Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1276 - 552: Too Much Wealth, Perilous Life

"Okay! Okay!"

The maid suddenly came to her senses and quickly handed the "Hundred Treasures Pouch" to Li Yunjing, then swiftly took out a "Communication Talisman" to send out a message.

Clearly, this woman was not qualified to complete the transaction.

She had serendipitously struck up an astronomical deal!

As Li Yunjing walked out of the "Treasure Pavilion," the news spread like wildfire throughout "Four Seas City."

In the shadows, over a dozen covert Divine Senses began weaving like cobwebs.

"A Golden Core Realm Cultivator who can purchase North Abyss Cold Iron in one go must have significant backing."

In the corner shadows, two black-robed cultivators whispered with their hats lowered.

"Now is not the time to consider this; we must discern this person’s origin and see what their cultivation is, whether they are easy to kill!"

Another person responded coldly.

His eyes never left Li Yunjing from start to finish, clearly considering Li Yunjing as easy prey.

Meanwhile, in the top-level secret room of the "Four Seas Commerce Association," three bronze bells suddenly rang simultaneously.

The Commerce Association’s Elder abruptly opened his eyes, staring at the "Four Seas City Commercial Street Map" on the wall, with his gaze firmly fixed on the Treasure Pavilion’s location: "Order them to closely monitor this person. A Golden Core Realm Cultivator able to bring such wealth to the East Sea is definitely not as simple as they appear."

Being worth over a billion is top-tier wealth anywhere.

As long as these powers ascertain that Li Yunjing is not a rooted person within "Four Seas City," he’ll be targeted to personally craft a death plan for Li Yunjing.

"Interesting! They noticed me so quickly! Seems like that ’Treasure Pavilion’ isn’t a good bird either! Completely without credibility!"

Li Yunjing sneered coldly, yet remained oblivious to the surrounding undercurrents, leisurely striding toward the next shop, "Celestial Secret Pavilion."

Li Yunjing had just pushed open the gilded door when he heard a cold laugh: "The boss of ’Star Moon Trading Company’ has arrived at ’Four Seas City,’ quite a bold move."

In the shadows, an elder in a dark robe appeared, stroking his white beard, with the "Celestial Secret Pavilion" emblem on his sleeve.

"You’ve got the wrong person."

Li Yunjing’s pupils contracted slightly, yet he remained composed.

He was secretly surprised; upon entering there, it was meant for the enemy to get further details about him.

Yet Li Yunjing never expected the people of the "Celestial Secret Pavilion" to identify one of his identities just as he entered!

Of course, this was the identity Li Yunjing was willing to reveal!

He was also a "Celestial Secret Grandmaster," having two treasures suppressing his fortune; even typical Celestial Secret Grandmasters were incapable of deducing his identity and deeds.

Li Yunjing intentionally misled this person using the "Celestial Profound Compass."

Allowing the opponent to perceive incorrect information with incorrect celestial secrets.

"Li Yunjing, the hidden owner behind ’Star Moon Trading Company’ and the enigmatic cultivator who made grand purchases in the square today."

Before the voice fell, the elder’s jade token suddenly lit up, a light screen enveloped the whole room and clearly projected his appearance. The elder’s eyes were as sharp as a blade, "Did you think that a change of black robes could conceal you from my Divine Techniques?"

The temperature in the room suddenly dropped, Li Yunjing placed down his bamboo hat, his face looking grim.

The elder, seeing Li Yunjing in such a state, stroked his beard and smiled with pride.

He was immensely confident in his "Celestial Secret Technique!"

On the entire "Four Seas Island," fewer than five were stronger than him!

"Since you’ve been recognized, why not make a deal?"

Suddenly, Li Yunjing laughed, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and spoke: "I want to trade with you to keep my identity secret, let me safely purchase supplies, and leave ’Four Seas City’?"

"Well then!"

The elder stared at Li Yunjing for a long time, finally lifting the restriction: "Come with me."

"Alright!"

Li Yunjing nodded; this elder’s cultivation matched his own, nothing to worry about.

Even if a trap were set, Li Yunjing was confident he could easily take his life within three to five moves!

Passing through multiple secret doors, in a secret chamber, the elder gestured for Li Yunjing to sit on the meditation cushion at the guest seat.

"Mr. Li, in my ’Celestial Secret Pavilion,’ there are no free transactions."

The elder leisurely sat in the main seat, fingers stroking the green jade tea cup, eyes full of mockery.

He waved a hand, and a densely packed price list appeared on the wall, prominently listing "Message Confidentiality Fee, Golden Core Realm Cultivator, Five Thousand High Grade Spirit Stones!"

"Moreover, what you want to conceal is more than just from me."

The elder continued fiercely, "This is the price I’ve quoted; if you pay, I ensure no one will get any intelligence about you from the ’Celestial Secret Pavilion’!"

Li Yunjing glanced at the price list, heart cold with laughter, what a greedy old thing!

This is sheer extortion!

Were it not for this person’s utility, he would have killed him now!

Thinking this, Li Yunjing showed hesitation: "Friend, this price, I’m afraid it’ll drain all of my possessions."

He intentionally gripped his "Storage Ring," knuckles slightly white.

That tense appearance further fueled the elder’s arrogance.

"Haha!"

The elder laughed heartily, tea splashing from the cup, "The leader of ’Star Moon Trading Company,’ lacking Spirit Stones? Is Mr. Li’s grand spirit in ’Treasure Pavilion’ gone?"

"My ’Celestial Secret Pavilion’ remains steadfast in Four Seas City not by charity."

He suddenly leaned forward, dark golden runes rising around him, "If you can’t show sincerity..."

Before finishing his sentence, the bronze compasses in the four corners of the secret room simultaneously hummed, a sinister aura pervading the air.

Clearly, this old thing is trying to intimidate Li Yunjing!
