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

[Congratulations, Host! Sign-in at the depths of the Yang Yuan Stone Vein completed!][Reward obtained: Green Lotus Core Flame!]

The sudden voice of the system made Lin Yan freeze for a moment.

He stopped in his tracks, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Unable to believe it, he pinched his cheek and soon felt a sharp pain. In that instant, the corners of Lin Yan's mouth curved into a bright smile.

"This is…"

"A Heavenly Flame? Damn! Could things really turn out this well?!"

His excitement was so overwhelming that Lin Yan couldn't help but blurt out a curse.

Just moments ago, he had resigned himself to the idea that this trip had been in vain, believing that acquiring a Heavenly Flame in the near future was impossible.

Yet, fate—or the systen—had other plans.

What he thought was an impossible dream had suddenly become reality!

Not only had he obtained a Heavenly Flame, but it was also precisely the one he needed—Green Lotus Core Flame!

This meant he could finally form his Yuan Dan!

"Hahahaha!"

Lin Yan couldn't hold back his laughter, his excitement completely out of control.

"Little friend, what's wrong with you? Did failing to find a Heavenly Flame hit you that hard?"

"If that's the case, there's no need to despair. There will be more opportunities…"

Yao Lao, startled by Lin Yan's sudden reaction, looked at him in confusion and spoke in an attempt to comfort him.

"Senior Yao Lao I got a Heavenly Flame."

"Green Lotus Core Flame!"

Lin Yan finally managed to suppress his joy and explained everything to Yao Lao.

Hearing this, even Yao Lao was stunned. He stood still for a moment, processing Lin Yan's words.

Then, his expression shifted to sheer excitement as he asked, "Little friend, are you serious?"

Lin Yan nodded firmly.

"I'm completely serious."

Yao Lao burst into laughter as well.

"Since that's the case, we should leave immediately!"

"I will prepare a prescription for you. Next, we'll gather the necessary medicinal ingredients, refine the required pill, and then proceed to devour the Heavenly Flame!"

His eyes gleamed with anticipation. Even though he wasn't the one devouring the Heavenly Flame, Yao Lao had been waiting for this moment just as eagerly as Lin Yan.

Without wasting any more time, the two quickly left the Yang Yuan Stone Vein.

Upon returning home, Yao Lao wasted no time and immediately listed everything Lin Yan would need to consume the Green Lotus Core Flame, cutting straight to the point.

"Little friend, devouring the Green Lotus Core Flame requires three things."

"First, a high-quality ice-attribute treasure."

"When absorbing a Heavenly Flame, such an item is needed to regulate the heat. Otherwise, the body won't be able to endure the extreme temperatures."

"But you don't have to worry about this. I already have one."

Yao Lao reassured Lin Yan before reaching into his storage ring and pulling out a piece of radiant blue jade.

"This is Thousand-Year Ice Jade, an item I acquired in my youth. I never thought it would come in handy here."

Yao Lao continued speaking.

"Secondly, Essence Spirit."

"This is an extremely rare natural treasure that only has a minuscule chance of appearing within high-grade Essence Stones. Don't be fooled by its size—this thing is incredibly valuable.

"If I hadn't already gone through the trouble of gathering it back when I devoured a Heavenly Flame myself, we'd have a hard time finding it on short notice."

After saying this, Yao Lao took out the Essence Spirit from his storage ring.

It was a thumb-sized stone, smooth and jade-like without any blemishes. At its center, a faint blue glow slowly pulsed, wriggling like a living creature.

Lin Yan stared at the two items in astonishment.

He never expected Yao Lao to have everything on hand. It was as if his storage ring was some kind of bottomless treasure trove—whatever was needed, he just reached inside and pulled it out.

Shaking his head in amazement, Lin Yan couldn't help but remark, "Senior Yao Lao, your treasure vault is really something."

"Truly impressive."

Hearing this, Yao Lao chuckled proudly.

"Just some collections from my younger days."

Then, he turned serious again.

"But the last required item is something you'll have to obtain yourself."

"This item is called the Blood Lotus Essence Pill."

"It's a fifth-grade pill. Without its bloody layers protection, you won't even be able to get close to the Heavenly Flame, let alone devour it."

"Later, I'll give you the pill formula. You'll need to gather the required ingredients, and I'll refine it for you."

Lin Yan nodded in understanding.

Then, he took the Blood Lotus Essence Pill formula from Yao Lao's hand.

This pill didn't require many ingredients, but each one was extremely rare.

Blood Lotus Essence, Ice Spirit Blazing Grass, and a Rank 3 Monster Core.

Among the required ingredients, obtaining a Rank 3 Monster Core might be relatively easier.

However, Blood Lotus Essence and Ice Spirit Blazing Grass were both rare medicinal materials, even in the Dou Qi Continent.

"I'll check the apothecary first."

After obtaining the pill formula, Lin Yan headed to the apothecary to search.

As expected, after a thorough search, none of the three required ingredients were found. With no other choice, Lin Yan immediately returned home and went straight to find Lin Zhentian.

Lin Zhentian had been immersed in cultivation, but upon hearing that Lin Yan needed his help, he immediately halted his training and asked, "Yan'er, whatever you need, just say the word!"

Lin Yan directly stated his request, listing the three required materials.

"Grandfather, I need your help to find these three items. They might determine whether I can break through to the Yuan Dan stage."

Lin Zhentian had initially been smiling, but after hearing the severity of the situation, his expression instantly turned serious.

Without hesitation, he replied firmly, "Rest assured, Yan'er, leave this to your grandfather!"

"If these items determine whether you can step into the Yuan Dan stage, then even if it means exhausting all of the Lin family's resources, I will get them for you!"

Lin Yan expressed his gratitude before leaving.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhentian immediately summoned Lin Xiao, Lin Mang, and Lin Ken.

He explained the situation in full detail and then addressed the three with a grave expression.

"This is the situation. My stance has already been made clear."

"Remember, no matter the cost, you must obtain these three items for me! This concerns Yan'er's advancement, and we cannot afford to be careless!"

The three solemnly acknowledged his orders.

Without delay, they each set off in different directions to search for the required ingredients.

Lin Zhentian took a sip of tea.

However, he remained restless and soon left the Lin family estate, making his way toward the Raging Blade Dojo.

"Old Lin, what brings you here today?"

Upon learning of Lin Zhentian's visit, Luo Cheng naturally did not dare to neglect him. He personally came out to greet Lin Zhentian, smiling as he spoke.

"Dojo Master Luo, I've come today because I have a personal matter that I need your help with. If you can assist me, the Lin family will forever remember this favor!"

Lin Zhentian cupped his hands respectfully, his expression serious.

Hearing this, Luo Cheng became even more curious.

What kind of matter could be so important that the ever-proud Lin Zhentian would personally come to seek help? Realizing the gravity of the situation, he did not dare to delay and promptly replied,

"Old Lin, please speak. If it's within my power, I certainly won't refuse."
