Witch, please have some self-respect!

With the help of the third-tier Inkstone, Shen Yun only needed to consume eighty or ninety Blessings for each Rune Crystal.

Shen Yun makes one a day, and there are still a lot left over.

He calculated that, if he could make eight talismans a day by carving them with the power of good fortune and producing only the finest pieces, he could do so.

A single high-quality item is highly sought after, costing between twenty and twenty-five Originium.

Theoretically, you can earn 200 Origin Stones a day.

In fact, Shen Yun also produced rune crystals and exploding rune stones, which were even more profitable, earning 300 source stones a day was not a problem.

With the cover of Wangyuezhai, the acquisition by Qingzhi Fairy, and Wu Rou's channels.

They've already been able to ship products steadily without attracting any attention.

Recalling when Shen Yun first came to the Holy City, he guarded the spirit fields for fifteen gold coins a month, which is equivalent to half a source stone.

It would take more than ten years to catch up with the amount you earn in a single day now.

"However, I'm still very interested in Originium... the more the better!"

Originium is in my pocket, it's just Originium.

We still need to turn Originium into power!

Shen Yun pondered, "The Dragon Elephant Muscle-Melting Ointment for cultivating the 'Flesh Heaven Technique' cannot all be provided by Fairy Qingzhi."

Thirty boxes are enough for an average person to cultivate for a long time. If I want them quickly, my cultivation speed will be exposed, which would be a loss.

He revealed to the public that he had achieved minor success in cultivating the "Blood Heaven Technique," which had already impressed Fairy Qingzhi.

To put it bluntly, if Shen Yun had arrived in the Holy City a few decades earlier, his comprehension would likely have been a true successor.

If it were to reveal a level of mastery, or even perfection, then...

That's far too shocking.

Another aspect of Shen Yun's cultivation of the "Flesh Heaven Technique" is that the origin of his cultivation method is unofficial; it was not obtained through legitimate channels.

This is not a big problem, because what the Holy Sect prohibits is the spread of the virus.

It cannot be transmitted.

It is strictly forbidden to spread, especially among the large ordinary population within the holy city.

Therefore, what the Holy Ancestor mainly guarded against was this group of people.

To prevent outsiders from competing with the disciples of the Holy Sect for resources.

Moreover, the "Flesh Heaven Technique," which belongs to the Five Great Heavenly Techniques of the Physical Body, is not unique to the Holy Sect.

Both the Cangming Immortal Treasure Palace and the Zixiao Sect sell them.

It belongs to the basic techniques.

Shen Yun said that what he obtained by chance was nothing special.

The worst possible outcome is simply paying money to fix it.

Wealth can solve all troubles.

The most important thing is the "Swallowing Heaven Scripture," which cannot be revealed and is a unique inheritance of the Holy Sect.

Fundamental inheritance.

Shen Yun can cultivate, but he cannot show it.

Unless there is a legitimate source.

This didn't affect Shen Yun much, because his fundamental technique was the "Jianchun Breathing Method".

His practice of other methods was merely to provide nourishment for the "Jianchun Breathing Method".

[The Devouring Heaven Scripture (Mastery 1/500)]

Moreover, the Devouring Heaven Scripture requires too much progress, and Shen Yun won't need it in the short term.

Its greatest function is to help the "Jianchun Breathing Method" evolve.

"The source stones that Wu Rou and Qing Zhi have settled for me these past few days, plus the source stones sold by Wangyuezhai, add up to 15,000. I can do some more profitable business now."

Shen Yun is no longer the novice he once was; he has now figured out how to make money within the Holy City.

The most basic necessities are those that can enhance one's strength: blood food, elixirs, and cultivation techniques.

These are basically monopolized by major powers.

Although Shen Yunwangyuezhai also sells, it is a middleman and doesn't make much profit.

The target audience for higher-end products is much narrower, and the demand is not as high.

These are the things needed to cultivate the Heavenly Arts. Among them, the things needed for the Five Great Heavenly Arts of the Physical Body are the most widely available and have good circulation.

The important thing is that it is not monopolized.

Blood altars are mainly collected by hunting teams, but with the ongoing war with the demon race, they are not lacking in resources.

Easy to collect.

