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

Chapter 18 Purple Clouds

"I dare not accept such praise, young master. You flatter me."

Upon seeing the white-robed man bow first, Master Yan hurriedly returned the bow.

At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems they're not here to cause trouble.

After all, the person in front of him was unfathomably powerful, and his mental strength was far beyond what he could match.

It's even highly likely that he's... a spirit talisman master.

Moreover, he has the appearance of a young man, looking no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, presumably a hero cultivated by some powerful, reclusive force.

In the blink of an eye, Master Yan was already in front of Lin Langtian.

"Shall we go inside and talk?" Lin Langtian glanced at the crowd of onlookers and smiled calmly at Master Yan.

"Very well, please, young master!"

Master Yan also gave a few instructions to the steward beside him, and the two of them headed into the building of strange objects.

"Oh, young master, are you a member of the Lin clan?" Master Yan picked up the tea offered by a maid and took a small sip.

"Yes, I cultivated within the clan in my early years and rarely left Lin City."

"Oh……"

The two chatted casually, exchanging a few words here and there. Although it was their first meeting, they acted like old friends who had known each other for many years.

Master Yan was initially cautious, asking only trivial questions. However, he gradually relaxed after discovering that Lin Langtian didn't seem to mind these questions.

The atmosphere here seems harmonious and relaxed.

"May I ask what brings Young Master Langtian here?"

"The reason for coming here is the opening of the annual Rune Master Tower."

Lin Langtian looked at Master Yan and said slowly.

"The Talisman Master Tower?" Master Yan seemed somewhat surprised. "Young Master Lin's strength has probably already broken through to the Spirit Talisman Master level. Isn't participating in this Talisman Master Tower a bit too much..."

"Is this a bit like bullying the weak?" Lin Langtian smiled calmly, picking up where Master Yan left off.

Master Yan gave an awkward laugh. "It's not that. I see that Young Master Lin is quite young, so there's no question of him bullying the younger one. It's just that although this Talisman Master Tower can be of some help to you, I'm afraid the effect will be minimal."

Lin Langtian merely glanced at Master Yan indifferently, without saying a word.

The latter immediately understood, shut up and changed the subject.

The host and guests seemed to be having a great time...

Yancheng.

In an ordinary manor.

Inside a bamboo hut, Master Yan, dressed in gray clothes, sat on the ground, with a young man sitting beside him.

"Master, does that person really possess the skills of a spirit talisman master?"

Seemingly somewhat disbelieving, the young man asked.

"I'm afraid it's more than that. In my guess, he must be at least an intermediate-level spirit talisman master."

Master Yan said calmly.

The young man's face twitched in disbelief. "Why would such a prodigy come to my Talisman Master Association seeking opportunity?"

"I don't know either," Master Yan said slowly. "This Lin clan is no ordinary family. They've cultivated such a monster without saying a word."

After a moment of melancholy, he spoke again: "Ziyun, no matter why he has come, remember, you must not clash with him!"

The man named Ziyun said helplessly, "How could this be, Master? I'm not stupid. I'm trying my best to befriend you, how could a conflict have occurred?"

After a moment of contemplation, Master Yan spoke again: "Tomorrow, you should pay them a visit. Prepare some generous gifts from home, but they don't need to be too heavy. After all, the things you can present are probably already something they're tired of seeing."

"Yes, Master."

The young man also replied with a solemn expression.

……

"Three more days."

Lin Langtian stood by the window, gazing at the scenery outside, murmuring to himself.

After chatting with Master Yan yesterday, I was arranged to stay in the top-tier room of this Wonders Building, and learned from him about the opening of the Talisman Master Tower.

"The Ancestral Symbol must be obtained!"

Lin Langtian looked out the window. The streets were bustling with people, even more so than yesterday. This was probably because the Talisman Master Tower was about to open, and many of the people who had come were Talisman Masters.

"Um?"

A faint spiritual fluctuation came from outside the door, and Lin Langtian also turned his gaze toward the doorway.

Sure enough, a soft knock came at the door a second later.

"Yan Cheng, Zi Yun, have come to pay a visit to Brother Lin!"

Ziyun, that sounds familiar...

Lin Langtian raised his hand and waved, and the door opened gently.

Immediately afterwards, a figure walked in from outside the door and bowed to Lin Langtian again.

He carefully examined the newcomer. He was a young man dressed in a purple brocade robe, and he guessed that he was a young master from Yan City.

"Who are you……"

"My name is Ziyun, I am from Yancheng, and my master is Master Yan."

"Master Yan's disciple." Lin Langtian suddenly realized, and the name in his memory seemed to overlap as well.

"Indeed, my master instructed me to come and pay my respects to Brother Lin. If Brother Lin is interested, we can take a stroll together."

Ziyun said respectfully.

Do you still remember Purple Moon? |ω｀)
