Martial World's
Ch 116 - Maddening Material

A body inscription is a type of inscription that is drawn onto a body. It was capable of increasing the cultivation speed of martial artists or increasing their battle prowess.
As with the objection inscription symbol, there is a limit to how much can be placed. The number was different depending on the level of the body inscription emblem as well as the physical condition of the martial artist. For body writing symbols, the most one could draw was around four or five.
With his match against Zhang Guanyu approaching in four months, he would have to create a body inscription symbol within a month to display its greatest effect, otherwise the quality of the effect would be reduced, he said, or it might even be a total waste of time!
However, to draw a body writing symbol in a month was as difficult as ascending to heaven!
Even though Lin Ming had memories of soul fragments, in order to successfully create them, it still took a long time and also spent a large amount of rare and precious materials to practice!
Practicing is simple. What was difficult was to find a way to gather all the rare and precious materials that were desperately needed for the body inscription symbol. The extent to which these materials were rare and precious caused Lin Ming to shudder in fear!
In the memory of the elder, about the simplest inscription of the body, there were two. One was the Essence Gathering Symbol that could increase cultivation speed, and the other was the Strife Seal that could increase the combat prowess of martial artists.
However, even if it were these two simplest body inscription symbols, the list of materials that needed to be used would drive anyone crazy!
Just the blood of a fifth level ferocious beast, a single tael of this precious liquid would cost 30,000 gold taels. Lin Ming needed to buy 2 taels, which meant 60,000 taels of gold. And not only that, but it was not something that just anyone could buy.
In the Sky Fortune Kingdom, there was no one who was able to match a fifth level ferocious beast. For a fifth level ferocious beast, perhaps only a Houtian realm pinnacle leader would be able to handle it!
This kind of martial artist usually came from a large sect or an aristocratic martial cultivation family. The blood of a fifth level ferocious beast would only flow out of the big sects and then into the small countries. For these small countries, the price would be astronomical.
Then there's Obsidian Star. This material comes from meteorites falling from the sky. High temperatures in the atmosphere will condense. This iron essence could only be naturally formed by the power of heaven and earth, and moreover, not every meteorite had an Obsidian Star. Only a meteorite that was above several thousand jins could produce 1 or 2 jeans from Star Obsidian. The lowest market price of a single obsidian jin was 150,000 taels of gold!
And it's so hard to find!
Fortunately, Lin Ming only needed two taels.
Lin Ming estimated that if everything was purchased at the lowest market price, and he bought these materials whenever he could find them, then the total of these materials would require at least 300,000 taels. It's just a dream in a dream!
From the materials he needed, many were like the blood of a level five ferocious beast and Obsidian Star. They just don't have a market price. So that means more gold has to be spent. The amount he needed might even reach 500,000, or even 700,000 would not be strange!
And even if he somehow managed to obtain 6 or 700,000 gold taels, he would be very lucky to obtain these materials within a few years. If his luck was trash, then he might not be able to find these materials even if he were to search for 10 years.
On the ingredient list, the most basic would be considered a valuable item within the Sky Fortune City Inscription Association!
And one also needed points from the Inscription Association to purchase something. The last time Lin Ming went there; he had already used most of his points, and had not much left. Without points, this so-called 'base' material would not sell for any price.
This would be the treasure of the Inscription Association.
Looking at the list gave Lin Ming a throbbing headache. It was impossible for him to find all of these; he could only rely on the Crown Prince.
This was one of the benefits of joining a great power. The Crown Prince's subordinates were numerous, and they had extensive channels and networks they could complete; they could assist him in helping him.
Yet even if the Crown Prince made every effort, he would be limited in obtaining the materials.
Thinking of this, Lin Ming shook his head and sadly smiled. “I joined the Crown Prince as one of his subordinates, and still have not done a single thing, yet I really want to make a sudden request to find that much material. And this precious and rare material could not even be found in the city. Even if it is a relatively basic material that I need, the Crown Prince will not be able to buy it easily. ”
Lin Ming knew that the Crown Prince was not rich. Although the Crown Prince's palace looked luxurious and grand; the palace had to employ several hundred people and pay them for their work. There are other costs too. In addition to the banquet, the Crown Prince gives gifts, prizes, and other expenses to win over others and increase his own influence. The amount of annual money he spent was probably around 2 to 300,000 gold taels.
For example, when the Crown Prince had given Lin Ming a gift of over 100 pure true essence stones, the cost for it was several tens of thousands of golden stories. A house located near Sky Fortune City along with 100 acres of lush farmland, maids, maids, and so on would cost at least 100,000 gold taels. Moreover, there was also the Purple Gold Flexible Armor; summed up, it was definitely over 300,000 gold taels!
Due to the large expenditure, the Crown Prince's economic situation might even be lower than those famous inscription masters who had worked for a long time. For example, Muyi, Wang Xuanji, and such people; they had high incomes, and their expenses were low. After raising money for so many years, they were filled with wealth.
The Crown Prince used a large sum of money. Depending only on his salary from the government, this would be very inadequate. The Crown Prince's income comes mostly from his estate, farmland, and also shops.
Compared to the Tenth Prince who constantly campaigned in all directions and plundered many lands, the Crown Prince was extremely poor. Because he was poor, he could not win over others, and thus the Crown Prince's influence was suppressed by the Tenth Prince.
