Although the memories of that soul fragment have been merged, a rune master is not just about having knowledge to succeed, but must also practice the coordination between body and mind. He needs to combine those ownerless soul memories with his own body!
Materials are equal to money, cant be wasted! Lin Ming started practicing without using materials, only using his true yuan to condense into individual characters, drawing according to the memories of the ownerless soul, and using this method to constantly make his body find the feeling in the memories of the ownerless soul.
This is an extremely dull and mentally exhausting task, yet Lin Ming drew thousands of times, and in this repetitive drawing, he gradually coordinated his soul and body.
When Lin Mings soul force was exhausted, he would take a break and use this time to study "Mingwen Shu Ru Men". With Lin Mings existing memory, reading this book was very easy. Although the book wouldnt bring new knowledge to Lin Ming, it could make him have a specific understanding of the Mingwen Shu on the Tian Yan continent.
Lin Ming spent an entire day studying "Mystic Inscription Introduction", but the book didnt mention anything about the Celestial Silkworm Silk inscription material.
Tiancan silk is a very important material for Lin Ming, but it was not seen in the transaction hall. After checking a lot of information, Lin Ming found that Tianyun country indeed has tiancan silk, but its generally used to make zither strings.
I wonder if the heavenly silk in that great beings memory is the same as the heavenly silk here...
Because of the different planes, many times the divine realms names for materials are completely different from those in the Tianyuan Continent. Lin Ming identifies materials not by their names, but by their appearance and smell, which is the same as what he remembered from his past life. As for the Celestial Silkworm Silk, Lin Ming only has memories of the divine realms Celestial Silkworm Silk, but has never seen the Tianyuan Continents version, so he cant be certain if they are the same thing or not.
Lin Ming thought carefully and seemed to have a place where he might be able to find this thing, which was the Qin Fu of the Seven Xuan Wu Sect.
Generally speaking, most warriors use swords, but sometimes they also use knives, guns and other weapons. Occasionally, they will even use extremely special weapons, such as the guqin (a traditional Chinese zither).
The name of the Seventh Mystic Mansion comes from the Seven Mystics Valley, and the name of the Seven Mystics Valley originates from the seven people who opened the door to the sect in the Seven Mystics Valley. Each of their weapons is different, including a woman who uses a zither.
Thus, the zither was also passed down as a legacy of the Seven Mystical Valleys to the present day, and the Qinfu was established in the Seventh Mystic Martial Arts Academy.
However, the Guqin is too particular and requires extremely high innate talent, and one must also be well-versed in music theory. Therefore, the Guqin department of the Seventh Xuanwu Academy has always been very deserted. Among those who come to learn the Guqin, ninety-nine percent are girls, most of whom just like playing the Guqin or want to use it to cultivate their emotions, and have no interest in martial arts that involve fighting and killing.
Lin Mings destination was the public lecture hall of the Qin Prefecture.
The Seventh Mystic Martial Arts Institute is established in the Tianyun Empire, and every year it selects talented individuals to enter the Seventh Mystic Valley. In response to the request of the Tianyun Imperial Family, the Seventh Mystic Martial Arts Institute also allows non-Seventh Mystic students to attend public lectures at the Public Lecture Hall.
To attend lectures, you need a permit; otherwise, everyone will come and the lecture hall will be packed to bursting.
The Qi Xuan Wu Fu stipulates that only martial artists above the third level, nobles, students of the Qi Xuan Wu Fu and Tian Yun Wu Fu are allowed to enter. Others do not have permission. Of course, the teaching content in the exchange hall is all general knowledge, and the true core content is only passed on to core disciples.
The visitors pass was lent to Lin Xiaodong by Lin Ming, and in a big family like the Lins, there were naturally people who practiced martial arts at the Seventh Martial House. With Lin Xiaodongs connections, it wasnt difficult to borrow a visitors pass.
Lin Xiaodong just shouted as soon as he saw Lin Ming: "Brother, real brother, wake up!"
Lin Xiaodong indeed admired Lin Mings diligence and firmly believed that Lin Ming would reach a very high level in martial arts, but the art of inscription was not something that could be learned with just diligence and determination!
With just 800 taels of gold, you bought a pile of materials and a copy of "Epigraphy for Beginners" to start self-studying epigraphy. Are you kidding me? If it were that easy, epigraphers would have been as common as piglets by now.
Theres no doubt that in Lin Xiaodongs view, Lin Ming learning the art of inscription is simply a pipe dream, not only wasting money but also delaying his studies!
But no matter how he tried to persuade him, Lin Xiaodong was helpless and could only lend the hearing certificate to Lin Ming. He was considering whether to take Lin Ming to the medical office at some point to see if his brain had been damaged or if he had mental problems.
Lin Ming arrived at the Qianyu Wu Fus Qin Fu Teaching Institute, which had a total of three floors. The classrooms on the first floor were extremely large.
However, poor Lin Ming did not know that the Qixing Wu Fu Qin Fu Teaching Institute was equivalent to a womens restroom and was a forbidden zone for male students.
The students of the Qin government in recent years have been basically all girls, because girls who are interested in learning qin are mostly from noble families and have been influenced by music since childhood, with good looks and temperament. As a result, many young masters of noble families have had ideas and want to win over one or two.
