In Martial Universe, Signed in at the Start with Yao Lao's Ring

"You got it. This is also a Spirit Array, a First-Grade Spirit Convergence Array, a cultivation-type array."

"The one outside that you encountered was a First-Grade Flame Array, an offensive Spirit Array."

Lin Yan did not conceal anything from Lin Dong.

Upon hearing Lin Dong's question, he simply smiled and explained it to him.

"There are so many different kinds of Spirit Arrays?"

"That's incredible."

Lin Dong was dumbfounded as he listened, unable to help but express his amazement.

Especially after experiencing firsthand the incredibly dense spiritual energy within Lin Yan's room, he was even more envious.

After all, even though he had not yet tried cultivating in such an environment, it was obvious to anyone that cultivating in a place like this would yield twice the results with half the effort.

Thus, Lin Dong scratched his head awkwardly and curiously asked Lin Yan, "Brother Lin Yan, this thing about Spirit Arrays…"

"Can you explain it to me? I find it really interesting."

Lin Yan chuckled upon hearing this and agreed.

"Come, have a seat over here. I'll make some tea for you, and we can talk while we drink."

Lin Yan invited Lin Dong to sit nearby, then boiled some water to make tea, personally serving Lin Dong.

He soon began introducing Lin Dong to the basic knowledge about Spirit Arrays.

Things like the principles of Spirit Arrays, their functions, their classifications, and so on.

Lin Yan practically explained everything to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong's eyes lit up with excitement. He found Spirit Arrays to be fascinating.

After all, after listening to Lin Yan's explanation, he realized that this profession was incredibly powerful.

Not only could it construct Spirit Convergence Arrays for cultivation, but it could also create defensive arrays, offensive arrays, and even confinement arrays.

To be honest, this was far superior to Seal Masters.

While Seal Masters were certainly a powerful profession, at their core, they still primarily served combat purposes.

Spirit Array Masters, on the other hand, had a much broader range of applications.

But the most important thing was…

At this moment, Lin Dong had personally witnessed the effects of the First-Grade Spirit Convergence Array and the First-Grade Flame Array.

So he was extremely optimistic about this profession.

After all, just two First-Grade Spirit Arrays had such terrifying effects.

If they were higher-grade arrays, wouldn't they be even more incredible?

"Brother Lin Yan, I have a request..."

Thinking of this, Lin Dong scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed as he spoke to Lin Yan.

"Haha, you brat, you want to learn it?"

"Just take it and study it, there's no need to ask."

Lin Yan said with a chuckle, directly tossing the book that contained the training method over to Lin Dong.

Lin Yan never had the intention of hiding anything.

After all, the knowledge was available, but in the end, whoever could master it better would depend on their own abilities. Lin Dong was family—if he wanted to learn, then he should go ahead and learn.

"Thank you, Brother."

Lin Dong was overjoyed and directly thanked Lin Yan.

After that, he immediately began following the descriptions in the book, attempting to construct a Spiritual Seal.

However, from this point onward, the real challenge for Lin Dong began.

After all, the practice of Spiritual Arrays in the Great Thousand World wasn't considered particularly rare.

But in the end, very few could actually become Spiritual Array Masters.

It wasn't because they lacked the opportunity to learn, but rather, just like Alchemy Masters, this profession required an exceptionally high threshold.

Without a certain level of talent, mastering it was nearly impossible.

After reading through the training method, Lin Dong confidently started practicing Spiritual Seals.

Unfortunately, it seemed that in this regard, his talent was not particularly outstanding.

It took him nearly half an hour just to barely manage to create his first Spiritual Seal. After recalling the book's introduction, he realized that he had merely met the minimum standard for practicing Spiritual Arrays.

As a result, Lin Dong couldn't help but turn to Lin Yan and ask, "By the way, Brother Lin Yan, how long did it take you to refine your first Spiritual Seal when you first practiced this?"

