"Hey, you! Stop right there! Do you know who she is?" The eldest sister was getting angry, although Qin Xuans unusual expression was not very obvious, but she still sensed it. Qin Xuan was one of her best friends in the boudoir, and she couldnt bear to see Qin Xuan being humiliated.

  This man is too hateful, let alone Qin Xuan, even if its a girl from the Qin Mansion, just wave her hand and a large group of men will rush over.

  This guy actually refused so bluntly, is he out of his mind?!

  Lin Ming secretly cursed, he naturally knew Qin Xuans identity, but at this time he couldnt say it, he deliberately avoided the topic and said: "Sister, I really have something to do, Im not deceiving you."

  "Who are you calling big sister?! Im too lazy to bother with you, whatever it is you need help with, Ill send someone to take care of it for you!" The eldest sister stood in front of Lin Ming, hands on her hips, with an attitude that said she wouldnt let him leave until he agreed. Although the eldest sisters family wasnt as prominent as Qin Xuans, they were still one of the top families in the capital, and sending a servant to take care of something in Tianyun City was as simple as eating or drinking.

  Lin Ming was speechless, this was also too overbearing, he said: "My thing is cultivation, these few months have no time."

  The master sister wanted to say something, at this time Qin Xingxuan said: "Let this classmate go, maybe it was his teacher who called him."

  In Qin Xuans view, Lin Mings young age and achievements are naturally inseparable from his hard work and diligent practice. His teacher assigning him a nearly demanding practice content is also normal.

  When Lin Ming heard Qin Xuans words, he felt like he had been greatly pardoned. To be honest, although he was more mature than his peers, dealing with two beauties at the same time wasnt easy for him either. Especially when these two beauties were stronger than him and their backgrounds could crush him.

  Lin Mingzheng was about to leave, when Qin Xingxuan smiled and said: "My name is Qin Xingxuan. If youre ever free from cultivation, feel welcome to visit me at the Marshals Manor anytime."

  Lin Mings footsteps paused for a moment before he reported his own name: "Lin Ming."

  Then Lin Ming strode away, and Qin Xuan didnt even know how to write the character "Ming" in Lin Mings name - was it Lin Ming or Lin Ming? Such a simple two-character name, yet there were too many people with the same name in Tianyun City.

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  After returning from the Seventh Xuanwu Prefecture, Lin Ming had already determined that the Tianxian silk used to make the guqin in the Tianyun country was the Tianxian silk he was looking for. As long as it was confirmed, it would be much easier. The Tianxian silk belongs to the category of qin art, and it is difficult to buy at a trading conference with martial arts as its theme. Lin Ming could only ask Lin Xiaodong to entrust his family to purchase it on their behalf. As a slightly deeper-rooted big family, the Lin family found it not difficult to get Tianxian silk, of course, they needed to pay the market price.

  From the book introduction, Lin Ming had a rough understanding of the price of Tian Can Silk. One foot of Tian Can Silk was worth twenty taels of gold, which didnt sound excessively expensive. However, this was because Tian Can Silk was extremely fine and light. If converted to catties, it would be exaggerated - even ten thousand taels of gold might not be enough to buy just one catty.

  Lin Ming now has only 70 taels of gold, and Tian Can silk can only buy three feet. At the trading meeting, Lin Ming used 800 taels of gold to buy a large pile of materials, but 60 taels of gold could only buy three feet of Tian Can silk. The weight of three feet of Tian Can silk is negligible, which shows its expensiveness.

  Lin Ming stuck the calendar on his bedhead, tearing off one sheet at a time. He planned to reach small success in Inscription during the first month while cultivating, and then spend the next two months buying elixirs and crazily cultivating, making a breakthrough to the second stage of Body Tempering, or even reaching the peak of the second stage of Body Tempering.

  With the strength of the two peaks of Lian Ti, its not that I can surpass Zhu Yan, but at least I wont be at a disadvantage in his hands.

  After practicing with true yuan for thousands of times, Lin Ming finally began to formally practice operating the inscriptions. The initial experience of all inscription masters was accumulated through burning materials, but Lin Ming couldnt ignite them. He had to successfully draw at least one complete inscription symbol using this pile of only 800 taels of golden material.

  Learning divination requires not only intuition and good teachers, but also strong financial support, as well as outstanding spiritual power.

  Because in the process of inscribing, one needs to use soul force to control the structure of energy within the inscribed symbols, Lin Mings soul force had been measured since he was a child and it was also third-grade.

  Three spiritual powers plus three martial arts talents, for a non-martial family, Lin Mings talent is not bad, of course, it cant be considered top-notch.

  The warrior uses soul power in the physical training stage, but not much. Lin Ming is using it for the first time, he starts to operate according to the memory of the masterless soul, and mobilizes the soul power in the spiritual sea.

