WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 154: Vermilion Blood Devil Fruit

After experiencing a hostile situation that almost broke out into an all-out war, the entire Yan City seemed much calmer than before. Lin Dong also became much more relaxed. Now, he finally no longer needs to concern himself with being a 'fireman'.

Of course, although his days were more relaxed, most of Lin Dong's time was spent cultivating. Due to the fact that he had a breakthrough in Mental Energy to the third seal Master Symbol stage not too long ago, it would be very difficult to upgrade him again in such a short period of time. Thus, Lin Dong spent most of his time cultivating Yuan Power.

While he was practicing non-stop, his Yuan Power progress was rather significant. Although he had yet to break through to the advanced stage of Yuan Dan, Lin Dong could feel that he had already gradually reached the peak of Yuan Dan's early stage.

Being able to achieve this in two months is good enough. Of course, during these two months, the last Yin Yang Pearl in Lin Dong's hands had been consumed by him. This item could really be considered an incredible Yuan Power cultivation aid, unfortunately, it was far too rare. Lin Dong had once asked Xuan Su to help him buy this type of Yin Yang Pearl, but it turned out that the effort had not worked. If a normal person were to get this kind of thing, who would easily offer it for sale.

With regards to the Yin Yang Pearl being completely depleted, Lin Dong could do nothing. Fortunately, he still had the elixir-enhanced pill of the fifth grade elixir. Although they were not as effective as the Yin Yang Pearl, they were still tolerable.

Of course, the effect of the refined elixir pill of the sixth grade elixir would be much better, however, the sixth grade elixir was rarely seen even in the Thousand Gold Association. This kind of potion was highly sought after even by some perfect Yuan Dan stage practitioners and ordinary people also knew its value. Thus, even if one had a sixth grade herb, he rarely sold it. Therefore, during these two months, Lin Dong was unable to obtain even one sixth grade elixir, and this also caused him to feel a little depressed.

However, even though he was unable to obtain a sixth grade herb as he wished, it could be said that even though Lin Dong's cultivation speed was not like a rocket during these two months, it was still not bad. At this speed, successfully advancing to the Yuan Dan advanced stage was only a matter of time.

Of course, if he could use the pull of the sixth grade elixir to run through that final stretch, it would be for the best.

…

In the secluded small courtyard, Lin Dong once again slowly withdrew from his cultivation state. A whistle rang out from his mouth as a red shadow quickly dashed into the small courtyard.

"Little Fire, take this elixir pill to Qing Tan, you are not allowed to eat it secretly!" As he stared at the somewhat terrifying Little Flame in front of him, Lin Dong slightly smiled. Little Flame's current strength had already far surpassed the limits of an ordinary Fire Python Tiger. Under his red fur, scales slowly grew, a very strange sight.

Lin Dong predicted that with Little Flame's current battle strength, it might even be that an advanced Yuan Dan stage practitioner would not be able to easily deal with him. After all, now that it had a layer of armor-like scales hidden under its fur, Little Flame's defense and attack had increased by one level.

"Gram!"

Little Flame opened his mouth wide and caught the bottle thrown by Lin Dong, before letting out a dissatisfied low growl.

"It's greedy." Upon seeing this, Lin Dong could not help but laugh as he flicked his finger and a few elixir pills fell into Little Flame's mouth, slightly irritated as he said: "Hurry up and go!"

After swallowing all of the elixir pills into his body, Little Flame intimately rubbed his large head onto Lin Dong, before turning around as he quickly left.

"This person is becoming more and more unlike the Fire Python Tiger ..." As he stared at Little Flame's flaming figure, Lin Dong helplessly shook his head. He had never heard of an ordinary Fire Python Tiger possessing this level of intelligence.

"Some variations have appeared in the blood of this Fire Python Tiger, it should be because he ate the essence of the 'Sky Fire Wyvern' demon'." Little Marten once again appeared on Lin Dong's shoulder as he spoke in an indifferent manner.

"Wyvern Sky Fire?" After hearing this name, Lin Dong was slightly surprised. Soon after, he recalled the bones of the mysterious beast they had encountered inside the mining cave and asked: "Is that person really that strong?"

“Againly not. A Demon Beast that could condense demon essence was on par with a human that had reached the Creation stage. This kind of Demon Beast also had a bloodline and possessed extremely high battle power. Humans of the same level would be very difficult to defeat them.” Little marten explained.

"Stages of creation ..."

Lin Dong was amazed, as it turned out, he had not expected that the beast bones had such terrifying strength when it was alive. Grandfather had said that even the leader of the Lin Clan clan was only at the Creation stage right?

“Python, wyvern, and other powerful dragons held the balance of power in the Demon Beast world. Among them, some were connected by lineages. Although the Fire Python Tiger was considered to be one of the lowest rankers, fortunately he had assimilated the 'Sky Fire Wyvern's' demon essence'. After that day, he became extremely ferocious, though, how far he would go depended on his luck. ”

Lin Dong nodded, it seemed like Little Flame was now rather special, in the future, he would nurture it properly. Perhaps, one day he will undergo a super evolution, like a goldfish turned into a dragon.

"The last batch of the Yin energy potion has been exhausted ..."

