Time passed quietly, and several months later...

Inkwind City.

Inside Tianhe Tower.

"It is all thanks to Fellow Daoist Xu that I was spared punishment."

Behind the counter, Wen Xinlan smiled at Xu Yun, who came over to hand over the talisman, covering her mouth, her eyes revealing deep emotion and gratitude.

Ever since Xu Yun sent the Biyue Alliance cultivator, who was disguised as a demonic cultivator, to the Muyun Chamber of Commerce branch for handling by the higher-ups, and after a period of severe interrogation, the other party finally revealed the truth.

This matter alarmed the headquarters of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce, which immediately launched a series of measures to coerce and entice the Biyue Alliance, demanding benefits.

After all, their Muyun Chamber of Commerce was a victim, while the Biyue Alliance was plundering and disguising themselves as demonic cultivators, so they might be involved with demonic forces.

Such a momentous event would be extremely detrimental to the Azure Water Alliance if other righteous forces were to learn of it.

Therefore, the Azure Water Alliance had no choice but to painfully relinquish many benefits, allowing the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild to gain considerable advantages and further enhance its strength.

Thanks to this, Wen Xinlan's punishment for failing to escort the goods was also cancelled, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Manager Wen, you flatter me. I was just lucky."

As Xu Yun accepted the payment, he shook his head and chuckled, appearing quite emotional.

During this period, the Muyun Chamber of Commerce used the Biyue Alliance cultivator they had captured to employ various tactics against the Biyue Alliance, forcing them to cede many benefits.

As a reward for capturing the Azure Water Alliance cultivator, the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild specially awarded Xu Yun three thousand contribution points, making Xu Yun extremely excited.

It should be noted that these contribution points can be exchanged for various resources within the Muyun Chamber of Commerce, some of which are even rare to find outside, including extremely precious treasures such as Foundation Establishment Pills.

Adding the 1,000 contribution points he gained from the attack on Tianhe Tower, the 3,000 contribution points he obtained from defeating the Biyue Alliance cultivators, and the various large and small tasks he completed, Xu Yun now had at least 5,000 contribution points.

The Foundation Establishment Pill requires a full 10,000 contribution points according to the exchange list within the Muyun Chamber of Commerce. Given Xu Yun's current progress, with a little effort and by borrowing some points from others, he might be able to exchange for it.

"However, I recently heard that Foundation Establishment Pills are quite scarce within the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild. Even if I manage to gather 10,000 contribution points, I might still have to wait in line."

Xu Yun murmured to himself. Since breaking through to the Divine Sense Realm, he had focused his energy on Foundation Establishment Pills and cultivating the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique.

Among them, the Foundation Establishment Pill has taken up a lot of his energy. He has already collected some auxiliary medicines and is still inquiring about possible channels to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Xu Yun never puts all his eggs in one basket; the Muyun Chamber of Commerce is just one of his options, and there's nothing he can do if things don't work out.

"Ah, Fellow Daoist Xu is being modest again. I wish I could have your kind of luck."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xinlan rolled her eyes at Xu Yun, shook her head and sighed. The atmosphere between them was very friendly, like friends joking around.

Since they started getting to know each other, her relationship with Xu Yun has become increasingly closer. In addition to recognizing his excellent character, she is more interested in his potential.

It should be noted that Xu Yun had previously captured the cultivator who was disguised as the Azure Water Alliance, which brought many benefits to the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild. The branch president, Wen Xuanqi, even praised him highly.

Given the strength the opponent displayed during the Tianhe Tower attack, there is no doubt that they might achieve Foundation Establishment in the future.

Once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you'll experience a leap in status, becoming a significant figure even within the Muyun Merchant Guild.

If Wen Xinlan befriends Xu Yun in advance, she may have a powerful backer in the future, and she will be able to gain more benefits within the family.

For this reason, Wen Xinlan has become increasingly attentive to Xu Yun during this period, and has even developed some feelings for him.

However, to Wen Xinlan's dismay, no matter how she tried to subtly bring it up, Xu Yun would always manage to steer clear of the topic.

"Haha, Manager Wen..."

Seeing this, Xu Yun was about to say something when suddenly a series of hurried footsteps came from outside Tianhe Tower. The noise was so loud that he couldn't help but turn around to look.

Immediately afterwards, a woman dressed in a light blue dress, with a serene and beautiful face, but whose clothes were somewhat disheveled, came running towards them.

Xu Yun was surprised to see the woman panting and pale. "Fellow Daoist Yao, what's wrong? Where's Brother Lin?"

Xu Yun recognized the woman in front of him; her name was Yao Lin. She was one of Lin Zuibai's close friends who often went on missions with him, and they shared a life-and-death bond.

However, based on Xu Yun's previous understanding, Yao Lin should be carrying out a mission with Lin Zuibai, so why would he come to Tianhe Tower at this time?

In an instant, Xu Yun suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Xu, Fellow Daoist Xu, we've finally found you! Your elder brother is seriously injured and on the verge of death. He's currently receiving treatment at the Muyun Chamber of Commerce's clinic. Fellow Daoist Wen is also on his way. Come with me quickly."

Yao Lin's voice was choked with emotion, and her eyes were slightly red, as if she was forcibly holding back tears, revealing a sense of vulnerability.

"What? I'm coming right away!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun's expression turned serious. Over the years, he had developed a deep friendship with Lin Zuibai.

Upon hearing this news, he immediately couldn't sit still and bowed to Wen Xinlan, saying, "Excuse me, Manager Wen, I must take my leave now."

"Alright, if you encounter any trouble, just tell me, and I'll help in any way I can."

Wen Xinlan nodded solemnly in response. She knew the seriousness of the matter, but unfortunately, as the manager of Tianhe Tower, she could not leave at will. She could only express her concern and feelings by saying these words.

"Thank you, Manager Wen." After saying this, Xu Yun hurriedly left with Yao Lin.

On the way, Yao Lin led the way while choking back tears, saying, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault."

"If Fellow Daoist Lin hadn't been accidentally grazed by the venom of that second-tier Azure Spirit Serpent while protecting me, he wouldn't have been in such a critical condition."

Xu Yun followed behind him, and was surprised to hear Yao Lin's words. He hadn't expected that they would encounter a second-tier Azure Spirit Serpent on this mission.

That was a demonic beast equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and its power, thanks to its demonic body and bloodline, was even greater.

Not to mention that the Azure Serpent's venom is extremely potent; even a slight brush against it could be a matter of life and death. Lin Zuibai's chance of receiving treatment is an extremely rare exception.

"Good people are always protected by heaven; Brother Lin will definitely be alright."

Now that things have come to this, Xu Yun could only comfort Yao Lin in this way, as this situation was indeed very rare and he had no experience with it.

Yao Lin nodded repeatedly as he hurried along, and soon they arrived at a clinic.

This clinic occupies a large area and looks extremely simple. It is made entirely of a special kind of wood and exudes a faint fragrance.

Behind this medical clinic stands the Muyun Merchant Guild, which is quite famous throughout Mofeng City. Many cultivators come here for treatment when they are injured.
