Lin Dong, in particular, was shaken to the core.
He and Lin Fan had started training their Mental Power together. Back then, he had even passed the God Movement Chapter that Master Yan had given him on to Lin Fan.
Only a few months had passed. He himself had only become a One-Imprint Talisman Master a little over a month ago, yet Lin Fan had already broken through to become a Two-Seal Symbol Master. The gap was a little too huge!
After the shock came overwhelming joy.
"Hahaha, good, as expected of my fine grandson!" Lin Zhentian could not help bursting into laughter.
A Two-Seal Symbol Master was already comparable in strength to him, someone at the Lesser Yuan Dan Realm.
Adding Lin Xiao to the mix, their Lin Clan was equivalent to having three Lesser Yuan Dan-level experts.
With such strength, even in Yancheng, they should be able to gain some footing!
After his joy settled, Lin Zhentian said, "Since both Fan'er and Dong'er want to go to Yancheng, then the two of you can make the trip together. But Yancheng is not like Qingyang Town, so you must be extra careful."
"Thank you, Grandfather!"
Lin Fan and Lin Dong exchanged a look, then thanked Lin Zhentian at the same time.
Lin Zhentian pondered for a moment, then said, "Since you are going to Yancheng to buy Spiritual Medicine, naturally you cannot go empty-handed. Here are one hundred Yang Yuan Pills. Take them and use them."
As he spoke, Lin Zhentian took out a Cosmos Sack and handed it to Lin Fan.
Looking at the Cosmos Sack Lin Zhentian handed over, a trace of warmth also rose in Lin Fan's heart.
One hundred Yang Yuan Pills was definitely not a small sum for the Lin Clan.
Although they now had the Yang Yuan Stone Mine, accumulating this amount still required a very long time.
However, a mere one hundred Yang Yuan Pills was nothing much to him.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "How about this? During this period, Ironwood Estate has also dug out quite a few Yang Yuan Stones. Lin Dong and I can simply bring the Yang Yuan Stones to Yancheng and trade them there."
"As for the Yang Yuan Pills in Grandfather's hands, leave them for Uncle and the others to use in cultivation. That way, you won't have to make another trip to Yancheng later to exchange for Yang Yuan Pills."
Hearing Lin Fan's words, Lin Dong immediately chimed in, "Brother Lin Fan is right. We happen to know people from Ten Thousand Gold Commerce. Perhaps we can even exchange them for more Yang Yuan Pills."
"Very well, then let's do that." Lin Zhentian thought for a moment and felt that what Lin Fan and the others said made sense, so he agreed.
Afterward, everyone chatted for a few more moments before dispersing and leaving.
"Brother Lin Fan, when you go to Yancheng tomorrow, take me with you too. I've only been to Yancheng once."
After leaving Lin Zhentian's residence, Qingtan moved close to Lin Fan's side, tugged on his arm, and said in a sweet voice.
"Heh, I don't have any objections. I just don't know whether Grandfather and Third Uncle will agree," Lin Fan said with a soft laugh, rubbing Qingtan's head.
Ding! You touched Lin Qingtan and obtained a set of Seven Stars Sword! Note: requires a blood drop to acknowledge ownership. It can be controlled with Mental Power or Yuan Power; it can be used individually, or all seven swords can merge into one to fight enemies!
At that moment, the system's wonderful voice once again sounded in Lin Fan's mind.
Hearing the system's introduction of this reward, Lin Fan was instantly pleasantly surprised.
This Seven Stars Sword suited him far too well!
Qingtan shook Lin Fan's arm and said, "When the time comes, help me plead with them. They'll definitely agree."
"All right, I agree," Lin Fan said with a smile, no longer teasing Qingtan.
Just based on the Seven Stars Sword he had drawn from touching her earlier, he really could not bring himself to refuse this tiny request from Qingtan.
"Brother Lin Fan, you're the best!" Seeing Lin Fan agree, Qingtan immediately became overjoyed.
"All right, it's getting late. Go back and rest. Don't oversleep tomorrow morning."
Seeing Qingtan's happy expression, a smile also appeared on Lin Fan's face.
"Mm-hmm. Good night, Brother Lin Fan!"
Hearing this, Qingtan said good night to Lin Fan, then skipped back to her own room.
Lin Fan smiled and shook his head, then returned to his room to rest as well.
Nothing happened that night.
Very soon, it was the next morning.
