Martial Arts, the Fairy's Cultivation

At this moment, outside...

The Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce team all stared solemnly in the direction of Danxian Pool, their expressions uncertain.

"President Xia, it's been half an hour, why hasn't Lin Dong come up yet? Did he encounter danger down there?"

Wearing a red dress, Xuan Su's almond-shaped eyes flashed with worry.

The three members of the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce left the Danxian Pool half an hour ago, while Lin Dong has been missing since diving to the bottom of the pool, leading people to suspect that he may have encountered some danger and disappeared.

The man referred to as President Xia was dressed in a golden robe and looked like a businessman. He was Xia Wanjin, the leader of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, and also one of the only three Yuan Dan Realm Great Perfection cultivators in Yan City.

Xia Wanjin had high hopes for Lin Dong, this talented young man, and had intended to try to win him over after this incident. However, Lin Dong unexpectedly ventured deep into the Danxian Pool, and his fate remains unknown.

The bottom of the pool is a complex and interwoven space, which even a Great Perfection expert like Xia Wanjin would find difficult to fully explore. Judging from rational judgment, Lin Dong, with his Heavenly Origin Realm cultivation, is trapped inside and would likely have little chance of survival.

"I'll go down and take a look. Xuan Su, you take Zhi Lan and the others back to the Chamber of Commerce first."

After a moment of contemplation, Xia Wanjin decided to enter the Danxian Pool himself to search for it. But just then, the ground suddenly trembled, the mountain collapsed, and the entrance above the Danxian Pool caved in.

"Um?"

After a moment of panic, the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce members were surprised to see a slender figure slowly emerge from the smoke and dust.

"Lin Dong?"

Seeing that calm young face, Xuan Su finally felt relieved. As the one who had helped Lin Dong make this connection, she couldn't bear to let him fall into the Danxian Pool.

Fortunately, it turned out to be a false alarm.

"Huh? Why is it getting dark?"

Just as Xia Wanjin and the others were about to inquire about the situation below Lin Dong's Danxian Pool, the sky suddenly darkened. Looking up, the scene that greeted them moved everyone present.

The once clear blue sky was now shrouded in boundless purple clouds, stretching to the horizon and turning the entire sky into a purple world.

"What is that?"

Everyone, including Xia Wanjin, looked at the scene on the horizon with a sense of bewilderment in their eyes. The area shrouded in purple light was not limited to Yan City. People throughout Tiandu County, and even the Great Yan Dynasty, could probably see this strange phenomenon.

What kind of extraordinary treasure could have been born to cause such a sensation? Clearly, it was beyond their comprehension.

"Could there truly be immortals beneath the Elixir Pool?"

At this moment, some people, combining the strange movements of the Danxian Pool with the legend that came from nowhere, were secretly shaken. Could it be that there really is an existence beyond imagination being nurtured beneath the Danxian Pool?

"Xia Wanjin, what are you guys up to?"

A loud voice came from afar, carrying a terrifying aura. Then, a series of fierce figures returned. The leader, a middle-aged man, had a blood wolf tattoo on his bare chest. His imposing presence, as heavy as a mountain, made everyone present dare not underestimate him.

"Yue Shan, the spots for this year's Danxian Pool have already been filled. Has your Blood Wolf Gang gone back on its word?"

Xia Wanjin stepped forward with a solemn expression, releasing the aura of a Yuan Dan Realm Great Perfection expert, and confronted the bare-chested giant from afar.

The Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce and the Blood Wolf Gang are both top forces in Yan City, but their relationship is far from good, and they often have conflicts. Yue Shan appears to be a rough and fierce man, but Xia Wan Jin knows best how difficult he is to deal with, so he is very cautious.

"Hmph! The Pill Immortal Pool is a secret realm of my Yan City, not the exclusive property of the Wan Jin Merchant Guild. I have come here to prevent anyone from exploiting this treasure trove and destroying it."

Yue Shan spoke in a nonchalant tone, offering a plausible reason, but everyone present knew perfectly well the true purpose of the Blood Wolf Gang members.

