Chapter 1570 – Third Grade Divine Runic Master Examination
…
…
…
Normally, before a martial artist became a third grade divine runic master they would study for dozens of years or even over a hundred years of time.
The reason that the time fluctuated so much was because even as a young martial artist studied the divine runic arts, they still had to put time into cultivating. And, different people would divide their time in varying proportions. If someone invested more time into the divine runic arts then they would learn it faster than others, but no matter how much time they invested it would still take 20-30 years.
But compared to Lin Ming, who wasn't even sixty years of age, Old Xue could go crazy and still not figure out how Lin Ming had allocated his time.
How could he dual cultivate body and energy, opening the complete Eight Inner Hidden Gates and even achieving a Divine Lord realm cultivation as he even practiced the divine runic arts to such a degree?
"Are you sure you want to take the third grade divine runic master examination?"
Lin Ming nodded. "Yes, this junior only wishes to try; I am not fully confident that I will pass."
Lin Ming was indeed unable to ascertain whether or not he would be able to successfully draw up a third grade divine runic symbol. Even if he failed somewhere he should still be close to reaching the third fusion step, and once he truly began the third step, then completing a third grade divine runic symbol shouldn't be too difficult.
The third step of the divine runic arts was Lin Ming's greatest advantage.
If Lin Ming could become a third grade divine runic master and then join the Divine Runic Masters Guild, his status would be completely different from that of a second grade divine runic master.
Young second grade divine runic masters like Qin Yi were rare in the inner Asura Road, but they existed. Every influence was always raising a new generation every ten years, and after so much time there were bound to be some extraordinary individuals that appeared.
The reason that Qin Yi seemed so splendid here was because the Divine Runic Masters Guild would hold examinations every year, year after year. Because of this, it was not possible to concentrate the number of geniuses together. If the geniuses of the last thousand years of the Divine Runic Masters Guild were added up then that would be a dreadful number.
However, for Lin Ming, if he could become a third grade divine runic master at his young age then that would be something that might not happen in a thousand or even ten thousand years.
In this sort of situation, Lin Ming would be highly valued by the Divine Runic Masters Guild. With this status, everything would be much easier for him to do.
As for what others would do such as suspecting him or conspiring to ruin him, Lin Ming wasn't afraid of this. In terms of individual combat strength he could already fight an ordinary World King. And with Xiao Moxian's help as well as the life-saving card of Primordius Heavenly Palace, Lin Ming could calmly retreat even if he faced a middle level World King.
And if he had to face a spiritas, then Lin Ming also had the fatal divine tool that was their ultimate nemesis!
Lin Ming didn't fear middle level World Kings and World Kings weren't like cabbages spread everywhere. Looking at the entire Divine Runic Masters Guild, a World King was at the rank of an Elder. There were even some sixth grade divine runic masters with a half-step World King cultivation.
Thus, Lin Ming had the ability to protect himself in the Divine Runic Masters Guild.
And most importantly, no one knew of his true strength. This provided an extra layer of protection for him.
"Since you passed the second grade divine runic master examination, then according to the rules of the Divine Runic Masters Guild you can choose to continue onwards to the third grade divine runic masters examination. Besides Lin Ming, does anyone else wish participate in the third grade
div runic master examination?"
The white-robed Elder looked at Qin Yi. Out of everyone else present, only Qin Yi had completed the second grade divine runic master examination, thus he also had the qualifications to join Lin Ming.
Qin Yi's complexion changed, becoming extremely ugly.
He had nearly no hope of successfully drawing up a third grade divine runic symbol.
In fact, at the start, Qin Yi had been planning to join the third grade divine runic master examination. But, this was not because he thought of passing it but because he wanted to show off his dazzling skills.
In drawing up a third grade divine runic symbol, Qin Yi could complete 70-80% of it. It was only the final step of fusing together the Asura Heavenly Dao that he could not succeed at.
