In the hall, at least half of the people surrounded Zuo Chen and listened to Zuo Chen talking in the center.
"There is a big problem with your rune crystal. The inner layer of rune engravings is too dense, which is counterproductive."
"Three of the runes carved on this sword are unnecessary. These three are superfluous, but they prevent the power of the attack runes from being fully exerted."
"This rune is wrongly drawn, it should be drawn like this." Zuo Chen kept talking, while picking up the engraving pen and demonstrating on a sword on the spot.
Everyone's eyes were focused, and they saw that Zuo Chen's hand speed reached its peak for a moment, like a phantom. After a while, the runes on the sword were carved out again.
"This?" Behind the crowd, Chen Zishan opened his eyes wide and pondered for a long time before spitting out a word.
The old man beside him looked at Zuo Chen, with a strange look in his eyes: "Are you sure, this is the apprentice you found for me? Have you never dabbled in the way of runes before?"
Chen Zishan said doubtfully: "That shouldn't be the case. He has indeed never practiced runes before, but a few days ago I gave him some basic things to understand on his own."
The old man walked forward and came to the side of the crowd. When some rune masters present saw the old man's appearance, their expressions immediately changed and they scattered in all directions. At the same time, they said respectfully: "I have met Elder Chen!"
"Yeah!" The old man nodded slightly, and at the same time walked forward, glanced at Zuo Chen, and immediately picked up the sword that Zuo Chen had just finished carving, and looked at it carefully.
Gradually, a look of horror appeared between his brows: "Did you draw this rune?"
"Yes, senior." Zuo Chen nodded.
The old man narrowed his eyes and focused on Zuo Chen for a moment, then suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Okay, okay, after waiting all these years, I finally got it."
"Zuo Chen, right? From now on, you will be my disciple, Chen Yang." The old man laughed, as if he had seen a piece of unparalleled jade in the world, and he was overjoyed.
The whole hall was in an instant sensation!
There were many rune masters present, and everyone had expressions of deep surprise and shock on their faces.
Elder Chenyang has not accepted a disciple for many years. Over the years, there are countless young people trying to get into the latter's sight and become his disciples. Among them are some disciples of great forces with powerful backgrounds, let alone this one.
In the Cangqiong Domain, even the junior rune masters from other major domains also came here because of their fame, but none of them could fall into the eyes of Elder Chenyang.
However, I didn't expect that in front of everyone today, Elder Chenyang would personally tell him about accepting a disciple?
The eyes of some rune masters looking at Zuo Chen were instantly filled with jealousy. No one thought that the figure in front of them who was almost expelled from this place would become the disciple of Elder Chen Yang in the blink of an eye?
While many people were shocked, the expression of Senior Brother Shangguan changed drastically: "Elder, he has never accepted your test and is not qualified to become your disciple."
"Do I need your Shangguan Yun's permission to accept a disciple?" Elder Chenyang spoke sternly and said coldly: "Why do I have to undergo a test? Tests are prepared for waste."
After saying this sentence, all the rune masters present fell silent. Shangguan Yun, on the other hand, said with an ugly face: "Disciples don't dare."
"snort!"
Elder Chenyang snorted coldly: "I have accepted a disciple. I will only have this one disciple in this life. From now on, all my tests will be given up."
"No..., I don't accept it, why?" Shangguan Yun said with all his strength: "This is not fair."
"Are you talking about fairness with me?" Chen Yang was also completely furious and said in a clear voice: "I accept a disciple and need a junior to tell me what to do? Get out!"
After saying that, Elder Chenyang looked at Zuo Chen, his eyes a little gentler: "Follow me."
Zuo Chen didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and immediately followed Chen Yang with Chen Zishan who came over, and the three of them quickly disappeared into the depths of the hall.
After a cup of tea, inside the Rune Masters Guild, in the center of a side hall.
"Sorry, Mr. Chen, I can't accept you as my teacher." Zuo Chen said.
"What? Boy, are you kidding me? Do you know who I am?" The old man blew his beard and glared.
Chen Zishan on one side also said hurriedly: "Zuo Chen, the second grandfather is the first rune master of the guild of the Royal City Rune Masters Alliance. He is also a famous master even within the rune masters alliance."
"I have been determined to follow the path of Yuanwu since I was a child. If Mr. Chen accepts a disciple, I would rather find someone else. I hope you understand." Zuo Chen said with a faint smile, unmoved.
He had sworn in this life that he would never take anyone as his teacher again, so he would not change. Zuo Chen's refusal was quite tactful.
But people were unhappy after hearing this. Elder Chenyang glared at Zuo Chen: "Boy, do you know how many people in this world dream of worshiping me as their teacher?"
"Then Mr. Chen should help some of the younger generations who are interested in practicing on the path of runes to pass on Mr. Chen's mantle." Zuo Chen looked at the other party.
