9 The mysterious runemaster

The profit that could be made from runes was immense, the actual amount spent on each rune is about one low-level spirit stone each, but they can be sold at twenty-five low-level spirit stones at the lowest quality. The runic patterns were rather complicated to study first, but with a three-star bone frame, the comprehension of the runes was far easier than anything before.

After a total of a thousand runes were made, it was already dawn, the slight breeze that came in was truly bliss after working all night. After making so many runes, there was only one thing to do, and that was to become a 'wandering runemaster'! Runemasters are highly respected and almost no one would dare to scam them, I put on a slight disguise that morphed my appearance to look older and tone my voice done a bit.

The market was crowded, it was the perfect day to start selling items and wares. I immediately searched for an empty spot in the mart and came across a small clearing near the weapons and pill areas. I set down a small rug and immediately started trying to market my runes.

"Buy top class basic runes that advance cultivation speed!!! Whoever offers the highest also gets one rune free!!!" I shouted hoping it should line up customers.

Soon enough, there were tons of people bidding on what they want to pay for the runes.

"I'll pay a thousand!"

"I'll pay five thousand!!!"

Suddenly a loud and noble sounding voiced struck

"fifty thousand!!!" the man shouted

"any higher bidders?" I asked looking around

All of a sudden everyone went quiet.

"hmph, I'll take your entire stock old man!" he ordered, "how many do you have? Ten? A hundred? Money doesn't matter to me, I'll just take them, HAHAHAHAHA!"

"that'll be fifty million low-level spirit stones!" I smiled as I wrapped up all the runic talismans

"eh?" the man suddenly spouted "you have a thousand runes?!?"

"yes! Why? Is it too much?" I asked, "if you want I can give you a small discount?"

"n-no… I'll take them!" the man almost cried "all my money for this month is gone…"

"heh! Pathetic guy! Thankfully I made a massive profit today!" I thought to myself as he slowly stumbled away

Obviously, before I went back, I had to buy more inking herbs as I ran out from all those runes. The ones I had before were merely the herbs to make a basic level rune, but in the store, there are herbs that even have high grade advanced ones! Although the cost was astronomically increased, it was worth it for the long-term investment. Low-grade runic herbs were about five spirit stones each whilst a high-grade runic herb is worth ten thousand each! Although the cost was insanely high, due to the sudden large fortune given to me, I bought a thousand bundles, you never know what could come in handy for the future.

On the way back to the housing complex, I kept my ring hidden, as it contained everything special and unique to me, such as the last few items from my time, which is considered to be from an entirely different era. I immediately started cultivating as I needed to reach the perfection stage of body building so I can finally start exploring more of the dots on the stone tablet's map. The variety of dots on the map were coloured orange, and there were many more colours like green, red and dark red, although one showed up that was rather unique, it was a rainbow patterned dot.

There were a few things I figured out about the dots, they weren't just coloured for no reason, they have meanings, white meant that it was just free treasure, black meant that you definitely shouldn't go there if you want a reward, whilst green meant low risk, low reward and so on. The ones that were the best to go to would be the white and green dots.

The knowledge known from this was merely basic, as the dots may have deeper meanings, some may mean weapons and items, or some may be a large amount of herbs.

After around ten hours of cultivation, I finally ranked up again, the speed increase from my upgraded bone frame and spirit was far more than the benefit given in the chamber, around five times of that. It was finally morning and the day where the sect distributes pills to all the disciples! I immediately rushed towards the contribution hall as those who were late lose half of their pills.

"Everyone form a line!" yelled the hall leader as everyone immediately did as they were told. "Everyone will get five soul forming pills! Hopefully they will nourish your mind and allow your mind to reach the stage of mental cultivation! You will also receive five body building pills to help expand your foundation and allow you to be stronger than others at your stage!"

Everyone got incredibly excited, the pills they used to give out were four each, but now they're giving out five! The increase was only by one, but that's an additional twenty-five percent! The cost for either pill was a thousand spirit stones! For the average disciple, they usually only earn five thousand a month! There was a massive uproar as they immediately straightened up once more.

After everyone got their pills, they announced the new coming of contribution points.

"ehem!! Contribution points are points you can gain on top of the rewards from the mission board, you can also gain them from challenging others! This is the last month of us giving out pills! That's why we were so generous! Everyone starts with one point! Every point you gain is worth another pill! You can also save up points for a large reward!" the hall leader announced
