Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

As Xu Yun walked down the street, he was able to see many faces he had never seen before.

These are all cultivators who came to Mofeng City for refuge. Some settled down directly, while others gathered strategic resources here, hoping to find opportunities amidst this turmoil.

However, due to the large number of people seeking refuge, Mofeng City has recently faced a shortage of law enforcement cultivators and is currently working to dispatch personnel to guard the city and maintain order.

As Xu Yun thought this, he soon arrived in front of Tianhe Tower and saw that the crowd was even larger than before.

Clearly, these cultivators came to purchase strategic resources, especially those who yearned for the path of cultivation or sought to protect themselves. They bought without regard to cost, greatly increasing the number of transactions for Tianhe Tower.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you've arrived."

Xu Yun walked directly to the depths of Tianhe Tower and skillfully approached a counter, where he saw Wen Xinlan standing behind him with a smile.

Xu Yun handed over the storage bag containing the talismans and chuckled, "Congratulations, Manager Wen! Thanks to your hard work, Tianhe Tower has seized many business opportunities ahead of time."

As far as Xu Yun knew, Wen Xinlan sold a lot of high-grade talismans and pills, and occasionally offered discounts, which attracted the favor of many cultivators.

Thanks to this, Wen Xinlan's Tianhelou became one of the shops with the highest customer traffic in Mofeng City, making it the envy of many of her competitors.

"Hehe, I still have to thank Fellow Daoist Xu and Fellow Daoist Wen for your help. Otherwise, how could I have achieved what I have today? Oh, and please accept these spirit stones."

Wen Xinlan covered her mouth and chuckled, a hint of emotion in her eyes. Putting aside the others, it was thanks to Xu Yun who devoted some of his cultivation time to drawing many high-grade talismans that Tianhe Tower was able to achieve its current prosperity.

Furthermore, through Xu Yun's introduction, Wen Lingyu also joined in, providing Tianhe Tower with a considerable amount of pills, thereby increasing its profits.

Thanks to this, the Tianhelou brand of Oncidium orchids has captured a significant portion of the mid-to-lower-end market.

"Manager Wen, you flatter me."

Xu Yun smiled slightly. He had put a lot of thought into these talismans, even though he hadn't done anything himself.

But the banner spirit was also his possession, and after much effort and sweat, he had put in a great deal of work.

With that in mind, he accepted the numerous spirit stones handed over by Wen Xinlan without any qualms. This was no small amount; it was even enough to support a Qi Refining family for a year.

However, due to the recent turmoil in the Yuan Kingdom, Wen Xinlan's Tianhe Tower has made a considerable profit. In addition, in order to better win over Xu Yun, she thinks this price is completely worthwhile.

"Oh? Brother Xu has arrived?"

Just then, Wen Lingyu slowly walked down a set of steps from Tianhe Tower. When she saw Xu Yun, her face, which had been somewhat complicated, froze for a moment before she immediately smiled.

Seeing this, Xu Yun also cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Sister Wen, I've just come to deliver the talisman."

Since the Yuan Tian Sect and the Tian Ming Palace have been engaged in continuous warfare, which has affected the situation in the Yuan Kingdom, things have become somewhat chaotic outside Mo Feng City.

To prevent cultivators with ulterior motives from taking advantage of the chaos, Mofeng City entrusted the Muyun Merchant Guild and other forces to dispatch personnel to maintain order inside and outside the city.

For this reason, the other sworn friends all took on the tasks, some patrolling the situation in Mofeng City, and others maintaining the resource points of the Muyun Merchant Guild.

Therefore, Xu Yun and his other sworn friends had not seen each other for some time, and even their correspondence had become less frequent.

Wen Lingyu, on the other hand, accepted Wen Xinlan's commission and even moved into Tianhe Tower to refine pills more effectively, where she frequently worked on pill refining.

Thanks to this, Xu Yun and Wen Lingyu were able to see each other frequently, and there was no sign of them becoming estranged.

"I see. I just finished refining a batch of pills and was about to hand them over to Manager Wen. What a coincidence."

With a smile, Wen Lingyu handed the pills she had previously refined to Wen Xinlan.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun's eyes flickered, and she suddenly recalled the complex expression she had seen on the other woman's face earlier. She couldn't help but ask, "Sister Wen, you seem a bit off lately. Is something wrong?"

Xu Yun had actually been in contact with Wen Lingyu for longer than Lin Zuibai and the others, so he was able to keenly perceive the changes in Wen Lingyu during this period.

They were sworn brothers after all, and he wouldn't mind helping them out as long as it didn't affect him personally.

"Is it because you've been refining pills for too long, causing mental fatigue?"

Seeing this, Wen Xinlan couldn't help but show her consideration for others, and said softly, "If there is any unusual situation, you can tell me. You don't have to force yourself."

Wen Lingyu is a C-level retainer and a mid-grade first-level alchemist, with a bright future ahead of her.

Wenxinlan naturally did not want to create conflict with her.

"No, I'm fine, and Master Yang is very willing to teach me about alchemy. I can't miss this opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Wen Lingyu quickly waved her hand, pretending that she was alright.

Xu Yun seemed to be deep in thought upon seeing this. He had also heard of that alchemist, Yang Danshi, who was a first-grade high-level alchemist and a second-grade retainer, holding a high position and great power in Mofeng City.

This alchemist, Yang, occasionally accepts tasks from the Muyun Merchant Guild to provide pills. This time, he came to Tianhe Tower to refine pills and also to give Wen Lingyu some pointers.

"I see. Master Yang is an excellent alchemist. Fellow Daoist Wen will surely be able to learn a lot of alchemy skills from him."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xinlan solemnly replied that the alchemist Yang was someone she herself had to flatter.

Since Wen Lingyu is valued by him, she must have a good talent for alchemy. Perhaps in time she will be able to achieve the position of a second-grade retainer.

Thinking of this, Wen Xinlan suddenly realized that she needed to cultivate a better relationship with Wen Lingyu in the future.

"Thank you very much."

Upon hearing this, Wen Lingyu hesitated for a moment, then seemed to remember something, a smile appearing on her gentle and calm face, as if nothing had happened.

Xu Yun's eyes flickered slightly upon seeing this, but he didn't say anything more, even though he felt that Wen Lingyu clearly had something on her mind.

But since the other party had no intention of revealing the answer, it would be pointless for him to ask any further questions, since it was none of his business anyway.

With that in mind, Xu Yun chatted with the two for a while longer before taking his leave.

"Oh, Brother Xu?"

Xu Yun was walking down the street, heading back to his cave dwelling, when suddenly a rather familiar voice came from behind him.

Xu Yun was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black-haired man in a green robe with a look of surprise on his face.

After a moment's thought, Xu Yun retrieved the memories belonging to this person from his sea of ​​consciousness. It turned out to be Liu Bailin, a member of the collateral branch of the Qingchuan Liu family who had previously tried to recruit him.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Liu. It's been a long time."

Xu Yun hesitated for a moment, then bowed respectfully in person, a hint of surprise on his face.

After all, he had no conflict with the other party. If he kept avoiding the other party, it would make him seem guilty, which might backfire.