But now, he had been grouped together with this freak Lin Ming. Lin Ming clearly had plans of joining the third grade divine runic master examination, so how could Qin Yi possibly join him just to act as a foil and make him shine brighter?
He grit his teeth, remaining silent. This was the same as admitting he was withdrawing from the third grade examination.
"Mm… then it's only Lin Ming who will take the examination? Alright then, Lin Ming, you come with me to the side room… I will allow you to rest for 10 hours in a time enchantment. Then, you can choose the materials you need. If you can complete any third grade divine runic symbol then you'll have passed."
The white-robed Elder said. Giving Lin Ming 10 hours to rest was more than enough.
Lin Ming didn't want to rest for such a long time but he didn't decline the offer. After giving his thanks, he walked towards the side room.
Allowing Lin Ming to change environments and undergo the examination in the side room was to reduce external disturbances to the lowest amount.
This was also to increase Lin Ming's chances of passing the third grade divine runic master examination.
The white-robed Elder was secretly hoping that Lin Ming would pass the third grade divine runic mater examination. To the Divine Runic Masters Guild this would be a cause worthy of great celebration. Once this matter was passed on to the other divine runic master organizations then they would earn considerable face.
Moreover, Lin Ming would inevitably have amazing achievements in the future. After Lin Ming became some powerful and mighty figure, then this white-robed Elder would also be able to boast that he was the one who personally oversaw his third grade divine runic master examination.
...…..
Lin Ming followed the white-robed Elder to a side room. After he left, Clearshadow and Dreampearl also finished their own second grade divine runic master examinations. Unfortunately, they had both failed to complete their divine runic symbols by the tiniest amount.
In ordinary times, if Clearshadow and Dreampearl had been able to display their usual skill then they would have been able to complete a second grade divine runic symbol. But today, seemingly because the appearance of Lin Ming and Qin Yi placed a considerable amount of pressure on them, they hadn't been able to display their highest level of skill. After failing twice, this meant they had failed their examination.
Upon failing the examination, the two young women looked forlorn and depressed. Old Xue and Old Su quickly cheered them up with some words, but at this time they also discovered that Qin Yi, who had completed his second grade divine runic master examination, had an extremely ugly complexion.
What happened?
Did Qin Yi also fail?
If Qin Yi failed then that would have provided a little bit of comfort to Clearshadow and Dreampearl. But, this didn't seem likely.
"Teacher, what happened to Qin Yi? He shouldn't have failed his examination, right?"
Before this, Clearshadow and Dreampearl had both been in a completely focused state so they didn't know what had happened around them.
"Qin Yi…" Old Xue forced a smile. "He indeed passed the examination and he did so extremely splendidly.
But what a pity, there is always someone stronger than the strong. Lin Ming completed his second grade divine runic symbol even more perfectly, and, what is most perturbing of all is that after Lin Ming finished his second grade divine runic master examination he wanted to carry on to the third grade divine runic master examination. As for Qin Yi, he gave up. He likely knew he didn't have the ability to pass… this is the same as admitting that he is inferior to Lin Ming, so how could his complexion be any good?"
In Old Xue's opinion, Qin Yi's talent in the divine runic arts should be the best amongst the juniors of Divine Void Divine Kingdom. For him to be frustrated like this by one of his peers, this was definitely an attack on his mindset.
After listening to Old Xue's words, Clearshadow and Dreampearl's mouths fell open. They weren't able to respond for a long time.
"Teacher… are you saying that Lin Ming, he… he is continuing on to the third grade divine runic master examination?"
"That's right. Lin Ming should have already started his examination by now."
Lin Ming had rested for 10 hours within a time enchantment. Now that half an hour had passed, he should have started his examination by now.
"This is… the third grade divine runic master examination…"
Clearshadow and Dreampearl were both in a muddled daze. The two of them hadn't even been able to complete the second grade divine runic master examination and yet Lin Ming went straight to the third grade examination!
