Witch, please have some self-respect!

Shen Yun learned from Bai Yan'er that this time, during the treasure hunt, she successfully broke through the restriction and actually found a fifth-level forged weapon inside.

However, since the fifth-forged battle weapon has not been nourished by blood and qi for more than a hundred years, its power has decreased considerably, and it can only exert the power of a fourth-forged battle weapon.

There are also quite a few refining materials, source stones, inheritances, and other miscellaneous items.

However, the core spiritual land seems to have begun to decline long ago, and has not nurtured any treasures.

However, even with just a single fourth-level forged warrior, everyone who went on this trip gained quite a lot.

"If it were just the two of us, Brother Shen, I wouldn't have to give up so many source stones, and I could gain more."

In the end, Bai Yan'er regretted that Shen Yun hadn't gone along, otherwise he would definitely have gained something as well.

You can earn at least 50,000 Origin Stones.

Shen Yun listened quietly as Bai Yan'er spoke softly, her words filled with regret.

He wasn't envious.

After all, nothing is more important than being alive.

A smile played on his lips, but he remained constantly on guard against the other party.

"Actually, the two of us might not be able to break through the cave."

Shen Yun calmly sipped his tea and listened quietly, occasionally adding a few words of agreement.

"I heard there's an auction at the black market outside the city in a few days. I'm thinking of going to buy some things. Would you like to come along, Brother Shen?"

As they chatted, Bai Yan'er casually asked a question.

"What a coincidence! I'd also like to see it. If you have time, that would be great."

Shen Yun seemed unsuspecting and readily agreed.

"Okay, Brother Shen, you can't go back on your word!" Bai Yan'er said with a hint of surprise.

"Who knows? Fairy Qingzhi assigned me a very demanding talisman-making task, unlike Miss Bai who has a free time!"

Shen Yun sighed, but did not give a definite answer.

This still means they want him to leave the Holy City.

Shen Yun had a vague idea in his mind: to swindle Bai Yan'er out of money.

More than half an hour later.

Shen Yun watched Bai Yan'er's figure disappear into the depths of the alley before turning around and quickly returning to the courtyard.

He took out the demon-detecting disc from under the table, and sure enough, there was no change. However, this was within Shen Yun's expectations.

If the Demon-Detecting Compass could so easily detect Bai Yan'er's demon race identity, then there would be no demon race spies in the Holy City long ago.

This thing only works well when tested in the Great Wilderness; the demon cultivators in the city are all concealing it.

It must be at least a spirit artifact to have any chance of deciphering it.

After returning to the quiet room, Shen Yun sent a message to Fairy Qingzhi without any hesitation.

First, they inquired about Xiong Gang's whereabouts, and then learned from Fairy Qingzhi that the people in the Law Enforcement Hall were still secretly investigating Xiong Gang's interpersonal relationships.

He was prepared to thoroughly investigate all those connected to him, ensuring no one escaped, before finally bringing them all in together.

Shen Yun then began to make some plans in his mind.

His fingertips curled slightly, and after considering his words, he spoke:

Today, I accidentally detected a demonic aura on Bai Yan'er using the Demon Detection Compass. I suspect that she may be related to the demon race.

I suggest we investigate this person.

He then told Fairy Qingzhi that Bai Yan'er had been trying to lure him out of the city recently.

The fairy Qingzhi opposite her looked at the information Shen Yun conveyed and her expression instantly became serious.

The information about Xiong Gang was also provided by Shen Yun. After investigation, it was found that Xiong Gang really had problems.

The elder used a magical artifact to investigate and indeed discovered that he was a spy from the demon race.

Could it be that Bai Yan'er, whom Shen Yun mentioned this time, is also like this?

One could be a coincidence, but two could not.

"Why would the demon race target Shen Yun? Is it simply because he's a promising talisman master?"

Qingzhi Fairy was somewhat puzzled, and then she thought of what Shen Yun had said before about the extraordinary person who forgot life.

Could it be related to this?

Otherwise, Fairy Qingzhi really couldn't understand why the demon race would target Shen Yun.

Even a talisman master with potential wouldn't require the demon race to expend so much effort.

After a brief chat, the transmission was abruptly cut off.

Shen Yun remained calm.

Now that he has figured out Bai Yan'er's identity, he can be somewhat prepared for whatever she wants to do.

Judging from Bai Yan'er's recent interactions with him, it's clear that he only wants to lure her out of the city.

Therefore, he is safe in the city.

At least in Qianlongfang, it is absolutely safe.

"I'm not leaving Qianlongfang!" Shen Yun made up his mind.

......

After learning the news, Fairy Qingzhi personally took action and kept an eye on Bai Yan'er.

The reward for uncovering the demon spy was something even she found tempting.

One person first went to Bai Yan'er's place to secretly investigate.

Surprisingly, she actually managed to find some clues.

Bai Yan'er's courtyard was spotless, without the slightest impropriety.

There wasn't even a trace of life left; the bed wasn't stained with her scent, and there wasn't a single hair.

It went from normal to abnormal.

