Mu Mingdao said, "Director Wang, I have two things to discuss this time. First, I want to purchase some materials. Second, I'd like to become a guest engraver for the Engravers' Guild, providing services to clients while also earning some points for myself."

  The Association of Inscriptionists has direct inscriptionists, guest inscriptionists and registered inscriptionists. Registered inscriptionists only need to register their names, while the former two need to complete some tasks assigned by the Association of Inscriptionists, such as solving difficult problems for fellow inscriptionists or creating special inscriptions for clients, which are rewarded with points.

  Lin Ming now wants to draw a talisman, no matter his own cultivation and accomplishments in the art of talismans, it's all very difficult to support, he needs to take out special time to practice the art of talismans, however practicing the art of talismans requires money, especially for this high-level talisman, if you want to practice, you often need some precious materials, these precious materials even if you have money, it's not easy to buy them in a short period of time.

  Lin Ming used to conserve his spiritual power, so before he was confident, he wouldn't use any materials and would only simulate with his true essence. This method was too inefficient, but now Lin Ming couldn't afford to waste this time. So, he thought of coming to the Lingtian Sect as a guest Inscription Master, where he would encounter all sorts of difficult problems, which would be the best way to temper himself.

  Moreover, the key is that all kinds of rare and precious materials are provided by the client, saving time and effort, without Lin Ming having to worry at all. Every day, he can come into contact with different precious materials and different problems, and these materials are all provided for free. After completing the task, there are also points rewards. What's more suitable for cultivation than this? However, this method of cultivation is not something that everyone dares to use, because you at least need to guarantee a success rate of 80% to 90%.

  Lin Ming decided to use this opportunity to cultivate his skills, and he had already figured out how to gather those precious materials. Moreover, he no longer intended to conceal his identity as a Linming Master. Initially, Lin Ming didn't have the power or status, but his exceptional skill in Linming techniques allowed him to sell a single Linming symbol for two to three thousand taels of gold, making him like a chicken that lays golden eggs. Some greedy people might try to capture and imprison him for their own benefit, so Lin Ming had kept his identity as a Linming Master hidden.

  Now, Lin Ming is a well-known figure in Tianyun Cave, even the tenth prince doesn't dare to move him. Moreover, he has the double protection of the Seven Xuanwu Sect and the Crown Prince. With such status, Lin Ming naturally didn't need to continue hiding his identity as a Master Artisan. "Guest Master Artisan?" Wang Bao Leng was slightly startled. This title is usually only held by Master Artisans, because if they damage the client's materials or artifacts, the Artisan Association will have to compensate.

  Without a certain foundation, I don't even dare to do this job.

  To become a guest epigrapher, one must undergo the Epigraphers' Guild's rigorous examination. Those who pass are all top-notch figures in the epigraphy world. Lin Ming is indeed exceptional, but that's only compared to his peers. Last time, he drew an epigraph with a symbol increase rate of 32%, which is monstrous among his peers, but still not enough to become a guest epigrapher.

  Moreover, Lin Ming is still too young after all. As a guest lecturer, he has to face various kinds of problems, some of which are quite thorny and require rich experience. Experience is something that cannot be accumulated without years of accumulation.

  If Lin Ming repeatedly fails, it will not only tarnish the reputation of the Inscription Guild but also cause them to worry about the loss of materials and precious artifacts.

  "Mr. Lin can usually handle the problems that come to the Inscription Association, which are not too simple, and because of the precious materials, at least eight out of ten success rate is guaranteed for guest inscriptionists. To solve complex problems, such a high success rate must be guaranteed, even if it's the Inscription Association, only a dozen or so inscriptionists can handle this position." Wang Bole tried to tactfully remind Lin Ming, hoping he would know his limits and retreat, after all, given Lin Ming's current status, the Inscription Association also had to try their best to please him.

  Lin Ming smiled and said: "Director Wang, don't worry about it. How about this? If I fail three times in a row, I will voluntarily withdraw, and for the losses, I will be responsible for compensation."

  "Wang Bolei slightly furrowed his brow, the loss of reputation from three failures was still bearable, but the key point was that Lin Ming was just a kid, and letting a kid create the inscription pattern had ended in failure, how could he explain this to the client?"

  But considering Lin Ming's current status, Wang Wei Mian didn't want to directly refuse him either. After some thought, he nodded and agreed, saying: "Then let's do it three times."

  At this time, Wang Yuheng suddenly spoke up and said: "Mr. Lin, I'd like to ask, do you have a suitable assistant?"

  "Huh? Assistant?"

  Generally, a seal carver will have one or two assistants because many materials cannot be used directly after purchase and need to be processed. For example, some rare plants need to extract juice, and some minerals need to be ground into powder, or use a solvent to extract the effective part, which requires an assistant. In the past, Lin Ming did all these tasks by himself.

  Being an assistant is not a simple job. Many materials are very delicate and can be scrapped if you're not careful, so apprentices of the master craftsman usually take on this role.

  Lin Ming said straightforwardly: "I don't have an assistant."

  Wang Yuhan looked at her grandfather and bit her lip: "Then would you mind if I were your assistant?"