How could they live like this!
For a time, both of them were immensely frustrated.
Old Su saw the emotions plain on their faces, and said with a comforting tone, "Lin Ming won't necessarily pass the third grade examination. His chances of passing the third grade examination might not be higher than your chances of passing the second grade examination. Your problems were that you weren't able to display your true skill today, but that isn't something you should be discouraged by. Instead, that Qin Yi was likely struck harder by this than you two were."
Old Su said, nudging his head towards Qin Yi.
At this time, Qin Yi was sitting in the resting area, his face grim and cloudy as if someone in his family had died.
Although he looked like he was calmly sipping tea, his eyes were glued to the doors of the side room. It was obvious that he cared a great deal about Lin Ming's results.
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, another two hours passed.
Lin Ming's examination was already halfway over.
Chapter 1571 – Divine Runic Master Prodigy
…
…
…
Because of the door to the side hall, Qin Yi wasn't able to see how Lin Ming's examination was going. This caused him to be especially restless. He took up his teacup and then placed it down, looking at the time throughout.
Almost three hours…
Although a third grade divine runic symbol was far more difficult than a second grade divine runic symbol, the time it took wasn't that much longer. Three hours should be more than enough to draw up the main form of a divine runic symbol.
And after the main form was the most difficult fusion step.
That was the crux for how to draw up a third grade divine runic symbol!
"This boy, he shouldn't really be able to succeed, right…?" Old Xue whispered to himself, looking again and again at the door to the side hall. "No, I must take a look at the situation myself…"
....
At this time, in the side hall, Lin Ming's drawing had reached the most critical phase. He had chosen one of the simplest third grade divine runic symbols.
He didn't have full confidence that he would be able to pass the third grade divine runic master examination, so choosing a simpler divine runic symbol would make things a bit easier.
Beautiful tiny runes floated atop the tip of Lin Ming's divine runic pen. At this time, his concentration was completely focused and his forehead was wet with beads of sweat.
Not too far away, the white-robed Elder and several deacons were steadily watching Lin Ming's actions.
As Lin Ming became increasingly close to finishing the main form of the divine runic symbol, all of them watched with breath abated. After that would be the most critical step! A single mistake would cause utter defeat.
At this time, a sound transmission echoed in the white-robed Elder's ears; it was Old Xue. He was requesting a projection of Lin Ming's examination.
For a spiritas martial artist, using their soul force to form a projection wasn't difficult at all. Moreover, this wouldn't affect Lin Ming's third grade divine runic master examination.
The white-robed Elder nodded once and took out a crystal ball from his spatial ring. Then, he completely recorded the image of Lin Ming's third grade divine runic symbol and projected it outside.
As this scene was projected outside, everyone suddenly stood up. Old Xue and Old Su's eyes shined with a bright light as they saw this. Qin Yi's face darkened; in the phantom, Lin Ming had already completed drawing up the main form of the divine runic symbol.
Lin Ming had taken out a blue soul level god rune; following this would be the third step, fusing together the Heavenly Dao Laws.
From a third grade divine runic symbol to a sixth grade divine runic symbol, what were used were blue soul level god runes. But, even amongst blue soul god runes there were differences in quality.
The blue soul level god rune that Lin Ming had taken out was a relatively low rank one.
With a flick of his right arm, the blue soul god rune dissolved into lines of the Asura Heavenly Dao.
Underneath Lin Ming's hands, these Heavenly Dao lines began to fuse into the divine runic symbol in a neat and meticulous order.
In the process of fusing the Asura Heavenly Dao, the slightest mistake would cause the structure of the entire divine runic symbol to collapse. Lin Ming's movements were like a daredevil balancing atop a thin steel wire; a single mistake would wipe out everything.
"Teacher, can he succeed?"
Dreampearl asked absent-mindedly from beside Old Xue.
