Minor Perfection Yuan Dan Stage Late Phase

The Sixth Grade Demonic Blood Vermilion Fruit was ultimately purchased by Lin Dong for sixty-eight thousand Yang Yuan Stones, and everyone at the auction came to recognize him as a shamelessly wealthy big spender.

Just as Lin Dong was completing the handover of the auction item backstage, the tightly shut door was suddenly opened from outside, and several figures filed in.

"Mr. Lin Dong, I am Suxuan, Steward of the Myriad Gold Merchant Association. Might I have a few minutes of your time?"

The red-dressed beauty at the front gave a polite slight bow.

"That is fine. Manager Su can simply call me Lin Dong."

Lin Dong nodded slightly, already having some idea of why she had come.

"Young Friend Lin Dong, may I ask how many seals you currently possess as a Symbol Master?"

Master Yan, who had long been unable to contain himself, immediately spoke up from the side.

"So it is Lord Yan Xuan, president of the Yan City Talisman Master Association. This junior is currently a Two-Seal Symbol Master." Lin Dong's heart stirred. Could it be that the Tower Battle was approaching?

"Hehe, a Two-Seal Symbol Master. Just as I thought."

Master Yan revealed an enlightened expression and immediately laughed. "Since you know that this old man is the president of the Yan City Talisman Master Association, you must certainly know something about the Tower Battle."

"The Tower Battle between Yan City and Skyfire City is drawing near. As a member of Yan City's Symbol Masters, would you be willing to lend the Yan City Talisman Master Association a hand and keep the Talisman Master Tower in Yan City?"

"Of course, this old man will not let you suffer a loss. If you participate in the Tower Battle within the Talisman Master Tower, not only will you be able to temper your Mental Energy, you may also have the chance to obtain a Qi-level Mental Secret Technique from the Eighth Floor of the Talisman Master Tower."

As if afraid that Lin Dong would refuse, Master Yan deliberately added that last sentence.

"Fine, Lin Dong accepts this matter. I am a member of the Yan City Lin Family. Master Yan can send someone to notify me at the Lin Family when the time comes."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Dong decisively agreed.

Not only did he want the Qi-level Mental Secret Technique on the Eighth Floor, he also wanted to erase the whereabouts of the Ancestral Symbol on the Ninth Floor. Though he already knew the exact locations of two Ancestral Symbols, there was no guarantee that future generations would not enter and obtain that information.

Lin Dong's decisiveness caught Master Yan slightly off guard. He then burst into laughter. "Good! Young Friend, you are indeed straightforward. In two months, I will certainly send someone to notify Young Friend Lin Dong."

"Lin Dong, since you are a Two-Seal Symbol Master comparable to a Minor Yuan Dan Stage expert, would you be willing to do another favor for my Myriad Gold Merchant Association?"

"Our Myriad Gold Merchant Association has discovered a Pill Immortal Pool containing extremely pure yin and yang energies. It is of little use to Yuan Dan Stage experts, but it has miraculous effects on Sky Origin Stage experts, helping them quickly advance into the Yuan Dan Stage and condense a high-quality Yuan Dan."

"Unfortunately, the Blood Wolf Gang discovered that Pill Immortal Pool at the same time. To fight for ownership of it, we agreed to have the younger generation compete, with three matches determining victory or defeat."

"We already have two candidates and lack only one more. If you join us, our victory will be assured."

A fragrant breeze drifted over as the mature and beautiful Suxuan gracefully approached Lin Dong, softly pleading with him.

"The price for asking me to act is not low. How about giving me a spot to enter the Pill Immortal Pool?"

Lin Dong smiled. The yin and yang energies within the Pill Immortal Pool might not be particularly useful to him now that he had entered the Yuan Dan Stage, but he absolutely had to obtain the Yin Yang Pearl at the bottom of the pool and the Demonic Spirit of the Azure Snake Demonic Python.

"Certainly. As long as you are willing to act, everything is negotiable."

