Zi Yue, Shocking Senior Sister All Day!

Flame City!

Lin Yun arrived again. Two months had passed since his last visit.

This trip into the city had two main objectives.

First, to trade the Yang Yuan Stones the Lin Clan had recently mined.

Second, to buy a residence in Flame City! Now that the clan had a mine, they could afford to buy property in the city.

Because they had a Cosmos Sack, this trip to Flame City was only for Lin Yun and Lin Dong.

The others were still in Qingyang Town and Ironwood Manor, busy mining and selling off assets.

The Yang Yuan Stones they brought had already been refined into Yang Yuan Pills by Lin Yun and Lin Dong, so there was no need to trade them.

They just needed to give a portion of the Yang Yuan Pills to the clan when they returned.

When they refined it themselves, three Yang Yuan Stones yielded one Yang Yuan Pill. If they traded, ten Yang Yuan Stones were needed for one, and the quality wasn't as good as what they refined themselves.

Doing this avoided the middleman earning the price difference.

Lin Yun even wanted to be the middleman!

He had Red Spirit, which was much more efficient at refining pills than Lin Dong's Stone Talisman.

This time in Flame City, Lin Yun planned to learn Alchemy from Master Yan, then pretend he was exceptionally talented, an Alchemy prodigy. With the title of Alchemist, he would directly cooperate with the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild, acquiring large quantities of Yang Yuan Stones, Spiritual Herbs, and other materials.

Everything would be handed over to Red Spirit for refining!

Once in Red Spirit's furnace, there would be no wasted materials! Furthermore, the energy extracted from the Yang Yuan Stones could also replenish Red Spirit, eliminating the need for him to use Origin Power to assist. It was simply perfect.

"Brother Lin Yun, let's go see Master and Sister Lin Xia first," Lin Dong suggested.

"Okay!"

Lin Yun nodded. Speaking of which, they had only performed a disciple's bow when they became Master Yan Xuan's disciples and hadn't followed him for cultivation.

Both of them had already cultivated to become Rune Masters on their own, and Lin Yun was even a Two Seal Symbol Master.

This master's presence wasn't strong.

Master Yan was only a Four Seal Symbol Master.

At this rate, it probably wouldn't take even a year for Lin Yun to surpass him.

Curiosity Shop! It was Master Yan's exclusive property. As the strongest Rune Master in Flame City, it wasn't strange for him to own a building.

Lin Yun and Lin Dong entered the building but didn't see Master Yan. They immediately asked the manager for information.

"Master Yan didn't come to the Curiosity Shop today. If you have anything, I can relay the message!"

Since their last visit was also hurried, the manager of the Curiosity Shop didn't recognize Lin Yun and Lin Dong.

"We are Master Yan's disciples. This is Master Yan's token. Could you arrange for someone to take us to find Master Yan?"

Lin Yun felt a bit awkward. As disciples, they didn't even know where their master lived.

"Ah—so it's the two of you. I heard Master recently took in three disciples, but two of them I haven't seen. My surname is Liu, and I'm in charge of managing the Curiosity Shop. You could say I'm Master's steward. Please guide me more in the future."

The manager's attitude immediately became respectful when he saw the token in Lin Yun's hand.

"I will have someone take you to Master's residence right away."

It was rumored throughout the Curiosity Shop that Master Yan had taken in two genius disciples, but most of them had never seen them.

One must know that Master Yan held a very respected position in Flame City. He hadn't taken disciples for many years, and this time he actually took three, two of whom he actively recruited.

This was enough to prove the status of Lin Yun and Lin Dong in Master Yan's heart.

The two of them would likely become Rune Masters in the future, so they dared not offend them.

"Thank you, Manager Liu!" Lin Yun cupped his hands.

Soon, guided by an attendant arranged by Manager Liu, they arrived at a relatively secluded courtyard.

"This is where Master Yan lives. It's very quiet, and generally no one dares to disturb him by coming to his door. I'll see you off here."

Upon reaching the entrance, the attendant respectfully bowed and left.

There were guards at the entrance. Lin Yun showed his Rune Master token, and the guards respectfully made way.

"Let's go!"

Lin Yun and Lin Dong entered the courtyard.

Inside, it was indeed quiet and elegant, with bamboo groves everywhere. There were several houses, all made of bamboo, which looked quite simple but had a unique charm.

"Who are you?"

Suddenly, a cold voice came.

Lin Yun and Lin Dong looked in the direction of the voice.

Their eyes couldn't help but light up.

A hint of astonishment flashed in their eyes.

They saw a woman walking out of the Bamboo Garden.

She was tall and slender, dressed in a purple robe. Her skin was like snow, her eyebrows delicate like willow leaves, her face a perfect oval, and her mouth a small cherry. Her exquisite features formed an exceptionally beautiful person.

However, this pretty face was as cold as ice, seemingly warding off strangers.

"We're here to see Master Yan. We are..."

"He's not here. Please leave!"

Before Lin Yun could finish speaking, the woman in purple opposite him issued a dismissal.

After speaking, the woman in purple turned and prepared to walk into the bamboo house.

Lin Yun frowned. Seeing the woman's attire and her cold demeanor, he had already guessed her identity. She must be Master Yan's most prized disciple, the City Lord's daughter, Zi Yue!

"You're still not leaving?" Zi Yue frowned. She had dealt with many people who came to see her master for favors, and they were all sensible enough to come back another day.

