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

"So that's how it is… That's fine. Yan City is much larger than Qingyang Town, and for someone like you, the opportunities for growth will be far greater. Going to Yan City is indeed a good choice."

Upon hearing Lin Yan's decision, Lin Zhentian and the others were momentarily stunned.

However, Lin Zhentian did not object. Given Lin Yan's current strength at the Yuan Dan Stage, staying in Qingyang Town would indeed limit his development.

Yan City was undoubtedly a much broader stage for him. Although it was far more dangerous than Qingyang Town, Lin Zhentian, who was well aware of Lin Yan's abilities and temperament, believed that Lin Yan would have no trouble adapting.

"Lin Yan, I'll go with you."

Lin Dong stepped forward and declared.

This entire predicament had started because of him, and he could not simply let Lin Yan bear all the responsibility alone.

Since they had already vowed to face everything together, if Lin Yan was heading to Yan City, then Lin Dong would go with him.

"That's fine, let's go together then."

Lin Yan did not refuse, nodding as he agreed.

"Is there anything else you need? I'll have the clan prepare everything for you. It's always better to be fully prepared when traveling far from home."

Lin Zhentian asked the two of them.

Hearing this, Lin Dong didn't have any particular requests.

However, Lin Yan specifically asked Lin Zhentian for a large quantity of medicinal ingredients. After all, while traveling, having a variety of pills on hand would be essential.

Moreover, if he ever ran low on money, he could always refine and sell some pills. 

As long as he had the ingredients, his status as an alchemist ensured that he would never be short of money. Therefore, it was crucial to stock up.

Lin Zhentian naturally had no objections to Lin Yan's request. After learning what he needed, he immediately arranged for a large batch of medicinal ingredients to be prepared for him.

After that, he handed a Qiankun Bag to Lin Yan.

"Yan'er, this contains a hundred Yang Yuan Pills. This is the collection of our Lin Family over this period. Bring it with you, without this Pills, you won't be able to do much in Yan City."

Lin Yan did not decline and accepted the Qiankun Bag without hesitation. Then, together with Lin Dong, he bid farewell to Lin Zhentian and the others and set off toward Yan City.

---

Lin Zhentian and the others stood at the entrance, watching Lin Yan and Lin Dong's figures gradually disappear into the distance.

Only after they were completely out of sight did they reluctantly withdraw their gazes.

"Sigh… To think that not too long ago, they were just two young boys who had just begun cultivating. And now, they have taken on the responsibility of our entire family's future."

"Go forth. Keep pushing forward and reach even greater heights."

Lin Zhentian sighed with emotion.

Behind him, Qing Tan clenched her small fists and said with determination, "Don't worry, Grandpa. Brother Lin Yan and Lin Dong will definitely be fine."

Lin Zhentian stroked his beard and laughed heartily before leading the others back into the house.

"Yes! That's how it has always been. This time will be no different!"

----

After leaving the Lin Family, Lin Yan and Lin Dong continued their journey toward Yan City.

Recalling the overly talkative Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao during their farewell, Lin Dong, on his first long journey away from home, couldn't help but feel a slight sting in his nose.

Lin Yan patted his shoulder in reassurance. "No matter what comes our way, I'll handle it."

Lin Dong was momentarily stunned before nodding firmly. "I believe in you, Lin Yan."

Lin Yan chuckled and continued walking.

By noon, they finally arrived at Yan City.

-----

After arriving in Yan City, the two first found an inn to have a meal. Afterward, Lin Dong turned to Lin Yan and asked about their next destination.

"Lin Yan, where are we heading next?"

Lin Yan replied directly, "Thousand Gold Auction House."

Based on his experience, most of the sign-in locations were special areas.

However, in Yan City, Lin Yan currently had no power or influence, meaning he had no access to many of these special locations.

The Thousand Gold Auction House, however, was different. As long as he paid the entrance fee, he could roam freely inside.

That made it his first target.

"Thousand Gold Auction House? That actually sounds like a good idea. It wouldn't hurt to try our luck and see if we can find anything useful."

Lin Dong readily agreed with Lin Yan's plan.

Thus, after finishing their meal, they quickly settled the bill and made their way toward the Thousand Gold Auction House.

Yan City was massive, and they were still quite a distance from their destination. However, their anticipation pushed them to pick up the pace, and soon enough, they arrived at the Thousand Gold Auction House.

Lin Yan's eyes gleamed as he gazed at the magnificent building before him. He became even more eager to see what kind of reward he would obtain from signing-in.

Without delay, he led Lin Dong inside, paid the entrance fee, and entered the Thousand Gold Auction House.

Since there was still some time before the auction officially began, Lin Yan took the opportunity to wander around with Lin Dong, searching for a sign-in location.

Lin Dong had no idea what Lin Yan was doing, but he understood one thing—when traveling, it was best to follow Lin Yan's lead. Lin Dong firmly believed in this principle.

Thus, since Lin Yan said nothing, Lin Dong did not ask questions. He simply followed quietly.

However, even after wandering for quite a while, Lin Yan still hadn't found a sign-in location.

With no choice left, he and Lin Dong returned to their seats as the auction was about to begin.

This outcome frustrated Lin Yan slightly.

He had spent all that time searching but still hadn't managed to sign in. What kind of situation was this?

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully signed in at the Thousand Gold Auction House in Yan City!]

[Reward Obtained: Angry Buddha Lotus Flames!]

Just as Lin Yan took his seat, the system's voice rang out without warning.

Lin Yan, who had been growing impatient, suddenly broke into a broad smile upon hearing the system's notification.

Moreover, after seeing the reward he had obtained…

Lin Yan's smile grew even wider.

Angry Buddha Lotus Flames!

Now this was an absolute treasure!
