[You have spent 200,000 attribute points to successfully raise your proficiency in the Lin Clan Cultivation Technique to Mastery.]
[ Lin Clan Cultivation Technique ]: Mythic Rank, proficient in 0/600,000 attribute points
The mastery level of the Lin Clan Cultivation Technique increases cultivation speed by 128 times.
Lin An wanted to advance to the minor mastery level, but unfortunately, it required too many attribute points.
In just a short while, he spent 300,000 attribute points, and now he only has 465,124 attribute points left.
"Let's leave it at that for now, and upgrade it later when we have more attribute points."
Thinking about it, Lin An looked at the scroll again and found that it had returned to normal. It only contained the first half of the cultivation technique, which was only at the Platinum Rank.
"It seems that someone from the Lin Family had tried to infuse spiritual energy into it before, but they certainly didn't obtain the subsequent cultivation techniques."
"It seems there are still limitations. Either you need to reach the Platinum Realm, or you need to perfect the first half of the cultivation technique, or you even need to be Awakened One?"
Lin An stopped thinking about it and put the scroll away, planning to tell his adoptive father about it first thing tomorrow morning and let him give it a try.
It just so happens that the other party has already perfected their cultivation technique and reached the Platinum Realm. If only these two conditions are met, then the subsequent cultivation techniques can also be obtained.
If becoming Awakened One is required, then there's nothing he can do.
As for verbally explaining the subsequent techniques to the other party, he wanted to, but unfortunately, he couldn't do it at all. It seemed that there was some kind of restriction that prevented him from passing it on in any way.
After putting the scroll away, Lin An looked at the reward he had just received: the Exotic Treasure Upgrade Crystal.
[ Exotic Treasure Upgrade Crystal ]: A special item that can be used to upgrade rare treasures obtained from the Spirit Realm.
The introduction was simple, but Lin An's eyes lit up.
The treasures in the Spirit Realm are not graded; each one is unique.
Whether it was the Heaven and Earth Spirit Crystal he had obtained before or the Spirit-Devouring Ring he was wearing, they were all valuable items that he could use until he died.
"I wonder what the upgraded Spirit-Devouring Ring will be like."
Thinking it over, Lin An Spirit-Devouring Ring.
[Would you like to consume one Exotic Treasure Upgrade Crystal to upgrade the Exotic Treasure Spirit-Devouring Ring?]
"Yes."
Buzz...
As Lin An confirmed this, the Exotic Treasure Upgrade Crystal transformed into a beam of spiritual light and surged directly into the Spirit-Devouring Ring.
Upgrade successful.
When the system notification sounded again, Lin An checked it out.
The Spirit-Devouring Ring appeared unchanged on the outside, but its interior had undergone tremendous changes.
Previously, the Spirit-Devouring Ring contained only ten altars, but now it has a hundred.
"There are more corpses that can be refined now."
Lin An smiled. In this way, the number of spiritual energy orbs that the Spirit-Devouring Ring could provide would increase, indirectly improving his cultivation speed.
"Unfortunately, there aren't that many of these Sin Beast corpses available right now."
He could buy a batch of Sin Beast corpses in Guangwu City tomorrow, but that would be too conspicuous.
Although the members of the Ten Great Clans all knew that they had obtained a rare treasure, they did not know its specific effects. If they knew that it could help them cultivate quickly, they would inevitably have some ideas about it.
Lin An decided to wait until they reached the capital to discuss it further, since there were only a few days left anyway.
Lin An then took out the pill, swallowed it, and began cultivating.
The 126-fold increase in cultivation speed was indeed exhilarating; he could clearly feel the pills being rapidly refined and transformed into his spiritual power.
Furthermore, he had set up a Diamond Tier Spirit Gathering Formation within his body using talismans, causing the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth to surge wildly into his body.
Soon, dawn arrived.
Lin An also stopped cultivating. His cultivation level did not improve after one night, but he did consolidate it.
Stepping out of the room, Lin An went straight to Lin Xiao.
"What brings you here so early in the morning?"
Lin Xiao asked curiously.
"Father, this matter is of great importance. Let's discuss it in the quiet room."
Lin An Andao.
Lin Xiao's expression also turned serious, and he led Lin An into the quiet room.
Then, under Lin Xiao's watchful eye, Lin An took out the scroll.
"Father, try channeling your spiritual energy into him," Lin An said.
Lin Xiao was surprised. He recognized the scroll; it was the Lin Family's traditional martial arts technique.
Although he didn't know why Lin An made this request, he insisted on listening to advice and channeled his spiritual energy into it.
"Huh? This scroll is actually absorbing my spiritual energy." Lin Xiao exclaimed in surprise.
"How could this be? I've tried infusing it with spiritual energy before, but nothing changed," Lin Xiao said.
"I estimate there are limitations. It might require perfecting the cultivation technique, or breaking through to the Platinum Realm, or perhaps both."
Seeing that Lin Xiao could also cause changes in the scroll, Lin An breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this technique did not require Awakened One.
Lin Xiao suddenly realized that, apart from that ancestor, no one in the Lin Family had met the requirements in the past seven hundred years, so it was naturally impossible for them to discover it.
Half an hour passed quickly. As the scroll's light paused, a ray of spiritual light flew into Lin Xiao's brow.
Lin Xiao immediately closed his eyes, receiving the information in his mind.
A few minutes later, Lin Xiao opened his eyes, but they were filled with excitement.
"This is actually Mythic Rank cultivation technique!" Lin Xiao lowered his voice, as if he were doing something wrong, but the excitement in his tone was hard to hide.
"It seems that our Lin Family's ancestor is quite extraordinary. Father, after you return, you can try to find out some information about this ancestor," Lin An said with a smile.
Lin Xiao nodded. This was Mythic Rank cultivation technique. To obtain a technique of this level, the Lin Family ancestor was definitely no ordinary person.
"Father, it takes some time to get the basics of this technique. It's a pity I'm about to go to the royal city, otherwise I could have helped you to reach the basics first," Lin An said.
"It's alright. I have the Heaven and Earth Spirit Crystal. Even if I'm not as good as you, I'll definitely be able to master it within three years."
Lin Xiao said, "Besides, I'm only at the Platinum Second Grade now. By the time I reach the Platinum Ninth Grade, I should have already mastered the basics of the technique."
Lin An nodded, but still planned to help the other party improve their proficiency over the next few days so that they could get started sooner and their cultivation speed would be faster.
The father and son chatted for a few more minutes before a servant from the guild hall came to report that people from the Ten Great Clans had arrived. Only then did Lin Xiao leave the quiet room.
Lin Xiao talked with the people from the Ten Great Clans for more than two hours, and after confirming the details of the transaction, he returned to the quiet room.
Then the father and son entered a state of cultivation, Lin Xiao also took out the Heaven and Earth Spirit Crystal to learn the second half of the Lin Clan Cultivation Technique.
Time flies.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Lin An was also about to set off for the royal city.
