages like the Yu Family and Fu Family were still as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

"How is it, Junior Brother Li? Are you satisfied? Would you like to test the defensive power of the Mystic Jade Inner Armor?"

Standing to one side, Wang Weizhi revealed a look of envy.

Even he did not own such fine artifacts.

Yet a menial disciple possessed two of them. It was enough to make others green with envy!

"Hahaha! No need to test it! I trust Yueming Pavilion one hundred percent!"

Li Yunjing waved his hand and spoke with great magnanimity.

Though he spoke polite words, the instant he put them on, he had already begun circulating his mana and sensing the artifacts, forming a resonance with them.

Li Yunjing had more or less immediately sensed the functions and capabilities of the Mystic Jade Inner Armor and Gale Boots.

As for Wang Weizhi's claim that they could block an attack from someone at the first level of Foundation Establishment and increase speed by thirty percent, Li Yunjing did not know. He could not feel their limits.

Still, as long as they satisfied him for the time being, that was enough.

As for how much truth there was in Wang Weizhi's words?

Li Yunjing merely smiled it off. He came from Earth Star and had seen plenty of commercial trickery.

In life, everything depended on acting. Who could truly trust whom?

If they possessed eighty percent of the stated power, Li Yunjing would be satisfied.

Could Li Yunjing really dare use the Mystic Jade Inner Armor to test an expert at Foundation Establishment?

"Senior Brother Wang, I'll take my leave!"

Li Yunjing smiled and continued.

With the transaction complete, both men were satisfied. It could be called a joyous outcome for all.

"Junior Brother Li, if you need anything next time, be sure to come find your senior brother!"

Faced with such a lavish customer as Li Yunjing, Wang Weizhi not only gave him the two taels of Spirit Tea he had promised earlier, but personally accompanied Li Yunjing downstairs.

"Of course! Of course! The next time I come shopping, I'll still look for you, Senior Brother Wang!"

Li Yunjing replied as he went downstairs.

As for whether he meant it, hehe...

"Eh? Aren't you Li Yunjing?"

All of a sudden, a clear voice rang out at the stairway.

"Who called for me? That voice sounds a little familiar?"

Hearing someone call his name, Li Yunjing could not help looking over. He saw a sixteen-year-old girl skipping toward him.

The girl wore a white dress and had two little braids. Her delicate face still carried a trace of childishness.

Wasn't this Yu Yunyi's personal maid, Ling'er?

"Ling'er, is that you? How did you get here?"

Li Yunjing was startled at first, then delighted. He had not expected to encounter an acquaintance here.

He subconsciously swept his gaze around, searching for something...

"Pfft!"

Ling'er covered her mouth and laughed, teasing, "It really is you! What are you looking for?"

"Hehe! Where is the Eldest Young Lady?"

Li Yunjing gave an awkward laugh, but still asked.

"Hm? You two know each other?"

Wang Weizhi was startled. He sized Li Yunjing up and down, seemingly unable to believe it.

Could this kid actually know the Yu Family's Eldest Young Lady?

Yet one was at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm, while the other was at the eighth level. No matter how he looked at it, there should be no connection between them.

"Yes! Li Yunjing is a friend of our Yu Family."

After thinking it over, Ling'er smiled. That seemed to be the only suitable way to describe him.

"How have you been getting by? You're only at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm?"

Ling'er smiled at Li Yunjing again.

"Er..."

Being mocked by such an innocent little girl left Li Yunjing speechless. It was truly embarrassing!

"Hehe! Did you come here to see my Eldest Young Lady?"

Ling'er quickly asked.

"No, this is my first time in Sunset Valley. I came to buy a few artifacts. I didn't expect to end up here. Is this a Yu Family business?"

Li Yunjing asked.

"Of course! Yueming Pavilion is all Yu Family property, spread throughout the major markets of the entire Great Ming Dynasty!"

Ling'er said proudly.

"So that's how it is! Then we really are fated!"

Li Yunjing smiled faintly and nodded.

He was somewhat shocked inwardly. Was the Yu Family's business really this vast?

It actually spread throughout the Great Ming Dynasty!

"Oh, right! My Eldest Young Lady is on the third floor. Shall I take you upstairs to pay your respects to her?"

Ling'er said with a grin.

"Sure!"

Li Yunjing blurted out.

Only after the words left his mouth did he realize that he seemed to have lost his composure.

Especially since that little girl was looking at him with a meaningful, teasing smile.

"Then what benefit will you give me for reporting your arrival?"

Ling'er continued.

"Er... I just spent all my contribution points..."

Li Yunjing looked embarrassed.

When was a man at his most awkward?

At a time like this—when he reached into his pockets and found them completely empty.

He had lost face before a woman!
