Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

"Unfortunately, there are too few traces of the Bloodflame Beast. If I could use its essence blood to temper myself two or three more times, I might be able to break through to the second level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique."

Xu Yun murmured to himself, but this was just a thought. He had spent a lot of time searching for traces of the Bloodflame Beast.

Unfortunately, so far, Xu Yun has only found the Bloodflame Beast in the Cloud Bright Forest. Other leads have basically disappeared without a trace, leaving Xu Yun somewhat helpless.

However, to break through to the second level of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refinement Technique, it is not only the essence blood of the Blood Flame Beast that is needed. He has been persistently collecting resources suitable for cultivating the Blood Sacrifice Body Refinement Technique through various channels.

At that time, it is possible that we may discover rare and precious materials with effects similar to, or even better than, the essence of the Bloodflame Beast.

Buzz!

Just as Xu Yun had sorted out his thoughts and started cleaning himself of the grime, a wave suddenly emanated from outside the cave.

While using the Cleansing Water Technique to tidy his face, Xu Yun quietly extended his divine sense to take in the situation outside.

Soon, Xu Yun, who had finished tidying up, raised an eyebrow and looked quite surprised.

Because the source of the disturbance from the outside world was none other than Shi Han, whom they had previously cut off all contact with!

Under Xu Yun's divine sense, he appeared very reserved. After throwing out the transmission talisman, he stood quietly in place and waited.

"I see. Is it because of Wen Siyue, whom I've been in frequent contact with lately?"

Xu Yun only needed to think for a moment to deduce the reason why the other party had come here, and couldn't help but reveal a playful smile.

Wen Siyue is the eldest daughter of the Wen family of Ruohe. She is exceptionally talented, holds a high position of power, and is deeply favored by the Wen family patriarch. She is very important in the entire Muyun Chamber of Commerce.

His contact with such a person would naturally cause conflict within the Muyun Chamber of Commerce, or even panic among his enemies. It would be only natural for him to swallow his pride and apologize.

Buzz!

While thinking, Xu Yun took out the token, opened a gap in the formation, and held the communication talisman in his palm.

Immediately afterwards, he infused it with his magic power and activated it. Soon, Shi Han's respectful words came from it, "Brother Xu, please come out for a moment. I have something to discuss with you. All the things that happened in the past were just a misunderstanding."

"Fine, let me see what Shi Han is up to."

Xu Yun sneered, then put down the communication talisman in his hand, slowly got up, and left the cave.

Soon, he stepped out of the cave and saw Shi Han, who had been waiting outside the formation.

Upon seeing Xu Yun approaching, Shi Han's eyes immediately lit up, and he greeted him with a smile, bowing respectfully and saying, "Brother Xu, it's truly been a long time..."

"Hmph, just say what you have to say, or shut up."

Xu Yun spoke bluntly and without any politeness upon meeting him, showing no respect whatsoever.

Upon hearing this, Shi Han's smiling face froze, and some veins even bulged on it.

As a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator and the son-in-law of the Ziyu Zhao family, he was a prominent figure in Mofeng City. However, he was now being treated so rudely by Xu Yun, which was an insult to his status.

However, for the sake of his and his wife's future, Shi Han could only curse silently in his heart. At the same time, he suppressed the anger in his throat and forced a smile, "Brother Xu, I have already said that everything in the past was just a misunderstanding. There is actually no conflict between me and you sworn brothers."

"Hmph, all those things from the past..."

Xu Yun sneered, staring directly at the other party without flinching, and said in a cold voice, "What a misunderstanding! Just the other day at the auction in Mofeng City, didn't you maliciously drive up the price, causing me to lose a large sum of spirit stones by bidding higher?"

Although Xu Yun didn't actually lose anything, it didn't stop him from keeping this debt in mind.

