"First Seal Talisman Master!"

Feeling the powerful Mental Power within his Mud Pill Palace, Lin Langtian suddenly slapped the bed and sprang to his feet.

With a thought, a Golden Mirror flew from his mouth. It then descended beneath Lin Langtian's feet like a flying disc.

Then, supported by that mirror, Lin Langtian's body actually steadied itself in midair!

Riding a mirror through the air!

Once the Natal Spirit Talisman had condensed, Lin Langtian could manipulate his Mental Power to such an extent without relying on Yuan Power!

Lin Langtian cautiously controlled the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror beneath his feet as it carried him floating back and forth around the room for a while.

Though he had only just become a Symbol Master, as a Form Creation Realm expert, he was no stranger to flight. He quickly grasped the technique, and his use of Mental Power grew increasingly adept.

Lin Langtian rode the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror around the room for a while. Then, with another thought, it turned into a streak of golden light and shot into his mouth.

His body also landed lightly on the ground.

"This is truly not bad, though it consumes quite a bit of Mental Power..."

Lin Langtian clapped his hands, feeling both admiration and slight regret.

If his Mental Power were stronger, perhaps he really could fly through the skies with Mental Power alone, just like those legendary experts.

However, Lin Langtian only lingered on that regret for a moment before composing himself.

After all, he had become a Symbol Master less than a few days ago. Given some more time, his Mental Power would surely catch up to his Yuan Power cultivation.

After putting away the Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror, Lin Langtian examined the Natal Spirit Talisman within his Mud Pill Palace.

At this moment, the Natal Spirit Talisman floated within it. However, the talisman seal appeared far too blurry and dim. Lin Langtian would still need to temper it over a long period before the Natal Spirit Talisman could truly solidify.

"First Seal..."

Gazing at the Natal Spirit Talisman within his Mud Pill Palace, Lin Langtian smiled faintly.

From this moment onward, he could be considered an official First Seal Talisman Master.

Although Lin Langtian had little interest in engraving armor or weapons, he cared greatly about the wondrous uses of Mental Power.

After all, on the Heavenly Profound Continent, once Mental Power was cultivated to profound heights, it would be no weaker than some experts who cultivated Yuan Power. Turning rivers and seas upside down would be no more than a thought.

Moreover, there was the Essence Yuan Power formed by merging Mental Power with Yuan Power, which was even stronger than energy of a single attribute.

However, compared with tangible Yuan Power, Mental Power seemed far more intangible and elusive. Without some talent in this regard, it would likely be difficult to make any progress.

Talent was the most important thing in cultivating Mental Power. That was why the original Lin Langtian, as well as most geniuses of the Great Yan Empire, specialized in Yuan Power cultivation.

Yet after forming a Bloodline Link with Spirit Aunt, Lin Langtian could sense that his talent was gradually improving. Thus, not only was he now suited to cultivating Mental Power, but it also did not hinder his Yuan Power cultivation.

Looking at the Black Vortex Talisman Seal in his Mud Pill Palace, Lin Langtian could not help thinking of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol again.

The Devouring Ancestral Symbol was the most mysterious among the Eight Great Ancestral Symbols. Its first wielder had been the Lord of Devouring, who controlled Devouring Power and could devour and refine all things.

Not only could the Devouring Ancestral Symbol greatly enhance cultivation efficiency, but more importantly, its wielder could use Devouring Power to contain the other Ancestral Symbols!

In the original timeline, Lin Dong had relied on the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to formally embark on his path of rise, later devouring the other Ancestral Symbols and achieving the Martial Ancestor's great renown!

Though he somewhat suspected that Lin Dong was the reincarnation of the Symbol Ancestor, Lin Langtian's eyes still flickered at such an opportunity.

If the chance arose, he truly had to claim the Devouring Ancestral Symbol for himself.

After all, that was the Devouring Ancestral Symbol!

Although he had broken through to become a First Seal Talisman Master, Lin Langtian still had no intention of leaving seclusion over the next few days. Instead, he continued refining his control over Mental Power.

After all, the path of Mental Power was more intricate and mysterious than Yuan Power cultivation.

Thus, even after becoming a First Seal Talisman Master, Lin Langtian did not dare slacken in the slightest.

However, on the third day of Lin Langtian's seclusion, a hurried knock on the door shattered the room's tranquility.

"Brother Langtian, something has happened!"

As Lin Langtian was tempering the Natal Spirit Talisman in his Mud Pill Palace, a familiar, clear voice suddenly sounded from outside, startling him awake.

"It's Ke'er."

His eyes slowly opened. Hearing the urgency in Lin Ke'er's voice, Lin Langtian frowned slightly, then swiftly rose and pulled open the door.

"What happened?"

Upon opening the door, Lin Langtian discovered that aside from Lin Ke'er, Lin Tao, the steward of the Lin Mansion here, was also present.

Seeing the anxious expressions on both their faces, Lin Langtian asked in surprise.

Given the Lin Clan's standing in the Great Yan Empire, even if this was merely a temporary residence, could anyone really be so blind as to provoke them at their door?

Seeing Lin Langtian emerge from seclusion, Lin Ke'er sighed in relief. As though she had found someone to rely on, her tense expression eased slightly before she hurriedly spoke.

"Brother Langtian, something happened to Lin Ya and the others."

"Lin Ya?"

Hearing that name, Lin Langtian frowned slightly. Then he recalled that she was also one of the Lin Clan's highly ranked younger-generation geniuses.

Though her appearance did not compare to Lin Ke'er's, she was still exceptionally beautiful. She had been one of the five people who had traveled with Lin Langtian to the Imperial Capital half a month ago.

"What happened to Lin Ya?" Lin Langtian asked, his expression turning grave.

Lin Ke'er said, "Since it was their first time in the Imperial Capital, Lin Ya and several others had been visiting the bustling North District of the Imperial City these past few days.

Nothing had happened during that time. Although some gang ruffians had taken a fancy to Lin Ya's beauty and tried to take advantage of her, once we announced the Lin Clan's name, those people clearly knew of our reputation and sensibly backed down.

But this morning, a group dressed in yellow suddenly surrounded Lin Ya. Their leader even publicly harassed her.

And when we announced the Lin Clan's name, they did not care at all, directly claiming that we were impostors.

Enraged, Lin Chen and the others tried to argue with them, but that group was completely unreasonable. They attacked at the slightest disagreement, and Lin Chen and the others were injured."

"Oh? Lin Chen and the others were injured?" Hearing this, Lin Langtian's expression darkened.

Though there were many suspicious aspects to this matter, anyone who dared lay hands on members of the Lin Clan truly had the guts of a bear!

"Which faction do these people belong to?" Lin Langtian asked in a low voice.

"According to what they called themselves, they seem to be a gang called the Mysterious Tiger Gang from the Imperial Capital's North District."
