Martial World's
Ch 1558 - Old Feelings Lost
. . .
…
. …
Lin Ming coughed coughingly, saying, "Junior is just trying, but whether my dream will work or not, it will depend on whether I have talent in this aspect or not. ”
“Haha, you are quite optimistic. You seem to have just started learning the heavenly secret art, or you haven't started yet? ”
The spiritas old man smiled, stroking his beard.
"Mm ..." Lin Ming nodded grimly. This old spiritas master who had immersed himself in the heavenly secret arts for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years could estimate whether one had just started to learn the heavenly secret arts. This was a thought completely based on his intuition.
Moreover, when Lin Ming bought the broken jade, he had not even known about any materials that the old spiritas man had sold. If he said he was a divine runic disciple or something, it would be too fake.
“Excellent perseverance! What a perseverance! ”The spirit old man 'praises' again. Of course, this so-called praise only implied that Lin Ming bit off more than he could chew, an over-imagined daydreamer.
However, with the old man's smiling face that looked like a Buddha, outsiders would not be able to clearly say what it meant.
“Talking about the divine runic arts, the materials you want to buy are quite luxurious. “The old spiritas man picked up the list of materials and sighed as he looked at it. "Oh, how rich! For you to waste so much money when you first started learning the heavenly secret art, this was enough for two generations! You must have an Empyrean relative in your family … "
"Eh ..." Lin Ming confused the words. He didn't answer.
"I said ... do you want me to accept you as an apprentice?" Said the old spiritas man, his eyes shining.
Lin Ming was stunned. Is there really anything extraordinary in this world?
Although he did not need anyone to teach him, a heavenly secret master was extremely careful in accepting any disciple to begin with. If a sixth grade heavenly secret master said they accepted an apprentice, there would be many people stepping over to each other to grab the position. Even becoming a mere secret disciple would be a great honor.
Unfortunately, the higher ranked heavenly secret masters were, the higher their standards in accepting apprenticeships were. Normally, a divine runic master would receive at most four or five disciples and wanted to become one of these disciples was easier said than done!
Now, this old spiritas man had actually said that he would regard Lin Ming as a disciple; this left Lin Ming dumbfounded. "Can this old geezer think that I have talent in the heavenly secret arts, so he developed the thought of accepting me as his disciple?"
Lin Ming felt that if he were to learn the heavenly secret art, even if he did not possess the heaven-defying ability of the Magic Cube, his heavenly soul and perception would already be extremely praiseworthy. But, to spiritas, having a powerful heavenly soul and soul force was the most basic standard; this could not be considered as Lin Ming's advantage.
As Lin Ming was wondering what was going on, the spirit old man's next words almost made Lin Ming choke on himself. “As my student, you have to give me the same amount of money every month. Of course, paying me the equivalent material is even better! ”
As the old man spoke, he extended a hand and stretched out all five fingers.
“…. ”
Lin Ming wanted to curse out loud So this old man wanted to make him an apprentice so that he could charge a tuition fee.
"This wily old fox, I know he won't be kind. “Say Xiao Moxian with true essence sound transmission. Lin Ming also smiled bitterly in response, "It seems that I am contemplating the situation. I was too naive. ”
“Huh, this old man is very cheap. He might not even be willing to teach his own students, so how could he possibly teach a stranger. No matter how I looked at it, the apprentice he received was unlucky. ”
Xiao Moxian criticized. All the heavenly secret masters had high opinions about themselves and valued themselves, but even these were divided into several degrees. He had a premonition that this old man valued his knowledge to the death.
Seeing the old spirit man's hand still hovering in front of his face, Lin Ming was left helpless. He slowly asked, “You shouldn't be thinking about 500 million per month, right? You are too greedy! ”
“Smart child. If you are truly a disciple of a large family then you should be a little more courageous. These ingredients you bought cost 500 million, but if I teach you, the effect will be much better. ”
The old spiritas man spoke in a deep and mysterious tone. He handed the booklet to Lin Ming and said, “This is something I wrote myself, 'Heavenly Secret of Fine Arts'. This, look, is free! ”
Lin Ming's lips twitched but he picked up the booklet without hope. Could something free really be useful?
However, seeing how thick this 'Heavenly Fine Arts Secret' was, there was no way that everything inside was useless right? There may be a little useless content in it.
Seeing Lin Ming receive the 'Heavenly Secret Fine Art', the old spiritas man laughed. “I think you'll change your mind in a few months. At that time, go back and look for me, haha! I've got to say, you're a human being and your talent doesn't seem too overwhelming to begin with, if it's not an open-minded and generous person like me, an ordinary heavenly secret master will not be willing to accept you . Fortunately, you met me … "
The old spiritas man said with a haughty tone of superiority. Xiao Moxian couldn't bear to listen to this anymore, “Hei, what are you saying! You don't know what our talents are! ”
“Hehe, I can guess more or less. You don't know if I know or not. ”
The old man traced his beard, “Remember to look for me if you change your mind. My surname is Xue. Look for Grandmaster Xue and you will find me! "
"In any case ... You're not short on money, are you?" Lin Ming suddenly asked as he recalled this. He remembered that this old man only wanted to barter.
