He Zishan stared at Ling Yun in utter shock, his eyes practically overflowing with admiration.

Talismans are divided into five grades: common, medium, high, top, and supreme.

Each level is further divided into three tiers.

The strongest talisman master on the Golden Cloud Continent can only draw talismans of the highest grade, level one.

Ling Yun was actually able to draw a Supreme Talisman, even though it was a Supreme Tier 3 Talisman, surpassing the level of Top Grade.

It takes immense talent and mental strength to draw the highest-grade Immortal-Trapping Talisman.

Moreover, judging from the way Ling Yun drew the talisman, he didn't expend any mental energy at all.

After being shocked for a long time, He Zishan bowed deeply to Ling Yun.

He said with heartfelt admiration:

"Young friend, you are truly talented! I admire you greatly!"

After saying that, he pointed to the five hundred chests of gold and said with a smile:

"Young friend, all five million taels of gold are yours!"

Ling Yun slightly clasped his hands and said:

"Thank you, Sect Leader He!"

Ah Bao stumbled and almost fell over. Five million taels of gold—it was all his now.

When will it ever run out of money?

Even Yan Ruyu and Xiao Yanran widened their beautiful eyes, their faces no longer able to maintain their composure.

"Then we won't disturb your esteemed sect any longer. We'll take our leave!"

Watching Abao put all the boxes of gold into his spatial ring, Ling Yun smiled and said goodbye to He Zishan.

"Wait!" He Zishan waved his hand and said with a serious expression:

"May I ask your honorable name, young friend?"

"Lingyun!"

After giving a reply, Ling Yun and A Bao left Xuanfu Sect.

“Ling Yun?” He Zishan stroked his beard, seemingly having heard the name before.

Suddenly, a look of shock crossed his face, and he murmured:

"Could it be Ling Yun, the one who almost destroyed the Spirit Sword Sect, forced the Falling Cloud Sect to close its mountain for a hundred years, and won back face for the cultivation world of Zhao Kingdom?"

...

"Brother, how are we going to squander these five million taels of gold?"

Ah Bao put the spatial ring on his hand and asked excitedly.

Ling Yun shook his head and smiled. After being a beggar for so many years, it was time for A Bao to experience the taste of money.

"Hehe... Anyway, the money's with you, spend it however you want!"

As if remembering something, Ling Yun continued:

"Next, I will purchase some high-quality refining materials. I want to create exclusive magical artifacts for you, as the quality of the magical artifacts you currently possess is too low."

As a future emperor, how can I manage without a suitable weapon?

Ah Bao waved his hand and said boldly:

"Buy, buy, buy! I'll only buy the expensive items, and I, Young Master Bao, will foot the bill for everything else!"

...

Tianxuan Sect

Upon returning to the Tianxuan Sect, the inner sect elder immediately sought out Sect Master You Tianyun and reported what he had seen and heard to him.

After listening, You Tianyun narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Without any protectors intervening, he killed the outer sect elder at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm with his cultivation at the third level of Martial Soul."

You mean unless Ling Yun has a low-grade demonic seed!

Demon seeds are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. Higher-level demon seeds can devour lower-level demon seeds.

By absorbing enough essence and blood, the demon seed will advance in rank.

You Tianyun is a demon seed of the Earth Rank.

"That's right. I believe Ling Yun must possess a Grade Earth Demon Seed, otherwise he wouldn't be able to unleash such strong combat power."

I suspect this person's demonic seed is an innate demonic seed! Otherwise, given his level of cultivation, he wouldn't be able to fuse with it!

Innate Demon Seed!

A glint of light flashed in You Tianyun's eyes, revealing a greedy expression. The innate demonic seed is a demonic seed that is born within the body at birth.

It is the purest demonic seed, and the demonic seed that every demonic cultivator dreams of.

At this moment, You Tianyun's breathing became rapid.

If he were to devour Ling Yun's innate, high-grade demonic seed, he would directly break through a major realm.

To become a Grand Cultivator in the Refinement of Void Realm.

You Tianyun suddenly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in thought for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Then, he pointed at the Grand Elder of the Inner Sect and said in a cold voice:

"Ling Yun's combat strength should be at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. If you bring the Second Elder of the Outer Sect, the Third and Fourth Elders of the Inner Sect, two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and two Core Formation Realm cultivators, it will be enough to capture Ling Yun alive!"

After thinking for a moment, You Tianyun added:

"The four of you take the boundary-suppressing stone and set up the spirit-annihilating array. Make sure everything goes perfectly!"

Oh, and remember, whatever you do, don't reveal your identity as a member of the Heavenly Profound Sect!

"Yes, sir!"

Watching the departing figure of the inner sect elder, the sharp glint in You Tianyun's eyes remained, and he imagined the scene of being devoured by the innate demonic seed.

...

Ling Yun and his group leisurely rode their horses toward Liuxi City.

Just then, hundreds of martial artists surrounded them.

The one leading the group was the shop assistant from the shop that sold the talisman paper.

He hadn't really believed Ling Yun when he completed the Immortal Trapping Talisman, but he still kept a close eye on things and had someone follow Ling Yun and his group.

Upon learning that Ling Yun had obtained five million taels of gold from the Xuanfu Sect, he immediately gathered a group of powerful rogue cultivators, intending to rob them of their wealth and, incidentally, their virtue.

"Gentlemen, I apologize for the offense. I know you have obtained five million taels of gold. Please hand over the reward immediately!"

The waiter, gripping his long sword, said arrogantly.

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Yanran and Yan Ruyu and gave them a fierce glare.

"Tsk tsk... These two beauties are really pretty. Once I have five million taels of gold, I'll definitely take good care of you!"

Although Ling Yun and his group had cultivators at the early Foundation Establishment stage, the waiter remained completely unperturbed, as he had three or four Foundation Establishment stage cultivators on his side.

Seeing this, Shangguan Hong took out his spear and rode his horse to block Ling Yun and the others.

"You bunch of scoundrels think you can rob us?"

A rogue cultivator at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage said indifferently:

"We dislike killing. Leave the gold and get out of here! Otherwise, we will kill you without mercy!"

"Wait!" the waiter hurriedly said.

"Don't kill those two women!"

The mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator nodded slightly, glanced at Ling Yun and the others, and said in a deep voice:

"You have three breaths to consider. If you don't hand over the gold by then, I'll send you to meet the King of Hell!"

With a clang!

A Bao, Yan Ruyu, and Xiao Yanran simultaneously drew their weapons, preparing for battle.

Seeing this, the mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator knew that Ling Yun and the others did not want to hand over the gold.

"Charge! Kill all the men! Leave the women alive!"

boom!

The group of rogue cultivators immediately charged towards Ling Yun and the others.

Shangguan Hong, spear in hand, prepared to charge forward. Ling Yun patted him on the shoulder and said:

"No need for all that trouble, we have talismans, just throw them away!"

The group realized that they had received hundreds of high-grade lightning talismans and sword qi talismans in the Xuanfu Sect's talisman-testing forest, enough to kill these people.

Immediately, Shangguan Hong and A Bao threw all the talismans from their spatial rings out.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The lightning talisman and sword energy talisman exploded instantly, blasting the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators at the forefront into a bloody mess.

They rushed to the front, wanting to get Ling Yun and the others' spatial rings first, then run away and keep the gold for themselves.

Unexpectedly, the other party used talismans.

Then, Abao and the others rushed out and killed the others one by one.

Thump!

The waiter knelt on the ground in terror.

"Boss, please don't kill me! It's all my fault for being greedy for money."