Secondly, there are the Dragon Elephant Muscle-Melting Ointment for cultivating the "Flesh Heaven Technique," the Jade Dragon Bone-Strengthening Pill for cultivating the "Bone Heaven Technique," and the Red Copper Warm Jade Sand for cultivating the "Skin Heaven Technique."

There are also the most difficult techniques, "Tendon Heaven Skill," which require the Dragon-Entangling Tendon Rope and the Meridian-Clearing and Tendon-Strengthening Wine.

Materials for cultivating the Five Great Heavenly Techniques of the Physical Body.

It's not just those in the Body Nourishing Realm who need it; many inner disciples in the Blood Sea Realm also have a need for it.

Most disciples, not geniuses like Wu Rou, had already completed their Dao foundation before breaking through to the Blood Sea.

Even after breaking through the Blood Sea, he continued to cultivate the Five Great Heavenly Techniques.

Even if the Dao Foundation is not fully completed to the Nine-Nine Technique, the Heavenly Skill will never be outdated.

No one needs these things all the time, but there are always disciples in the Holy Sect who need these auxiliary items.

Therefore, there is a large market for selling the five major auxiliary materials for traditional Chinese medicine.

Moreover, he could use the Wangyuezhai store to purchase goods, thus concealing Shen Yun's own cultivation needs.

Kill two birds with one stone.

These auxiliary materials for cultivating skills are basically products that require the participation of auxiliary practitioners to create.

The inclusion of minor courses makes these things very expensive.

Each item costs several hundred Origin Stones and requires a large amount of capital to stockpile.

Fortunately, after this period of accumulation, Shen Yun has saved up quite a bit.

We can get some from Duan Peng, and we can also collect some from within the Holy Sect's auxiliary cultivation system.

The important thing is that in the past few days, some people have taken the initiative to come to our door and offer to supply goods.

Auxiliary materials for the Five Great Heavenly Skills.

After having an idea, Shen Yun took out a communication stone and made contact.

"Miss Bai Yan'er, are you truly able to provide access to the auxiliary materials for Heavenly Skill?"

Half a day later, in the courtyard, Shen Yun served Bai Yan'er fine tea and water.

Bai Yan'er is a seemingly lazy and easygoing girl with two buns in her hair, making her look very cute.

What sets her apart from her cute appearance is her tall and imposing figure.

two days ago.

This alchemist from the Heavenly Craftsmanship Palace, who called herself Bai Yan'er, came to our door through Duan Peng's introduction.

He expressed his desire to be friends with Shen Yun.

We hope to sell some items through the channels of Wangyuezhai.

Through Duan Peng, Shen Yun learned that Bai Yan'er was a first-level senior alchemist.

Moreover, he's someone with quite a background.

He has a large following within the Heavenly Craftsmanship Bureau and is very well-connected.

They also maintained contact with the elders above.

He seems to be similar to Duan Peng, often acting as an assistant to the Heavenly Craftsmanship Bureau, helping out with various tasks.

"Brother Shen, these are the Five Great Heavenly Techniques of Physical Body, not the auxiliary materials for the Five Elements Heavenly Technique!"

Bai Yan'er pressed her index finger to her lips, her eyes sparkling, and spoke softly and weakly.

Compared to the Five Great Heavenly Techniques of the Physical Body, the Five Elements Heavenly Techniques require the assistance of spiritual objects for cultivation.

Shen Yun frowned slightly.

To be honest, Bai Yan'er's words and actions seem very affected.

However, she patiently replied, "I understand that, but I'm just curious why you chose me to cooperate with?"

"Of course I think Brother Shen is reliable."

Bai Yan'er leaned forward on the stone table, her hands supporting her chin, her magnificent upper body swaying slightly.

Shen Yun's brow twitched, and he said helplessly, "Bai Yan'er, are we talking about serious matters?"

When I first met her, I didn't think Bai Yan'er was being pretentious.

"What Yan'er said is true!"

Bai Yan'er pretended to be aggrieved and pouted.

In truth, she was thinking to herself, "Didn't that woman say that human men all like this kind of personality?"

It just won't work!

Thinking of this, she looked down at her bulging chest, wondering if it was because of this cumbersome thing.

Is it because I'm too fat?

The Transformation Pill manifested a future human form, which means that's how she is, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

I really want to cut this annoying thing in half.

