Chapter 18 (1/2)

“Should I do it or not?”

After calming down, Lin Xun couldn’t stop thinking about this.

All was unknown to him – The risks accompanying with the first test of the Green-cloud Path was unknown, and the results if he failed were also unknown.

However, he was sure that if he succeeded, he would get the Meditating Magic and got closer to the Gate to Heaven at the end of the path.

Should he do it or not?

No one would tell Lin Xun what to do; he could only rely on himself.

Wait!

If there was nobody here, where did the voice come from? Lin Xun thought of it suddenly.

“Elder, could you please give me some information for preparation before beginning?”

Looking up, Lin Xun cupped his hands and asked. Although he couldn’t see the person who gave the order, it was better to act modestly in need of assistance.

However, no one answered at all for a long period, except for that suspending and shining light curtain a few steps in front.

“So I have to make the decision all by myself.”

Lin Xun sighed in heart with determination in his eyes. He was never an overcautious and indecisive person.

If he gave it up while there was a chance, he would regret it.

“Yes, I will do it.”

Lin Xun answered and then like a signal, that cool and cold voice announced again, “The test begins – Please learn and master Flowing-light Spiritual Tattoo before going to the next test.”

Flowing-light Spiritual Tattoo?

Test my ability on inscribing spiritual tattoos?

While Lin Xun still felt confused about it, there was a ripple appearing on that light curtain, as if it was awakened.

Then a complex and obscure spiritual tattoo appeared in the light curtain. Just liking dancing flowing light, every pattern was streaming trippingly, making people feel dazzled.

Being attracted, Lin Xun couldn’t help but step closer to observe it intently.

Lin Xun had learnt spiritual tattoos with Mater Lu since childhood, so he knew well about them.

Spiritual tattoos, also known as spiritual tattoo designs, had various effects and power. Based on the power of each one, spiritual tattoos could be divided into basic and advanced spiritual tattoos.

The basic type included simple spiritual tattoos, like Red-fire Spiritual Tattoo, Birthwort Spiritual Tattoo, Gold Spiritual Tattoo, etc.

The advanced type, also known as Spiritual Tattoo Formation, was combined by different basic spiritual tattoos.

In general, spiritual tattooists would call them Spiritual Tattoo Pattern and Spiritual Tattoo Formation distinctively, which could also help to separate a spiritual apprentice and a spiritual tattooist.

One who could master 36 kinds of basic spiritual tattoo patterns was a junior spiritual apprentice; one who could master 72 kinds, an intermediate spiritual apprentice; and one who could mater 108 kinds, a senior spiritual apprentice.

If one could inscribe a spiritual tattoo formation by himself, then he could be qualified as a spiritual tattooist.

Well, Lin Xun knew nothing about the division of these qualification titles, but it didn’t mean he was not good at it. Actually, he had known various basic spiritual tattoos by heart. Having learnt to inscribe spiritual tattoos with Master Lu for many years, Lin Xun practiced it every day. Until now, he mastered more than one thousand kinds!

However, all were basic spiritual tattoos that Lin Xun could inscribe with his cultivation at present.

Even so, any other spiritual tattooists would be totally shocked to know that Lin Xun, who was only 13 years old, mastered more than one thousand basic spiritual tattoos.

After all, one who mastered 108 kinds of basic spiritual tattoos was already ranked as a senior spiritual apprentice.

So you could tell Lin Xun had incredible skills on basic spiritual tattoos.

Unfortunately, Master Lu had never told this to Lin Xun. Instead, he just denied Lin Xun’s ability every time Lin asked .

Lin Xun then thought hard about it, but there was no trail of this basic spiritual tattoo known as Flowing-light Spiritual Tattoo. He had never heard of it.

Yes, Lin Xun recognized at the first glance that it was a basic spiritual tattoo, not a spiritual tattoo formation, appearing on that light curtain.

Unfortunately, he never heard of this kind of spiritual tattoo, and Master Lu had never mentioned anything about it.

Lin Xun understood that there were numerous basic spiritual tattoos in the world, so even if he could not recognize it, it didn’t mean that this did not exist.

So he refocused and felt pleased secretly to find the first test of the Green-cloud Path was simply a basic spiritual tattoo.
