Spirit Talisman Master

The Blood Wolf Gang had been destroyed, and the Lin Family took over its holdings, becoming one of Yan City's new three great families. Their relationships with both the Myriad Gold Merchant Association and the City Lord's Mansion were excellent, and conflicts within Yan City had decreased considerably.

Lin Mu's life remained as peaceful as ever. The only difference was that whenever he saw Ziyue's icy expression, he could not help teasing her, often making her bristle in anger.

Ever since the previous incident, Ziyue had taken on the role of Lin Mu's maid. However, she had not submitted to him. Whenever Lin Mu told her to pour him a cup of tea, she would add some salt to it. Whenever Lin Mu rested, she would use her Spiritual Power to launch sneak attacks on him.

However, none of her "schemes" succeeded. Instead, she was the one who suffered every time.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed.

After a month, Lin Mu had accumulated enough Pure Yuan Pills for another breakthrough. He decided to raise his Spiritual Power cultivation to the Spirit Talisman Master level first.

Spirit Talisman Masters were divided into Low-Level Spirit Talisman Masters, Intermediate Spirit Talisman Masters, and High-Level Spirit Talisman Masters, corresponding to the Three Creation Realms. Since the system raised cultivation directly to the peak of a given realm, even if Lin Mu entered the Low-Level Spirit Talisman Master realm, he would still be comparable to the greater success stage of the Form Creation Realm.

Without much hesitation, Lin Mu tapped the "+" behind his Spiritual Power cultivation. Instantly, nine million Pure Yuan Pills disappeared.

At the same time, Lin Mu's Spiritual Power underwent a qualitative transformation. His Life Talisman Seal seemed to have gained sentience.

"One thought can overturn mountains and seas. Such power is truly intoxicating!"

A Spirit Talisman Master was simply not comparable to a talisman master at the Five Seal realm. With a thought, one could lift an entire mountain. What tremendous power that was.

Buzz!

With a thought from Lin Mu, a flame rose before him. It was Spirit Fire. Such flames had little offensive power against physical objects, but they could scorch the spirit and easily burn someone into an idiot.

Furthermore, Spirit Fire could be used to refine Spirit Treasures. In all of Yan City, there were not even many Low Grade Spirit Treasures.

Once I find some materials, I can help the people in the family refine a few Spirit Treasures, Lin Mu thought. However, he had little interest in those Low Grade Spirit Treasures himself.

As for better Spirit Treasures, he could not refine them yet.

"Brother Lin Mu!"

At that moment, Qing Tan ran in, her voice as crisp as an oriole's song.

"Qing Tan, what's wrong?" Lin Mu asked with a smile.

"Brother Lin Mu, I've been at the Earth Yuan Realm for so long, but I still haven't broken through. Brother Lin Dong has already reached the Lesser Perfection Core Formation Realm," Qing Tan complained.

"Don't worry. Absorb the Yin fiend energy first. Once I find an extremely cold object, you'll be able to condense a Yin Core. Your cultivation will soon catch up to Lin Dong's," Lin Mu said with a smile.

"I want to grow stronger quickly. Otherwise, you never take me with you whenever you go out." Qing Tan pouted.

"What I do is too dangerous," Lin Mu said.

"Hmph, stupid Brother Lin Mu. I'm already very strong. Even Sister Lin Xia isn't my match. I don't need your protection at all," Qing Tan said.

"How about this? Once you surpass me, I'll take you with me every time I go out," Lin Mu said with a smile. He pinched Qing Tan's delicate nose, making her exquisite little face scrunch up slightly.

"You're so much stronger than me. How can I surpass you? You just don't want to take me out to play." Qing Tan looked as though she were about to cry.

"Fine, fine. I'll definitely take you with me next time," Lin Mu said. He could not stand seeing women cry.

"You can't lie to me. If you do, you're a puppy," Qing Tan said.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Lin Mu asked.

"Hehe, Brother Lin Mu is the best!" A brilliant smile immediately appeared on Qing Tan's face.

After pacifying Qing Tan, Lin Mu went to find Lin Zhentian and asked him to have the family gather materials for refining Spirit Treasures.

"Mu'er, what do you need these things for? The family already has some. If you need them, I'll have someone deliver them to your courtyard right away," Lin Zhentian said.

Having taken over the Blood Wolf Gang's holdings, the Blood Wolf Gang's former stockpile had naturally entered the Lin Family's treasury. There were quite a few materials suitable for refining Spirit Treasures inside.

"Grandfather, I've just broken through to become a Spirit Talisman Master. I plan to refine a few Spirit Treasures for the family, though I've never refined any before, so at most I can make Low Grade Spirit Treasures," Lin Mu said with a smile.

Crack! Upon hearing this, Lin Zhentian excitedly crushed the teacup in his hand. Lin Mu had broken through again, as easily as if he were eating or drinking.

"I'll have someone send them over immediately." After coming back to his senses, Lin Zhentian forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Even Low Grade Spirit Treasures were extremely rare. If he possessed a suitable Low Grade Spirit Treasure, his combat power would greatly increase. Defeating an ordinary Lesser Perfection Core Formation Realm cultivator would not be a problem.

"Grandfather, here are one hundred thousand Pure Yuan Pills. Have the Myriad Gold Merchant Association help purchase these materials. The more, the better." Lin Mu handed a Universe Bag to Lin Zhentian.

"Mm." Lin Zhentian accepted the Universe Bag and nodded.

After returning to his courtyard, Lin Zhentian had someone deliver the materials before long. There were quite a few of them, enough to refine three to five Low Grade Spirit Treasures without issue.

"Little girl, you can watch from the side, but if you cause trouble now, I won't be polite," Lin Mu said to Ziyue beside him.

"Am I really that troublesome?" Ziyue said aggrievedly.

Although she was very displeased with Lin Mu, she greatly admired his strength. Especially after hearing today that Lin Mu had broken through to become a Spirit Talisman Master and intended to refine Spirit Treasures, she had been so shocked that an egg could have fit in her open mouth.

"Haven't you caused enough trouble lately?" Lin Mu rolled his eyes at her.

"That was only because you provoked me first." Ziyue became angry at the thought of it.

"I'm not arguing with you. If you want to watch, stay quietly to the side and don't speak," Lin Mu said as he took out the materials and prepared to begin refining a Spirit Treasure.

"Hmph!" Ziyue snorted coldly and stepped aside.

Buzz!

With a thought, a nearly transparent ball of Spirit Fire appeared before Lin Mu. He picked up a piece of pitch-black metal and tossed it into the flames. After burning for an entire hour, the metal turned into a mass of liquid, while its impurities became dust and fell to the ground.

Lin Mu did not stop. He continued placing the other materials into the Spirit Fire.

Time slowly passed...

Lin Mu fused dozens of materials into that mass of molten metal, and its color changed from black to gold.

"Condense!"

Forming seals with both hands, he gave a low shout. The mass of golden liquid slowly condensed into the shape of a spear, with runes carved across its surface.

Whoosh!

Lin Mu let out a light breath and took the Golden Spear into his hand. His spirit was somewhat weary, as refining a Spirit Treasure for so long had consumed a considerable amount of Spiritual Power.

"I succeeded on my first try. It seems my talent for artifact refinement is quite good after all!" Lin Mu examined the Golden Spear in his hand and nodded in satisfaction. Though it was only a Low Grade Spirit Treasure, it was still a very good beginning.
