When Li Yunjing arrived at a courtyard with three entrances according to the instructions from the Tribulation Cultivator leader, he indeed sensed the presence of an array’s fluctuations in the courtyard.
Li Yunjing used the key provided by the Tribulation Cultivator leader to open the main gate, and as expected, the array did not harm him.
The four Tribulation Cultivator guards at the gate had just shouted when Li Yunjing swiftly struck, using the "Breaking Gang Spear" to kill them!
Li Yunjing shut the gate and rummaged through the bodies for a moment, grabbing several storage bags and keeping them.
"I didn’t expect there to still be some people here."
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Li Yunjing saw over a dozen people in the various rooms.
Most were mortal maidservants and workers, along with three Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators. Among them was a woman with remarkable beauty, likely the mistress of the Tribulation Cultivator leader.
Facing these people, Li Yunjing showed no mercy!
In the market, killing unnoticed is one thing, but if recognized, it would bring great trouble. For his own safety, Li Yunjing naturally would not leave any survivors to cause him issues.
After dealing with these people, Li Yunjing quickly found a large chest in a tunnel within the bedroom.
The chest was made of Profound Iron, engraved with runes and suppressed with talismans. If an outsider wanted to open it, they would need to be proficient in runes.
This minor difficulty did not stump Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing didn’t even need to force it open; after researching for a few minutes, he effortlessly decoded the runes using the records from the "Array Atlas" and removed the talismans.
After all, the level of loose cultivators was generally low, so there was no formidable array or restriction. Such small things posed no challenge for Li Yunjing.
Upon opening the chest, what met Li Yunjing’s eyes were all Spirit Stones!
They were all Middle Grade Spirit Stones!
"Good heavens! The Tribulation Cultivator leader converted all the looted items into Middle Grade Spirit Stones! Is he that confident in his promotion to Foundation Establishment Realm? No longer needing Low Grade Spirit Stones?"
Even though Li Yunjing had seen the world, he was still astounded by this large chest full of Middle Grade Spirit Stones.
The chest contained block after block of Middle Grade Spirit Stones, exuding dense spiritual energy and a green glow, strongly stimulating Li Yunjing.
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, after the Foundation Establishment Realm, major transactions generally used Middle Grade Spirit Stones, and Low Grade Spirit Stones were rarely used.
The density of spiritual energy in Middle Grade Spirit Stones is a hundred times that of Low Grade Spirit Stones, which greatly improves efficiency whether for activating arrays, cultivating Divine Techniques, or honing mana.
Typically, the exchange ratio between Middle Grade and Low Grade Spirit Stones is 1 to 100.
In reality, it can reach 1 to 110 or 120. Generally, cultivators with some power in the Qi Cultivation Realm begin to stockpile Middle Grade Spirit Stones before advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The purpose is to facilitate future transactions.
Li Yunjing had also done this long ago.
He had a hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones, and he was reluctant to use them for transactions or consumption.
Those were all in preparation for his future needs.
Now, with an additional 1,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones, Li Yunjing was overjoyed. He had made a huge fortune!
"It seems that sometimes, we do need to pay attention to the Tribulation Cultivators around the markets! Especially those leaders, who are filthy rich!"
Li Yunjing gathered all the resources and put them away.
Li Yunjing then thoroughly searched all the rooms, cellars, and secret chambers.
In the end, he found more than a dozen storage bags. After confirming nothing was missed, he cleared all traces and his aura and left the courtyard.
Upon exiting the courtyard, Li Yunjing headed directly toward the teleportation array.
At this moment, Li Yunjing was ready to make his escape; the "Youlan Mountain Range" was not very safe, and only back on the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" territory would he be completely secure.
This time, despite many risks, the harvest was enormous, and Li Yunjing was satisfied.
"The teleportation array is sealed! No one is allowed to use it!"
However, as Li Yunjing approached the teleportation array, he saw ten "Shenxiao Dao Sect" inner sect disciples, under the command of two true disciples, blocking everyone trying to use the teleportation array.
With a battle erupting in the "Youlan Mountain Range," the teleportation array, critical for transporting people and supplies, was immediately sealed off by the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" reinforcements, preventing anyone from passing through.
At this time, Li Yunjing saw Liu Ruyan, Xing’Er, and Yue’Er on the outer edge of the crowd.
The three women seemed to want to leave through the teleportation array but were also blocked from using it.
Many had the same thought as the three women; there were dozens of people waiting to use the teleportation array within ten yards from it.
All these people were stopped at the perimeter by the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" members, causing a chaotic scene.
These cultivators did not dare to force their way through, nor did they dare to confront the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," but many still pleaded and begged.
The inner sect disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" had no good solution for the chaotic situation.
The "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was a prestigious sect and could not just start a massacre because people were begging them.
At least, the loose cultivators needed to display a hostile attitude to give a reasonable excuse for the sect to slaughter them.
Under such circumstances, the inner sect disciples had no choice but to endure the incessant noise.
The inner sect disciples remained silent, with stern faces, ensuring no one crossed their line of defense.
The two true disciples sat cross-legged beside the teleportation array, responsible for guarding it and ensuring it wasn’t damaged.
