So Lin Ming decided not to hide it anymore. He thought of another way, which was to fabricate a fake master to intimidate.
Its impossible for Lin Ming to have achieved this level of mastery without a teacher, and at such a young age. To others, it was clear that he must have had an incredibly powerful master backing him up from behind the scenes. This non-existent master was Lin Mings crutch.
Of course, this is also risky. There are many ruthless people in the world who completely disregard the deterrent behind Lin Ming. If he encounters such a person, Lin Ming will be in great danger.
However, Lin Mings path of martial arts is like a moth flying into the flame. Cultivating martial arts is one way to go, and how can there be no risk? If you are afraid to move forward because of a little risk, then you will never be able to glimpse the highest level of martial arts in your lifetime.
Muyi seemed to have noticed the vigilance in Lin Mings eyes and said to the people behind him: "You all go out for a while."
Soon, everyone in the room left, including Tie Feng, leaving only Mu Yi and Qin Xuan.
Mu Yi casually laid down a true yuan layer and said, "Little brother, I dont have any malicious intentions. This is an isolation layer that Ive set up. We can talk freely without worrying about being overheard outside. I want to ask you, did you create the Blazing Fire Rune Symbol?"
The inscription master is used to the habit of using the icon or function on the inscription symbol as the name of the inscription symbol. Lin Mings inscription symbol has a flame, so it is called the fierce fire inscription symbol by Mu Yi.
Qin Xingxuan also held her breath at this time, her bright eyes staring unwaveringly at Lin Ming, waiting for his response.
Lin Ming hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "It was I who painted it."
If you want to pretend, naturally pretend thoroughly. Only when he himself is stronger will the master behind him be imagined as stronger.
Although he had expected it in his heart, Mu Yi still took a breath of cool air after receiving Lin Mings affirmative reply. Especially Qin Xuan, who felt an intense shock to her mind.
As a fellow epigrapher, she was well aware of just how difficult it was to become a master epigrapher at the age of fifteen!
Qin Xingxuan has always understood that there is a heaven beyond the sky, and people outside of people. Tianyun Country is just a small country on the vast continent of Tiandyu, and she is the number one heavenly proud daughter in Tianyun Country, but if she goes out, she might be just one of the countless talents as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River.
However, Qin Xingxuan had never left the Tianyun Empire after all. The peers around her, even those known as geniuses, couldnt compare to one-tenth of her abilities.
With the six-product martial arts talent, combined with the top-notch inscription technique talent in Tianyun Country, Qin Xuan accumulated countless blessings and favors. She had never found even a hint of frustration among her peers, growing up in such an environment, Qin Xuan inevitably had a hidden pride deep within her heart.
But today, she was defeated by a boy of the same age as him. Although this boys strength is far inferior to hers, his attainments in seal script are far beyond hers.
In the art of inscription, if one says that he is still only a fledgling who has just learned to fly, then he is already a soaring eagle in the high sky, the gap is too big!
Although frustrated, Qin Xingxuan did not feel discouraged, only with an opponent would there be motivation to move forward.
For this young man, Qin Xuan was full of curiosity, and she also hoped to become friends with him, learn more knowledge in future exchanges and sharpening, and improve her own seal cutting skills.
But thinking of her previous invitation being rejected, Qin Xuan felt a little lost and wronged. Girls are originally face-thin, beautiful and proud girls from a good family even more so. So although she wanted to be friends with Lin Ming in her heart, because of that time, she wouldnt take the initiative to invite Lin Ming again.
After Mu Yi received Lin Mings affirmative reply, it took him a while to come back to his senses from the shock. This was really hard for him to believe. Originally, he had guessed that the person who drew the inscription symbol had a cultivation level of no more than threefold refinement of the Practitioner Stage, but now it seemed that he had made another mistake!
Lin Mings cultivation was only at the peak of the first layer of Body Tempering, but because his own True Essence had been condensed and refined, with a solid foundation, he had created this illusion for himself!
Such a refined and pure Yuan Qi, this young man must be practicing a top-notch cultivation technique. This kind of technique is only available in the great sects.
