Lin Xiao also told Lin Zhentian about the excuse that Lin Yi had made up about having a mysterious master.
"Well then, I will teach Chun Yuan to you. Also, if you need anything, just say so. As long as the Lin family has it, we will never keep it to ourselves," Lin Zhentian said with a smile, stroking his beard.
The Pure Yuan Finger technique he mentioned is the only fourth-grade martial art in the Lin family.
Hearing Lin Zhentian's words, everyone was shocked. It was clear that he intended to cultivate Lin Yi as the most precious core seed.
Lin Xia and Lin Hong looked at Lin Yi with envy in their eyes.
However, Lin Yi's recent achievements certainly deserve this treatment!
"Thank you, Grandpa," Lin Yi said, without refusing.
Lin Zhentian smiled and waved his hand, then discussed some family matters with Lincoln and the others before dismissing them.
……
After returning to his room, Lin Yi sat cross-legged on the bed. With a slight thought, he took out the first-class secret manual "Tianxuan Gong" from his Qiankun Ring, which was a reward from the system!
Lin Yi quickly scanned the contents of the Heavenly Profound Technique, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The so-called martial arts manuals are actually a way of guiding and refining one's Yuan energy.
For example, the Lin family's Qingyuan Gong can open up four hidden meridians.
These four meridians extend directly to the skin. When cultivating, as long as the cultivation technique is activated, one can absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth through these four meridians.
Some second-rate martial arts manuals can open up more than a dozen meridians!
A top-tier secret technique can open up at least dozens of meridians!
The Heavenly Profound Technique, a reward from the system, is actually able to open up the ninety-nine hidden meridians in the human body!
Lin Yi vaguely remembered that in the original novel, even the top-tier cultivation technique Little Marten used, the Great Sun Thunder Body, could only open up more than forty meridians!
The more meridians that are opened, the faster one can absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth in the later stages.
This Heavenly Profound Technique is definitely one of the most top-tier martial arts techniques in the world!
"I wonder if the stone talisman can further enhance this manual?"
Lin Yi stroked the manual in his hand, then suddenly thought of something, and a look of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi slowly closed his eyes, and with a thought, he appeared in the spiritual space within the stone talisman.
This space now contains three luminous figures: Tongbei Fist, Bahuang Palm, and Qimen Seal.
After Lin Yi entered the mental space, the space behind the third beam of light gradually began to distort.
However, this time the light and shadow are depicted sitting cross-legged.
Shortly after the appearance of this light and shadow, its body gradually became somewhat transparent, and countless rays of light, like meridians, emerged from its body.
Amidst the light and shadow, golden lines began to surge, outlining extremely subtle and mysterious meridian pathways within the human body.
Under the outline of those golden threads, newly formed meridians gradually came into Lin Yi's view, one, two... ninety-nine...
When the ninety-ninth meridian route was simulated, Lin Yi's eyes suddenly narrowed, staring intently at the golden line that was beginning to slow down as it approached.
Under Lin Yi's gaze, the golden thread, which had slowed down, slowly advanced again, and finally slid into an unfamiliar meridian trajectory that had not appeared in the original records of the Heavenly Profound Technique.
Article 100!
Clearly, this stone talisman successfully perfected the Heavenly Profound Technique.
However, it only perfected a new meridian route, and then came to a complete standstill.
Lin Yi was already very satisfied with this.
Because of this extra meridian, his cultivation speed can almost double!
With a joyful heart, Lin Yi firmly memorized the profound and obscure meridian route before exiting the mental space.
Next, Lin Yi used the stone talisman to refine all five spiritual herbs he had exchanged for that day into pills.
Setting aside the medicinal pills for later use, Lin Yi began cultivating the Heavenly Profound Technique, guiding his internal energy to locate a hidden meridian within his body and attempting to open it.
When Lin Yi's internal energy was exhausted, he had only managed to open one-tenth of the first meridian!
Feeling the depletion of his Yuan energy in his dantian, Lin Yi immediately swallowed a pill without hesitation and continued his sprint...
After Lin Yi took two pills in succession, he finally succeeded in opening up his first meridian.
"These dozen or so pills won't last much longer..."
After opening the first meridian, Lin Yi stopped for a moment, stretched, and shook his head helplessly.
"After we finish using this batch of pills, I'll head to Yan City. I wonder if these fourth-grade spiritual medicine pills will last a little longer..."
Muttering to himself, Lin Yi put the Heavenly Profound Technique manual and the remaining pills into his Qiankun Ring, washed up quickly, and then went to rest.
The next day, Lin Zhentian took the initiative to find Lin Yi and personally taught him the Lin family's only fourth-grade martial art, the Pure Yuan Finger, and also gave him three third-grade spiritual herbs.
In the days that followed, Lin Yi once again immersed himself in cultivation.
The rate at which these elixirs and pills are consumed is also extremely alarming.
In just half a month, all the spiritual medicines and pills were used up!
In the past two weeks, Lin Yi's cultivation progress has been quite remarkable, and he has successfully opened up fifteen hidden meridians!
As far as Lin Yi knew, it took Lin Xiao three months to open up the four meridians recorded in the Qingyuan Gong, while Lin Zhentian took half a year!
After exhausting his spiritual medicine pills, Lin Yi didn't tell anyone. He disguised himself and mingled with a merchant caravan, secretly heading towards Yan City.
After entering Yan City, Lin Yi casually inquired about the location and headed straight for the city center. Before long, he arrived in front of an exceptionally magnificent and imposing pavilion.
