Witch, please have some self-respect!

Huang Changxing left after delivering the Void Bag. He'll be heading to the Great Wilderness in the next couple of days, so he needs to be prepared.

"What a good person! Worthy of being friends!"

Watching his departing figure in a hurry, Shen Yun accepted this junior brother.

Void bags are not cheap; they start at 100 Origin Stones when purchased with Origin Stones, which is no small sum for someone in the Body Nourishing Realm.

A group of thieves who dare not commit major crimes probably have the Void Bag as their most valuable possession.

Regardless of his purpose, Huang Changxing presented Shen Yun with a generous gift.

In the future, I can occasionally ask this junior brother for some high-quality rune stones, repaying him in kind.

Shen Yun plans to focus on high-quality products for his future rune stones, as selling them through the same channel would be too conspicuous.

If sold to different people, in different places.

It's not time to stand out too much.

It's better if people gradually notice how high his talisman-making quality is.

Shen Yun cultivated the persona of a talisman-making genius.

A talisman-making genius buried in a small town will consume a lot of resources to reach the peak of the Body Nourishing stage in the future.

Given Shen Yun's talisman-making skills, it's clear he has some talent; otherwise, no one would believe it.

That might arouse suspicion that there are bigger secrets, so it's better to highlight the persona of a talisman-making genius.

There are geniuses who can elevate their cultivation level through supplementary cultivation; in fact, there are many.

Such stories are common among the second-tier talisman masters of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Palace.

In the courtyard, Shen Yun examined the Void Bag in his hand; the dusty bag was quite inconspicuous.

It's only about the size of two palms, and it looks flat and shrunken.

When qi and blood are infused into it, one can feel a two-cubic-meter space in the void, and with a thought, one can store things inside.

Shen Yun stored his cane inside and then took it out.

I really wanted to shout, "Sword, come!"

They can even fit a deck chair in there and have a blast.

He finally got the Void Bag he had been longing for. He had originally planned to save up his savings for a while longer before buying one.

I never expected that reporting the unauthorized repairs would bring such a pleasant surprise.

Having this makes traveling so much more convenient.

That person who advised against theft and repair was a good man!

After thinking for a long time, Shen Yun hid the Void Bag inside the sleeve of his left robe.

This makes it convenient to take things; they can appear in your hand with just a thought.

After taking stock of his assets, he put all eighty-eight Origin Stones into his Void Bag.

There are also inkstones and rune-inscribed jade crystals. These precious items are kept at home without any protective formations, and I'm always worried about losing them.

The cane was still more comfortable to hold, and inside it were stored more than a dozen exquisite runes.

It could erupt at any time.

The four pieces of blood food were also placed properly, along with a dozen or so Blood Essence Pills and Abstinence Pills, all of which were resources for cultivation.

That evening, Shen Yun used the Void Bag to demonstrate the Clothes Disappearance Technique to Su Wan'er.

This caused Lianlian to scream in surprise.

......

the next day.

Unsurprisingly, news of the city's fall, as described by Jin Guang, filled the Holy City.

More importantly, the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Temple of the Demon Race personally arrived and stockpiled a large number of demon soldiers at the front line, showing an attitude of wanting to completely occupy the area.

The Holy Emperor, of course, could not tolerate this and issued an order for a full-scale war.

That day, streaks of rainbow light continuously rushed to the front lines.

For some reason, the sect leader and the true disciples were quite restrained and did not engage in a major battle.

The fall of Golden Light City was not caused by the high-ranking members of the Heavenly Demon Holy Temple of the Demon Clan, but by an invincible Heavenly Demon Holy Son.

As fellow human beings, the Zixiao Sect originally wanted to provide support, but the Heavenly Demon Holy Temple was arrogant and even launched an invasion against the Zixiao Sect at the same time.

Fighting on two fronts.

The sect leader of Zixiao Sect urgently returned to provide assistance.

The holy city was in an uproar, with all sorts of rumors circulating.

The mix of truth and falsehood left Shen Yun completely bewildered.

"Are the demon race so powerful that they can fight against both the Holy Sect and the Purple Cloud Sect simultaneously?"

Shen Yun then came to the spirit field and asked Steward Bao about it.

Today is the day Bao Yifeng takes care of the Golden Jade Pearl Vine, which is a good time to gather information.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect you, Old Shen, to become a first-tier talisman master so quietly. You can't judge a book by its cover!"

