Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

"Oh no, Xiao Mei!!"

Upon seeing the target that the Golden-Eyed Beast was pouncing on, Shi Han's eyes widened in fury, and he roared in anger, trying to stop it.

At the same time, everyone else reacted, but it was too late. They could only watch helplessly as the Golden-Eyed Beast pounced on Xiao Menglin.

Although the Golden-Eyed Beast was not very intelligent, it could sense the strength of the auras of the people present. With its keen intuition, it chose Xiao Menglin, who was only at the third level of Qi Refining.

If I can kill her, I might be able to break through the encirclement.

"No, no!!"

Facing the ferocious pressure of the Golden-Eyed Beast, Xiao Menglin's delicate body trembled, and her beautiful face was filled with fear and terror. For a moment, she couldn't even mobilize her magic power, and she stumbled and fell to the ground.

A look of despair flashed in her eyes. She subconsciously felt that she was unlikely to survive today, so she closed her eyes tightly and prepared for the end of her life.

Swish!

Just when everyone thought everything was over, suddenly, a surging aura burst forth and pounced on the Golden-Eyed Beast's head at the critical moment.

Everyone looked over and saw Xu Yun calmly take out a talisman and pour his magic power into it. In an instant, runes flashed and condensed into a golden sword blade.

Immediately afterwards, under Xu Yun's control, the golden sword blade suddenly shot out and flew towards the head of the Golden-Eyed Beast.

puff!

The Golden-Eyed Beast's vertical pupils widened as it felt the golden blade was incredibly sharp, even causing its eyes to sting involuntarily, and it let out a mournful howl.

The next moment, the golden sword blade struck its head, leaving a deep gash. The terrifying sword energy pierced through the demon's body, wreaking havoc inside and causing blood to splatter everywhere, making it look utterly miserable.

With a thud, the Golden-Eyed Beast's life force completely dissipated, and its mangled body swayed and crashed to the ground, where it remained motionless.

"this......"

Seeing that the tearing sensation hadn't come yet, Xiao Menglin cautiously opened her eyes, only to be met with a horrifying scene that left her stunned on the spot.

Not only her, but everyone else was also surprised and looked at Xu Yun with suspicion.

Although the golden-eyed beast had already suffered severe injuries, the pain had aroused its ferocity, making it even more threatening.

In this situation, even an experienced veteran like Lin Zuibai failed to react in time, but Xu Yun not only did it, but also successfully delivered a fatal blow to the Golden-Eyed Beast, completely annihilating it.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xu! Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xu!"

After a brief moment of surprise, Shi Han quickly bowed deeply to Xu Yun, his face filled with deep gratitude.

He and Xiao Menglin were childhood sweethearts, embarking on the path of cultivation together, and their friendship was incredibly deep.

Seeing Xiao Menglin miraculously survive, he breathed a sigh of relief and was extremely grateful to Xu Yun.

"Thank you, Brother Xu."

At the same time, Xiao Menglin realized what had happened, quickly got up, and bowed deeply to Xu Yun.

"No need for that, you're just lucky."

Seeing this, Xu Yun waved his hand, knowing his own situation. He hadn't acted intentionally; he had simply seized the opportunity.

Saving Xiao Menglin was an accidental act; the key was the flaw that was unintentionally exposed when the Golden-Eyed Beast relentlessly attacked its opponent.

Xu Yun was lucky; he seized that fleeting opening and thus completely killed the Golden-Eyed Beast.

"In any case, we owe you a debt of gratitude. If there is anything we can do to help you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask, Fellow Daoist Xu."

After speaking, Shi Han and Xiao Menglin bowed deeply once again, and then Shi Han pulled the latter to check for any injuries or potential dangers.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Xu is truly remarkable. He was able to step forward in that situation. I, Lin, am ashamed of my own inferiority."

Lin Zuibai looked at Xu Yun with a sincere sigh on his face. He had indeed thought highly of the other party, but he never expected that the other party would be so powerful.

Even under those circumstances, he was still able to react quickly enough, find the Golden-Eyed Beast's weakness, and kill it.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you flatter me. I was just lucky, and I can't compare to an expert like you."

Xu Yun wore a wry smile, showing no trace of smugness.

At the same time, he sighed inwardly. It was a pity that Lin Zuibai had some connection with the Muyun Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, being outside and with the help of Daoist Tianlin, he might have been able to take him down directly.

Lin Zuibai was completely unaware of Xu Yun's thoughts. Seeing Xu Yun's humble demeanor only made him more satisfied. His ability to calmly handle danger without the slightest carelessness or arrogance, and to seize fleeting opportunities, all demonstrated his competence.

More importantly, this person has excellent character and can step forward without hesitation when faced with a companion in danger. His decisiveness and execution are outstanding, making him the best choice for a partner.

"This Fellow Daoist Xu is truly a chivalrous and righteous man."

Lin Zuibai admired it in his heart, while his hands moved quickly, and he and the others soon finished processing the corpse of the Golden-Eyed Beast and put it into their storage bags.

"Everyone, we have obtained a mid-stage first-tier Golden-Eyed Beast. Let's leave Mingyuan Forest immediately."

Lin Zuibai's expression was solemn. The Mingyuan Forest was home to many demonic beasts, and more importantly, the Golden-Eyed Beast Clan was also located there.

If they had just finished hunting the golden-eyed beast, and its kin noticed something was wrong and attacked together, they would be in deep trouble.

The others were not fools either; they quickly cleaned up all traces and then quietly left the place.

They left Mingyuan Forest without disturbing any monsters along the way and sped towards Qingyu Market.

........

Soon, just over ten days later.

Qingyufang City.

Inside a cave.

Lin Zuibai sat in the main seat, grinned at Xu Yun and the others on his left and right, and cupped his hands, saying, "This time, thanks to the help of several fellow Daoists, the Golden-Eyed Beast was successfully purchased by the Muyun Merchant Guild, and a considerable reward was distributed."

"I also took the opportunity to report everyone's help, and the person in charge of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce was very satisfied."

Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with excitement and overjoyed, for the Muyun Chamber of Commerce was a powerful force in Qingyu Market.

Being remembered by such a powerful force will be beneficial in both cultivation and other endeavors in the future.

After all, not just anyone can be remembered by the Muyun Chamber of Commerce, let alone someone like Lin Zuibai who can directly trade with the Muyun Chamber of Commerce and accept their commissions.

This is why Lin Zuibai has a lot of cultivation resources, and even has the reputation of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce to protect him. Usually, no cultivators would target him, for fear of being come after by the Muyun Chamber of Commerce.

"Also, these are the rewards you were promised. Please accept them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zuibai waved his hand, and several streams of light scattered out, landing in the hands of each person.

Xu Yun watched as the flowing light in his hand dissipated, revealing a wooden box. He slowly opened it and saw a pure white Ganoderma lucidum lying inside.

The mushroom is covered with wonderful patterns that extend from the base to the cap, constantly shimmering with a transparent luster, subtly touching the soul.

It was none other than the Xuanling Xinzhi that Xu Yun had always longed for!
