After the Tower Duel, Flame City quickly returned to its peaceful state.
Xuan Su found Lin Yun and handed him two Cosmos Sacks.
"These are the Yang Yuan Stones from the auction of your pills, and the Spiritual Herbs of Fourth Grade and above that you asked me to collect for you. They're all inside."
"This Cosmos Sack contains the Yang Yuan Stones collected by the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild. There are over 300,000 this time. Once you've finished refining the pills, you can send them directly to my room at the Ten Thousand Gold Auction House, or we can arrange a time for me to come to you."
"Thank you, Sister Su. You're truly a great assistant. I'm starting to feel like I can't do without you," Lin Yun said with a playful smile.
"Once I've finished refining them, I'll send them to your room."
He looked at Xuan Su with a hint of aggression in his gaze. Whether intentional or not, Xuan Su was wearing a light purple cheongsam today, with a very high slit.
Her slender, well-rounded, full, and firm figure was quite captivating.
To be honest, Xuan Su was an excellent candidate for a secretary, both in appearance and substance.
Lin Yun could already imagine how charming she would be in professional office attire.
"All you do is sweet-talk all day!"
Xuan Su gave Lin Yun a flirtatious look and made an orchid hand gesture.
"I'm serious, Sister Su. You're different from other women. You're not only more beautiful and sexy than them, but also more astute and capable."
Lin Yun thought for a moment and said, "When I buy the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild in the future, you can work for me!"
"Hehe, buying the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild is quite difficult, you know. If you really manage it, then I'll be yours, and you can do whatever you want. As a weak woman, I won't be able to resist you."
A hint of anticipation flickered in the depths of Xuan Su's eyes as she looked at Lin Yun charmingly.
"Then it's settled!"
Lin Yun was quite looking forward to the day Xuan Su became his secretary.
...
Lin Dong returned from the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild and came to Lin Yun's courtyard.
"Little Brother Lin Dong, I heard you've been going to the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild quite often lately?"
Lin Yun looked at Lin Dong with a gossipy expression.
Three days had passed since the Tower Duel, and Lin Dong had already been to the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild five times.
"That..." Lin Dong's eyes flickered for a moment before he said, "Miss Zhilan has recently been stuck at the Lesser Perfection of Core Elixir Realm. Because I've been sparring with her before, it helped her improve a lot, so she asked me to go and discuss martial arts and the Dao with her again."
"All you know is sparring with her. Are you keeping up with your own cultivation? If she needs you, let her come to you. Why do you have to go to her every time? You're just too honest. Be careful not to fall into her trap in the future. By then, you won't be able to pull yourself out!"
Lin Yun reminded him, feeling frustrated that Lin Dong wasn't living up to his expectations. He was worried that Lin Dong would become a simp, which didn't fit the character he envisioned for Lin Dong. He had to correct this.
Before he found a partner, Lin Dong also had to remain single.
"Brother Lin Yun, I didn't..."
"What 'I didn't'? The Tower Duel ended three days ago, and I've been waiting to teach you the Transformation Symbol Array, but I haven't even seen a trace of you. Are you not serious about cultivating anymore? Come, let me test if your strength has regressed."
Lin Yun immediately interrupted Lin Dong and suggested sparring.
[Task: Discipline Lin Dong. Reward: Charm +2, Luck +2.]
"Okay!"
Provoked like this, Lin Dong readily agreed.
He didn't want to be misunderstood by Lin Yun. Although he went to teach Xia Zhilan, he hadn't neglected his cultivation. Since getting the Stone Talisman, he had been cultivating in the Stone Talisman space every night.
The two began sparring in the courtyard.
"Little Brother Lin Dong, is this all the progress you've made?"
"Your fists are soft!"
"The Mental Energy of a Three Seal Symbol Master is just this... You probably broke through for nothing. You went into the Symbol Master Tower for nothing."
"Haven't you eaten?"
...
Lin Yun thoroughly thrashed Little Brother Ou.
Lin Dong was frustrated, feeling a knot of anger in his chest.
He couldn't win in a fight! He couldn't win in an argument either!
"Come on, I'll teach you the Transformation Symbol Array now. You're too weak. Learn more things. Don't think about dating all day. If you were as strong as me, you wouldn't have to go running to her. Didn't you see, Xuan Su came to me on her own initiative."
Lin Yun patted Lin Dong and tormented him from another angle.
"I'll learn!"
Lin Dong was somewhat annoyed.
Half an hour later! Lin Yun successfully taught the Transformation Symbol Array to Lin Dong.
In just this short amount of time, he had completed two tasks from Lin Dong and received rewards.
Charm +2, Luck +2!
Charm +2, Luck +2, Comprehension +2!
"It's been a while since I checked the system's personal panel!"
Lin Yun opened the panel.

"The panel is even richer now, and the Charm attribute is still so outstanding, reaching one in a hundred years. I guess I'm a handsome guy who appears once in a century."
Lin Yun looked at the panel information with satisfaction. All of this was due to his efforts! After learning the Transformation Symbol Array, Lin Dong went into seclusion. This time, being defeated by Lin Yun made him a bit withdrawn.
Looking at Little Brother Ou's appearance, Lin Yun also felt a little unbearable, but he was doing it for Little Brother Ou's own good.
Fortunately, Lin Dong's personality was the type that grew stronger with setbacks, so there was no need to fear excessive blows.
Anyway, even if Lin Yun dealt him a blow, he could regain his confidence by interacting with Xia Zhilan another day!
"I also need to step up my cultivation. I have a lot to brush this time."
[Task: Cultivate Multiple Shadow Spear 60 times. Reward: Multiple Shadow Spear proficiency Great Accomplishment +1.]
[Task: Cultivate Mountain Fist 60 times. Reward: Mountain Fist proficiency Great Accomplishment +1.]
[Task: Cultivate Three Talents Sword Formation 5 times. Reward: Three Talents Sword Formation proficiency Lesser Accomplishment +1.]
[Task: Cultivate Transformation Symbol Array 5 times. Reward: Transformation Symbol Array proficiency Lesser Accomplishment.]
...
Lin Yun created a large number of cultivation tasks.
Since his various attributes had basically reached one in ten thousand, and his talents were all intermediate, brushing cultivation tasks was even easier than before.
The time required was almost halved!
