"You little brat! You really guessed it right!"
Elder Wu Cheng looked at Li Yunjing deeply and smiled, "The âFour Seas Commerce Associationâ is the largest commerce association in the East Sea. There are many experts there, not only of the Human Race, but also from various races..."
"So, Elder means to say that this time, a dragon has come?"
When Elder Wu Cheng fell silent, Li Yunjing asked in surprise, "Could there really be a dragon as in the legends?"
"Itâs really a dragon! But itâs a Tier Three Flood Dragon! Extremely powerful. When it visited me, it revealed just a bit of its aura, and I knew I was no match for it!"
Elder Wu Cheng exclaimed in admiration, nodded, and warned again, "This dragon is called Ao Lie, a Fire Attribute Flood Dragon. You must be cautious and adhere strictly to the rules!"
"Thank you, Elder, for the reminder!"
Li Yunjingâs face turned serious. After paying his respects, he left the "Shenxiao Sub-Hall".
"Damn it! A Flood Dragon! My âFive Dragon Wheelâ is just missing a Tier Three Flood Dragon. If I get the chance to kill it and refine it into the âFive Dragon Wheelâ, it would greatly enhance the power of the Magical Treasure!"
Stepping out of the Sub-Hall, Li Yunjing took a deep breath and began to calculate.
On "Shenxiao Island", even if Ao Lie was formidable, Li Yunjing was not afraid of it. The "Shenxiao Dao Sect" could still maintain the scene.
But as to how to kill Ao Lie, that would require some plotting.
As for Elder Wu Cheng, Li Yunjing could see that he was a kind-hearted person who would avoid fighting if possible, and did not like to be involved in such struggles.
Wu Cheng was definitely out of the question!
No one else in the East Sea among the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was formidable!
"Wait!"
Li Yunjing suddenly stopped and muttered to himself, "Hall Master Fu Lingfeng is in the East Sea! If I find him, donât say Tier Three Demon King, even Tier Four Demon Kings would be beaten to death by Fu Lingfeng!"
With this thought, Li Yunjing took out his "Myriad Li Communication Talisman" and sent a message to Fu Lingfeng. As to whether Fu Lingfeng could receive it, that was another matter.
After doing this, Li Yunjingâs figure moved and instantly became a fleeting shadow, quickly heading back to the "Star Moon Trading Company".
The initial arrangements were no longer sufficient.
He got more intelligence from Elder Wu Cheng. For the upcoming business competition, Li Yunjing would need to exert all his strength.
"Brother Yunjing, youâre back?"
When Li Yunjing reappeared, XingâEr and YueâEr were shocked. The all-hands meeting they were hosting hadnât even reached halfway!
"Yes! I got some news from Elder Wu Cheng! I had to rush over to share it with everyone!"
Li Yunjingâs face was serious. After nodding, he looked at everyone and said, "The âFour Seas Commerce Associationâ is the largest commerce association in the East Sea, with strong financial and martial power. Our competition with the âFour Seas Commerce Associationâ can only be in commerce! No dirty tricks, even if the âStar Moon Trading Companyâ goes out of business, weâre not using them!"
"In the coming period, Iâll be in seclusion refining all kinds of materials to compete with them! The affairs of the trading company will depend on you all!"
"Alright! Thatâs all I had to say!"
"You guys continue with your work! Iâm going into seclusion!"
After speaking, Li Yunjing didnât wait for others to react and disappeared like a gust of wind.
As for everyone elseâs reactions, it was no longer within Li Yunjingâs concern. He had no mood to hold any newcomerâs welcome meeting.
Back at his backyard residence, Li Yunjing went straight to the seclusion chamber and took out all the materials he had.
These materials had various purposes.
Alchemy, Talisman Making, Artifact Refining, Array Dao, Puppetry... materials for all these, sorted into different categories, were piled like mountains, and the five lines of preparation were all completed!
Li Yunjing was prepared to exhaust all his materials, including all the low-tier materials in the "Star Moon Trading Company"!
Li Yunjingâs skill level was very high, one personâs speed comparable to dozens of same-level vice-profession masters!
As Li Yunjing began refining Tier One and Tier Two items, on Ao Lieâs side, he also began implementing his division plan.
He sent people to secretly contact some suppliers of the "Star Moon Trading Company", offering them higher prices and better terms to cut off their cooperation with the "Star Moon Trading Company".
These suppliers came from small clans and small sects mainly active around nearby sea regions, collecting spiritual objects through adventures.
These people worked hard to sell the life-risking resources they collected at reasonable prices.
The prices offered by the "Four Seas Commerce Association" being higher, these people naturally were willing to cooperate with the "Four Seas Commerce Association", thereby directly cutting off the "Star Moon Trading Company"âs supply of low-tier materials.
XingâEr and YueâEr soon received the news. The two women immediately convened a meeting of the core members of the "Star Moon Trading Company", including Ma Xingyuan, Fang Yuxuan, and other cultivators, to discuss countermeasures.
"We canât sit and wait for death! It seems the only way to procure spiritual materials is to raise our prices like the âFour Seas Commerce Associationâ!"
Li Linzi said confidently.
"No way! The âFour Seas Commerce Associationâ is the largest commerce association in the East Sea. Thereâs no way we can compete with them. I think since we canât procure low-tier materials on âShenxiao Islandâ, we should go to further islands for them!"
Nobody expected Shi Huilan to be the first to jump out and negate Li Linziâs plan.
