Chapter 93: Dreaming (1/2)

[Basic Proficiency! Explanation of a Thousand Basic Runes]

Author: Scripture Storage Valley, Dongfang Guangling.

The elder of the Weapon Refinement Hall gave Jiang Li a thick book that could crush people to death with its weight.

This basic rune compendium was said to be very practical. The basic runes recorded in it were quite complete. Moreover, at the end of each rune, it introduced the exact effects, characteristics, and so on in detail.

Precisely because there was too much comprehensive content in it that if the enormous amount of information was kept in a jade slip, it was simply not something that a Qi Refinement realm disciple could withstand.

Therefore, this compendium was recorded using the most primitive form of a physical book. It was almost necessary for all newbies to read.

Jiang Li carried it in his arms and weaved through the crowd as he studied.

Sometimes, he would ask questions that he did not understand. Sometimes, he would take the materials and run to the side to practice alone.

Due to his identity and polite attitude, the inner sect senior brothers and sisters of the Weapon Refinement Hall did not hesitate to give him a lot of guidance and help.

As he practiced, time slowly passed. There were already quite a few wooden planks with rune carvings piled up beside Jiang Li.

There were many different types of successful rune boards, but most of them were abandoned failed products.

After all, he was only a newbie and had not received systematic guidance. From time to time, he would still make some low-level mistakes and fail. This was inevitable.

”Junior Brother Jiang Li.”

After an unknown period of time, a small shout sounded. Jiang Li was in a daze. The blade tip tilted, and the entire wooden board was destroyed by the blade.

Jiang Li sighed and did not blame himself for being disturbed. This was already the fourth rune board he had failed consecutively.

The main reason was that his condition had deteriorated. Even if he was not disturbed, he would fail very soon.

This work of carving runes consumed a terrifying amount of mental spirit.

Jiang Li clearly had the vigorous energy to work hard for more than a week, but under the high concentration of drawing the runes, he was actually unable to endure it anymore.

He had just been forcing himself to focus and did not feel anything. At this moment, he stopped what he was doing and a wave of sleepiness immediately overwhelmed him.

Rubbing his temples, he looked at the inner sect disciple who called him.

”Junior Brother Jiang Li, haste makes waste. It's already late, so you should quickly go back and rest.”

Only then did Jiang Li realize that the sky had already completely darkened. The disciples of the other Weapon Refinement Hall had already started to pack their things and leave.

”Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother. I'll go back first.”

Jiang Li had always been a polite person. After thanking him, he stood up and walked towards his small courtyard.

After he left, an elder walked over and asked the disciple who spoke to Jiang Li earlier.

”How many runes did he learn today?”

The disciple flipped through the rune boards on the ground before answering, ”There are a total of seven different runes.”

”Seven? He's a rare talent. It's a pity that he doesn't have a Fire-attribute spiritual root and can't refine weapons by himself.”

...

Jiang Li returned to his small courtyard to wash up before lying on the bed.

Then, just like in his previous life, he instantly sobered up.

He had always been sleepy no matter what he did. Only when he was preparing to sleep did he feel especially awake. At this moment, he had an urge to take out his phone and scroll through it.
