"Ming Ge, Ming Ge, open the door quickly!"

  Lin Ming heard this voice and immediately smiled, it was Lin Xiaodong.

  "Wow! Ming Ge, you are my life idol! Good guy, first place! Youre too awesome!"

  Lin Xiaodong couldnt keep up from the second round of exams, so he didnt know about Lin Mings subsequent situation and just received the news.

  "Uh, I performed pretty well yesterday, and with these recent improvements, I managed to get first place."

  "Come on, lets go have some drinks, brothers."

  "Okay! But its not time for dinner yet, lets go buy some things first."

  Lin Ming said, taking out a piece of paper and beginning to list the materials needed for the Spirit Medicine Symbol. The great abilitys memory contained many types of Spirit Medicine Symbols, but Lin Ming chose the simplest one, called "Low-Grade Spirit Medicine Symbol". This Spirit Medicine Symbol could only be used on low-grade elixirs, and in the eyes of that great ability, even the priceless Red Gold Dragon Marrow Elixir and Golden Snake Scarlet Gallbladder Pills were considered "low-grade elixirs" in Tianyun Country.

  With Lin Mings current abilities, drawing this low-grade spiritual medicine symbol was already his limit. Moreover, many of the materials for high-grade spiritual medicine symbols were things that Lin Ming had never even heard of.

  However, even among these low-grade spiritual medicine symbols, many of the materials are extremely rare.

  Lin Xiaodong saw that Lin Mingyi had written a full article, although he didnt understand the script at all, but there were several materials that anyone who could read would recognize, such as "Fourth-level ferocious beast blood".

  "Ming Ge, you want to buy a fourth-level fierce beasts blood? No way!"

  It turns out that the Red Golden Dragon is only a fourth-level fierce beast, which is equivalent to a postnatal master. The blood of this fierce beast in Tianyun Country is not completely unbuyable, but its absolutely priceless. Generally, such things are transported from abroad, and one or two of them are worth thousands of gold.

  Lin Ming continued writing, and many materials made Lin Xiaodongs heart skip a beat. He couldnt help but ask, "Brother Ming, do you have that much money?"

  Lin Ming nodded, "A few days ago, Mr. Mu Yi left a gold ticket worth 15,000 taels of gold with me and said that if theres a powerful talisman in the future, just have someone deliver it to him directly."

  "One... fifteen thousand taels... good heavens!" Lin Xiaodong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, last time it was nine thousand taels, this time fifteen thousand taels, he suddenly felt a bit numb, as if the gold had completely become just a number.

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  If you say that Tianyun City has the most complete inscription materials for sale, its not Baibao Hall or auction houses, but the Inscription Master Guild of Tianyun City.

  There are various rare materials for sale that cant be found elsewhere, and theyre also much cheaper.

  "What? Is this really happening?" Lin Xiaodong was incredulous after getting the information from Lin Ming, "This cant be true, unless the head of the Mingwen Society has gone crazy. If I were in charge, I wouldnt sell it for anything less than a sky-high price."

  Lin Ming shrugged and said, "I also just heard about it."

  They just spent some time going to several luxury stores and official auction houses, where many rare materials cant be found.

  "Then lets hurry up and go to the Inscription Master Guild."

  "Hmm... it cant be helped." Lin Ming suspected that buying things at the Inscription Master Guild required an Inscription Masters identity. Given his current strength and inscription level, Lin Ming didnt want to reveal his Inscription Master identity, which would lead to a lot of trouble and potential danger. Although he had Mu Yis protection, Lin Ming also didnt want to bother Mu Yi too much.

  ……

  "Not only do you need a Monumental Certification, but also contribution points to purchase?" Lin Ming had come to the Monumental Master Guild wanting to buy these rare materials, and received this response from the miss who was in charge of receiving guests.

  "I knew it, nothing good comes easily!" Lin Xiaodong spread his hands, this is normal.

  "What is contribution value?" Lin Ming asked.

  "Hmm... it seems your teacher isnt a Rune Master from the Tianyun Country." The receptionist naturally assumed that Lin Ming was there to buy materials for his teacher. "Contribution value is a record of the contributions made by Rune Masters to the Rune Master Guild, such as completing tasks published by the Rune Master Guild or holding certain positions in the guild for an extended period. Of course, contribution values can also be gifted and traded, and can be obtained from other Rune Masters. There are many ways to obtain contribution value; you can take a look at the rules of the Rune Master Guild if your teacher is interested in joining."

