When Lin Ming returned to Divine Rune City, he discovered that the atmosphere was different from before. There were over ten times the guards stationed at the city gates.
Originally, there were several guards at the gates of Divine Rune City, and their cultivation was at the realm of the heavenly Gods.
But now, there was an army of small soldiers, and the leader of this group was a Holy God.
Everyone who entered the city was subjected to intense interrogation. The Sacred Lord Captain had always held a crystal ball in his hand with a strange line of Laws glittering within it.
These lines of Laws were clearly due to the heavenly secret arts. Lin Ming could see from the view that this crystal ball was used to determine whether or not a martial artist trying to enter the city had disguised their cultivation.
"Squeaky…"
Lin Ming rubbed his chin. Why was Divine Rune City suddenly on alert?
"Are there any influences who want to attack the Divine Rune City?" Xiao Moxian asked.
Lin Ming shook his head. “Should not. Divine Rune City was a neutral place to start and it was a great influence with a large number of heavenly secret masters. There should be no one who would make a move against Divine Rune City, especially since so many other organizations depended on them. ”
Lin Ming suppressed the suspicion in his mind. He walked to the city gate with Xiao Moxian where the two of them were immediately stopped.
"Token the city entrance!" A martial artist coldly said as he blocked Lin Ming's path. Lin Ming looked at the armor these guards wore. Some of them wore the standard service armor of Divine Rune City and others did not.
It was as if they were formed from two different groups.
Lin Ming said, "I am the heavenly secret master of the Runic God Masters Guild. My badge. ”
Lin Ming took out a third grade secret heavenly master badge. After the guards examined him, he returned it to Lin Ming and let him and Xiao Moxian pass by.
After entering Divine Rune City, it became clear that the insides had clearly not changed much. The streets are busy and crowded as usual.
Lin Ming walked all the way to the Divine Runic Masters Guild, exuded the celestial secret master badge and entered.
When he passed through the trading area he saw many secret masters and heavenly alchemists trading within it. He also immediately saw Old Xue.
At this moment Old Xue comfortably lay back on the rocking chair. A pile of random objects was placed in front of him and he seemed to be asleep.
After 25 years, Old Xue had not changed at all.
As Lin Ming and Xiao Moxian walked past him, Old Xue's eyes suddenly opened. "Hey son, so it's you!"
Old Xue's eyes shone as he looked at Lin Ming as if he had seen a treasure. He stared at Lin Ming for a long time, staring him up and down until even Lin Ming began to feel uneasy.
Lin Ming coughed, “Older Xue, it has been a long time. ”
Xiao Moxian also sweetly called out, “ Elder Xue, glad to see you. ”
Old Xue smiled with a smile when he heard Xiao Moxian welcome him. He had a very good impression of this favored young girl. But when he returned to Lin Ming, his face darkened.
“It's been more than 20 years. Do you even remember that you are the heavenly secret master of the Divine Runic Masters Guild? Brat, I think you must have forgotten everything when you went on an adventure outside! Even so, it seems that you managed to make a breakthrough in your cultivation. I Remember that when you left, you were only in the early heavenly realms. ”
Lin Ming rolled his eyes. It seemed that this Old Xue really spoke without caring about what he said.
“This is a lucky breakthrough. I must say Old Xue, now that I have returned to Divine Rune City, I see a large number of guards standing outside. What the hell is going on? ”
“Heh, it's war. "Old Xue grinned, looking as if he didn't really care. It seemed like he was already used to this kind of situation.
“Although I said it's a war, it actually has nothing to do with us. This was the influence of the Empyrean spiritas of the inner Asura Road, the Extreme Star Holy Land, fighting with the influence of the other holy Empyrean, the Heaven Land of Heaven Dispute. As for the reason they decided to suddenly go to war, it was probably because they were competing for something. Our Divine Runic Masters Guild is one of the groups supporting the Extreme Star Holy Lands. Since they were at war, they bought a large number of pills and heavenly secret symbols that were constantly transported to the battlefield. As for the guards at the entrance of the city, they were sent here by the Extreme Star Holy Lands. They were afraid that there would be holy spies infiltrating our city to stir up chaos. During this period of war, all saint martial artists, regardless of whether they were connected or not to the Heaven Strife Holy Lands, were forbidden from entering the city. ”
In these past 100 million years, the Sacred Runic Master Guild would occasionally cooperate with some great influences and give them a large number of pills and heavenly secret symbols. Of course, this great influence would pay them in rich rewards, including origin energy runes, rare and precious materials, inheritance jade slips, and so on.
This was a significant source of wealth for the Sacred Runic Master Guild. Compared to the income of the shops in Divine Rune City, the income from participating in this war was often much more valuable.
“So it's like that. "Said Lin Ming seriously. When human martial artists learned the heavenly secret art, they were only inferior to spiritas. As for the saints, they could be called simple-minded with extremely gallant bodies; their soul strength was extremely weak and they were no match for additional skills such as heavenly secret arts or alchemy.
The crystal balls placed on the city gates were to prevent any saint martial artists from sneaking in.
