Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

Chapter 168 Foundation Building Trade Fair

"Father, I..."

Upon hearing her father's words, Wen Siyue instinctively wanted to refute them, but for a moment she couldn't find the words, and her expression became even more complicated.

Wen Hankong immediately saw through his daughter's thoughts and pondered for a moment before saying, "If you really can't forget Xu Yun and are obsessed with him, I can also act as a matchmaker for you two."

In his view, if his daughter was truly infatuated, even to the point of affecting her cultivation path, then it wouldn't be impossible for her to marry Xu Yun.

After all, Xu Yun was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so he didn't disgrace the reputation of the Ruohe Wen family. Moreover, his daughter was very fond of him.

It even affected his spiritual path, causing unimaginable turmoil in his mind.

If this continues, forget about breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage; there's even a risk of going into qi deviation and endangering his life.

"Father, I don't know what to do either."

Upon hearing this, Wen Siyue's pretty face flushed red, and she pursed her lips, revealing a conflicted and indescribable expression.

On the one hand, she was indeed somewhat tempted by her father's suggestion, but on the other hand, she always felt that something was not quite right.

Wen Siyue did have feelings for Xu Yun, but she also had her own pride and valued her own path even more.

However, the influence of her first encounter with Xu Yun and her admiration for him were too strong, especially after seeing that he was still as charming as ever after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, which made Wen Siyue's mind even more chaotic.

"Siyue, since you are confused, why don't you come to me and let me guide you and show you the way?"

Just as Wen Hankong was at a loss, suddenly, a surging divine sense swept over them, yet it was as peaceful as a gentle breeze sweeping away fallen leaves, making them feel comfortable.

At the same time, a calm and steady voice rang out, echoing in the ears of Wen Siyue and Wen Hankong.

Upon hearing this, Wen Hankong's face showed a look of astonishment. "Ancestor!?"

"Ancestor, are your injuries healed by now?!"

Wen Hankong was taken aback for a moment, but his joy was immediately evident on his face. After the Wen family patriarch of Ruohe retired as the president of Muyun Chamber of Commerce, he had not appeared, which aroused many rumors.

For example, there are rumors that the ancestor failed to break through to the Core Formation stage and was seriously injured, or that the ancestor suffered from a hidden illness and had little lifespan left.

But only Wen Hankong knew that after his ancestor abdicated, he had been secretly collecting materials for Core Formation, and in the process, he suffered a severe injury.

Although he successfully obtained the materials for Core Formation, he still needs to remain in seclusion for many years to recuperate from his injuries.

At this moment, the sudden voice of the Wen family patriarch in Ruohe invigorated Wen Hankong.

"There has been some progress, and there's nothing seriously wrong."

That calm and steady voice rang out again in the quiet room, soothing the myriad thoughts in their hearts.

Upon hearing this, Wen Hankong felt a sense of certainty. Since the ancestor had said so, it meant that he was confident.

Thinking of this, Wen Hankong looked at his daughter and said softly, "Since that's the case, then you should listen to the ancestor's arrangements and cherish this opportunity."

The old ancestor has always doted on Siyue, and seeing her in such pain and turmoil, he must have felt bad too, which is why he was willing to step in to resolve her chaotic state of mind.

However, the old ancestor's injuries should not have fully healed yet, so his daughter should cherish this opportunity even more and not cause trouble for the old ancestor.

"Siyue understands."

Upon hearing this, Wen Siyue barely managed to suppress her chaotic emotions, rose from her seat, and respectfully bowed to her father and the deepest part of the Ruohe Wen family.

With the ancestor's guidance, my chaotic state of mind should be able to calm down.

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Siyue quietly left the quiet room and headed towards the deepest part of the Ruohe Wen family's territory, disappearing into the shadows.

All traces and messages.

Meanwhile, inside the Ruohe Wen family home.

Yunlian Residence.

After the banquet ended, Wen Lingyu was in charge of cleaning up the mess, while Xu Yun sat in the quiet room and took out a jade bottle from his storage bag.

pat!

As the bottle was opened, a pill fell into Xu Yun's palm. It was entirely black, with two pill patterns imprinted on it, intertwined and staggered, appearing perfectly natural.

In particular, this pill also shimmered with a faint spiritual light, rippling like flowing water, making it appear quite mystical.

It was a genuine second-tier Xuanling Pill.

"I wonder to what extent it can improve my physical and mental aptitude."

Xu Yun murmured something, then swallowed it directly. Instantly, he felt a warm current surge from his abdomen, spreading to his limbs, bones, internal organs, and other parts of his body.

At the same time, he immediately formed hand seals and began to refine the medicinal power of the Xuanling Pill.

Before long, as the medicinal power of these Xuanling Pills was injected into Xu Yun's limbs, bones, internal organs, and viscera, his blood and qi began to boil continuously, like surging waves.

At the same time, a series of crisp sounds emanated from it, as if bones were colliding and thumping.

As time passed, the commotion within Xu Yun's body intensified, and streaks of dark impurities gushed out from his skin.

With a whoosh, Xu Yun exhaled a breath of white air and suddenly shot out.

This breath of white mist was extremely sharp and refined, and it landed heavily on the stone wall not far away, creating a crack.

Immediately afterwards, the white mist dissipated and vanished without a trace, and Xu Yun slowly opened his eyes, feeling full of energy and completely comfortable.

"Hmm...it has indeed improved my physical condition a little, but not much."

Xu Yun activated his divine sense, looked inward at himself, and comprehended the changes within his Dharma body. He could only say that they were completely consistent with his expectations.

However, it is an improvement, so it's better than nothing.

In the days that followed, Xu Yun continued his cultivation as always, collecting resources from various channels.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Ruohe Wen family land.

Yunlian Residence.

Xu Yunduan sat in the quiet room, his gaze sweeping over the jade slips on the jade table, appearing very serious.

Beside him was Wen Lingyu, who considerately sorted through the jade slips Xu Yun had read, while also serving him brewed spiritual tea.

"Hmm, it seems that Brother Lin's Biyun Lin family has been developing quite well recently, and has finally gained a foothold in that wasteland."

Xu Yun put down the jade slip in his hand, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

Even after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he did not sever his ties with the Biyun Lin family. Moreover, out of consideration for their past relationship, he even made a deal with Lin Zuibai and the others.

This even includes valuable strategic resources such as second-tier talismans.

Lin Zuibai did not disappoint her kindness, not only offering a price higher than the market price, but also occasionally providing her with some useful resource channels.

Furthermore, the news of his sworn brotherhood with Lin Zuibai spread quickly, making many forces in the wasteland aware of it. As a result, they dared not offend him too much, fearing that they might offend a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The Lin family of Biyun is now considered to be of middle-class status in that wasteland.

"By the way, Sister Wen, Tianyun Mountain is going to hold a Foundation Establishment Trading Fair soon. I plan to go and see if there are any resources I need. I'll leave Yunlian Residence to you for the time being."

Suddenly, Xu Yun seemed to remember something and looked at Wen Lingyu, telling her some things.
