Harvest at the Bottom of the Pool, Chamber of Commerce Offering!

The depths of the Danxian Pool were unexpectedly winding, filled with numerous branching paths. Water surged from these channels, creating turbulent currents that roared incessantly.

As he ventured deeper, Lin Yi began to feel a bone-chilling cold.

Vigorous Yuan Power surged from his dantian, wrapping around his entire body, which finally dulled the piercing chill just a little.

"The terrain beneath this Danxian Pool is too complex. Do you have a way to distinguish the path?"

While diving deeper, Lin Yi sent a mental message to Little Mink inside the Stone Talisman.

"Take the path on the right," Little Mink's voice quickly returned.

Hearing this, Lin Yi did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately followed Little Mink's guidance to delve deeper.

Suddenly, Lin Yi noticed a faint glow ahead in the dark passage, and the view before him suddenly widened.

"Plop!"

A subtle sound rang out, and Lin Yi was shocked to find that the surrounding pool water had mysteriously vanished, his feet landing in a slightly cramped cave.

The cave was not large, and the only exit was the channel Lin Yi had just swum through.

However, it was quite strange; the pool water seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier at the cave entrance, preventing the cave from being flooded.

Lin Yi shifted his gaze and quickly spotted a deep blue ball of light, the size of a human head, hovering in the middle of the cave.

Inside that light, one could faintly see the shadow of a snake swimming about.

Behind that light, three round, black-and-white beads were suspended. Even from a distance, Lin Yi could feel the pure Yin Yang energy radiating from them.

Without a doubt, those three beads were the Yin Yang Pearls!

"The treasure has been found. What should I do next?" Lin Yi studied it for a few moments before withdrawing his gaze and asking Little Mink in the Stone Talisman.

Little Mink said, "Pour all your Yuan Power into the Stone Talisman. Leave the rest to me!"

Lin Yi focused his mind, and the Yuan Power in his dantian poured into the Stone Talisman embedded in the flesh of his palm.

"Hum!"

Accompanied by such a massive infusion of Yuan Power, the Stone Talisman emitted a faint humming sound. Then, light flickered, and a slightly translucent figure appeared above Lin Yi's palm—it was Little Mink.

Having absorbed a large amount of Lin Yi's Yuan Power, the pure black color of Little Mink's body seemed to have gained a hint of purple. On its forehead, there was a very faint marking that looked like a mysterious rune.

"Hurry up," Lin Yi said, his face turning pale as almost all the Yuan Power in his dantian had been poured into Little Mink.

"Mm," Little Mink nodded. A trace of purple-gold flashed in its bright eyes, and a faint aura of pressure quietly spread outward.

Even though he was prepared, Lin Yi was still forced to stagger backward by that faint pressure, his legs bending involuntarily.

"Heh heh, useless fellow, you can't even handle this much?" Little Mink chuckled mockingly, then a black light flashed on its body, and it appeared directly in front of the light orb.

Looking at the blue light orb, a look of gravity flashed in Little Mink's eyes. Its claws danced rapidly, and streaks of black light flew out, quickly condensing into a vortex that resembled a black hole.

"Heavenly Demon's Maw, devour!"

The moment the black hole took shape, a hoarse voice emanated from Little Mink's mouth.

"Whoosh!"

As Little Mink's voice rang out, the black hole vortex began to spin crazily. As it rotated, the black light condensed, seemingly transforming into a giant maw, and a suction force erupted, slowly dragging the light orb inside.

Lin Yi kept his eyes fixed on Little Mink's movements, but his feet quietly retreated, stopping at the cave entrance, ready to flee at any moment.

However, Little Mink did not disappoint Lin Yi. After a fierce struggle with the Demonic Spirit of the Azure Water Demonic Python, it finally emerged victorious, successfully devouring the spirit.

Immediately, Little Mink's body turned into a beam of light and shot back, diving into the Stone Talisman in Lin Yi's palm.

"Kid, I'll remember this favor, but I might need to sleep for a while..."

Just as Little Mink entered the Stone Talisman, an exceptionally weak voice echoed in Lin Yi's mind, followed by silence.

"Splash!"

At that moment, the sound of water arrived, and the pool water that had been blocked at the entrance began to flood into the cave.

Seeing this, Lin Yi did not hesitate. He quickly stored the three Yin Yang Pearls into his Universe Ring, then turned around and swam back through the original channel.

Outside the Danxian Pool, Xia Zhilan and the others had finished their absorption and had already exited the pool.

Xia Wanjin and the others were waiting by the side, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Could something have gone wrong?" Xuan Su frowned slightly, her tone filled with worry.

"It shouldn't have. Yue Shan and I both scouted the bottom of the Danxian Pool, and we didn't find any danger," Xia Wanjin shook his head and said.

"Plop!"

Just as they were speaking, a sound erupted from the calm pool surface, and Lin Yi's figure broke through the water, landing beside the pool.

"He's out!"

Seeing the young man who had finally appeared, Xuan Su and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Apologies, I was curious and took a look at the bottom of the pool, which delayed me for a while," Lin Yi said with a smile, cupping his hands at the group gathering around him.

"Heh heh, it seems little brother Lin Yi has gained quite a lot this time," Xia Wanjin said with a smile, his gaze sweeping over Lin Yi.

Lin Yi smiled upon hearing this, "Just a slight improvement, that is all."

"Since matters here have concluded, let us return to Flame City," Xuan Su said with a charming smile from the side.

No one had any objections to her suggestion, and they immediately set off on the journey back.

During the return trip, Xia Wanjin chatted with Lin Yi for a while, gaining a good understanding of Lin Yi and the Lin Family's situation, before suddenly saying, "I would like to invite young friend Lin Yi to hold the title of honorary elder in my Wanjin Merchant Guild. Would you be willing?"

"Then I thank you, Guild Master Xia," Lin Yi pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.

It made no difference to him personally, but having this connection would bring significant benefits to the future development of the Lin Family.

Seeing Lin Yi agree, Xia Wanjin was quite pleased.

Lin Yi's current strength might not be much to speak of yet, but Xia Wanjin placed extreme importance on his potential.

If they did not try to win over such a genius before he truly rose to prominence, then by the time Lin Yi had fully matured, the Wanjin Merchant Guild would not even have the qualifications to offer their goodwill.

The two parties continued their friendly conversation all the way, returning to Flame City without any waves or trouble.

After bidding farewell to Xia Wanjin and the others, Lin Yi left Flame City directly and headed back toward the Lin Family.

Upon returning home, Lin Yi briefly recounted the events since they had parted to his family, and then threw himself back into his cultivation.

Lin Yi had already reached the limit of the Heaven Origin Realm, and now with the Yin Yang Pearls in hand, he intended to strike while the iron was hot and put all his effort into breaking through to the Yuan Dan Stage!
