"The Blood Wolf Gang has a grievance with my Lin Family. By rights, it would be only proper for me to help you deal with the Blood Wolf Gang, Sister Su, but I've been busy with my cultivation recently."
Lin Dong was indeed tempted. It wasn't just because the Danxian Pond could help him break through to the Primal Core Realm, but more importantly, the Danxian Pond might be able to help Senior Cang Wu reconstruct his physical body.
Therefore, Lin Dong began to set his sights on the Danxian Pond.
"Furthermore, my Lin Family isn't as powerful as your Wanjin Merchant Association. If we were to rashly intervene like this, and the Blood Wolf Gang were to seek retribution later, my Lin Family would be in trouble."
Xuan Su couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this, exuding an alluring charm.
How could Xuan Su not understand the underlying meaning in Lin Dong's words? It boiled down to just two words: "Add money!"
"Don't worry, little brother Lin Dong. My Wanjin Merchant Association has a good reputation in Yan City. If you're willing to agree to help, my Wanjin Merchant Association can cooperate with your Lin Family. From now on, all the Yang Yuan Stones produced from your Lin Family's Yang Yuan Stone Mine, my Wanjin Merchant Association will purchase them at a price higher than the market value!"
Xuan Su spoke softly. As she mentioned the Yang Yuan Stone Mine, both Lin Dong and his grandfather Lin Zhentian's eyes narrowed.
But the next moment, Lin Dong and Lin Zhentian both realized that since they came to find Lin Dong on the second day, they must have known about what happened yesterday.
And with the Wanjin Merchant Association's capabilities, it was not surprising that they could trace back the previous events.
"As for you, little brother Lin Dong?"
Lin Dong couldn't help but look up at Xuan Su. He saw the mature beauty, full of charm, reveal a rich smile as she spoke.
"As long as you're willing to step in, little brother Lin Dong, I can approve a spot in the Danxian Pond for you. How about it?"
"Really?"
Lin Dong's heart immediately stirred. This was exactly what he wanted, a spot in the Danxian Pond. As for other things, he didn't really care that much.
It wasn't that Lin Dong didn't care about the Lin Family, but if he could obtain the Yin and Yang energies of the Danxian Pond to revive Senior Cang Wu, what was a mere Blood Wolf Gang?
Even Lin Dong was confident that if he could enter the Primal Core Realm and then break through to become a Two-Seal Talisman Master, he wouldn't even need Senior Cang Wu's help. He would have the ability to contend with Yue Shan, the leader of the Blood Wolf Gang, who was at the Primal Core Realm Great Perfection.
"I naturally wouldn't lie to you, little brother Lin Dong. After all, Wei Tong's previous experience is right before our eyes. Besides, your investment value is far more precious than a spot in the Danxian Pond."
Xuan Su said with a light chuckle. Lin Dong couldn't help but smile and asked softly.
"I wonder when the competition will begin?"
"It's in three days, so I'll need you to return to the Wanjin Merchant Association with me first, little brother Lin Dong. We'll head to the deep mountains in the eastern part of Yan City together then."
Lin Dong naturally had no objections. He had originally planned to visit the Wanjin Merchant Association anyway.
Suddenly, Lin Dong thought of something else and spoke again.
"Oh, right, please help me keep an eye out for any spiritual herbs containing pure Yin Sha energy, Sister Su."
"Spiritual herbs containing pure Yin Sha energy? I'll help you keep an eye out for them."
Xuan Su nodded lightly upon hearing this and agreed.
After Lin Dong went home to pack and informed Lin Qingtan, he accompanied Xuan Su to Yan City.
With the backing of the Wanjin Merchant Association, Lin Dong naturally didn't need to find an inn to stay in. He directly moved into the VIP guest rooms of the Wanjin Merchant Association.
On the day he arrived at the Wanjin Merchant Association, Lin Dong immediately consumed a large number of Yang Yuan Pills. He bought many spiritual herbs for nourishing Spiritual Power from the auction and went into seclusion to cultivate in his room.
Time flew by, and three days passed.
On the fourth day, in the early morning.
Inside a VIP guest room at the Wanjin Merchant Association, Lin Dong sat cross-legged on the bed, forming seals with his hands.
At this moment, within Lin Dong's Numinous Palace, the Talisman Seal inscribed with profound runes had a very obvious crack. It looked as if it would shatter at any moment.
Within Lin Dong's body, streams of gentle medicinal power were continuously flowing into his Numinous Palace. As these pure medicinal powers flowed into that special Talisman Seal, the mystical Talisman Seal finally began to tremble slightly.
"Crack!"
After trembling for a while, accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, the Talisman Seal actually split into two, transforming into two smaller Talisman Seals.
As the Talisman Seal split into two, a spiritual storm erupted within Lin Dong's Numinous Palace, and his Spiritual Power surged accordingly.
Two-Seal Talisman Master, breakthrough!
After a long while, as the Spiritual Power in his Numinous Palace subsided, Lin Dong finally slowly opened his eyes. His eyes had transformed into two small vortexes, and a faint Devouring Power emanated from his body.
"Hoo!"
Lin Dong exhaled a long breath, a smile appearing on his face. He said softly.
"Finally broke through. If I hadn't, I would have run out of spiritual medicine to feed it."
Although it seemed like only three days had passed, Lin Dong's Spiritual Power was already strong, and he wasn't far from breaking through. Coupled with these three days, he had also completely used up all the spiritual herbs he had bought for nourishing Spiritual Power.
It was only through these combined efforts that he was able to take this step today.
Lin Dong raised his hand and beckoned. A Talisman Seal appeared in his palm, emitting a faint Devouring Power.
"Is this Devouring Power? It's truly overbearing!"
Looking at the small black vortex in his hand, Lin Dong muttered to himself.
The reason Lin Dong was able to absorb so many spiritual herbs during these three days was greatly due to the Ancestral Stone's perfect extraction of medicinal power. Another key factor was this Devouring Spirit Talisman.
Devouring Spirit Talisman was Lin Dong's name for his Life Spirit Talisman, as it was personally refined by the Lord of Devourment and possessed immense Devouring Power.
It was precisely because of the power of this Devouring Spirit Talisman that Lin Dong became increasingly curious about the legendary Ancestor Talismans.
After all, if a mere imprinted Spirit Talisman was so domineering, wouldn't the true Ancestor Talismans possess world-shattering power?
If Little Marten knew what Lin Dong was thinking, it would probably curse him for not appreciating his good fortune.
This Life Spirit Talisman alone was not much inferior to a true Ancestor Talisman, and could even be considered the foremost Spirit Talisman below the Eight Great Ancestral Talismans.
One had to consider who personally condensed this Spirit Talisman. Each of the Eight Ancient Lords was reputed to be a walking Ancestor Talisman!
A Spirit Talisman personally condensed by Cang Wu was bound to be inferior to the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, but it still possessed at least a third of its power.
As for Lin Dong's Ancient Vortex Talisman Seal from before, it possessed at most a thousandth of the Devouring Ancestral Talisman's power.
"It's about time, we should get going!"
Lin Dong looked up at the sky, stretched his limbs, and then pushed open the door to walk out.