"What a bunch of wolf cubs, they came right at the smell of blood."

Yue Shan ignored the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce members' intentions, his imposing gaze sweeping over the figures before finally settling on Lin Dong, who had a slight frown behind him.

"Boy, I know what happened earlier. How about you bring out the treasure you got from the bottom of the pool so this gang leader can see it for himself?"

Sensing the coldness in Yue Shan's eyes, Lin Dong narrowed his eyes slightly, then calmly said under the former's gaze:

"Chief Yue doesn't think I caused such a commotion, does he?"

"Brother Lin Dong is joking..." Seeing Xia Wanjin take a step forward and subtly protect Lin Dong behind him, Yue Shan's fleshy face revealed a forced smile.

"Treasures are tempting, President Xia, aren't you curious about what kind of opportunity lies beneath the Pill Immortal Pool?"

"Such a magnificent phenomenon... if we were to join forces to explore that supreme treasure, it might be more than enough to allow us all to reach the third realm of creation..."

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Xia Wanjin's eyes, and the hearts of those present began to waver, their gazes toward Lin Dong becoming increasingly elusive.

"Chief Yue is truly shrewd."

Lin Dong's gaze toward the bare-chested man became more serious. This man's thoughts were not as simple as his appearance suggested. At this moment, Yue Shan was like a cold, venomous snake eyeing its prey, as if he might suddenly strike at any moment.

"Little Mink, we're probably counting on you this time."

Lin Dong showed no outward signs, but secretly used his mental power to communicate with the demon spirit hidden in the stone talisman.

His current strength is enough to rival Wei Tong, but he is still not strong enough to contend with a powerhouse like Yue Shan who has been at the Great Perfection stage for many years.

Xiao Diao's somewhat solemn voice then rang in Lin Dong's mind.

"A mere Yuan Dan realm cultivator at the Great Perfection stage? With Lord Diao here, he can't take your life!"

"However, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in Yan City anymore, alas."

Given Little Marten's current condition, coupled with Lin Dong's own strength, he could easily escape from a Great Perfection cultivator. However, having offended the Blood Wolf Gang, Lin Dong will likely have to spend some time wandering the world...

boom--

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, the ground shook violently again, and then everyone was horrified to see a magnificent purple pillar of light suddenly rise from below the Danxian Pool, splitting the entire mountain range in two and soaring straight into the sky with extremely terrifying energy fluctuations!

"Look, it looks like there are people in the sky!"

After the energy fluctuations subsided slightly, Xuan Su looked up at the white-clad figure in the sky and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

All eyes instantly shifted away from Lin Dong; no one paid any attention to the young man anymore, and they all unanimously ignored him.

But Lin Dong had no time to care about any of that at the moment; his gaze was also drawn to the graceful figure standing tall in the sky.

She was dressed in white, her slender waist perfectly accentuated, outlining a breathtakingly beautiful figure. Her bare feet trod in the air, adding to her ethereal beauty, like a fairy from the moon palace, pure and otherworldly.

Beneath the thin veil lies a stunningly beautiful face, enough to eclipse the world, yet it possesses an aloofness that keeps people at arm's length. Her clear purple eyes, as she glances around, exude a transcendent air that seems to lord over all living beings, inspiring awe and fear.

And amidst her long, ink-black hair, a miniature purple lotus adorned the scene, its proud purple hue adding a touch of brightness to the fairy's aloof and frost-like temperament.

"When did such a divine figure appear in Yan City?"

Everyone present was shocked by the appearance of the woman in white. Her peerless beauty, though not yet fully revealed, left no doubt that her face, hidden beneath the veil, was absolutely stunning.

At this moment, even a rare beauty like Xuan Su couldn't help but feel ashamed in front of her.

Surprisingly, the white-clad fairy in the sky slowly descended and came before the people of Yan City. Her cold gaze swept over Lin Dong and then landed on Yue Shan's burly figure.

His indifferent voice, seemingly devoid of any emotion, was clearly audible to everyone present.

"Were you the one who wanted to touch him just now?"
