Witch, please have some self-respect!

The Bursting Rune is very difficult to create.

Neither the Sacred Treasure Pavilion nor the Sacred Sect's contribution manual sells these runestones.

This shows how rare they are.

There are too many types of first-tier runes; the Runestone Hall alone has thousands of unique ones.

Not to mention those that weren't included.

The effect varies depending on the environment.

No talisman master can learn them all. Most first-tier talisman masters are already doing well if they master twenty or thirty talismans in their lifetime.

The cultivation techniques a cultivator possesses are their trump card, while runes are the unique methods and trump cards of a rune master.

Some talisman masters can make a fortune by mastering just one type of talisman as their signature skill.

There is a first-tier talisman master in the Heavenly Craftsmanship Palace named Wen, who is most skilled in a type of 'Pure Essence Talisman Stone'.

This is a purification-type rune. There are hundreds of such runes in the first-tier runes. The Wen Rune Master has explored the characteristics of the "Purifying Rune" to the fullest extent.

Her "Purifying Runestone" can not only purify the negative effects of turbid air, miasma, poison, and eroded foreign blood and qi that cultivators are tainted with.

It also has a faint healing function by gathering the essence of heaven and earth.

It is highly applicable in the wild and its effect far surpasses that of similar runes.

Moreover, no one else could create it; it was a unique rune that she herself accidentally improved and optimized.

This one kind of Pure Essence Runestone is so rare that even twenty Source Stones wouldn't be enough to buy it.

There's still a queue.

Keep in mind that the Ice Mist Rune only costs eight Origin Stones.

The price of the Qingyun Runestone increased by a full 2.5 times.

After realizing the excellence of this explosive rune stone, Shen Yun made up his mind to master it and make it his own unique technique.

It may well be comparable to the "Qingyun Talisman Stone".

However, just as Li Yunliang said, this rune was indeed accidentally disassembled by the master from a second- or even third-tier rune.

It is indeed difficult to understand.

However, once Shen Yun masters a certain rune, thanks to the existence of the ancient scroll, he will quickly reach the proficiency level of a first-tier rune master for that rune.

His experience as a first-tier rune master seemed applicable to all runes in the world.

As long as he masters it first.

He could easily carve out talismans like the Golden Knife Talisman without even practicing them a few times.

For other talisman masters, this is something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.

However, these past few days, Shen Yun has had a rare failure in seal carving, stumbling on this exploding talisman stone.

This rune is exceptionally difficult to create.

For attribute runes, Shen Yun basically requires 20 blessings to succeed, and even high-quality ones only require 30.

Shen Yun used thirty Blessing Points to try and break that exploding rune stone, but it still failed.

Forget about high-quality products, they failed to even achieve anything decent.

No wonder Li Yunliang advised him so much that day.

Obtaining rare or uncommon items is indeed difficult, much more so than obtaining high-quality attribute runes.

Of the ten rune jade crystals obtained from the Rune Stone Hall, Shen Yun only mastered the Shadow Rune, Water Repellent Rune, and Weight-Bearing Rune.

The other runes are all difficult.

However, Shen Yun has a unique talent.

"Let me see the limits of talent!"

[Humanity Talisman Master (Tier 1 1995/100000)] +40

With the inkstone in hand, holding an ice-attribute source stone, and jade crystal in front of him to study, Shen Yun began to carve the seal.

The complexity of the Explosion Rune is at least two to three times that of the Ice Mist Rune.

After several rounds of review by the Runestone Hall, it was indeed confirmed to be a first-tier rune, which theoretically could be mastered by a first-tier rune master.

Furthermore, a first-tier rune master successfully replicated it.

Regardless of how many times it took to successfully replicate it, it proves that this rune is indeed a first-tier rune.

After an hour and a half, the source stone in Shen Yun's hand began to glow faintly.

Shen Yun took a deep breath, and from his limited perception, he knew: "Mobilize 65% of my energy."

The energy inside the Explosive Runestone is also different from other runesstones. The energy inside this runestone is extremely violent, like a powder keg that can be ignited at any moment.

Sensing the violent energy that could explode at any moment, Shen Yun gently placed it on the table.

"How about we try Vaillant?"

Shen Yun considered the price of one source stone per test site rental in the Holy City and temporarily abandoned the idea.