Moreover, this young mans usual cultivation is extremely bitter... For example, he is now using the back of his knife to dismember the ferocious beast, which is probably a kind of cultivation. This young man is very likely to come from a large sect gate, and behind him there must be an incredibly powerful master!
Muyi took a deep breath and asked in a very respectful tone: "May I ask, what is the honorable surname and name of your master?"
Mu Yis status in Tianyun Country was extraordinary, even if he saw the Emperor, he didnt need to bow, using this kind of respectful tone, it can be seen that he had a deep and profound reverence for Lin Mings mysterious master behind his back.
Lin Ming hesitated and said, "This... sorry, senior. My family master once said that its not allowed to mention his name. In fact, even my parents dont know that Ive taken a senior as my master. It was only when I was twelve years old that my master found me and taught me the skills." Lin Ming had lived in Qing Sang City since he was young, so this was easy to verify, which is why he said it to avoid suspicion.
Mu Yi said: "It was I who was abrupt, such a senior and noble person, when the immortal travels all over the world, ordinary people cant see his tracks... Speaking of which, little brothers inscription technique is so outstanding, it doesnt seem to be from the Tianyun country lineage, your master must be someone from the sect..."
Muyi said that he didnt listen to Lin Mings master, but still tried to ask more questions in a roundabout way, after all, this legendary martial arts expert was rarely seen, and once seen, it might be his own opportunity!
Mù Yì had been trapped in the Hòu Tiān realm for a long time, but any warrior would hope to make further progress.
However, without guidance, its too hard to take this step!
Eighty years after the reconstruction of Tianyun Country, many masters of the Congming Realm have emerged, among whom there are also exceptionally talented individuals who have entered the ranks of the post-heavenly experts.
However, if you dont count those who were selected through the Seven Xuanwu Factions and entered the Great Sects Seven Xuan Valley, Tianyun Country hasnt produced a single pre-heavenly expert in eighty years!
If we say that the transition from the Bone Forging Realm to the Pulse Condensation Realm is a single step, then the transition from the Post-Heavenly to the Pre-Heavenly is a heavenly chasm! If one does not rely on the sects teachings and only relies on personal exploration, the possibility of crossing over to the Pre-Heavenly is almost zero!
Muyi is now too late to enter the sect, his only hope is to meet a senior master who can point him in the right direction and give him a glimmer of hope to break through his innate limitations.
He doesnt ask for ultimate perfection, at least let him see the direction of effort, so as not to be confused and unclear about the goal.
Lin Mingdao said: "Shifu is just a hermit, he used to enter the sect."
Mu Yi listened and felt extremely envious, he himself had no chance to enter the sect, while Lin Mings master had already abandoned the sect. He said: "Abandoning the sect to travel, Masters cultivation must have reached an extremely high level. Perhaps even surpassing the Heavenly Fate?"
For Mu Yi, the Innate Realm was already very distant. There were no martial artists outside of sects who had heard of someone entering the Innate Realm alone. As for what lay beyond the Innate Realm, that was an even more distant realm.
After hearing Mu Yis questions, Lin Ming finally understood that this old man had a strong interest in his so-called "master" after his death. Looking at the eagerness in his eyes, he would definitely ask himself again in the future. It was hard to pretend to be ignorant, after all, Mu Yi had lived for so many years and wasnt easy to fool.
Lin Ming thought about it and decided to mention some of the remaining memories in that seniors powerful soul. Although these memories were about his insights into martial arts, they were incomplete and no longer had much value. However, saying them out loud was still quite intimidating.
Lin Ming thought to himself, "I dont know what kind of realm Master is in now, but he once said that the path of martial arts can be divided into two major parts. He has been stuck in the second part all this time."
"Oh? Which two parts?" Mu Yis eyes lit up, afraid of missing a single word. He knew that the opportunity to hear the insights of his seniors was extremely precious.
Including Qin Xingxuan, her bright eyes were shining, staring at Lin Ming without blinking, listening attentively.
