#52 - Primary Talisman Talent
Lin Xia's interest was immediately piqued by the tall and imposing structure of the building.
As the two stepped through the main entrance, they found themselves in an expansive hall, filled with numerous counters displaying a dazzling array of items.
Medicinal herbs, pills, weapons, demon crystals, martial arts techniques… a vast and varied assortment.
Everywhere they looked, various items filled their vision, and even the simplest thing seemed extraordinary.
Lin Xia immediately headed towards the counters, but upon seeing the prices, which were all denominated in Yang Yuan Stones, starting at ten stones or more, she couldn't help but sigh.
"So expensive!"
Although the Lin family had a Yang Yuan Stone mine, it had only just begun to be exploited and couldn't withstand such extravagance.
"Get out of the way!"
Suddenly, a loud voice shattered the hall's commotion.
Lin Yun and Lin Xia were also drawn to the sound.
Looking up, they saw a man in brocade robes striking Lin Dong from behind with a palm at one of the counters.
Lin Dong turned, and powerful Yuan Power rapidly surged to his fist, which he then used to counter with a punch, colliding with the man's palm wind.
"Bang!"
The force of the impact sent the man in brocade robes staggering backward.
"It's Lin Dong, we need to go over there." Lin Yun immediately rushed over… How dare they bully his little brother.
Humph, only he was allowed to bully Lin Dong!
As Lin Yun ran towards Lin Dong, another middle-aged man attacked Lin Dong, releasing his Yuan Power, revealing his Heavenly Yuan Realm strength. His large hand, like an eagle's claw, descended upon Lin Dong's head.
Lin Dong's expression changed, and he quickly formed hand seals, preparing to use the Odd Door Seal.
Suddenly, a tall figure rushed over and stood in front of him.
Lin Yun pointed out a finger, striking the other man's palm. Instantly, a bloody hole appeared in the man's hand.
The Pure Yuan Finger, having reached perfection, possessed terrifying destructive power. Few in the same realm could withstand Lin Yun's finger, and this middle-aged man was only at the early stage of the Heavenly Yuan Realm.
"Ah!"
The middle-aged man screamed, blood dripping from his palm.
The three of them looked at Lin Yun in surprise, not expecting this young man to be at the Heavenly Yuan Realm, and with such strength.
"Fighting is prohibited in the Treasure Pavilion. Don't you know the rules?"
An old man's voice echoed, and everyone looked over to see a gray-robed elder, who had appeared behind Lin Dong unnoticed.
"Master Yan." The brocade-robed man quickly bowed.
Beside him was a young woman in a light red dress, who also respectfully said, "Master Yan, Qingxu apologizes for her discourtesy, and hopes for your forgiveness."
As for the middle-aged man who had been injured by Lin Yun, he could only endure the pain and stand behind the brocade-robed man.
The person called Master Yan looked at Lin Yun with a hint of curiosity.
It was rare to see someone reach the Heavenly Yuan Realm at such a young age.
Lin Yun quickly explained, "This is our first time here, and we truly didn't know the rules. Besides, they were the ones who attacked first."
"Yes, I saw it, it's not your fault." Master Yan nodded, then turned his gaze to Lin Dong, and said kindly,
"Young man, are you interested in becoming a Spiritual Symbol Master?"
"Spiritual Symbol Master?!"
Lin Dong was stunned, unsure of what to do, and looked at Lin Yun.
They had heard Lin Xia talk about Spiritual Symbol Masters on their way here, a powerful and rare profession with a noble status.
The surrounding people looked at Lin Dong in amazement, all aware of Master Yan's status and position in Yan City. Countless people wanted to learn the Dao of Spiritual Symbols from him but had no opportunity.
Yet now, he was extending an olive branch to a young man.
"Spiritual Symbol Masters are powerful. If you want to learn, give it a try." Lin Yun encouraged Lin Dong.
In the original story, Lin Dong didn't follow Master Yan to learn the Dao of Spiritual Symbols, mainly because he was worried about exposing the Stone Talisman in his palm.
However, his concerns were unnecessary. The Stone Talisman was one of the top divine objects, and Master Yan had probably never even heard of it, let alone recognized it.