  The girls of Tianyun Country traditionally hold themselves in high esteem, so when a girl takes the initiative to recommend herself as an assistant to a young man, it's inevitably suspected that she has ulterior motives and is trying to get close to him on purpose. This can easily lead to misunderstandings, especially given Lin Ming's sensitive position at present. There are countless girls in Tianyun City who want to marry him, so for Wang Yuheng to say this requires a great deal of courage.

  But thinking of Lin Ming's painting techniques that were clearly not from the same school as Tianyun Guo's, and those unique base patterns and base seals, Wang Yuheng couldn't care about the girl's reserve anymore. She wanted to experience a school outside of Tianyun Guo, and this was the best opportunity.

  Lin Ming hesitated for a moment. With an assistant, he could save a lot of time. With Wang Yuhan's ability, she would definitely be able to handle the materials properly.

  Lin Ming nodded and said: "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Wan. Has Miss Wan had lunch? If she's finished eating, then we can begin."

  Wang Yuhan was slightly stunned, and Lin Ming was indeed swift and decisive. It seemed that things were about to begin.

  "Uh-huh, I've eaten."

  "Okay"

  Lin Ming, Wang Yuhan, Wang Weilong and the receptionist went to the Mingwen Hall together. At this time, it was the lunch break of the guest Mingwen teacher, and there were not many people in the hall, but there were still a few people waiting here, preparing to wait until the end of the lunch break and solve their problems at the first time.

  According to the rules of the Inscription Association, clients can leave their materials and treasures after explaining their problems, but in fact, most clients would rather wait here and watch the guest inscriptionists solve their problems with their own eyes, because no matter whether it's materials or treasures, they are often worth a fortune, so they cannot be at ease.

  Several people had been waiting for a considerable amount of time, and as soon as they saw someone approaching, especially when they saw the president of the Inscription Master Guild, Wang Baoqi, coming over, they immediately perked up. Could it be that President Wang was going to take action personally this afternoon? It's worth noting that nowadays, Wang Xuan is very rarely willing to take action himself. Those who can persuade him to do so are at least dukes or princes, or have reached the pinnacle of their cultivation as top-tier masters. The same materials, when crafted into a masterpiece by Wang Baoqi's hands, would be far superior to those created by ordinary inscription masters.

  If Wang Wanrong is willing to take action, that would be a great stroke of luck!

  Several people stared at Wang Xuan with burning eyes, their gaze as eager as possible.

  As soon as they saw Wang Weijun walking towards them, they hastily welcomed him. A warrior who looked over 40 years old stepped forward and said: "Director Wang, I didn't expect to meet you. Can you take a look at this armor for me?" The warrior then presented an ancient-looking black battle armor.

  This armor looks like it was made from top-grade dark steel, and it's clearly been around for a while. The surface of the armor has some very fine scratches, especially on the chest area, where there is one scratch that is about half an inch long. The end of this scratch extends to the rhombus-shaped visor, which is damaged because of it.

  The rhombus-shaped mark is just an imprint left by the engraved symbol, but because this armor itself has been heavily damaged, the imprint of the engraved symbol has also been destroyed, and the original effect of the engraved symbol has naturally been greatly discounted, or even completely ineffective.

  Treasures are not indestructible, especially armor-type treasures. Accumulated damage over time, combined with attacks from top-notch experts, can cause them to break.

  It's clear that this warrior hopes the Inscriptionists' Guild can repair this inscription, but repairing an inscription that has already been used on a treasure is extremely difficult. This rhombus-shaped inscription is one of the complex inscriptions known as "Divine Power Inscription", and it's not easy to repair. Even Wang Panzhi thinks that this job won't be easy.

  However, giving this job to Lin Ming is quite suitable, because the situation has already gone bad, and even if Lin Ming fails, it won't get any worse.

  The armor won't be damaged, at most it will lose some material, the lost material can be compensated by the Inscription Master's Guild, but if the treasure is damaged, there is no way to recover it.

  Wang Weigong looked at Lin Ming with a smile, he was certain that Lin Ming would not be able to repair the Divine Power Symbol, because Lin Ming did not belong to the Tianyun Nation's Mingwen School of thought, and this Divine Power Symbol was a complex symbol developed by the Tianyun Nation's Mingwen School. If one didn't understand its composition and drawing method, they wouldn't even know where to start.

  Lin Ming will definitely encounter similar problems if he becomes a guest lecturer in the future, and he still can't solve them. It's better to let him know his limitations early on.

  Then, Wang Weilong used Zhenyuan's transmission sound to ask clearly: "How is it, Mr. Lin, do you have a way?"

  At this time, Lin Ming was inserting his spiritual power into the armor, feeling the internal structure of the runes.

  It's extremely difficult to detect a formed soul mark with Soul Power, and if you don't understand the structure of the soul mark itself, there's no way to start.

  Lin Ming furrowed his brow slightly, and finally came to the conclusion that this pavilion-shaped inscription symbol should have some kind of effect in increasing the speed of gathering true essence. As for its structural texture, Lin Ming was completely clueless, after all, the inscription technique system of Tianyun Country was vastly different from that of the Divine Realm.
