Something feels off... Jiang Yan stared at the composed Lin Wudi, and hesitantly asked, "What message does the City Lord mean?"

Lin Wudi smiled and asked in return, "Young friend Jiang, do you know what a sandstorm is?"

Not only did I know, I even went inside!

and many more!

Sandstorm… Jiang Yan’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, “The city lord’s message, could it be referring to Sandstorm City?”

When Jiang Yan was catching the lucky cat before, he went to Sandstorm City and encountered a sandstorm that covered hundreds of miles outside the city!

When the sandstorm swept across the sky and earth, it was a scene of flying sand and stones, darkness and gloom, a scene resembling the end of the world. But strangely, as it moved, countless strange birds followed closely behind. Even the city lord of Sandstorm City was nearby. This made Jiang Yan suspect that there were some rare treasures in the sandstorm. Unfortunately, he went in and out several times but found nothing.

"I didn't expect young friend Jiang already knew," Lin Wudi laughed. "Then I won't waste any more words. Indeed, there's a high probability that some spiritual substance is brewing outside Sandstorm City. Whenever a sandstorm occurs, this spiritual substance will subtly appear!"

There really were spiritual substances in the sandstorm… Jiang Yan’s eyes suddenly lit up, but he quickly frowned and said, “City Lord Lin, many city lords should already know this news, right?”

Lin Wudi said, "You're wondering why we're not going to get it, right?"

Jiang Yan nodded: "When I was outside Sandstorm City, I met Fang Wu, the city lord of Sandstorm City. He seemed to know that there were spiritual substances in the sandstorm, but..."

Lin Wudi interrupted him with a smile: "Young friend Jiang, spiritual matter is something formed from the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, especially at the beginning of life, and it is something that only those with a predestined connection can obtain."

A destined person?

Jiang Yan's eyes lit up, but he immediately shook his head and sighed. He had gone in and out of the sandstorm before but had not found any spiritual matter, so he was probably not the one destined to find it.

and many more!

At this moment, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered what Fang Wu, the city lord of Sandstorm City, had said.

At the time, he asked himself what was inside the sandstorm.

Jiang Yan answered that it was yellow sand, but Fang Wu said it was wind!

Wind... If the spiritual substance in a sandstorm is wind, then the so-called destined person, could it be... wealth coming from all directions?

The hidden profession of the Eight Directions Wealth is Storm Mage, which perfectly matches the word "wind"!

Can't you?

Could it be him?

Jiang Yan's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Wudi noticed that Jiang Yan was lost in thought.

"It's nothing." Jiang Yan snapped out of his reverie and shook his head. "City Lord, is there any other news about spiritual substances? I already know that, so it doesn't count!"

Lin Wudi laughed and said, "There must be spiritual substances deep within the Broken Sky Mountains. Just keep searching in the depths."

What you said is as good as nothing... Jiang Yan knew he couldn't get any useful information out of Lin Wudi, so he took his leave.

As Jiang Yan was about to send a private message to Bafanglaicai after leaving the city lord's mansion, he didn't expect that Bafanglaicai's private message would arrive one step ahead of him!

Bafanglaicai: Brother, do you sell high-grade Blood Demon Pills at your pharmacy?

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow and hurriedly asked: Is there a problem with absorbing the poisonous gauze?

Bafanglaicai replied: That's right, the poison in this snake skin is damn poisonous. Relying solely on a mid-level Blood Demon Pill is not a safe bet!

Jiang Yandao: Come to [Black Heart Pharmacy], I happen to have something to discuss with you.

After making the arrangement, Jiang Yan went to the general store and bought 9999 [Return to Town Scrolls] at a price of 1 gold coin each.

When he rushed back to the pharmacy, Bafanglaicai was already waiting there, his face covered in bruises, looking like he had eaten a bunch of weird mushrooms.

"Brother Lai Cai, what happened to your face?" Jiang Yan asked curiously.

"It's that snakeskin again." Upon seeing Jiang Yan, Bafang Laicai immediately poured out his grievances: "I thought absorbing the poisonous venom from the snakeskin would just cause severe blood loss, but I didn't expect to feel pain all over my body. I can barely show my face in public anymore. Brother Jiang, tell me the truth, if I keep inhaling like this, will I really be alright?"

Jiang Yan looked around and saw that there were many people buying medicine in the store, so he quickly pulled Bafang Laicai to the rest room.

Upon entering the rest room, Jiang Yancai said, "Brother Laicai, don't worry, this is spiritual matter. As long as you can successfully absorb it, it will definitely greatly enhance your attack power!"

"Sigh." Bafanglaicai sighed and said, "But this process is really too exhausting."

And there's something even more agonizing... Jiang Yan laughed, "Brother Lai Cai, I just received some news that's very good for you!"

"Good news for me? Could it be some kind of spiritual substance again?" Bafanglaicai was a little scared.

"That's right!" Jiang Yan nodded. "Don't worry, this time it's not poison, it's the wind!"

"Wind?" Eight Directions Wealth suddenly perked up: "I have a hidden wind-elemental class, and this wind-attribute spiritual substance is perfect for me!"

Jiang Yan hurriedly replied, "That's what I thought too, which is why I went to great lengths to get this information out of the City Lord of Fuxi City!"

"Brother, you're so good to me!" Upon hearing this, Bafanglaicai was indeed deeply moved.

"I hope you will be moved as well..." Jiang Yan coughed lightly and said, "This spiritual substance is currently outside Sandstorm City. No one knows exactly where it is, but it will appear whenever a sandstorm occurs."

"..." The smile on Bafang Laicai's face gradually disappeared: "Brother, you mean you want me to go into... a sandstorm to find spiritual substances? And it's... the wind?"

"Mmm." Jiang Yan nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Can I swear?" Bafanglaicai asked expressionlessly.

Jiang Yan shook his head decisively.

"Brother, thank goodness this is just a game, otherwise I would have thought you were trying to kill me." Bafang Laicai was almost in despair: "Looking for wind in a sandstorm? Brother, there's nothing but wind in a sandstorm, where am I supposed to find the spiritual substance you're talking about?"

Jiang Yan hurriedly said earnestly, "Brother Lai Cai, even the city lords are eager to find this spiritual substance. If it were so easy to find, how could it be your turn?"

"Well... that's true, but I..." Bafanglaicai looked utterly dejected.

"Alright, once you absorb the poisonous veil from the snakeskin, you'll know how powerful spiritual substances are. You'll be able to run through the sandstorm on your own without me having to tell you." Jiang Yan said, initiating a trade request and giving Bafang Laicai some high-grade Blood Demon Pills.

"Thanks, brother." As Bafang Laicai was leaving, he suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, that bastard Wang Shao of Shengshi is cursing you on the game forum again. Take a look when you have time. I wonder what kind of crazy thing he's up to this time."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan hurriedly opened the game forum and immediately saw the "insult post" from Shengshi Wangshao.

Jiang Yan opened the post and found it filled with the resentment of Shengshi Wang Shao and vicious curses directed at him.

Young Master Wang of the Prosperous Era (Elder of the Prosperous Dynasty): Jiang Taigong, you son of a bitch, all you know is how to scheme behind people's backs, I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations!
