Ancient Vortex Talisman Seal

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since the discovery of the Yang Yuan Stone Mine Vein.

Unlike before, Lin Mu had not stayed home all day during these past two weeks. Instead, he went to the Trading Fair every day to purchase medicinal herbs of the fourth grade or above.

Buying medicinal herbs was merely incidental. His true purpose was to find something, but unfortunately, he still had not found it after half a month of searching.

That day, Lin Mu arrived at the Trading Fair as usual.

Has it finally appeared? Lin Mu secretly rejoiced. He had detected a fluctuation of Spiritual Power. There were not many things in the Trading Fair that could emit such a fluctuation.

Without revealing anything, Lin Mu walked over to a stall piled with a dazzling array of goods.

"How much is this Greenwood Spirit Stem?" Lin Mu asked, picking up the Greenwood Spirit Stem, though his attention was focused on a moss-covered piece of Ancient Wood beside it.

That Ancient Wood was precisely the one that recorded the seal-condensing method for the Ancient Vortex Talisman Seal. Lin Mu had wandered the fair for more than half a month just to find it.

"Fifty Yang Yuan Stones!" The stall owner, wearing a black conical hat, replied indifferently.

"What about this piece of Ancient Wood?"

"One hundred Yang Yuan Stones."

"A piece of Ancient Wood costs more than a fourth-grade medicinal herb?" Lin Mu said with feigned surprise. Though he did not lack this little money, he did not want to be treated like a fat sheep.

"The blurry talisman inscriptions on this Ancient Wood should have something to do with Talisman Masters. If Qingyang Town had any Talisman Masters, I would not sell it for only one hundred Yang Yuan Stones," the stall owner said lazily.

"How about one hundred Yang Yuan Stones for both?" Lin Mu asked.

"One hundred and fifty. Buy it if you want; if not, I won't force you," the stall owner replied, looking utterly unconcerned.

"Fine." Lin Mu took out fifteen Yang Yuan Pills and tossed them to the stall owner.

He had condensed those Yang Yuan Pills out of boredom over the past few days. When the Yang Yuan Stones had first been excavated, Lin Mu had casually taken some just for fun.

"Hehe, you're quite generous!" A trace of delight appeared on the stall owner's face.

Lin Mu felt that he truly was not suited for haggling. If he had held out a little longer, the other party might really have agreed to sell them for one hundred Yang Yuan Stones.

But Lin Mu did not care anymore. With a casual breath, he could produce ten Pure Yuan Pills, equivalent to one thousand Yang Yuan Pills. Rather than waste time arguing with the stall owner, he might as well take a few more breaths.

After obtaining the seal-condensing method for the Ancient Vortex Talisman Seal, Lin Mu happily left the Trading Fair and returned home.

Over the past half month, Lin Mu had raised his Spiritual Power cultivation to the level of a Four Seal Talisman Master, while his Primal Energy cultivation had advanced from the Lesser Core Formation Realm to the Lesser Perfection Core Formation Realm.

"I can improve again!"

Raising his Primal Energy cultivation from the Lesser Core Formation Realm to the Lesser Perfection Core Formation Realm had cost only nine hundred thousand Pure Yuan Pills. Raising his Spiritual Power cultivation to a Three Symbol Talisman Master had cost nine hundred thousand Pure Yuan Pills, while reaching the Four Seal Talisman Master level had cost one million two hundred thousand Yang Yuan Pills.

For the current Lin Mu, that would take only a few days.

Now that he had accumulated more than one million eight hundred thousand Pure Yuan Pills, he could improve either his Primal Energy cultivation or his Spiritual Power cultivation. However, Lin Mu still chose to improve his Spiritual Power cultivation first.

With a light tap, the number of Pure Yuan Pills immediately dropped by one million five hundred thousand, while his Spiritual Power cultivation changed from a Four Seal Talisman Master to a Five Seal Talisman Master.

"A Five Seal Talisman Master is comparable to the Greater Perfection Core Formation Realm. Combined with my Primal Energy cultivation, no one in all of Yan City is my match now."

Lin Mu felt that with a mere thought, he could unleash enormous power. Used together with Primal Energy, it was enough to defeat an ordinary Forming Realm expert.

The Salt City Lord had only just entered the Forming Realm and had not even reached minor achievement in it.

"After the Five Seal Talisman Master level comes the Spirit Talisman Master level, but there's no need to improve it yet. Once I raise my Primal Energy cultivation to the Greater Perfection Core Formation Realm, I'll accumulate some Pure Yuan Pills and exchange them for the Shadowless Needle," Lin Mu thought.

"Big Brother, I've cultivated Spiritual Power!" At that moment, Lin Dong ran excitedly into Lin Mu's room.

Half a month earlier, Lin Mu had taught Lin Dong the method of cultivating Spiritual Power. Lin Dong was extremely interested in Spiritual Power cultivation and had trained diligently.

"Not bad, but you're still far from condensing a Talisman Seal." Lin Mu nodded.

"Big Brother, do you think everyone is like you, able to condense a Talisman Seal after cultivating for a few days? Otherwise, why wouldn't Qingyang Town have even a single Talisman Master?" Lin Dong rolled his eyes at Lin Mu.

"I do have a way to increase your Spiritual Power by quite a bit," Lin Mu said with a smile. After all, he had not cultivated it himself; he had relied entirely on the system to improve.

"Big Brother, what way?" Lin Dong's eyes immediately lit up.

"I'll first teach you a seal-condensing method. I just found it at the Trading Fair," Lin Mu said.

"Big Brother, what good things could the Trading Fair possibly have? Teach me another seal-condensing method instead." Lin Dong grinned ingratiatingly. He knew that anything from Lin Mu's hands was good stuff.

"If it weren't something good, would I have taken an interest in it? Learn it if you want; forget it if you don't." Lin Mu spoke irritably. Although the Ancient Vortex Talisman Seal could not compare to the Thunder Sky Seal, it had been created by imitating the Devouring Ancestral Talisman and would be of great help when he obtained the Devouring Ancestral Talisman in the future.

"I'll learn! I'll learn!" Lin Dong quickly said.

"Take it." Lin Mu handed the Ancient Wood he had just acquired to Lin Dong.

"Big Brother, how am I supposed to use this?" Lin Dong looked at the Ancient Wood in his hands, not knowing what to do next.

"Just immerse it with your Spiritual Power," Lin Mu said.

Following Lin Mu's instructions, Lin Dong mobilized his tiny amount of weak Spiritual Power and immersed it into the Ancient Wood. At once, a faint glow spread across the Ancient Wood. The glow gathered together, eventually forming a beam of light that shot into Lin Dong's forehead.

A stream of information rapidly flooded into Lin Dong's mind.

Ancient Vortex Talisman Seal, seal-condensing method.

After a while, Lin Dong let out a soft breath. He had completely absorbed the information in his mind.

"Big Brother, where's the method you mentioned for rapidly improving Spiritual Power?" Lin Dong asked. As long as he condensed a Talisman Seal, he would become a One Seal Talisman Master.

"Come with me," Lin Mu said.

"Big Brother, where are we going?" Lin Dong asked, immediately following after him.

"Ironwood Manor."

"Could there be some treasure inside Ironwood Manor?" A glint flashed through Lin Dong's eyes.

"You'll know when we get there."