Bao Yifeng didn't answer, but instead looked at Shen Yun with a curious expression.

Spiritual plants are not as good as talisman masters, whether in terms of earning potential or prestige.

Even though he was a level below the talisman master, he felt a little envious.

He originally wanted to learn how to be a talisman master, but after studying for several years without success, he switched to cultivating spiritual plants.

In the hierarchy of minor arts, alchemists and talisman masters undoubtedly stand at the very top.

The talisman master was his childhood ideal, while the spiritual plant was a compromise.

"Unlike Steward Bao, my achievements in this life have come to an end, while you, thanks to Master Xie's favor, are destined to become a third-tier master..."

Having interacted with Bao Yifeng quite a bit these past few days, Shen Yun had roughly figured out his temperament and offered a small but appropriate compliment.

In the past, Bao Yifeng wouldn't have cared if Shen Yun flattered him.

But now it's a first-tier talisman master flattering him, and Bao Yifeng is quite pleased with it.

"You can't just say things like that," he said, rubbing his plump belly and grinning.

"As for the demon race, what they have no shortage of are demon soldiers who are willing to die. A thousand years ago, the three major forces came to open up the Qing Sha Secret Realm, and this place is full of savage beasts."

Most of the savage beasts were fed Spirit Awakening Pills by the Heavenly Demon Temple, which awakened their intelligence and turned them into demons.

If it weren't for the suppression by the Celestial Clan, the Azure Fiend Secret Realm might not be in its current state.

Now, after thousands of years, our human race has gradually developed, but compared to the savage beasts and demons that are everywhere, we are still far behind. Therefore, the demon race can fight on two fronts.

The Celestials prefer to be high above, overlooking the battle between the Humans and Demons, thus weakening both sides.

Bao Yifeng slowly revealed a secret.

"The Celestial Race!?"

One of the main characters in the story startled Shen Yun. He had read some ancient books, but they contained very little description of the Celestial Race.

He would only mention it occasionally, but he always believed that in the Azure Fiend Secret Realm, humans, demons, and gods were three races with equal relations.

Bao Yifeng sneered: "That's right. In the Azure Fiend Secret Realm, the Celestial God Clan is the most revered, occupying the only ninth-order ancestral vein."

"The remaining three eighth-tier branches were divided between our human and demon races. The fact that the human race, initially weaker, was able to occupy two of them was largely due to the Celestial Race, a measure intended to maintain balance."

Shen Yun frowned as he digested the overall layout of the Azure Fiend Secret Realm for the first time.

The Celestial Race, able to occupy the ancestral vein and sit back and watch the tigers fight, must be the strongest.

The hatred between humans and demons stems from their mutual exploitation for alchemy; they are sworn enemies.

Shen Yun looked at Bao Yifeng curiously: "What exactly is the Sacred Evolution Great World outside the secret realm like? Are the Celestial Gods stronger than our human race?"

"In the Sacred World, all races vie for supremacy, and our human race is also one of the most elite races. It's not a matter of which race is stronger or weaker."

It is said that this secret world was discovered jointly by the three races. The Celestial Race, due to its contribution, gained dominance, the Human Race occupied two major branches, and the Demon Race occupied only one branch.

Bao Yifeng wasn't quite sure either; he had only heard some rumors from his master.

He patted Shen Yun on the shoulder: "Don't even mention you, I can't help with this kind of thing either. Just stay back and contribute to the Holy Sect."

After saying that, Bao Yifeng began pruning the Golden Jade Pearl Vine and said no more.

The main problem is that he doesn't know anything more.

Actually, Bao Yifeng was also quite flustered when the fight suddenly broke out.

Currently, the battles surrounding Golden Light City and Golden Rock Mountain Range are mostly between those at the peak of the Body Nourishing Realm and those at the Blood Sea Realm.

The sect has opened its treasure vault, which presents both an opportunity and a risk.

However, he didn't want to take any risks and just hoped that he, as a minor, wouldn't be conscripted to the battlefield.

"The situation involving the Celestial Race, the Human Race, and the Demon Race is indeed not something I, at the third level of Body Nourishing, can concern myself with."

Shen Yun sighed.

With a third-party force watching from the sidelines, he estimated that it would be difficult for the high-level members of the human and demon races to engage in a life-or-death struggle; it would likely just be a low-level battle.

Otherwise, the Holy City would not just be a matter of discussion, but would be a place where everyone is mobilized for war.