"The Pavilion of Curious Things".
Looking at the three large characters on the pavilion that exuded an ancient charm, a light flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and he stepped inside.
Chapter 16 Master Yan, Refining Spirit Technique!
As soon as Lin Yi stepped through the gate, a spacious hall appeared before him.
The hall is filled with numerous counters, each displaying a dazzling array of items.
Elixirs, pills, weapons, demon crystals, martial arts techniques, and so on, are just a few examples.
"Young master, is there anything you need?"
As Lin Yi was examining the many items in the display case, a young servant in blue robes approached him with a beaming smile.
"Do you sell Qiankun bags here?" Lin Yi asked casually.
"Yes, we have Qiankun Bags in three grades: low, medium, and high. Which grade do you need?"
When Lin Yi asked, the servant's face lit up with a smile as he introduced the situation.
"A low-grade one is enough. How much is it?" Lin Yi was only buying the Qiankun Bag to avoid attracting attention, so naturally he bought a cheap one.
"A low-grade Qiankun bag, forty-eight Yang Yuan stones," the young man in blue replied with a smile, taking a Qiankun bag from the counter as he spoke.
"The low-grade Qiankun bag is made of Qiankun wood and inscribed with runes by a second-level talisman master. Don't be fooled by its small size; it can hold something as big as a counter. Carrying it with you can save you a lot of trouble."
"Hmm," Lin Yi replied casually, then said, "Can't you make it a little cheaper? Also, can I buy it with Yang Yuan Pills?"
Yang Yuan Stones are quite large, and Lin Yi doesn't have a Qiankun Bag on him. If he were to take out forty-eight Yang Yuan Stones, it would be too conspicuous.
The servant in blue said, "Using Yang Yuan Pills is certainly possible, but the price is fixed and cannot be reduced. I'm truly sorry."
"Never mind," Lin Yi shook his head slightly, reached into his robes, and actually took out five Yang Yuan Pills from his Qiankun Ring, handing them to the servant in blue.
The young servant in green took the Yang Yuan Pill, retrieved two Yang Yuan Stones from behind the counter, placed them in his Qiankun bag, and then handed the bag to Lin Yi, smiling as he said:
"Young master, please keep your Qiankun bag safe. Also, the two Yang Yuan Stones that you were looking for are already in your Qiankun bag."
Lin Yi nodded slightly, reached out and took the Qiankun bag, and casually examined it.
Soon, his gaze was drawn to a peculiar rune on the left side of the Qiankun bag.
As Lin Yi stared at the rune, his vision seemed to suddenly become somewhat blurry, and while the surrounding vision became blurred, the rune hidden on the Qiankun bag became clearer and clearer.
In this strange state, a special fluctuation suddenly emanated from Lin Yi's mind—it was mental energy!
An invisible spiritual force seeped out from the brain, and finally began to slowly outline itself in front of Lin Yi.
Although the outline was very blurry, it was extremely similar to the complex runes on the Qiankun Bag.
However, the outline was not yet complete. When the invisible runes in front of Lin Yi were half-formed, a sharp pain shot through his mind. He then suddenly came back to his senses, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Lin Yi understood what was going on, but he wasn't flustered. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and prepared to turn around and leave the Strange Treasures Pavilion.
In a corner of the hall of the Curious Treasures Pavilion, sat a drowsy old man in gray clothes. His surroundings were quite messy, but no one dared to disturb him.
Suddenly, the old man opened his tightly closed eyes, his gaze shifting and freezing on Lin Yi. A deep look of surprise flashed in his eyes as he murmured, "Such strong mental talent!"
Seeing that Lin Yi was about to leave, the old man in gray suddenly blocked Lin Yi's path, and at the same time extended a withered finger and lightly touched Lin Yi's brow.
Upon seeing the gray-robed old man's actions, Lin Yi instinctively tried to dodge, only to find that he had lost control of his body at that moment.
Just then, the system's childish voice rang in Lin Yi's mind once again.
[Ding! A talisman master has been detected approaching the host. This is the host's first encounter with the talisman master profession. Reward: Spiritual Power Cultivation Manual "Refining Spirit Technique"!]
There are rewards for this?
Hearing the system's reward notification, Lin Yi was slightly moved and quite surprised.
At this moment, the old man's finger stopped at Lin Yi's brow, and then he clearly felt the unusually lively and restless spiritual power in the latter's mind. Immediately, a look of surprise appeared on the old man's usually stern face.
"Little one, are you interested in becoming a talisman master?"
The old man in gray's words shocked everyone in the hall of the Strange Treasures Pavilion.
Many regulars at this building of strange artifacts know the identity of the gray-robed old man: Yan Xuan, the president of the Flame City Talisman Master Association, who is respectfully called Master Yan and holds a pivotal position in Flame City!
Unexpectedly, Master Yan became interested in such an unremarkable young man.
"I wonder what the old gentleman means?" Lin Yi cupped his hands in greeting to Yan Xuan and asked.
Yan Xuan chuckled and said, "I am Yan Xuan, the president of the Yan City Talisman Master Association. If you are interested in the art of talisman mastery, you can follow me and learn from me."
"Thank you for your kindness, Master Yan, but I already have a master," Lin Yi said, his mind racing, as he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yan Xuan.
Lin Yi had a good impression of Yan Xuan, but there was no need for him to become Yan Xuan's disciple.
