"I have 1853 attribute points left, just enough to fully upgrade the Teleportation Formation array."
Thinking about it, Lin An started smashing the Teleportation Formation again.
I spent 45 attribute points to bring the Teleportation Formation to its maximum level.
Then I spent another 1600 attribute points to upgrade the Teleportation Formation array to the Gold Tier.
146 attribute points were allocated to upgrade the Illusory Spirit Formation to the Perfect level and its grade to Bronze Tier.
The 20 attribute points were used to upgrade both the Spirit Plant Master and the Spirit Chef to the Bronze Tier, leaving only 42 attribute points.
That's about it.
Lin An opened the panel and took a look.

"Once the secondary profession is unlocked, the consumption of attribute points increases significantly. I still need to earn enough attribute points," Lin An thought to himself.
Fortunately, there are still three days until the Competition Ceremony. Once he enters the Spirit Realm, he can earn enough attribute points.
"There are still three days left. It's a good time to try setting up Teleportation Formation and Aura Concealment Formation using Spirit Mark, and it would be best to make each array seamlessly connected."
Thinking it over, Lin An also closed the interface and began to set up Teleportation Formation and Aura Concealment Formation using Spirit Mark runes.
Fortunately, he is now Gold Tier array master, and he has mastered both of these arrays to the fullest. In addition, with his previous experience in setting up the Spirit Gathering Formation, his proficiency has also improved.
He spent the next three days studying these two formations.
The formations have been set up, but quickly switching between different formations is still quite difficult.
The Teleportation Formation, in particular, requires an extremely high amount of spiritual energy to use. Even after undergoing three marrow cleansing and meridian tempering processes, he was still struggling to withstand it.
Furthermore, a teleportation Teleportation Formation needs to be set up to guide the way; otherwise, there is a high probability that they will be lost in the void.
Even teleportation Teleportation Formation have a certain distance limit; with his current strength, he can only teleport about a hundred miles at most.
Ultimately, it was a life-saving measure.
Three days passed in a flash, and it was January 4th.
Today is the triennial Competition Ceremony in Guangwu City.
Starting two weeks ago, the entire Guangwu City became exceptionally lively.
Even though no younger generation members participated in this Competition Ceremony, many city lords from lower cities still brought their entourages to observe.
Furthermore, since the news of Lin An obtaining the first-class item through the Ancient Spirit Tower half a month ago spread, even some lower city lords who had never been here before came to the city after hearing the news.
On the teleportation plaza.
At this moment, a large crowd had gathered around.
Lin An arrived early as well.
"Be careful on this trip," Lin Xiao instructed.
However, he wasn't worried at all, because he knew his son's strength very well; even a Platinum Realm expert would find it difficult to compare with him.
"Um."
Lin An smiled and nodded, then walked towards the center of the teleportation plaza.
His arrival naturally attracted the attention of many people around him; it could be said that some people came specifically for him.
"That must be Lin An. He passed the Ancient Spirit Tower half a month ago and even ranked first. If he doesn't die young, he will definitely become a top expert in the future."
"I heard he's from Shenglin City in the lower city. He's really made us proud. Who says our lower city can't produce geniuses?"
"You've even started to resonate with that? No matter how monstrous someone else is, what does it have to do with you? I envy Lin Xiao for having such a son."
"Once Lin An goes to the royal city and gains the favor of those important figures, perhaps Shenglin City can become Upper City in the future."
"Don't speak so soon. Although Lin An is exceptionally talented, he hasn't fully matured yet. There are Platinum- level Sin Beast in the Spirit Realm. If he's not careful, he could perish there..."
"..."
Looking at Lin An, some people were envious, some were jealous, and some even harbored ill intentions.
Lin An ignored this and stood still in the square, waiting quietly.
"Brother Lin, my name is Liu Yun from Fenghai City. If we meet again after entering the Spirit Realm, I hope you will show mercy."
"Brother Lin, my name is Li Ruo from Ruiming City..."
"I am..."
Lin An wanted to wait quietly for the Competition Ceremony to begin, but the other young women who were preparing to participate in the ceremony all greeted him with smiles and clasped hands.
They didn't expect Lin An to guide them in the Spirit Realm; they only hoped that if they met, the other party wouldn't attack them.
Lin An responded with a smile, after all, they were strangers and had no grudges against each other.
But once he enters the Spirit Realm, he won't hold back if these people try to attack him.
However, compared to killing people, he still preferred killing Sin Beast, since he could gain a lot of attribute points.
As he was exchanging pleasantries with these people, a series of exclamations suddenly rang out from the crowd. Lin An looked in the direction of the exclamations and saw a group of nearly a hundred people arriving at the square.
Listening to the discussions of others, Lin An also learned that these hundred people were all from the Ten Great Clans of Guangwu City, and the lowest among them was Gold Seventh Grade.
The most conspicuous among them were ten people, all around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, yet already at the Gold Ninth Grade.
As soon as this group appeared, everyone else in the square changed their expressions and made way for them.
At this moment, one of them looked around, and when he saw Lin An, his eyes lit up. He then walked up to Lin An.
"Brother Lin, I am Zhou Ping from the Zhou Clan of Guangwu City. I have long heard of your extraordinary talent and formidable strength, but I have never had the chance to meet you. It is a pity that I cannot have a heart-to-heart talk with you." Zhou Ping said with a cupped hand and a smile.
"I've been expanding my knowledge at the Ten Thousand Books Tower for some time now, and I really haven't been able to get away. I hope Brother Zhou won't mind," Lin An replied in return.
A few days ago, Zhou Ping specially sent someone to deliver an invitation to a gathering of the younger generation.
However, at that time Lin An only wanted to read books in the Ten Thousand Books Tower, and had no interest in attending this gathering, so he was politely declined.
Besides, the other party's invitation to the gathering must have been at the behest of their family elders, and he could guess their purpose, so he really had no interest in it.
Moreover, it's better to maintain good relations with the Wu Clan than to befriend the Ten Great Clans, since the Wu Clan is the true overlord of Guangwu City.
"Haha, Brother Lin, there's no need to be so polite. We can drink and chat after this grand ceremony."
Zhou Ping smiled and said, "Brother Lin, you probably don't have anyone to accompany you yet, right? Why don't you come with us? With your help, we might have a chance to seize that rare treasure in the Spirit Realm."
"Brother Zhou, please forgive me. I'm used to traveling alone. As for rare treasures, I haven't cared about them. I just want to hunt more Sin Beast and earn a spot," Lin An said, shaking his head.
Just kidding, with such a large group of you following me, how am I supposed to farm attribute points?
As for the rare treasures in the Spirit Realm, he didn't really care much. It would be best if he could get them, but if he couldn't, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Although Spirit Realm are rare, there are quite a few in the entire Myriad Spirits Realm, and there are many rare treasures that he cannot obtain.
" Zhou Ping, they are powerful and look down on us. Why force them?"
Zhou Ping wanted to persuade him further, but a cold voice suddenly rang out.
