After finishing his sentence, he turned to look at Zhang Maoran beside him, his tone serious and decisive, getting straight to the point: "Elder Zhang, how many high-grade holy rune stones does our academy currently have in stock?"
Zhang Maoran pondered for a moment, thought carefully, and replied with certainty:
"Reporting to the Dean, after years of accumulation, and with the recent expedited refining by the disciples, we now have more than 300 high-grade holy rune stones, covering one-star to five-star, of which more than 120 are three-star or above."
Yao Tianji nodded slightly, a calculating glint in his eyes, and gave the order in a deep voice:
"Take half of it, which is 150 yuan, and send people out to hire people, especially those fierce bandits and warriors in the wilderness. They are ruthless and reckless. Hire as many as you can, regardless of the cost."
A hint of hesitation appeared on Zhang Maoran's face, his brows furrowed slightly, and his tone carried a touch of worry:
"Dean, those people in the Wilderness are not easy to deal with! They are all unruly, bloodthirsty, and only care about profit, not human feelings. If you are not careful, you may not only fail to hire them, but you may also get burned and be robbed by them."
Yao Tianji remained calm, his tone composed yet carrying an undeniable air of confidence:
"It doesn't matter. They only care about money, which suits us just the way we want. What we need is their bravery and recklessness. As long as we give them enough benefits, they will obediently serve us and shield us from some of the Silent Court's attacks."
He paused, then added:
"In addition, send someone to pick up Ling Bi and the other children immediately."
Those little guys are all exceptionally talented, possessing extremely high abilities in both sacred runes and martial arts.
If we can bring them into the Holy Rune Academy and nurture them carefully, they will surely become the backbone of the academy in the future, greatly benefiting our fight against the Silent Court and the revitalization of the academy.”
Zhang Maoran nodded quickly and replied respectfully:
"Don't worry, Dean. I've already sent people to pick them up, and there are guards along the way. I don't think there will be any major problems. It won't be long before we can bring them back to the academy safely."
Yao Tianji shook his head slightly, his expression growing increasingly solemn:
"No, this matter cannot afford to be compromised in the slightest."
The Silent Court is now desperate and might resort to underhanded tactics to obstruct the matter or even harm the children.
Just in case, you must go yourself and bring them back safely without any mistakes.
Zhang Maoran's heart tightened, and he immediately understood the importance of this matter. He nodded solemnly and said, "Alright! I will set off immediately and will certainly not fail in my mission to bring Ling Bi and the others back to the academy safely!"
Having said that, he said no more, turned around and left quickly, his figure as fast as lightning, and soon disappeared from the sight of the Holy Rune Hall.
Yao Tianji stood alone in the courtyard, gazing in the direction Zhang Maoran had left. His expression was solemn as he pondered the many matters of preparation for battle. After a moment of silence, he turned and stepped back into the Holy Rune Hall.
But the moment he stepped into the hall, he froze, his feet planted on the spot, his eyes wide open, his face filled with disbelief, and even the air around him seemed to freeze for a moment...
On the stone table in front of Ling Xiao was a high-grade three-star sacred rune stone with a smooth and clear surface. The sacred runes flowed across the stone, and the light was both soft and powerful. It was flawless and could be described as perfect!
A high-grade three-star holy rune stone, and it's flawless!
Yao Tianji stood frozen in place, his heart churning with an overwhelming sense of shock, as if a raging storm was crashing within him... He knew all too well how difficult it was to refine a perfect-grade high-level holy rune stone!
While perfect-grade intermediate-level holy rune stones are somewhat difficult to produce, there are quite a few people within the Holy Rune Academy who can create them, and many experienced holy rune masters can barely manage to refine them.
A perfect-grade holy rune stone—in the entire Holy Rune Academy, besides himself, there is only one elder who has dedicated decades to the study of holy runes and is already over a hundred years old.
It is possible to barely succeed in refining them, and the success rate is extremely low. It often takes several months to refine just one.
Both he and that elder were already halfway to the grave, having spent decades of their lives to reach such a level in the path of holy runes.
How old is Ling Xiao?
In just over twenty years, he went from refining a perfect high-grade one-star holy rune stone to refining a perfect high-grade three-star holy rune stone in just a few days. This speed and talent are simply unbelievable!
A perfect, high-grade holy rune stone!
At this moment, Yao Tianji finally understood why his ancestor Shi Wensheng would reappear after hundreds of years of silence to take Ling Xiao, this young upstart, as his disciple.
This child's talent in the path of sacred runes is nothing short of monstrous; he is a peerless genius, one in ten thousand, appearing only once in a hundred years. He was born for the path of sacred runes.
It was at this moment that he truly believed that Ling Xiao might be able to break through his limitations in the future, refine the legendary high-grade seven-star holy rune stone, and lead the Holy Rune Academy back to its former glory, or even surpass its past splendor.
Ling Xiao slumped in a chair, feeling utterly weak and pale. He was so exhausted that he barely had the strength to lift his arm...
The creation of this high-grade three-star holy rune stone was extremely demanding and exhausting. For three whole hours, he remained focused and attentive, not daring to blink or be distracted in the slightest.
He hadn't focused on anything for a long time, but even so, he dared not slack off in the slightest...
The crafting of high-grade Sacred Rune Stones has zero tolerance for error. The slightest mistake, even the slightest error, will greatly reduce the quality of the entire Sacred Rune Stone, or even render it completely unusable, and all the previous efforts will be in vain.
This exhaustion was deep in his bones. Both the physical depletion and the overexertion of his mental energy made it difficult for him to continue. However, looking at the flawless high-grade three-star holy rune stone on the table, he felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
Yao Tianji slowly regained his composure, suppressing his shock. A relieved smile appeared on his face as he walked slowly to Ling Xiao's side and asked gently, "How are you? Are you exhausted?"
Ling Xiao slowly raised his head, shook his head at Yao Tianji, and showed a bitter smile on his face. His voice was weak: "I'm exhausted. My body feels like it's falling apart, and my mental energy is severely depleted."
Yao Tianji burst into laughter, his tone full of praise and satisfaction:
"You've done exceptionally well; it's nothing short of a miracle!"
For anyone else, being able to successfully create an ordinary high-grade holy rune stone within a month would already be considered exceptionally talented.
To refine a perfect high-grade holy rune stone, one needs at least three months of dedicated study and repeated attempts; otherwise, it's impossible. Many holy rune masters may not even be able to refine a single perfect high-grade holy rune stone in their entire lives.