“The cost of all the gifts that the Crown Prince gave me should amount to about 300,000 gold taels. In order for the Crown Prince to suddenly hand over so much to me, he might not have much money at the moment. I had just received so many gifts, yet now I also wanted materials; it was not very precise. However, I have to ask for these ingredients; otherwise, I would never be able to collect them myself. Originally, finding the material for the medicinal inscription symbol had already taken a huge effort on my side, and the material of this body inscription symbol was much more valuable. I have no other recourse but to ask the Crown Prince to help me find them. As for the money, I will find a solution .. but first I must return the house to the Crown Prince … "
"With two body inscription symbols, the Essence Gathering Symbol and the Discord Seal, in addition to the refined martial intent, the 'Sutera-like Flow ability', and the 'Special Meridian Combat Merdeka', were', I will have the confidence to face Zhang Guanyu four months from now . But I'm not sure if I can reach Ling Sen in 6 months. This Ling Sen, the stronger I am, the more I can feel how scary he really is .. ”
“But as long as the Crown Prince can help me find the materials I need for the inscription symbol, there are some materials I listed that might only be found in the sect. Just with the Crown Prince's connections, how many can I find? "
…
Inscription Association, Inscription Hall –
Lin Ming had just stepped into the Inscription Association and was soon discovered by the young reception lady who had received it last time. The young lady's eyes lit up, and she immediately put down the task she was working on. He quickly walked over to Lin Ming, his breathing rather quickly.
Today, there were many people in Sky Fortune City who knew Lin Ming's name. But even though they were able to recognize Lin Ming's name, and they did not know what he looked like. However, this young reception lady was once responsible for the inscription master examination of Lin Ming and had her information. Of course the Inscription Association knew that the brilliant Sky Fortune City star and the number seven genius of the Seven Profound Martial House were young people who had participated in the inscription master examination.
This is an amazing character!
"Mr Lin. “The young lady's receptionist was greeted with a sweet smile. He bent his small waist on the bow to Lin Ming. Her beautiful figure combined with the secretary clothes had a flavorful appeal.
"Oh that's you . I want to speak to the president of the association. "Said Lin Ming. He recognized the young reception lady.
"Very good . Please follow me . The receptionist woman felt her pounding heartbeat start to beat. He was very happy that Lin Ming had remembered him.
"Sorry to trouble you . ”
“It is an honor for me to serve Mr. Lin. The young receptionist woman headed straight to the inscription room. At this moment every day, the president of the association would be in the inscription room. This was the time when he would teach his granddaughter. To Wang Xuanji, no matter how much time he spent on cultivating martial arts or writing techniques, it would be difficult for him to have a breakthrough. Therefore, he had invested most of his efforts in his grandson.
The young receptionist woman opened the door to the inscription hall. This was the second time Lin Ming had been here. The first time he took the exam was here.
At this moment, Wang Xuanji was sitting on the green jade platform. He pointed the fingers of a young girl at his side. This young girl was wearing the white robe of an inscription master. Its appearance was smooth, like a fine white dust. He was Wang Xuanji's grandson, Wang Yuhan.
After Wang Xuanji noticed some people had arrived, he turned his head to look and was shocked.
"Mr Lin?"
"President Wang. '' Lin Ming smiled and bowed respectfully.
"Oh! Mister Lin was a rare visitor. It's been a while since you last came. I don't think that Mr. Lin will not only be talented in inscription techniques, but also talented in martial arts! Only 15 years old and able to defeat the 32nd ranked disciple of the Seven Profound Martial House; your future is truly limitless! ”
“President Wang praises me too much. '' Lin Ming was not surprised that the Inscription Association already knew the situation.
Wang Yuhan also stopped his writing technique that he was working on. He had a complicated look as he stared at Lin Ming. He was already extremely talented, with a fourth grade martial talent and a fifth grade soul talent. With this talent, his qualifications had already surpassed Bai Jingyun and Murong Zi. Among the aristocrats, the young juniors who wanted to marry Wang Yuhan were none other than the ardent fans of Bai Jingyun and Murong Zi.
But compared to this young man in her eyes, she simply felt too embarrassed to step out in public. The difference between him and Lin Ming's writing technique had already been separated for miles; it was simply comparing Heaven to Earth. He did not even want to think of a difference in their battle prowess. Wang Yuhan had devoted most of his energy to practicing inscription techniques, but in the aspect of martial arts, he also only paid attention to cultivation. This was because the writing technique required a deep true essence, and therefore one had to have quite a high cultivation. As for the fighting skill, Wang Yuhan knew nothing about it from the start. Let alone the monstrous geniuses of the Seven Profound Martial Houses, he would even lose to someone at the same cultivation level as him.
How does this guy practice? He had been practicing inscription techniques since he was 8 years old, and in his life he had always prioritized his cultivation and specialized in inscription techniques. Even if it was Qin Xingxuan's monstrous talent, he could compare with her in terms of inscription techniques. And recently he had progressed so quickly; perhaps he might even surpass Qin Xingxuan.
But in contrast to this Lin Ming, Wang Yuhan was completely at a loss for words. Even if he started practicing the inscription technique from his mother's womb, why would his skill level become so strange? He was still working hard to train the basics of finger movements, but he could already use the 'Lightened Buddha Plucking the Lotus'.
"Sir Lin came today, is there anything you need to discuss?"
As Wang Xuanji asked this, Lin Ming felt somewhat embarrassed. Whether good or bad, he was a registered inscription master of the Inscription Association. However, after registering and obtaining some materials, he had yet to return. And now that he had finally returned, it was also for the materials used for the inscription symbols.
