Martial Universe: Invincible through lottery, with godlike comprehension from the start.

"The Pavilion of Curious Items?" Lin Dong was somewhat surprised upon seeing the name "Pavilion of Curious Items." "I've heard that you can buy all sorts of precious items there. Brother Lin Fan, let's go in and take a look."

"Alright," Lin Fan agreed without any objection, and then led Qing Tan and Lin Dong into the Treasure Pavilion.

As soon as they stepped through the gate, a very spacious hall appeared before them.

Around the hall, there are numerous counters, each displaying a dazzling array of goods.

The three of them casually browsed the goods on the counter, but did not rush to buy anything.

Suddenly, Lin Dong's attention was drawn to a palm-sized, light blue cloth bag.

Lin Fan and Qing Tan followed Lin Dong's gaze and soon saw the product description.

"Low-grade Qiankun Bag, forty-eight Yang Yuan Stones."

A servant in blue robes in the hall, seeing that Lin Fan and his companions seemed interested in the Qiankun Bag, smiled and introduced it to them:

“The low-grade Qiankun bag is made of Qiankun wood and inscribed with runes by a second-level talisman master.”

"Don't let its small size fool you; it can hold items the size of a counter. Carrying it with you will save you a lot of trouble."

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly, "Give me three of the fourteen Yang Yuan Pills."

Lin Fan has a system space; buying the Qiankun Bag is just a cover.

Upon hearing this, the young servant in blue looked troubled and said, "We're still short four Yang Yuan Stones."

Based on market prices, fourteen Yang Yuan Pills are equivalent to one hundred and forty Yang Yuan Stones.

However, Lin Dong only needs forty-two Yang Yuan Stones to refine Yang Yuan Pills using stone talismans.

In this way, you can buy three Qiankun Bags for less than the price of one Qiankun Bag, which is a great deal.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "If you agree, then it's a deal; if not, then forget it."

"Well... alright, thank you for your patronage, young master," the waiter said with a wry smile, but still agreed.

Lin Fan didn't waste any time. He reached into his robes, actually taking out fourteen Yang Yuan Pills from his system space, and handed them to the servant in blue.

"Here is your Qiankun bag, please keep it safe," the servant in blue said, taking the Yang Yuan Stone and handing three Qiankun bags to Lin Fan.

"One for each of you, keep them safe," Lin Fan said, putting away one of the Qiankun bags and giving the other two to Qing Tan and Lin Dong respectively.

"Thank you so much, Brother Lin Fan!"

Qingtan and Lin Dong thanked them at the same time, took the Qiankun Bag, and were both very fond of it.

Lin Dong examined the Qiankun bag for a while, and his gaze was suddenly drawn to the runes on the left side of the bag.

Lin Dong's gaze was fixed on the peculiar runes, his mind involuntarily becoming immersed in them, as if he were bewitched.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a peculiar fluctuation suddenly emanated from Lin Dong's mind at that moment. An invisible spiritual force seeped out from his head and slowly outlined a blurry rune.

The blurry runes were remarkably similar to the runes on the Qiankun Bag.

In a corner of the hall of the Strange Things Building, sat a drowsy old man in gray robes.

His surroundings were quite messy, somewhat out of place with the Qiwu Tower, but no one came forward to disturb him.

The old man, who had been dozing with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his gaze falling on Lin Dong as if he had discovered a priceless treasure. He muttered to himself...

"Such extraordinary mental talent!"

When the gray-robed old man saw Lin Fan and his companions having toured the Treasure Pavilion and were about to leave, he suddenly flashed and appeared in front of them.

"I wonder what brings this old gentleman to our door?" Lin Fan looked at the old man's appearance, a name flashing through his mind, and took the initiative to ask.

The old man in gray ignored Lin Fan, his gaze fixed on Lin Dong, making Lin Dong feel a chill run down his spine.

A moment later, he suddenly extended a finger and pointed it at Lin Dong's brow.

Upon seeing the gray-robed old man's actions, Lin Dong was startled and tried to dodge, but was horrified to find that he had lost control of his body!

Although Lin Fan had some guesses about the gray-robed old man's identity, he couldn't just stand by and watch. He quickly formed a cyan hand seal with both hands and fiercely attacked the gray-robed old man's arm!

"Huh? Not bad aptitude!" The gray-robed old man exclaimed in surprise, flicking out a gentle force from his hand to knock Lin Fan away, and explained, "I meant no harm."

Then, he looked at Lin Dong, a hint of surprise appearing on his usually stern face, "Little guy, are you interested in becoming a talisman master?"

Chapter 26: A Polite Refusal, Focusing on Cultivating Spiritual Power!

It really was him!

Upon hearing the gray-robed old man's words, Lin Fan confirmed the man's identity; he was undoubtedly Master Yan, the only four-seal talisman master in Yan City.

Upon hearing Master Yan's words, the hall of the Strange Things Pavilion immediately fell silent.

Almost everyone looked at Lin Dong with envy.

"A talisman master?"

