After rushing for two days, they finally arrived at Sunset City the day before the Heavenly Tome Conference. However, when Lin Muyu and Qin Yin arrived at Sunset City, they found that it was overcrowded because of the Heavenly Tome Conference. All the inns were already full. Finally, Lin Muyu used her killer move, "paying three times the room price", and finally checked into a medium-sized inn.
At night, they left the inn and went to the local Heavenly Tome material store to purchase the necessary equipment embryos and spiritual powder for the Heavenly Tome Conference.
…
Sunset City was far more prosperous than Whiteleaf City. For safety's sake, Qin Yin wore a purple cloak, covering her beautiful face under the hood. Only when she raised her head could her beautiful eyes, which were like black gemstones, be seen. Lin Muyu's attire was even more "safe". He changed from a handsome young man to a bearded uncle, and no one could recognize him.
After entering a material shop at the corner of the street, an extremely fat shopkeeper came forward and said with a smile, "Looking at the elegant and extraordinary attire of the two of you, you must be famous scholars. Our shop has everything you need. As long as you want it, we have it. Please choose for yourselves."
Lin Muyu said, "Shopkeeper, what kind of equipment embryos do you have here?"
"Equipment embryos?"
The shopkeeper chuckled and said, "You've found the right place. Our store's equipment embryos can be said to be the most complete and best in Sunset City. We have everything from low-grade equipment embryos to supreme-grade equipment embryos."
"Let's take a look at the supreme-grade equipment embryos first."
"Oh?"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. He thought to himself that a fat sheep had arrived. People who dared to directly say that they wanted to see supreme-grade equipment embryos must be rich. The bearded man in front of him must be the son of a wealthy family, just that he looked a little rough.
"Young Master, please take a look. Our store has a total of two supreme-grade equipment embryos." The shopkeeper held up a steel knife and a shield. He said, "This knife is made of ten-thousand-year black iron. The material is first-rate and has abundant spiritual power. It can greatly increase the chances of completing a book. The price is 200,000 Jin Hun Coins. This shield is made of black iron, and its spiritual power is slightly inferior. The price is 170,000 Jin Hun Coins."
"Oh?"
Lin Muyu took the long blade and the shield and touched them lightly with her knuckles. A "dang" sound echoed continuously. The spiritual power of these two weapon embryos was indeed abundant, but it was definitely not worth such an expensive price. Thinking about it carefully, the Stars Sword hanging on Lin Muyu's waist was the real peerless weapon embryo. However, he didn't dare to inscribe a Heavenly Book on the Stars Sword without 100% confidence. If it didn't become a book, or it became a Human Book or Spiritual Book, it would be equivalent to writing something bad, and he would definitely cry to death.
"Forget it." Lin Muyu put down her sword and shield and said, "Can you show me the high-grade artifact embryo?"
"Yes!"
The shopkeeper was a little disappointed. He didn't feel good about not being able to scam a big shot. He pointed to the counter at the side and said, "These are all high-grade tool embryos. They are priced between 2000 and 7000 Jin Yin coins."
Lin Muyu glanced at them and suddenly smiled. "Shopkeeper, tell me directly, which one is the 2000 Jin Yin coins embryo?"
The shopkeeper's body trembled. He took out a fine steel wrist guard from the counter and said, "This pair of fine steel wrist guards is made from ten million Xuan Steel. It's indestructible. This one … only costs 2000 Jin Yin coins."
"Alright, I'll take it."
Lin Muyu laughed heartily. "Give me some low-grade Xuan Gold Powder too!"
The shopkeeper was startled. "This Sir should also be participating in the Heavenly Book Conference. How can you be so confident that you can complete a book in one go? Why don't you choose a few more weapon embryos? The Heavenly Book Conference only has a time limit, but not a quantity limit. You can inscribe seven or eight weapon embryos in two hours. Why don't you … buy a few more? These two days, many people have bought two-digit weapon embryos in my store! "
"No need." Lin Muyu smiled slightly. "One is enough."
Looking at his overflowing confidence and calmness, the shopkeeper couldn't help but tremble. He sighed to himself. "This is too f * cking stingy!"
Afterward, he spent a small amount of Xuan Gold Powder. However, it wasn't until after he bought it that Lin Muyu remembered that Northern Qi Huan had actually given him some mid-grade Xuan Gold Powder in his dimensional bag. The few hundred Jin Yin coins he had spent earlier had been wasted.
Qin Yin watched from the side as Lin Muyu shopped. She couldn't help but sigh. This brother of hers was too good at running a household. He was not just stingy. He was unwilling to spend money that he could avoid. However, he was never stingy when it came to developing the Magic Crystal Cannons and equipping the Valiant Dragon Army. Thinking of this, Qin Yin's heart warmed.
…
After nightfall, Lin Muyu played with the wristband in his hand. He looked at it carefully and made up his mind. This wristband had a very small area for inscribing divine text. He had to reduce the number of words to about 500 words. This also meant that he couldn't inscribe a complete 1,000 words in the divine book. He had to reduce the divine book of the four great laws to 500 words or less!
Thus, after spending half the night, Lin Muyu had reduced the divine book of the fire laws, "Fire God Extinguishes the World", to 500 words. He had removed some long passages and kept some key words. He didn't know if he could make it into a book, so he could only put it together.