Seeing Shen Yun's brows furrowing deeper and deeper, Bai Yan'er had no choice but to tone it down and say the reason she had prepared beforehand:

"A shop I previously supported was shut down by the Heavenly Crafts Bureau. I heard that a Holy Sect Assistant Cultivator with considerable connections has opened a new shop in Qianlongfang."

The shops here are very safe for us auxiliary cultivators of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Bureau.

Because this place only houses disciples of the Holy Sect, all of whom are high-quality clients, the Heavenly Crafts Bureau's surveillance team can't possibly reach everyone.

Shen Yun nodded, as this was similar to what Duan Peng had investigated before.

The Heavenly Crafts Bureau has indeed recently shut down a number of shops that were privately selling items belonging to its disciples.

However, Bai Yan'er was the first to approach Shen Yun.

Shen Yun remained somewhat wary, fearing that this was a trap set by the Heavenly Craftsmanship Bureau.

Don't shut down his shop.

"If we're going to cooperate, I want 20%," Shen Yun asked tentatively.

"That's way too high. Heavenly crafting materials aren't like talismans; not only are the materials expensive, but they also take much longer to make..."

Upon hearing Shen Yun mention 20%, Bai Yan'er immediately lost her previous delicate demeanor and regained her rationality as a secondary cultivator.

That's outrageous!

The two argued their case, and finally settled on a 10% split.

"For the first batch, I hope it will be the auxiliary material for the Flesh Heaven Technique, Dragon Elephant Muscle Melting Paste. This can be paired with my Holy Sect's blood food and is the easiest to sell."

Shen Yun observed Bai Yan'er's reaction and knew that when it came to purchasing goods, he should first focus on what he needed himself.

Regardless of whether it's a scam or not, let's stock up first; the goods can't be faked.

For some reason, Bai Yan'er looked somewhat unnatural when Shen Yun mentioned blood food.

Shen Yun requested fifty copies in the first batch.

Bai Yan'er was shocked. "Brother Shen, you're not doing business with the Heavenly Crafts Mansion. I have my own channels, so where would I get so many spare auxiliary materials?"

"Including what we've accumulated over this period, there are at most twenty-odd portions of Dragon Elephant Skin Melting Cream alone," she calculated.

"All right."

Shen Yun nodded with some regret.

After reaching an agreement and seeing Bai Yan'er off, Shen Yun frowned in thought.

He always felt that Bai Yan'er's intentions were not simply to sell things, but rather that she wanted to befriend him.

There was also a subtle malice, but it was well concealed.

This conjecture is not without foundation; he has opened his ancestral aperture and possesses the true meaning of Jianchun.

Through contact, one can vaguely perceive whether others are kind or dislike him.

However, it was even harder to detect in Bai Yan'er, as if she had something obscured her true perception.

This gave Shen Yun the same feeling he had when he used his true intent to probe the suspected demon 'Xiong Gang' before, but he couldn't see it clearly.

"It's a pity they're already in a relationship, otherwise we could have known by scanning the ancient scroll."

Shen Yun sighed.

However, this is inevitable. Finding a partner is the key to the ancient scroll. Without finding a partner, the maximum number of blessings points per day is ninety.

After that, it went straight to 138.

The difference is significant; it affects the progress of the ancient scroll's upgrade.

A delay of one or two days is fine, but a longer delay will result in greater losses.

Each partner spot is currently very precious.

Once the number of connections increases, we can free up a spot.

Huang Changxing came over in the afternoon.

Shen Yun asked him to investigate who had been searching for him in Lingnongfang during this period.

Because these days, he has a feeling that he is being watched.

"During this time, I've found out who asked me to investigate and gather information about you; there are probably three groups of people."

Huang Changxing took a sip of tea and began to tell Shen Yun his story.

There are quite a few people investigating Shen Yun's background these days.

"It's a good thing you moved early, otherwise there might have been real danger."

"The first person to be investigated was actually a few days before the Limit Break Martial Arts Competition, shortly after you moved."

Huang Changxing took out a booklet.

The identities of those who secretly gathered information about Shen Yun were drawn based on their memories.

This was not the result of Huang Changxing's efforts alone; it was also the result of the cooperation of many law enforcement disciples and several disciples from Lingnongfang.

"These people are the ones we should pay the most attention to. Quite a few of them have been contacting several hunting teams we've worked with from the sidelines, and their goal seems to be the Exploding Runestone."

