Killing Lei Bao, Destroying the Xie Family
[Task: Become a One Seal Symbol Master. Reward: Mental Energy +2, Comprehension +2, Beginner Symbol Dao Talent +2. Completed, claim?]
"Claim!"
[Mental Energy 23 (One in a Hundred) -> Mental Energy 25 (One in a Hundred).]
[Comprehension 19 (Outstanding) -> Comprehension 21 (One in a Hundred).]
"Phew~ Awesome! Another improvement."
Lin Yun felt a cool sensation in his mind, which was very comfortable.
"My Mental Energy is much stronger. After condensing the Symbol Seal, my control over Mental Energy has also greatly improved. Now using the Beast Taming Art is much easier, and the condensed Mental Imprints are more stable."
Lin Yun felt the changes in his Mental Energy and was increasingly satisfied.
"Now, let's practice the Mystic Dark Sword."
"Let's try creating a task!"
[Task: Practice controlling the Mystic Dark Sword for one minute. Reward: Mental Energy Control Proficiency Beginner +1.]
"This works too, great."
Lin Yun immediately began practicing.
Controlling the Mystic Dark Sword wasn't learning Martial Arts, but the reward obtained was "Mental Energy Control" proficiency.
This was a very basic ability, just like normal physical strength exertion and Origin Power control.
But precisely because it was basic, it was important.
At the same level of strength, power control was a very detailed aspect, and these details often determined success or failure.
Lin Yun wasn't in a hurry to do other things.
He practiced controlling the Mystic Dark Sword in the courtyard.
Having just condensed the Symbol Seal and become a One Seal Symbol Master, his Symbol Seal wasn't solid enough and needed some time to stabilize.
The rewards he received earlier, the Soul Nourishing Pill and Gathering Spirit Pill, were perfect to use now.
Lin Yun created cultivation tasks and cultivated tirelessly. With Qi Blood Pills, Soul Nourishing Pills, and other pills, he could cultivate almost non-stop.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye!
[Task: Mental Energy Control reached perfection. Reward: One bottle of Fifth Grade Soul Nourishing Pill. Completed, claim?]
[Task: Ancient Swirl Symbol Seal Formation Method cultivated to perfection. Reward: One bottle of Fifth Grade Gathering Spirit Pill. Completed, claim?]
"Claim!"
He received two more bottles of pills.
Lin Yun was in a great mood.
Now he could easily control the Mystic Dark Sword, his Mental Energy control had reached a level of extreme precision, allowing him to control the extension of his Mental Energy very well.
Now, when releasing his Mental Energy to probe, Lin Yun felt that experts in the late Heavenly Yuan Realm would definitely not be able to detect him.
Only after reaching the level of perfect control did he realize how crude his previous use of Mental Energy was.
In addition, his Natal Spiritual Symbol was completely stable, and his Mental Energy had increased again. Lin Yun felt that he had reached the level of a Two Seal Symbol Master, and it would probably only take a few days before he could attempt to condense the second Symbol Seal and break through to Two Seal Symbol Master.
"It's time to investigate the situation of the Lei and Xie Families. It's best to kill that old dog Lei Bao before he breaks through to the Core Formation Realm to avoid trouble."
That night, Lin Yun got up, put Tiger Heroine into the Alchemy Furnace, and slipped out of the courtyard.
His current strength was enough to sweep through the Heavenly Yuan Realm, and with the Mystic Dark Sword, he could even fight against someone in the Core Formation Realm.
In the original work, after Lei Bao broke through to the Core Formation Realm, he began to deal with the Lin Clan.
Calculating the time, it was about time for Lei Bao to attempt to break through to the Core Formation Realm.
Since he knew the plot, Lin Yun's principle was to nip danger in the bud.
Half an hour later! Lin Yun, wearing the black robe exclusive to Soul Palace elders, arrived at the Lei Family.
He first used his Mental Energy to probe the situation of the Thunder Mansion from outside.
After reaching the One Seal Symbol Master level, his Mental Energy could reach every corner of the Thunder Mansion.
The Thunder Mansion was unusually deserted at night. Perhaps because Lin Yun had killed four Heavenly Yuan Realm experts from their family, their family's strength had declined, and there weren't many people in the entire Thunder Mansion.
Lin Yun quickly detected Lei Bao's location in a courtyard deep within the Thunder Mansion.
His Mental Energy was like his eyes.
