High-Grade Talisman Puppet, Mist Forest
Looking at the kneeling heads of the Di and Liu families, Xia Wanjin and the others felt a wave of emotion.
When they first arrived, these two families had treated them with immense arrogance, not even responding to their requests for a meeting.
However, as soon as Lin Yun arrived, they instantly became submissive.
And they were even willing to directly give them the central auction house.
Xia Wanjin was filled with emotion.
He had thought about leaving Flame City, but he never expected that leaving Flame City would be so glorious, directly making powerful families like the Di and Liu families kneel before them.
All of this was because of Lin Yun; following Lin Yun was the most correct decision he had ever made.
"Little Lei, come back!"
Lin Yun beckoned, and the Thunder Source Crystal Beast obediently returned to his side, prostrating at his feet.
Without the pressure from the Thunder Source Crystal Beast, Di Teng and the other man breathed a huge sigh of relief. Just now, they truly felt like they were standing before the gates of hell.
"I'll accept the auction house. We'll let bygones be bygones regarding what you did to Little Lei before," Lin Yun immediately stated.
If he accepted something from someone, he had to give a promise in return.
He now represented the commerce guild, and harmony brings wealth. To grow stronger and bigger, they had to have credibility.
"Thank you, Young Master Lin Yun!"
Both men were incredibly grateful. Looking at the docile demon beast at Lin Yun's feet, their awe towards Lin Yun deepened.
At the stage of the Thunder Source Crystal Beast, it already possessed sufficient intelligence to know who its enemies were and who its master was.
Since the Di and Liu families hadn't killed it, they had to be prepared for the Thunder Source Crystal Beast's revenge.
Even if the Thunder Source Crystal Beast didn't come out to kill, the two families wouldn't be able to step into the Thunder Source Mountain Range again.
Now that they had Lin Yun as their master, they still had a chance to resolve the hatred. Otherwise, the Thunder Source Crystal Beast would be the nightmare of the two families from now on.
"Don't be angry. The compensation they gave is enough for you to break through to the Great Accomplishment of Qi Creation Realm. I'll give you a Thunder Source Pill first," Lin Yun fed Little Lei the pill and soothed its emotions.
The auction house jointly owned by the two families was worth at least 500,000 Pure Origin Pills. Converted into resources, it was enough for Little Lei to eat for a long time.
Hearing Lin Yun's words, the anger in Little Lei's eyes immediately dissipated, replaced by brightness.
"Then, Young Master Lin Yun, if there's nothing else, we'll take our leave," Di Teng didn't dare to stay any longer and just wanted to leave this oppressive place quickly.
"Wait a moment!"
Lin Yun called out to the two men.
The two stopped, a little nervous. "Since the conflict has been resolved, we can talk about cooperation."
Lin Yun said with a smile.
He immediately explained the situation of the ore veins in Thunder Source Mountain.
The Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild had too few people, and they were only temporarily staying in Yang City. They still needed to expand, so naturally, they could only find other forces for time-consuming tasks like mining.
The Di and Liu families were quite suitable.
They had the strength to enter and exit the Thunder Source Mountain Range and were also very sensible. Lin Yun intended to absorb the two families into the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild.
To become strong and big, one must be inclusive.
Relying solely on the Lin family and the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild's small number of people couldn't support Lin Yun's career.
The two family heads of the Di and Liu families were initially a little hesitant, but after Lin Yun displayed the Qi Creation Realm puppet, the two immediately saw the business opportunity and readily agreed.
That same day, Lin Xiao, along with Bao Qiang and Bao Zhen, followed the Di and Liu families into the Thunder Source Mountain Range to mine.
After the two leopards were taught the Happy Cultivation Method by Lin Yun, their cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, catching up to Tiger Heroine and the others.
However, the two beasts disliked adventure and fighting and only wanted a peaceful life. Lin Yun had them follow the Lin family and become the Lin family's protective beasts.
The Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild now mainly focused on pills, puppets, and auctions.
With the Thunder Source Crystal Beast as a mount, Lin Yun's status in Yang City instantly rose, and the reputation of the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild also grew accordingly.
Soon, the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild's first auction in Yang City was successfully held.
