"Talisman skill?" Master Ma suddenly let out a cold snort. After which, he turned his head towards Lin Tian and asked, "What grade have you reached that you dare to practice Symbol Techniques?"

Lin Tian slightly froze, but then immediately reacted. So it turned out that Master Ma was suspicious of Lin Tian's mental strength.

Symbol Masters were also divided into grades.

The first Symbol Master, who had just stepped into the Symbol Dao, was known as an Inferior Grade Symbol Master. His Mental Energy had greatly increased and his strength had also greatly increased. Only then could he be considered a Middle Grade Symbol Master and above that, a Superior Grade Symbol Master.

For example, the two charm magicians that Lin Tian had met. One was An Yuan and the other was Tie Yin. They were both proficient in Shadow Arcane Arts and were only existences that had just stepped into the intermediate tier.

As for Lin Tian, due to his already extremely strong Mental Energy, coupled with the fact that he had swallowed the two people's spirit and soul, his current Mental Energy had already reached the cultivation of a high-grade Symbol Master.

When Lin Tian examined the object on the ground earlier, he had used a small part of his mental power. Thus, after Master Ma detected Lin Tian, he felt that Lin Tian had only just stepped into the realm of Symbol Masters, so he didn't ask too much just now.

But now that Lin Tian mentioned Symbol Techniques, then naturally, Master Ma had to say a few more words.

This was because an Inferior Grade Symbol Master who had just stepped into the Symbol Master Stage was not adept at cultivating Symbol Techniques due to his lack of control over Mental Energy. If he were to forcefully cultivate Symbol Techniques, he would instead suffer a backlash.

This was the reason why Teacher Ma's attitude changed so much.

Li Wan'er jumped in fright, then said coquettishly, "Grandpa Ma, he's my friend, why are you being so fierce?"

He bitterly smiled as he explained, "Girl, it's not that Grandpa doesn't want to give you face, it's just that this kid doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. His mental strength has just reached the level of an Inferior Grade Symbol Master and he still dares to say that he wants to cultivate …"

Before Grandmaster Ma could finish his words, a surging wave of Mental Energy instantly swept towards Grandmaster Ma from within Lin TianAo's manor. The monstrous Mental Energy instantly enveloped the entire room.

Master Ma turned around with an incredulous expression. The corners of his mouth twitched a few times before swallowing his saliva with difficulty. He said, "Upper …" "Superior Grade …"

It's a high-rank Symbol Master! He's actually a high-rank Symbol Master! However, even if he's a high-rank Symbol Master, how could he possess such formidable Mental Energy? That's impossible! Could it be a Soul Symbol Master?" This was even more impossible! "In the entire Azure Province, no, in the entire Tian Luo Kingdom, the number of spirit runemasters can be counted on one hand. This is impossible, absolutely impossible!" Master Ma immediately became excited, even his speech became incoherent.

Li Wan'er was slightly startled. Just as she was about to say something, Lin Tian spoke up: "Master Ma, I am not a spirit runemaster. I am only a high-ranked one!"

"High-grade, it's really high-grade!" Master Ma's face was full of excitement, "It has been so many years, but this is the first time I've encountered such a young, high-grade Symbol Master!"

Lin Tian only smiled and then indifferently withdrew his Spiritual Force.

"Master Ma, with my current strength, can I cultivate Symbol Techniques?" Lin Tian asked Master Ma with a smile on his face.

"What master? My name is Ma Feng. From now on, you can just call me Brother Feng. With your current strength, don't call me junior. I'm also a high-grade Symbol Master. We have the same generation!" Master Ma couldn't help but correct her.

"Brother Feng?" The corner of Lin Tian's mouth twitched, this Master Ma actually thought of something that came out. Looking at his age, it was enough for Master Ma to be his grandfather, but Lin Tian called him Brother Feng?

This...

However, Lin Tian could also understand. After all, Symbol Masters were too rare. Those who became high-grade Symbol Masters were even rarer.

There was not a single Symbol Master in the entire Sky Dragon City, so there shouldn't be that many in the Sky Thunder City.

Moreover, Lin Tian's cultivation was similar to Master Ma's on the rune dao, so Master Ma naturally didn't dare to put on airs in front of Lin Tian.

"That's right." Ma Feng laughed and then asked: "Little brother Lin Tian Xian, I wonder who your master is?"

"Teacher?" Initially, when he had battled An Yuan, An Yuan had asked this question first. Talisman masters were scarce, so naturally, he valued them more, because in the Tian Luo Kingdom, there was a Symbol Master Guild that had a large number of talisman masters gathered inside.

There were many disciples under the elite Symbol Masters, and there were even more disciples below the disciples. Therefore, many Symbol Masters were intertwined with each other, therefore, Symbol Masters would not easily fight each other. Even if they did fight, they would ask their teachers to avoid accidentally injuring their own people.

But the awkward part was that Lin Tian didn't have a master. He cultivated the secret technique of the Dragon clan, so he opened the Dragon clan's Divine Manor. According to the legends, the Ancestral Dragon had created the Dao of Talismans.