Upon hearing this, Shi Han seemed to have been prepared. He showed an apologetic expression and lowered his head slightly. "That time was not my intention. However, I know that I have caused Brother Xu a lot of trouble. Therefore, I have prepared some gifts. Please accept them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Han handed over a storage bag and slowly opened it. Instantly, the precious light inside shone out, making Xu Yun feel a little dazzled.

He frowned slightly, and at the same time, his divine sense quietly spread out, and then a look of amazement appeared in his eyes.

This storage bag not only contained thousands of spirit stones, but also many precious items, such as various rare and precious herbs and elixirs.

Among them were even a few rare and precious herbs suitable for his cultivation of the Blood Sacrifice Body Refining Technique, which were of great use to him.

"This is my sincerity."

Taking in Xu Yun's expression and emotions, Shi Han smiled and said earnestly, "Brother Xu, you should know that we don't actually have much conflict, much less harbor any resentment, right?"

Xu Yun remained expressionless upon hearing this, but his heart stirred slightly. He knew what would happen if he accepted this apology.

That is, from the outside perspective, the conflict between them and Shi Han was treated as nothing had happened, and they had reconciled.

After all, he had already accepted Shi Han's apology. With the Ziyu Zhao family stirring things up, such a thing was entirely possible. As for the cause and effect, it didn't matter at all.

Although Xu Yun believed that even if he accepted the apology gift, his sworn brothers Lin Zuibai and Wen Lingyu would not say anything, and might even persuade him to accept it.

But all of this is based on the fact that Xu Yun and Wen Siyue have a close relationship, or at least are good friends.

Otherwise, this apology might become another weapon used against Xu Yun and his group.

He was well aware of his own limitations and was unwilling to have a deep relationship with Wen Siyue, so he was caught in a dilemma.

"Oh, Young Master Xu, who is this...?"

Just then, a crisp and pleasant noise drifted over from not far away, making Xu Yun, who was about to refuse, realize what was happening and feel surprised.

He looked up in response and saw a stunningly beautiful woman, her beauty surpassing even the most beautiful women, walking towards him with light steps. Her bright and charming face held a hint of doubt as she looked at Shi Han.

It was none other than Wen Siyue, the eldest daughter of the Wen family.

"Greetings, Miss Wen."

Upon seeing this young lady, Shi Han's eyes lit up; she was truly a beauty of unparalleled grace and elegance.

Although he had heard of her beauty before, he was still amazed when he saw her in person. He even said something a bit offensive: she was superior to his wife in both temperament and appearance.

Such a stunningly beautiful and graceful woman actually fell for Xu Yun...

Shi Han quickly concealed his inner turmoil and bowed respectfully to him, saying, "My name is Shi Han, and I have come here to give Brother Xu some gifts."

"You're Shi Han?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Siyue's beautiful eyes, which had been somewhat puzzled, narrowed immediately as she looked the other person up and down.

While she was in Mofeng City, in addition to frequently contacting Xu Yun, she also collected a lot of information about him.

One of these incidents involved Xu Yun severing ties with his sworn friend, Shi Han. Based on the information available, it was clear that Xu Yun was in the wrong, and he suffered a lot of criticism for it.

However, Wen Siyue is the eldest daughter of the Ruohe Wen family, holding a high position and great power. Moreover, under the influence of her elders, she has a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Putting aside the fact that Xu Yun had saved her life and was not as bad as the rumors in Mofeng City suggested, Wen Siyue, with her own insight, immediately judged that the Ziyu Zhao family was behind this and had instigated it.

Thinking of this, Wen Siyue's eyes darted around, and she stretched out her jade finger to look at the storage bag in Shi Han's hand, ordering, "Give me that storage bag."

"This is....."

Although he had some doubts, Shi Han dared not disobey and quickly handed over the storage bag in his hand respectfully.

Wen Siyue took it without any hesitation, and then, under Xu Yun's questioning gaze, she handed over the storage bag with a charming smile.

"Young Master Xu, this is a storage bag I just found. Please accept it."
