Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1445 - 608: Entering Wuyamen, Carrying Out the Mission

Now, when the boss might become "one of our own," it naturally becomes a situation where everyone is happy.

Upon arriving at the dock, a fully black spiritual boat was ready to set sail.

The hull was covered in water-repelling talismans, but instead of the Wuya Gate’s banner, a sail embroidered with a thunder pattern was hoisted.

This was the distinctive mark of the Sunken Star Island trade fleet.

"Steward Li, please board the ship."

On the bow stood an elder wearing a bamboo hat; he turned out to be a Golden Core Cultivator, "My surname is Chen, and I am the escort for this journey."

"What’s going on here?"

Li Yunjing curiously turned to ask his assistant.

"Here’s the deal!"

The assistant secretly transmitted his voice, "We have enemies near ’Sunken Star Island.’ If their people see us, it will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble! But hiring Elder Chen’s ship means being under the protection of the ’Sunken Star Island’ trade fleet, and even if we encounter enemies, they don’t dare attack us."

"Oh! So that’s the situation!"

Li Yunjing let out a wry smile, only then realizing the struggles of a "small sect."

He truly didn’t know that "Wuya Gate" is already quite strong; those of even lower-level sects and clans struggle even more to survive.

And Loose Cultivators?

Except for a few who rise against the odds, most are in dire straits.

Don’t even mention cultivation; survival itself is a problem.

Living on the edge is almost their daily reality.

"Then I’ll rely on Elder Chen!"

Li Yunjing smiled as he cupped his hands in gratitude and proceeded towards the gangway.

Behind him were people from the "Acquisition Department," carrying ordinary goods.

As for why not use storage magical treasures?

It’s because they’re engaging in sea shipping, and the task involves large-scale transactions.

Where do these Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators and Qi Refining Realm Cultivators have storage magical treasures of such scale?

It’s like Li Yunjing in his early years, when he had no "Purple Gold Gourd," he carried tens of "Storage Rings," dozens of "Storage Bracelets," hundreds of "Hundred Treasures Pouches," and thousands upon thousands of "Storage Bags."

Did he want to carry so many things?

It was because space was limited, unable to hold loot.

At that time, Li Yunjing specifically targeted high-end quality items.

Now, "Wuya Gate" is dealing with a bunch of low-tier items, naturally, there are even more.

Especially those metal ores and spirit rice, occupying considerable space.

"Wuya Gate" also dared not provide high-tier storage magical treasures to these ordinary disciples.

It’s well known that storage magical treasures cost more than the goods themselves, and if they were plundered, the loss would be severe!

Then why not dispatch experts for escort?

As a large sect with six to seven thousand people, "Wuya Gate" has only ten Golden Core Realm Cultivators in total.

Each of them holds Hall Master-level roles within the sect; they are "big figures," why would they possibly run around at sea for these things?

Do they not need to conduct official duties, do they not require precious time for cultivation?

Thus, naturally, it’s up to Li Yunjing and these Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators, along with dozens of Qi Refining Realm Cultivators, to handle these miscellaneous tasks.

This is also the usual practice of the sect.

In fact, "Shenxiao Dao Sect" operates similarly.

Every sect and clan aims as much as possible not to disturb high-tier cultivators’ cultivation; the more tasks the people below can handle, the better.

The vast majority of low-level cultivators toil diligently to support the top-tier cultivators of sects and clans; this is the normal ecological chain.

When boarding the ship, Li Yunjing keenly noticed a fresh sword mark on the ship’s side.

Chen, the elder, followed his gaze, chuckled twice dryly: "Accidental during a trial sail the other day..."

Li Yunjing nodded slightly upon hearing this, but his fingertips quietly brushed over the sword mark, and a strand of divine sense seamlessly seeped into it.

The residual sword qi deep within the sword mark made his brow slightly furrow.

This was clearly the mark left by a Golden Core Realm Cultivator of the fifth or sixth heaven.

Elder Chen didn’t seem to tell the truth!

Was this guy causing trouble outside?

If so, wouldn’t boarding his ship to sea encounter his enemies?

"Elder Chen, your trial sail must have made quite a commotion."

He asked, half-smiling.

"The sea is turbulent, inevitable bumps and scrapes."

The elder’s expression remained unchanged, but a glint flashed beneath his hat: "Steward Li, please follow this old man to the cabin and rest. I can swear by my own reputation that I’ll ensure you arrive safely at ’Sunken Star Island’!"

"Alright then!"

Li Yunjing carefully scrutinized Elder Chen, this person had tightly-tensed muscles full of fiery power and his divine sense seemed to be forged like iron, somewhat extraordinary?

Perhaps this person truly possessed some skills?

Li Yunjing did not cancel the action; his time was running short.

Switching to another vessel would only bring more trouble, considering he held ten Tier Four talismans gifted by Yue Wuya!

These talismans are enough to deal with many troubles.

Li Yunjing had just cause for using talismans to kill, without arousing suspicion of his Golden Core Realm cultivation.

"Please!"

Elder Chen beamed, fearing this business deal would fail.

"Elder Chen, you’re too kind."

Li Yunjing smiled, boarded the deck, and watched the people below busily move goods, engaging in idle chit-chat with Elder Chen.

Just as the goods were half-loaded, the sea suddenly began to move without wind.

Li Yunjing’s peripheral vision caught a flash of a cold light behind distant reefs, and he discreetly moved half a step towards the ship’s side.

"How long has Elder Chen been making a living out at sea?"

He absent-mindedly tossed a spirit stone, acting as if making small talk.

"This old man has eaten from this bowl for over three hundred twenty years..."

The elder stroked his beard: "Steward Li, rest assured! I have cooperated with your ’Wuya Gate’ multiple times, and not once has anything gone wrong!"
