Chapter 49: Returning to Ironwood Village and Starting Spiritual Array Practice
Afterward, Lin Yan and Lin Dong continued to walk forward.
However, when passing by a jewelry store, Lin Yan deliberately stopped and picked out a few items to purchase.
"Brother Lin Yan, I have to say, you really know how to make women happy," Lin Dong remarked sincerely upon seeing this.
Clearing his throat, Lin Yan responded firmly, "What do you mean 'making them happy'? It's called being thoughtful."
They soon left the jewelry store and continued on their way. Before long, they successfully reached their destination and met up with Lin Xiao and the others.
"Dad, how did it go?" Lin Dong, grinning, approached Lin Xiao and asked.
"Hehe, not bad. It's easy to find buyers for Sunstone, and the price we got was good too. We exchanged 300 Sunstones for 32 Sun Pillars," Lin Xiao replied with a smile, clearly satisfied with the transaction.
"Dong'er, Yan'er, here are six Sun Pillars for each of you from the trade. Use them for cultivation," Lin Zhentian, equally satisfied with the transaction, handed over twelve Sun Pillars to Lin Yan and Lin Dong in front of everyone.
This was obviously a significant reward, considering they had only earned thirty-two Sunstones. However, Lin Zhentian, with more authority in the Lin family compared to Lin Xiao, directly handed over nearly half of the Sun Pillars to Lin Yan and Lin Dong, while the rest were for the family's use.
No one objected to Lin Zhentian's arrangement. After all, they understood that Lin Dong and Lin Yan's contributions were immense in earning such a large amount of Sunstones. Moreover, at this moment, the value of Lin Dong and Lin Yan to the Lin family was even greater.
"If you have received Sun Pillars, remember to cultivate diligently. The future of the Lin family depends on you," Lin Zhentian said, not hiding his high regard for Lin Dong and Lin Yan.
The two nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, Lin Mang burst in with a grim expression, saying to Lin Zhentian, "Father, the price of Ironwood has been suppressed significantly. I had to put in a lot of effort to find out. It turns out it's the Lei family's doing."
Everyone was annoyed upon hearing this, but it wasn't time to confront the Lei family yet, so they silently swallowed their anger.
Lin Yan's gaze turned cold. The longer he stayed in the Lin family, the more he felt the kindness of his relatives and the stronger his sense of belonging to the family became. So, at this moment, he was silently contemplating.
It seemed that in the future, he needed to improve his strength faster.
Then, he could pull out the nail that was the Lei family.
Soon after, they left Flame City and hurried back to Ironwood Village.
After all, they had completed what they came here to do, so staying in Flame City any longer was pointless.
As soon as Lin Yan returned to Ironwood Village, he saw Qing Tan and Lin Xiaoxiao waiting at the entrance.
Since Ironwood Village had a Sunstone mine, Lin Zhentian had summoned as many clan members as possible to come here to mine more Sunstones.
"Brother Lin Yan, Brother Lin Dong, you're back," Qing Tan and Lin Xiaoxiao, who had been waiting at the entrance of Ironwood Village for a long time, were delighted to see the two of them. Qing Tan approached them with a smile.
"Yeah, we're back," Lin Dong replied with a smile to Qing Tan.
Lin Yan directly took out two gorgeous pieces of jewelry and handed them to Qing Tan, saying with a smile, "Here, Qing Tan, one is for you, and one is for Aunt Liu. Take them."
Qing Tan naturally felt overjoyed and took the jewelry, feeling reluctant to let go.
She widened her eyes and said to Lin Yan, "Brother Lin Yan, can you help me put on this necklace?"
Lin Yan was happy to oblige, his fingers sliding over Qingtan's neck, causing her ears to turn red. "There, looks great."
Qingtan shyly responded, "Thank you, Brother Lin Yan."
She then joyfully took the gifts back home to her room where Yan was waiting.
Lin Yan soon noticed Lin Xia standing nearby with a plain expression. She kept glancing around, clearly not in the mood to look at Lin Yan.
"What's wrong, Sister Lin Xia, upset?" Lin Yan asked with a smile.
Without looking at him, Lin Xia replied, "Where do you see me upset?"
Lin Yan then presented her gift as well. "Ah, didn't forget about you, Sister Lin Xia. Look, I've prepared a gift for you too."
Lin Xia was somewhat surprised and looked at Lin Yan's hand, where she found another bracelet.
She smiled, but said stubbornly, "Didn't expect you to remember your sister when there's something good."
Lin Yan chuckled in response. "How could I forget? Forget who my sister is?"
Lin Xia finally snorted, "Consider yourself having a conscience, you little rascal!"
Soon after, everyone returned home together to have dinner. After all, they had traveled back from Flame City and it was almost dinner time. Moreover, with the earnings from today, they had reason to celebrate.
After a hearty dinner, everyone dispersed to their respective homes.
"Practice well, Lin Dong. Once I'm done with my tasks, I'll come to you for that manual."
Before parting ways, Lin Yan reminded Lin Dong one last time. Since they didn't need to mine, it was best to focus all their efforts on cultivation during this time.
"Understood, Brother Lin Yan."
Lin Dong nodded seriously, taking his words to heart.
After patting Lin Dong's shoulder, Lin Yan left quickly.
Afterwards, he hurried home.
After a quick shower to wash off the sweat of the day, Lin Yan began to meditate.
Once he restored his mental state to its peak, Lin Yan retrieved the rewards he had obtained from the system.
[Fundamental Theory Book for Spiritual Array Master!]
[First-tier Array Diagram for Gathering Spirits!]
[First-tier Array Diagram for Fire Spirits!]
Looking at these treasures from the system, a fervent light gleamed in Lin Yan's eyes.
As long as he mastered these items, from now on, he would be a spiritual array master and could construct spiritual arrays!
The Medicine Elder's spiritual sense happened to be released at that moment, and he immediately noticed the items Lin Yan had taken out.
He became very interested.
"Oh, young one, a spiritual array master?"
"What kind of rare profession is this?"
