Martial Universe: Starting with Lin Langtian, who crippled Lin Dong's father.

Chapter 13 The Chilling Aura

Lin Langtian looked out the window and found that the sky was still the same as before he entered the Ancestral Stone, with little change.

It seems that the passage of time inside the Ancestral Stone is quite different from that outside.

"Lin Bao!"

Before he could finish speaking, a burly figure appeared in front of Lin Langtian.

"Young master, what are your orders?"

Lin Bao bowed and said.

"Has anything happened in the clan recently?"

Lin Bao thought about it carefully and replied, "The Qingyue Pool in Shanhai City will open next month. Miss Qing'er has specially come out of seclusion to prepare for it. The seed selection for the Great Yan Dynasty will begin three months later. If neither of these matters matters, then it's nothing serious."

"Will seed selection be after March?"

Lin Langtian frowned slightly. This wasn't quite what he remembered. In the original story, the seed selection took place a month after the clan competition. How come now…

"Yes, young master. Because of the opening of Qingyue Pool, the clan leader specially moved the clan competition forward by two months to give the disciples in the clan time to prepare."

This Qingyue Pool is not mentioned in the original novel, so it must be quite risky. It would not be worth it to go there rashly.

However, he must secure a spot in the seed selection, as it is the only path to the Hundred Dynasties War, at least for Lin Langtian in the short term.

But my current strength is too weak. The weakest I can participate in the seed selection is probably at the Creation Realm, and I want to improve by five major realms within three months...

Then the only option left is to become a talisman master.

Lin Langtian pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Go to the underground market in Qingyang Town. Buy back all the ancient wood, especially the ones covered in moss—don't miss a single one!"

"Yes, young master!"

"Wait...not just that underground market, but every trading area in Qingyang Town. Go there and buy all the ancient wood you find!"

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Langtian continued.

If you want to pursue the path of a talisman master, then you can't miss the most basic Ancient Vortex Talisman Seal.

Only by obtaining the Ancient Vortex Seal can one find the location of the two Ancestral Seals at the top of the Seal Master's Tower...

This thing is interconnected; every part is indispensable.

However, a span of ten years is too long. All we know now is that the ancient vortex talisman will appear here in ten years, but ten years ago, who knows where it would have appeared?

Do your best and leave the rest to fate.

After waving Lin Bao away, Lin Langtian got up and headed towards Qing Tan's room.

According to Qingtan, the burst of Yin-cold energy within his body should have occurred within the next day or two. As evening approaches, if it happens today, then…

As expected, as soon as they arrived outside the Qingtan Gate, they suddenly felt a pure, cold aura erupt from inside the room, which even affected Lin Langtian at the door.

Lin Langtian quickly focused his mental energy around the room to block out any noise from inside.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Bao was also startled by this chilling aura and rushed towards Lin Langtian's location.

"Stay at the door and don't let anyone in!"

Lin Langtian gave a few words of advice and then hurriedly entered the room.

The first thing you see is a sea of ​​ice crystals; most of the room is covered in tiny ice shards. Shifting your gaze to the bed, you see a petite figure curled up in the blankets.

Lin Langtian walked quickly closer and found that Qingtan's face was pale and her hair was covered with a layer of ice crystals. At this moment, she was so cold that her mind was a little blurry.

Without further thought, Lin Langtian placed his palm on Qingtan's forehead and slowly activated the Ancestral Stone. A suction force emanated from his palm, and in an instant, the yin and cold energy that Qingtan was emitting was completely absorbed by the Ancestral Stone.

With a flick of the wrist, several translucent white crystals appeared in the palm of the hand.

Lin Langtian looked at the so-called Yin Pearl with some curiosity, picked one up, and examined it closely. A chilling aura spread out from it.

"Hiss, if I absorb this stuff, it will probably improve the quality of my core formation in the future."

Looking at Qingtan, who had fainted on the bed, Lin Langtian frowned slightly. The ice crystals on the bed had slowly begun to melt into water droplets, causing the sheets to gradually become wet.

Fine, I'll see this through.

Lin Langtian picked up Qingtan and called over a maid from the inn, asking her to change Qingtan's clothes and also to change her room.

Although the maid was somewhat surprised, she still respectfully took the girl and walked towards the room next door.

Lin Langtian turned around and went back to his room, only to find the floor piled high with wooden blocks.

He picked up one of the moss-covered wooden blocks and examined it closely, then asked Lin Bao, who was standing nearby, "Is that all?"

"There are still many small markets that we haven't had time to visit. This is the first batch; there are still many more that we haven't acquired yet."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After Lin Langtian finished speaking, he focused his gaze on the wooden block again. Lin Bao also bowed to Lin Langtian and then disappeared.

After searching through several pieces of wood, I finally sensed a strange fluctuation in one of the completely black logs.

It originates from fluctuations in mental energy!

Lin Langtian was instantly excited. He never expected to encounter something that would appear ten years later here. What luck...

"Hiss... Something's not right. This mental power is incredibly strong?"

Lin Langtian frowned, somewhat puzzled.

I remember that in the original story, the spiritual power that sealed the ancient tree was extremely weak, far less powerful than it is now...