Old Xue earnestly said, "The third fusion step is the most difficult step in creating a third grade divine runic symbol. He has only just begun and this process should take at least over an hour. And, there cannot be a single mistake during this entire process… it's difficult to say!"
"The third step has started. Everything before this I can also do!"
Qin Yi grimly said.
He wasn't boasting either. In his normal peak condition, Qin Yi could also complete the main form of a third grade divine runic symbol.
However, Qin Yi could at most finish half of the third step. This was because the third step was far too difficult. By the time he reached the midway point, he would have greatly overdrawn his soul force. As a result, by that time he could only watch helplessly on as the structural system of the divine runic symbol collapsed in his hands.
Out of everyone present, Qin Yi was the one who didn't want Lin Ming to succeed the most. He even cursed Lin Ming in his heart, fervently hoping that he would fall short and fail during the fusion process.
Time slowly passed. One quarter hour, two quarter hours… Lin Ming's movements remained calm and steady throughout. What no one knew was that after Lin Ming practiced the Asura Sutra, his understand of the Asura Heavenly Dao had reached a phenomenal level. Although the third step was the most difficult to others, it was actually the simplest step for Lin Ming.
For a divine runic symbol, as long as Lin Ming could complete the main form then there shouldn't be any problems finishing the rest. To him, fusing in the Asura Heavenly Dao was a breeze.
However, he didn't want to be overly shocking to everyone, thus he slowed down his speed and finished the third step a little at a time.
In that moment, an hour had passed!
Lin Ming didn't have a single problem in this hour. He smoothly completed 90% of the fusion process.
At this time, whether it was the white-robed Elder, Old Xue, or Old Su, all of them held their breath. They could faintly feel that some glorious event was occurring, as if they were witnessing the rise of something momentous!
"Could… could he really succeed…?" Qin Yi's eyelids jumped up. He felt this was far too unbelievable.
After another incense stick of time, the final lines of the Asura Heavenly Dao fused into the divine runic symbol. In that instant, the entire divine runic symbol lit up with a brilliance beyond compare.
Third grade divine runic symbol – complete!
At this point, the phantom projection vanished. The white-robed Elder couldn't be bothered with maintaining it. Rather, he hurried forth to examine the divine runic symbol that Lin Ming drew up.
"This is incredible!"
Old Xue and Old Su stood up. They rushed forwards, pushing open the door to the side room to evaluate the result themselves.
Everyone followed in close pursuit, wanting to bear witness to this momentous occasion.
"How is it?"
Old Xue asked as soon as he stepped through the door.
At this time, the white-robed Elder had sunk his soul force into the divine runic symbol. After a moment of probing, he handed over the divine runic symbol.
"Take a look yourself."
Old Xue and Old Su were already burning with impatience.
They nearly snatched the divine runic symbol as they sunk their divine sense into it. Looking around, they could clearly see the situation within. They both sucked in a cold breath of air. Not only was this divine runic symbol complete, but it was impeccable in nearly all aspects!
The two old men looked at each other in shock. Then, they turned towards Lin Ming. They no longer knew just what to say to him.
After looking at Lin Ming for a long time, Old Xue wryly smiled, "This brat, I really want to cut him open and study him…"
A year ago, Old Xue had met Lin Ming in the internal trading area of the Divine Runic Masters Guild. At that time, he never would have expected that the little kid who he didn't even want to bother responding to would produce such a shocking event.
As Lin Ming heard Old Xue's words, he felt they were a bit insensitive. Slice him open and study him?
He knew that Old Xue was only joking around, but it was true that his influence and relationships were lacking; this was something he was extremely sensitive about. He couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be anyone in the Divine Runic Masters Guild who would have such an idea. After all, his skeletal age was a bit too conspicuous. For him to have such achievements at his skeletal age, it was inevitable that there would be some people who had their own suspicious and would want to investigate him.
If it were a World King then Lin Ming naturally wouldn't fear them. But, if an Empyrean were interested in him, then that would not be a good development.
