Chapter 893 - 424: Task Handover

On the way to "Shenxiao Island," Li Yunjing kept a low profile, much like a loose cultivator, stopping at each island. He entered every shop he found.

Whenever he saw something he needed, he bought it without hesitation. If he saw items that could be sold for a high price in the Great Ming Cultivation Realm, he attempted to bargain.

It took a full month before Li Yunjing returned to "Shenxiao Island."

The first thing Li Yunjing did was visit the "Shenxiao Daoist Temple Branch" to pay respects to Elder Wu Cheng, presenting him with some specialty fruits from other islands.

"Hmm! Are you going back?"

After hearing Li Yunjing’s intentions, Elder Wu Cheng nodded.

"Indeed! My punishment is over; it’s time for me to return to seclusion to cultivate and strive to reach the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible!"

Li Yunjing nodded in agreement.

But Li Yunjing’s words nearly choked Wu Cheng.

Is this something a person would say?

How many years have you been cultivating?

And now you’re busy with studying core formation?

This guy, Li Yunjing, isn’t even forty yet, right?

In the history of "Shenxiao Dao Sect," how many forty-year-old Golden Core Realm cultivators are there?

"Alright then! Hand over your identity token, I’ll settle your task, and also issue your contribution points!"

Finally catching his breath, Elder Wu Cheng said grumpily.

"Hehe! Thank you, Elder!"

Li Yunjing chuckled and immediately handed over his identity token respectfully to Elder Wu Cheng.

Even though their powers were about the same, their statuses were different. As he was an Elder of the sect, the necessary respect had to be shown.

Wu Cheng took Li Yunjing’s identity token, tapped it lightly with his finger, and a faint glow emanated from the token.

A moment later, he handed the token back to Li Yunjing and said lightly, "The task has been settled, and the contribution points have been allocated to you. You went out and stirred up quite a bit, accumulating so many contribution points."

Li Yunjing took the token and scanned it with his divine sense, and indeed, the contribution point number on the token had skyrocketed significantly.

He was delighted in his heart, but maintained a calm expression on his face, respectfully saying, "Thank you, Elder! This outing was indeed rewarding, but it’s also thanks to the cultivation from the sect."

Wu Cheng gave him a sidelong glance, smirking, "Oh, cut the act! Do you think I don’t know your nature? But it’s rare for you to have this mindset. Go back and cultivate well, don’t let the sect down."

Li Yunjing quickly nodded and agreed, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then took his leave from the "Shenxiao Daoist Temple Branch."

Once he stepped out of the temple, Li Yunjing let out a long sigh of relief. Now that he had ample contribution points, he could head to the sect’s Scripture Pavilion to exchange for some high-tier cultivation techniques to prepare for the Golden Core Realm.

"But before that, I should return to ’Star Moon Trading Company No.3 Store’ to meet with Xing’Er and Yue’Er."

Li Yunjing thought to himself.

In a flash, he transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the market.

Moments later, Li Yunjing returned to "Star Moon Trading Company No.3 Store."

Reuniting with Xing’Er and Yue’Er naturally caused Li Yunjing to spend quite a bit of time. The three of them made substantial progress in cultivating the "Profound Awareness Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Skill" together.

Especially Xing’Er and Yue’Er, both received many benefits from Li Yunjing.

Not knowing how long it might be before he could return, Li Yunjing equipped Xing’Er and Yue’Er each with two Treasure Artifacts; coupled with their top-grade spiritual artifacts, even if not skilled in combat, they were not something common Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators could rival.

"Alright! I’m leaving tomorrow! You can sell all these things in the store!"

Li Yunjing promptly walked to the round table in the bedroom, retrieving many "Hundred Treasures Pouch" from the "Purple Gold Gourd."

He opened dozens of "Hundred Treasures Pouch" one by one, each filled with a mountain of resources, spirit medicine, ores, magical treasures, and classics.

Watching the mountain of resources piled up on the table, Xing’Er and Yue’Er’s eyes were full of surprise and joy.

"Brother Yunjing, are these... all for us?"

Xing’Er asked in disbelief.

"Yes!"

Li Yunjing nodded with a smile, saying, "Of course, you’re the ones I trust the most, so I can rest easy leaving these things to you. You can take your time selling them, no need to rush, as long as the price is right."

Yue’Er blinked playfully and said, "Brother Yunjing, we definitely won’t earn any less spirit stones!"

"Hahaha!"

Li Yunjing laughed heartily, reaching out to ruffle Yue’Er’s hair, "You’ve both grown experienced; I trust in your abilities!"

"Yes! We won’t let Brother Yunjing down!"

Xing’Er and Yue’Er exchanged a glance, their eyes full of reluctance.

But knowing that Li Yunjing must return to the sect for seclusion to prepare for breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, they dared not delay him any longer.

Li Yunjing nodded, then took out a few jade scrolls from the "Purple Gold Gourd," handing them to the two. "These are some cultivation techniques and secret techniques I’ve obtained outside. You can take them to cultivate. Even if you’re not skilled in combat, it’s always good to learn a bit more."

"Alright, we understand!"

Xing’Er and Yue’Er accepted the jade scrolls, their hearts full of gratitude.

What Li Yunjing gave them was not only resources but also concern for their future paths. This care deeply moved the two women.

Yet, thinking about Li Yunjing’s departure, Xing’Er and Yue’Er’s eyes grew a little dim, but they quickly cheered up again.

Xing’Er smiled and said, "Brother Li, don’t worry, we’ll manage the trading company well. Make sure to visit us once you’re out of seclusion!"
