Lin Mu chuckled and said, "Luck is also a kind of strength."
As they walked, Lin Mu chuckled and told Lin Yi about some things concerning the Lin clan.
Elder Lin Mu was not originally part of Lin Langtian's faction, and he disliked some of Lin Langtian's practices, but he had a great deal of goodwill towards Lin Yi.
Lin Yi followed Lin Mu, walking for a long time through the vast clan compound that resembled a maze, before finally arriving at a magnificent hall.
At this moment, there were already some figures in the hall. These were all elders of the Lin clan, and at the head of the table was Lin Fan, the patriarch of the Lin clan whom they had met before.
"Clan leader, Lin Yi has arrived," Lin Mu said, bowing to clan leader Lin Fan.
Lin Yi also gave Lin Fan a slight bow.
Lin Fan smiled and nodded, glancing around before fixing his gaze on Lin Yi, and said, "Lin Yi, have you ever heard of the Great Yan Dynasty's Seed War?"
"No," Lin Yi shook his head slightly and said.
“Every twenty years, the top powers of the Great Yan Dynasty will clash…” Lin Fan smiled slightly and recounted the story of the Seed War to Lin Yi.
After the introductions were finished, Lin Fan stared at Lin Yi and said, "Originally, my Lin clan planned to send Lin Langtian this time, but now, I hope you will represent the Lin clan in the Seed Battle."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "I'm afraid this battle of seeds is not as simple as it seems?"
"That's right, the five who emerge victorious from the Seed Battle will be qualified to enter the Holy Spirit Pool. Furthermore, these five will represent the Great Yan Dynasty in the Hundred Dynasties War!"
Lin Fan stared at Lin Yi, and his expression became very serious as he spoke.
"Holy Spirit Pool, the Great War of a Hundred Dynasties..." Lin Yi murmured, his gaze distant.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Ling Qingzhu, with whom he had shared intimate moments in the ancient tomb.
It's been more than two years since we parted ways!
In addition, Lin Yi was also quite looking forward to some of the opportunities that might arise during the Hundred Dynasties War.
“Alright, I am willing to represent my clan in the Seed Battle!” Lin Yi said after a long pause.
Seeing that Lin Yi had agreed, a satisfied smile appeared on Lin Fan's face.
Lin Yi's strength was so great that it even gave him a sense of danger.
With Lin Yi participating in this seeding battle, they are sure to be among the top five, which will be of great benefit to the Lin clan.
"Hehe, I just introduced you to the Battle of Seeds. Next, I'll tell you about the Hundred Dynasties War..." Lin Fan said with a smile.
Lin Yi smiled and interrupted Lin Fan: "Thank you for your kindness, Clan Chief, but I have already learned about the situation of the Hundred Dynasties War through other channels. If there is nothing else, I would like to go to the clan's treasury to select some treasures first."
Lin Fan gave Lin Yi a deep look and slowly said, "Very well. Since you already know about the Hundred Dynasties War, I won't go into details."
"I hope you can stand out in the Hundred Dynasties War and gain entry into those super sects. At that time, the entire Great Yan Dynasty will be protected because of you, and your family will become one of the most distinguished people in the entire dynasty!"
"A super sect? I will go," Lin Yi said with a faint smile, his tone full of confidence.
Looking at the confident Lin Yi, Lin Fan, for some reason, had no doubt about his words.
At this moment, Lin Fan made a decision in his heart: he would definitely take better care of the Lin family of Yancheng in the future, so as to deepen Lin Yi's feelings for the Lin clan.
"By the way, I heard that you once severely injured Wang Yan of the Wang clan in the Great Wilderness County?" Lin Fan asked suddenly, as if he had just thought of something.
Lin Yi smiled mockingly, "What? The clan leader wouldn't be like Lin Langtian and make me apologize to them, would he?"
“My Lin clan is not afraid of the Wang clan, and we will never apologize,” Lin Fan said with a smile, shaking his head. “I brought this up because I hope you will be careful of Wang Yan’s elder brother, Wang Zhong, in the seed selection competition.”
