Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

Chapter 167 Turbulent Emotions

Xu Yun had been eyeing this second-tier Xuanling Pill for a long time. Besides its ability to enhance magical power, what he valued most was its potential to transform his body and change his constitution.

It should be noted that since breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, Xu Yun has increasingly felt the constraints of his own aptitude, making his cultivation extremely difficult.

To improve this, Xu Yun has been collecting rare and precious materials that can transform his physique and aptitude, but unfortunately, he hasn't made much progress.

This second-tier Xuanling Pill was the best natural treasure he could find at the moment. Although it could only improve the situation slightly, it was better than nothing.

Moreover, if I exchange this second-tier Profound Spirit Pill for it, I'll have a good excuse if my talent and aptitude change in the future.

Xu Yun stared at the light screen on the token, his eyes thoughtful. Life is unpredictable, and although the effect of this second-tier Xuanling Fruit on improving aptitude was only slight.

However, Xu Yun may obtain even better natural treasures from other channels in the future. For example, it is not impossible for him to obtain a rare item from the Initial Saint System that can completely change his aptitude.

Therefore, he was determined to obtain this second-tier Xuanling Pill.

"25,000 contribution points, it's worth the price."

Xu Yun murmured to himself, after all, there were very few rare and precious natural treasures in the Yuan Kingdom's cultivation world that could improve one's own aptitude and talent, so even if the effect of the second-tier Xuanling Pill was only slight.

However, even within the Muyun Chamber of Commerce, it is an extremely rare resource.

Thinking of this, he immediately exchanged for the second-tier Xuanling Pill.

I earned 10,000 contribution points from completing the Tianyuan Mine mission, and with the contribution points I had accumulated in Mofeng City, I was able to redeem them, and even have some left over.

Soon, after Xu Yun finished operating the token, a middle-aged man appeared in front of him.

The newcomer was dressed in a magnificent robe, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and regular features. He exuded a sharp aura and held a jade bottle in his hands, appearing very serious and solemn.

Upon seeing Xu Yun, he immediately bowed respectfully and said, "I am Wen Changkong, one of the elders of the Ruohe Wen family. I have come to deliver a second-tier Xuanling Pill to Fellow Daoist Xu. Please accept it."

Xu Yun exchanged for the second-tier Xuanling Pill not only because of its effects, but also because the Ruohe Wen family had stock in stock, allowing him to obtain it quickly.

If this were elsewhere, Xu Yun would have to wait a while longer, and might even have encountered an attack by bandits, resulting in the goods being stolen.

Although this situation is very rare, Xu Yun still has to be on guard, since the Zhao family of Ziyu is now in dire straits due to the defeat of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce.

Furthermore, the suspected involvement of the Tianming Palace in the Tianyuan Mine made Xu Yun even more wary, and he didn't want to take too many risks.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Changkong. I've heard so much about you. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Upon seeing this, Xu Yun immediately returned the greeting. What he said was true; Wen Changkong's name was also very famous in the Muyun Chamber of Commerce.

This is because the opponent is not only a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, but also a sword cultivator whose killing techniques are incredibly powerful and terrifying. He could even fight against a late-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, he was a melancholy person who did not care about worldly affairs, so he gave up the position of clan leader to Wen Hankong. Even so, he was the strongest person in terms of combat power besides the patriarch of the Ruohe Wen family.

Xu Yun was truly surprised that it would be Wen Changkong who delivered the second-tier Xuanling Pill to him.

"It's just a little bit of empty fame, no need to care about it."

After speaking, seeing that Xu Yun had accepted the second-tier Xuanling Pill, Wen Changkong turned and left without hesitation, without saying another word.

Seeing this, Xu Yun couldn't help but feel a little emotional. As expected of a sword cultivator, he was straightforward and unconventional.

However, given my current resources, I should be able to kill him if I have to pay a price.

Although sword cultivators are known for their exceptional killing power, it depends on the individual. Given Xu Yun's current resources, he should be able to kill him if he disregards everything else.

As Xu Yun pondered and deduced his chances of defeating Wen Changkong, he returned to Yunlian Residence.

Buzz!

As Xu Yun took out the token to control the array and injected magic power into it, the surrounding light screen suddenly opened up to both sides, and a passage appeared amidst the surging water mist.

At the same time, seemingly sensing the movement of the formation, a figure practically flew out of the cave and quickly arrived in front of Xu Yun.

Upon closer inspection, she was a gentle and graceful woman with a beautiful face full of joy and excitement. She looked Xu Yun up and down and, finding that he was unharmed, breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's wonderful! It's so good that you're back safe and sound, Brother Xu."

Wen Lingyu held the cup to her chest, her eyes slightly reddening, and she couldn't help but cry tears of joy.

She had previously learned through Ruohe Wenjia's channels that something seemed to have happened at Tianyuan Mine, and the fact that Xu Yun had not returned for a long time made Wen Lingyu extremely worried.

She wanted to go and find out for herself several times, but because she was too weak, she was powerless to do anything even if something happened, and could only pray silently in the cave.

Fortunately, Xu Yun's safe return put Wen Lingyu at ease.

"I'm sorry to have worried Sister Wen, but thankfully it went smoothly this time, and I got what I wanted. It's worth celebrating."

Xu Yun smiled slightly, and then stepped into the cave with Wen Lingyu.

The acquisition of the second-tier Profound Spirit Pill, coupled with the substantial gains from the Tianyuan Mine, truly put him in a great mood.

We absolutely have to throw a big banquet to have some fun.

Of course, since it was just him and Wen Lingyu, there was no need to make special arrangements for this.

Meanwhile, deep within the Ruohe Wen family's home.

A quiet room.

Wen Siyue sat upright on the futon, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, her eyes rippling with emotion, revealing a fragile vulnerability that evoked a protective instinct in those who saw her.

She kept meditating, but no matter what she did, she was interrupted. The complexity and depression in her heart became more and more intense, and her past with Xu Yun would appear at all times.

She had clearly realized that the other person was not from the same world as her, but the other person's outstanding performance in the Tianyuan Mine once again shattered her thoughts.

In an instant, memories of the past with the other person flooded her mind, creating a great conflict with Wen Siyue's current experience and knowledge, causing ripples in her heart.

"Siyue, your heart is in turmoil."

After an unknown amount of time, the door to the quiet room was suddenly opened, and a tall figure walked in—it was Wen Hankong.

He gazed at Wen Siyue, whose face was filled with complex emotions, and couldn't help but sigh.

Ultimately, it was because of some inappropriate behavior back then that Wen Siyue was confined to her home, preventing her from contacting the outside world.

He also learned about the Tianyuan Mine incident, and it was because of this that Wen Hankong realized how complicated his daughter's heart was.

I should have assumed that the person I was infatuated with back then was a complete stranger, but unexpectedly, the other person repeatedly shattered my perception, making me feel like a clown jumping around.

Her innate pride, past entanglements, and fluctuating inner turmoil—these three conflicted with each other, causing Wen Siyue's emotions to surge in waves.

This would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