Lin Yan's expression turned a bit odd, and he looked at Lin Dong as he asked, "Are you sure you want to hear it? I'm afraid it might be too discouraging."

Lin Dong grinned and replied, "Brother Lin Yan, just say it. I won't be discouraged."

Hearing this, Lin Yan simply told him the truth, "Less than half an hour—over ten of them."

Lin Dong's mouth twitched on the spot.

Even though he had already mentally prepared himself for this, learning the truth still hit him hard.

As expected, Brother Lin Yan's talent was just too monstrous.

Less than half an hour and more than ten Spiritual Seals—he couldn't even begin to compare.

Lin Dong felt that perhaps Spiritual Arrays were not for him after all.

"What's wrong? Giving up?" Lin Yan easily saw through his thoughts and asked with a teasing smile.

"Yeah! Looks like I don't have the talent for this."

"Besides, biting off more than I can chew isn't wise. I don't have the kind of monstrous talent that you do, Brother Lin Yan. I can't learn so many things at once without it affecting my training."

"So I'll just forget about it. I'll focus on refining my cultivation and enhancing my Mental Energy. This profession is indeed powerful, but it's not for me."

Lin Dong spoke to Lin Yan with a hint of regret, but he was someone who understood his own limits. If something wasn't meant for him, he wouldn't stubbornly force himself.

"This is fine too."

"I'll come by your place later and set up a First-Grade Spirit Convergence Array for you. That way, you can use it for your training as well."

Lin Yan nodded at Lin Dong as he spoke.

At that moment, something piqued his curiosity, and he turned to Lin Dong and asked, "By the way, Lin Dong, did you come to see me for something specific today?"

Only then did Lin Dong remember his purpose for coming. He immediately retrieved the Spiritual Movement Chapter from his Qiankun Bag and handed it to Lin Yan.

"I almost forgot."

"Brother Lin Yan, I actually came here today to return this to you."

"This thing is used for training Mental Energy. I've pretty much learned everything I needed from it, and keeping it with me now is pointless. So, I figured I should bring it back to you before you needed it."

Lin Dong explained to Lin Yan.

"Oh? You mastered it this quickly?"

"That's impressive!"

Lin Yan chuckled and praised Lin Dong's talent in Seal Mastery.

Lin Dong smiled and nodded. If there was one thing he was confident about, it was his talent in Mental Energy.

After all, in this recent training, he had achieved remarkable progress in just a short time.

"Hey, how about this, Brother Lin Yan? Why don't you start training in Mental Energy now?"

"I've already gone through the process once, so I have some insight into it. If you start learning now, I can guide you and answer any questions you might have. That way, you'll pick it up even faster."

As he thought about it, Lin Dong turned toward Lin Yan and proposed his idea.

Lin Yan figured it was worth a try.

After all, Lin Dong's Mental Energy talent was exceptional, but he wasn't sure about his own. If he struggled with it, Lin Dong would at least be there to help guide him.

"Alright, I'll give it a shot."

With that, Lin Yan agreed.

Then, following the instructions detailed in the Spiritual Movement Chapter, he immediately began training in Mental Energy.

Surprisingly, it seemed he had quite the talent in this area as well.

After carefully reading through the training method, Lin Yan went through a complete cycle of practice.

The obscure and mysterious incantations gradually surfaced in his mind, and his focus became more intense.

Sitting motionless like a statue for over ten minutes, Lin Yan suddenly felt a surge of excitement. A faint thread of Mental Energy seeped out from his mind and spread outward, extending in all directions.

In that instant, Lin Yan felt as if everything around him was within his grasp. The entire manor, the swaying grass, the rustling breeze—nothing could escape his perception.

He retracted his Mental Energy and couldn't help but open his eyes, letting out an excited exclamation:

"So this is Mental Energy? Lin Dong, this is amazing!"

He was eager to share his excitement with Lin Dong, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Dong staring at him in complete shock—his expression filled with disbelief, as if he was looking at a monster.

"What's wrong, Lin Dong? Why do you look so weird?"
