Section 6 preparation complete, mysterious strong enemy

  "Huh? You actually recognized it right away." Old Hong Gun was slightly surprised, as Xue Sha was a rare material and rarely seen on the market. Even veteran demon tamers would often mistake Xue Sha for ordinary sea salt. Just as he was about to ask Chu Yun how she confirmed it, he saw her giggling and holding out her palm towards him.

  "Alright, you little kid surprised the old man once. Here!" Old Red Gun laughed and pulled out a bag of stone coins from his bosom, placing it in Chu Yun's hand.

  The bag was handed over, and Chu Yun's face changed slightly. There were at least 50 pieces of Di Sha Shi coins in the bag. He even guessed that this was the old man in front of him, who had worked hard to sell salt and earned his wages.

  A surge of emotion rose in his heart, but he didn't refuse and put the bag into his bosom. He was currently short of funds, and when he rose to prominence in the future, he would naturally repay this kindness many times over!

  "By the way, remember to go find Old Qiao and Old Fish King. They have good stuff there." Before leaving, Old Red Gun winked at Chu Yun and reminded him mysteriously.

  Chu Yun's heart was clear and his stomach was full, but he couldn't help but secretly laugh to himself. However, on his face, a hint of expectation still lingered, mixed with a sense of vagueness. He didn't intentionally try to deceive Lao Hong Qiang, but rather felt that reminiscing about old times had a unique flavor to it.

  Qiao Old Monkey and Old Fish King, and Old Red Gun are comrades-in-arms. After retiring from the team, Old Red Gun opened a sea salt farm and had a salt shop in the village. Qiao Old Monkey raised a copper bell palm forest to make a living by selling coconuts. Old Fish King became a fisherman, relying on his old and cunning sea spider to catch fish with its web, struggling to make ends meet.

  Chu Yun had known them since he was very young. Recently, he left Shu City and lived in a fishing village, also thanks to the care of the three elders.

  The Tongling coconut trees planted on the south side of the fishing village are considered a very ordinary tree demon on Shu Family Island. They have a gentle temperament and grow up to three zhang tall. Each tree only bears three niu ye guo fruits and fifteen tong ling guo fruits, never more or less. Among them, only the niu ye guo fruit is a marketable commodity, while the tong ling guo fruit has no use other than as a toy for children.

  He was, Old Monkey raised a large area of copper bell coconut trees, but lived in poverty. However, he still gave Chu Yun a full water bag of fresh coconut milk.

  Back to the east entrance of the village, the old fish king's humble hut. As in his previous life, Chu Yun obtained the precious pearl tears stored in a jade bottle. This material is extremely rare. It was harvested on a sea night when the stars and moon shone together, when the starlight clams and moonlight clams, two kinds of demonic beasts, floated on the surface of the sea, opened their shells, absorbed the starlight and moonlight, and the essence condensed in the clam flesh below.

  This essence, if it encounters cold and condenses into a bead, is a round white pearl. If it encounters heat, it dries up into pearl powder. Only in weather that is neither too hot nor too cold can this liquid drop be collected.

  It can be seen that a full jade bottle of pearl tears is how hard-won and precious it is. This material cannot even be bought in fishing villages or Shu's family castle.

  Chu Yun silently kept these favors in mind, bid farewell and returned to the fishing village market. Once again, she stepped into Tianbao Pavilion.

  "Ah, Master Chu is back!" The shop assistant had just stepped inside the door when he let out a loud whoop, his exaggerated expression radiating fiery enthusiasm. In three strides, he hastily scurried to Chu Yun's side.

  Chu Yun gazed at him for a moment, then smiled and said: "I still remember that you have iron thorn ropes, mountain-cutting knives, and fragrant birch wooden staffs here. They're only sold for 10 Ge Sa Shi coins, right?"

  The shop assistant nodded hastily. He had been thinking about the big business of Chu Yun in his heart, and after Chu Yun left, he didn't know how many times he scolded himself in his heart. He even slapped his own mouth and cursed himself for being short-sighted and losing sight of the bigger picture.

  Chu Yun looked at him and smiled.

  The shop assistant involuntarily rolled her throat and her palms were already sweating with tension for some reason.

  "Do you still sell band-aids here?"

  "Six pieces of stone money in a package, young master." The shop assistant replied cautiously.

  "Is there still tasteless powder?"

  "It's also 6 pieces of evil spirit stone coins in a pack."

