Cosmic Trading System

"I'm sorry..."

That's what Guan Jinshui said as soon as he saw Lin Yun.

Guan Jinshui was the full name of Guan Xiangsi's brother, Arkin.

Afterwards, Guan Jinshui thanked Lin Yun for saving his life.

They quickly put this matter aside.

Lin Yun asked Guan Jinshui about some information related to Lianshan Town. Although he had assigned Black One and Black Two to look into the matter, there were many things they could not investigate in detail.

Through Guan Jinshui, Lin Yun learned that Guan Jinshui did not know about his involvement in the martial arts tournament. However, he did know that Qingyun Company, which had gotten into some trouble, belonged to him.

Then, when a search warrant for Lin Yun suddenly appeared in Lianshan Town, Guan Jinshui thought it was just a routine matter.

It seemed that only a select few in the martial arts circle knew about his activities at the tournament, such as the members of the Iron Fist Sect he encountered earlier.

While Guan Jinshui was a martial artist at the Early Mingjin Stage, he was not deeply involved in this circle, or rather, his interactions with it were scarce.

Lin Yun considered everything thoughtfully.

It seemed that the authorities didn't want to make a big fuss about this. Perhaps they didn't want to draw the public's attention to the martial arts circle.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Looking back, while the martial arts circle seemed large or small depending on one's perspective, there was a reason why most ordinary people went their whole lives without ever knowing about it.

Lin Yun then queried Guan Jinshui about the Iron Fist Sect.

As expected, the Iron Fist Sect functioned as a kind of criminal organization within Lianshan Town, surviving by working with the local herbalists and herb collectors, and had committed many unspeakable deeds.

Lin Yun became even more determined to eradicate this group. Experience exclusive tales on empire

However, there was no rush with this.

Lin Yun planned to deal with the Iron Fist Sect before leaving the town.

For now, he intended to consolidate his Martial Arts Realm and take care of Guan Jinshui and Guan Xiangsi.

Soon, Lin Yun was practicing martial techniques in the courtyard again.

In the Mid Term Realm of Dark Strength, there was a noticeable improvement in Lin Yun's physical strength and his overall physical attributes. The manner in which he executed punch techniques, footwork, and leg movements became sharper and more effortless.

"With my current strength, I should be able to crush a martial arts Grandmaster at the Early Huajin Stage, and I could even hold my own against one at the Mid Term Huajin Stage..." Lin Yun assessed while performing the techniques.

Although he spent most of the past few days in bed, he wasn't idle. He kept thinking about martial techniques in his mind. Despite not relying much on Spirit Crystals to learn quickly this time, he still managed to improve significantly in various martial arts.

After Guan Jinshui took the rare healing pill, his condition improved considerably overnight. He was able to sit up against the wall in bed. Watching Lin Yun practice his martial skills in the courtyard from the window left him in awe.

He could tell that Lin Yun was incredibly powerful now.

Especially that natural aura, it carried an extraordinary quality, resembling that of a grandmaster.

"Lin... Yun, may I become your disciple?"

At noon, Guan Xiangsi prepared lunch, and they had the meal together. Guan Jinshui finally said hesitantly.

After a morning's rest, Guan Jinshui's condition had improved significantly, and he was already able to walk around.

"Since I was young, I have always loved martial arts, but I never got proper guidance, and my family never had the money to..." Seeing Lin Yun look at him, Guan Jinshui quickly explained, his face flushing as he spoke.

"If you don't want to, it's fine, I won't blame you. I was being abrupt in asking this." Guan Jinshui quickly added.

"I can take you as a student, but I have two requirements. One, I can act as a coach and teach you some martial arts skills, but I will not be overly responsible. However, if you work hard, it is not impossible to reach the Huajin Grandmaster stage. You will have full freedom, even if you oppose me in the future, I will not blame you.

The other option is that you truly become my disciple with a vow of lifelong loyalty," Lin Yun said after thinking for a while.

In any case, he planned to pass on the system of martial arts cultivation on Earth. Starting with Guan Jinshui wasn't a bad idea.

