Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1275 - 551: Flaunting Wealth

"You’re quite bold, sir. If you have needs in the future, please come again."

The demon cultivator gritted his teeth, but eventually accepted the Spirit Stones.

As time went on, Li Yunjing spent more and more Spirit Stones.

Anything useful, or that could enhance his friends’ powers, and strengthen the foundation of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, whether Tier Two or Tier Three, he would buy on sight!

Especially certain sea beast leather armors and deep-sea Spirit Wood, all in preparation for war.

Youyue Country needed them, and future battles in the East Sea would demand them as well.

Defensive treasures, the more the better!

War consumes resources!

In fights of the same level, the better equipped the Shenxiao Dao Sect is, the higher the chance of victory.

Li Yunjing had risen to the upper echelons of the Shenxiao Dao Sect and naturally was indifferent to the likes of Spirit Stones.

Low Grade Spirit Stones, Middle Grade Spirit Stones, they’re merely currency; in his hands, they only serve as tools for transactions.

What Li Yunjing truly valued were High Grade Spirit Stones!

Those High Grade Spirit Stones were the cultivation resources for a cultivator of Li Yunjing’s level.

As Li Yunjing walked to a corner of the plaza, a simple stall suddenly caught his attention.

On the stall lay an ancient-looking Bronze Compass, its surface rusted and its needle spinning continuously.

The stall owner was an elderly man, face full of wrinkles, resting with his eyes closed.

"How much for this compass?"

Li Yunjing stepped closer, his gaze fixed on the compass.

He vaguely sensed that something seemed hidden beneath this seemingly ordinary compass.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, his cloudy gaze sizing up Li Yunjing: "I obtained this by chance, and don’t know its use. If you want it, ten Low Grade Spirit Stones will do."

"Sure!"

Li Yunjing was inwardly delighted, yet outwardly calm as he produced the Spirit Stones.

The moment he accepted the compass, it trembled slightly, as if forming an inexplicable connection with his Profound Celestial Compass.

Li Yunjing placed the Bronze Compass into his Storage Ring for later research.

He looked toward the distant end of the plaza, where the row upon row of shops were brightly lit in the night, their staff still beckoning to passersby.

"Though Star Moon Trading Company is established in the East Sea, it still lacks the heritage of Four Seas City."

He murmured softly to himself, drawing his cloak tighter as he walked toward the shopping district.

The first to catch his eye was a three-story pavilion named Treasure Pavilion, guarded at the entrance by two watchful sentries wielding coral halberds.

"Is the esteemed guest seeking any special treasures?"

As soon as Li Yunjing stepped through the door, a welcoming maid approached gracefully: "Our pavilion has just received a batch of ’North Sea Cold Iron’, perfect for refining Ice Element magical treasures."

"Show me."

Initially, Li Yunjing had no such intent, but upon hearing about "North Sea Cold Iron," his interest was piqued.

He followed the maid through the door into the hall, then passed through a corridor filled with Spirit Plants.

Only then did they reach the second-story chamber.

"Please take a look, esteemed guest! This is our newly arrived batch, all from the distant Land of the Far North!"

The maid said with a hint of pride.

"Hmm!"

Li Yunjing nodded, his gaze falling on the crystal display cabinet.

Within the cabinet, a metal radiating a dark blue cold aura floated atop an ice block, with frosty blooms around it sketching out mysterious runes.

This piece of "North Sea Cold Iron" was as large as a person!

"How is it?"

The maid asked eagerly.

She possessed treasure that could detect a cultivator’s realm, and seeing Li Yunjing’s Golden Core Realm cultivation could not be faked, she was thrilled at the prospect of a major transaction.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t disclose such a treasure to ordinary cultivators passing by.

Li Yunjing remained indifferent; the aura he exuded was intentionally left as is.

If Li Yunjing wished, he could even disguise himself as a mortal without being detected.

If he wanted to lure out Ao Lie, he needed to display things that would tempt Ao Lie’s interest; showing his Golden Core Realm cultivation and some good treasures or revealing his astounding wealth.

Ao Lie was not one to abide by rules.

Seeing Li Yunjing’s wealth, would he harbor thoughts of robbery?

In Li Yunjing’s view, the probability was high!

Of course, whether Ao Lie would personally act or send a subordinate required consideration as well.

"A fine item."

At this moment, Li Yunjing pondered while his eyes flashed with admiration, "How much does it cost?"

The maid hesitated slightly; this "North Sea Cold Iron" was priced at three thousand High Grade Spirit Stones, yet due to its high price, few inquired about it.

She initially thought she’d have to use some eloquence, perhaps sell him a small segment.

But judging by the esteemed guest’s tone, it seemed he intended to purchase the entire piece of "North Sea Cold Iron"?

The maid’s fingertips trembled slightly, but she maintained her composure and said, "The whole piece sells for three thousand High Grade Spirit Stones; if you need only a part, we can cut it..."

"No need!"

Before she finished speaking, Li Yunjing had already pulled out a Hundred Treasures Pouch and tossed it gently.

The Hundred Treasures Pouch arced through the air and landed in the maid’s palm, startling her back to her senses from shock.

"Count it."

Li Yunjing’s gaze shifted from the display cabinet to the Ice Soul Jade Box placed in the corner, "Also, include the thousand-year Profound Ice Essence inside the box in the account."

The maid hurriedly opened the Hundred Treasures Pouch, finding inside a mountain of Spirit Stones, all High Grade Spirit Stones, far exceeding the count of three thousand.

"Uh..."

The maid swallowed hard, then regained her composure to take out 3700 High Grade Spirit Stones.

And within the Hundred Treasures Pouch, there were still 6300 High Grade Spirit Stones left!

This mysterious guest had ten thousand High Grade Spirit Stones!

That’s one hundred and ten million Middle Grade Spirit Stones!

Also, one billion three hundred million Low Grade Spirit Stones!

Cash exceeding a billion!

Where did such a wealthy patron come from?

"Can you give me the goods and remaining Spirit Stones now?"

Li Yunjing said leisurely.
