Seeking Help and Suppressing Bandits Again

"Well, the Jin Household has given such a generous gift; Luozhen Sect has received a great favor." Li Yunjing shook his head slightly.

Next time the Jin Household hosts a banquet, the gifts from the Luozhen Sect must be of high quality.

After tidying up a bit, Li Yunjing then left his cave abode.

As the guests gradually arrived, the Serene Valley became lively once again.

Before long, the day of the banquet arrived.

The spiritual food served at today's Golden Core Elixir Ceremony was prepared by Hou Zihao and the head chef of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion Restaurant in Xunxian Town.

Li Yunjing actually wanted to invite a more famous chef.

However, these chefs simply couldn't find the time, since good cooks never lack opportunities to work.

The places they stayed in were places where money was made like water.

I don't have time to take on side jobs outside.

It's just that Drunken Immortal Pavilion in Xunxian Town is currently busy with expansion, so the chefs are taking a break and that's why they have time to come.

One after another, dishes of spiritual food were served.

The food looked and smelled delicious, instantly whetting the appetites of many guests.

Then, Li Yunjing and Ding Qifeng appeared.

These are the two main characters of today's Golden Core Elixir Ceremony.

Just like the previous Foundation Establishment Banquet, Li Yunjing gave an opening speech.

The content wasn't anything profound; it was simply a welcome to the guests and an expression of deep gratitude from the Luozhen Sect.

Ding Qifeng also said a few words.

After that, Li Yunjing decided not to waste any more of everyone's time and officially began the banquet.

Li Yunjing and Ding Qifeng walked together and also planned to take a seat.

"Yunjing, I plan to refine a batch of pills for the guests who are coming later. What about you?" Ding Qifeng asked curiously.

It was customary for Ding Qifeng to refine a batch of tea for his guests.

Like when Li Yunjing went to attend the Golden Core Ceremony of the True Person of the Departing Maple Sect,

True Person Departing Maple Sect then gave a sermon to the arriving guests.

This is a way of giving back to our guests.

Although Ding Qifeng has only just entered the Golden Core, he has a wealth of experience in alchemy.

As Alchemist, Ding Qifeng's natural task was to provide feedback through alchemy.

Li Yunjing thought for a moment, but couldn't come up with a good solution.

"Very well, then I will give a sermon to the guests who have arrived," Li Yunjing said.

Preaching is perhaps the most common way to give feedback.

This method is quite good for cultivators below the Golden Core stage.

This might allow them to avoid many detours on their cultivation path.

Even cultivators at the Golden Core stage can benefit from it.

Exchanging cultivation experiences among cultivators of the same realm is also of great help to their cultivation.

"Preaching... that's fine too." Ding Qifeng nodded.

As they were talking, a rainbow of light suddenly descended from the sky and landed directly in front of Li Yunjing.

"Yunjing, you're late."

The rainbow light faded, revealing Xiao Tianxing.

"Senior Brother Xiao, it's not late, the time is just right." Li Yunjing smiled.

"Yunjing, Cao Lie and the others asked me to pass on a message to you. They have something to attend to and cannot come. They hope you will understand," Xiao Tianxing.

Li Yunjing shook his head. "It's alright, it's alright, the sentiment is enough."

As Li Yunjing spoke, he smiled and invited Xiao Tianxing to sit down at the banquet.

The main banquet venue was Spirit Cuisine Pavilion.

Spirit Cuisine Pavilion specially reserved several private rooms.

Li Yunjing had Ding Qifeng take Xiao Tianxing to the private room where Wang Qianxue was.

He himself went to the private room where the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance were located.

As soon as they entered, Sikong Ying quickly gestured for Li Yunjing to sit down.

This time there's good wine and food; if he doesn't drink to his heart's content with Li Yunjing, it would be a complete waste.

As soon as Li Yunjing sat down, Sikong Ying personally poured him wine.

"Senior Sikong, there's no rush. There's something I need to discuss with everyone here," Li Yunjing said.

Sikong Ying put down the wine pot. "What's the rush?"

Li Yunjing recounted the events at the Departing Maple Sect.

"These Heavenly Star Bandits are so rampant, we must strike hard."