Lin Fan had just finished breakfast when, under Lin Zhentian's arrangements, the Yang Yuan Stones they had accumulated this time had already been loaded onto carts. They had also been assigned a fifty-man escort team.
The escort captain was none other than Qin Ying, an old acquaintance of Lin Fan and Lin Dong.
"Young Master Lin Fan, Young Master Lin Dong, Miss Qingtan!"
Seeing the three of them arrive, Qin Ying hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
"We'll have to trouble Uncle Qin Ying this time," Lin Fan said politely with a nod.
Qin Ying hurriedly said, "This subordinate is not troubled."
Lin Fan smiled and said nothing more.
At this moment, Lin Xiao, who had come to see Lin Fan's group off, reminded them, "Fan'er, Dong'er, Qingtan, be careful on the road."
"We know, Third Uncle/Father!"
Hearing this, the three of them answered at the same time.
"Third Uncle, we're leaving." After that, Lin Fan cupped his fists toward Lin Xiao, then turned to Qin Ying and said, "Uncle Qin Ying, have everyone set off."
"Yes, Young Master Lin Fan!"
Qin Ying respectfully answered, then immediately relayed Lin Fan's order to the guards.
Lin Fan, Lin Dong, and Qingtan rode ahead on horseback, while Qin Ying led the escort team, guarding the six hundred Yang Yuan Stones as they followed closely behind.
As for Little Flame and Huo'er, they left them at Ironwood Estate again this time.
By the time the group arrived at Yancheng, it was already noon.
Lin Fan found a quiet inn and brought everyone inside to rest temporarily.
"Uncle Qin Ying, have everyone go into the inn and rest. Also, move the three boxes to my room."
After booking the rooms, Lin Fan said this to Qin Ying.
The three boxes he mentioned were precisely the ones containing the Yang Yuan Stones.
"Yes, Young Master Lin Fan!"
Qin Ying answered, then led the guards to carry the boxes to Lin Fan's room.
"Lin Dong and Qingtan stay. Everyone else, leave," Lin Fan instructed calmly after the boxes were carried into the room.
Hearing this, everyone immediately bowed and withdrew.
"Lin Dong, I'll leave it to you," Lin Fan said to Lin Dong with a smile after Qin Ying and the guards withdrew.
Lin Dong nodded, then immediately used the Stone Talisman in his palm to begin refining the Yang Yuan Stones.
From six hundred Yang Yuan Stones, Lin Dong could refine two hundred Yang Yuan Pills. If they took them to sell directly, they could only exchange them for sixty Yang Yuan Pills.
Of course, Lin Fan would not simply take the Yang Yuan Stones and sell them like that.
Through Lin Dong's efforts, it took two hours before all these Yang Yuan Stones were fully refined, and two hundred Yang Yuan Pills were in hand.
Lin Fan used this opportunity to take out the Seven Stars Sword and drip blood on it to acknowledge ownership.
The Seven Stars Sword consisted of seven palm-sized short swords, as thin as cicada wings, exquisite and compact.
At the hilt of each small sword was a star gleaming with cold light.
"Let's go. We'll make a trip to Ten Thousand Gold Commerce."
After Lin Dong finished refining all the Yang Yuan Stones, Lin Fan said with a smile.
Naturally, Lin Dong and Qingtan had no objections to this.
Thus, the three of them closed the boxes, each took one, and went out to find Qin Ying and the others.
"Uncle Qin Ying, have the others stay at the inn. Bring two men and come with us to Ten Thousand Gold Commerce."
After giving Qin Ying his instructions, Lin Fan was the first to leave the inn.
Qin Ying originally wanted to carry the boxes for Lin Fan and the others, but he was refused, so he could only walk in front and lead the way.
Before long, the group of four arrived at Ten Thousand Gold Commerce.
Lin Fan had Qin Ying and the two guards wait outside. The three of them went into Ten Thousand Gold Commerce and strolled around once, then came back out carrying the boxes again.
"Take the boxes and go straight back. The three of us will stay in Yancheng for a period of time."
"Ah?" Hearing this, Qin Ying's expression changed slightly, and he wanted to advise them against it.
Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "Enough. I already discussed this with Grandfather. You only need to go back."
"This... yes!"
Qin Ying was helpless and could only agree. Then he and the two guards carried the boxes away.
After watching the three of them leave, Lin Fan said to Lin Dong, "Lin Dong, I'd like to borrow something from you. Would that be all right?"
Lin Dong asked curiously, "What is it?"