"This fellow, just which divine runic grandmaster's apprentice is he? Could it be a hidden seventh grade divine runic master?"
Old Su thought out loud, looking back into his memories. Even after thinking for some time, he still couldn't think of such a great expert in the entire inner Asura Road. Lin Ming's divine runic arts technique was far too abnormal.
Hearing Old Su and Old Xue's words, Lin Ming's thoughts stirred. That was right, he should come up with a hidden grand expert master who was teaching him.
In the divine runic arts, it was nearly impossible for someone to achieve great success without a master teaching them. Lin Ming was young and had such attainments in the divine runic arts that if he said he had no master, no one would believe him. Rather, it would be said that not only did Lin Ming have a master, but his master was disgustingly formidable. This secret master was likely a seventh grade divine runic master, an Empyrean, and perhaps even above an Empyrean!
This person must have personally taught Lin Ming and meticulously guided him through every step of the divine runic arts. When this was added along with Lin Ming's own amazing perception and talent, only then could that legendary moment have occurred just now.
As Lin Ming realized all of this, he was became willing to push things along and smooth the road, making up a master for himself.
A powerful master would give him an extra layer of safety and deter some of those people who thought of plotting against him.
In fact, if Lin Ming were to say he had a True Divinity as a teacher there would still be people that believed him. After all, whether it was in divine runic arts or individual strength, Lin Ming far surpassed the geniuses of a True Divinity Holy Land!
Chapter 1572 – Entering the Guild
…
…
…
"Hey little fellow, how about we talk for a bit."
After Lin Ming obtained the qualifications to become a third grade divine runic master, he knew that these several old geezers would have many questions they would want to ask him; this was something he couldn't avoid.
Lin Ming nodded, "Well, that's fine, we can speak in another room."
"If you will."
The white-robed Elder, Old Su, and Old Xue brought Lin Ming to a different room. After passing through the door, Old Xue turned and said to his apprentice Dreampearl, "The lot of you can wait outside."
Dreampearl scratched her head, curiously looking towards the room. She also wanted to know what Lin Ming's status was but she had been blocked by Old Xue.
She pursed her lips, muttering, "It's like they are trying to keep everything a secret, what's so great about knowing anyways."
Dreampearl sat on a stone chair, not feeling very happy. She was filled with curiosity towards this human youth that was around her age and in fact really did want to know where Lin Ming came from and how he practiced to become so formidable.
"That fellow should have a powerful master."
Clearshadow said from beside Dreampearl.
"Definitely… and they are probably much fiercer than our masters…"
Dreampearl said without mincing her words. As Old Xue heard this just as he was closing the door, he nearly choked on himself.
"This rascally girl!"
Old Xue awkwardly coughed. He could only pretend that he didn't hear this. But, this was the truth. As he measured his own level, he felt that it was impossible for him to teach an apprentice like Lin Ming. Even an extremely good piece of jade would need a grandmaster to cut and polish it into a perfect piece of art. The level of a master was extremely important in determining the level of an apprentice.
The three old men sat in front of Lin Ming. The white-robed Elder took out a divine runic master's robe and a divine runic master badge.
"This is for you. This badge will serve as your third grade divine runic master certificate and this divine runic master robe is also the uniform of the Divine Runic Masters Guild. In the Asura Road, the styles of badges and robes differ between the varying great influences that offer them, but they are mostly the same besides some minor differences…"
"Mm, thank you."
Lin Ming nodded. He waved his hand and this robe appeared on his body.
The divine runic master robe produced by the Divine Runic Masters Guild was in essence manifestations of energy produced by runes. Whether it was putting it on or taking it off, one only needed to think it.
As Lin Ming put on the robe he could feel the surrounding heaven and earth origin energy as well as the Laws being dragged towards it. Even his soul force was being faintly nourished. It was clear that this robe wasn't some ordinary piece of clothing.