  "Give me 5 packets of wound medicine, 5 packets of tasteless powder, a mountain-cutting knife, five zhang iron rattan rope and a fragrant birch wood stick. A total of 30 Earthly Demise Stone Coins, right?" Chu Yun smiled ambiguously.

  The shopkeeper was taken aback, meeting Chu Yun's teasing gaze. He had just thought of saying "it should be 70 stone coins", but suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and his heart began to beat faster. This is a test!

  "Yes, young master, you are right!" The shop assistant was too clever and thought that Chu Yun's anger had not dissipated.

  "Alright, then you pack it for me." Chu Yun threw out the pouch of 30 stone coins that he had received from Zixu in the morning.

  The shop assistant hesitated for a moment, knowing that if he really sold it like this, he would be making a huge loss. However, when his eyes landed on the bag on the counter, his pupils suddenly dilated and he exclaimed in his heart: "This bag is so finely made, with the character 'Shu' embroidered on it! It seems that this gentleman is a member of the Shu family! No mistake! No mistake at all!"

  He immediately made up his mind, carefully packing everything Chu Yun wanted. Chu Yun took them one by one, with a calm expression, slinging the iron hoop hemp rope over her shoulder. She had a mountain-cutting knife on her back and held a fragrant birch wood staff in her hand. She also tucked the wound medicine and tasteless powder into her bosom.

  The shop assistant looked more and more uneasy, finally unable to bear it, carefully probing: "Young master, do you want to buy anything else?"

  "No need." Chu Yun's face was calm.

  In an instant, the store clerk's body stiffened, almost rolling his eyeballs to the back of their sockets. He was so frustrated that he wanted to vomit blood and was about to shout when he suddenly caught sight of Chu Yun packing up her things, revealing a bag containing snow sand.

  "Snow Sasha! Am I seeing things?!" His heart skipped a beat.

  Immediately, he hastily asked: "Young master, are you selling this bag of sea salt?"

  Chu Yun let out a cold laugh, gazed deeply at him for a moment, then turned and walked away.

  "Master, hey, Master, wait up!"

  Chu Yun didn't even turn her head back, and the scene from that morning replayed itself. The shop assistant chased out of the store entrance, but where could Chu Yun's figure be found?

  He walked back to the store in a daze, suddenly his body shook, and he saw the person standing in front of him, exclaiming: "Ah, boss, I..."

  The proprietor of Tianbao Pavilion, a stout man with a cold glint in his beady eyes, sneered at the slender shop assistant. His face twitched as he growled: "Hmph, you're clever but misguided! Take ten men and chase after that kid, get rid of him quietly. I want that bag of Snow Sand, got it?"

  The shop assistant turned pale and stuttered: "Boss, that's someone from the Shu family!"

  "Shu's family, hey! Will there still be a Shu's family in a month?" The shopkeeper lowered his voice and smiled slyly. In an instant, the smile disappeared, and he glared at the store clerk, growling, "What are you waiting for?!"

  "Yes, yes!" The shopkeeper was so frightened that he hastily retreated. A moment later, he led ten strong men, inquiring passersby and quietly following the route that Chu Yun had just taken.

  Shu Jia Island is a city-level island, and Xianyan Fishing Village is located on the east coast of the island. In the center of the island, there is a dense and deep forest. There is an unnamed volcano in the forest. This is exactly where Chu Yun's destination is this time.

  He left the fishing village and headed west, where the scenery gradually became more lush and green. As it was approaching dusk, the sun set in the west. The sunset was as brilliant as fire or silk, and groups of birds returning to their nests flew over the Chu Clouds, elegantly circling in the sky, as if bidding a reluctant farewell to the heavens.

  Chu Yun raised his eyes to look over, and he could see the outline of that unnamed volcano. The deep, dark color stood steadily in the depths of the forest. In an instant, his eyes were like wisps of cloud, falling into memories of his past life.

  Incubating a demon beast egg requires choosing the right location. In his past life, Chu Yun mistakenly thought that his demon beast egg was a fire fox egg, so he naturally chose a place with abundant fire energy. After hearing about this unnamed volcano, he brought out the boldness of a newborn calf not fearing tigers and resolutely charged into this forest.

