It was not worth wasting her energy on Li Yunjing.

The spiritual root test twenty days ago had already proven that Li Yunjing was beyond saving.

Yu Yunyi had already given up on Li Yunjing.

The two of them were parallel lines; in the days to come, there would never be any intersection between them again.

She had not expected that this small fry, whom she had inadvertently saved, would shock her once more.

Should she maintain a good relationship with him?

Perhaps this Li Yunjing still had a future and some utility value?

Young masters and misses of great families placed extreme importance on a person's value. If one had value, they were willing to extend an olive branch; if one lacked value, they wouldn't even spare them a glance...

This was the cultivation world!

Amidst the deceit and treachery, there lay a profound coldness.

Now, a bright spot had blossomed on Li Yunjing once again.

This caused Yu Yunyi's thoughts to begin to shift.

"Li Yunjing, I know your days in the Menial Hall are difficult. Without contribution points, your life will be even harder. How about this: go find Wang Weizhi later and tell him it's my wish for him to return 500 contribution points to you!"

Seeing that Li Yunjing had potential, Yu Yunyi immediately began to place her bets.

Yu Yunyi's decisiveness was shocking.

"Uh..."

Li Yunjing was startled; he hadn't expected the young miss to be so generous.

500 contribution points was a massive fortune!

It was enough to buy a top-grade offensive magic tool!

"Young Miss, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"

Li Yunjing marveled at Yu Yunyi's magnanimity, though he remained humble in his speech.

Such a vast amount of wealth would take him three years of working without eating or drinking to earn; how could he dare to accept it?

It was simply too much!

Li Yunjing felt a sense of unease in his heart.

"It's fine! Just consider it a loan. When you become successful in the future, you can pay me back!"

Yu Yunyi waved her onion-white jade hand and said grandly.

"Alright then! In that case, I shall take my leave."

His favorability toward Yu Yunyi soared once more. Li Yunjing nodded in agreement; he was truly in need of resources.

If he had an extra 500 contribution points, he could purchase more items at the Yueming Pavilion.

As for taking the contribution points home?

That would be redundant.

Li Yunjing was not so unwise!

These were merely a string of numbers!

They couldn't bring him anything!

Although Li Yunjing had only been in the cultivation world for a short time, he had long since seen through this world!

In the cultivation world, strength was everything. Without strength, possessing wealth was simply courting death!

"Mm! Keep it up! I hope that the next time I see you, you will have appeared in the outer sect!"

Yu Yunyi smiled. Watching Li Yunjing's departing back, her eyes flickered, as if she wanted to see through this person completely.

"Ling'er."

After a long while, Yu Yunyi parted her sandalwood lips.

"Young Miss!"

Ling'er responded from the side.

"Have someone investigate all of Li Yunjing's information, starting from when he first entered the sect. I want detailed records of everything he has experienced!"

Yu Yunyi instructed indifferently.

After speaking, the young miss lowered her head to continue reviewing the account books on the table.

"Yes, Young Miss!"

Ling'er felt a shiver in her heart and replied in a low voice.

Meanwhile, Li Yunjing had returned to the second floor and found Wang Weizhi.

"What? The Young Miss is gifting you 500 contribution points?"

Wang Weizhi was somewhat shocked; he had not expected Li Yunjing to be able to say such a thing.

If he hadn't seen with his own eyes that Li Yunjing and Ling'er were close and that they had gone up to the third floor to stay for a long time, he would have assumed Li Yunjing was a fraud trying to impersonate a friend of the young lady to swindle contribution points out of him.

"Of course it's true!"

Li Yunjing said irritably, "If you don't believe me, go up and ask her yourself!"

"Alright! I believe you."

Wang Weizhi smiled awkwardly and stopped dwelling on the issue.

As for whether Li Yunjing was lying to him?

It didn't matter.

If he really was trying to deceive him, this kid Li Yunjing was a dead man.

The Yu Family's Autumn Wind was not something that could be easily trifled with.

"Then shall I transfer the contribution points to you?"

Once Wang Weizhi had calmed down, he continued.

"Forget it! Contribution points don't mean much! Get me something that can improve my cultivation instead."

Li Yunjing waved his hand, rejecting the proposal.

"Good grief!"

Hearing this, Wang Weizhi marveled inwardly; this kid really knew how to spend money!

2,000 wasn't enough; he wanted to blow the entire 2,500!

Such extravagance was something even most inner sect disciples rarely dared to indulge in.

On the long road of cultivation, others would save their contribution points for long-term planning, keeping them for critical moments, yet Li Yunjing spent them as soon as he got them, never giving a thought to the future.

Wang Weizhi couldn't quite tell if this was right or wrong.

He had no way to pass judgment on such a matter.

"Brother Li, come with me! Let's head back to the reception room. This time, I'll bring out something rare to broaden your horizons!"

Since Li Yunjing only cared about increasing his strength, this was easy to handle, Wang Weizhi said mysteriously.

"Fine! I'll wait for you in the reception room! Go fetch the good stuff first!"

Li Yunjing's eyes lit up; he loved good things!

Not long after, Wang Weizhi pushed open the door to the reception room and walked in.

In his right hand, he carried a basket-like object covered by a blue cloth made of an unknown material, which actually blocked Li Yunjing's divine sense, preventing him from seeing what was inside.

"What is that?"

Li Yunjing leaned back in his chair and asked curiously.

"Hehe! This is the good stuff! Don't be impatient, I'll let you see for yourself!"

Wang Weizhi gave a mysterious smile, not revealing the truth to Li Yunjing.

He didn't sit down, but instead walked to a slightly more open area of the room and set the object down.

Wang Weizhi then began casting a series of hand seals toward the item beneath the blue cloth.

"Chi! Chi! Chi!"

Beams of white light erupted from beneath the blue cloth, suddenly turning the room a blinding white.

Li Yunjing was slightly startled; he could see with his naked eye that streams of elemental energy from outside the reception room were rushing in, forming a chilly little spiritual energy storm.

The surging heaven and earth spiritual energy gathered toward the object on the floor.

The blue cloth was blown upward by the spiritual energy, emitting a soft rustling sound.

"It's actually an array disk!"

Li Yunjing's eyes brightened, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

He hadn't expected Wang Weizhi to bring out something of such high quality!

This array disk looked like a birdcage, with grooves all around it that appeared to be specifically for placing spirit stones.

In the center of the array disk was a complex structure; the mana Wang Weizhi had injected was driving the core of the disk, which began to rotate like a precision machine.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was being drawn in by the core's activation, gathering from all directions.

In an instant, the spiritual energy density inside the reception room had increased by a full three times compared to before!
