“Back in Heart City, we can count ourselves safe for now,” Zou Dongsheng said.
Inside Heart City, with the Myriad Treasures Pavilion protecting them, there would indeed be no major issues.
“Come on, let’s head straight to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion to collect the beastman powerhouse’s corpse.” Lin Yun already sounded impatient.
All their efforts had been for that corpse.
The four soon arrived at the pavilion and met the Pavilion Master.
In the elegant room.
“Congratulations, Friend Beichen, on returning safely from the beastman tribe,” the Pavilion Master said warmly.
“You’re too kind, Pavilion Master. Where is the beastman powerhouse’s corpse?” Lin Yun asked.
“It seems Friend Beichen can hardly wait. I’ve already placed the corpse inside this storage ring.”
As he finished speaking, the Pavilion Master produced a storage ring and set it before Lin Yun.
Lin Yun picked it up and examined the contents.
A massive beastman corpse lay inside.
“At last, it’s mine.” A smile spread across Lin Yun’s face after confirming it.
“Friend Beichen, I’ve just received word that south of Heart City a fight broke out between the Young Lord of the Nether Palace and Mu Li, and you were present as well. That Mu Li really is loyal. Not only did he escort you back, he even sorted out the Nether Palace for you,” the Pavilion Master said with a laugh.
“Indeed, that’s exactly what happened. Your information network is impressive, Pavilion Master,” Lin Yun replied, smiling.
“Haha, nothing that happens near Heart City escapes my notice,” the Pavilion Master said cheerfully.
Lin Yun stored the ring away and stood up. “Pavilion Master, now that I have the item, I’ll take my leave. There are still matters I need to attend to.”
With the beastman powerhouse’s corpse in hand, Lin Yun naturally wanted to open his divine vein at once.
“Very well. I’ll see you out.”
The Pavilion Master rose and personally escorted the four of them out of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
Outside the pavilion.
“Friend Beichen, now that the task is complete, Dong Jian and I should head back,” Hong Yuan said.
“Senior Hong Yuan, thank you so much for your help this time.” Lin Yun cupped his fists in a respectful salute.
“If you ever need anything from me, Hong Yuan, just come find me. You know where I live.” Hong Yuan wore a warm, gentle smile.
Last time, when Lin Yun had risked his life using his body to block Yao Tai’s attack, it had deeply moved Hong Yuan. He was more than willing to become friends with Lin Yun.
“Understood, Senior Hong Yuan. If you ever need anything from me, please don’t hesitate to ask,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
He then turned to Dong Jian.
“Senior Dong Jian, my deepest thanks to you as well. Without your help, I could never have secured this deal.” Lin Yun cupped his fists again in salute.
Without Dong Jian putting in a good word, Lin Yun and Hong Yuan would have been strangers, and Hong Yuan would never have accepted the job.
“Enough with the formalities. After this journey, I admire and believe in you even more. I may fall short of you in many areas, but when it comes to swordsmanship, feel free to seek me out anytime. I’d be happy to give you proper guidance,” Dong Jian said with a laugh.
“I will certainly come bothering you in the future, Senior,” Lin Yun replied, smiling.
In any group of three, there is always a teacher for me. When it came to swordsmanship, Dong Jian truly surpassed anything Lin Yun could match.
Lin Yun humbly acknowledged this in his heart.
“Then we two will take our leave.”
After bidding farewell, Dong Jian and Hong Yuan walked away down the street.
Only Lin Yun and Zou Dongsheng remained.
“Young Master, I have to admit your charisma is remarkable. After just one trip, all of them are willing to befriend you. There are many things about you that even I can’t help but admire,” Zou Dongsheng said with a laugh.
For Zou Dongsheng, seeing how outstanding Lin Yun was, along with his shining qualities of perseverance, resilience, unyielding spirit, and keeping his promises, filled him with joy. With a Young Master like this, how could the Infinite Heavenly Palace not prosper?
“Stop flattering me. You played an indispensable part in this too. Come on, let’s head back to the inn,” Lin Yun said cheerfully.
…
Back at the inn, Lin Yun immediately took out the beastman powerhouse’s corpse and began extracting its essence blood.
The process was not difficult. Once he had drawn out all the essence blood, Lin Yun handed the corpse to Zou Dongsheng and asked him to sell it at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion for money.
For many human cultivators, buying such a beastman powerhouse’s corpse was all about the body itself, which was treasure from head to toe. Very few wanted the essence blood.
After all the recent troubles, Lin Yun was quite short on funds.
The corpse alone would fetch a handsome sum.
