Martial World's
Ch 121 - Symbol of Lost Blood
…
…
…
Relying on his pure soul power and the profound reserves of true essence, Lin Ming was able to continue enduring for an entire afternoon. During this period, he reached the limit of his abilities several times. But, this is also an exercise method. Without being pushed to the limit, it would be difficult to advance.
When his true essence approached complete consumption, Lin Ming never regretted himself to take out a true essence stone and then enter into a state of refined martial intent. Under a state of refined martial intent, the true essence throughout Lin Ming's body would spontaneously move at a speed several times faster than usual, with a nearly perfect circulation path. Under these cultivation conditions, his progress was extremely fast.
Slowly, the sun began to fall under the western horizon. The light that once peered into the room began to dim. Wang Yuhan turned on the lights. Seeing that Lin Ming was still sitting in meditation and regulating his breathing, he hesitated a few times as he debated whether to disturb him or not. After a while, Wang Yuhan could not bear it anymore, and she finally said, "Master Lin, this …"
"Oh? Yes, of course, you eat first. Bring me back something good. I am almost done adjusting my condition, and then I will finish drawing this inscription symbol first. ”
Drawing another one?
Wang Yuhan confused the words; this would be the seventh.
To draw seven inscription symbols in the afternoon, and not only that, but each symbol became very complex, with dozens of symbols and lines needing to be put together … even a top-tier inscription master would not be able to survive through a task .
Wang Yuhan no longer compared himself to Lin Ming, but placed Lin Ming as a level of character similar to his own grandfather.
Shaking his head, Wang Yuhan left for dinner. After dinner, he returned, and sure enough, Lin Ming had already started drawing the seventh inscription symbol, and was almost half done.
Wang Yuhan moved to the side and placed the plate of food he had brought. He silently watched Lin Ming's every move, earnestly tying them to memory, and sometimes he would even subconsciously extend his hand, and follow Lin Ming's movements. Although he knew that even if he copied these movements, it did not manage to discern the profound mysteries within them.
As time slowly passed, Wang Yuhan saw a beautiful and brilliant line of writing, and then turned to Lin Ming. He watched as his fingertips danced in the air, and the glittering light followed the unparalleled control of true essence. He also saw the fine grains of sweat covering his face, and his unparalleled expression.
Slowly, Wang Yuhan entered a state as if she was lost in a trance. His sight involuntarily moved from Lin Ming's face to his fingers and back again. At that moment, he felt like he had been infected by the youngster's special focus.
Wang Yuhan finally snapped out of his daze as Lin Ming let out a light fu! sound . Several dozens of inscription symbols and lines began to condense into one, and with that glint of light, Wang Yuhan managed to regain her composure. She was a bit confused, and her beautiful face was flushed red.
"Seventh!" Lin Ming let out a long breath and completely fell back into his chair. Now, he did not even have the strength to move a finger.
"… Mr. Lin, the food is getting colder. ”
"Oh. 'Lin Ming propped himself up and received a plate of food. He took a big bite while eating. Wang Yuhan sat a bit narrowly at the side, silently staring at the hourglass in the room, watching the sand fall, grain by grain.
“In the foundation line, when drawing the pattern of 'stones', it is better to add a crease-shaped structure. '' Lin Ming said thoughtlessly after finishing half of his meal.
Wang Yuhan was a little stunned, and then felt a great happiness followed by an overwhelming excitement. Lin Ming was teaching his writing technique! This type of inscription technique came from outside the limits of the Sky Fortune Kingdom, and furthermore, its level of cleverness and subtlety far surpassed anything the Sky Fortune Kingdom inscription school could achieve.
Now Lin Ming had recovered some of his true essence. He was ready to draw a 'stone' line pattern in the air, slowing down the tempo as much as he could so that Wang Yuhan had time to clearly see the change in soul power. In particular, when drawing that folded pattern, it lowers the speed to a minimum. Lin Ming knew what the driving reason was behind Wang Yuhan's request to serve as her assistant. He had been accompanying her all afternoon, helping out a lot, and also depleting a lot of her true essence and soul power. However, the things he could learn were extremely limited.
She was a girl who was also the beloved grandson of the president of the Inscription Association. The girl who was so arrogant had actually lost her vigilance to act as her assistant for this afternoon. If Lin Ming did not return the favor, then he would feel bad about himself.
Therefore in the free time he had while eating, Lin Ming constantly taught Wang Yuhan some baseline. Although just learning these basic baselines was far from being able to use them in any practical application, Lin Ming believed that with Wang Yuhan's talent towards inscriptions, the, along with his unrelenting efforts to fight towards the higher heights of the inscription technique, that he would inevitably be able to get a lot of inspiration from this in the future.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin. "Wang Yuhan said with a sincere expression of gratitude.
"I want to thank you instead. ”
"Is .... will Mr. Lin be back tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow? Mm, I have to come back one afternoon. In the morning I had to train in the Great Seven Martial House. "Due to the core disciple test, the Seven Profound Martial House had promised that Lin Ming would be able to use the seven major killing arrays for a full ten days. The time in the seven main killing arrays is precious. It would be a waste if he did not use it because he practiced inscription techniques instead.
"Can I also be your assistant for tomorrow?" Wang Yuhan asked with anticipation.
Lin Ming smiled brightly and said, “Of course you can. ”
…
That night, Lin Ming returned to the Seven Profound Martial Houses and began to digest what he had learned by practicing today.