Shen Yun was flipping through the booklet, while Huang Changxing frowned as he spoke about the findings of his investigation.

As one of the first people to use the Exploding Runestone, Shen Yun initially didn't intend to hide it, as other hunting teams had seen them use it.

Fortunately, during this time, Shen Yun sold a lot of Exploding Runestones through Wu Rou.

Otherwise, if only Huang Changxing's team had used it, it would have been even more conspicuous.

At first, Shen Yun did not expect that the power of the Exploding Crystal would be so strong, enough to change the battlefield of the Body Nourishing Realm.

Otherwise, he would have kept it hidden long ago.

To be honest, Shen Yun was even considering handing it over to the authorities.

"Huh!"

As Shen Yun flipped through the booklet, he saw a drawing of a burly man as strong as a bear, who bore a striking resemblance to Xiong Gang, whom he had seen before.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing something amiss in Shen Yun's expression, Huang Changxing asked.

"It's nothing, it just feels a bit crowded."

Shen Yun turned the page again, silently memorizing it, without revealing too much: "This is the first wave. Who are the second wave?"

Could it be that these people who are trying to find out about him are colluding with the demon race?

Shen Yun had already informed Fairy Qingzhi about Xiong Gang, who was suspected to be a spy from the demon race and was being secretly monitored.

Fairy Qingzhi is also a member of the Law Enforcement Hall, and even a steward of the main hall.

Its energy is much greater than that of Huang Changxing.

"The second wave was probably during the period of breaking through the limits of cultivation. Most of them were related to the auxiliary cultivation of the Holy Sect, and they were also trying to find out about the relationship between Wu Rou and you," Huang Changxing said.

Shen Yun nodded, it was probably Ren Xiujie and his group of auxiliary students.

This was expected.

"The third wave is the people from the Heavenly Crafts Bureau who are investigating and asking the most questions. They are basically trying to find out everything about you. This started before the True Inheritance Banquet."

"The Heavenly Craftsmanship Bureau..."

Shen Yun was puzzled. Why were the people from the Heavenly Crafts Bureau asking him about him?

If it's Bai Yan'er's person, the timing doesn't match up.

"Thank you so much this time. It seems I'm still quite remembered."

Shen Yun shook his head and smiled.

However, there was no pressure. As long as he was in Qianlongfang and in the Holy City, no one could do anything to Shen Yun.

"Why bother with these things? Without the runes my senior brother had before, I might not be able to gather enough resources to break through the Blood Sea now."

Huang Changxing waved his hands repeatedly.

"So, when are you planning to go into seclusion and break through to the next level? How confident are you?"

Shen Yun looked at Huang Changxing. Originally, he didn't want to bother Huang Changxing, but he had just asked Chen Ming.

"How can I be absolutely certain!"

Huang Changxing's expression was complicated: "The latest batch of Spirit Marrow Protecting Pills will be ready soon. Once I get the pills, I'll immediately go into seclusion."

After decades of arduous cultivation, wasn't it all for this day—to break through the Blood Sea?

His two friends, Luo Yi and Jiang Cheng, who have also achieved perfect health, went into seclusion yesterday.

These two didn't have the Spirit Marrow Protecting Pill to help them, only he got to join the queue.

In fact, we have to thank Fairy Qingzhi and Shen Yun.

"Let's toast with tea instead of wine, wishing Brother Huang a resounding success and a bloody end!"

Shen Yun cupped his hands in greeting, raised his teacup, and said with a smile.

Blood Sea and Nourishing Body are two completely different realms.

Only those who enter the Blood Sea can be considered true disciples of the Holy Sect.

Outer disciples, for example, have never even been to the true blessed lands of the Holy Sect; they are merely allowed to roam freely within the Holy City.

This is generally true.

"The Blood Sea bottleneck is difficult to break through; I hope I can succeed!"

If we fail, I hope Brother Shen will consider our past friendship and look after my son.

Huang Changxing was not 100% confident about this breakthrough.

But we can't let it linger any longer.

He's not young anymore, nearing the age of sixty; any further delay could easily lead to unforeseen changes.

"With Brother Huang's thorough preparations, how could he possibly fail? Don't say anything discouraging; maintaining an unwavering belief will increase your chances of success!"

Shen Yun waved his hand.

It's not a rejection, but rather that no further explanation is needed.