"Fart, the world is stupid, how do you deserve to be looked upon by me, old man?" Elder Chenyang was furious, and then said: "Boy, do you know how noble the status of a rune master is? You inherit my mantle, I have
I am absolutely sure that you will reach the pinnacle of the rune path, not even weaker than me. When the time comes, the entire Dark Night Continent will follow you, and you will be respected by everyone wherever you go."
"Moreover, your understanding of the runes does not affect your practice of Yuanwu. The two coexist, and many people do this." Elder Chenyang looked at Zuo Chen hopefully.
"The two coexist, so they are not as good as you, Mr. Chen, in their attainments in the way of runes." Zuo Chen blinked.
Elder Chenyang was extremely angry, with a look of hatred on his face: "Boy, do you know how talented you are in the way of runes? Give me twenty years, no, ten years, and I will make you the Dark Night Continent.
The first rune master?"
"Sorry!" Zuo Chen's answer was only two words.
Elder Chen Yang's face turned pale, and he turned to look at Chen Zishan: "Girl, you are the one who found me. It's up to you."
Chen Zishan also smiled helplessly, then looked at Zuo Chen and said: "Zuo Chen, you might as well just agree to the second grandfather, right?"
"I was deposed in the past and waited for ten years to start practicing cultivation again. I just hope that one day I can return to where I was before, wash away the shame I suffered, and get justice for my parents, my sister-in-law, and myself. If, I
Giving up the way of Yuanwu is equivalent to giving up your faith. Living like that, even if you become the first rune master in history, what's the point?" Zuo Chen shook his head and sighed.
Zuo Chen's words were very brief, but in the ears of Chen Zishan and Elder Chen Yang, they fell silent.
Elder Chen Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at Zuo Chen, looking at the young and determined face in front of him. At the end, he finally sighed: "That's it, that's it!"
"Of course, although I can't devote myself wholeheartedly, at least I will still get involved in runes. I just hope that when I ask for advice on any issues about rune engraving, Mr. Chen will not refuse." Zuo Chen looked at Chen Yang with a grin.
Elder.
"Um?"
Upon hearing these words, Elder Chenyang's face flashed with light.
"I will definitely not refuse. I have a large number of rune books here. You can browse them at will. Moreover, if you need to engrave any special runes in the future and add runes to your natal weapon, I will naturally help you personally, old man.
." Elder Chenyang immediately made a wish.
"No problem." Zuo Chen nodded with satisfaction and breathed a sigh of relief.
If the other party insists on accepting me as his disciple, it will be embarrassing in the end. This ending is not bad.
"Boy, take a look at this. If you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me later." Then, Chen Yang directly took out an ancient classic and handed it to Zuo Chen.
This turned out to be a relatively primitive book made of that special material, rather than something contained in a rune crystal ball.
"The true meaning of runes!"
Zuo Chen took the book. There were four big characters written on the front of the book, which immediately attracted Zuo Chen's attention.
His eyes were attracted by the book, and after focusing on it for a moment, Zuo Chen said seriously: "Thank you."
The way of runes may not be as difficult to practice as the way of Yuanwu. However, if you want to become a powerful and excellent rune master, in addition to hard work, you must also have the skills and direction.
And this true interpretation of the runes undoubtedly gave Zuo Chen the clearest direction and path.
Zuo Chen did not refuse. He didn't need to say any more pretentious words. It was enough to understand in his heart. If it weren't for the vow he made back then, if it wasn't for the fact that he still had to work hard to practice and get back everything he had, in fact, it would be okay even to become a disciple of Elder Chen Yang.
.
He and Chen Zishan stayed in the Royal City Guild for a short time before bidding farewell to Elder Chen Yang and preparing to return.
Walking out of the hall, I saw Zuo Chen's figure again. Many rune masters present had long since lost their initial disdain and looked at Zuo Chen with admiration.
"Senior Brother Chen, come here often and give us guidance." A rune master said with a smile. Following Elder Chen Yang's previous words about accepting disciples, these people changed the titles of master and senior to senior brother.
"I must come here often, ha." Zuo Chen nodded to some rune masters.
Similar to these rune masters in the hall, they are all apprentices to be precise. They only have some first- and second-level rune attainments. They are not very old and are already close to Zuo Chen. After getting familiar with them,
Putting aside the previous misunderstandings, Zuo Chen found that he was quite able to chat with these people.
After wandering around the Wangcheng Street for a while, Zuo Chen and Chen Zishan returned to the Territory Lord's Mansion.
However, while returning to the Territory Lord's Mansion, Zuo Chen's eyes rested on a chariot at the door. This chariot was blessed with the power of runes and exuded a powerful aura.
In the center of the front, there is a cluster of flame marks that look like living creatures.
A force that owns such a chariot can probably be regarded as a top-notch existence in the Cangqiong Domain, right? Not even Yuanwu Tiangong has such a chariot.
"Is there someone from the Fire Tribe?" Chen Zishan's originally cheerful mood seemed to have darkened instantly, and his face became slightly colder.
