Chapter 71: Its Uses Are Already Known

"I understand!" Yang Xin nodded, smiling.

"Then I'll head back first!" Nie Li said to Yang Xin. After bidding her farewell, he slipped out through a side door.

The price of that Nightmare Demon Pot had reached an astonishing 120 million. An item like that was bound to attract envy and trouble. Given Nie Li's current strength, if he were targeted, he might not have the power to defend such a treasure. Fortunately, no one knew the Nightmare Demon Pot was in his possession. Everyone assumed it was still with Yang Xin, and ordinary people wouldn't dare plot against her. After all, Yang Xin's status in the entire City of Radiance was now truly significant!

Nie Li departed quietly and, along with Nie Hai and Nie En, took a carriage back to the Tianhen Family.

"This matter about the Nightmare Demon Pot must not be told to anyone!" Nie Li said in a low, serious voice, looking at Nie Hai and Nie En.

"Of course!" Nie Hai and Nie En nodded hurriedly. They understood the gravity of the situation. If others found out that the mysterious jade pot was in Nie Li's hands, it could attract trouble that even the Tianhen Family might not be able to handle.

Nie Li's interests were now the Tianhen Family's interests!

"Are we heading back to the family estate now?" Nie Hai asked.

"No!" Nie Li shook his head. "I'm going to the Mystic Spirit Commerce Association to buy a Demon Spirit."

"Buy a Demon Spirit? You've reached Silver Grade?" Nie En suddenly remembered something and asked.

Nie Li was silent for a moment, then nodded. It seemed there was no longer any need to hide his level from Nie Hai and Nie En.

Upon receiving Nie Li's confirmation, Nie Hai and Nie En stared at him in shock, drawing in a sharp breath. They both remembered that just a few months ago, Nie Li hadn't even reached Bronze One Star. To achieve Silver Grade so quickly? A thirteen-year-old Silver Demon Spirit Master—my heavens, that was an absolute prodigy, someone who appeared only a handful of times in the entire history of the City of Radiance!

"The first Demon Spirit is crucial! Whatever Demon Spirit you want, we can help you evaluate options!" Nie Hai said solemnly. The Demon Spirits sold by the Mystic Spirit Commerce Association were indeed the best in the northern part of the City of Radiance. Going there should yield a good result.

What they didn't know was that Nie Li had already fused with a Shadow Demon Spirit. What he was going for this time was no ordinary Demon Spirit. What advice could Nie Hai possibly give him?

"I have my own plan," Nie Li said, shaking his head.

Nie Hai and Nie En exchanged a glance and both smiled wryly. They had completely forgotten that this thirteen-year-old boy before them was no ordinary person—he was a monster. They had absolutely no influence over any of Nie Li's decisions!

The carriage sped forward rapidly. Nie Li had Nie Hai confirm that no one was following them before relaxing slightly. He was still somewhat worried about being targeted, whether by the Sacred Family or the Dark Guild—their power was simply too vast. Fortunately, for the moment, neither the Dark Guild nor the Sacred Family should be paying attention to him. How could those superpowers care about a single youth? By the time they started noticing his existence, Nie Li would have already grown to a point where even they couldn't handle him!

Mystic Spirit Commerce Association. VIP Room.

After Nie Li and the others revealed their identities, the staff immediately ushered them into a secret VIP chamber. The person receiving them was a white-haired, white-bearded old man—the chief steward of the association, named Shao Mingfeng.

As the head of the Mystic Spirit Commerce Association, Shao Mingfeng's information network was very well-informed. News of the Tianhen Family's generous spending at the Red Moon Auction House had quickly reached his ears, so the Tianhen Family was already listed as an important client.

"Please, have some tea," Shao Mingfeng said with a genial smile, making a welcoming gesture.

"Thank you, Steward Shao," Nie Hai smiled faintly. "I'm here to purchase a Demon Spirit for my grandnephew."
