Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

After the threat from the Tianmanglong family disappeared, the Biyunlin family was overjoyed, decorating with lanterns and drums.

Xu Yun and his companion also joined the banquet at Lin Zuibai's invitation, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely.

Several days later, Xu Yun and his companion decided to take their leave and return to Mofeng City.

After all, that's where their business is based. Putting aside Wen Lingyu, Xu Yun also runs the Tianhe Tower shop.

Although there is suppression from the Zhao family of Ziyu, overall it is still much better than before.

"Goodbye, Uncle Xu and Aunt Wen..."

At the foot of Biyun Mountain, Lin Zuibai, along with his family and senior officials, came to bid farewell to Xu Yun and his companion.

Lin Tanyu's eyes were dim, her head was lowered, and she waved goodbye to Xu Yun and the other person with a sullen and sad expression.

She had finally met Uncle Xu and Aunt Wen, and after only a few days of playing with them, they were leaving.

She still found it hard to accept, and the thought that she might never have the chance to see them again made her eyes redden, as if she was about to cry.

Lin Chiru, the eldest brother, patted his younger sister's head and bowed solemnly to Xu Yun and Aunt Wen, saying, "Uncle Xu, Aunt Wen, please take care."

"You too."

Xu Yun and Wen Lingyu nodded solemnly, then bowed to Lin Zuibai and the others, saying, "Brother, everyone, we'll be leaving now."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Lin Zuibai nodded slightly, trying his best to keep a straight face and avoid any loss of composure, so as not to damage the dignity of the family head.

Even so, he still felt a little reluctant to part ways. After this separation, he didn't know how long it would be before he and his friends could see each other again.

Xu Yun and the other person pursed their lips, then left together, heading towards Mofeng City.

They trekked through mountains and rivers, crossed the Yangtze River, and even boarded a speedboat to shorten their journey.

Inside a room on the airship.

Xu Yun sat cross-legged, adjusting his energy and spirit, and then took out a wooden box from his storage bag.

As he untied all the restrictive patterns on the wooden box, a surge of powerful energy quickly emanated from it, and upon closer inspection, a blood-red spiritual fruit lay inside the box.

It was none other than the Blood Spirit Fruit, a medicinal herb with a history of two hundred years.

"Let's not delay, let's refine it first."

Xu Yun murmured something and chewed the Blood Spirit Fruit directly into his stomach. A warm current surged out from it and spread to his limbs and bones.

He dared not be negligent in the slightest, and immediately held the incantation, circulated his magic power, and began to refine the medicinal power of the Blood Spirit Fruit in his body, and flowed it into the circulation route of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique.

In an instant, layers of blood-red light rippled across his body, surging and causing his blood and qi to boil, his muscles to swell, and his bones to tremble, tempering Xu Yun's physique.

Buzz!

As Xu Yun continued to refine the two-hundred-year-old Blood Spirit Fruit, the blood and qi within his body became increasingly turbulent, constantly surging towards a certain limit.

At the same time, Xu Yun also sensed that his body was constantly expanding, and his flesh and blood were faintly stinging, causing waves of energy to rise up around him involuntarily.

However, after an unknown period of time, the originally boiling blood and qi suddenly stopped when it reached a certain threshold, and the flesh and blood also expanded to a certain point, causing all the surrounding air waves to converge back.

"call....."

Xu Yun let out a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, and carefully sensed his own condition, seemingly lost in thought.

"To break through to the third level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refinement Technique, relying solely on a Blood Spirit Fruit that is two hundred years old is still somewhat insufficient."

Xu Yun had anticipated this, so he wasn't disappointed. In any case, he had already gained more than he had imagined from this trip to the Biyun Lin family, so this little bit wouldn't make a difference.

Moreover, now that Xu Yun's strength is more secure, he can be a little more aggressive and scavenge more resources.

Besides materials related to Foundation Establishment Pills, you should also pay attention to cultivation resources for the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique.

After all, Xu Yun also had to prepare for the worst. If he couldn't obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill before the age of sixty, then he would have to rely on his current foundation to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

At that time, the third level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refinement Technique will also increase the chances of victory.

Thinking of this, Xu Yun regulated his breathing and circulated his internal energy, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, restoring his condition.

Several months later, Xu Yun and Wen Lingyu disembarked from the flying boat safely and returned to Mofeng City without any obstacles.

Upon returning to Mofeng City, Xu Yun immediately took over Tianhe Tower. Although there was suppression from the Ziyu Zhao family, the overall situation was still within his tolerance.

After that, Xu Yun continued his life of cultivating secret techniques while collecting resources.

........

Time flies, and several years have passed in a flash.

Inkwind City.

Inside a cave.

Xu Yun sat cross-legged, seemingly thinking of something, and let out a long breath, a hint of emotion showing in his eyes.

"Am I already fifty-two years old this year?"

During this period of time, Xu Yun has been cultivating the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique while collecting various resources he needs.

As his combat strength and resources increased, Xu Yun became slightly more aggressive, acquiring a considerable amount of resources and expanding his wealth.

Unfortunately, they were still missing a few key ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and they couldn't find a suitable alchemist or a cultivator to refine the pill together.

Time flies, and he has already lived for fifty-two years, getting closer and closer to the age of sixty.

"Under the suppression of the Ziyu Zhao family, I can't even exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills, let alone exchange for related materials, or even hire someone to refine pills within the Muyun Chamber of Commerce. As for Wen Xinlan..."

Xu Yun held a letter, her eyes lowered, her expression a complex mix of emotions.

In previous years, Wen Xinlan would still contact him and even help him obtain some rare resources, including materials related to the Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, things were different now. He had sent several letters before, and Wen Xinlan initially responded occasionally, but later she stopped paying attention to them altogether.

At first, Xu Yun thought that the letters had been intercepted by the Ziyu Zhao family or by some accident.

However, after verifying through different information channels, he learned that Wen Xinlan had made many achievements in the Ruohe Wen family, received praise from many elders and high-ranking members of the clan, and her status had been greatly elevated.

Perhaps that's why Wen Xinlan felt that she and she were from different worlds.

After all, the people he met and the things he encountered were very different from when he was in Mofeng City. It was within Xu Yun's expectations that Wen Xinlan's attitude towards him had changed and that she had even stopped contacting him.

Even so, when that day actually came, Xu Yun still felt a mix of emotions.

"How could a close friend who used to be able to talk about anything and help each other with everything turn into this? Does time really change a person?"

Xu Yun shook his head, only sighing briefly before dismissing the thought. Although somewhat surprised, it did not affect his mind.

If Oncidium is cutting ties with me, then so be it. Besides, we owe each other nothing, so it's nothing.

As for the Foundation Establishment Pill...

"If all else fails, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to rely on my current resources to attempt the Foundation Establishment stage."

Xu Yun murmured, his expression solemn. Even so, his probability of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage was still several times higher than that of other ordinary cultivators.

Obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill is merely a safeguard.

If it really can't be done, then there's nothing we can do to force it.