"Master is busy today and doesn't have time to see anyone."

"Oh, then we'll wait for him here. We don't have anywhere else to go for now." Lin Yun said with an "oh" and prepared to walk into the Bamboo Garden.

This was his master's place. Here, his status was the same as Zi Yue's.

Zi Yue raised an eyebrow. This was the first time she had seen such an inconsiderate guest. Coming to seek Master Yan, yet daring to disregard the host's rules.

"Didn't you hear what I said?"

Zi Yue watched Lin Yun walk straight inside, her willow-like eyebrows furrowing. The Mental Energy in her Niwan Palace immediately surged out, sweeping towards Lin Yun, attempting to push him out.

Lin Yun smiled at the corner of his mouth. He liked this! [Task: Spar with Zi Yue. Reward: One bottle of Fifth Grade Soul Nourishing Pill.]

Another tool for grinding tasks!

Lin Yun looked at Zi Yue with satisfaction. He immediately unleashed his Mental Energy as well. His control over Mental Energy had reached a state of perfection, and his Mental Energy was even more condensed than Zi Yue's.

*Buzz!*

Lin Yun's Mental Energy directly transformed into a long spear, piercing through Zi Yue's Mental Energy barrier and rushing towards her.

"Two Seal Symbol Master!"

Zi Yue was startled. She immediately activated the Natal Symbol Seal in her Niwan Palace, and her vast Mental Energy condensed into a wall, blocking Lin Yun's Mental Energy spear! She carefully sized up Lin Yun, finally beginning to seriously examine the two of them.

"Where are you Symbol Masters from?"

The Symbol Master circle in Flame City was very small, and Zi Yue had basically met everyone, especially the Two Seal Symbol Masters, whose numbers were even scarcer. Most of their names were known. The sudden appearance of such a young Two Seal Symbol Master truly surprised her.

"Symbol Masters from Flame City, under Master Yan!"

Lin Yun said calmly.

"Under Master? Impossible, how could I not have seen... Could you two be... Lin Yun? Lin Dong?"

Zi Yue suddenly remembered, and her beautiful eyes instantly lit up.

"I am Lin Yun!"

"I am Lin Dong!"

"You've heard of us?"

Lin Yun and Lin Dong looked at Zi Yue, whose expression instantly changed to one of surprised gentleness.

"I heard Master and Lin Xia mention you." Zi Yue looked at Lin Yun seriously, as if she couldn't believe it. "But you only became Master's disciples two months ago. How could you have reached Two Seal Symbol Master? Master doesn't seem to have taught you the Seal Formation Method yet!"

Lin Dong's mouth curved slightly upwards. Seeing Zi Yue's surprised expression, he felt very comfortable... Be shocked, this is Brother Lin Yun.

Finally, he wasn't the only one surprised! Lin Yun looked at her with a teasing expression, "You should have heard that when Master first saw us, he was very pleasantly surprised and couldn't wait to take us as disciples?"

"Does that have anything to do with you breaking through to Two Seal Symbol Master in two months?" Zi Yue was puzzled.

Lin Yun said pretentiously, "Of course it does. Would you be pleasantly surprised by taking in an ordinary disciple?!"

In terms of Mental Energy talent, he and Lin Dong could be proud.

Zi Yue was choked by his words. She remembered that when she became Master Yan's disciple, Yan Xuan had only maintained his usual gentle attitude and wasn't surprised at all.

From this perspective, Lin Yun and Lin Dong's Mental Energy talent was extremely terrifying.

But Zi Yue didn't understand what level of Mental Energy talent could allow someone to become a Two Seal Symbol Master in two months, and without any guidance.

She had cultivated with Master Yan, with the help of her family, and it had still taken her five years to successfully reach the level of Two Seal Symbol Master.

"Is he also a Two Seal Symbol Master?"

Zi Yue pointed at Lin Dong, looking slightly excited.

"Me? No, I'm only a One Seal Symbol Master!" Lin Dong sighed.

He wanted to catch up, but he still couldn't catch up to Brother Lin Yun.

Phew... Zi Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a lump in her throat. The phrase "I'm only a One Seal Symbol Master" also stimulated her.

Compared to Lin Yun, using "only" was fine, but...

Zi Yue looked at these two junior brothers, feeling deeply discouraged.

Becoming a Two Seal Symbol Master at a young age, far surpassing the geniuses of the younger generation in Flame City, had always been her pride. The formation of her cold and arrogant personality was also related to her Mental Energy talent and strength.

However, today, her pride was utterly trampled in front of Lin Yun and Lin Dong.

Compared to the two of them, she was simply trash!

Indeed, they were worthy of being disciples who surprised their master.

"Oh right, disciples, they are my junior brothers!"

Thinking this, Zi Yue's mood suddenly improved greatly.

Having two monstrous junior brothers seems pretty good too!

In terms of talent, she had been utterly crushed, left with nothing.

But in terms of status, she held an absolute advantage.

"I am your senior sister, my name is Zi Yue. Master went to the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild and won't be back until later. You two should come in and sit first."

Zi Yue immediately invited the two into the courtyard, enthusiastically made them tea, and curiously inquired how they managed to break through to become Rune Masters so quickly.

Lin Yun casually made things up, summarizing it as three good points: good talent, good comprehension, and good luck!
