Yao Tianji quickly waved his hand to add, afraid that Ling Xiao would misunderstand:
“I’m not trying to take advantage of you. All your experience and tips are things you’ve learned through your own exploration, even at the cost of your own health. You have every right to keep them to yourself and decide whether or not to share them.”
"But if you wish, the academy's Saint Rune Master level can be greatly improved..."
"I am willing."
Ling Xiao's answer was crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, directly interrupting Yao Tianji's words with a firm tone.
Yao Tianji was stunned for a moment, his face full of astonishment, clearly not expecting Ling Xiao to agree so readily.
Ling Xiao slowly walked back to the blue stone platform, took out a blank jade slip from his storage ring, and gently placed it on the platform.
He closed his eyes, enduring the exhaustion and depletion of his spiritual energy, and used his divine sense to engrave all his experience, unique tips, insights, and even techniques for avoiding backlash into the jade slip during the process of refining the seven-star high-grade holy rune stone.
This process lasted a full hour.
When Ling Xiao opened his eyes again, his already pale face had lost even more color, making him look even more haggard, but his eyes remained firm and clear, without a trace of regret.
He solemnly handed the engraved jade slip to Yao Tianji.
"This contains all my insights into refining high-grade seven-star sacred rune stones, from the layout and outlining of the sacred runes and the precise control of spiritual power, to the selection of materials and the control of the heat."
"All the details, techniques, and principles you can think of are included."
Yao Tianji took the jade slip with both hands, his fingers trembling slightly uncontrollably.
As the dean of the Holy Rune Academy, he devoted his entire life to the preservation and inheritance of the Holy Rune tradition.
However, the profession of Saint Rune Master is extremely difficult to pass down. The higher the level, the more importance is placed on personal talent and opportunities. Many profound skills can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words, making it difficult to pass down systematically.
But the jade slip that Ling Xiao gave was completely different.
Yao Tianji immediately probed the jade slip with his divine sense, and the more he read, the more shocked and moved he became.
Ling Xiao not only wrote down all the practical skills, but also clearly analyzed the principles behind each skill, the reasons for its application, and the corresponding benefits and risks.
This is not a simple summary of experience, but a complete, systematic, and practical guide to becoming a high-level Seven-Star Saint Rune Master.
Even a six-star Saint Rune Master has a very high probability of breaking through the bottleneck and advancing to a seven-star Saint Rune Master, as long as they diligently cultivate according to the contents of the jade slip.
“Grandmaster…” Yao Tianji’s voice choked with emotion, his eyes filled with emotion as he looked at Ling Xiao, unable to speak for a long time.
"Do you know what this jade slip means?"
Ling Xiao looked at Yao Tianji quietly, without saying a word, his eyes calm and open, without the slightest hint of malice or calculation.
Yao Tianji took a deep breath. "Grandmaster, do you know that the gift you gave us means that the number of Seven-Star Saint Rune Masters in our Saint Rune Academy will no longer be extremely rare?"
"We can train a batch of top-notch seven-star holy rune masters in a very short time... The foundation and strength of the entire Holy Rune Academy will surely undergo a tremendous qualitative leap, and it will join the ranks of the top forces in the Chaotic Martial World."
He clutched the jade slip tightly, his heart pounding with excitement. Others might not understand the value of this thing, but Yao Tianji, as the dean of the Holy Rune Academy, naturally knew it very well.
This stuff is definitely not comparable to gold, silver, or crystals!
"Grandmaster, are you really going to do this?" Yao Tianji still couldn't quite believe it was true.
"If you had kept these exclusive experiences to yourself, passing them down only to your closest disciples, it wouldn't have been long before you became the founding patriarch of the Saint Rune School, revered by countless Saint Rune Masters. But you chose to reveal them all..."
"Because I am also a member of the Holy Emblem Academy."
Ling Xiao's voice was calm and natural, "When I first entered the Chaotic Martial Realm, I came here. Here, I learned the fundamentals of survival, and I also received much care and protection from the teachers and fellow disciples of the academy. Without you all, I would never have been able to learn how to refine high-grade seven-star holy rune stones!"
"Now that I have the ability to contribute to the academy, it is my duty. What is there to hesitate about?"
At this point, Ling Xiao suddenly paused, and his tone became affectionate.
"This is my home."
Those few words were incredibly poignant.
Yao Tianji's eyes instantly reddened.
This old man, who had lived for over a thousand years and weathered countless storms, was so moved by a single sentence from a young junior that he almost shed tears.
"Good! Good! Good!" Yao Tianji said three times, nodding vigorously. "Grandmaster! Don't worry, the academy will never let you down."
"The legacy you leave behind will become the most precious treasure of the Holy Rune Academy, passed down from generation to generation, benefiting countless Holy Rune Masters in future generations, and continuing endlessly."
Ling Xiao smiled wryly: "Dean Yao, you don't have to make it sound so serious. I was just sharing my experience in refining Seven-Star Sacred Stones. It's not some martial arts manual or ancient technique. It's not worth making such a fuss. The item is yours now, so feel free to use it as you like."
He really wasn't used to being praised so highly, it gave him goosebumps all over.
"Haha, what you say is true, Junior Master. You should rest now, Junior Master. You must be exhausted these past few days. I won't bother you any longer!"
After saying that, Yao Tianji turned and left.
Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, slowly turned around, sat cross-legged back on the futon, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing and rest.
Refining the Sacred Rune Stone for three consecutive days and nights without sleep depleted his energy and spiritual power, causing slight backlash in his meridians. He needed to quickly circulate his cultivation technique to recover his condition.
Yao Tianji silently left the cultivation room, gently closing the heavy stone door, afraid of disturbing Ling Xiao's meditation.
He stood outside the tightly closed stone door, staring down at the jade slip in his hand, remaining silent for a long, long time, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Then, he slowly raised his head, gazing towards the depths of the Holy Rune Academy, and murmured softly, his tone full of emotion:
"Young Grandmaster, you have given the academy such a generous gift. How can I ever repay this kindness..."
Ling Xiao spent a full day and night in the cultivation room, barely recovering 70% of his energy. The churning spiritual energy within his body gradually stabilized, and his pale face regained a little color.
When he pushed open the stone door and walked out of the cultivation room, Jiang Chuan had been waiting outside for a long time, his face full of joy.
"Grandmaster." Jiang Chuan stepped forward quickly, a smile he couldn't hide on his face. "I just received some incredibly good news to tell you."
Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone indifferent: "Speak."
"The first one, that girl Lü Ning, has successfully broken through and steadily stepped into the Lower Lord Realm!"
Ling Xiao paused slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.
The lower realm.
Lu Ning's talent may not be considered top-notch among his friends, but her resilience and willingness to work hard are second to none.
