Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 891 - 423: Shrouded in Mystery

Much more than any Golden Core Realm cultivator Li Yunjing has killed, the harvest is abundant.

With these gains, Li Yunjing was in great spirits, and did not encounter any danger along the way, so he took time to specifically refine the "Profound Celestial Compass".

To increase efficiency, Li Yunjing performed a blood sacrifice, forcibly refined it with mana, and applied a spiritual imprint, combining all three methods.

By the time the "Cyan Cloud Ship" arrived at "Holy Sound Island", the refining of the "Profound Celestial Compass" showed initial results and could already be activated.

Li Yunjing tried out the treasure on the "Cyan Cloud Ship" and indeed gained quite a bit.

Through nurturing the "Profound Celestial Compass", Li Yunjing genuinely gained much understanding of the space laws from this Tier Four magical treasure.

Upon reaching "Holy Sound Island", Li Yunjing collected the "Cyan Cloud Ship" and observed the island.

Li Yunjing discovered that the traces of demon beast invasion had disappeared.

The entire island appeared the same as before, as if nothing had ever happened.

In the island’s market, cultivators from all sides came in an endless stream, creating a bustling scene.

Li Yunjing blended into the crowd, leisurely strolling just like everyone else.

During this, he also heard many pieces of news.

There was quite a bit of talk about the Sea Race invasion that day, which truly gave Li Yunjing insight into the battle situation.

It turned out after Li Yunjing left that day, the entire Sea Race fiercely attacked "Holy Sound Island".

However, the "Holy Sound Sect" had seen such matters many times and was very experienced.

Through meticulous deployment, they managed to repel the Sea Race’s attack.

The Nascent Soul Realm forces of both sides also engaged in a confrontation.

The outcome was neither victory nor defeat.

Overall, many cultivators perished, but those who survived gained enormous benefits.

Everyone obtained some Sea Race corpses.

In the East Sea, the Sea Race corpses are treasures, usable for artifact refining, alchemy, talisman painting...

This is also the reason the market at "Holy Sound Island" is so lively.

With good things in hand, cultivators naturally seek trades to exchange for the resources they need most to enhance their cultivation.

"Business at Store Number Four is really good!"

After wandering around, Li Yunjing arrived at his own shop.

Upon entering, he saw many cultivators conversing with the shop staff, bargaining, and negotiating with a lively atmosphere.

Seeing that near Li Yunjing, a cultivator readily agreed to a transaction, Li Yunjing nodded in satisfaction.

Some old staff members saw their boss Li Yunjing arrive and were about to greet him when he stopped them with a glance.

Li Yunjing looked around the store on the first and second floors, confirming that Ma Xingyuan was doing a good job, which lifted his mood!

He surely didn’t want his friends to be unreliable!

On the third floor, Li Yunjing saw a fat guy!

That fat guy was quite comfortable, lying on a huge recliner, swinging his legs, humming a cheeky tune. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Fatty! You seem quite leisure, huh?"

Looking at the fat guy, Li Yunjing rolled his eyes at him.

As for the fat guy not going downstairs to work?

Li Yunjing really had no objections!

As long as the business at "Star Moon Trading Company Store Number Four" was stable and kept generating spirit stones, he didn’t care whether the fat guy was nurturing his health here!

But if business was not good, even if the fat guy was busy on the ground floor or second floor, Li Yunjing would still be dissatisfied.

Compared to meaningless busyness, Li Yunjing preferred actual data!

Spirit stones don’t lie!

With more spirit stones, the credit belongs to the fat guy.

With fewer spirit stones, the first person accountable is the fat guy.

This is Li Yunjing’s principle of employing people.

"Ah? Young Master Li, why have you returned?"

Seeing Li Yunjing suddenly barging in, Ma Xingyuan jumped in surprise.

His whole body was like a spring, instantly jumping up from the recliner, standing straight.

"Haha!"

Li Yunjing’s face took on a hint of sternness, his voice cold: "I appointed you as the shopkeeper here, is this how you do it?"

"Uh..."

Ma Xingyuan’s face turned red, hung his head low, and looked apologetic.

"Alright! Fatty! I was joking with you, why are you taking it seriously?"

Seeing the fat guy somewhat scared, Li Yunjing rolled his eyes and spoke casually.

"Whew..."

Hearing there was no anger in Li Yunjing’s words, Ma Xingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young Master Li, you scared me to death!"

Ma Xingyuan complained.

"You rascal, living quite carefree, huh?"

Li Yunjing took a few steps to the recliner, laid down.

He gave it a rock or two!

Hey!

Gotta say!

This thing is quite comfortable!

When he has time, he’ll craft one for himself!

"Haha! It’s okay! You don’t know, I’ve been very busy lately! If it wasn’t for just now having free time, I wouldn’t be resting upstairs and get caught in action by you!"

Ma Xingyuan wobbled his big belly, coming to Li Yunjing’s side, looking steadfast and loyal, as if he was working hard for him.

"Hmm! Let me see the accounts! Also, I want to take all the Tier Three materials and spirit stones from the shop!"

Li Yunjing casually ordered.

"No problem!"

Ma Xingyuan immediately took out the accounts from the "Hundred Treasures Pouch" and handed them over for Li Yunjing to review.

Then he went out to the warehouse to prepare and retrieve the spirit stones and Tier Three materials.

After Li Yunjing finished checking the accounts, Ma Xingyuan returned, packaged everything in the "Hundred Treasures Pouch", and handed it to Li Yunjing.

"Fatty did really well!"

At this time, Li Yunjing showed a satisfied expression.

"Haha! Of course! Just see who I am! My business skills are impeccable!"

With Li Yunjing’s praise, Ma Xingyuan smugly boasted.

This fatty wasn’t really bragging, using the Sea Race invasion to buy low and sell high, he indeed earned a lot of profit.