For this very reason, Fairy Qingzhi believed Shen Yun's report even more.

There's definitely something wrong with Bai Yan'er!

No good family has even the slightest trace of life in their home.

There are only two reasons. One is that no one has ever lived here. On the surface, she lives here, but in reality, she lives in another place.

Secondly, it was done intentionally; everything was deliberately erased.

Whatever the reason, it shows that Bai Yan'er is somewhat extraordinary.

After all, she was ostensibly an alchemist from the Heavenly Crafts Bureau, not a spy.

Qingzhi Fairy then sent people to keep an eye on Bai Yan'er every day, and she seemed to be doing very normally.

Taking advantage of Bai Yan'er being alone

Fairy Qingzhi returned to the Hall of Law Enforcement and reported her discovery to the elders of the Hall of Law Enforcement.

We request the help of the law enforcement elders to bring out the magical treasure, the Illusion-Breaking Mirror, to secretly verify Bai Yan'er's true identity.

The elders who are in charge of the Enforcement Hall are all at least Grand cultivators at the Heavenly Palace Realm.

Since they were in the Holy City, their actions naturally wouldn't be noticed by Bai Yan'er.

He secretly held up a mirror and saw a cat demon, pure white with emerald green vertical pupils, appear within it.

"A white-and-blue-eyed cat!"

A murderous glint flashed in Fairy Qingzhi's eyes.

"Not bad, Qing girl, this is the second demon spies we've discovered these past few days!"

The law enforcement elders were amazed; in the past, it was rare to find demon spies, but in just a few days, they had discovered two.

Moreover, they seem to belong to two different lines, so it's likely that we can follow the clues and uncover quite a bit.

A spy from the demon race, the Holy Sect has a considerable bounty on his head.

"Elder Luo, please have a drink with me after we close the net."

Fairy Qingzhi smiled sweetly; she was about to get busy.

The investigation screened various people connected to Bai Yan'er.

This process is difficult because demon spies are not stupid. They generally have a wide circle of friends and rarely maintain deep connections with other demon spies.

Afterwards, Fairy Qingzhi and the elders investigated You Feng and Chen Xin, and found that neither of them were demons.

It is a pity.

.......

Shen Yun was at the training ground after finishing his breakfast.

He gripped the Overlord Dragon Halberd tightly in both hands, wielding it with powerful, sweeping force.

After practicing the Nine Strikes of Heaven day after day for the past few days, my progress has reached a bottleneck.

Reaching six to seven hits is a threshold, requiring a full 8,000 progress points, which cannot be achieved in a short time.

Just after finishing the third round, I received a message from Fairy Qingzhi.

Shen Yun immediately put away his weapon and strode into the quiet room.

Uncle Shen, I have investigated the information you provided some time ago.

Your suspicions are correct. Bai Yan'er's identity has been confirmed; she is a descendant of the White-Eyed Cat of the demon race.

Upon seeing this message, Shen Yun actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, Shen Yun had only made bold guesses and dared not be 100% certain.

Since Fairy Qingzhi has already discovered that Bai Yan'er is a demon.

That makes sense.

If it's someone from within the organization, it's actually harder to deal with; but if it's a demon, then there's no problem.

They were mortal enemies anyway.

However, I don't know why the demons would target me.

"Could it be that the demon race has found out about the exploding crystal?!"

Then Shen Yun seemed to realize something.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the Bursting Crystal was so useful, so he didn't deliberately hide it or keep a low profile.

When Huang Changxing and his group used it, they used it to bomb the demon race, so it left quite a few traces.

If someone from the demon race were to investigate, it wouldn't be surprising if they traced it back to him.

Soon it was time for Bai Yan'er to deliver the auxiliary materials again.

She always came in person to chat with Shen Yun and deepen their relationship.

Shen Yun was quite composed. Fairy Qingzhi said that Bai Yan'er was indeed at the eighth level of Body Nourishing cultivation, and she could also refine pills. Her combat power was at most beyond the limit.

Although she is a demon, Shen Yun has nothing to fear from her alone.

"The auxiliary materials from a while ago have been sold. Here are the Originium. Please take stock of them."

As always, Shen Yun and Shen Yun first discussed the transaction, and he paid over the source stones.

More than twenty auxiliary materials, and six thousand source stones.

Big business!

"These are the auxiliary materials we need to sell during this period."

Bai Yan'er also took out a void bag containing fifteen sets of supplementary materials for cultivating the Four Great Heavenly Techniques.

"How come there are already fifteen portions?"

Shen Yun took it, frowned slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction.

I used to serve twenty portions each time.

"Do you think the five essential materials for Heavenly Crafting are easy to gather? Even the Heavenly Crafting Palace doesn't have many!"

Bai Yan'er rolled her eyes at Shen Yun; she really wasn't making a single penny.

If it weren't for wanting to befriend Shen Yun, she would never have done this kind of business!

Shen Yun sighed. Bai Yan'er was too stingy; she wanted to fish but couldn't bear to part with the bait.

The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be!

