Supreme Grade Yin Sha Energy, Grand Yin Profound Sha Qi

"Big Brother, this should be a Yang Yuan Pill, right?"

Lin Dong happily took out a fiery red pill and showed it to Wu Yun.

"Mm. How did you get it?" Wu Yun asked, though he already knew the answer.

"Big Brother, look!"

Lin Dong immediately demonstrated. He took out three Yang Yuan Stones and placed them in his palm as he usually did when refining medicinal herbs.

Then, the Stone Talisman in his palm lit up. The three Yang Yuan Stones, which had originally glimmered with a faint red sheen, rapidly dimmed. In an instant, all their light vanished, and they finally turned into a cloud of powder that drifted down.

Next, rays of light shot out from the flesh of his hand. The rays intertwined and condensed into a fiery red pill the size of a thumb!

"Yang Yuan Stones can be refined too? Damn, your Stone Talisman is ridiculously overpowered."

Wu Yun once again put on an Oscar-worthy performance of surprise.

Even he was tempted by the Stone Talisman cheat. That was also why he could not bear to leave Lin Dong, his tool.

It could be said that in this world, as long as one stayed by Lin Dong's side, it would be hard not to become powerful.

Yang Yuan Pills contained natural Yanggang Qi and were extremely useful to anyone below the Core Formation Stage, especially Heavenly Origin Stage experts.

In large cities, Yang Yuan Pills were used as currency. They were far more valuable than gold, silver, and treasures.

Wu Yun said, "No, I heard Senior Brother Luo Tong mention that only experts above the Core Formation Stage can refine Yang Yuan Stones into Yang Yuan Pills. And even then, their ratio is ten Yang Yuan Stones for one Yang Yuan Pill. But your Stone Talisman only needs three."

"Gasp, three times the efficiency!" Lin Dong was stunned as well.

Wu Yun said, "One Yang Yuan Pill can be exchanged for at least ten Yang Yuan Stones."

"This is simply too powerful!"

"If we became middlemen, wouldn't we make a fortune?"

Though he had known this long ago, Wu Yun was still thrilled at this moment.

With the Stone Talisman, they could make money while lying down.

Lin Dong asked, "Big Brother, what's a middleman?"

"Someone who specializes in buying Yang Yuan Stones and reselling Yang Yuan Pills!"

"Big Brother, that's too dangerous. If others find out, they'll definitely fight over the Stone Talisman."

"Of course. If other people found out, they'd definitely capture you, lock you in a little dark room, and make you refine pills for them. You'd only be a tool."

"So we can't tell anyone. Only the two of us can know about it and use it."

To keep the Stone Talisman secret, the two did not use too many Yang Yuan Stones. They only took out a small amount to refine pills.

"The Trade Caravan is ready. Let's set off!"

The Mad Blade Martial Arts School's Trade Caravan appeared to be transporting ironwood, but it was secretly carrying Yang Yuan Stones.

This time, Luo Cheng personally led the team, with Luo Tong and Lin Xiao accompanying him. Three Heavenly Origin Stage experts made for an exceptionally impressive lineup.

Lin Zhentian remained behind to guard Ironwood Manor!

Under the banner of the Mad Blade Martial Arts School, even the bandits along the road did not dare target them. The Trade Caravan arrived safely in Flame City.

Looking at Flame City's towering walls and the endless stream of people entering and leaving through its gates, Wu Yun could not help but sigh. "As expected of Flame City. Qingyang Town looks utterly shabby by comparison."

"Big Brother, this is your first time in Flame City too?"

"Mm. I've passed through several nearby towns before, but I've never come to Flame City."

"Junior Brothers, once we enter the city, don't run around recklessly. Flame City is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed together, and there are countless hidden experts. There are some people we simply cannot afford to offend," Luo Tong warned solemnly.

He was worried that the two were too curious and hot-blooded in their youth, and might accidentally provoke someone from a major power.

"We definitely won't cause trouble," Wu Yun promised seriously, though he knew full well... We might not cause trouble, but trouble will definitely come looking for us.