By the afternoon, Lin Ming had spent three and a half hours compiling a total of seven inscription symbols. The materials for this inscription were all valuable. Lin Ming had many mistakes in drawing inscription symbols, which caused some materials to be wasted. However, he had yet to find a situation where the inscription symbol would spiral out of control and then collapse with an explosion.
As long as everything did not collapse in a fiery explosion, some mistakes could be tolerated.
Of the remaining materials, 60% went to the guest inscription master, and 40% went to the Inscription Association.
Lin Ming took out some materials he could use for himself and exchanged the rest with the Inscription Association for points.
“If by the way, I get points, maybe I will have enough points after ten more days to buy some materials I need from the inscription Association. As for the rarer materials, I had to wait until my inscription techniques improved further, and only then did I have a chance to obtain them. The materials for the two body inscription symbols were too difficult to gather. ”
“Through the process of earning points, I can also cultivate. I have been making writing symbols continuously and using different types of materials. Not only did my inscription technique develop rapidly, but even my soul power slowly grew. 'The 'True Primal Chaos Formula' also improved; I could feel that I was approaching the Small Success stage of the second layer. I don't actually think that I can practice so many things in one way. ”
“My true essence stone consumption is very fast. In just one day I have used three. It's just spending money. ”
In the Sky Fortune Kingdom, true essence stones, according to their purity level, ranged from 500 taels of gold to 1000 taels of gold. The true essence stones given by the Seven Profound Martial House to his disciples were probably the lowest, with 500 taels of gold.
But the more than 100 true essence stones that the Crown Prince had given Lin Ming actually belonged to top-class, top-grade pure essence stones, each of which had a value of 1,000 gold taels.
True essence stones were extremely rare in the Sky Fortune Kingdom; it was extremely difficult to find a large number of them.
In turn, it was difficult to exchange true essence stones for gold. Even a wealthy aristocratic family would find it difficult to pay such a high price; four or five true essence stones together were the same as treasures.
Lin Ming had over 200 true essence stones in hand and he used them every day like he was eating candy. Not many people in the entire Sky Fortune City were capable of doing as he did.
“I will probably spend the true essence stones I have in two months. I have to ask the Crown Prince to help me buy it, at worst I will just replace the money. '' After becoming a guest inscription master, Lin Ming found a way to cultivate that could also make money.
He estimated that in one month he would be able to make over 200,000 taels of gold without any problems. Of course, this was with the premise that there were enough wealthy martial artists seeking his services.
A normal guest inscription master can perform 1 or 2 tasks every day. This was because even if they could continue to do more, they would not be in optimal conditions to do so, and it would be difficult to draw the perfect writing symbol and thus damage their reputation.
These inscription masters usually worked 20 days each month. It was a good result to make 20 or 30 thousand taels of gold in the end, assuming they did not fail.
But Lin Ming, was able to make inscription symbols 7 or 8 times a day. In one month he could work for 30 days. He's just a freak of nature.
After he bathed himself, Lin Ming stayed in the bathtub and entered into a state of refined martial intent. He allowed the true essence in his body to revolve on its own while following a perfect circulation path. Like this, Lin Ming sat for two hours.
As the circulation of true essence continued at high speed, the water in the bathtub began to heat up and let out a white mist. Immediately, the entire bathroom was filled with dense clouds of water vapor. Every time Lin Ming let out a breath, his breath stirred a vortex in the air.
At midnight, Lin Ming woke up from a state of ethereal martial intent, the countless small units in his body began to move, and he began to move, and true essence shook overflowing from his body like a rushing wave. The fog in the room suddenly disappeared.

At midnight, Lin Ming woke up from a state of ethereal martial intent, the countless small units in his body began to move, and he began to move, and true essence shook overflowing from his body like a rushing wave. The fog in the room suddenly disappeared.
But because the fog had been in the room for such a long time, the entire room was drenched, and even Lin Ming's clothes were drenched.
As he stood up from the bathroom, Lin Ming accidentally glanced at the Purple Gold Flexible Armor that the Crown Prince had given him. With a glance, Lin Ming suddenly froze. This is…
Lin Ming grabbed the Purple Gold Flexible Armor. He looked at it, was shocked, and felt a great shock in his heart. How did the blood symbol of the peaking Houtian master that he had drawn with his own blood essence disappear !?
Today, he paid a visit to the Inscription Association. For safety matters, Lin Ming had worn the Purple Gold Flexible Armor. It was fine back then, but after taking a bath, he discovered that the blood symbol had disappeared!
It is more accurate to say that most of the blood symbols have disappeared. There was still a small corner of the blood symbol left, but even that was already completely blurred.
This vague feeling, was similar to ink soaked by water.
Could it be that the mist from the bathtub had infiltrated into the blood symbol and damaged it? If so, then that top Houtian leader was too terrifying and unbelievable.
Or, has the Crown Prince been deceived? Is this flexible armor itself fake?
No, that can't be true. When the Crown Prince had given him this armor, he personally proved it with his own soul force, and actually discovered that it contained the vital blood essence of a formidable master. Moreover, it was written with an extremely exquisite technique in flexible armor, piercing through it, and was already a part of the treasure.
The blood symbol was like an inscription symbol placed on top of a treasure. Only by using some kind of special method, for example having an alchemist use fire to burn it, or using the 'Flow like Silk' technique like Lin Ming did, could one remove it. Otherwise, it would basically be impossible to separate them without completely destroying the treasure.
So what just happened?