As for the badge, it was a carefully crafted magic tool that made one's soul force and mental focus more concetrated. The two objects were above the level of a medium-grade spirit artifact.
"Seniors, if you have any questions then this junior will try to answer to the best I can." After Lin Ming put on the dressings of a divine runic master, his tall figure perfectly accented his new clothing, making him seem ethereal and elegant.
"There are a few questions I would like to ask. What I am very curious about is just who is your teacher? No matter how much I think of it, I cannot think of anyone in the entire inner Asura Road that would be able to secretly and quietly teach an apprentice like you."
Without Lin Ming saying anything first, the white-robed Elder directly asked Lin Ming about his teacher.
The inner Asura Road had many divine runic master organizations and they fiercely competed against each other. If they could pull a top master to join their guild, that was an event worthy of great celebration. It would be far greater than bringing in a junior like Lin Ming.
Lin Ming said, "My teacher has been living in seclusion for many years, and is unwilling to disclose his identity…"
Lin Ming had already thought up a good answer. As for the white-robed Elder, a look of deep disappoint appeared on his face. But in truth he had already anticipated this. Such a divine runic grandmaster would receive the greatest standard of reception and respect from any influence. If this person wanted to make themselves public they would have already done so. Moreover, this person might not want to join the Divine Runic Masters Guild to begin with.
Still, the white-robed Elder didn't give up. He continued to ask, "Then let me venture another question: just what grade of a divine runic master is your teacher?"
The white-robed Elder already guessed that Lin Ming's teacher was at least a seventh grade divine runic master. He might even surpass the current President of the Divine Runic Masters Guild.
Lin Ming said, "I apologize. It isn't that I don't want to say it but because I do not know what the level of my teacher's divine runic arts has reached. According to what I know, teacher has already been in deep seclusion for 100-200 million years. Even if he were to come out of hiding, I fear that not many people would recognize him…"
Lin Ming concocted a wild story. But in this specific situation with his awe-inspiring performance just now, no matter how ridiculous his words were, those present still might believe him. This was because they truly did think that Lin Ming had such a heaven-shaking teacher.
"Seclusion… for 100-200 million years!" The white-robed Elder's eyebrows jumped up. He looked at the two other old men, fear and awe coloring his complexion.
Old Xue gulped. Even though he had expected that Lin Ming's teacher was extremely terrifying, if Lin Ming's master had gone into seclusion for 100-200 million years then wouldn't that make his true age around 200-300 million years old?
Such an age already far exceeded the 100 million year lifespan limit of an Empyrean.
Then, it was either that Lin Ming's teacher had used some secret technique to go into deep hibernation, or that he was a True Divinity level powerhouse!
And in Old Xue's opinion, the latter possibility was a bit more likely…
Thinking of Lin Ming's master, Old Xue forced a smile. "I must say kid, you tricked me well. You were clearly under the guidance of a divine runic grandmaster and yet you acted like you didn't know anything about the divine runic arts. It seems you really wanted to play around with an old man like me… by the way, when you bought that jade from me…"
Old Xue's eyes widened. He felt that he had been hoodwinked by Lin Ming once again! That jade piece of indeterminable origin might have been some sort of extraordinary treasure.
"Hey little fellow, you were quite particular in buying that little piece of jade. Why don't you tell me more about it so that I can widen my horizons…"
Old Xue puckered his lips, feeling sad. He was now 99% sure that he had sold that broken jade for a major loss!
"Jade?" Lin Ming pretended to be surprised. "Oh, I remember. A year ago I found that broken jade in your stall and thought it was some amazing ancient treasure, but after I took it to be appraised by my master the result was that I had been mistaken. Sure enough, there were no advantages for me…"
Lin Ming flippantly said. But, Old Xue didn't believe this at all. With a pained expression he said, "Come on, just tell me honestly what the jade was. I've already been conned by you so you can tell me what it is right? Since my eyes were poor I can only blame myself for that. I just want to know what use that little trinket had."
