Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill-Chapter 932 - 437: Taking Charge of a Peak (Part 2)
Li Yunjing’s heart was filled with anticipation for the future, but also cautious of the looming challenges.
Xu Wuyi’s words echoed in his ears: "The greater the power, the heavier the responsibility."
These words felt like a heavy hammer, striking his heart.
In the "Seven Star Palace’s" "Council Hall," Xu Wuyi’s former room.
From now on, this will become Li Yunjing’s office.
Here, he will take Xu Wuyi’s place to issue orders, managing all affairs, big and small, of the "Seven Star Palace."
Only when matters involve the Golden Core Realm will Li Yunjing need to consult with the various elders; other matters can be decided solely by him.
And Li Yunjing’s combat power far surpassed that of ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivators, so even if it involved higher-level affairs, he could still act independently, because Li Yunjing’s abilities were much greater than Xu Wuyi’s.
"Brother Li, here are the latest array designs for your review."
Today was Li Yunjing’s first day at work, sitting in the office, a fellow Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator respectfully handed him a jade scroll.
"Hmm!"
Li Yunjing took the jade scroll, swept through it with his divine sense, and couldn’t help but admire.
This person’s expertise in array design was truly exceptional; these arrays not only had complex structures but also great power, enough to handle various emergencies.
He nodded and said to the fellow, "Very well. Your project is approved. I will issue an order to allocate you some resources to create ten sets of array plates!"
"Thank you, Brother Li!"
The array master, delighted by Li Yunjing’s promptness, took the note and left.
After this person departed, it wasn’t long before someone else arrived.
Throughout the day, they mainly requested array project approvals!
The financial authority of the "Seven Star Palace" was now completely in Li Yunjing’s hands. These array masters and array grandmasters needed to research new arrays, naturally requiring top-quality materials, spirit stones, and matching assistance personnel...
All of these required Li Yunjing’s approval!
Otherwise, these people couldn’t use even a single spirit stone.
As for spending their own spirit stones and resources?
Everyone was an array master, consuming greatly. Who could independently bear such huge expenses?
Naturally, they needed to rely on the power of the "Seven Star Palace" to complete the creation of new arrays.
"Sigh... I didn’t expect that being the ’First Steward’ of the ’Seven Star Palace’ would require completing so many tasks! It’s affecting my cultivation!"
After just sending away another fellow, Li Yunjing sat on a chair and sighed.
The teacher suggested having Brother Xu Wuyi help out, but having just become the head steward of the "Seven Star Palace" and then shirking would affect everybody’s view!
At least Li Yunjing still needed to appear diligent and conscientious for a few months!
"Brother Li, someone seeks an audience."
Li Yunjing had just rested for a while and drank a cup of tea when a diligent Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator hastily reported in a low voice.
"Who is it?"
Li Yunjing sighed inwardly but maintained a calm expression as he asked.
"It’s Elder Zhao from Dubhe Peak, saying he wishes to discuss an important matter with you."
This fellow answered.
"Oh?"
Li Yunjing’s brows furrowed slightly.
"Dubhe Peak" was one of the Shenxiao Dao Sect’s "Seven Great Peaks," strong in power, and Elder Zhao was an important figure in "Dubhe Peak."
His sudden visit clearly wasn’t for a trivial matter.
"Let him in!"
Li Yunjing instructed solemnly.
A moment later, Elder Zhao entered Li Yunjing’s office with several disciples.
He smiled and cupped his hands in greeting: "Nephew Li, congratulations on becoming the leader of the ’Seven Star Palace,’ truly a promising young talent!"
"SALutations, Elder Zhao!"
As soon as the guest entered, Li Yunjing had already stood up, greeting him at the door.
He smiled slightly and returned the courtesy: "Elder Zhao praises me too much. The younger generation is merely fortunate to have gained the master’s trust and needs to learn much from you."
"Hahaha!"
Elder Zhao laughed heartily and said, "Nephew Li is modest! However, I did come today indeed to discuss a matter."
"Please sit, Elder Zhao."
Li Yunjing appeared calm, motioned for everyone to sit.
After Elder Zhao and his entourage seated themselves, Li Yunjing served hot tea before asking, "What matter does Elder Zhao wish to discuss?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
"Hmm..."
Elder Zhao paused for a moment and said, "Recently, my ’Dubhe Peak’ discovered an ancient ruin, containing a large amount of treasure. The ’Seven Star Palace’ has exceptional expertise in array formations, and I’m wondering if Nephew Li would be interested in cooperating with ’Dubhe Peak’ to explore this ruin together?"
"Hmm?"
Li Yunjing felt stirred.
Ancient ruins were certainly perilous places, but the treasures within were undoubtedly huge temptations for the "Seven Star Palace."
If it were normal cooperation, Elder Zhao could privately approach a few familiar array grandmasters in the "Seven Star Palace" for action.
Today, he personally came to see Li Yunjing, elevating the cooperation to an inter-peak level, which adds some intrigue!
Is that ancient ruin too dangerous, requiring both peaks to exert their full effort?
This point was easier to discuss!
Although Li Yunjing couldn’t give a definitive answer to the elder, he would weigh the pros and cons of whether he was willing to participate.
If Elder Zhao had deeper motives, it would be rather interesting.
Li Yunjing needed to discern the elder’s deeper intentions!
Now, Li Yunjing’s status was different.
His new official status demanded caution—being disadvantaged by someone would harm his reputation and lessen his prestige, significantly impacting his future competition for the Sect Leader Venerable position.
At this moment, Li Yunjing naturally needed to be cautious.
