Inside the courtyard, Lin Yan moved with great speed.
As he sat cross-legged, Lin Yan quickly entered a state of cultivation.
He swiftly brought his hands together, his fingertips weaving into a rather peculiar seal.
Suddenly, with a shift in his focus, a dazzling glow of Yuan Power began to emerge from the surface of his body, continuously converging toward his palms.
Under Lin Yan's control, the Yuan Power on his skin moved like two small snakes, twisting between his hands as he adjusted his hand seals. Faintly, it appeared as though a special Yuan Energy seal was gradually taking shape.
Crack!
However, the cultivation of a spiritual technique was clearly not that simple.
As Lin Yan refined the light seal, a minor error caused all his previous efforts to go to waste. A sound like shattering glass rang out, and the seal disintegrated into fragments on the spot.
The faint spiritual light gradually dissipated, and Lin Yan's fingers, having suffered the backlash of the Yuan Power, began to tremble slightly.
"Again!"
Yet, such failure clearly could not shake Lin Yan's resolve.
If he failed once, he would simply try again. Even as he continued to fail, Lin Yan persisted, attempting the technique over and over.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
The sound of the light seal shattering rang out repeatedly, and with each failure, the powerful spiritual vibration left Lin Yan's hands feeling somewhat numb.
Yao Lao watched from the side, silent and not daring to disturb Lin Yan in the slightest.
But as he looked at Lin Yan's reddened and trembling fingers caused by the constant failures, a look of admiration could not help but surface in his aged eyes.
To grow braver with every battle—this is what a true powerhouse looks like.
Yao Lao could not help but sigh in his heart, clearly holding deep respect for Lin Yan's perseverance.
As for Lin Yan, after experiencing dozens of failures, the light seal in his palm finally began to radiate a chilling fluctuation!
Lin Yan's eyes lit up, and he injected his Yuan Power into it with even greater caution.
Then, as more Yuan Power was poured in, the light seal in his hands finally took complete form!
"It's done!"
Lin Yan could not help but laugh.
He propelled the Samsara Death Seal toward a rock in the courtyard.
Boom!
A massive sound erupted, and the rock was blasted into smithereens by Lin Yan's Samsara Death Seal.
Lin Yan wore a look of satisfaction.
Yao Lao, standing to the side, smiled and said to Lin Yan, "Congratulations, young friend, on successfully mastering the Samsara Death Seal!"
"I believe that through this training, your control over the Yuan Power within your body has reached a new height."
Lin Yan nodded with a smile, then said to Yao Lao, "Not only that, Senior Yao Lao, but this Samsara Death Seal of mine seems to be upgradable."
"According to the records, once the Samsara Death Seal is mastered, it needs to be nurtured with Yuan Power to make it even more powerful."
"Once the nurturing is complete, I can even refine multiple Samsara Death Seals."
"By stacking multiple seals, I can unleash even more terrifying power."
Yao Lao smiled and said, "Then you should spend this time focusing on cultivating the Samsara Death Seal, young friend."
"Actually, I am quite curious myself: compared to a Profound-tier martial skill like the Eight Extremities Collapse, which one is stronger?"
Lin Yan agreed on the spot.
Soon after, he began his cultivation of the Samsara Death Seal once more.
Over the following period, the members of the Lin Clan continued to mine the Sun Essence Mine as usual, while Lin Yan buried himself entirely in the cultivation of the Samsara Death Seal.
He quickly completed the nurturing of his first Samsara Death Seal and even successfully cultivated a second one!
On this day.
Lin Yan was testing the Samsara Death Seal in the Ironwood Forest.
He stood before a tree, stacked two seals together, and struck them forward.
The light seal shot ahead, and the ironwood tree struck by the Death Seal instantly erupted with a terrifying, frigid force.
The ironwood shattered instantly, and the icy chill caused the surrounding air to turn cold.
Seeing this, Lin Yan's eyes showed satisfaction.
After all, while the power of the Samsara Death Seal might not be as domineering as the Eight Extremities Collapse, it contained a terrifying, frigid energy. An opponent unaware of its nature would likely suffer internal injuries if struck by the cold.
In other words, this technique might actually be quite effective in real combat.
"Yo, Brother Lin Yan, I finally found you."
"Are you training here?"
Lin Yan was just about to continue testing when Lin Dong happened to arrive. Seeing Lin Yan's Samsara Death Seal, Lin Dong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth as he spoke to Lin Yan.
With his keen eye, he could naturally tell that this Samsara Death Seal was extraordinary, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of shock.
"You've obtained another powerful martial art."
"You truly live up to your reputation, Brother Lin Yan."
Lin Dong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
However, he didn't ask any further questions; after all, everyone had their own secrets, and he had his own as well.
Therefore, knowing that Lin Yan was his good brother was enough.
"Heh, just a small trick, it's nothing worth mentioning."
Lin Yan merely smiled faintly at this, dispersed his Samsara Death Seal, and asked Lin Dong, "Little Brother Lin Dong, you came all the way here to find me, surely you weren't just passing by?"
Lin Dong shook his head and directly stated his purpose to Lin Yan:
"No, Brother Lin Yan. We've mined quite a lot of Yang Yuan Stone during this period, haven't we?"
"So, Grandfather plans to take a batch to Flame City to sell them and exchange them for Yang Yuan Pills."
"He specifically asked me to come find you so we can go to Flame City together and broaden our horizons."
Lin Yan rubbed his chin upon hearing this.
Come to think of it, he had never actually been to Flame City, so he was quite interested in such a place.
Furthermore, there was an important point to consider.
Lin Yan remembered that in the original story, Lin Dong seemed to have become a Symbol Master by obtaining the Spirit Movement Chapter from the Curio Pavilion in Flame City.
Since Lin Yan now had the opportunity to visit Flame City, he naturally couldn't let this chance slip by.
On one hand, Lin Yan wanted to see if he had the potential to become a Symbol Master himself.
On the other hand, Lin Yan wondered if it might be possible to complete a sign-in at this Curio Pavilion.
Having just received a reward from the Great Thousand World, Lin Yan felt a burning sensation in his heart; if he could strike while the iron was hot and obtain more rewards from the Great Thousand World...
"Let's go! Let's head out now."
Thinking of this, Lin Yan agreed to Lin Dong immediately.
Afterward, he turned around and headed toward the main gate of Ironwood Manor.
Lin Dong quickly followed. Shortly after, Lin Yan, Lin Dong, Lin Zhentian, Lin Xiao, and the others transported a large quantity of Yang Yuan Stone and ironwood, left Ironwood Manor, and headed straight for Flame City!