  The Epigraphers Guild is a loose organization, and many epigraphers are old men who focus on their studies and rarely go out. If some kind of contribution system is not established, the guilds presence will be very weak. I estimate that hardly any epigraphers will join, and even if they do, they will seldom come to the guild.

  Lin Ming looked at the rules of the Inscription Master Guild, as long as he joined the Inscription Master Guild, he could immediately obtain 100 contribution points. There were also various ways to obtain contribution points, including selling rare materials to the Inscription Master Guild.

  "Rubbish! With such precious materials, of course, he used them himself and also sold them to the Mingwen Masters Guild." Lin Xiaodong snorted in disdain.

  Lin Mingdao said, "Some materials are not useful to me personally, and keeping them is useless, so its better to sell them for something I can use. None of the methods to obtain contribution points suit me, only completing tasks is a viable option."

  Lin Ming said, turning to the receptionist, "Miss, where can I complete the task?"

  "To complete the task, you need to go to the Task Hall, but if you dont have a Rune Master qualification certificate, you cant enter. If your teacher is interested, they can come and take a look themselves. Joining the Rune Master Guild has many benefits." The receptionist introduced enthusiastically.

  Lin Ming thought for a moment and said: "Can your Linwen Master Association keep the identity of its members confidential?"

  "This is certainly possible, if your teacher has such a need, we guarantee confidentiality of all materials."

  "Alright then, how will you assess me? Can I go participate now?"

  "Huh?" The receptionists eyes widened.

  Lin Ming shrugged and said, "I am just a Lin Wen Shi."

  "The receptionist looked Lin Ming up and down from head to toe and asked with her mouth open, May I ask, how old are you..."

  Fifteen.

  "Fifteen years old? Hmm..." The receptionist was speechless upon hearing this age, guessing that the young man in front of her had probably learned from a relatively powerful rune master and also had some natural talent, achieving quite a bit. However, becoming a rune master at fifteen was simply too exaggerated - the record for Tianyun Country over the past eighty years was only eighteen years old.

  Now there are only two people who have hope of breaking this record: Qin Xingxuan from the Marshals Mansion and Wang Yuheng from the Mingwen Shigonghui.

  "Little brother, when participating in the Rune Master assessment, you need to prepare your own equipment and materials." The receptionist kindly reminded that after the rune is made, it can only be seen effective after use. Generally speaking, the primary rune masters runes are not very good, and if they are engraved on a treasure, it would be a waste of the treasures rune opportunity. Even if the Rune Master Association is wealthy, it cannot afford such consumption. Therefore, the examinee needs to bring their own equipment and materials, which also eliminates some half-baked rune master apprentices from coming here to take the assessment for fun. After all, a set of rune materials is not cheap.

  "Hmm, I know, I think you have prepared experimental treasures, I can pay to buy them." Lin Ming said, taking out several gold notes from his clothes, all of which were worth one thousand two.

  Seeing Lin Ming casually take out so many golden tickets, the receptionist was somewhat astonished. This wasnt a small amount, and many young masters from wealthy families didnt even have such precious items.

  Lin Ming didnt seem to be joking, and he said to the receptionist, "Since you insist, then follow me."

  Lin Ming followed the receptionist into the interior of the Linwen Master Guild, and Lin Xiaodong also followed. Seeing the various intricate symbols on the walls along the way, Lin Xiaodong was very excited.

  The decoration of the Association of Inscriptionists is not luxurious, but it is very spacious and atmospheric. There are no murals or decorations on the walls, instead, they are all replaced by various intricate symbols. Each symbol is a metal carving, with a strong texture, giving people a mysterious and ancient feeling.

  "Its here." The receptionist pushed open a door and made a welcoming gesture.

  This is a stele room of the Stele Pavilion, which can be used for examination purposes.

  "Ah, thank you."

  Lin Ming walked into it, this inscription room was ten feet square, in the center of the inscription room was a green inscription stone platform, the platform was filled with materials, at this time on one of the platforms, a 15 or 16 year old girl was quickly drawing out one after another bright and beautiful symbol.

  Her slender fingers, like agile spirits, danced nimbly as she gazed intently at the symbols with her bright, beautiful eyes. The girl was completely absorbed in her drawing, oblivious to Lin Ming and Lin Xiaodongs arrival. Her technique for drawing talismanic characters was extremely skilled, as if she were a highly accomplished musician, and those jumping, floating talismans were like lively notes under her fingers.

  Next to the girl, there was an old man sitting in a taishi chair, seemingly closing his eyes and resting his mind. However, Lin Ming knew that this old mans spiritual power was actually focused on the girl. Every stroke of her brush was under his control.
