Chapter 72: Checking into Black Dragon Stronghold, Obtaining the Nine Heaven Thunder Spirit Array!
As for Qingtan beside him, she had been following Lin Yan all along, so naturally, she could clearly notice Lin Yan's changes.
At this moment, she just noticed that Lin Yan suddenly stopped moving forward. Then, a charming smile appeared on his handsome face, seemingly uncontrollable.
Qingtan blinked in confusion and tilted her head to ask Lin Yan, "Brother Lin Yan, what's wrong?"
Lin Yan waved his hand with a smile, "Nothing. Just suddenly thought of something happy."
Qingtan's gaze became increasingly strange as she looked at Lin Yan.
Meanwhile, taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Yan directly said to Qingtan, "Qingtan, let's go to Black Dragon Stronghold."
Qingtan nodded obediently.
The two rode on Xiao Yan and quickly headed towards Black Dragon Stronghold.
However, Black Dragon Stronghold was quite far away, although it was still within the range of Qingyang Town, it belonged to the outskirts.
So even though they were riding Xiao Yan, they were fast, but by the time Lin Yan and Qingtan arrived at Black Dragon Stronghold, they had already spent quite a bit of time.
The two also began to stroll around here. Before long, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in Lin Yan's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully checking into Black Dragon Stronghold!]
[Rewards Obtained: Second-grade Spirit Array Diagram: Nine Heaven Thunder Spirit Array!]
[Rewards Obtained: Second-grade Gathering Spirit Array Diagram!]
Upon hearing the sudden sound from the system, Lin Yan couldn't help but be stunned.
When he successfully came back to his senses, a strong excitement appeared in his eyes!
This is the diagram of a second-grade Spirit Array!
It's exactly what Lin Yan needs right now!
After all, the effect of a first-grade Spirit Array is only effective for martial artists below the Intermediate Earth Element Realm.
Such a Spirit Array was indeed very useful when Lin Yan's strength was still weak.
But as Lin Yan's strength has improved, the effectiveness of such a Spirit Array has become very limited.
These days, Lin Yan was thinking about whether he could get higher-level array diagrams so as not to waste his identity as a Spirit Array Master.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to fall asleep, the system directly sent him a pillow.
Two second-grade Spirit Array diagrams were sent directly.
With these, as long as he learns these two diagrams, Lin Yan's cultivation speed will be faster, and he will have more means in battle.
He quickly went with Qingtan to try to check into some other industries of the Xie Family.
But unfortunately, it seemed that those places could not be checked into.
So after strolling around for a while without any results, Lin Yan simply took Qingtan back to Tie Wood Manor.
"Well, Qingtan, let's part ways here."
Upon arriving at Tie Wood Manor, Lin Yan bid farewell to Qingtan at a fork in the road.
"Brother Lin Yan, I'm very happy today, thank you."
Qingtan smiled at Lin Yan before parting ways.
Before parting, she tiptoed and quietly kissed Lin Yan on the corner of his mouth.
When Lin Yan's gaze turned to her, Qingtan's cheeks turned crimson, and she quickly turned around, taking Xiao Yan with her and leaving as if fleeing for her life.
"Goodbye, Brother Lin Yan, see you tomorrow!"
She quickly left Lin Yan's sight.
As for Lin Yan, after returning home, he immediately began to cultivate.
After all, he gained many benefits from checking in.
Especially the two second-grade Spirit Arrays, once learned, would greatly benefit him.
So along the way, Lin Yan was eager to immerse himself in the cultivation of Spirit Arrays.
"Speaking of which..."
"There doesn't seem to be any movement from the Lei Family."
"Although so many things have happened recently, they seem to be quiet."
Suddenly, Lin Yan thought of the Lei Family.
He felt puzzled by their recent tranquility, but Lin Yan also knew that the Lei Family had already torn their faces with their Lin Family, so the current tranquility could only be said to be the calm before the storm. Once the Lei Family erupts again, what emerges will definitely be a fierce attack like a storm!
"Never mind, too lazy to think about it."
"Improving my own strength is the most important thing."
Shaking his head, Lin Yan finally started his cultivation.
What he needed to practice were Spirit Arrays, and Spirit Arrays were composed of Spirit Seals and Array Diagrams.
At this moment, Lin Yan had the Array Diagrams, so what he needed to cultivate was the Spirit Seals.
Sitting on the bed, Lin Yan closed his eyes.
His hands formed seals, and a dazzling golden spiritual light appeared on his body.
Every time the spiritual light flickered, the elemental energy in his body flowed like liquid, continuously gathering towards Lin Yan's hands.
Lin Yan kept trying to refine new Spirit Seals.
But after successfully refining thirteen or fourteen Spirit Seals, the efficiency of further refinement decreased significantly.
"It seems not that simple."
Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, he could only quickly refine thirteen or fourteen Spirit Seals. However, second-grade Spirit Arrays generally require twenty Spirit Seals to start.
So for Lin Yan, the number of Spirit Seals he could refine was not even enough to construct the most basic second-grade Spirit Array.
Moreover, if he were to set up an array in battle, he would need to be even faster. Otherwise, by the time Lin Yan finished setting up the array slowly, the opponent would have already killed him.
Therefore, Lin Yan estimated that he would need to cultivate until he could freely refine twenty Spirit Seals to consider it a success.
"Continue cultivating!"
He cheered himself up and quickly resumed cultivation.
In the next month or so, Lin Yan continued to cultivate Spirit Seals.
And in his cultivation, the number of Spirit Seals he could quickly refine increased from thirteen or fourteen to sixteen or seventeen.
At this rate, as long as he was given another month, he would be able to quickly refine twenty Spirit Seals in battle.
And this was still considered fast.
If he were to refine them slowly, Lin Yan would have already reached twenty Spirit Seals.
Therefore, at this moment, he could be considered to have almost entered the realm of a second-grade Spirit Array Master.
"Hmm?"
"My spiritual power seems to have increased significantly."
Suddenly, Lin Yan discovered that his spiritual power had increased quite a bit.
After all, refining Spirit Seals mainly consumed elemental energy. Under Lin Yan's continuous control, both his control over elemental energy and his grasp of spiritual power had unconsciously strengthened.
So Lin Yan only now realized that his spiritual power had been enhanced.
Unfortunately, without the method of refining his own life spirit seal, even with such strong spiritual power, he could not condense his own life spirit seal in the Niwan Palace and become a symbol master.
"Lin Dong should have the method of refining the life spirit seal. Find an opportunity to ask him for it."
Lin Yan touched his chin and contemplated.
That thing, Lin Yan remembered that in the original work, Lin Dong seemed to have obtained it by chance. With his relationship with Lin Dong, if he asked for it, Lin Dong would definitely not refuse.
So he just needed to ask him directly when the time came.
"Oh right, since my control over elemental energy has improved so much..."
"The Eight Extremities Collapse that I was about to break through before..."
Suddenly realizing this, Lin Yan's eyes lit up.
He suddenly punched forward.
On his fist, the formidable power of the eight layers of Dark Qi stacked on top of each other, finally turning into a terrifying force, fiercely blasting forward!