“This Wang Zhong is no ordinary person. Back when he was only at the Shaping Realm, he defeated a Qi Creation Realm expert. Now, after many years of cultivation, his strength is even more formidable. He can be considered a formidable opponent for you in this selection competition.”
"Thank you for the reminder, clan leader. I will be careful," Lin Yi nodded slightly, but he didn't take it too seriously.
Even without using the Blood Spirit Puppet, in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, only Mo Jingtian of the royal family is someone he should be wary of.
If the Blood Spirit Puppet is added, he will be absolutely invincible in the entire Great Yan Dynasty!
Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, "Alright, there's still a month until the seed selection, so you should focus on your cultivation. As for now, let Elder Lin Mu take you to the clan's treasury to select some treasures."
"Thank you, patriarch!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi stood up and thanked Lin Fan. Then, together with Elder Lin Mu, they headed towards the clan's treasury.
Chapter 141 Prison Peak, Secluded Cultivation! [Please Read On]
Lin Yi followed Elder Lin Mu through the complex interior of the clan, and after about half an hour, they finally arrived at the location of the clan's treasury.
There, at the foot of a steep cliff, Lin Yi and Lin Mu stopped.
Around the cliff, some elegant pavilions are hidden among the lush greenery, appearing and disappearing, creating a rather tranquil environment.
At the cliff in front of Lin Yi, there was a heavy stone door, from which faint energy fluctuations emanated.
Moreover, at this moment, several elders were standing at the stone gate, and the one leading them was an elder dressed in a black robe.
"This is Elder Lin Zhi, who also manages the clan's treasury," Lin Mu said to Lin Yi, then looked at the black-robed elder and said, "Open the stone gate."
The black-robed elder named Lin Zhi gave Lin Yi a deep look, and then waved his hand.
Upon seeing him wave his hand, the elders behind him simultaneously launched energy waves toward the massive stone gate.
Instantly, the stone door trembled, and finally slowly cracked open, from which an astonishing energy fluctuation surged forth.
"You may not stay in the clan's treasury for more than a month. In addition, you may only take one treasure. Otherwise, if you are discovered, everything will be taken back immediately, including what originally belonged to you."
The black-robed elder named Lin Zhi looked at Lin Yi, his voice somewhat distant.
Lin Zhi originally supported Lin Langtian, but unfortunately Lin Langtian died at Lin Yi's hands. He actually harbored hostility towards Lin Yi, but given the current situation, he had no other choice.
Lin Yi nodded slightly, and then stepped directly into the cracked stone door.
"Close the clan's hideout!"
Lin Zhi looked at Lin Yi's retreating figure and said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the elders nodded and then manipulated the stone door to slowly close it.
"Lin Zhi, although you are in charge of this clan's treasury, you must not do anything underhanded. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the clan leader will not let you off easily," Lin Mu said calmly, staring at Lin Zhi.
"No need for your trouble," Lin Zhi sneered, and with a flick of his sleeve, he led several elders to a nearby pavilion.
Watching Lin Zhi and the others leap onto a nearby pavilion, Lin Mu frowned, lingered there for a moment, and then turned and left.
Watching Lin Mu's departing figure, one of the elders on the pavilion suddenly said to Lin Zhi, "Elder Lin Zhi, should we do something?"
Lin Zhi's expression shifted for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "Forget it. Lang Tian is dead. What's the point of taking any more unnecessary actions? It would only anger the clan leader and be a loss for us."
Now, clan leader Lin Fan has decided to let Lin Yi represent the Lin clan in the Seed Battle, which clearly shows that he values Lin Yi highly.
If Lin Langtian were still alive, their actions in teaching Lin Yi a lesson on his behalf would also strengthen their relationship with Lin Langtian.
But now, it's really not worth offending the exceptionally talented Lin Yi for the sake of the deceased Lin Langtian.
Upon hearing this, the other elders immediately fell silent.
……
The moment Lin Yi entered the stone gate, a strong light shone in his face, causing him to squint slightly as a reflex, and it took him a moment to adjust.
What appeared before Lin Yi was a huge stone cave. Inside the cave, there were curtains of light. At the top of the cave, which was hundreds of feet high, there were some holes through which rays of sunlight poured down, making the light here even stronger.
