Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

Since leaving the secret realm and surviving the ordeal, Lin Zuibai breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a deep sense of regret.

Neither he nor his other sworn friends were able to obtain the Nine Cold Netherworld Flower from the Biling Lake Secret Realm, thus missing a good opportunity to join the Muyun Merchant Guild.

Lin Zuibai always felt regretful about this, but there was nothing he could do. In addition, Xu Yun's fate was unknown at that time, so he could only swallow his regret silently.

Unexpectedly, today I not only witnessed Xu Yun's miraculous survival, but also saw the Nine Cold Netherworld Flower that I had always dreamed of and longed for.

Life's ups and downs are nothing more than this.

"Brother Xu, you're truly our lucky star!!"

Lin Zuibai was overjoyed and extremely excited. If it weren't for all his brothers and sisters watching, he probably would have danced with joy and completely lost his demeanor as the eldest brother.

Not only him, but his other sworn friends were also overjoyed. After all, with this Nine Cold Netherworld Flower, their chances of joining the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild were practically guaranteed.

Thinking of this, they all looked at Xu Yun with admiration and surprise, gaining a deeper understanding of his abilities. He was able to obtain the Nine Cold Netherworld Flower even when surrounded by demonic cultivators, something that even some cultivators with powerful backgrounds probably couldn't do.

"Brother, you flatter me. I just stumbled upon this medicinal herb by chance and took it without thinking."

Xu Yun waved his hand, his face showing a hint of embarrassment and deep shame.

Lin Zuibai ignored him, patted Xu Yun on the shoulder, and praised, "No matter what, it's all thanks to you that we were able to join the Muyun Chamber of Commerce."

"Brother, please don't say that."

Xu Yun shook his head and handed over the wooden box in his hand. "If it weren't for your efforts in accepting this commission, what use would I have even if I got the Nine Cold Netherworld Flower? As for the rest, I'll leave it to you, brother."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't let my brothers and sisters down."

Lin Zuibai solemnly accepted the wooden box and swore to all his sworn brothers present that he would give them a satisfactory answer.

Upon hearing this, everyone readily accepted, feeling a surge of excitement. They knew that once they joined the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild, they would no longer be lowly rogue cultivators, but would be able to access resources they had never been able to obtain before.

They might even have a chance to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

After everyone excitedly chatted for a while, Lin Zuibai told his brothers and sisters to go back and wait for news, while he himself was going to quietly go to the Muyun Chamber of Commerce to meet the person who had made the request.

After all, this Nine Cold Netherworld Flower is not only rare and valuable, but it is also involved in the internal struggles of the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild. Lin Zuibai must be cautious in his every move to avoid being exposed.

Everyone readily agreed and left. Xu Yun naturally returned directly to his cave dwelling.

"Phew... After all this time, I can finally take stock of the spoils I got in the secret realm."

Xu Yun sat on the futon, gently exhaling, his face filled with intense joy and anticipation.

Previously, in the Biling Lake Secret Realm, a lot of time was spent just searching for opportunities, and there was no time to carefully count them. Afterwards, we rushed back to Qingyu Market.

Now that everything is settled, Xu Yun finally has time to carefully take stock of his gains.

"First of all, there are the cultivators' storage bags within the secret realm."

Xu Yun opened one storage bag after another, there were probably dozens of them, and there were quite a lot of things inside, such as various cultivation techniques, secret arts, rare and precious materials, pills and talismans.

Among them, spirit stones, in particular, add up to at least tens of thousands of them. You should know that even some Qi-refining families can only get one or two thousand spirit stones at most over several years.

Xu Yun's current reserves of spirit stones have already surpassed those of some Qi Refining families, which is enough to show just how wealthy these demonic cultivators of the Blood Fiend Sect are.

"Next up is Yanming's storage bag."

Xu Yun took out another storage bag, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

As a true disciple of the Blood Fiend Sect, Yanming is also the main person in charge of refining the restrictions of the Azure Spirit Lake Secret Realm. He must hold a very high position and possess some excellent items.

Thinking of this, he opened the storage bag and looked inside. Sure enough, not to mention anything else, there were at least several thousand spirit stones piled up together, exceeding the reserves of each demonic cultivator.

There were also some elixirs, talismans, rare and precious materials, and even some decent magical artifacts, especially the extraordinary magical pearl.

This extraordinary treasure, the Manifestation Pearl, can accumulate the power of cultivators and convert it into its own power without any rejection, just like when Yanming used a portion of the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Logically speaking, as a Qi Refining cultivator, he should not be able to withstand it, but with the help of this Manifestation Pearl, he was able to use it without any hindrance.

If he hadn't encountered Xu Yun and Daoist Tianlin, he could have roamed freely within the secret realm with this Manifestation Pearl.

"Not bad, not bad. This Manifestation Pearl is a good thing. Later, we can let Daoist Tianlin accumulate some power in it to use as a trump card."

Xu Yun nodded slightly, put down the Manifestation Pearl, and then took out another item from his storage bag.

This was clearly a mask, entirely black, which at first glance seemed unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, one would find that the mask's presence was gradually diminishing.

This was before Xu Yun activated his magic power. As he infused it with magic power and refined it, the information inside surfaced. With Yanming explaining it to him, he quickly learned all the information about the mask.

"This item is called the Invisible Mask. It can conceal or change one's aura. By absorbing the essence and aura of others, it can transform into the exact same appearance. It is also a rare treasure. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators will find it difficult to recognize it after it is used."

Xu Yun held the black mask and his eyes lit up; it suited him perfectly.

After all, Xu Yun will have to do some shady things to complete the tasks issued by the Initial Saint System in the future. This mask can help him better hide his identity and avoid unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, according to Yanming, it was precisely because of this invisible mask that he was able to enter the Biling Lake Secret Realm unharmed despite being blocked by a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even silently refine the secret realm's restrictions.

This clearly demonstrates that the name "invisible mask" is well-deserved.

"Indeed, as a true disciple of the Blood Fiend Sect, the resources he possesses are extraordinary."

A moment later, Xu Yun finished checking Yanming's storage bag and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling completely satisfied.

This trip to the Biling Lake Secret Realm was incredibly rewarding for Yanming, with his storage bag alone yielding a wealth of treasures, not to mention the other opportunities he encountered within the realm.

Of course, the most important opportunity for Xu Yun was the reward issued by the Initial Saint System.

Thinking of this, Xu Yun immediately summoned the light screen. With a slight thought, ripples appeared on the light screen, and then a jade bottle emerged from it and landed in his palm.

Xu Yun held the jade bottle with a solemn expression. Inside was the Yuanming Pill, a divine elixir that could increase the progress of the Tempering Spirit Technique!