The cost is one source stone for the site, two source stones for the cost, and enough merit points to carve two fine rune stones.

Just for one test.

That's a huge loss.

When Huang Changxing comes again, sell him this talisman, let him try out its power, and give him some feedback.

I had previously agreed with Huang Changxing to continue engraving exquisite ice mist talismans, which we would then sell together.

In recent days, Shen Yun has accumulated more than twenty fine rune stones in addition to the fine rune stones in his cane.

Among them are thirteen ordinary high-quality runes and seven high-quality attribute runes.

If you convert all of them into contribution points, that's 135 contribution points.

"The sect can lend 1,000 contribution points, and Bao Yifeng said that the auxiliary cultivation pavilion can also lend 1,000. So, it's not far from exchanging for Heavenly Merit."

Shen Yun pondered.

It is quite normal for contributions to be borrowed within the Holy Sect.

This is how sects cultivate their disciples; it's not some kind of monster or monstrous threat.

The first year is interest-free, and thereafter the interest rate is 0.5% per month.

If an outer disciple borrows 1,000 points, the 5 contribution points the sect distributes each month will just cover the interest.

This provides resources and also serves as a form of supervision, achieving two goals at once.

However, as one's cultivation level increases, the amount of money given by the sect will also increase.

When a disciple can't even pay the interest, it means he's really going to be eliminated by the Holy Sect.

in fact.

Besides exchanging contributions for cultivation techniques, there are other ways to directly obtain cultivation techniques within the Holy Sect.

The sect's minor competition is held once a year.

Those who rank at the top will receive rewards, including the opportunity to exchange for cultivation techniques.

It's just that this year has just ended.

Those who rank in the top three among the outer disciples will directly receive the "Swallowing Heaven Scripture," worth 100,000 contribution points!

Shen Yun never even dared to dream of being among the top three out of 300,000 disciples.

Another channel is the Limit-Breaking Performance Method, which is opened every once in a while, but Shen Yun is not quite sure about it yet.

Even with his powerful strength at the third level of Body Nourishing, there's no hope.

Before going to bed at night.

Shen Yun invested three points of his exclusive blessings, and his breathing technique automatically circulated to refine the blood food.

The usual three-stage body-nourishing and blood-refining process takes at least ten days.

Except when Shen Yun was engraving talismans, his breathing technique operated automatically within his body, allowing him to refine a blood food every three to five days.

After breakfast the next day.

"Wan'er, we received quite a bit of money as gifts yesterday. I'm thinking of using some of it to buy some spirit fruits and beast meat to give back to our neighbors in the alley."

Shen Yun recalled the heartache he felt when he first arrived at Lingnongfang and was struggling financially, and when he gave money to Song Da's family as a gift.

His neighbors were in a similar situation to him back then, but now that he has his current wealth, he wouldn't take advantage of them.

"Yun Lang is kind-hearted, so Wan'er will naturally support him. Two catties of spirit fruit and two catties of beast meat for each family."

Su Wan'er smiled gently and sat down to the side, lightly touching the hem of her skirt.

After the two agreed, Shen Yun went to buy things, while Su Wan'er inspected the spirit fields.

Shen Yun bought the gifts on the street, packaged them separately, and delivered them to each household as return gifts.

Most people admired Shen Yun after seeing this.

They didn't sense any arrogance or flamboyance from Shen Yun after he joined the Holy Sect.

as always.

However, when they knocked on Wang Xuan's door, no one was home.

Qiaoniang had just received the return gift when she shook her head and said, "Wang Xuan went to the Illusionary Mist Garden last night and hasn't come back."

Upon thinking of the so-called Illusion Breaker, Shen Yun was speechless.

It's only been a few days.

"Qiao Niang, I see your array formations are quite good. Are you going to venture into the wilderness again?"

Shen Yun took the remaining spirit fruits and beast meat home without revealing his Void Bag, and chatted with Qiao Niang.

He's recently become interested in divination and is considering setting one up at home.

It's just too expensive.

"Go ahead." Qiao Niang shook her head with a wry smile. "The art of talisman arrays is too difficult to master. I can only barely set up arrays. It's unrealistic to expect to earn resources through it."

I should have learned runestones back then.
