"Big sister Yang Xin, please take yours and give theirs to the three uncles Gu Yan, Huyan Ming and Mu Yang", He asked her.
"Okay, little brother Xiao Yan, thank you", She put the papers in her storage ring without looking at them.
"I'll see you next time", He said as he left her.
While going back to the Council Hall, she thought to herself, {So that's what a real genius is like, huh}
Huyan Ming and Mu Yang were looking over the answers on the wall excitedly, they were choosing which answer they would check first.
As for Gu Yan, he was looking at the pill formulas again.
"Xiao Yan gave these to you", She said as she gave them one paper each.
After reading it for a few seconds, the three of them made a breakthrough, leaving a dumbfounded Yang Xin.
The three of them were even more shocked, they had been stuck in their cultivation realm for years now, they thought that they simply reached their limits.
Seeing the three old men in a daze, she looked at her paper and started cultivating. She didn't make a breakthrough but she could tell she would make it with just a few more hours, which left her as excited as them.
Gu Yan started to laugh madly, "Hahaha, we are going into enter a new era thanks to that little genius, I bet that in ten years there will be dozens of Legend Rank in Glory City!"
The three nodded, they even thought that it might be sooner.
He then started to make plans for the next days with Yang Xin and the other two went back to their wall.
——————————
After he left Yang Xin, Xiao Yan went for the Inscriptionist Association. It was just ten minutes away from the Alchemist Association.
Once there, he was surprised to see only one person inside the building, a middle aged woman who was reading a book behind the counter, he used the LoHP on her and he noticed that he already knew who she was.
{Xue Yin, the caretaker of Ye Ziyun. Since years, she is basically her only friend. She is in love with Ziyun's father but never had the courage to confess to him. I need to make a good impression on her}
Walking to her, he said, "Hello big sister, I'm Xiao Yan", {All women like to feel younger}
He was right, she now had a bright smile on her face, "Hello little brother, I'm Xue Yin, the President of the Inscriptionist Association, what can I do for you?"
{So she's the President} "Can I access to your library or is there any restriction?", {I'll first go there before taking the examination}
"So you're interested in inscription patterns? Everyone can freely access to our library, I'll take you there", She said as she happily led him.
"Here is the library, don't hesitate to come to me if you have any questions", She then left him while humming.
{Auntie… You just left a kid who you just met inside the Inscriptionist Association's library? What if I break something? Calling an auntie "big sister" has much more effects than what I thought…}
He then went to add the books inside his LoHP. As there weren't that much, he finished recording the books in just half an hour and he wrote down the technique of Xue Yin before leaving the library. {Since she's stuck at the 5-Star of Gold Rank, I might as well help her}
Back in the main hall, he directly asked her, "Big sister Xue Yin, I would like to pass the Inscriptionist examination"
Surprised at first, she still replied him, "Little brother, there is no examination in our association. You can be considered an Inscriptionist as long as you can make an Inscription Scroll or an Enchanted Equipment. Your rank is determined by the level of your inscriptions. You are considered an Inscriptionist Apprentice if you are able to make Bronze Rank or Silver Rank Inscription Patterns, an Inscriptionist Master for Gold Rank and Black Gold Rank, and finally an Inscriptionist Grandmaster if you manage to draw Legend Rank inscriptions."
"Oh… Then what is the purpose of the Association?", {If people don't need to, why would they come?}
She didn't get offended by his question, instead was pleased that he was quick witted, "For the Enchanted Equipments, none, as the buyers can check the equipment even without understanding the inscriptions. But they can't do so for Inscription Scrolls, as it'll be destroyed once they use it. Even if the shops would compensate the buyers, most of the time they wouldn't since they activate the scrolls in life and death situations, so they don't live long enough to complain to the shop. The Inscription Scrolls bought at our Association are checked by at least one Inscriptionist Master, so we can confirm that it'll activate even without using it. That's why the shops prefer to buy from us than from isolated Inscriptionists"
She thought a little and continued, "As for the Inscriptionists, by coming here they don't have to go to each shop to ask what are the scrolls needed, since here we have the orders of all the shops and families of Glory City. We also sell the best tools and materials to make Inscription Scrolls and Enchanted Equipments. They usually look at the orders to choose the one they want to take, buy the materials needed, return to their home, come back when they finished to have the order checked by the Association and finally get paid by the buyer"
{So that's why she's alone…}
"I understand. Big sister, can I look at the orders?"
"Hehe, of course little brother", She smiled while taking three books from her storage ring, then continued, "This book contains the orders of Inscriptions Scrolls and this one the Enchanted Equipments. As for this one, it lists the tools and materials that we sell. Feel free to look at them"
{That's the power of the "big sister" attack!}
He first used the LoHP on the three book to have them in his mind, then took the one concerning Inscription Scrolls and started to look through it.
