The Divine Talisman Master had ntioned that it would take a few days and that Ye Luo should familiarize himself with the surroundings. To be honest, having Ye Luo stay here alone, he had nothing to do. And with so many enticing books around, Ye Luo often felt an irresistible urge to sneak a peek!
To avoid doing sothing so embarrassing, Ye Luo had no choice but to go out!
What Ye Luo didn’t expect was that the courtyard he was in was actually at the highest point of the entire Divine Rune Sect!
Even the main hall of the Divine Rune Sect was below this small courtyard, and quite a distance away!
Since no one would manage Ye Luo anyway, he ventured out with a mix of curiosity and trepidation!
Of course, Ye Luo hadn’t forgotten to carry his token!
From his ti at the Sect, Ye Luo had learned that these tokens were like keys. Despite the apparent lack of restrictions on those courtyards, powerful formations surrounded them. Without a token, one might not only fail to pass through the formation but might also face terrifying attacks if they did!
After all, that courtyard was Ye Luo’s temporary ho, and he certainly didn’t want to be attacked!
Ye Luo had to go out. Now that no one was overseeing him, it suited him just fine. He knew that his primary goal here was none other than the Ancient Talisman Scrolls in the Divine Rune Sect’s library!
Although he didn’t know why Elder Jin insisted he must learn them, Ye Luo believed it was for his benefit!
Being new here, Ye Luo couldn’t directly enter the library, but at least he could scout out its location and entry requirents!
With this in mind, Ye Luo quickly walked out. Curiously enough, Ye Luo discovered that no matter where he went, the disciples of the Divine Rune Sect wouldn’t inquire about him at all!
And Ye Luo was still dressed in casual clothes!
In Ye Luo’s mind, he couldn’t help but think how free the Divine Rune Sect was. Were they not afraid of soone sneaking in to cause trouble?
Little did Ye Luo know, despite only being here for a few hours, he was already famous throughout the Divine Rune Sect!
After all, Ye Luo was chosen by the Divine Talisman Master!
How noble was that identity? In the entire Divine Rune Sect, apart from the Divine Talisman Master and the Sect Master, practically no one dared to interfere with Ye Luo. Moreover, Ye Luo now carried a token representing his status and the Divine Talisman Master’s approval!
It’s safe to say, not only could Ye Luo wander around, but even if he did sothing excessive or intruded on any part of the Divine Rune Sect’s grounds, no one would dare stop him!
At that mont, an official discipleship ceremony was taking place outside!
The third stage of the examination was actually for ranking disciples!
The Divine Rune Sect, like many other sects, categorized disciples into different levels!
This was unavoidable since there were limited resources and it was impossible to treat everyone equally. Naturally, those with better aptitude received more resources!
Ordinary disciples, elite disciples, Inner Sect disciples, and those selected by various elders as personal disciples!
This was the Divine Rune Sect, and it was also the usual categorization for most sects!
Of course, Ye Luo was an exception. Ye Luo’s status? It’s accurate to say he’s a disciple, but even the average elder doesn’t hold as high a status as him now!
Unfortunately, Ye Luo wasn’t aware of this at all.
He didn’t even know who the Divine Talisman Master was!
Nor did he understand what he had received, so much so that Ye Luo even went to the apprentice ceremony, gazing enviously at the others!
Ye Luo felt abandoned, thinking he failed the examination!
Though the talisman characters he crafted were indeed powerful, Ye Luo didn’t know the examination rules and thought that having a powerful talisman didn’t necessarily an high scores. Besides, having received a record low score, he naturally thought he had been left out and that the Divine Talisman Master kept him around just to do chores!
Ye Luo felt quite lancholy, standing there silently watching others taking on masters!
He didn’t realize that not just the disciples, but even the surrounding elders were watching him in bewildernt!
Had he not been newly admitted, these people might all have rushed over to greet and pay respects to him!
The identity token dangling from Ye Luo’s waist, which he regarded rely as a key, was embossed with nine patterns that couldn’t be faked!
The presiding elder here, with the highest status, had only six patterns at the most!
The disparity in their status was obvious!
Especially seeing Ye Luo’s downtrodden expression, everyone was utterly perplexed!
This guy had already been accepted as a pupil by the Divine Talisman Master, so why such a gloomy face?
After a while, Ye Luo found that there wasn’t much to see, just elders selecting disciples to take under their wing, while unselected ones were randomly assigned to various main halls, and then given so reward based on rankings to wrap it up.
So Ye Luo only watched for a bit before leaving enviously!
If those around knew what Ye Luo was thinking, they might have wanted to strangle him!
This was the classic case of getting a bargain and putting on airs!
Since no one was minding him, Ye Luo wandered around indiscriminately. Before long, he arrived at a bustling place, the Talisman Crafting Hall!
The so-called Talisman Crafting Hall was the place within the Divine Rune Sect designated for producing talisman characters!
After all, the Divine Rune Sect had livelihoods to maintain, with so many disciples to support and cultivation resources to provide. Relying solely on fixed industries was insufficient, so they needed to sell so talisman characters!
Talisman characters were consumables, and the consumption rate was quite large!
Whether for battles between individuals, exploring Secret Realms, or dealing with demon beasts, talisman characters were always prepared in abundance!
Array Masters capable of creating talisman characters were very rare. Don’t be fooled by Ye Luo looking as if he hadn’t done much to inherit the talisman character craft, thinking Array Masters were common in the Martial Realm!
In fact, the opposite was true; the number of talisman character Array Masters was extrely low!
Even though many Array Masters can’t actually craft talisman characters!
It’s true that most talisman character masters are also Array Masters, but that doesn’t an all Array Masters can beco talisman character masters!
Because of this, business in the Divine Rune Sect consistently thrived, and the produced talisman characters almost imdiately sold out as soon as they were sent down the mountain!
Witnessing large-scale talisman character production was truly a sight Ye Luo hadn’t seen before.
And today, having inadvertently stumbled upon it, Ye Luo could really broaden his horizons!
A few Divine Rune Sect disciples responsible for guarding the area initially prepared to stop and even expel Ye Luo the mont he entered. However, seeing the token on Ye Luo, they imdiately greeted him respectfully. Ye Luo didn’t think much of it, just feeling that the people here were quite polite!