These aristocratic young masters can get a listeners certificate just because of their identity, so they often come to the Qinfu Teaching Institute to listen in. Some people in the classroom stare at the chest and thighs of the female students from Qinfu, and after class, they often ask the girls out for dinner or shopping, which makes the beauties from Qinfu extremely annoyed. Especially since playing the piano is an art that requires concentration, over time, Qinfu began to resist males entering, especially those with ulterior motives, and directly kicked them out without mercy.
Lin Ming entered the Qinfu Teaching Institute, and the lesson had not yet begun. However, there were several girls exchanging music, one of whom was trying out a new tune. The lively and elegant piano sound flowed out freely, lingering on and on, echoing off the beams.
Lin Ming walked closer and took a look, the strings they used were not made of heavenly silkworm silk, which was also within his expectations. Heavenly silkworm silk was expensive and rare, and besides, strings made from it were too tough, if ones cultivation wasnt enough, it would be easy to injure their hands, these young girls from the Lin family couldnt use them at all.
Lin Ming approached, the girl playing the piano was too focused to notice, while the two girls listening to the music naturally noticed him, they furrowed their brows and didnt speak.
From time to time, some ill-intentioned boys would swarm around them like flies. These boys didnt even recognize a single musical note, yet theyd eagerly run over and claim they wanted to practice piano to cultivate their emotions. However, their eyes would always be fixed on the girls chests. Seeing this kind of boy made the girls feel disgusted.
However, most girls are too embarrassed to argue back, and some perverts will become more aggressive, even resorting to physical violence. Later on, the eldest sister of the Qin family organized a group of sisters, and on one teaching day, they chased away all the perverts who came to flirt with the girls at the Qin familys place.
But there are always those with thick skin who, after being driven out, come back again with a smile on their face. They insist that they have come to learn piano, and even if they ask a pretty girl out after class, its just to discuss "art" together, without any ulterior motives.
It turned out that this master sister was also a ruthless character. The next day, she directly put up a sign at the door, which read: "Men and dogs are not allowed to enter."
This matter was blown out of proportion, eventually shocking the higher-ups at Wu Fu. It wasnt until the school intervened that it was resolved. The school didnt prohibit men from entering Qin Fu to audit classes, but whether or not the male students who entered were actually there to learn piano would be determined by the female students of Qin Fu. If they unanimously deemed him to have ulterior motives, his auditing certificate would be revoked on the spot.
And so, slowly but surely, the Qinfu Tutorial Institute no longer saw any sign of men.
Lin Ming didnt know these allusions, he looked around for a while and couldnt find the guqin made of heavenly silkworm silk, so he casually strolled to the library on the side of the lecture hall, wanting to see if there were any literature materials.
When he left, several girls had just finished playing, they looked at Lin Mings figure standing in front of the bookshelf from afar and whispered: "This guy doesnt look like a piano learner."
"Hmm, I dont think so, that sly-looking guy was just staring at Xiao Qians hand earlier."
"It cant be, hes still young, only fifteen or sixteen years old."
"Hmph, in our hometown, boys get married at 16, and girls of my age are already mothers." The girl who spoke was only 17 or 18 years old. In Tianyun City, people typically get married after turning 18, but in rural areas, its common to marry one or two years earlier, so getting married at 16 is not unusual.
"Never mind, its none of our business anyway. Eldest sister will also come to listen to the lesson later, if he has any improper thoughts, eldest sister will ask him to leave."
Lin Ming did not hear the girls gossip, otherwise he would be speechless. The so-called "looking at Xiaoxians hands" was just looking at the material of the strings.
He has been looking for materials. The exchange hall of the Qin Mansion is very large, and a large area on one side of the Qin room is divided into a library, which contains various music knowledge and scores.
Lin Ming was not interested in music at all, he flipped through it and finally found the information he wanted - "Tianqin Ranking"
"The Tianqin List" listed various ancient good zithers, including the origin of the zither, user, manufacturer, manufacturing materials and so on. There were detailed introductions, among which naturally included the high-end material Tian Can silk used to make zither strings. Lin Mings heart was filled with joy as he began.
The "Heavenly Zither Rankings" introduced the various properties and collection methods of the Heavenly Silkworm Silk, the only regret being that there were no pictures of the Heavenly Silkworm Silk. However, Lin Ming was still able to roughly confirm that this Heavenly Silkworm Silk was indeed the one he had been searching for.
Lin Ming was looking very serious, and didnt notice at all that the number of female students in the Qinfu Academy was increasing. They naturally noticed Lin Ming standing in the corner, a man among a group of beauties, which was really too eye-catching.
But Lin Ming didnt look around, his mind was focused on the book, although its possible that he was pretending, but after all, someone is pretending, you cant suspect who is a thief and catch them.
Originally, this lesson would have gone smoothly, but unfortunately, the eldest sister of the Qin Manor seems to have a great prejudice against men.
This master sisters name is like thunder in the circle of noble young masters, and that one signboard that men and dogs are not allowed to enter makes many young masters think back now with a lingering fear, secretly someone curses her to be unmarried for life.
In fact, the older sister is quite good-looking, in her early twenties, with an oval face and a full figure, long legs, but for some reason, this older sister seems uninterested in men, and has a very fiery temper. Once, there was a lecherous man staring at her ample bosom, and she kicked him between the legs, almost rendering him infertile.
As soon as the master sister arrived at the lecture room, she almost immediately discovered Lin Ming. Her eyebrows furrowed instantly, and she put down the guqin on her body, walking straight to Lin Mings front, pointing at the desk in front of Lin Ming with three consecutive "dings", "How did you get in?"
