Martial Arts, the Fairy's Cultivation

Lin Dong casually dealt with a second-level talisman master as if he had done something insignificant. Without pausing, he walked past the crowd toward the Talisman Master Association.

"stop!"

Cao Zhu, who had just gotten up from the ground, had a gloomy look on his face. This nobody who had appeared out of nowhere dared to embarrass him in public. His disheveled appearance, rolling around like a gourd, had not only made him a laughing stock among the guys in Yan City, but even his fellow disciples in Tianhuo City were looking at him strangely. If he didn't get his revenge, how could he face anyone in the world?

swish swish —

With a flick of his sleeve, Cao Zhu summoned three snow-white short swords that hovered in front of him. Wisps of coldness seeped from the swords, piercing the spirit and causing a sharp pain.

"It's actually the Ice Profound Sword?"

Upon seeing this, everyone's eyes narrowed immediately. That top-tier talisman treasure, forged from Ice Profound Iron, was among the best in the entire Skyfire City Talisman Master Association. It seemed that Cao Zhu was serious about regaining face.

With the Ice Profound Sword in hand, Cao Zhu seemed to have gained confidence, and once again revealed a smile of complete control as he blocked Lin Dong's path.

"Don't underestimate me, kid!"

Seeing that the other party was so ungrateful, Lin Dong frowned slightly. He suddenly stretched out a palm, without even using his Yuan Power. Everyone only saw a blur. The three short swords that exuded a chill were firmly grasped in Lin Dong's hands with his bare hands, emitting a mournful sound of metal clashing.

"What did you do...?"

Disbelief appeared in Cao Zhu's eyes. How strong must one's physical body be to withstand a talisman treasure with bare hands?

"snort!"

Lin Dong's gaze turned cold, and he unleashed a boundless aura of Yuan Power, instantly forcing the helpless Cao Zhu to the ground. Then, as he passed by Cao Zhu, he casually kicked him to the side of the road.

Don't block the way.

At this moment, the crowd in front of the Talisman Master Association realized what was happening and looked at the calm and composed figure with horrified eyes.

"Perfected Yuan Dan Realm!"

Looking at Lin Dong's excessively youthful face, some people couldn't help but twitch their eyes. Only a few senior experts in Tianhuo City could rival his strength. Such a young Yuan Dan Realm Great Perfection cultivator was truly an eye-opener today.

Can't be bothered.

The people of Tianhuo City quickly made way for Lin Dong, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at him. The talisman masters of Yan City also dared not be negligent and retreated to the sides. The originally congested street was instantly cleared, as if it were someone's private passage.

Lin Dong remained calm and composed, casually putting away the three Ice Profound Swords. He and the white-clad beauty behind him, watched by everyone, went straight to the entrance of the Talisman Master Association.

"Lin Dong, are you going to the Talisman Master Association?"

As they passed each other, Zi Yue noticed the former's somewhat familiar face, and a strange light flickered in her beautiful eyes.

After a period of time, the life-or-death battle that happened not long ago has spread throughout Yan City. Zi Yue, as the daughter of the city lord, naturally knows about it. However, the fame that comes from Lin Dong's powerful Yuan Power cultivation is not something that seems to have much to do with the Talisman Master circle. Therefore, it is surprising that Lin Dong appeared at the Talisman Master Association.

"Oh? May I ask who you are, young lady...?"

Lin Dong paused slightly, looking at the icy beauty in front of him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Ziyue, Master Yan's disciple, are you going to the Talisman Master Association? I can lead the way."

Remembering her father's instructions, the aloof beauty took the initiative to build a good relationship with Lin Dong. Before today, she might have had some reservations, but after witnessing Lin Dong stand up for the talisman masters of Yan City, she felt a growing curiosity about the man before her.

"Then I'll trouble you, young lady. Let's go inside."

Lin Dong nodded slightly to Zi Yue, then looked at the stunning beauty beside him. Hearing Lin Dong's gentle tone, Zi Yue finally noticed the woman in white before her. Her serene and ethereal beauty caused a flash of amazement in her eyes.

It wasn't until Zi Yue led the two into the Talisman Master Association that she belatedly realized how unfathomable the woman in white was behind her low-key demeanor.

Based on some information from the City Lord's Mansion, the person in front of him should be the mysterious woman behind Lin Dong, who is said to be even stronger than his father, a powerful cultivator at the Creation Realm.

He looks to be about the same age as me, yet he has already reached the third stage of the Creation Realm. How did this person cultivate?

Zi Yue subtly observed the ethereal beauty in white, her heart inevitably stirred, but she remained outwardly composed.

"May I ask what brings you two to the Talisman Master's place of business?"

Seeing that Mu Zi didn't intend to speak, Lin Dong took over the conversation: "I'm here to get my talisman master level certified."

"Oh? It seems Ziyue was mistaken. Young Master Lin Dong is actually a talisman master."

Zi Yue's cold, pretty face flashed with surprise. She hadn't expected that Lin Dong not only surpassed his peers in Yuan Power, but also cultivated spiritual power. He was truly remarkable. No wonder her father valued him so much.

"Hehe, it was just a fluke, Miss Ziyue, there's no need to be modest."

Lin Dong smiled calmly. Speaking of which, he was able to cultivate spiritual power thanks to Master Yan's guidance. In a way, he was also considered half a member of the Yan City Talisman Master Association.

Seeing that Lin Dong was unwilling to elaborate, Zi Yue, who was not one to talk much, stopped probing and silently led the two toward Master Yan's residence.

Walking through the vast mansion of the Talisman Master Association, Zi Yue and Mu Zi each occupied one side, walking side by side with Lin Dong.

Born into nobility, Zi Yue's appearance and temperament are impeccable. The two aloof and beautiful women standing together are undoubtedly a stunning sight to behold.

Although both have a cool and aloof style, they are fundamentally quite different.

Zi Yue's coldness was acquired, giving people the impression of simply being unapproachable; in contrast, Mu Zi was cold to the bone. Her transcendent temperament, though not outwardly aloof, was palpable to everyone except Lin Dong.

A moment later, the three arrived at a quiet courtyard and saw an old man in gray robes who was resting with his eyes closed.

"We meet again, Master Yan." Lin Dong clasped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the gray-robed elder.

Master Yan opened his eyes and looked at the two of them, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. In particular, the faint spiritual fluctuations emanating from Lin Dong's body made Yan Xuan's expression freeze, and a hint of doubt seemed to appear on his aged face.

"Lin Dong, why do I feel that your mental strength has become much stronger again?"

When they last met, Lin Dong had just condensed his natal talisman without any instruction, which amazed Yan Xuan. Now, only a few months later, the former's aura has become so strong that Yan Xuan, a fourth-level talisman master, can hardly understand it.

"If you'd like, we can test your mental strength to satisfy the old man's curiosity."

Master Yan smiled gently and took out a crystal ball from his Qiankun bag. With a light tap of his aged fingers, the crystal ball floated in front of Lin Dong.