What he received was also the inheritance of the dragon race. In other words, he could be considered the disciple of the Symbol Master.

In other words, Lin Tian was the Martial Ancestor of all the people on the Sky Dragon Continent who cultivated the rune dao!

No one dared to be a human Symbol Master, so Ma Feng suddenly asked for a master, but Lin Tian didn't know how to reply.

After hesitating for a bit, Lin Tian still replied: "My master travels the four seas, and seeing that my talent is not bad, he accepted me as his last disciple. But he told me not to tell anyone else of my master's name, so, Brother Feng, please forgive me!"

When Lin Tian called Brother Feng, he felt very strange. Li Wan'er called him grandpa, but Lin Tian called him Brother Feng. Then what should Li Wan'er call Lin Tian …

Li Wan'er pouted as well. She wasn't too happy about it. The man who almost became her fiancé had suddenly grown two generations older …

After hearing Lin Tian's explanation, Ma Feng was not surprised. Some of the top ranked Symbol Masters were rarely seen, so what Lin Tian said was believable, because today, he had already reached the realm of a high rank Symbol Master. His master should also be a great Symbol Master that he could not meet.

After knowing that Lin Tian was a Symbol Master, Ma Feng became a lot more friendly, but Ma Feng still explained with incomparable regret: "Little brother Lin Tian Xian, in this auction, martial arts were indeed available, but Symbol Techniques, in such a small place, it's impossible …."

"I guessed it." Lin Tian was not too disappointed. If Symbol Techniques were so easy to obtain, Symbol Masters were not so rare.

"Although I have a Talisman Skill, it was passed down to me by my master and cannot be passed on to others. So, little brother Lin Tian Xian, Brother Feng, I must apologize to you." Ma Feng said apologetically.

"No worries, I naturally understand. However, it's fine if you have a martial art." Lin Tian nodded his head and understood.

"Martial arts, you can rest assured. As long as you like it, I will directly bid for it and gift it to you. After all, I have just accepted you as my younger brother, so naturally, I will give you a greeting gift." Ma Feng had a warm smile on his face.

"If that's the case, then I must first thank Brother Feng." Lin Tian thanked him. He did not expect that just by revealing his strength in front of Ma Feng, he would be able to obtain such benefits.

"It's fine, it's fine." Only now did Ma Feng pick up the item that dropped on the ground.

Only now did Lin Tian clearly see that the item was already a wooden box.

"Oh, so there was a secret layer. I was wondering why I couldn't find the secret inside. To think that by falling down, I would be able to solve such a secret." Ma Feng smiled and picked up the wooden box.

The wooden box was originally sealed and could not be opened. However, after breaking into pieces, one could see that the interior of the wooden box was actually covered by a shining purple jade.

"It's a gem that can nourish the soul. Come, little girl Wan'er, I'll give it to you as a gift. You scared grandpa just now, and grandpa can't open this secret now. It seems like this gem is fated to be with you …"

Li Wan'er didn't refuse. She accepted the gem with a smile, then said with a sweet smile, "Thank you, Grandpa Ma …"

When she called him Grandpa Ma, Li Wan'er didn't feel anything was wrong, but now, for some reason, she felt uncomfortable.

It was at this moment, outside of the room, in the lobby of the pavilion, a commotion suddenly broke out.

Ma Feng immediately smiled at Lin Tian and said: "Junior Lin Tian Xian, the small scale trade fair is about to begin, for brother's sake go and entertain the sellers and buyers, and for brother's sake prepare for the auction later, I will not accompany you, just follow the Wan'er girl around to see, if you see anything, just do it for brother."

Lin Tian nodded his head and couldn't help but feel some joy in his heart. He didn't think that the treatment for Symbol Masters would be so good. He didn't pay anything and only displayed his cultivation as a Superior Grade Symbol Master to bring him such benefits.

Ma Feng nodded and left.

Only Li Wan'er and Lin Tian remained.

Lin Tian couldn't help but tease: "Little girl Wan'Er, take me to see this trade fair."

"Don't call me lass!" Li Wan'er waved her fist at Lin Tian and warned him.

"Alright, little girl."

"Lin Tian, you!"

Li Wan'er hadn't finished speaking when Lin Tian walked out. Li Wan'er snorted, but still followed closely behind Lin Tian.

After exiting the room, the pavilion became lively all of a sudden.

Just now when Lin Tian and Li Wan'er came up, the hall was still empty, but now, in the large hall, it was already noisy with people, buyers and sellers everywhere.

Many buyers shuttled back and forth among the vendors, stopping from time to time to carefully look at the items placed in front of the vendors' stalls.

Ma Feng was standing not too far away from them, interacting with them. However, the strength of these people were all above the Aurous Core stage.

There were almost no Qi Disciple stage buyers or sellers here. All of them were Qi Hai warriors or above.

"Perhaps, I'll be able to reap some rewards from this trade fair." In terms of strength alone, the specifications here were much higher than the ones in the trade fair downstairs.
