42: A deal!

“Only a few months have passed!”

Master Yan's earlier examination of Lin Fan could only ascertain his Mental Energy talent. As for the Niwan Palace, it was naturally not something that could be easily probed.

Therefore, he did not see the two identical Symbol Seals within Lin Fan's Niwan Palace.

Although Master Yan had detected Lin Fan's extraordinary Mental Energy talent, he could not have imagined that Lin Fan had successfully condensed his Natal Symbol Seal, and even a second Symbol Seal, in just a few months!

Even with Master Yan's rich experience, such a thing caused him to lose his composure at this moment!

In Master Yan's opinion, even if Lin Fan possessed extraordinary Mental Energy talent, being able to open his Niwan Palace within these few months would already be outstanding!

He hadn't even considered that Lin Fan would be able to successfully condense a Natal Symbol Seal.

Inside the room, Xuan Su, Chief Manager and Xia Zhilan, Young Miss were also equally astonished.

Even the somewhat arrogant Xia Zhilan, Young Miss now looked at Lin Fan with new eyes!

Reaching the level of a Second Seal Symbol Master was the capital to contend with a Lesser Yuandan Realm expert!

Such strength meant that even she, with all her pride, could only feel inferior.

Moreover, according to Master Yan, Lin Fan had only been Cultivating Mental Energy for a few months!

“Haha, I truly didn't expect, Young Master Lin Fan, at such a young age, to already be an expert comparable to the Lesser Yuandan Realm.”

Xuan Su, Chief Manager lightly patted her chest, as if to calm her inner shock, and her beautiful eyes, as she looked at Lin Fan, sparkled with surprise.

“Where did you get the method to condense a Natal Symbol Seal?”

Master Yan suddenly remembered something and asked with some suspicion.

“Junior occasionally had an Opportunity and obtained a method to condense Symbol Seals.”

As Lin Fan responded, his mind stirred, and he used Mental Energy to condense two Symbol Seals radiating a strange light before him.

“It truly is a Second Seal!”

Upon seeing those two identical Mental Symbol Seals, Master Yan and the two women, Xuan Su, Chief Manager, no longer had any doubts.

“Initially, I only saw your younger brother's extraordinary Mental Energy talent, but I truly didn't expect your Mental Energy talent to be even more exaggerated!”

Master Yan stroked his beard and praised with a smile.

“And in just a few months, you went from a layman to a Second Seal Symbol Master! Among all the Symbol Masters this old man has ever met, such Mental Energy talent is absolutely the first!”

“Master Yan, you flatter me. Junior was just lucky,” Lin Fan borrowed a famous quote from Lin Dong, and with a thought, he retracted the two Symbol Seals.

“This cannot be achieved by luck alone,” Master Yan smiled and shook his head, then added, “You just said you wanted to make a deal with me. Tell me, what kind of deal do you have in mind?”

Xuan Su, Chief Manager and Xia Zhilan, Young Miss, hearing this, also looked at Lin Fan with some curiosity.

Lin Fan said, “Although I have become a Second Seal Symbol Master, I lack Mental Secret Arts for combat. Therefore, I would like to ask Master Yan to teach me a Mental Secret Art.”

“In return, I can guarantee to help you Breakthrough to the Spirit Symbol Master Realm within five years.”

Lin Fan not only had the System as a cheat, but he could also occasionally gain something from Lin Dong.

He believed that in five years, let alone a Spirit Symbol Master, it was even possible to Breakthrough to a Heavenly Talisman Master.

Master Yan was already a Fourth Seal Symbol Master. After Lin Fan himself became a Spirit Symbol Master, helping Master Yan Breakthrough to the Spirit Symbol Master Realm should not be a big problem.

Even if Master Yan didn't agree to this condition, he would likely propose that Lin Fan represent the Yan City Rune Master Association in the Tower Duel.

Lin Fan vaguely remembered that the Tower Duel seemed to be in about four and a half months.

The deal he proposed was merely an opening.

