NABC Chapter 117 I'd be letting everyone down if I didn't succeed.
Chapter 117 I'd be letting everyone down if I didn't succeed.
Qin Bilian's gaze softened slightly, but after looking at Deacon Jin for a few moments with a complex expression, his tone remained stern: "Do you know what Wang Yan is doing right now?"
Seeing that Deacon Jin looked completely bewildered, Qin Bilian slammed his fist on the table in exasperation: "He's trying out the Time Rune!"
"What?" Deacon Xiao Jin was startled and quickly used his divine sense to observe Wang Yan's condition again, then asked with disbelief, "How did you know?"
"Peak Master Zhu once said that his current state can slow down the aging process!" Qin Bilian pointed at Deacon Xiao Jin with annoyance, "Zhao Ming came here, probably because of Mo Jingqing! You two...!"
"Wang Yan, was he also provoked by Zhao Mingtong?" Deacon Xiao Jin was quite regretful. "This disciple really didn't expect Zhao Mingtong to be involved with Wang Yan and Timo Jingqing! What should we do now? Should this disciple go to Renyi Peak and invite Peak Master Guan over?"
"I'm contacting Peak Master Guan right now!" Qin Bilian glared at him irritably. "You keep a close eye on Wang Yan. If you spot any signs of aging on his face, immediately break down the door and interrupt him!"
Although he was transformed into the earth and was carefully selecting divine characters of the time and space systems to combine into divine script, Wang Yan could still hear the sounds from the outside world and the conversation between Deacon Xiao Jin and Qin Bilian.
"Not bad, they know how to care about me," Wang Yan thought to himself as he continued to combine the divine runes.
He didn't care whether Guan Xizhi came or not. Of course, it would be better if she came, so that rescue could be carried out at any time.
……
At Renyi Peak, Guan Xizhi was reviewing the list of medicinal herbs handed over by Ding Miaolan when she was startled to receive Qin Bilian's divine sense.
After hearing Qin Bilian's meaning, Guan Xizhi was also slightly surprised and opened her mouth slightly: "What?...Okay, this disciple will come right away."
She carefully put away the list of medicinal herbs in her hand, and after being greeted by a group of servants, she calmly walked out of the main hall, dismissed all the servants, and immediately flew to the Divine Inscription Hall. In less than half a cup of tea's time, she had arrived.
Qiu Xuankuang, who was stunned on the first floor, nodded slightly. Guan Xizhi then flew up to the second floor, knocked on the door of the control room, and after receiving permission, anxiously entered. She first greeted Qin Bilian and then asked in a hurry.
"Grandmaster, why did Wang Yan suddenly decide to ponder the divine runes of time?"
When Qin Bilian glared at him with annoyance, the little Jin steward beside him looked like a child who had done something wrong, with his hands down, head bowed, and muttering, "I'm afraid he was provoked by Senior Brother Mo."
Guan Xizhi was stunned for a moment, then a look of understanding appeared in her eyes, and she sighed with pity: "This child... Mo Jingqing's Sea of Consciousness level is only slightly higher, but his Flower of Literary Heart level is much lower than his. Why is he still in such a hurry?"
Qin Bilian's brows were furrowed with wrinkles: "I called you over in case something happens to him, so you can provide timely treatment. Let's wait another half a cup of tea's time. If he still hasn't moved after that time, I'll force the door open, and you can start treatment immediately!"
"Yes," Guan Xizhi quickly nodded in agreement.
Deacon Jin then asked timidly, "Peak Master, Uncle Guan, you...don't you have much faith in him?"
"If this had happened a year later, I would have believed him!" Guan Xizhi looked at him with great sympathy, then retorted bluntly, "But now, how many divine characters does he possess? He hasn't seen many divine texts either, has he? Without sufficient accumulation, how could he possibly write a time-related divine text that wouldn't affect his lifespan?"
Deacon Xiao Jin fell silent, looking at Wang Yan with a hint of shame.
On the first floor, Qiu Xuankuang, who was on duty, saw Guan Xizhi stop at Wang Yan's door and then go into the control room. His old face immediately changed.
At that moment, Zhang Ming pushed open the main hall door with great concern, peeked inside, and hurriedly slipped in, whispering to Qiu Xuan, "Old Qiu, was that Peak Master Guan just now? She...."
Qiu Xuankuang gestured towards the second-floor room where Wang Yan was.
Zhang Ming released his divine sense to investigate, and his expression immediately changed drastically. He exclaimed in a low voice, "Junior Brother Wang...? That talisman array outside him looks like an isolation talisman array used exclusively by Hundred Herbs Peak?"
"You're not mistaken!" Qiu Xuankuang confirmed regretfully, "I'm afraid Peak Master Guan was specially invited by our Grandmaster."
Zhang Ming immediately understood, his eyes widening in disbelief: "Junior Brother Wang is practicing the Time Divine Script? Was he forced to do it by Mo...that person?"
"Otherwise what?" Qiu Xuankuang sighed helplessly. "I think he probably doesn't want the people of Baicao Peak to support that one! It's a pity that he's so young, yet so troubled by love..."
Zhang Ming looked blankly at the second floor, then said with a face full of regret, "How old is he? How could he be so foolish?"
"Shh!" Qiu Xuankuang put his index finger to his lips again: "Don't say anything, and don't let it get out. Just in case..."
"Alright, I won't say anything." Zhang Ming glanced worriedly in Wang Yan's direction again, then shook his head and turned back to stand guard outside the hall.
……
Wang Yan could sense that Guan Xizhi quickly opened the door to the Divine Inscription Hall, went up to the second floor, stood at his door for a while and observed intently, and then knocked on the door of the control room next door.
Moreover, Guan Xizhi did not close the door after entering, so Wang Yan overheard their conversation.
They also overheard every word of Zhang Ming and Qiu Xuankuang's conversation.
Afterwards, Wang Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Unexpectedly, all the inner disciples of the Cloud Cauldron Sect turned pale at the mere mention of the Time Divine Inscription.
Even though he had submitted many outstanding articles with the word "divine" in his name and had repeatedly ranked in the top five or even top three of the best-selling lists, those who knew him well still didn't think highly of him!
Of course, the consumption and damage to lifespan caused by time-related divine runes is indeed something that makes people tremble with fear and dare not act rashly. Even though his mind was full of time-related words, he had to be careful and try them one by one at this moment.
This speed is naturally much slower than when I applied for other divine scripts before.
I don't blame people for not being optimistic.
"With everyone caring so much about me, I'd be letting them down if I didn't succeed!"
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in Wang Yan's mind.
Outside the Divine Inscription Hall, inside the Divine Inscription Hall?
"I'm so stupid! Time and space are actually easy to combine; it just depends on whether you can think outside the box!"
"There's a sentence that would be quite suitable for Baicaofeng, but it can't be copied verbatim; a few words need to be changed."
Wang Yan first tried to combine the divine text related to time that he had come up with in his sea of consciousness.
When the last character "年" (year) was successfully dragged to the end of the sentence, it only consumed half of the profound energy, but there was no discomfort. Wang Yan felt relieved and the weight that had been hanging over his heart was lifted.
"The beauty of Chinese characters is truly wondrous! I succeeded!"
Next, we need to verify its effectiveness.
Wang Yan slowly dismantled the "Body Transforms into Earth" combination within his sea of consciousness.
As the stiffness and sluggishness gradually subsided, Wang Yan felt a bit tired and powerless.
It was as if the original owner had just joined the sect and had done odd jobs for a day.
"This must be a side effect of the time runes I combined before! No wonder Duro was so wary of Hundred Herbs Peak."
