Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

Several days later, in Mofeng City.

Inside a cave.

Xu Yun sat cross-legged, breathing in spiritual energy, and at the same time, layers of light emanated from his skin, which continued to expand.

Buzz!

At the same time, Xu Yun's blood and qi surged, and the spiritual herbs he had previously refined were absorbed into his internal organs, limbs, and bones, tempering his physical body.

Bones collided, blood and qi surged, and Xu Yun relentlessly tempered his body using the "Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Method," while the essence of refined spiritual herbs surged in, covering his entire body.

In an instant, layers of energy surged from Xu Yun's body, a sign that his physique had further increased.

"It's almost time. I'll soon break through to the second level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refinement Technique."

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yun slowly opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

With Shi Han's "generous" apology and help, Xu Yun once again obtained several spiritual herbs suitable for cultivating the "Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique," and thus he has been cultivating ever since.

He was very satisfied with the results, which made his physique stronger again. Based on his speculation, he believed that as long as he collected some more resources, he would be very confident in breaking through the second level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique.

Buzz!

Just then, a rapid fluctuation emanated from outside the cave, causing Xu Yun, who had just concealed his aura, to frown slightly.

With a thought, his consciousness spread out subconsciously, and he saw the scene outside the cave.

Wen Xinlan stood anxiously outside the cave, pacing back and forth, looking at the communication talisman she had thrown out.

"Oncidium?"

When Xu Yun saw the person who came, some doubts arose in his heart. Generally speaking, the other party would not come to find him unless it was something important.

Thinking of this, Xu Yun immediately took out the token, opened a gap in the formation, and grabbed the communication talisman in his palm.

He then channeled his magic power into it, and soon a hurried voice came from within, "Fellow Daoist Xu, you must come with me to the Muyun Chamber of Commerce branch. A Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Ruohe Wen family wants to see you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun's expression immediately turned solemn. He knew some inside information and also learned from Wen Siyue that an elder of hers was on his way to Mofeng City, supposedly to take her back.

I never expected that this Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Ruohe Wen family would arrive so quickly, and even directly ask to see me.

Thinking of this, Xu Yun quickly got up and left the cave, coming to the outside world.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please come with me quickly. That person holds a high position in the Ruohe Wen family, so we must not neglect him."

Wen Xinlan looked at Xu Yun with a complicated expression. Ever since she learned that the eldest daughter of the Wen family had been frequently in contact with her and even visited her, she had been filled with mixed feelings and a sense of inexplicable loss.

This time, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Ruohe Wen family came to Mofeng City to escort Wen Siyue back to her clan's territory, and also made it clear that he wanted to meet Xu Yun.

The branch's higher-ups then ordered Wen Xinlan to bring the other party over immediately, which aroused all sorts of speculation in her mind.

"Don't worry, Manager Wen."

Xu Yun nodded slightly. Even though he had spoken with Wen Siyue, he did not neglect his friend.

After all, the other party had provided him with many useful resources and channels, and he might need them in the future, so there was no reason for him to avoid the other party because of Wen Siyue.

Moreover, he vaguely felt that the Foundation Establishment cultivator wanted to see him not only because of his life-saving grace to Wen Siyue, but perhaps for other deeper reasons.

Soon, Xu Yun and his companion crossed the street and hurriedly arrived at the Muyun Chamber of Commerce branch in Mofeng City.

Upon entering the palace complex, Xu Yun was led by an attendant to one of the magnificent, elegant, and luxurious halls.

"Aunt Ronghuai, please, please stay a few more days, just a few more days, okay?"

As soon as Xu Yun entered the main hall, he saw the pitiful Wen Siyue shaking the arm of a beautiful woman and pleading bitterly.

The beautiful woman was elegant and graceful, with a unique charm in every movement, just like a mature peony.

However, what made Xu Yun even more wary was that the beautiful woman's aura was incredibly powerful and as deep as the sea.

Without a doubt, this was the Foundation Establishment cultivator who had openly requested to see him.

"Siyue, stop making a scene. Go outside first. I need to have a good talk with your savior."

Wen Ronghuai glanced at Xu Yun, who had arrived, then casually looked away and gently advised the girl he had watched grow up to leave.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Wen Siyue could only pout and look at Xu Yun apologetically before leaving in a huff.

"This child..."

Wen Ronghuai watched the other person's departing figure, shook his head with a wry smile, then composed himself, turned around and calmly looked Xu Yun up and down.

"Wen Xuanqi has told me everything about you. I want to thank you in advance for inadvertently saving Siyue's life; otherwise, our Ruohe Wen family would have been in great trouble."

"I dare not, it is my honor." Xu Yun quickly cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, appearing extremely humble.

He wasn't worried that the other party would see through his true cultivation level, since he had already used an invisible mask to conceal it, and he also had his own divine sense to enhance it.

This Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Ruohe Wen family was only in the early stages, and there were no flaws to be found.

Even in a direct confrontation, Xu Yun could inflict considerable damage on Xu Yun through his numerous trump cards and methods.

However, there is no need for that now, and Xu Yun will naturally show the behavior and manners that a normal cultivator should have.

"Siyue is still young and inexperienced in the ways of the world. She doesn't understand many things, which is why we elders have a lot of headaches."

Wen Ronghuai looked directly into Xu Yun's eyes and said, word by word, "Therefore, we do not want to see any accidents happen to Siyue."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun lowered his eyelids slightly and immediately understood.

Simply put, he and Wen Siyue were not on the same path at all, and were destined to be together but not to stay together.

Wen Siyue has an extraordinary background and exceptional talent; she is destined to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Xu Yunming is just an ordinary cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining with a damaged reputation, and he may not even have the potential to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Under these circumstances, the Ruohe Wen family members naturally couldn't stand seeing their young lady frequently interacting with him, or even visiting him at his door.

"Don't worry, senior. I know my place and will not do anything out of line."

Xu Yun cupped his hands in a respectful bow, his face solemn, and performed the salute with utmost seriousness.

He had realized this long ago, so he always treated Wen Siyue with politeness and affability, maintaining a safe distance and never breaking the ice.

Xu Yun never intended to use Wen Siyue for anything; at most, he just wanted to see if he could get her to owe him a favor, which might come in handy in the future.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the other party doesn't acknowledge the favor; Xu Yun never places his hopes on others.

Because he knew very well that in this life, the only person you can truly rely on is yourself.