  His luck was good, and he stumbled upon the right timing to avoid many ferocious beasts in the forest. He successfully hatched the Heavenly Fox Egg on a nameless volcano. However, due to the egg's crack, too much spiritual energy leaked out, resulting in the born Heavenly Fox being underdeveloped. It looked just like an ordinary Fire Fox until much later when Chu Yun gradually discovered the truth. By then, it was already too late to make amends.

  In her past life, Madame Shu was ruthless and cruel. First, she used a bag of cursed stones to humiliate Chu Yun, provoking his anger. Then, taking advantage of the situation, she "righteously" disciplined Chu Yun, while the four demon-suppressing masters carefully "took care" of the Heavenly Fox Egg in Chu Yun's womb during the beating process. Only after the egg was covered in cracks did they stop.

  However, in this life, Chu Yun was reborn and calmly accepted the bag of heavenly stone coins. He successfully saw through Shu Furen's sinister plot. The Tian Hu Dan lying in his arms was intact, with its pre-heavenly vital energy completely unspilled, round and smooth.

  "It's really exciting!" Just thinking about hatching a perfect Celestial Fox egg, Chu Yun couldn't help but clench her fists tightly, her heart racing, and a strange glow bursting out of her eyes.

  "The regrets of my past life, I will make up for one by one! Not only will I hatch the Heavenly Fox, but I will also pass the three major assessments in the Coming-of-Age Ceremony with a majestic demeanor, and let Father no longer be disappointed!"

  The old father in Chu Yun's mouth is actually referring to his adoptive father, Shu Tianhao. Shu Tianhao has raised him with kindness and taken good care of him. Chu Yun also respects and loves him deeply.

  In fact, defeating Shu Da and Shu Er in a fair and square manner has even more significance than that.

  Winning first place in the assessment will result in being recommended and enrolled in Tian Ge Academy.

  Tian Ge Shu Yuan is the most renowned institution in this sea area, a sacred place for cultivating demon-suppressing masters. Every year, they would dispatch instructors to each island to recruit recommended youngsters to enroll.

  In her previous life, Chu Yun had always yearned for the Tian Ge Shu Yuan, but after being secretly plotted against by Lady Shi, she could only watch as her dreams shattered. From then on, she was forced to flee and hide among the lower classes, struggling to survive, wasting many precious years.

  This life!

  We can't afford to lose at the starting line of life.

  Chu Yun clenched his fists tightly and entered the Tian Ge Academy, which had a huge impact on his great plan.

  Reborn, after accepting this reality, Chu Yun had many thoughts in his heart. Brewing up a lot of ambition. This is human nature.

  What he needs to do now is seize this opportunity, make up for the regrets of his past life and achieve his ambitions in this life.

  "A fine young man, when roaming the world, fighting all heroes, and seeing all the wonders of the world! I have twenty years of memories, and the overall situation is clear in my mind. Such a good opportunity must not be missed!" His heart was surging, but his footsteps did not stop, gradually going deeper into the forest.

  A moment later, following the trail, the shopkeeper and ten burly men with fierce eyes stood at the edge of the dense forest.

  "Damn it! That kid can really run, entering the forest so late to look for death?" The shopkeeper looked at the dark and gloomy forest in front of him and suddenly cursed weakly.

  "What a weirdo, what is this little rabbit doing here?" A cold voice sounded in the shop assistant's ear.

  The one who made the sound was a triangular-eyed man with a sinister and venomous temperament. He was tall and thin, with long legs exposed, and had a green leather pouch tied around his waist. At this moment, he stood aside, gazing at the forest, as if lost in thought.

  "Mind your own business! And hurry up, if you run to the depths of the forest it'll be troublesome." A big-bearded man with a ferocious appearance, carrying a giant ghost-headed knife on his back and a black leather pouch at his waist, shouted loudly.

  The shopkeeper didn't dare to say more, and with a frightened glance at the two of them. Seeing the big bearded man staring over, he immediately smiled fawningly. These two people were Imperial Demon Masters, their combat strength far surpassing everyone else's; if it weren't for the boss's orders, they wouldn't have been able to command them.

  "There are new footprints here." Soon, someone else discovered Chu Yun's whereabouts again.

  "Let's go." The shopkeeper also wanted to get rid of Chu Yun as soon as possible, and took the lead, walking towards the forest. Following closely behind was the silent Sanjiao Yan, and the grumbling Dahuzi. Finally, there were eight other sturdy men.

  Soon, the figures of everyone gradually disappeared in the forest.