“Haha, Young Master, at such a young age, your tone is quite bold.”

Master Yan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, clearly not believing that Lin Fan could achieve it.

Lin Fan calmly said, “In just a few months, I grew from an ordinary person to the Second Seal Symbol Master Realm. Master Yan, how do you know I cannot reach the Spirit Symbol Master Realm within five years?”

Upon hearing this, Master Yan subconsciously wanted to retort, but then he thought of Lin Fan's exaggerated Mental Energy talent and changed his words,

“Even if you really can Breakthrough to the Spirit Symbol Master Realm within five years, a Spirit Symbol Master cannot necessarily help others become Spirit Symbol Masters. Otherwise, Spirit Symbol Masters wouldn't be so rare.”

Lin Fan smiled helplessly, “It seems Master Yan is unwilling to make this deal. Then Junior will not disturb you further.”

With that, Lin Fan made a gesture as if preparing to leave.

“Young Master, please wait,” Master Yan, seeing this, quickly called out to him.

Lin Fan cupped his hands and said, “May I ask if Master Yan has any other instructions?”

Master Yan chuckled, “This old man also wants to make a deal with Young Master.”

It's coming!

Lin Fan understood in his heart, but his expression remained calm. He cupped his fists and said, “Please enlighten me, Master Yan.”

“Have you heard of the Symbol Master Association?” Master Yan asked in return, chuckling.

“No,” Lin Fan shook his head slightly.

So, Master Yan introduced the Symbol Master Association to Lin Fan, and then introduced the Symbol Master Tower and the Tower Duel.

After the introduction, Master Yan revealed his true purpose,

“I would like to invite you to represent our Yan City Rune Master Association in this Tower Duel.”

Although Lin Fan understood in his heart, he still asked, “How will the Tower Duel proceed? Will it be a competition with Symbol Masters from other city's Symbol Master Associations?”

“Haha, the competition in the Tower Duel is not a fight, but rather decided in another way: charging the tower!”

Master Yan gently shook his head and explained with a smile.

“The Symbol Master Tower has nine floors. The method of competition is to see who can charge the highest and endure the longest inside.”

“On the eighth floor of the Symbol Master Tower, there is also a Qi-grade Mental Secret Art. If you charge to the eighth floor, you can learn that Mental Secret Art.”

Lin Fan mused, “Alright. However, that Mental Secret Art cannot be considered compensation. Master Yan needs to teach me a Mental Secret Art beforehand. After all, I'm not sure if I can reach the eighth floor.”

“Haha, Young Master is a bit greedy,” Master Yan shook his head and chuckled.

Lin Fan smiled and asked, “Then, Master Yan, do you agree?”

Master Yan playfully scolded, “If I don't agree, will you agree to participate in the Tower Duel? Here.”

As he spoke, Master Yan took out a scroll from his cosmos sack and tossed it to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan took the scroll with both hands. On the first line of the scroll, the four characters “Spiritual Blade” were written, which was the name of this Mental Secret Art.

Lin Fan did not examine it carefully for now, putting it into his System Space, and cupped his fists to Master Yan, “Thank you for the gift, Master Yan.”

Master Yan waved his hand, “Alright, no need for pleasantries. Go back and Cultivate well. The Tower Duel is in about three months. I will call you then.”

“Also, if you encounter anything you don't understand during Cultivation, you can come find me again.”

“Junior bids farewell!”

Lin Fan bowed with cupped fists, then nodded to Xuan Su, Chief Manager and Xia Zhilan, Young Miss, and turned to leave the room.

“Master Yan, we also bid farewell,” Xuan Su, Chief Manager and Xia Zhilan, Young Miss, seeing this, also said goodbye to Master Yan and left.

“Young Master Lin, please wait,” Lin Fan was about to go find Qing Tan and Lin Dong, but Xuan Su, Chief Manager's soft voice came from behind him.

Lin Fan paused slightly and asked Xuan Su, Chief Manager, “May I ask if Chief Manager Su has anything else?”