The spirit old man's eyebrows shot up as he spoke. He rubbed his fingers in front of Lin Ming and then raised his finger again for a number of origin energy runes.
It's really more annoying the more people see. Just as Xiao Moxian was unable to resist the urge to slap him, she was pulled out of the hall by Lin Ming. They had already bought the materials they needed and no longer needed to stay.
500 million origin energy runes – the amount of materials that will buy can pile up into a mountain.
In these past few days, Lin Ming had actually spent money like throwing water. As more and more energy runes were spent without getting anything in return, Lin Ming's wealth continued to shrink every day.
The heavenly masters and alchemists were jobs where one spent money like they burned them. The lowest level materials were not cheap for the start, and as one rose in rank, those materials would only become increasingly expensive. Even though the secret masters and heavenly alchemists were capable of making a lot of money, they would always feel as if they lacked wealth. This kind of strange reverse phenomenon was mainly reflected in the growth of the heavenly secret masters.
But, to the heavenly secret masters who had reached their peak, they were relatively richer. This is because they are past the time of spending money to practice, and unless there is a big project coming in, they are usually not short of money.
“We have to find a way to get resources. When I started paving the way towards the Nine Stars Dao Palace, the cost would only increase, but I was worried that I would become a poor person by then. ”
As Lin Ming was thinking this, he and Xiao Moxian arrived at the heavenly secret master trading firm.
"Two guests, what do you want?"
A young girl greeted Lin Ming and Xiao Moxian.
“I want to rent a room for alchemy and divine runic arts for one year. ”
Normally, an alchemist or a divine runic master would have their own special alchemy room or a divine runic arts room. This place would have an array formation that would increase the chances of succeeding in refining pills or drawing divine runic symbols.
Primordius Heavenly Palace did not have a room like this and if Lin Ming were to build one, they would require too much time and effort. For current practice, renting a room is the most suitable option.
“May I ask what the level of the room the Master wants? We have the best symbol space of heaven, the slightly better symbol space of earth and the profound symbol space, or the ordinary flowing water space. ”
“Over ordinary room is fine. "Said Lin Ming casually. He was not short of money to rent out a better room, but as someone just starting out, he did not want to rely too heavily on external factors. The worse his surroundings were, the more he could practice his techniques.
"Very good . Guests, please come with me. ”
The young girl led Lin Ming to an ordinary stone room.
This stone room is a square space about 30-40 feet wide and long. There were some simple array formations inside that were used to increase the intensity of the flames and increase the perception of a martial artist. In the center was also a simple alchemy furnace as well as a heavenly blue stone table.
Here, Lin Ming planned to spend an entire year. Although it was possible to use the charm of time to absorb the memories of the heavenly secret masters, he was unable to practice the heavenly secret art or alchemy within a person. This was because the heavenly secret arts and alchemy required one to communicate with the Laws of the outside world and one time the enchantment twisted the Laws within.
Lin Ming did not immediately start practicing alchemy or heavenly secret arts. Instead, he took out the 'Heavenly Secret Fine Arts' that Xue's parents had given him. After all, this thick booklet should have something interesting in it. Moreover, old man Xue himself was a respectable person with his own reputation who needed to worry about. No matter how stingy he is, he should not write a worthless book with no value at all to ruin his reputation?
Thinking this, Lin Ming opened the 'Heavenly Secret Fine Arts' and began to recite a glance. However, he quickly discovered that he was too naive again. He seriously overestimated the moral nature of this old man, Xue.
The beginning of this 'Heavenly Secret of Fine Arts' did contain some practical knowledge and skills. But, on the most critical part, it was completely empty!
Then, this old man Xue would start writing again about completely different skills and knowledge. But, when one approached the crucial point, it would become empty once again.
This is repeated over and over without any real information being offered. The whole booklet was just to raise someone's meal. After Lin Ming closed the booklet, he couldn't help but curse, "Damn, I've never seen such trash, this is ridiculous!"
"This old man is too greedy! Wanting to gain a little advantage from it was like taking feathers from a flying swan, it was harder than ascending to heaven! "Xiao Moxian could be said to have opened her eyes.
“He was determined that I could not learn the heavenly secret art so he wanted me to give him money. But, it seemed like he was really short of money at the moment. I don't know what he's doing, or maybe he's always looking for an advantage to get started. ”
Lin Ming shook his head, no longer thinking about it. He took out a heavenly secret pen from the blue stone heavenly secret table and then poured his origin energy into it. At that moment, he felt something that he had not felt for a long time.
This kind of feeling was very familiar to Lin Ming; it even slightly touched him.
After so many years he finally picked up the inscription art he had long left behind.
The days when Lin Ming was an inscription master were one of the most important parts of his martial arts path. The inscription technique had been with him during these most difficult years when he first started learning martial arts.
He was even happy that because of the Nine Star Dao Palace, he could pick up the writing technique he had put down. This kind of feeling was similar to recalling his youth. During those years, Lin Ming completed the most important transformation of his life. It was a time when he could never forget …
