Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

Time passed quietly, and several months later...

Inkwind City.

Inside a cave.

Xu Yun and Wen Lingyu sat facing each other, chatting over tea. Amidst the rising steam, they appeared quite relaxed and at ease.

"I heard that the Muyun Chamber of Commerce branch in Mofeng City has recently welcomed a distinguished guest."

Just then, Wen Lingyu, while sipping her tea, seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, "The branch's higher-ups seem to be treating this distinguished guest very seriously, keeping the news very tightly under wraps. If I weren't a second-class retainer, I probably wouldn't even know about it."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun paused in his tea-making process, appearing somewhat curious.

The fact that the branch's senior management treated this guest with such seriousness suggests that the guest's identity must be beyond imagination.

However, these things were too far removed from Xu Yun's life and had little to do with him. Just collecting materials related to the Foundation Establishment Pill and finding a suitable alchemist was giving him a huge headache.

"Xu Yun should be close to the ninth level of Qi Refining, right?"

Just then, Wen Lingyu held a teacup in her hands, her eyes lowered, watching the tea water that was rippling.

Xu Yun nodded slightly, took a sip of tea, and said softly, "Not bad."

Over the years, Xu Yun has revealed his Qi Refining Level 8 cultivation at opportune moments, creating the impression of an ordinary cultivator.

From Wen Lingyu's perspective, it's not surprising that he was about to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"Now that you've broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, you're probably planning to establish your foundation, right? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Wen Lingyu looked up at the man opposite her, a tenderness rising in her eyes, along with a complex emotion hidden deep within.

To be honest, she didn't really think Xu Yun could successfully establish his foundation.

After all, he was already quite old, not far from the age of sixty. If he was not properly prepared, failure would mean certain death.

She wanted to dissuade him, but she knew very well that Xu Yun would never accept it, so she could only help him as much as possible.

Even so, she still felt an indescribable loneliness and fear in her heart, afraid that she might never see Xu Yun again.

Therefore, Wen Lingyu cherished every meeting with her.

"Haha, if needed, I'll shamelessly pester Sister Wen."

Xu Yun laughed loudly, making a joke without any decorum.

Upon hearing this, Wen Lingyu couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, and the atmosphere between them became even more relaxed.

A moment later, Wen Lingyu got up to take her leave. After seeing her out of the cave, Xu Yun sat down on the futon, seemingly closing his eyes to doze off, but in reality, he summoned the light screen and scanned the tasks on the Initial Saint System.

"If there is any way for me to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills now, it is probably only through the Initial Saint System."

Xu Yun murmured to himself, "Putting aside everything else, the rewards from the Initial Saint System are all top-notch. If a mission to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill appears, he will give it a try as long as it's not too outrageous."

Unfortunately, he scanned the tasks on the First Saint System almost every day but couldn't find any, not even tasks suitable for him, which left him feeling quite helpless.

"Hmm? This mission..."

Just as Xu Yun sighed, intending to end today's refresh task and think of other ways, he suddenly saw something and was stunned.

Xu Yun raised an eyebrow, focused his mind, and focused his gaze on the task list. The information inside immediately came into view.

[A new saint every day, each with its own unique charm]

[First Saint's Mission: Disrupt a Major Deal]

[Reward: Tier 2 Myriad Spirit Banner]

"It's actually a second-tier Myriad Spirit Banner..."

Xu Yun's pupils widened, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes, followed by a surge of emotion.

The first-tier Myriad Spirits Banner already possessed many profound mysteries, from which he benefited greatly. He wondered how terrifying the power of the second-tier Myriad Spirits Banner truly would be.

However, Xu Yun quickly calmed down, and a troubled look appeared on his face.

"To sabotage such a major deal, the conditions for this mission are rather harsh."

Xu Yun stroked his chin, his brows furrowing slightly. Putting everything else aside, what exactly is the scope of this major transaction?

Qi Refining Level? Foundation Establishment Level? Or a transaction that can influence the course of events?

This initial saint mission is different from the previous ones, which makes things a bit difficult for Xu Yun. Trying them one by one would be a waste of time.

"Well, the second-tier Myriad Spirit Banner is extremely precious, so taking some risks for it is worthwhile."

After pondering for a moment, Xu Yun quickly made a decision to accept the mission.

In any case, he hasn't received any other useful information or resources yet, and besides, the value of the second-tier Myriad Spirit Banner is truly attractive to Xu Yun.

If obtained, it will undoubtedly strengthen one's foundation and enable one to accomplish even more.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Mofeng City, as Xu Yun began planning his mission to become a Saint.

A small alley.

Tap tap...

With a series of light footsteps, a middle-aged man with strong features and a burly build quietly walked in and gently knocked on the door next to him when no one was paying attention.

With a creaking sound, the somewhat dilapidated wooden door opened, revealing an elderly man with a hunched back, dressed in coarse linen clothes.

Upon seeing the newcomer and the subtle handprints he had made, the old man in coarse cloth had a flash in his eyes. He then stepped aside to let him in.

"Haha, honored guest, you have come from afar, but we have to make do with meeting you here. Please forgive us."

A long laugh rang out, and a man dressed in a simple robe walked out of the wooden house.

He was tall and upright, with a dignified face. His movements and gestures exuded an air of authority befitting a high position, yet at this moment, he wore a warm and gentle smile.

It was none other than Wen Xuanqi, the branch president of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce.

"There's no need for that. After all, this transaction is of great importance. As long as our interests are protected, that's fine."

The burly middle-aged man waved his hand dismissively, while simultaneously surveying his surroundings.

Upon seeing this, Wen Xuanqi couldn't help but smile and cupped his hands, saying, "Please rest assured, Patriarch Qi, our Muyun Chamber of Commerce attaches great importance to this transaction. Otherwise, we wouldn't have chosen such a remote place as Mofeng City, just to ensure that this transaction goes smoothly."

"After all, the item in this transaction is a high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill, which is extremely rare even in the entire Yuan Kingdom."

As he finished speaking, Wen Xuanqi's heart was filled with excitement. The Pan Yuanqi family had paid an extremely generous price to obtain this high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill.

If he could complete this transaction, then with this achievement, Wen Xuanqi would be able to advance further within the Muyun Chamber of Commerce.

For this reason, Wen Xuanqi was extremely concerned about this transaction, and even released various false messages, such as that a distinguished guest was visiting the branch in Mofeng City, which attracted the attention of many people.

All this information was intended to mislead others and prevent any unexpected events from occurring during the transaction of the premium Foundation Establishment Pills, which could jeopardize his advancement.

In fact, only a handful of people in the entire Mofeng City knew about this transaction, which shows just how much effort Wen Xuanqi had put in.