Putting Little Flame aside for a while, Lin Dong was silent for a while before he suddenly said: “Recently, the Yin Qing Tan energy outbreak is becoming more and more frequent, plus again, the, they seem to be more ferocious than ever. This should be because it absorbs Yin energy right?”

During this period of time, Qing Tan's skin became sickly caused by the rupture of Yin energy in his body. Although Lin Dong could use the Stone Amulet to ease his pain, in the face of this continuous torment, it was not a solution.

"Well…"

After hearing this, the little marten looked a little awkward as he coughed and said: “There's nothing to be done about this, before, before, I forgot to tell you that for someone with a Terminus Demon Body like him, they would only gradually gain control over the Terminus Devil Qi within their body after condensing Yin Dan. However, before this, they would constantly suffer backlash from Terminus Devil Qi, and perhaps, they had even lost their senses, becoming a human vegetable.”.

"Why didn't you say this before!"

"What should I do?" After Lin Dong angrily spoke, he also became calm. There was no point in saying all this now, he needed to think of a solution.

"Find an item that has a Yin attribute to accelerate the rate at which its body condenses Yin Dan." The little marten quickly said.

"The things of the Yin realm ..."

Lin Dong smiled bitterly, he had already spent all his efforts just to find a potion with Yin properties. These Yin realm items were even more mysterious and precious, once they appeared, many people would fight over them. To get it would be easier said than done.

“*Sigh*, first of all I will go to the Thousand Gold Association. They have a lot of connections, maybe, they might have an idea.”.

Lin Dong gently sighed, without further ado, he walked out of the small courtyard before directly exiting the Lin Family and quickly making his way towards the Thousand Gold Association in the center of the city.

As he walked through the extremely busy Yan City, Lin Dong's brows suddenly furrowed slightly. He could sense that there seemed to be some strangers, and most importantly, these strangers were not weak.

Although feeling this was a bit strange, Lin Dong did not take heart. After all, Yan City was one of the major cities in Tiandu province. The influx of large numbers of foreigners would not be considered too strange.

As he suppressed the thoughts in his heart, Lin Dong moved through several paths before successfully reaching the Thousand Gold auction house. Right now, he was considered a prominent person in Yan City, so, as soon as he entered the auction house, he was immediately respectfully brought to where Xuan Su was.

"Lin Dong's little sister, you really are a dragon that only shows its head and never its tail, it seems like you only came and found me when you needed a potion, right?" Inside the study, Xuan Su stretched out, revealing the curves of his body. He flirtatiously rolled his eyes towards Lin Dong as he spoke in an unhappy voice.

Against a beauty filled with elegance and charm whether she smiled or frowned, Lin Dong could only laugh dryly: "Sister Su, is there news of a sixth grade elixir?"

Xuan Su snorted lightly as a 'as expected' expression was revealed on his face, before he smiled sweetly and nodded.

Upon seeing this, Lin Dong who was originally not overly hopeful was first stunned before excitement immediately surfaced on his face.

“Elixir sixth grade is originally going to be the key item in the auction this time, but since you need it, after we discuss with the seller, we directly buy it. Of course, it's not cheap.” Xuan Su chuckled as he spoke.

While he was speaking, Xuan Su's white-lili hand lightly pressed the bell on the table. Immediately, a servant girl entered while carrying a jade plate. On top of the jade plate, there was a red embroidered cloth, but even so, Lin Dong could still feel a strong and pure energy from within.

The servant girl very carefully lifted the embroidered cloth, revealing the jade box that had already opened underneath. The fist-sized deep red fruit, which was round like a pearl, was located within it. On the smooth and round surface of the fruit, the natural urate pattern was faintly visible, causing it to have a slightly mystical aura.

On the appearance of this dark red fruit, the entire room seemed to be filled with a gentle fragrance.

"Sixth grade elixir, Vermillion Blood Devil Fruit."

As he stared at this fist-sized deep red fruit, the excitement in Lin Dong's eyes grew, obviously, he was very satisfied with this item.

“ Little brother Lin Dong, the price of this Vermillion Blood Devil Fruit has reached sixty thousand Yang Yuan Stones. This was ten times the price of a common fifth grade elixir. ” On one side, Xuan Su smiled as he said.

"I'll buy it."

A sixth grade herb was extremely important to Lin Dong at the moment, thus, he did not have any heartache at such a great price. With a wave of his hand, he placed Qiankun's bag on the jade plate, while also taking out the jade box.

"Oh, by the way, big brother Su, can I trouble you to help me find a panacea or a special item of Yin nature and let me know if you find it." After storing the Vermillion Blood Devil Fruit, Lin Dong's expression turned serious as he said in a low voice.

"Yin Nature ..."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Su's jet-black brows fused lightly. These things are not easy to find. Even if the Thousand Gold Association had sufficient resources to purchase them, items like this would very rarely appear. However, after he thought about it for a while, he still agreed.

In response, Lin Dong also sighed in relief. Just as he was about to leave, Xuan Su suddenly smiled gently as he said: "Sister Lin Dong, do you know about the recent major events that happened in the Tiandu region?"

After hearing these words, Lin Dong was stunned, he suddenly recalled the sudden increase of strangers in Yan City, and could not help but ask curiously.

"What's going on?"
