Second Sign-In, Reward: Ancestral Talisman

But whether it was the stripping or absorption of Spiritual Qi, it was an extremely difficult matter.

Moreover, guiding Spiritual Qi to temper the body and Dou Qi was extremely draining on the mind.

Therefore, even though this Myriad Spirits Returning to Origin Art was hailed as the Ling Clan's best Foundation Establishment Cultivation Method, few people practiced it.

Even among the clan members who had cultivated this cultivation method, there had never been any renowned powerhouses.

"Although my disciple's bloodline level is low, his cultivation talent is still passable."

Ling You said with a smile.

"Since that's the case, why not let him try?"

"If that's the case, then follow me."

After staring at Ling You for a while and confirming he wasn't joking, Ling Yang immediately led the two into the Dou Skill Pavilion.

The moment Ling Xi stepped into the Dou Skill Pavilion, the System's prompt sounded in his ears again.

[Ding, detected that the host has arrived at the sign-in location: East Ling City Dou Skill Pavilion, do you wish to complete the sign-in?]

"Sign in!"

[Signing in, sign-in will last for ten minutes. Please do not leave the sign-in location within ten minutes.]

Ling Xi's expression remained unchanged as he followed behind Ling Yang and Ling You.

As soon as they entered the Dou Skill Pavilion, the light dimmed considerably.

What met their eyes were rows of neat wooden shelves, filled with scrolls of varying thickness.

"Everything here is sealed, don't touch anything randomly."

Ling Yang reminded them, then led the two further upstairs.

The Dou Skill Pavilion had four floors. The first three floors corresponded to Yellow, Profound, and Earth grade cultivation methods and Dou Skills, respectively.

As for the Ling Clan's Heaven grade Dou Skills, they were all stored in the Ling Realm, and could only be learned by core direct descendants of the Ling Clan.

Ling Xi and the other two walked all the way to the fourth floor before stopping.

The fourth floor of the Dou Skill Pavilion was not large. Apart from a crystal sphere placed in the center, there was nothing else.

"This is our clan's Inheritance Crystal. It contains the cultivation method of Myriad Spirits Returning to Origin Art, as well as some experience and insights from past generations who cultivated this technique."

Ling Yang pointed at the crystal ball emitting a faint glow and said to Ling Xi.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and thank Elder Ling Yang?"

Ling You saw Ling Xi standing there blankly and couldn't help but pat the back of his head.

"Oh, thank you, Elder Ling Yang."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xi, who had snapped back to reality, quickly bowed to Ling Yang.

One had to know that the benefits of this kind of secret method inheritance far surpassed the inheritance from cultivation method scrolls.

Not only could it allow him to quickly grasp the execution path of the cultivation method, but with the experience of his predecessors, it would undoubtedly allow him to take fewer detours.

"Myriad Spirits Returning to Origin Art is our clan's top-tier Foundation Establishment Cultivation Method. It is extremely difficult to cultivate, so it depends on your fortune."

Ling Yang waved his hand, and a gentle force lifted Ling Xi.

"Remember, only those with the Ling Clan bloodline can cultivate this cultivation method. Otherwise, your meridians will surely shatter, and you will die."

This brat will remember.

Ling Xi said seriously.

"Go, inherit the cultivation method as soon as possible. I still have many things to teach you."

Ling You also said from the side.

"Yes!"

Ling Xi took a deep breath, then slowly stepped forward, placing his hands gently on the crystal.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in, obtaining an Eight-star Reward: Devouring Ancestral Symbol.]

[Does the host wish to merge immediately?]

The moment Ling Xi placed his hands on the crystal ball, the System's prompt sounded in his mind.

"Not merging for now."

What a joke, there were two old monsters at the Dou Venerate level beside him.

If they discovered anything unusual, would he still be able to live?

As soon as Ling Xi commanded the System, a massive amount of information surged into his head like a tide.

Just as he was struggling to digest the various pieces of information in his mind, the crystal ball in front of him suddenly erupted with a brilliant blue light.

The light was so intense that it illuminated the entire fourth floor of the Dou Skill Pavilion.

"Hiss!"

Ling Yang gasped.

"Your disciple has such talent in this cultivation technique?"

Besides passing down cultivation techniques and combat skills, this type of Inheritance Crystal can also test the talent of those who cultivate them.

If the cultivator has high talent, the Inheritance Crystal will glow.

Ling Yang had never heard of anyone cultivating the Myriad Spirits Returning to Origin Art to such a bright degree.

"When I first saw him a few days ago, his talent shouldn't have been this high, right?"

Ling Yang recalled carefully, his brow furrowing.

"If he had such high talent, why is he only a one-star Dou Practitioner at this age?"

"Who cares, as long as he's a Descendant Citizen of our Ling Clan?"

Ling You shook his head, speaking with hidden meaning.

"Regardless, discovering a good prospect is always a good thing."

"Indeed, some people's talent increases significantly after awakening their bloodline, even if the bloodline level is low."

Ling Yang didn't probe further. Ling Xi's background and life were as clear as a blank sheet of paper anyway.

Besides, although such occurrences were rare, they weren't unheard of in the Ling Clan.

"And you, how much longer can you hold on?"

"I don't know, less than five years."

Ling You gave a wry smile and then clutched his chest.

"Those bastards from the Soul Clan heavily injured me when I was subduing the Exotic Flame. It's already difficult for me to last until today."

"The Soul Clan is powerful. Apart from the Ancient Clan, no other ancient race has the strength to contend with them."

"Even the Xiao Clan, which was once at its peak, was destroyed by the Soul Clan."

Ling Yang sighed, his expression complex.

"I can only let you suffer this loss in vain."

"It's fine. I also killed the Soul Clan expert who ambushed me back then, so in a way, I got my revenge on the spot."

Ling You waved his hand, his expression turning puzzled.

"I just don't understand why the Soul Clan is so enthusiastic about collecting the souls of Alchemists."

"What exactly do they want to do?"

Ling Yang heard this and didn't speak, just shook his head.

The Soul Clan was the most mysterious existence among the ancient races.

No one knew what they were doing or what they wanted to do.

"This child's talent is exceptional, but due to the limitations of his bloodline rank, if he only cultivates within the clan, his future achievements will not be very high."

Looking at Ling Xi, who was still closing his eyes and receiving cultivation technique information, a complex look flashed in Ling You's eyes.

"I will teach this child everything I know these past few years. After I die, you let him leave the Ling Clan."

"Leave the Ling Clan?"

Ling Yang's voice involuntarily rose a few decibels.

"Such talent, and you want him to leave the Ling Clan?"

"The so-called ancient races are nothing more than a large cage. The so-called Dou Di Bloodline is not necessarily that noble."

Ling You sneered.

"I won't even mention what happened with Yao Chen of the Yao Clan back then."

"Even I, an Eighth-grade Alchemist, am not as respected in the Ling Clan as those useless people with higher bloodline ranks but far inferior strength?"

"According to the clan's records, this child is merely a Descendant Citizen with a First-grade Bloodline. It shouldn't be difficult for you to let him leave the Ling Clan, right?"

"We've known each other for so many years. Consider this my only dying wish."