Suxuan nodded without hesitation. With both sides' young experts being Sky Origin Stage experts, Lin Dong's participation as a Two-Seal Symbol Master practically guaranteed them one victory.

Moreover, Lin Dong's cultivation as a Two-Seal Symbol Master would make others instinctively overlook his Origin Energy cultivation. In Suxuan's view, Lin Dong should also be an Earth Origin Stage or Sky Origin Stage expert.

"Three days from now, Brother Lin Dong, please be sure to come to the Myriad Gold Merchant Association headquarters. Otherwise, I will come looking for you myself. I know the Yan City Lin Family—a newly risen family that moved here from Qingyang Town a little over a month ago."

Seemingly afraid that Lin Dong might regret it, Suxuan smilingly pointed out the Lin Family's background. As the chief steward of the Myriad Gold Merchant Association, she knew the situation throughout Yan City like the back of her hand.

"Certainly. Lin Dong will not forget."

Lin Dong gave a helpless smile. He would not miss such a good opportunity.

"Then it is settled?"

Suxuan extended a jade-like hand and playfully winked at Lin Dong. It had to be said that when an exceptionally charming beauty made such a gesture, it was indeed incredibly alluring.

Even Xia Zhilan looked at her aunt in surprise. Her aunt rarely showed such an expression...

"Mm, it is settled."

Suppressing the urge to laugh, Lin Dong reached out and high-fived Suxuan.

Snap!

The jade box was casually opened, revealing a dark-red fruit as round and smooth as a pearl. Natural patterns faintly seeped across its surface, while a rich, secluded fragrance wafted out.

Sixth Grade Demonic Blood Vermilion Fruit!

"It was not in vain that I spent nearly seventy thousand Yang Yuan Stones to buy you."

Sensing the dense energy fluctuations radiating from the Demonic Blood Vermilion Fruit, Lin Dong nodded inwardly. His outstretched right palm then reached toward the jade box, mysterious rays of light emerging from his body as the Demonic Blood Vermilion Fruit rapidly withered.

At the same time, six dark-red medicinal pellets, still carrying a trace of warmth, appeared in Lin Dong's palm.

"As expected of a Sixth Grade spiritual medicine. It actually yielded six medicinal pills. If I consume them all, I should be able to enter the Minor Perfection Yuan Dan Stage Late Phase in one go, right?"

Lin Dong casually tossed one medicinal pellet into his mouth. Pure yet gentle medicinal energy immediately surged through his limbs and bones, and the first-rate cultivation technique manual, the Pure Yang Art, began circulating at high speed.

Cultivation began!

Three days later, before Lin Dong had even set out, the Myriad Gold Merchant Association had already sent someone to invite him to gather at their headquarters.

The moment Lin Dong arrived at the Myriad Gold Merchant Association headquarters, a tall beauty took the initiative to greet him. Who else could it be but Xia Zhilan?

"Lin Dong, you finally came. I might need to trouble you later. A pest named Song Qing insists on joining this Pill Immortal Pool Competition too."

Xia Zhilan glanced at the tagalong behind her and deliberately raised her voice.

At her words, anger flashed through the eyes of the somewhat effeminate Blue-clothed Youth, though he maintained a smile on the surface. "Zhilan, I know you have some misunderstanding about me, but I'm only thinking of the Merchant Association's interests. After all..."

"Enough, Song Qing. I'll warn you one last time—don't call me Zhilan. We're not close."

Xia Zhilan's Eyebrows knitted slightly, and she made no effort to hide her disgust for the Blue-clothed Youth.

"You..."

The Blue-clothed Youth, who had never been good at concealing his emotions, was thoroughly enraged. Yet he did not dare vent his anger at Xia Zhilan, the Myriad Gold Merchant Association's young lady. He could only turn toward the innocent-looking Lin Dong and bark, "Kid, I heard you're a Two-Seal Symbol Master? Such a young Two-Seal Symbol Master—you couldn't possibly be..."

"Shut up!"

Lin Dong cast Song Qing an indifferent glance, his words carrying a faint mental pressure.