Because with the destiny of the Child of Destiny beside him, Lin Dong was born to attract trouble! Lin Dong said, "Brother Luo Tong, tell us about the forces in Flame City so we can avoid them if we run into them."

"Speaking of the forces in Flame City, they're far more complicated than those in Qingyang Town. On average, one faction is destroyed every month, while several new factions rise up. Any force that wants to gain a stable foothold in Flame City must have at least a Core Formation Stage expert overseeing it.

"However, while there are plenty of large and small factions, three major powers stand above them all in Flame City. For many years, no one has been able to shake their positions."

Lin Dong eagerly played along. "Which three powers?"

"The Yan City Lord's Mansion, the Ten Thousand Gold Merchant Association, and the Blood Wolf Gang."

At that moment, Luo Cheng reminded them, "All right, we're entering the city. Stay alert."

They passed through the somewhat dim passage beneath the city gate and officially entered Flame City.

Ding. You have successfully arrived in Flame City. Would you like to check in?

Wu Yun said, "Check in!"

Check-in successful. Reward obtained: Supreme Grade Yin Sha Energy, Grand Yin Profound Sha Qi!

Supreme Grade?

Wu Yun froze. Yin Sha Energy in this world was divided from Grade One to Grade Nine.

Grade Nine was the highest.

What kind of concept was Supreme Grade? Forget it, no need to dwell on it. Anything produced by the system is bound to be top-quality.

I happen to need this. With this Grand Yin Profound Sha Qi, it should be enough for me to cultivate to the peak of the Earth Yuan Stage!

Wu Yun thought to himself.

The Earth Yuan Stage required one to absorb Yin Sha Energy into the body for cultivation. The stronger the Yin Sha Energy absorbed, the more solid one's foundation at the Earth Yuan Stage would be, and the stronger one would be at the same level of cultivation.

Ding. The next check-in task has been refreshed. Please check in at the Underground Lava Cave beneath Ironwood Manor.

Great! It won't be long before I can check in again... Wu Yun was delighted.

He knew about the Underground Lava Cave beneath Ironwood Manor. If one kept digging deeper along the Yang Yuan Stone Mine tunnels, they would encounter it at a certain depth. There was also a small opportunity waiting there.

I get it. The places where the system sends me to check in are almost all places where Lin Dong obtains opportunities.

Wu Yun felt as though he had discovered the key point.

After arriving in the city, they settled down at the Mad Blade Martial Arts School's usual stronghold.

The group then split into two. Luo Tong went to trade the ironwood as a cover, while Luo Cheng brought Lin Xiao to trade the Yang Yuan Stones.

"Master, be careful of the Lei Family. Someone might follow you."

Wu Yun warned him. In the original story, the Lin Family had been followed by the Lei Family during their first trade. The Yang Yuan Stones were discovered, and a heap of trouble came early.

It was only a matter of time before the Yang Yuan Stone Mine was exposed, but delaying it as long as possible would naturally be best.

Right now, both Wu Yun and Lin Dong needed time to grow stronger.

Because of Wu Yun's involvement, many things had already happened ahead of schedule.

"Don't worry. Our Mad Blade Martial Arts School has its own sales channels in Flame City. The Lei Family won't be able to get close," Luo Cheng said confidently.

The Mad Blade Martial Arts School had always specialized in traveling trade routes. They knew many merchants and had broader connections than the Lin Family.

After they left, only Wu Yun and Lin Dong remained.

Lin Dong said, "Big Brother, it wasn't easy for us to come all the way to Flame City. Let's go out and take a look around. I promised Qing Tan I'd buy her a gift."

"Sure. Let's go have a look."

The two went out onto the streets and wandered around curiously.

They bought so many things that both their hands were full.

At that moment, a towering building entered their sight.

It was taller than all the other buildings and particularly distinctive!

The two were immediately intrigued.

"Exotic Item Tower!"

"Come on, let's go inside and take a look."