"Learn it, Lin Dong, such a good opportunity, why wouldn't you learn? If you learn it, our Lin family will have a Spiritual Symbol Master." Seeing Lin Dong's hesitation, Lin Xia also came over, excitedly patting Lin Dong's back. From the reactions of the people around them, she could tell that Master Yan was no ordinary person.
Lin Xia, with her social butterfly tendencies, boldly said,
"Master Yan, I'm very interested in Spiritual Symbol Masters. Look at me, can I learn?"
"You?" Master Yan smiled, then his gaze sharpened, and a surge of spiritual power was released, enveloping Lin Xia.
"Oh, you actually have some spiritual talent."
Master Yan was slightly surprised, not expecting Lin Xia to have some spiritual talent, but it was far inferior to Lin Dong's.
People with spiritual talent were rare, one in ten thousand.
Of these three people who suddenly appeared, two of them possessed spiritual talent.
He couldn't help but look at Lin Yun, his spiritual power probing towards Lin Yun.
Hmm?
Lin Yun felt a spiritual power surging towards his brow, and he immediately mobilized the spiritual power in his mind, instinctively wanting to block this external force.
"Eh!" Master Yan's expression changed, his pupils shaking… Such powerful spiritual power, already comparable to a One-Seal Spiritual Symbol Master.
He stared at Lin Yun with burning eyes, "Have you cultivated spiritual power before?"

"Lin Yun doesn't even know what a Spiritual Symbol Master is, how could he have cultivated spiritual power? Master, are you mistaken?" Before Lin Yun could answer, the social butterfly Lin Xia had already spoken for him.
She had just told Lin Yun and Lin Dong about Spiritual Symbol Masters this morning, and believed she knew more than they did.
Hearing this, Master Yan's pupils instantly lit up, and he muttered in shock,
"Genius, an unparalleled genius!"
His gaze towards Lin Yun was as if he were looking at a priceless treasure.
Lin Yun was speechless, was it really necessary to be this dramatic!
Although he felt that his spiritual talent must be very high, he didn't expect Master Yan's reaction to be so exaggerated.
Such a fiery gaze definitely meant he wanted to take him as a disciple.
Lin Yun had some thoughts about becoming Master Yan's disciple, after all, Master Yan was the strongest Spiritual Symbol Master they could come into contact with in the early stages.
And also a Spiritual Symbol Master with a good character and reputation.
As the saying goes, "The master leads you through the door, and cultivation depends on the individual", this leading through the door was very important.
He was currently completely ignorant of the Dao of Spiritual Symbols, and having someone to open the door was crucial.
Although Lin Dong didn't become Master Yan's disciple in the original story, Master Yan still had the grace of teaching Lin Dong, he was the one who opened the door to the world of Spiritual Symbols for Lin Dong.
"Try the mission first."
[Mission: Become Master Yan's disciple. Reward: Spirit +2, Comprehension +2, Beginner Spiritual Symbol Talent.]
"Such a rich reward." Lin Yun was secretly shocked.
Becoming Master Yan's disciple was even more worthwhile.
"Are you willing to become a Spiritual Symbol Master? As long as you are willing, I, the old man, will personally teach you." Master Yan looked at Lin Yun with a face full of excitement and anticipation.
Seeing the noble Master Yan react in such a way, the surrounding people were stunned.
Especially the brocade-robed young master and the middle-aged man who had been injured by Lin Yun.
Originally, the two of them still resented Lin Yun, thinking of finding a chance to retaliate later.
But now, seeing Master Yan's attitude, they were thinking about how to obtain Lin Yun's forgiveness, so as not to be resented by the other party.
Master Yan's position in Yan City was, to some extent, no weaker than the City Lord of Yan City!
Not to mention him, even his father wouldn't dare to offend him.
"Okay." Lin Yun nodded reservedly.
Hearing this, Master Yan's mood instantly became beautiful, his old face smiling like a chrysanthemum, "The three of you, follow me."
Just as he took two steps, Master Yan turned his head to look at the brocade-robed young master and the red-skirted girl, his eyes sharp, "By the way, what happened just now was your fault first, let's just leave it at that, don't cause any more trouble, understand?"
"Understood, understood!" The brocade-robed man immediately bowed.
The red-skirted girl also quickly said, "Qingxu understands."
Under the gazes of the crowd, the three of Lin Yun followed Master Yan into the inner pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion.
