Over the next few days, Jiang Yun suddenly felt much more at peace. Wang Ruliu, who had been pestering him daily, had been imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Division. He feared he would never come out alive.
Because he was involved with the evil cultivators, Jiang Mingyuan's family, who used to have a good relationship with him, stopped calling Jiang Yun to their home for dinner these days. Jiang Yun was happy to have some peace and quiet and began to prepare for the upcoming auction.
There are auctions in Zi Yang Immortal City every year. Of course, the largest auction is the Zi Yang Talisman Meeting held every ten years. I heard that many Jindan cultivators will participate in the auction.
The Fuhui was still five or six years away, but Jiang Yun would not miss the annual auction.
He now needs the raw materials needed to refine magic weapons. Now, except for the Ziyang Divine Stone, all the other materials for the Zixiao Divine Mirror have been collected, but Jiang Yun still wants to see if there is any opportunity to refine other magic weapons.
There were also the spiritual herbs and their seeds he needed for his cultivation: Shenpo Pills, Yulu Pills, and Biyue Pills. These were the elixirs he needed for the Foundation Establishment Stage. Unfortunately, without the conditions for spiritual plant ripening using divine techniques, gathering them was extremely difficult. Jiang Yun would need to purchase them all at the auction.
Next came various second-grade animal hides and tree barks. These were essential for drawing second-grade talismans. Furthermore, talisman paper made from top-grade second-grade animal hides could be used to draw talismans of top-grade second-grade and below. However, lower-grade second-grade talisman paper was simply not capable of drawing mid- to upper-grade second-grade talismans.
Jiang Yun then began to sell some of the magic weapons in his hands. These were obtained from the storage bags of Wang Ruliu and the demon cultivator. Because he wanted to hand the demon cultivator over to the Demon Suppression Division, he did not take any items contaminated with demonic energy, and only took ordinary magic weapons and spirit stones.
After Ling Tong arrived and finished his inspection, he didn't say anything. Many cultivators simply brought the head of a demon cultivator, and as long as their identity was confirmed, they were required to pay the bounty. Not to mention Jiang Yun, who only took a portion of it.
"I'm sorry, fellow Daoist, but the shop doesn't have any second-grade mid-to-high-quality talisman paper right now. How about you leave a message and I'll let you know when I have it in stock?"
Jiang Yun asked several talisman-making shops, but none of them had second-grade talisman paper. Only a few had low-grade talisman paper. Jiang Yun had no choice but to pay for some, and the price was indeed more than double that of first-grade talisman paper.
"We can only hope for the auction,"
Jiang Yun thought about it and started to prepare to sell the elixirs and magic tools that he no longer needed, in order to accumulate spirit stones to participate in the auction.
Meanwhile, within the Demon Suppression Division, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator had interrogated Wang Ruliu's network of connections and apprehended several Qi Refining demon cultivators connected to him. Unfortunately, another key demon cultivator's mind was in a state of confusion, and even a soul search yielded nothing.
"Smart little fellow!"
Ling Tong stood respectfully before the Commander, his direct superior within the Demon Suppression Division. He carefully examined Jiang Yun's information, chuckled, and said,
"Since the other party was able to capture the demon cultivator so easily, it seems he is no ordinary Qi-refining cultivator. No wonder he chose to follow the orthodox foundation-building path. Let's report it to the Worship Hall!"
"Yes, Commander Lin!"
"By the way, if the Worship Hall doesn't respond, find a way to bring Mu Lin to our Demon Suppression Division."
Ling Tong was delighted after hearing this and quickly clasped his fists in greeting. From his brief contact with Mu Lin, he could tell that the other party was not an ordinary cultivator, so he also wanted to make friends with him and hoped to have a good helper in the sect.
When the chief priest in the Worship Hall received the official letter from the Demon Suppression Division, he took a look at it and then threw it aside.
"Hmph! Barbarians!" Among the skilled monks gathered in the Offering Hall, they looked down upon the Demon Suppression Division, a group of barbarians who only knew how to use force.
"What's wrong, Master?"
A Qi-refining cultivator nearby asked when he saw this, and he picked up the official letter curiously.
"Huh? Isn't this the Mu Lin who attended the teacher's class?"
This late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Worship Hall was none other than Lin Chengsi, the same cultivator Jiang Yun had attended classes with. The cultivator next to him was none other than his direct disciple, Xu Xing.
"Why, Xing'er, do you have any impression of him?"
Lin Chengsi looked at his apprentice Xu Xing. He would hold an open talisman class every few months, so how could he pay attention to the information of so many students?
"Well, this is a top-level first-level alchemist. His status in other cities is much higher than that of a student like me."
Xu Xing was telling the truth. The status of an alchemist was indeed higher than that of a talisman master, but the top talisman master had the highest status in Ziyang City.
"Why don't we let him try that Qilinzi from the Zhang family?"
Xu Xing suddenly thought of something and quickly told the teacher.
"Hmm..." Lin Chengsi thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, then give him a chance."
While Jiang Yun was preparing, he didn't know that he had caught the attention of Lin Chengsi in the worship hall.
The next night, inside Danfu Residence, Jiang Yun was practicing on his meditation cushion. Ever since he had the meditation cushion, Jiang Yun had practiced for three hours every night without fail. This was a method he had experimented with, as it allowed him to maximize the effectiveness of his practice while also allowing him to rest more easily.
Jiang Yun, who continued to practice tonight, suddenly felt that the formation outside the door was triggered.
"Who is it? A demon cultivator?"
Jiang Yun quickly stopped practicing, stood up from the cushion, and took out the spiritual weapon he carried with him.
"Squeak!" Xiaobai suddenly ran out of the house, pointing his little paws at the door and squeaking.
"Is there a person?"
Jiang Yun saw Xiaobai's gesture and immediately understood, then nodded to Xiaobai.
"Ah!" Suddenly a scream was heard outside the door, and it spread far away along Danfu Residence in the night sky.
Jiang Yun, who had been lying in ambush at the door, moved suddenly when he heard the scream and immediately came to the door. He saw Xiaobai rushing to the face of a monk in black clothes and scratching him with his sharp claws that were shining with cold light.
