Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1274 - 551: Flaunting Wealth

The entire island was barren, without any resources.

The Master of Fiery Fire looked at the small island above, a glint of excitement in his eyes: "Another three hundred miles forward, and we’ll reach Four Seas City."

He turned around, took out a map, and handed it to Li Yunjing: "This is a record of the Fire Dragon’s habits. Vice Sect Leader Li, you just need to lure it here, and I will set up the ’Heaven-Burning Array’ here."

Li Yunjing took the map and saw it was a panoramic map of "Four Seas City."

He compared it with his memory and found the records on it were very detailed.

Clearly, the Master of Fiery Fire had been meticulous over the years.

"No problem!"

After reviewing the map, Li Yunjing put it away: "Tonight at midnight, I will venture alone to ’Four Seas City.’

The sea surface at midnight was like ink. Turning into a wisp of smoke, Li Yunjing concealed his aura entirely and swept towards "Four Seas Island."

The island was surrounded by giant coral reefs and subsidiary islands, glowing in the night; there were guards from the "Four Seas Commerce Association" in those places.

Li Yunjing’s cultivation was extremely high, so these outposts and the patrolling personnel could not trouble him.

He skimmed over the delicate waves, sneaking close to the rocks like a ghost, and whenever patrol cultivators approached, he skillfully used the sea mist to obscure his form.

The cultivators, completely unaware, had no idea that a fierce star was quietly approaching.

Reaching the edge of the island’s reefs, Li Yunjing targeted a merchant ship about to dock.

The ship’s deck was piled with wooden crates sealed with talismans, emitting a strange fragrance.

His figure flickered, transforming into a gentle breeze slipping through the cargo gaps, he cast an "Invisibility Technique" on himself, and with the merchant ship, he slowly entered the harbor.

Even though it was late at night, the dock was still bustling, with the sounds of shouting and transporting echoing indefinitely.

The "Four Seas Commerce Association," being the largest commerce company in the East Sea, thrived around the clock.

After docking, Li Yunjing mingled among the busy cultivators, unobtrusive and inconspicuous.

Passing through the bustling dock, he reached the gate of "Four Seas City."

The city walls were covered with defensive arrays, runes flickering, like vigilant eyes.

Li Yunjing took out a jade scroll obtained from Ma Xingyuan, infused it with spiritual power at his fingertips, and it immediately glowed faintly.

The guard cultivators cast a casual glance, collected the entry fee, then waved him through.

Entering the city, the street sides were lined with shops, operating overnight, bustling with cultivators going back and forth.

Li Yunjing had nowhere specific to go, so he first headed to the plaza to look at where the loose cultivators were setting up stalls.

Helping the Master of Fiery Fire lure out Ao Lie was not easy.

Currently, Li Yunjing had no method.

Since he couldn’t lure out Ao Lie, he decided not to waste time and to browse around "Four Seas City," purchasing some resources first.

He had plenty of spirit stones on him!

Extremely wealthy and ostentatious!

Li Yunjing wasn’t afraid to spend in this most commercialized city on the sea.

Weaving through the street half an hour later, Li Yunjing reached the plaza.

The scene there did not disappoint him.

The various stalls displayed exotic treasures, dazzling the eyes, mesmerizing anyone.

Merfolk sold luminous pearls, demon cultivators set up stalls for crafting evil artifacts, while orthodox cultivators peddled healing elixirs...

"Four Seas City" was a free city where any cultivator could trade freely.

Of course, this was provided there was no enmity with the "Four Seas Commerce Association!"

If it were known that the behind-the-scenes boss of "Star Moon Trading Company" was here, the "Four Seas Commerce Association" might not be so polite.

In the enemy’s territory, Li Yunjing mingled in the bustling crowd, his lowered hat covering most of his face, with only his eyes roaming among the splendid stalls.

He first stopped at a merfolk merchant’s stall, where the pearls emitted a faint blue light, each the size of a fist, revolving with a mysterious glow in the candlelight.

"How much for these deep-sea pearls?"

Li Yunjing’s voice was low as he picked up one, lightly injecting mana with his fingertips, revealing a virtual whirlpool at the bottom of the pearl.

"What sharp eyes you have, sir!"

The merfolk vendor, swaying his tail, showed a grin with sharp teeth: "These are collected by our race from the deep sea at ten thousand fathoms, fifty middle-grade spirit stones each, a 10% discount if you want them all."

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, silently calculating.

These deep-sea pearls could not only be used to set up a spirit gathering array but were also excellent materials for refining water-element magical artifacts.

Being an artifact refining grandmaster, he could guarantee to craft something excellent.

Calculating the price, it seemed there was profit to be made.

"I’ll take twenty."

He casually tossed a storage bag to the merfolk.

"Alright! Let me count!"

The merfolk was delighted, immediately opening the storage bag, shaking it in his hands, and the crisp sound of spirit stones clashing instantly resonated.

With the transaction completed, leaving the merfolk stall, Li Yunjing came to a demon cultivator’s stall.

The stall was full of bizarre evil artifacts, with one completely black dagger catching his eye.

The dagger was covered in twisted runes, faintly emitting a bloody aura.

"This is the ’Soul Devouring Dagger,’ refined from the essence blood of three demon kings. Just a drop of the enemy’s blood on it can track their trace a thousand miles away."

The demon cultivator’s eyes gleamed with greed, "The price... five hundred middle-grade spirit stones."

Li Yunjing’s heart stirred, thinking this tracking-type magical artifact might come in handy in his subsequent actions.

"Three hundred middle-grade spirit stones, deal?"

He spoke in a calm tone, as though bargaining was for common cabbages on the street, not priceless spiritual artifacts.
