CHAPTER 329: CHAPTER 190: REACHING A DEAL_2

The annual audit is only responsible for sending someone to check the accounts and see how much profit the shop has made.

During this process, Lin Kai looked at Li Yunjing and smiled, "Friend Li, how about it? My skills aren’t that bad, are they?"

"Hehe! Friend Lin’s skills are indeed impressive! I greatly admire them!"

Li Yunjing responded with a smile and added, "As long as the transaction is completed, your share will not be short!"

"Haha! Friend Li, you are straightforward!"

Lin Kai then said, "Friends, after we complete the task, should we head directly back to the mountain, or take a stroll around the sea region?"

"Hmm! These riches belong to the Sect, naturally, someone will use the remote teleportation array to send them back to the mountain."

Li Yunjing’s heart stirred as he revealed his plan.

"Sigh..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Kai sighed inwardly, feeling deeply disappointed.

Initially, he had planned to take a share of these resources.

It seemed that the few members of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" were very cautious, leaving him no chance to make a move!

Lin Kai’s ability to thrive in "Wanghai City" naturally made him stand out from the average brokers!

His ways were quite wild, playing both sides of the law.

According to Lin Kai’s calculations, the four of them, including Li Yunjing, possessed a wealth of 2 million low grade spirit stones!

Such a large sum of wealth was enough to make him risk it all.

Now that Li Yunjing mentioned leaving via the remote teleportation array, although he didn’t completely believe it, he knew the other party must have a retreat planned, making it hard to ambush them.

In "Wanghai City," there is a super long-distance teleportation array that can directly reach the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."

However, the teleportation costs are so high that even Golden Core Realm cultivators find it extremely painful.

Li Yunjing and his group couldn’t possibly choose this method to leave.

However, if they activated the teleportation array to reach the nearby markets, a few thousand miles away, the cost would not be too high.

Around "Wanghai City," within a range of two to three thousand miles, there are three markets.

All of them can be directly reached via teleportation.

With three choices, and a second teleportation via the market, it would indeed be difficult to surround Li Yunjing and his party.

Lin Kai had to give up on this plan.

In "Wanghai City," he was very powerful, but outside "Wanghai City", Lin Kai was nothing.

At this moment, Lin Kai maintained his expression and continued, "If Friend Li is interested in the sea region, I have a treat to offer."

"Hehe..."

Li Yunjing laughed dryly, knowing that such unsolicited favors often had hidden motives.

Did this brat think of him as a fat sheep?

Seemingly seeing through Li Yunjing’s perfunctory response, Lin Kai closed his eyes and secretly transmitted a message, "Friend Li, I have a treasure map here, very important, related to the site where a Golden Core Realm cultivator perished!"

"Hmm... such important news, you’re willing to tell me?"

Li Yunjing responded indifferently, not believing a word of Lin Kai’s story.

Li Yunjing thought that if he followed Lin Kai to the sea, he himself would only end up as the treasure!

Even if he ventured into the sea, Li Yunjing would stay far away from other cultivators!

On the Southern Heaven Continent, aside from the Five Great Profound Sects, Seven Great Demon Sects, Two Great Buddhist Temples, and the Four Great Demon Races, there were many loose cultivators, clans, and sects.

Within the Great Ming Dynasty, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" dominated, and other forces had to follow their rules.

In the Great Ming Dynasty, the presence of Demon Dao and Buddhist Sect forces was almost prohibited.

The loose cultivators, clans, and sects within the Great Ming Dynasty fought incessantly, often reaching deadly extremes.

Sometimes, even the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" found it hard to mediate.

No matter the nature of the conflict, the reasons often revolved around fighting for resources and the quest for immortality.

On the lands of the Great Ming Dynasty, many clans, sects, and even loose cultivators were restricted by the "Shenxiao Dao Sect." Even if they fought, it was mostly within certain limits, rarely escalating into large-scale battles.

However, beyond "Wanghai City," on the desolate sea, the rules of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" were not as effective.

The South Sea was vast and boundless, filled with numerous islands and countless demon beasts, rich in resources. Many loose cultivators, clans, and sects ventured into the sea.

Some loose cultivators even established their own sects in these areas.

These sects, far from the oversight of "Shenxiao Dao Sect", didn’t contribute taxes to these forces.

Of course, "Shenxiao Dao Sect" turned a blind eye; these loose cultivators and small sect members entering the sea was beneficial.

At least these individuals were strong and fierce, frequently battling sea demon beasts, which also helped alleviate the pressure on "Wanghai City."

Due to the laissez-faire attitude of "Shenxiao Dao Sect," these loose cultivators, small sects, and families acted without restraint in the sea, doing as they pleased, disregarding the distinctions between orthodox, evil, fair, or demon. They were eager to kill and loot at the slightest hint of profit.

In the vast, boundless sea, if some people died, no one would ever know who did it!

Even if they killed some influential people, they wouldn’t fear; after killing and robbing, they would escape, hiding away.

In the ocean, no matter how powerful a force was, it was hard to track down the whereabouts of a tribulation cultivator.

Although Li Yunjing had never been to the sea region, the "Shenxiao Jade Scroll" provided a detailed description of the ocean conditions, emphasizing caution when exploring the ocean, due to the presence of other sects’ cultivators.

This Lin Kai before him was indeed no good person!

On the first day Li Yunjing met this person, he had confirmed this fact.
