Selecting Martial Arts, Hundredfold Return

Blazing Flame Manor could be said to account for a major share of the Lin Family's resources.

Because its soil carried a trace of Fire Attribute aura, Blazing Flame Manor was especially suited for growing Spirit Medicine.

Blazing Flame Manor contained vast stretches of Spirit Fields planted with a considerable quantity of Spirit Medicine.

Of course, this Spirit Medicine could not all be claimed by Lin Tianci alone.

Most of the mature Spirit Medicine had to be handed over to the family. However, taking some for his own cultivation every so often by taking advantage of his position was not something anyone could criticize, so long as he did not go overboard.

Lin Hong's cultivation had reached its current level not only because of his talent and hard work, but also because Blazing Flame Manor had previously been under Lin Mang's control.

Lin Zhentian's decision now spoke for itself.

"Father, Lin Tianci is only a junior. Is it really appropriate for him to manage such a large manor?" Lin Mang objected.

"The minor squabbles within the family can encourage you to improve your strength, but the most important thing is the Lin Family's unity. If a family cannot even remain united internally, it will not survive in Qingyang Town."

Lin Zhentian added another remark, then cast Lin Mang a seemingly casual glance.

Lin Mang's heart trembled. Naturally, he knew that Lin Zhentian's words were directed at him.

Thus, as soon as Lin Zhentian said this, Lin Mang hurriedly nodded. He appeared to agree on the surface, but the resentment and venom he felt toward Lin Tianci only grew stronger within his heart.

Lin Tianci was already like this now. If he did not find a way to curb his momentum, would Lin Tianci not be riding roughshod over him in the future?

At this moment, Lin Tianci did not have any extra thoughts about Blazing Flame Manor. With the system, he truly did not think much of the profits a single manor could bring.

There was something else on his mind.

If he remembered correctly, after the Clan Competition ended, all of Qingyang Town would welcome a hunting expedition.

During that hunt, the Lei Family would lose Ironwood Manor to Cousin Lin Dong.

Cousin Lin Dong would discover a Yang Yuan Stone Mine within Ironwood Manor!

That mine was an enormous opportunity!

He wondered what the system would return to him when Lin Dong discovered the mine.

Although the Clan Competition had only just ended and the hunting expedition was still far away, Lin Tianci was already looking forward to it.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianci glanced at Lin Dong again.

"Cousin Lin Dong performed quite well in this Clan Competition too. But if you want to defeat Lin Langtian, you still need to work harder. Mm, the harder you work, the better.

"If Cousin Lin Dong needs anything during your cultivation, then as your cousin, I will naturally do everything I can to help you."

Lin Dong had no idea that Lin Tianci had already treated him as a tool. His eyes were filled with gratitude.

This ge of his was simply too good to him.

Not only had Lin Tianci comforted him when he was feeling down, he was now even saying that he would help him cultivate.

Lin Tianci sneered inwardly.

If he did not say that, how could Lin Dong possibly fight desperately for resources?

"Good, good." Lin Zhentian smiled from the side as he watched the harmonious atmosphere between Lin Tianci and Lin Dong.

At present, these two were both extremely important juniors of the Lin Family. It was naturally best if they had a good relationship.

"Tianci, as the elder brother, has set an example for the others in both strength and character."

Lin Zhentian continued, "Before this Clan Competition, I said that the top three would each be allowed to enter the family's Martial Arts Hall and select one martial art manual."

At those words, anticipation appeared on both Lin Dong's and Lin Hong's faces.

Lin Xia, on the other hand, looked somewhat disappointed. She had placed fourth in this competition, so she was destined to miss out on the opportunity to enter the Martial Arts Hall.

Seeing the slightly forlorn expression on Lin Xia's face, Lin Tianci opened his mouth, wanting to give his place in the Martial Arts Hall to her.

However, before Lin Tianci could say anything, Lin Zhentian continued speaking.

"However, since two dark horses, Tianci and Dong'er, emerged in this Clan Competition, I have decided that the top four may all enter the family's Martial Arts Hall."

The moment Lin Zhentian finished speaking, Lin Xia's complexion visibly brightened.

She had visited the family's Martial Arts Hall before, so she knew how many good things it contained.

However, with her previous strength, she had been unable to cultivate Third Grade Martial Arts. Now, she could give them a try.

Lin Hong's thoughts were much the same as Lin Xia's. He too had set his sights on Third Grade Martial Arts.

At this point, Lin Hong no longer had any temper left toward Lin Tianci. He could not even bring himself to feel jealous, because the gap between them was simply too great.

Therefore, Lin Hong shifted his target to Lin Dong.

He hoped that after selecting a martial art this time, he could turn things around!

Soon, the Lin Family banquet ended, and the representatives of the various powers in Qingyang Town departed one after another.

Although it was already late at night.

Lin Dong, Lin Xia, and the others remained highly excited, without the slightest desire to sleep. They wanted to immediately enter the family's Martial Arts Hall and choose a powerful martial art.

Lin Zhentian smiled helplessly, then waved his large hand. Since that was the case, the family's Martial Arts Hall would be opened to Lin Tianci and the others starting tonight.

Each of them could select one martial art suited to them from the Martial Arts Hall.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Dong, Lin Hong, and Lin Xia rushed at full speed toward the Martial Arts Hall.

As for Lin Tianci, after hesitating for a second, he followed them.

Since all three of them were going, he might as well choose one too.

After passing the Pavilion Guardian, the four entered the Martial Arts Hall.

Lin Xia and the others introduced the family's Martial Arts Hall to Lin Dong.

Lin Hong headed straight for the deepest part of the Martial Arts Hall, where the Third Grade Martial Arts were kept. His goal was clear.

Under Lin Xia's guidance, Lin Dong also arrived at the shelf containing Third Grade Martial Arts.

Originally, Lin Xia had wanted to bring Lin Tianci along.

However, when she saw his uninterested expression, she said nothing.

After all, this ge of hers could casually create a Fourth Grade Martial Art. Perhaps he truly did not think much of the family's martial arts.

Lin Tianci strolled around leisurely by himself.

The family's martial arts held no appeal for him whatsoever. If he had to choose a goal, Lin Tianci would select a Movement Martial Art.

Unfortunately, the Lin Family did not have many Third Grade Martial Arts, and there were no Movement Martial Arts among them.

Thus, Lin Tianci could only casually take a Second Grade Movement Martial Art, Phantom Steps.

Meanwhile, disregarding Lin Xia's advice, Lin Dong stubbornly grabbed the Third Grade Martial Art, Mysterious Gate Seal Remnant.

Clearly, he intended to rely on the Stone Talisman within his body after returning and restore this remnant of the Mystic Gate Seal!
