[Task: Become Master Yan's disciple. Reward: Spirit +2, Comprehension +2, Elementary Symbol Dao Talent. Completed, claim?]
"Claim!"
[Spirit 19 (Outstanding) -> Spirit 21 (One in a Hundred)]
[Comprehension 17 (Outstanding) -> Comprehension 19 (Outstanding)]
Lin Yun and the other two successfully became Master Yan's disciples.
Originally, Lin Xia's talent wasn't enough for Master Yan to take her as a disciple, but her two younger brothers were simply too outstanding.
Master Yan learned about Lin Yun and the other two's situation and was very happy to know they were all from the Lin Clan of Qingyang Town.
Disciples from small families with talent like this were excellent.
Once cultivated, they would become his direct lineage.
"This spirit secret manual can help you cultivate into Symbol Masters."
Master Yan took out a book from his Cosmos Sack.
"Divine Movement Chapter!"
Lin Xia and Lin Dong looked over curiously.
"Now I will impart this secret manual to you."
Master Yan was clearly eager to nurture talent. As soon as he took in Lin Yun and Lin Dong, these two geniuses, he couldn't wait to teach them.
"Spirit divides into Yin and Yang, the movement of spirit is the beginning of life..."
[Task: Listen to Master Yan explain the Divine Movement Chapter. Reward: Divine Movement Chapter Beginner Understanding.]
Lin Yun created the task and was in a great mood when he saw the direct beginner understanding reward.
However, the Divine Movement Chapter only had three layers, the most basic method for cultivating spiritual energy. Even after cultivating it completely, one's spiritual energy could only reach the level of a One Seal Symbol Master.
Soon, Master Yan finished explaining it once. Lin Xia was completely lost, Lin Dong gained some insights, and Lin Yun had already begun attempting to cultivate.
[Task: Cultivate the first layer of the Divine Movement Chapter 1 time. Reward: Divine Movement Chapter First Layer Beginner.]
Lin Yun had cultivated the Beast Taming Art before. Although the Beast Taming Art didn't directly cultivate spiritual energy, it gave Lin Yun a certain foundation in spiritual energy, so it was much easier to mobilize spiritual energy according to the Divine Movement Chapter now.
After cultivating it once, Lin Yun successfully reached the beginner level.
The next second! Lin Yun's spiritual energy extended outwards, spreading towards the entire Curiosity Shop.
"He actually learned it after cultivating it once." Master Yan's face stiffened slightly.
Back then, it had taken him a few years.
Was this the difference between a genius and a mediocre person?
"Spiritual energy, is this spiritual energy!"
While Master Yan was surprised by Lin Yun, Lin Dong's surprised voice came, and he also successfully released his spiritual energy outwards.
This proved that Lin Dong had also reached the beginner level in cultivating the Divine Movement Chapter.
"What are you talking about?"
Lin Xia looked bewildered.
Seeing their excited expressions, she didn't understand.
"It's nothing, you continue to comprehend." Master Yan told her to continue reading the book.
It was better not to discourage her.
This was something that normal people simply couldn't do. The disciples he had taken before had all taken at least a year to successfully reach the beginner level.
The cultivation of spiritual energy was too dependent on talent. If one didn't have talent, they couldn't even sense what spiritual energy was. Even someone with a bit of talent like Lin Xia would need a long time of cultivation to sense spiritual energy.
Lin Yun stopped cultivating and said, "Right, Master, our family still has matters to attend to. We will be returning to Qingyang Town tomorrow."
Master Yan nodded, agreeing to let Lin Yun and the others handle their family affairs. Lin Yun and the others had already told him the basic situation of the Lin Clan before, and the Lin Clan was currently in need of Lin Yun and the others.
"Wait for me!"
Master Yan walked out the door and returned shortly after.
He had two more Cosmos Sacks in his hands.
"Consider this my welcoming gift as your master. Inside are some treasures I personally crafted and some pills that increase spiritual energy cultivation."
"Your talents are very good, and you don't need much guidance from me for now. After you return, remember not to slack off in your cultivation. Once you have cultivated all three layers of the Divine Movement Chapter, I will teach you the method of condensing seals."
"As for Lin Xia, her talent is not as good as yours. She needs to cultivate with a calm mind, so let her stay in Flame City. I will take her to the Symbol Master Association, where it is suitable for cultivating spiritual energy, and there are many fellow disciples who can guide her."
Saying this, Master Yan took out a special wooden token from his own Cosmos Sack and gave it to Lin Yun. "This is my Symbol Master token. Keep it with you. If you encounter any difficulties, you can present this token at the Symbol Master Association and the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild, and they will help you."
"Thank you, Master!" Lin Yun quickly took it.
"Remember to tell my father and grandfather when you go back not to worry. I will go find them after I cultivate into a Symbol Master." Lin Xia patted Lin Yun's shoulder confidently.
She wasn't comparing herself to Lin Yun and the other now. She was already very happy to be taken as a disciple by Master Yan.
...
Lin Yun and the other person left the Curiosity Shop.
"Brother Lin Yun, aren't you going to ask why I got into a conflict with those two?" Lin Dong asked curiously.
From beginning to end, Lin Yun hadn't asked him about what happened earlier.
"No need to ask, I understand you. You must be right." Lin Yun smiled... I know the plot, I don't want to hear you tell it again.
"Thank you, Brother Lin Yun!"
Lin Dong looked at Lin Yun gratefully. This older brother always made him feel safe.
He touched the Stone Talisman in his palm. It's a good thing Brother Lin Yun didn't press the matter. Otherwise, if he knew I got into a conflict with someone because of a medicinal pill, I'd have to make up another excuse for the origin of the pill.
But I don't want to lie to Brother Lin Yun!
And I don't want to expose my secret.
The two returned to the inn and told Lin Xiao about their experiences today.
"You actually gained Master Yan's favor." Lin Xiao was immediately surprised. He knew how noble Master Yan's status was.
"Master Yan is a Four Seal Symbol Master, the president of the Symbol Master Association, and the highest esteemed elder of the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild."
"Right, let's see what kind of apprenticeship gift Master Yan gave you?"
The two took out their Cosmos Sacks.
"As expected of Master Yan, just casually giving out Cosmos Sacks."
Lin Yun and the other person took out the items from their Cosmos Sacks.
Their items were similar: a special black small sword with many runes engraved on it, and two bottles of medicinal pills.
"Mystic Dark Sword!"
Lin Yun murmured when he saw the name on the small sword.
"How do you use such a small sword?" Lin Xiao curiously examined the slender, sharp black small sword that was only the length of a forearm.
"This is a Symbol Master's weapon, driven by mental energy."
Lin Yun explained. The next second, he released his mental energy, covering the Mystic Dark Sword.
Whoosh! The Mystic Dark Sword flew up.
The material of the sword was very special, allowing mental energy to integrate into it, easily lifting and manipulating it.
Lin Dong also imitated Lin Yun, releasing his mental energy and manipulating his Mystic Dark Sword to fly up.
"As expected of a Symbol Master, such powerful techniques." Lin Xiao sighed. A Symbol Master's techniques were hard to guard against.
Just this technique of manipulating a flying sword was something Earthly Yuan Realm experts couldn't block, and even some Heavenly Yuan Realm experts would find it difficult to deal with.
"Our Lin Clan also has Symbol Masters now."
...
Early the next morning! The Lin Clan's team, led by Lin Xiao, returned to Qingyang Town.
Because they had sold the ironwood and Lin Dong and Lin Yun had Cosmos Sacks,
The journey back was much easier! It went smoothly, and they returned to Ironwood Manor in just half a day.