Lin Dong was also taken aback upon hearing this, as he naturally had some impression of talisman masters.

Furthermore, judging from everyone's attitude towards Master Yan, he knew that the other party must be no ordinary person.

Lin Dong hesitated for a moment before glancing at Lin Fan to the side.

Lin Fan said, "You decide for yourself. Whatever you choose, Qing Tan and I will support you."

Master Yan glanced at Lin Fan again as he watched this scene, and then looked at Lin Dong with a smile.

Lin Dong always remained wary of strangers, especially of unsolicited benefits.

He subtly touched his palm with his fingers, where his greatest secret was hidden.

"Sir, my strength is weak. If I am distracted by cultivating the Dao of Talismans, I am afraid it will delay my cultivation of martial arts. Please forgive me."

After hesitating for a while, Lin Dong still politely declined.

Hearing Lin Dong's words, Lin Fan and Qing Tan didn't seem to mind, but everyone else in the hall looked at Lin Dong as if he were an idiot.

Lin Dong's refusal surprised Master Yan for a moment, then he smiled and praised him, clearly indicating his intention to take him as a disciple.

However, Master Yan's hospitality only made Lin Dong more wary.

Lin Dong's mind raced, and he said, "Sir, may I go home and discuss this with my elders? If I have a result, I will come back to find you here."

"This book can help you understand the art of talisman mastery. Once you've figured it out, you can find me at the Wan Jin Merchant Guild."

Master Yan was somewhat helpless about Lin Dong's persistence, but he wasn't angry. He took out a talisman and a dry book and threw them at Lin Dong.

"Thank you, sir," Lin Dong said to Master Yan, accepting the two items with both hands and putting them into his Qiankun bag.

"Brother Lin Fan, Qing Tan, why don't we go explore other places?"

Feeling the gazes of those around him, Lin Dong felt somewhat uncomfortable and whispered to Lin Fan and Qing Tan.

"Alright," Lin Fan nodded in agreement, gave Master Yan a slight bow, and then left the Treasure Pavilion with Lin Dong and Qing Tan.

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked with some curiosity, "Who is that old gentleman? Why did he suddenly approach me?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. They just called that person Master Yan. I've heard that there is a powerful four-seal talisman master in Yan City, and that is Master Yan."

"That Master Yan only valued your spiritual talent and took a liking to you, wanting to take you as his disciple. He had no other intentions."

"That's alright," Lin Dong said, relaxing a little more upon hearing this.

Lin Fan asked, "Want to continue browsing?"

Lin Dong hesitated for a moment, then said, "Grandpa and the others will probably be back soon. If we get back late, they'll probably worry."

Qingtan originally wanted to continue exploring, but after hearing Lin Dong's words, she gave up.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Alright, let's stroll around the street leading back to the inn."

Neither Qingtan nor Lin Dong had any objections to this.

Since it was the return trip, and we had already visited many of the places, it didn't take much time to get back to the guesthouse.

Not long after they returned to the inn, Lin Zhentian and the others also returned.

"Grandpa, how is it?" Lin Dong couldn't help but ask when he saw Lin Zhentian and the others return.

Lin Zhentian smiled and said, "Fortunately, I exchanged three hundred Yang Yuan Stones for thirty-two Yang Yuan Pills."

Based on market conditions, this was already a slight profit, so Lin Zhentian and Lincoln were both very satisfied.

Lin Fan and Lin Dong exchanged a glance, but they were not satisfied with this.

Lin Fan couldn't help but wonder what excuse he could come up with to take over the sales task of Yang Yuan Stone.

When the time comes, they will be able to earn even more by using Lin Dong's stone talisman to refine Yang Yuan Pills.

Before long, Lin Mang returned, bringing news that the price of ironwood had been suppressed.

Lin Zhentian pondered for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not bother with the Lei family about this for now. The Yangyuan Stone business is the most important right now. We can settle the other matters with the Lei family later."

Lincoln and Lin Mang both nodded upon hearing this.

After resting for a while at the inn, Lin Zhentian led everyone on their return journey.

Lin Zhentian was unaware that the Lei family had already found out about the Lin family's sale of Yang Yuan Stones.

By the time the Lin family's caravan returned to Tiemu Village, it was already quite late.

After disbanding the convoy, Lin Zhentian waved his hand, telling everyone to go back and rest.

"Brother Lin Fan, come to my room first," Lin Dong said in a low voice as he walked to Lin Fan's side.

"Okay," Lin Fan understood that Lin Dong intended to share the Divine Movement Chapter with him, and nodded in agreement.

Qingtan rolled her eyes and followed them to join in the fun.

After the three arrived at Lin Dong's room, Lin Dong locked the door from the inside before taking out the dry, unused book.

"Brother Lin Fan, Qing Tan, let's take a look at this book together and see what it contains."

"The Chapter of Divine Movement"

The book was opened, revealing three large characters.

The three of them browsed through it and quickly discovered that it was a manual for cultivating spiritual power.

However, only the cultivation incantations for the first three levels are listed above.

Nevertheless, this small book is by no means cheap.