Lin Yun's pills and Talisman Puppets were once again sought after, with countless people seeking pills.
He once again gathered the resources accumulated in the entire Yang City.
Half a month passed! The influence of the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild swept across the entire Great Wilderness County. Red Spirit refined pills day and night, and their wealth grew exponentially.
Lin Mu personally felt the terrifying speed of the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild's development and became increasingly confident in Lin Yun. At this rate, it wouldn't take long to surpass the four great clans in wealth.
During this time, Lin Yun was also cultivating and refining Talisman Puppets, making great progress and gaining a lot.
[Task: Cultivate Mountain Sea Seal to Perfection. Reward: Seal Technique Talent Intermediate +5. Completed, claim?]
[Task: Cultivate Devouring Yuan Thunder Body to Minor Accomplishment. Reward: One bag of Thunder Spirit Pills. Completed, claim?]
...
[Task: Break through to Great Accomplishment of Qi Creation Realm. Reward: Physique +2, Bone Structure +2. Completed, claim?]
[Task: Refine a High-Grade Talisman Puppet. Reward: Talisman Puppet Technique Proficiency reaches Divine Skill. Completed, claim?]
Lin Yun established and completed many tasks. While his strength steadily increased, his trump cards and personal foundation also continuously grew.
Because Lin Dong led his pet beasts to clear the demonic beasts around Thunder Source Mountain, the Di and Liu families' mining went much smoother. In half a month, they mined quite a bit.
Lin Yun had already refined five high-grade Talisman Puppets.
This was equivalent to the power of the Creation Realm. With the emergence of the high-grade Talisman Puppets, it meant that the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild led by Lin Yun possessed high-end combat power not inferior to the four great clans.
After witnessing the high-grade Talisman Puppets, the Di and Liu families worked even harder. This was because Lin Yun promised them that after they finished mining Thunder Source Mountain, he would give each family a high-grade Talisman Puppet.
Lin Mu was also completely convinced. The high-grade Talisman Puppets refined by Lin Yun were actually very difficult for him to deal with. He could defeat one, parry two, feel pressure from three, barely win against four, and couldn't defeat five.
One must know that Lin Mu was a peak Creation Realm expert. Even dealing with five early Creation Realm experts was not a problem, but facing five high-grade Talisman Puppets, he also felt powerless.
Most importantly, five high-grade Talisman Puppets were just the beginning. If he found enough materials, Lin Yun could refine even more, possibly thousands or tens of thousands.
And the four great clans combined had no more than a hundred Creation Realm experts!
Mining the Thunder Source Mountain vein was a long process. Even if martial artists above the Core Formation Realm went to mine, it would take more than a year.
Lin Yun and the others left Great Yang City and continued forward.
There were still three counties separating them from Great Wilderness County, and many cities were waiting for them to open branches.
With the high-grade Talisman Puppets, Lin Yun no longer needed to personally appear to establish prestige. Xia Wanjin and the others could establish the branches and start holding auctions to collect pills and materials as before.
Moreover, because Lin Mu saw a bright future, he also joined the commerce guild and worked together with Xia Wanjin and the others.
Lin Yun entrusted Red Spirit to Qing Tan's care, making her responsible for collecting pills.
Lin Yun basically didn't need to worry about the commerce guild.
He could have more time to cultivate! "It's been a while since I fought. The Demon Spirit Pills are also almost used up. Let's go into the forest to find Brother Ou."
Lin Yun looked at the map and calculated the time. Lin Dong should have reached the Mist Forest.
This was a dangerous place that ranked among the top in the Great Yan Dynasty, containing many demonic beasts that had reached the Creation Three Realms.
For Lin Dong, it was a challenging dungeon.
However, it perfectly suited Lin Yun's current needs. It was easy to farm, and there were many demonic beasts inside. Not only could it provide experience for him and his pet beasts, but it should also be enough for Lin Yun to collect quite a few demon spirits.
Tiger Heroine and Little Purple hadn't had any experience for a long time.
Also, Little Marten hadn't seen Little Purple for a while and probably missed her. Lin Yun couldn't break up the lovebirds.
Sorry for being late!