Senior… you've really… thought too much about this…" A cunning light flashed in Lin Ming's eyes but he concealed it well. No matter what Old Xue said, Lin Ming definitely wouldn't disclose the origins of that jade piece. This caused Old Xue to feel even more depressed. He was more and more sure that he had been bamboozled by Lin Ming, and as a divine runic master who was proud of his appraisal ability, the most painful and aggrieving matter was to be swindled by others and not know how.
Old Xue seemed to want to ask something else, but at this time the white-robed Elder dryly coughed a few times and said, "Lin Ming, let's speak about formal matters now. I want to ask you – do you have any intentions of joining my Divine Runic Masters Guild?"
This matter was the most important question that the white-robed Elder wanted to ask Lin Ming.
He originally inquired about Lin Ming's teacher because he still had hopes that there was a one-in-a-million chance he could win over Lin Ming's teacher and have him join the divine runic masters guild.
But as he expected, that wouldn't be possible. So, his most vital task now was to win Lin Ming over to join their Divine Runic Masters Guild.
For an organization like the Divine Runic Masters Guild, the most essential factor of their strength was the quantity and quality of their divine runic masters.
The reason that Divine Rune City was able to develop to its current scale was because they relied on their many divine runic masters as well a decent number of alchemists.
The more powerful and the greater number of divine runic masters there were, the more influential the Divine Runic Masters Guild would become. In particular, seventh grade divine runic masters had a great appeal, one that drew in many others. This sort of divine runic grandmaster would always be able to draw in divine runic masters from nearby regions so that they would join the Divine Runic Masters Guild out of their admiration.
At the same time, a great number of influences would rush here to cooperate with the Divine Runic Masters Guild, providing all sorts of favorable conditions for them.
Over time, Divine Rune City would become increasingly prosperous. In terms of all sorts of transactions, access to talented individuals, possession of rare and precious resources, everything would rise exponentially.
Thus, it could be said that the influence and strength of the Divine Runic Masters Guild was closely intertwined with everyone's benefits in Divine Rune City.
If the Divine Runic Masters Guild ever declined, then Divine Rune City would exist in name only.
"You don't have to be in a hurry to respond. First, let me tell you about the advantages of joining the Divine Runic Masters Guild…" The white-robed Elder took out a handbook and handed it to Lin Ming.
"This is the internal handbook of the Divine Runic Masters Guild. It has the rules and conditions that members must abide by. If you join the Divine Runic Masters Guild then if you purchase materials in Divine Rune City, we can offer you a 15% discount. This is the highest discount and not even Elders have a better deal. Of course, new divine runic masters definitely do not receive this treatment.
"You will also possess the authority to browse the jade slips in the Divine Runic Masters Guild's library. Even if it is the most core jade slip inheritances, you will still have the ability to apply for viewing.
In addition, every month the Divine Runic Masters Guild will give you a fixed number of contribution points. In the Divine Runic Masters Guild, these contribution points are used to purchase all sorts of rare and precious materials and they are also much handier than origin energy runes. If you have points then you have rights to purchase materials before anyone else."
The white-robed Elder immediately put forth so many good conditions. This was the kind of treatment that the Divine Runic Masters Guild would offer to an ordinary Elder, but now all of this was promised to Lin Ming. This was because with Lin Ming's current achievements, becoming an Elder was just a matter of time. He would become a Red-Robed Elder or possibly even the future Guild President.
These conditions were also the limit that the white-robed Elder could offer. Lin Ming was satisfied with these conditions. He thought for a moment and then said, "Junior has a matter that he would like to consult with several seniors about."
"Speak your mind."
Lin Ming thought about his words for a moment and then said, "According to what this junior knows, there are several nearby influences that have long-term cooperation with the Divine Runic Masters Guild… and, there is an influence that this junior is extremely interested in. They are the assassin organization known as Heaven's Net!"