"If they dare to kidnap someone this time, they'll dare to kill someone next time. We can't just sit idly by," Li Yunjing said.

Sikong Ying nodded slightly. "What you said is right, the problem of the Heavenly Star Bandits cannot be ignored."

Just a few days ago, the Immortal Alliance headquarters sent over the latest mission list.

One of the tasks on the list was to suppress bandits.

The Immortal Alliance Immortal Alliance headquarters hopes that its branches in various regions will actively suppress the bandits.

You will gain one merit point for each bandit you kill.

If you accumulate 100 merit points, you can exchange them for the Extreme Crossing Boat, a powerful weapon.

And this is just the beginning; the more merits you accumulate, the higher the level and authority of the treasures you can exchange for.

I saw that if you have a thousand merit points, you can even exchange them for the Primal Magnetic Divine Light Formation.

Sikong Ying's words shocked everyone present.

The Extreme Crossing Boat and the Primal Magnetic Divine Light Formation that Sikong Ying mentioned are powerful tools developed by the Immortal Alliance headquarters.

The Extreme Crossing Boat is a large spacecraft with extremely high speed.

Furthermore, this spaceship is equipped with numerous powerful weapons.

For example, the Five Elements Divine Lightning, or the Heaven-Burning Golden Flame, etc.

These powerful weapons can all be released through the array on the spaceship.

Once released, even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't be able to stop it.

However, the cost of building a Extreme Crossing Boat is too high.

Therefore, the Immortal Alliance headquarters generally does not open the Extreme Crossing Boat to the public.

Even local branches struggle to obtain them.

Right now, all you need to do is kill a hundred bandit cultivators to get the exchange privileges. That's way too easy.

The same applies to the subsequent Primal Magnetic Divine Light Formation.

"So, this time, we have no choice but to suppress the bandits." Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow.

He was also quite interested in Extreme Crossing Boat.

Although he was True Disciple, his ranking in the Luozhen Sect was only at the lower end.

However, acquiring a Extreme Crossing Boat is not an easy task.

Now is the perfect opportunity.

"Suppress them, we must suppress them." Sikong Ying's gaze was resolute.

"The Heavenly Star Bandits committed many evil deeds and there is nothing to forgive them for."

However, the Heavenly Star Bandits are hiding in Heavenly Star Mountain. The terrain of Heavenly Star Mountain is complicated, and we are not familiar with the environment. If we rush in, we will probably become turtles in a jar.

Let us go back and discuss this matter in detail so that we can formulate a plan.

Li Yunjing nodded. "Yes, I'll also go and discuss it with my master's wife and Senior Brother Xiao to see if the Immortal Alliance headquarters can provide assistance."

After the matter was settled, Li Yunjing left the private room.

Sikong Ying tried his best to persuade Li Yunjing to stay and wanted to drink with him.

Li Yunjing strongly refused.

He didn't want to drink again; it felt unpleasant.

As soon as Li Yunjing stepped out of the private room, he ran into Shen Chun.

Shen Chun immediately bowed to Li Yunjing upon seeing him.

"Greetings, Sect Leader."

Li Yunjing nodded. "You've come at the right time. Come on, let's go to the banquet together."

Shen Chun nodded, talking as he walked.

"Sect Leader, there's something I need to discuss with you."

I planned to hold an auction at the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion. The matter was largely completed, but I encountered some obstacles, so I had to come to see the sect leader.

"Resistance? What kind of resistance?" Li Yunjing asked curiously.

Shen Chun responded, "They are other treasure pavilions in Xunxian Town."

The Luozhen Treasure Pavilion has developed far too quickly and grown larger and larger, squeezing the survival space of other treasure pavilions to the point of near extinction.

Now that the auction is being held again, the reputation of the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion will only grow, and other treasure pavilions in Xunxian Town will likely struggle to survive.

Therefore, they didn't want our Luozhen Treasure Pavilion to hold an auction, and they recently came to my door to discuss this matter.

Holding this auction is something I've been planning for a long time, and it would be a real shame to give it up.

But don't give up, there are other treasure pavilions...

I truly didn't know what to do, so I came to seek guidance from the sect leader.

Li Yunjing stopped in his tracks.

He never imagined things would develop to this point!
