Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

"This method of concealing one's breath is quite useful."

Xu Yun looked down at Yi Fengyuan's mangled body and spoke with a sigh.

Yi Fengyuan's strength is indeed impressive, and his years of experience as a cultivator have made his combat skills incredibly refined.

Unfortunately, he ran into Xu Yun.

Although Xu Yun was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, after being cleansed by the high-quality Spirit Ascension Pill, he not only broke through in cultivation but also recovered all the hidden ailments in his body. Therefore, in terms of meridians and physical body, he was even superior to Yi Fengyuan.

In addition, Xu Yun had a Foundation Establishment remnant soul to teach him, who gave him many effective secret techniques, which greatly improved his combat ability.

"However, this Yi Fengyuan really just looks like an ordinary Tribulation cultivator, nothing special about him. I thought he was trying to lure me in."

Xu Yun shook his head and sighed. He had seemed to be fighting with Yi Fengyuan, but in reality, he had sent Tianlin Daoist to observe the situation.

If anything seems amiss, get out of there immediately.

However, nothing unusual happened until the very end, and Yi Fengyuan was successfully killed by himself.

"That's fine, after all, the fishpond game has no risk and is quite profitable."

Thinking this, Xu Yun took out the Myriad Spirit Banner and waved it slightly. Instantly, streams of inexplicable aura rippled out and landed on the corpses of Yi Fengyuan and the other two.

Immediately afterwards, three illusory souls appeared, and with Xu Yun making a hand seal, the banner of the Myriad Spirits Banner swayed as they were directly drawn into the Myriad Spirits Banner.

Subsequently, Xu Yun used the same method to refine them all into the spirits of the Myriad Spirits Banner.

They also took all their storage bags and erased all traces of the fighting to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

"What a pity, the other two got away."

Xu Yun glanced in the direction the other two had just fled and couldn't help but sigh regretfully.

Previously, he and Daoist Tianlin had focused their attention on Yi Fengyuan to prevent any unusual occurrences around them, thus neglecting the two cultivators. Otherwise, they could have added another layer to their gains this time.

It's too late to chase after them now. Given the commotion, it might attract other cultivators, and things could get complicated if we delay. We should leave as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Xu Yun had no choice but to suppress his thoughts and quietly leave the place.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest.

Shi Han gritted his teeth, disregarding his own exhaustion, and helped Xiao Menglin escape towards Qingyu Market.

Although they didn't know what had just happened, it undoubtedly gave them hope of survival, so Shi Han immediately seized the opportunity and desperately tried to escape.

Even so, Shi Han was still very worried that the Black Wind Three Fiends would catch up, so he could only pray desperately in his heart.

"Brother Shi, it seems the Black Wind Three Fiends haven't caught up. Are we saved?"

A moment later, Xiao Menglin, who was being helped, asked softly, a look of surprise on her face.

After all, given the cultivation level of the Black Wind Three Fiends, if the explosion just now was just an accident, they should have been able to catch up quickly.

Shi Han clearly thought the same thing as her, and even thought more deeply: "Could it be that a chivalrous person secretly helped us? Otherwise, with the strength of the Black Wind Three Fiends, we would have no chance of escaping."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Menglin's eyes lit up, and she felt that this was very likely.

Otherwise, given the despicable nature of the Black Wind Three Fiends, they would have already caught up and captured them all by now.

"Brother Shi is right. It seems we've met a benefactor this time."

Xiao Menglin smiled, relieved, and couldn't help but think that there were still many good people in this world.

It must be the Black Wind Three Fiends who have committed many evil deeds, provoking the anger of the righteous people.

"If I have the chance, I really want to meet that benefactor and thank him properly."

Shi Han sighed from the bottom of his heart, then steadied himself and quietly left the forest with Xiao Menglin, hurrying back to Qingyu Market to heal their wounds.

........

Inside a cave dwelling in Qingyufang Market.

Xu Yun sat on a futon, with three storage bags in front of him, a look of excitement on his face.

This trip not only yielded three banner spirits, but more importantly, it also brought back all the wealth they possessed.

Through the three banner spirits, Xu Yun also learned that they were a gang of thieves known as the Black Wind Three Fiends, whose fearsome reputation was widespread in the area.

If that's the case, it means they must have a lot of good things about them.

"Hehe, let me see what good stuff you have."

Xu Yun wiped his hands and then took out one of the storage bags. The restrictions on it had long been broken by the Black Wind Three Fiends, who had become his banner spirits, so he easily found out what was inside.

The first thing that caught his eye was some spirit stones; Xu Yun roughly estimated that there should be more than a hundred of them.

Next were three bottles of pills, several medicinal herbs, and some talismans, cultivation techniques, and other miscellaneous items.

The other storage bag was a bit more plentiful, but not by much; for Xu Yun, it was better than nothing.

"Only one storage bag remains, which belongs to Yi Fengyuan."

Xu Yun picked up the storage bag, a look of anticipation on his face. As the eldest of the Black Wind Trio, he always received the largest share of the spoils.

Therefore, Yi Fengyuan has the most resources, otherwise how could he have cultivated to the fifth level of Qi Refining?

Thinking of this, Xu Yun immediately opened the storage bag without hesitation and carefully examined the contents.

Xu Yun glanced inside and saw a pile of spirit stones, far exceeding the number in the other two storage bags. He roughly estimated that there were at least four or five hundred spirit stones.

"No wonder he's the boss of the robbery gang, he's really rich!"

Xu Yun sighed in admiration. These spirit stones alone made it all worthwhile for him; it truly was a case of "murderers and arsonists wearing golden belts."

It's truly baffling how many cultivators the Black Wind Three Fiends robbed, accumulating such a vast fortune, which they've now all given to me.

Thinking of this, Xu Yun excitedly shifted his gaze and looked at other things.

Besides some common cultivation techniques, secret arts, and rare and precious materials, several bottles of pills instantly caught Xu Yun's attention.

"This is... a Spirit Ascension Pill."

Xu Yun picked up one of the jade bottles, opened the stopper, and poured out a blue pill, which surprised him.

He was extremely familiar with the Spirit Ascension Pill, except that the one he had taken before was a high-quality Spirit Ascension Pill, while this one was an ordinary one.

"After all, it is a pill that can be used to break through realms, so it is somewhat useful to me."

Xu Yun murmured to himself, carefully putting away the Spirit Ascension Pill. In principle, every kind of pill has its own medicinal properties. If too much is taken, the effect of the pill will become less and less, until it is gone.

However, the premium Spirit Enhancement Pill is different; it not only has a stronger effect but also reduces the adverse effects of other medicines.

In other words, Xu Yun's experience of taking this ordinary-grade Spirit Ascension Pill was no different from his first time taking it; it was still quite effective.

"This harvest was truly a pleasant surprise."

After Xu Yun counted and sorted out all his gains, a smile appeared on his face. Now, his wealth was quite substantial even among Qi Refining cultivators.