If Guan Jinshui sincerely wanted to become a disciple, he could accept him. After all, it was not like he could rule a region without any trusted allies.

"To reach the Huajin Grandmaster stage is not too difficult?" Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, Guan Jinshui asked in shock.

Any Huajin Grandmaster was a legendary figure, each one was capable of ruling a city or a province and leaving their mark on history. While Guan Jinshui didn't have much interaction with the martial arts circle, he was aware of this fact.

Throughout the entire martial arts world of Huaxia, including all the historical figures, Grandmasters of Huajin were rare.

"I choose the second one." Although the first choice allowed full freedom and potentially grand achievements, Guan Jinshui didn't hesitate and stood up to express his decision.

"Disciple pays respect to the master." The next moment, Guan Jinshui was kneeling on the ground.

"Brother..." Seeing this, Guan Xiangsi was startled.

"You're sure about the vow of lifetime loyalty?" Lin Yun didn't stop Guan Jinshui and asked indifferently.

"I, Guan Jinshui, hereby swear that from the moment of becoming a disciple, I will be loyal to my master for life. If I betray this oath, let me be pierced by a thousand arrows and die a miserable death." Guan Jinshui raised his head and made the vow with firm determination.

"Alright, stand up. From now onward, you are my eldest disciple." Lin Yun nodded slightly.

He knew that some initiation ceremonies in the martial arts world were quite complex, but he was not an orthodox martial artist. Besides, considering the urgency of the matter, there was no need for such complexity.

Guan Jinshui's oath was sincere enough. That was all he needed.

His lie detector and his strong mental strength allowed him to sense the depth of Guan Jinshui's conviction in his words.

The power of such oaths was huge, which Guan Jinshui would understand once he reached a certain realm.

"Thank you, Master." Guan Jinshui got up, expressing his joy.

"Brother, congratulations." Guan Xiangsi also smiled slightly.

"But, should I call you Lin elder brother, or..." The next moment, Guan Xiangsi glanced at Lin Yun, her face turned slightly pink.

"We'll stick to our own." Lin Yun shook his head.

It wouldn't be too appropriate for a peer to call him an elder, just because his siblings had sworn an oath to him. Guan Xiangsi had been calling him Elder Brother Lin for the past few days, and Lin Yun didn't feel like changing that.

"Hehe, then I will still call you Elder Brother Lin. Brother, don't forget you're now my junior..." Guan Xiangsi looked at Guan Jinshui with a teasing smile and stuck out her tongue.

Seeing this, Guan Jinshui gave a bitter smile but didn't comment.

"Jinshui, later, I'll pass on to you a Spiritual Energy cultivation technique that will benefit your martial arts cultivation and physical recovery. Then, you can observe me practicing some martial arts..."

Lin Yun turned to Guan Jinshui and spoke.

"Yes, Master." Guan Jinshui nodded, his attitude was extremely respectful.

After finishing their meal, Lin Yun led Guan Jinshui towards the courtyard.

Lin Yun put a hand on the back of Guan Jinshui, initiating the Cosmic Trading System to pass on the Spiritual Energy cultivation technique.

"Boom——"

With the deduction of Spirit Crystals, a massive amount of Spiritual Energy instantly flooded into Guan Jinshui's body through Lin Yun's palm, and then into Guan Jinshui's mind.

"This..."

A few minutes later, Guan Jinshui opened his eyes, his face filled with astonishment.

At that moment, his perception of the world became clearer, and his memory and comprehension increased tremendously.

No wonder, Lin Yun... No, his master said that this technique would benefit his martial arts cultivation.

Guan Jinshui thought to himself.

Now, with his enhanced memory and comprehension, wouldn't his speed of learning martial arts increase?

At this moment, he was extremely grateful to Lin Yun.

Just for this technique that Lin Yun passed on, it was worthwhile to become Lin Yun's disciple.

Moreover, he vaguely guessed that if he had chosen the first option earlier, Lin Yun might not have transmitted this technique to him.

He had chosen the right person to be his master.
