Li Yunjing let out a dry laugh, quickly tossing his Identity Token to the other party, allowing them to transfer the Contribution Points into it.
Once that was done, Li Yunjing checked the number of Contribution Points on his Identity Token. After confirming it was correct, he hastily left the "Scripture Pavilion."
Being watched by many fellow sect members made Li Yunjing feel somewhat uncomfortable.
At this time, he would typically borrow a room on the first floor and copy all the knowledge he had in his mind.
This time, to avoid the excessive enthusiasm of his fellow sect members, Li Yunjing directly took the Teleportation Array of "Brocade Peak" back to "Seven Stars Peak."
"It’s still best to be home! The people here are all obsessed with Array Dao, taciturn, and don’t care about their own cultivation."
Returning to "Qiuwu Manor," Li Yunjing finally let out a long breath of relief.
Going to his study, he recorded the second volumes of these books.
One copy was placed in his "Storage Ring" for easy access anytime.
The second copy served as a display in his study.
Looking at the books that filled his room, especially those Tier Two and Tier Three cultivation techniques, Li Yunjing felt a great sense of contentment.
These were all his wealth!
Recently, Li Yunjing had felt less pressure from his cultivation, and in his spare time, he became infatuated with collecting.
His collection was different from others’ collections.
He preferred these books and aspired to build a personal library comparable to the "Scripture Pavilion."
Of course, the "Scripture Pavilion" had over a million books.
Currently, Li Yunjing had less than a thousand books, which was negligible compared to the "Scripture Pavilion."
However, this did not dampen Li Yunjing’s enthusiasm; instead, it added to the fun of collecting.
Watching his library slowly grow gave Li Yunjing a great sense of accomplishment.
After this, Li Yunjing checked "Qiuwu Manor" and saw that the ten Puppet Mechanism Beasts in charge of daily chores were performing adequately.
Bound by their low intelligence, these Puppet Mechanism Beasts were still very mechanical, with many shortcomings.
Li Yunjing planned to find some time to upgrade these Puppet Mechanism Beasts to high-tier, focusing on servant-type functions, to better serve "Qiuwu Manor."
Moreover, upgrading to high-tier Puppet Mechanism Beasts would allow the use of more Spirit Stones.
This way, the Puppet Mechanism Beasts could work for longer hours.
Li Yunjing could then leave home for extended periods with peace of mind. Newest update provided by NoveI(F)ire.net
As for combat-oriented Puppet Mechanism Beasts, Li Yunjing felt having one was sufficient.
He didn’t rely on Puppet Mechanism Beasts for combat.
Their combat prowess was very limited, unable to match human cultivators of the same level.
Of course, if he could forge a large number of them, they would have an advantage in numbers.
But given Li Yunjing’s own formidable combat strength, it was unnecessary to waste resources on large numbers of Puppet Mechanism Beasts.
Li Yunjing researched Puppet Mechanism Beasts mainly for handling daily tasks, not for combat.
His primary focus was on studying puppetry, mastering its complex art, and integrating it into Artifact Refining and Array Dao.
After inspecting the work of the Puppet Mechanism Beasts, Li Yunjing added several new restrictions to his study, seclusion chamber, bedroom, Artifact Refining Room, and Alchemy Room.
Having completed these tasks, Li Yunjing could finally take a well-deserved rest.
Lying on his bed, Li Yunjing reviewed the messages from the past ten days.
Some people’s messages didn’t require a response, while others needed his attention.
"Senior Sister Lü, you already know that I’ve advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm?"
This ally definitely needed a reply.
Next, Li Yunjing saw a few familiar names, including Ma Xingyuan.
Especially the messages from Yue Zhouwang and Hou Boyan, which Li Yunjing made sure to respond to.
These two people—one cunning, essentially a shrewd trader, good at speculation and profiteering.
The other one, a muscle-bound man, had "fight if you disagree" written on his forehead!
Yue Zhouwang was suitable for negotiations and material procurement, while Hou Boyan was great for providing protection.
These two were quite capable, and they got along well with Li Yunjing. They could be incorporated, just like Jin Shouyun and Su Guo, as teammates.
Li Yunjing’s operations were expanding, and he needed a few Inner Sect Disciples to assist him.
Otherwise, the numerous mundane tasks would be impossible to handle by himself alone.
The precious time of a cultivator shouldn’t be wasted on these trivialities.
By spending some resources, whether Spirit Stones or offering help in terms of status, recruiting capable subordinates to share his workload was the best way to improve efficiency.
"Junior Brother Yue! You’ve recently advanced to Inner Sect Disciple, do you have anywhere to go?"
With this thought, Li Yunjing immediately messaged Yue Zhouwang. Then he sent a similar message to Hou Boyan.
The two of them responded to Li Yunjing almost simultaneously, expressing their willingness to follow his arrangements.
"Great! Come to ’Yaxiang Garden’ tonight, and I’ll arrange for everyone to have dinner together."
Li Yunjing planned to settle this matter before heading to the frontlines; otherwise, Yue Zhouwang and Hou Boyan might not be able to wait.
These two had completed the Inner Sect Disciple assessment early on and had been promoted to Inner Sect Disciples already.
However, they hadn’t received any assignments, as they had been waiting for Li Yunjing’s summons.
For this, they had waited for more than two months.