Lin Yun saw that Lei Bao was currently sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat. On the table in front of him, sandalwood incense that could calm the mind was burning, and there was also a pile of fiery red stones, four fruits, and three bottles of pills.
There were over a hundred Yang Yuan Stones.
Lin Yun recognized all four fruits, three green and one red.
The green fruits were Azure Yuan Fruits, Fourth-Grade Spiritual Medicine.
The red one was a Fire Source Fruit, Fifth-Grade Spiritual Medicine.
The three bottles of pills looked like they each contained ten, so there should be thirty Yang Yuan Pills.
Looking at him, he seemed to be regulating his breath, searching for the optimal state. Once he reached that state, he would immediately take the medicine and attempt to break through.
"Heh heh, old fellow, you haven't broken through yet, so you have no chance."
"You've prepared quite a lot of resources, so many good things. I don't know why you didn't just send them to me like a delivery. Not proactive enough." A dangerous curve appeared at the corner of Lin Yun's mouth.
"Heh heh heh, since that's the case, don't blame me for coming to your door to collect!"
[Mission: Kill Lei Bao. Reward: One bottle of Fifth Grade Gathering Yuan Pill.]
"Whoosh!"
Lin Yun directly stepped onto the Mystic Dark Sword and flew at a low altitude. Since he was wearing a black robe, no one noticed him in the night sky.
Arriving above Lei Bao's courtyard, Lin Yun concealed his aura and slowly landed.
When a lion hunts a rabbit, does it need to use its full strength? To be safe, he would launch a sneak attack.
Lin Yun controlled the Mystic Dark Sword, turning it into a sword shadow. With a whoosh, it shot into the room through the window, heading straight for Lei Bao's crown of the head.
The moment the sword broke through the window, Lei Bao immediately woke up.
"Who—"
However, just as he uttered a single word, a spray of blood bloomed from his forehead.
"Hmm, he died just like that? Too easy!"
Lin Yun opened the door and entered. He saw Lei Bao still sitting on the prayer mat, a bloody hole in his forehead. But his eyes were wide like copper bells, as if he had seen something incredible. The image of the Mystic Dark Sword was still reflected in his eyeballs.
"You are a good person!"
Lin Yun spoke, saying quite seriously.
Immediately, he closed Lei Bao's eyes and collected the spiritual herbs, pills, and Yang Yuan Stones from the table.
"Let's see if there are any other good things."
Lin Yun searched Lei Bao's courtyard. Before long, he discovered three more good things.
Three books carefully stored in a cabinet.
He opened them to take a look.
Third-rate secret manual, "Thunder Yuan Art".
Fourth-grade martial art, "Thunderbolt Light".
Fourth-grade martial art, "Mystic Thunder Step".
"Not bad, not bad. This is the Lei Family's inheritance, much stronger than our Lin Clan's."
The Lin Clan only had the Pure Yuan Finger as a Fourth-grade martial art. After they perfected the Mystic Gate Seal, they gained another one, but the Lei Family had always had two. It was no wonder they could suppress the Lin Clan and the Mad Blade Martial Hall before.
Lin Yun picked up the Thunder Yuan Art and roughly flipped through it. This cultivation method could actually open up eight meridians, which was also much stronger than the Lin Clan's Azure Yuan Art.
The Azure Yuan Art could only open up four, and even after Lin Dong's Stone Talisman perfected it, it was only seven.
The strength of a cultivation method, to a certain extent, determined the speed of cultivation.
"Taking these three secret manuals back will further enhance the Lin Clan's foundation and strength. I'm sure Grandpa and the others will be very happy."
Lin Yun put away the books and quietly left the Lei Family.
He came in a hurry and left in a hurry!
The entire Lei Family remained calm. No one discovered that their patriarch was gone.
Lin Yun turned a few streets and arrived at the Xie Family.
He performed the same operation, first using his mental energy to investigate.
"Strange, Old Dog Xie Qian isn't here."
Lin Yun was puzzled. Of the three remaining Heavenly Yuan Realm experts in the Xie Family, two were at home. Xie Qian had gone somewhere unknown.
"Since I'm already here, I'll take whoever I can."
Lin Yun was like the Black Impermanence collecting souls. After establishing the mission, he silently and stealthily entered the Xie Family.
This time, he was not in a hurry to kill.
The two were only at the early and middle stages of the Heavenly Yuan Realm, so a sneak attack wasn't necessary.
Lin Yun wanted to first interrogate them for information about Xie Qian.
