Demon Region, Demon City

"Disciple is here!"

The slender figure who stood at the head of the three hundred disciples immediately stepped forward.

"I have entrusted you with all matters concerning my Dao Sect Competition. I do not expect you to lead the team to victory, but you must bring back all three hundred of my fellow disciples intact. Do you understand?"

Ying Xuanzi's words were quite meaningful, reminding many of the elders of the Dao Sect of the old events that occurred five years ago during the previous sect's term.

"I will not return to the sect until I win the championship; if even one of my members is lost, I will request to leave the sect."

Unexpectedly, Lin Dong said this with great confidence.

"Senior Brother Lin Dong, please strengthen our Dao Sect!"

Upon hearing this, countless Dao Sect disciples, their blood boiling with excitement, immediately clasped their fists together and roared like thunder, expressing their hopes to the head of the Dao Sect Four Seats.

"Good!"

Lin Dong laughed loudly upon hearing this, and immediately waved his sleeve.

"Hehe, I can't bear to see my precious disciple showing his talent out there. Even if you don't win the championship, you must come back to me. That's an order."

Ying Xuanzi smiled, then without saying anything more, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

"Set off!"

Under the fervent, awe-inspiring, and expectant gazes of countless Dao Sect disciples, the three hundred disciples resolutely accepted the order and vanished into the sky with overwhelming momentum.

The Demon Region is located in the central part of the Eastern Xuan Region. It was once one of the important battlefields of the Heaven and Earth War, where countless powerful beings and the Demon Clan fought a chaotic battle. It is said that the dark soil was stained with blood.

The Demon City, as the largest city outside the Demon Region, is undoubtedly the most ideal gathering place for countless participating sects. Just two days before the start of the Sect Competition, the Dao Sect Participating Team, ranked among the top eight, successfully arrived here.

The Northern District, the largest Taobao area in the Demon City.

"Why did you agree to come out with me so readily when I asked you today? Isn't it said that men hate going shopping with women?"

On the bustling street, a handsome young man and a pretty young woman were strolling aimlessly.

Lin Dong to himself, "Of course I came here for the gate of the Eight Extremes Heaven Sealing Array of the Old Man Fen Tian, but he's not stupid, so naturally he wouldn't say that."

"The weather is so nice today, and I have a beautiful woman by my side. I couldn't ask for more."

Lin Dong said with a smile.

"Hmph, you pass."

The young woman, who had skipped and hopped all the way here, had a smile on her face. She was in a great mood and was naturally very happy to be able to go out and have fun with the man she liked.

"The Demon Region was once one of the important battlefields of the Ancient Great War. Naturally, many Ancient Expert's Natal Spirit Treasure are scattered within it. Therefore, many people have found good things in the Demon City. Perhaps we can also find a Pure Yuan Treasure."

The girl with snow-white skin stood with her hands behind her back and said with a smile.

"What you say is true, young lady. My Demon City has plenty of treasures. Come, come and take a look. Maybe you two can find a Pure Yuan Treasure at my stall."

Before Lin Dong could answer, a loud laugh rang in his ears.

That was the owner of a street stall, a middle-aged man in gray clothes. On the blue stone platform, there were about twenty magical Spirit Treasure, or fragments of Spirit Treasure, that faintly emitted a precious light.

"Found a Pure Yuan Treasure? The stall owner is quite arrogant. What? I didn't find a single Pure Yuan Treasure today, are you planning to compensate me?"

Lin Dong looked over and exclaimed, "Wow, when did the threshold for setting up a street stall become so high? Peak of the Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage, and his aura is quite solid. He must be a veteran expert."

"Haha, you jest, sir. Even if I really did possess Pure Yuan Treasure, could you afford the price?"

The middle-aged man in gray was also very slick, and he casually threw the question back at him.

However, what he said was true. The preciousness of the Pure Yuan Treasure is known throughout the Four Xuan Regions. It has always been priceless. Not to mention whether the person who obtained the Pure Yuan Treasure would want to sell it, even if they did sell it, no one else would be able to come up with that much money.

The only ones who could easily purchase Pure Yuan Treasure are probably those Super Sect that suppress a region.

Lin Dong smiled noncommittally after hearing this. "Are you kidding me? You'd let me know that I control two Dan River? One is the Nirvana Pill River, and the other is the Xuan Yuan Pill River. Are you scared yet?"

"You believe everything people say? Let's go take a look."

The girl in white tugged at Lin Dong, and soon picked up a jade-green hairpin, looking delighted. It seemed to be a Lower Grade Heaven-grade Spirit Treasure.

Upon inquiring about the price, it was three million Nirvana Pill. Before Lin Dong could even make a move, the girl nonchalantly took out her Cosmic Bag and paid the money.

"Hehe, I won't let you pay for me. I'm a rich young lady. Do you have as many Nirvana Pill as I do?"

Ying Huanhuan smiled sweetly and turned her clear eyes. How could the Little Princess of the Dao Sect be short of money? She didn't like those slutty, cheap girls who shouted about independence but always wanted boys to pay for everything.

"Young lady, you have no idea of the power of money~"

Lin Dong smiled but didn't reply. He aimlessly looked at the items on the stall, pausing slightly when his gaze fell on a palm-sized, Dark Red Copper Furnace.

"Hey kid, don't be so stingy. Learn from those girls and be more generous. No woman likes a stingy man."

The stall owner spoke with an air of self-assurance, deliberately provoking Lin Dong.

"Okay, then I'll buy one. This one will do."

Lin Dong casually picked up the Broken Copper Furnace.

"That bronze furnace, I don't know what it's for, but since you like it, I'll give you a discount: ten million Nirvana Pills."

The stall owner glanced at the booth with feigned interest and casually rattled off a string of numbers.

Damn it, this kid isn't even as handsome as me, so why does he have such stunning beauties by his side? Watch me fleece him today.

—A lament from a single person

"Could this be the legendary 12% off, the emperor's special price?"

Lin Dong's movements suddenly froze, staring at the stall owner in disbelief. "Luckily you don't know how to use this thing. If you did, would you have to add another zero to the end? And it was even discounted!"

"Ahem, just kidding, just kidding. How about five million?"

The stall owner coughed lightly, feeling guilty for overcharging the stall owner.

"Keep bragging, let's see how much more discount you can give me."

Lin Dong put down the bronze furnace and looked at the middle-aged man in gray with a half-smile.

"Then... then three million, really no less, brother, can you give me face?" The stall owner looked exhausted and whispered as he negotiated.

This piece of junk has been sitting here for so long that even the Nirvana Flame generated by Nirvana Stage expert couldn't burn or melt it, making it unusable. Whoever wants it can have it.

Hey, he'll never show off again!

"Okay, that works too."

Lin Dong reluctantly pursed his lips, took out his Cosmic Bag, paid the money, and slapped away the girl who was about to pay as well, scolding her impatiently:

"Go away, get out of here. You won't let me pay for you, and now you're paying for me instead. Are you really planning to keep me as your sugar daddy?"

This elicited a coquettish laugh from the girl, who then declared, "I'm going to take care of you!"

"Damn it, you can run away from it one day, but you can't hide forever..."

Looking at the scene before him, the stall owner murmured with despair.