Lin Ming was secretly shocked. In these 100 million years, it was unknown how many times the Divine Runic Master Guild had cooperated with other influences like this. The wealth they had accumulated after such a long time could be imagined.
“I have to say it son, why did you come back so suddenly? Is there something going on? "Old Xue looked at Lin Ming suspiciously. He felt this suspicious boy might need something.
After being seen by Old Xue, Lin Ming awkwardly rubbed his chin. She said, “There really is something I need. The reason I returned to Divine Rune City was because I needed to purchase some ingredients to make pills. ”
Lin Ming instantly declared a goal.
"Hoh! So you have even practiced alchemy! '' Old Xue looked at Lin Ming in surprise. With his current understanding of Lin Ming, if Lin Ming dared to say he wanted to refine pills then his skills in alchemy were likely very high.
"You brat, you know to come back when you want to take advantage of us, but are you aware you don't have any contribution points !?"
In the Heavenly Appearance Masters Guild, the contribution given by a secret master Rise to the guild would be converted into points. Since Lin Ming had been gone for 25 years, he naturally had no contribution points.
Lin Ming awkwardly coughed. He smiled and said, “There are some things I have to attend to so I am a bit delayed. I have to stay in the Sacred Rise Master Guild for a period of time, and there are indeed some rare and precious materials that I need to purchase, I just don't know where they are sold. ”
As Lin Ming spoke, Old Xue rolled his eyes and sent Lin Ming a look of disdain. He said, “What are you saddening with? My Divine Runic Masters Guild has the best and most complete arsenal of materials in the entire world! There are no ingredients you can't buy, I'm just worried you can't afford them. ”
Old Xue said with great confidence, a lot of self-esteem shone on his face.
“Then I want to ask you to see this list and see if I can get this material here. ”
Lin Ming smiled and took out a list from his spatial ring. This list had all the ingredients needed to refine the Ravenous Wolf Heaven Pill. There are a total of 32 different types of materials.
Old Xue picked up the list by showing great elegance. Then, he looked at the list.
He was immediately dumbfounded.
The first few ingredients on the list are valuable, but as long as people have enough money, they can be purchased. However, the latter material was terrifying!
There were some materials that even Old Xue had never seen before; he had only heard of them!
"Dragon saliva grass, heaven devouring snake gallbladder, jade dragon horn, primal jade essence .." Old Xue was left stunned. Even the Guild of Sacred Lord Masters did not possess all of these materials!
Although the Divine Runic Masters Guild storehouse was rich and abundant, as there were materials coming in, there were materials coming out. If these ingredients could not be converted into pills and heavenly secret symbols then they were useless. Thus, after many rare and precious materials entered the warehouse, they would be immediately exchanged for someone else.
As for the extremely rare and precious materials that many were in demand and could not normally buy, they did not stay in the warehouse for too long.
These materials that Lin Ming had listed, if placed within the Divine Runic Masters Guild warehouse, would require the highest level of authority to use. That, the authority of a seventh grade divine runic master!
Moreover, the price must have been very high, to the point that people would strain their necks!
"Are you playing around with me !?" Old Xue slapped the list down on the table, his beard and eyebrows raging. He felt that Lin Ming was teasing him; how could a young junior use these materials !?
In his opinion, even if Lin Ming obtained these ingredients, it would be impossible for him to use them in alchemy. It would be useless.
“Why should we mess you up? If we buy it we will use it. "Xiao Moxian supported Lin Ming.
Old Xue looked at Xiao Moxian, half believing, half in disbelief. He returned to Lin Ming. "Are these materials things that your master would like to use?"
Old Xue immediately thought. Lin Ming pushed this train of thought along He laughed, saying, “That's right. Do you think the Sacred Runic Master Guild has these ingredients? "
Old Xue gave Lin Ming an eye view and casually said, "The more common rare and valuable materials are indeed here, indeed, but I fear that the Divine Runic Masters Guild only has two or three of the most valuable ingredients on this list. Moreover, the price is very expensive. Not only do you need a large number of origin energy runes, but more importantly you need a certain level of authority as well as contribution points. I estimate that only one of those ingredients would require 700-800 million points. If you stay in the Divine Runic Masters Guild in the future, you will receive a monthly salary of contribution points. As a third level heavenly secret master, I think every 18 million years or so you will not be able to afford a bit of dragon saliva grass leaves. ”
Old Xue said mockingly. As a third grade heavenly secret master, Lin Ming's annual salary would be around 20 points. In 10 million years he would receive 200 million points, just enough to buy a single ingredient.
Of course, if Lin Ming rose to a higher level than the heavenly secret masters in the future then his salary would also increase. Even so, it won't be too much.
Lin Ming wryly smiled, “Old Xue, I'm glad you're happy to tease me. ”
Old Xue spread his hands with good intentions. “I'm just telling the truth. Even I can't afford the things you want. But ... if your master is willing to join the Runic God Masters Guild then he might be able to obtain what is needed in a short period of time. ”
Seeing Old Xue make a circle to ask about his master, Lin Ming said, "My master will not come to the Sacred Runic Master Guild. Only I can buy these ingredients … "
"Ha! Then do what you want. "Old Xue lazily said, his expression saying he didn't care about Lin Ming's business. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
