"You are quite self-aware!"
Having stabilized his four subordinates, Li Yunjing glanced at Ma Xingyuan and teased.
Ma Xingyuan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and asked, "Young Master Li, how can I elevate to the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer? The mana I’ve cultivated is simply not enough to advance even a small realm!"
At this point, Ma Xingyuan looked at Li Yunjing with eager eyes, the meaning was clear: you said you’d look out for me, so whether it’s possible or not, you have to.
You can’t abandon me now!
Seeing Ma Xingyuan’s pitiful appearance, Li Yunjing couldn’t help but laugh.
Su Guo, Jin Shouyun, Yue Zhouwang, and Hou Boyan looked at the chubby man with envy!
The casual appearance of the chubby man indicated the close relationship between him and Li Yunjing.
If it were any of the four of them acting , it would be a great offense to Young Master Li.
This kind of treatment almost made Ma Xingyuan look like Li Yunjing’s chief lackey.
The four couldn’t help but feel a sense that the grapes they couldn’t eat were sour.
Li Yunjing ignored Ma Xingyuan, instead picking up chopsticks to sample a few dishes.
Seeing Li Yunjing start eating, the others finally picked up their chopsticks and began tasting the dishes together.
Li Yunjing tried two dishes; the flavors were quite good.
The culinary skill of "Yaxiang Garden" seemed to have greatly improved.
Of course, it was still far inferior to "East Splendor Tower."
However, compared to the first time Li Yunjing hosted a meal here, it had made significant progress.
Li Yunjing glanced at the chubby man, knowing without asking that the quick improvement in "Yaxiang Garden’s" skill was definitely related to how much Ma Xingyuan ate.
He probably went to the back kitchen every other day, giving those Spirit Chefs lessons to improve their cooking methods and skills.
After tasting a few bites, seeing Ma Xingyuan getting restless.
Li Yunjing finally smiled slightly, pushing aside the dishes and utensils before him.
Ma Xingyuan and the others detected the change in atmosphere and solemnly looked up at Li Yunjing, knowing Young Master Li had something to say.
"Alright! You must succeed in this task! Here are fifty thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones! This is my support for you!"
"Spend them all, don’t save any!"
"Whether it’s purchasing elixirs for cultivating mana, suitable Divine Techniques or Secret Techniques, or Top Grade Magical Artifacts, use them as you see fit!"
"But! I have only one requirement! You must achieve ultimate victory!"
Li Yunjing spoke sternly, simultaneously waving his sleeve, revealing fifty thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones!
Seeing the small mountain of Spirit Stones on the table, Ma Xingyuan, Su Guo, Jin Shouyun, Yue Zhouwang, and Hou Boyan were all extremely envious.
Those Spirit Stones stacked almost two people high, reaching the ceiling.
Such a mountain of Spirit Stones would make anyone breathless, red-eyed and eager, unable to control themselves.
Cultivators inherently have little resistance to flashy objects.
The level of greed among cultivators is similar to that of the Dragon Race. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel(ꜰ)ire.net
If this were another place, another person, Su Guo, Jin Shouyun, Yue Zhouwang, and Hou Boyan would have already tried to snatch them.
Even disciples of great sects, when encountering such wealth in remote areas, can’t help but reveal murderous intent.
Of course, here, in Li Yunjing’s territory, no one dared to move; everyone sat obediently, able only to look but not touch.
However, Su Guo and the others knew those Spirit Stones were for the competitors. They exceeded the qualifications for registration, lacking eligibility to compete and naturally couldn’t claim this resource.
Li Yunjing looked at the five with amusement, understanding their plight.
Before advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm, encountering strangers flaunting such wealth would definitely tempt him.
As his realm and knowledge expanded, Li Yunjing increasingly controlled his greed, aligning his behavior with his principles.
Rather than being controlled by instinctual impulses.
Higher Dao Cultivation aids in conquering one’s inner demons.
However, as the Dao advances, so do the inner demons!
The higher the Dao Cultivation, the more formidable the inner demons. The two complement each other. Balance is the limit a cultivator can achieve; total eradication of inner demons means eradicating half of one’s spiritual will.
Within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," there are specific spiritual cultivation methods related to the Foundation Establishment Realm to enhance the Primordial Spirit, elevate Dao Practice, and suppress greed.
These are part of the sect’s benefits for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
If Li Yunjing advances to True Disciple, he’d receive higher-level spiritual cultivation methods.
At this moment, Li Yunjing’s understanding of post-Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation was only instinctive and subconscious, unaware of the specific direction and content of the next stage.
This was why Li Yunjing hadn’t changed status.
Once he completed this task and successfully advanced to True Disciple, greater benefits awaited Li Yunjing.
Not just routine perks.
"Alright! I’ll give it my all!"
Ma Xingyuan looked at the pile of Low Grade Spirit Stones, breathing heavily. His face changed constantly, like a mask, ultimately settling with a heavy expression, bursting with heroic determination.
"Hehe! Here are five Tier Two Five Elements Spirit Talismans for your protection."
