Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

"A spirit contract given by the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun reached out and grabbed the jade slip, scanning it with his spiritual sense. Immediately, a series of information flooded his mind.

A moment later, Xu Yun's expression turned somewhat strange.

Not only him, but the other sworn brothers also had different expressions, some were deep in thought, some were surprised, and some were puzzled. Then they all looked at Lin Zuibai.

"I'm sure all of you brothers and sisters have seen the contents of the Spirit Pact."

Lin Zuibai scanned everyone one by one and slowly said, "The person who commissioned us was very satisfied after seeing the Nine Cold Netherworld Flower, and then gave us this Grade D offering spirit contract, so we will be a member of the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild from now on."

"I know that some of you brothers and sisters are puzzled by the treatment given to this rank D, but this is already the limit of the commissioner's ability."

At this point, Lin Zuibai also felt somewhat helpless, as this Grade D spirit contract was the lowest grade of spirit contract in the entire Muyun Chamber of Commerce.

It's called being a worshipper, but it's just a nice-sounding title. The treatment they receive isn't bad, but it's about the same as that of ordinary members of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce. They have to rely on themselves for everything.

The only advantage that can be considered is the right to unrestricted personal freedom.

"I know that my brothers and sisters have different opinions about this D-level offering of the spirit contract, but there's nothing we can do about it."

Lin Zuibai sighed and said helplessly, "As I said before, this Nine Cold Netherworld Flower is related to the internal strife of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce. The person who commissioned it wants to obtain it, but there are also people in the Muyun Chamber of Commerce who are unwilling to let this Nine Cold Netherworld Flower appear."

"As far as I know, the Muyun Chamber of Commerce was actually founded by three Foundation Establishment families: the Ziyu Zhao family, the Qingchuan Liu family, and the Ruohe Wen family."

"Among them, the Liu family and the Zhao family were openly and secretly fighting each other within the Muyun Chamber of Commerce. My client was a member of one of them. He originally wanted us to join his family and offered better treatment, but I refused."

"In order to avoid getting involved in the struggle between these two families, I chose the D-level spirit contract. Although the treatment is worse, it has the advantage of unrestricted freedom, which means neutrality."

"After all, the Muyun Chamber of Commerce still needs to develop. As long as we choose neutrality, the power struggles between the two major families will be irrelevant to us. We just need to focus on developing ourselves."

Lin Zuibai immediately revealed the reason, which stunned everyone present. They hadn't expected there to be such an inside story.

While surprised, Xu Yun couldn't help but admire Lin Zuibai's sense of propriety and tact. If Lin Zuibai had joined one of the families, Xu Yun would probably have refused.

The reason is simple: both the Zhao family and the Liu family are Foundation Establishment families, and they are openly and secretly fighting each other. If you join them, you will inevitably be drawn into many storms.

Xu Yun wanted to join the Muyun Chamber of Commerce simply to obtain resources and cultivate properly, not to fight for others.

Therefore, the Grade D Offering Spirit Contract that Lin Zuibai obtained was undoubtedly the best choice for Xu Yun.

Moreover, this Grade D offering spirit contract has room for improvement and does not mean that its future is fixed, which is acceptable to Xu Yun.

"I have already signed this spiritual contract, but brothers and sisters are free to sign if they do not wish to."

Lin Zuibai looked around at everyone and said seriously, "Even if you don't sign this spiritual contract, you will still be my brothers and sisters, and I am willing to swear an oath that you can come to me if you ever need any help."

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately changed their expressions, surprised by Lin Zuibai's words.

The so-called Dao oath is a rule that a cultivator sets for himself. Once violated, it will inevitably affect his state of mind, and in severe cases, it may even lead to demonic possession.

For cultivators who aspire to the path of cultivation, making a vow is never easy, which shows Lin Zuibai's determination and sincerity.

"I have long admired the Muyun Chamber of Commerce, and Brother Lin has considered everything very carefully, so I have no objections."

Just then, Wen Lingyu, who had a serene and dignified expression, suddenly spoke up and, under everyone's gaze, directly signed her name on the jade slip.

At the same time, he dripped a drop of his own blood into the jade slip, and a burst of clear light appeared, indicating that the spiritual contract was immediately effective.

Xu Yun was not to be outdone; he also signed his name on the spirit contract and infused it with his essence blood.

Seeing this, Shi Han and Xiao Menglin no longer hesitated. They were independent cultivators, and they couldn't miss the opportunity to join the Muyun Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, they were a group of sworn friends who joined at the same time, so they could look out for each other.

"Okay, thank you for your trust, brothers and sisters. I will definitely not let you down."

Upon seeing everyone's decision, Lin Zuibai stood up and bowed solemnly.

At the same time, he was also inwardly pleased that he had not misjudged them. Although he had made a vow before, he still hoped that these brothers and sisters could join the Muyun Chamber of Commerce with him.

After all, if he wanted to obtain more resources within the Muyun Chamber of Commerce, or even advance his career, he needed the help of trustworthy people, and his sworn friends were undoubtedly his best helpers.

"Brothers and sisters, according to the contents of the spirit contract, we will leave Qingyu Market in five days and head to the Muyun Merchant Guild branch in Mofeng City to carry out the D-level offering mission. Please prepare well in the next few days."

After realizing that the matter was settled, Lin Zuibai didn't stand on ceremony and gave everyone a few reminders.

Xu Yun nodded in agreement, and at the same time, he was also very much looking forward to it. After all, the reason he wanted to join the Muyun Chamber of Commerce was to gain more channels to acquire resources.

Qingyu Market was ultimately too backward to meet Xu Yun's cultivation needs. In comparison, he had heard of the reputation of Mofeng City.

It is one of the most famous immortal cities in the Yuan Kingdom. In Xu Yun's opinion, both the cultivation environment and the scale of trade are quite good, which is just right for him.

After exchanging a few more words, the group dispersed to prepare for their departure from Qingyu Market.

........

Time passed quietly, and five days later...

Qingyufang Market.

Inside a cave.

Xu Yun sat cross-legged, formed hand seals, closed his eyes and concentrated, and his aura began to gradually rise.

As he circulated his cultivation technique, spiritual energy from within the cave flowed in, continuously being absorbed into Xu Yun's body for refinement, spreading to his internal organs, limbs, and bones for tempering.

Throughout this process, Xu Yun remained calm and his breathing was smooth, without any hindrance whatsoever.

Buzz!

Under the powerful control of his spiritual sense, Xu Yun naturally refined the spiritual energy sweeping in from all around him. Neither the path of his cultivation technique nor his own state showed any abnormality; it was as if it were just instinct.

boom!!

The next moment, Xu Yun's aura reached a critical point, and then, without any hindrance, it broke through directly like flowing clouds and water, causing his aura to rise and form layers of air waves.

Qi Refining Level 6, Breakthrough!