In Lin Yi's vision, he could see clusters of light inside the surrounding light screen, and within those lights were various spiritual treasures.
"The spiritual treasures here are all low-grade items. The best ones are only high-grade spiritual treasures. The real treasures are deeper inside," Lin Yi said with a strange laugh as he looked around. Suddenly, Little Marten appeared and pointed to the depths of the clan's treasury.
"Then let's continue exploring," Lin Yi smiled slightly, not surprised at all.
Inside the enormous stone cave, dazzling light surged from all directions, creating an extremely magnificent sight. An ordinary person would likely linger there for an unknown amount of time, but Lin Yi ignored it and strode towards the depths of the clan's treasury.
The area of this clan's territory was quite large. Lin Yi wandered around it for nearly half an hour before reaching the deepest part.
Here, numerous lights illuminate the path of light, and at the end of each path lies a stone platform shrouded in light. On that platform float various powerful spiritual treasures, elixirs, martial arts techniques, and more.
Moreover, the spiritual energy here is quite abundant; some of it has even condensed into a thin mist.
"Beneath this clan's treasure trove lies an extremely large array. This array continuously absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and pours it here, using the spiritual energy to nurture these treasures," Little Marten said to Lin Yi, sensing the abundant spiritual energy.
Lin Yi nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and then asked, "Can you tell which spiritual treasure on which stone platform is the best?"
"There are four Earth-grade spiritual treasures there, but there are arrays around them," the little sable said, pointing in a direction with its paw.
Lin Yi followed the gaze of the little sable and saw a dazzling light screen not far in front of him.
Inside that light screen were four floating orbs of light, all of which displayed powerful fluctuations.
Lin Yi strode forward and walked to the light screen. He easily broke through the outer array, and the appearances of the spiritual treasures in the four light orbs were clearly visible in his eyes.
On the left is a soft sword, entirely blood red, coiled up like a blood python.
Next to it was a yellowish tortoise shell, only the size of a palm, covered with strange patterns.
The last two magical treasures were a black spear and a gray suit of armor.
The four magical treasures were suspended above a huge stone platform, but because they were quite spiritual, they all flew up on their own.
Lin Yi waved his hand, dispersing the Yuan energy mist in front of him, and discovered that below the four Earth-grade spiritual treasures, in the center of the stone platform, there was a black object the size of a palm.
It was a small mountain carving, placed on a stone platform, seemingly as decoration.
Lin Yi's eyes lit up. He stretched out his palm and slowly grasped the small black mountain. He pretended to sense it for a moment, and then said, "This is also a special Earth-rank spiritual treasure."
"This is also a Earth-grade spiritual treasure?" The little sable was slightly surprised upon hearing this, as it hadn't been able to tell.
Lin Yi didn't speak. With a wave of his hand, the Spirit Nourishing Futon appeared before him. He then mobilized an equal amount of Yuan Power and Spiritual Power to form Essence Power, which then enveloped the small black mountain.
With the infusion of vital energy, the already dark mountain became even more profound.
"Buzz!"
When this profound and intense feeling reached a certain point, the mountain peak finally emitted a strange humming sound.
As this voice rang out, Lin Yi noticed that the light emanating from the four Earth-grade spiritual treasures beside him had dimmed considerably.
"Hey, looks like we've struck gold again!" Little Mink's eyes lit up at the sight.
Lin Yi smiled slightly, used his essence to gradually lift the small black mountain, then planted a blood seal on it. With the help of the stone talisman, he successfully subdued it and also discovered that the three words "Heavy Prison Peak" were engraved on the small mountain.
"Now that I have the spiritual treasure, I will use the abundant Yuan energy within this clan's treasury to go into seclusion for a while before going out," Lin Yi said with a smile, looking at the Yuan energy mist that permeated the entire clan's treasury after putting away the Heavy Prison Peak.
“Yes, I’ll protect you. This is indeed a good place for cultivation,” Little Mink nodded and said.
Lin Yi smiled slightly, then moved and leaped into the air, sat down cross-legged, and with a light twist of his hands, a black hole rapidly expanded from behind him.