  Everyone has soul power, but calling it is not something ordinary people can do. It requires a soul formula, which requires day-to-day cultivation. Many rune masters have memorized various symbols and basic theories with great difficulty, but when learning the soul formula, they always fail to get started, unable to use their soul power, and cannot even use materials, let alone qualify for burning materials.

  After Lin Ming operated the Soul Transfer Technique, he immediately felt a sense of familiarity from deep within his memories. This technique must have been used countless times by his senior before his death. Even though the spiritual imprint had disappeared, this sense of familiarity still remained in the masterless soul, saving Lin Ming a great deal of effort. For Lin Ming, there was no need to worry about entering the technique at all.

  He lightly stretched out his hand, and the invisible power of his soul drew out a prepared Tianfeng grass juice from the side. As Lin Mings thoughts changed, a drop of Tianfeng grass juice appeared in various shapes under Lin Mings control, sometimes being pulled into thin threads, and sometimes condensing into crystal clear droplets.

  This feeling of being in the zone, like an extension of his arm, left Lin Ming amazed! To think that in "Mystic Arts for Beginners", it was said that to learn the Soul Ascension Technique, people with good intuition would need a months time, while those with poor intuition might not even succeed after half a year of bitter practice.

  Every Inscription Master has their own Soul Formula, and the quality of these formulas varies. The Inscription Masters treasure their own formulas and may not even teach them to their apprentices, because the quality of the formula directly affects the mastery of soul power, which is extremely important for an Inscription Master!

  Undoubtedly, the "Taiyi Soul Incantation" in that seniors extraordinary memory is the most top-notch soul incantation. Even compared to the inscribed scripture masters of the Tianyan Continent, it is far superior!

  Furthermore, Lin Ming was extremely familiar with this Soul Ascension Platform, and his third-grade soul talent could be used as if it were fourth-grade or even fifth-grade!

  These were the precious treasures left behind by that masterless soul. With his five fingers lightly pinching a seal, a stream of true yuan was injected into this drop of Tianfeng grass juice. Then, Lin Mings fingers drew an empty stroke in mid-air, and as the light flashed from the tip of his finger, the drop of Tianfeng grass juice that had merged with the true yuan quickly formed a beautiful and mysterious symbol.

  The rune was smaller than a fingernail, but it contained complex energy changes. The same rune, due to subtle differences in texture, had different strengths and weaknesses of energy, as well as differences in the souls power itself. One million runemasters would create one million different runes, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Lin Ming didnt know how good or bad his rune was, but he was satisfied with it himself.

  He began to draw the next rune, Di Mu Gens essence, using only half a drop. Lin Ming quickly sealed the imprint, drawing in the liquid that had merged with his true yuan, condensing it into a rune. However, just as the rune was about to take shape, Lin Mings soul force experienced an extremely small fluctuation, resulting in insufficient continuous output. Then, all of a sudden, there was a hissing sound, and that half drop of dark brown liquid turned into flying ash...

  Lin Ming sighed in regret, such a small amount of essence liquid required a catty of Di Mu root to extract, and several taels of gold were gone in an instant, which was the income of ordinary people for several months.

  It can be imagined that the stability of the soul force of those apprentices who are new to the art of inscription is necessarily not as good as their own, and failure is normal. If they succeed, it would be a miracle.

  A blink of an eye is worth several taels of gold, a days expenses are several hundred taels, its like playing around! The art of inscriptions really burns money!

  Having had a failed experience, Lin Ming became even more cautious. As his fingers quickly formed seals, one inscription after another jumped out from between them. Of course, there were also times when he failed, but the number of failures was decreasing.

  Lin Ming was drawing quickly, but soon he found that his true yuan was somewhat unsteady. His cultivation of the first heavy body was too weak, even with the "Hunyuan True Yuan Scripture" supporting him, and the top-notch technique "Taiyi Soul Scripture" controlling his soul force, it was still not enough to complete such a long period of drawing.

  As the true yuan supply became insufficient, Lin Mings talisman drawing could no longer be as smooth as before, and mistakes also increased accordingly. Every mistake was also an extra waste of true yuan.

  The true yuan was dwindling, and Lin Mings inscription process had only progressed halfway, yet he felt an inexplicable sense of desperation. The true yuan within his body was being rapidly drained, and in a moment of distraction, Lin Ming felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. The complex symbols floating before him began to violently shake, nearly dispersing automatically!

  Lin Ming was shocked, and he hastily stabilized his true yuan. Just a moment ago, cold sweat had broken out on the palms of his hands. This messy thing was worth several tens of taels of gold.

  Its worth persisting just for these gold medals!
