Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

"Brother Xu, if you need spirit stones in the future, just tell me. Don't worry about it."

Wen Lingyu glanced coldly at a private room on the top floor, then looked at Xu Yun with a worried expression.

She never expected that Shi Han would be so despicable, not only spreading rumors about them but also maliciously inflating the price for Xu Yun.

As a result, Xu Yun suffered a significant loss of wealth and resources, which could even affect his cultivation.

"Brother Xu, we are sworn brothers who have gone through thick and thin together since Qingyu Market. If you have any difficulties, just tell me."

Lin Zuibai blurted out that after experiencing many things, he naturally valued this sworn brotherhood even more and didn't want to see anything happen to Xu Yun.

"Don't worry, Brother Lin, Sister Wen, I won't lose much by bidding for this second-tier talisman brush. In fact, it will help me improve my talisman skills."

Xu Yun smiled slightly, not revealing that he was already able to draw second-tier talismans. After all, it was too astonishing, and accidentally revealing it might cause trouble.

However, in order not to worry his two sworn friends, Xu Yun deliberately put on a rather relaxed appearance.

Seeing this, Lin Zuibai and Wen Lingyu had no choice but to give up and continue watching as one auction item after another appeared, attracting many bidders.

There were even Foundation Establishment spiritual items inside, which made Lin Zuibai and Wen Lingyu extremely excited. Even Shi Han, who was in the top-floor private room, participated in the bidding without hesitation, looking hysterical.

Xu Yunming outwardly expressed great desire, but inwardly remained unmoved, simply because that Foundation Establishment spiritual item was a suitable material for breaking through the Divine Sense barrier.

Xu Yun had already developed his divine sense, so this challenge was a piece of cake for him, posing no difficulty whatsoever.

Finally, the Foundation Establishment artifact that allowed him to break through the barrier of divine consciousness was auctioned off to a distinguished guest who was also in the top-floor VIP box, leaving Shi Han furious but helpless.

"Heh, serves you right."

Seeing this, Xu Yun and the others felt much better, and the annoyance they had felt from the malicious price gouging subsided somewhat.

After several more rounds of auctions, the final item was brought out: a high-grade second-tier spiritual artifact, which immediately caused a sensation throughout the venue.

This auction had nothing to do with Qi Refining cultivators anymore; many Foundation Establishment cultivators participated and bid wildly.

Spiritual artifacts are rare, and second-tier high-grade spiritual artifacts are even rarer. If one could win the auction, it would definitely greatly enhance one's combat power. Therefore, every Foundation Establishment cultivator was determined to win, and they bid an unimaginable amount.

Ultimately, this second-tier high-grade spiritual artifact was won by an unknown distinguished guest, and the auction came to an end.

After delivering the spirit stones deep within the auction house, Xu Yun received the Golden Pattern Talisman Brush. He then bid farewell to the others and returned to his own cave dwelling.

"Hmm... this second-tier rune pen has solved my immediate problem."

Xu Yun took out the second-tier golden-patterned talisman brush and nodded slightly in satisfaction. With this brush, he could draw second-tier talismans much more easily.

During this time, you can also collect more Tier 2 talisman paper and draw more Tier 2 talismans.

If any danger arises, these second-tier talismans can serve as a trump card.

With this in mind, Xu Yun tried using the second-tier gold-patterned talisman brush to draw talismans, and the effect was quite good.

As Xu Yun continued to draw talismans and cultivate, time quietly passed.

Before we knew it, several months had passed.

Inkwind City.

Inside Tianhe Tower.

As always, Xu Yun came here to hand over the drawn talismans, and this time he did so much more often than before.

After all, in other people's eyes, he must have spent a lot of money to win the bid for the second-tier golden rune pen, making him a penniless pauper.

In this situation, he could only work harder than ever to draw talismans. Of course, Xu Yun usually entrusted this task to his banner spirits, while he himself cultivated other techniques and supernatural powers.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you are truly lucky. I happen to have a trace of the material you need here."

As soon as Xu Yun entered Tianhe Tower, Wen Xinlan came out excitedly, holding a jade slip in her hand. "Hey, take a look for yourself."

As she spoke, Wen Xinlan handed the jade slip in her hand to Xu Yun.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun handed the storage bag containing the talismans to the other party while taking the jade slip and sticking it to his forehead.

The next moment, his divine sense spread out, sweeping through all the information inside, allowing Xu Yun to understand everything instantly.

"So that's how it is. Traces of the Bloodflame Beast were discovered in the Cloud Bright Forest?"

Xu Yun put down the jade slip in his hand, murmured, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

During this period of time, in addition to working hard to cultivate, he has also been constantly collecting the materials he needs from various channels.

In addition to materials related to the Foundation Establishment Pill, there are also materials for cultivating the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Method.

Although he has now cultivated the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique to the first level and has a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object such as the Heavenly Yang Spirit Mushroom, he is quite confident in breaking through the Qi and Blood barrier.

Even so, if possible, Xu Yun would naturally like to increase this considerable confidence level even further, so that the risk would be reduced significantly.

Therefore, Xu Yun has been cultivating the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique, but unfortunately, due to the lack of resources, his progress is not fast. He originally thought it would take a long time to obtain the resources required for this technique.

But to his surprise, Wen Xinlan had already obtained relevant clues after he had only mentioned it briefly.

Of course, he did not reveal that he was practicing the "Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique," but used other excuses to indicate that he needed related resources.

"The essence blood of the Bloodflame Beast contains surging vital energy. If one could refine it, it would significantly enhance one's cultivation of the 'Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique.'"

Xu Yun thought about it for a while and felt that he needed to go.

Yunming Forest is located south of Mofeng City. Depending on my speed and distance, it will take about five or six days to reach.

As for whether there might be any traps or anything like that, Xu Yun had known Wen Xinlan for a long time and was well aware of her character, so there was no need to worry.

Even if the other party has some bad intentions, with his own methods and trump cards, he is not afraid of even a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and can even cause some damage to them.

Thinking of this, Xu Yun immediately put away the jade slip, accepted the reward prepared by Wen Xinlan, cupped his hands and smiled, "Thank you very much for the information, Manager Wen. I really don't know how to thank you enough."

It must be said that Wenxinlan did provide him with many useful resources, which greatly reduced his stress and time.

"Haha, no need for that. Of course, if Fellow Daoist Xu insists on thanking me..."

As Wen Xinlan spoke, a slight blush rose on her cheeks, and she became somewhat shy, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of melancholy as she looked at herself.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yun immediately realized something, chuckled, and said, "There's no time to lose, I need to prepare the necessary resources first. Manager Wen, I'll take my leave now."

After speaking, Xu Yun bowed once more and left Tianhe Tower.

"Why......"

When Wen Xinlan saw Xu Yun leave, a look of disappointment appeared in her eyes, and she sighed helplessly.

This Fellow Daoist Xu is good in every way, except that he values ​​cultivation too much and is not someone who is obsessed with romance.

However, it is precisely because of this that he has achieved what he has today, and he has also quietly touched her heart.