The next day, he woke up early and checked out of the room with Qin Yin. They led the two war horses straight to the Heavenly Tome Conference.
The Heavenly Tome Conference was held in the Hall of Heavenly Tome at the side of the Sunset Temple. The Hall of Heavenly Tome was the number one department of Heavenly Tome in the Swift White Province personally approved by Commander Qin Yi. It had the same status as the Heavenly Tome Pavilion in the North Ridge Province. The plaza of the Hall of Heavenly Tome was already filled with tens of thousands of tables for the participants to use. When Lin Muyu and Qin Yin rushed to the periphery, they saw a sea of people. Qin Yin was a little worried. "Brother Yu, let's hurry and sign up. Otherwise, the quota will be full …"
"Okay."
Lin Muyu said, "Let's sign up separately!"
"Okay!"
Qin Yin took the lead and squeezed into the crowd. He slowly released a little pressure from his body and pushed the surrounding people away, allowing him to successfully reach a group of examiners. After spending 10 Jin Yin coins to sign up, he received a bamboo stick with his name and participation number written on it. Of course, the name was written as Lin Yin, a very ordinary name.
It was only when Qin Yin came out that Lin Muyu squeezed into the crowd. An examiner raised his head and squinted at him. He asked, "What's your name? What's your identity? Where are you from?"
Lin Muyu blurted out, "My name is Li Laifu. I'm from the eastern border of the Swift White Province. I'm the Li Residence's Protector."
"Li Residence's Protector?"
The examiner laughed loudly. "A mere Protector dares to participate in the Heavenly Tome Conference? What a joke … Give me 10 Jin Yin coins and I'll write your name on it."
"Yes."
After Lin Muyu handed over the gold coins, the examiner waved his brush and wrote four words on it — Li Residence's Protector, Li Laifu!
…
"Dang dang dang dang …"
The gong sounded noisily, and an examiner yelled at the top of his lungs, "The Heavenly Tome Conference is about to begin. Participants, please return to your seats. Those who have completed a book, please come to the main examiner's office to register within two hours!"
Ten thousand people were inscribing a Heavenly Tome together. It was a spectacular sight. Meanwhile, Lin Muyu and Qin Yin's tables were about 50 meters apart. Through the crowd, Qin Yin smiled sweetly at him. Lin Muyu gave her a thumbs up to encourage her. The materials Qin Yin used were all of the best quality. Logically speaking, she should be able to compete for a place.
"Marquis Sunset has arrived!"
A fat figure appeared in the Heavenly Tome Hall's main hall. It was Marquis Sunset, Man Ning! Lin Muyu looked at him from afar. Man Ning seemed to be fatter and older, but the cunning gleam in his eyes did not change. Dozens of guards with extraordinary cultivation surrounded Man Ning's fat body. Not far away, the figure of a high-ranking general of the Country of Nominal Peace also appeared. It was Ding Xi!
Lin Muyu never thought that she would see Ding Xi here. He wouldn't recognize her, would he?
She quickly lowered her cultivation aura to the minimum, then lowered her head and did not look up. Not far away, Qin Yin did the same. It would be strange if Ding Xi could recognize her in the examination hall of tens of thousands of people.
Man Ning raised his hand and gestured. Immediately, the main examiner stood up and said loudly, "The competition begins. The time limit is two hours!"
…
The young masters and ladies in the competition hall were moved. One by one, they took out their tool embryos and placed them at the side. They began to write with flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, but soon, the sound of sighs became one. In nearly half an hour, no one could write a book. It could be seen how difficult it was to write a Heavenly Tome.
Lin Muyu carefully sat cross-legged in the same place. He used mid-grade black gold powder to write Oracle Bone Script characters that were almost indistinguishable to the naked eye on the black steel wristband. He was so focused that he did not look at the progress of the other participants. He also did not notice that a few young masters he had met in Whiteleaf City a few days ago were sitting at the tables beside him.
However, a few of the young masters recognized Lin Muyu. They could not help but laugh mockingly, "Isn't this the guard who accompanied the beautiful young mistress in Whiteleaf City to drink and eat meat? This kind of idiot actually dares to participate in the Heavenly Tome Conference. He is simply asking to be humiliated. If he can write a book, I will eat sh * t! "
The red embroidered young master's brush suddenly flew up and shot into the sky. It was a light green brilliance. He could not help but be overjoyed, "Ah ha, I've written a book. It's a low-grade spiritual book!"
The bystanders all cast envious gazes at him.
Not long after, a few more people wrote books, but they were all human books.
Lin Muyu was still focused on writing on the black steel wristband in his hands. The surface of the wristband was suffused with a faint golden light. To be able to write so small was also a kind of ability!
…
At this moment, many of the young masters had already turned their gazes to the front. They saw a beautiful young lady dressed in luxurious clothing sitting there. She had a delicate face, beautiful eyebrows, and bright eyes. She was a young lady who was full of spirit. The spiritual brush in her hand was constantly waving, writing the marks of the black gold powder on a shield. She looked very focused.
The green embroidered young master at the side was enchanted. "Oh my god, is that the number one beauty of Sunset City, Man Tingfang? As expected, she is as beautiful as a jade carving. If I can get first place, will I be able to marry her? "
Man Tingfang seemed to have heard the young master's words. She immediately looked back, her beautiful eyes filled with disgust. This was an incomparably cold and arrogant young lady!