After confirming that the person in front of him was a demon, Shen Yun's eyes lit up, and he prepared to make a big profit.

"Wangyuezhai's business has been very good recently. A major client contacted me privately, wanting to buy a large batch of Tiangong auxiliary materials. Because he needed them urgently, he promised to pay 10% more than the market price."

Bai Yan'er doesn't lack source stones recently, but she can still make a profit by buying Tiangong auxiliary materials at a premium.

Seeing Shen Yun staring intently at him, he put down the wine bowl in his hand, lightly licked his lips with his tongue, and spoke with a smile in his eyes.

How much do you want?

Bai Yan'er didn't think much about Shen Yun's talk of acquiring medicinal herbs. Based on the cooperation over this period of time, Bai Yan'er had only broken even.

I heard that a 10% premium is just enough to recoup some of the losses.

Who wouldn't want to make money!

Shen Yun lowered his voice and said, "At least one hundred and fifty portions. I can get fifty blood altars, but the rest require auxiliary materials for the other four Heavenly Techniques. Can you get them?"

"The other party requires that after all the materials are collected, they will exchange them for Originium in Tongtian Market outside the city."

Tongtian Market is the largest black market outside the Holy City. Although it is called a black market, it is not black at all. On the contrary, it is very reputable.

However, since it is not a property of the Holy Sect, many wanted cultivators seek refuge there, which is why it is designated as a black market.

When Bai Yan'er heard that they were going to Tongtian Market to make a transaction, she wondered if Shen Yun was going to leave the city.

Hearing this, she was overjoyed. She had tried every possible way to lure him out but had failed. Unexpectedly, this was a godsend.

She was still wondering how to explain it to her superiors, but she never expected it to be done so easily.

Although the other party requires a lot of auxiliary materials, and she can't raise that many in a short time, if she can successfully get Shen Yun out of the city, then the people above will definitely be able to help her fill this vacancy.

Bai Yan'er suppressed her unusual excitement and exclaimed in surprise, "So many auxiliary materials? That won't be easy to collect!"

"Brother Shen, it's not that I'm making excuses, but 100 portions of Heavenly Skill supplements are no small number, and I may not be able to collect them all in a short time."

"No rush. The man said he's been buying for the next few months. We can send it over once we've collected enough."

Shen Yun calmly replied, "It will take me some time to gather fifty blood jars."

That big client is him; whenever he says he wants something, it's just a matter of him saying the word.

Before Qingzhi Fairy closed the net, Shen Yun planned to swindle her out of a large sum of money.

In the brief silence, Bai Yan'er deliberately lowered her eyes, pretending to be deep in thought, her tone carrying a hint of difficulty:

"Then I'll try my best to put together the funds."

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up at Shen Yun, her eyes filled with certainty:

"But I have one condition!"

Shen Yun raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are the conditions?"

"My condition is that I have to go with you on the day of the transaction."

"After all, it's such a large shipment; I need to see the delivery in person to be at ease, and to avoid any mishaps along the way."

Shen Yun nodded after listening: "Of course, no problem!"

After agreeing on the terms and chatting for a few more minutes, Bai Yan'er left.

[Senior Sister Qingzhi, when are we about to capture Bai Yan'er? I'm afraid of revealing my hand when dealing with this vixen.]

Shen Yun turned and sent a message to Fairy Qingzhi to see if he had time to extract a hundred portions of auxiliary materials.

[The investigation is still ongoing. We'll close in about ten days. I've assigned several Blood Sea Realm deacons to protect you secretly. Try not to leave Qianlongfang.]

The Fairy Qingzhi sent a message.

Should I avoid her?

Shen Yun felt that ten days would be enough for Bai Yan'er to gather the necessary materials, and hoped to make one last profit before she was arrested.

Since they're all demons, he can swindle them without any qualms.

While Bai Yan'er was preparing the auxiliary materials, Shen Yun was not idle.

He has been working harder than usual these past few days.

In the past two days, apart from going to collect merit points with Su Wan'er and the others, he spent the rest of his time either in the training ground or in the meditation room cultivating and carving talismans.

He needs to carve more seals to accumulate means of survival.

Even with the protection of a Blood Sea Realm cultivator, it's not foolproof. Otherwise, if something unexpected really happens in ten days, we can at least deal with some unforeseen situations.

Bai Yan'er's strength had reached the eighth level of Body Nourishing, which was a whole level higher than his own.

Although his current combat strength is such that even a cultivator at the peak of the Body Nourishing Realm is no match for him, and with his battle armor protecting him, he shouldn't be afraid of Bai Yan'er.

But if a fight really breaks out, who can guarantee that the other side doesn't have a backup plan?

He still needs to focus on his cultivation during this time.

Even Su Wan'er was not idle. After teaching Xiao Ruyan her lessons every day, she would start cultivating whenever she had time.

Seeing how hard Shen Yun had been working these days, she was determined not to fall behind.

Wangyuezhai is usually only busy in the morning. After finishing, he goes straight upstairs to continue practicing the Floating Light and Shadow Escape Technique, and he works very hard.
