“Master, you’ve gone through a lot of trouble.”
Shen Hanbing was deeply moved as he looked at the medicinal pills in his hand.
“It’s a small matter. After your injuries heal, take these pills.”
Just as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, the sound of a sound transmission symbol on his body rang out.
“Young brother, something has come up. Please come to the Tang Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible.”
Undoubtedly, the owner of the voice was the Medicine Master.
To facilitate contact after the sale of the runic symbols, the Medicine Master had given Jiang Yuan several sound transmission symbols before he left the guild. The one ringing now was precisely the one given by the Medicine Master.
“Take care of your injuries. I need to go out again.”
After meeting Shen Hanbing, Jiang Yuan left the clinic and headed straight for the Tang Chamber of Commerce.
Upon arriving at the Tang Chamber of Commerce, Jiang Yuan saw the Medicine Master who had been waiting for a long time.
“Little brother, the runic symbols you made earlier, there shouldn’t be any problems, right? Even the city lord was alarmed by you!”
The Medicine Master was anxious.
“Oh.” Jiang Yuan responded calmly, showing no signs of urgency.
The Medicine Master became even more anxious.
“If there’s really an issue with the runic symbols, and the city lord happens to get evidence, our guild will definitely be sealed! Are you trying to harm me?”
Jiang Yuan casually said, “Just take me there.”
Although uneasy, the Medicine Master could only bring Jiang Yuan along.
Guided by the Medicine Master, Jiang Yuan arrived at the shop that sold the runic symbols.
Outside the shop, a crowd had gathered to watch.
Inside the shop, there were only a few people sitting. On the left side were Sima Yu, Sikong Ming, and Yu Wenhao. On the right side was the city lord, Ye Gucheng.
Gongsun Yan and Zhang Hongyu, who had purchased the runic symbols, stood on the left and right sides respectively.
“Sorry for keeping you all waiting.” After entering the shop, the Medicine Master greeted politely.
Upon seeing the Medicine Master, Ye Gucheng and Sima Yu both stood up and asked, “President Tang, did you make these runic symbols?”
The Medicine Master turned to look at Jiang Yuan behind him. “I didn’t make these runic symbols. It was this young man who made them. Our guild is only responsible for selling them for him.”
“If his runic symbols have caused any losses to you, our guild is willing to compensate double. Please bear with us.”
Upon hearing the Medicine Master’s words, Ye Gucheng and Sima Yu both looked at Jiang Yuan.
Upon seeing Jiang Yuan’s age, they both showed shocked expressions.
Because in their imagination, the owner of the runic symbols must be an elderly person with white hair and an immortal demeanor.
But they never expected it to be a young man in his twenties!
Compared to Ye Gucheng and Sima Yu, Sikong Ming’s reaction was even more exaggerated.
He wore an expression as if he had seen a ghost, staring dumbfounded at Jiang Yuan, almost popping his eyes out.
Because he was astonished to find that the young man in front of him was the same youth who applied for the runic master position at the guild yesterday and was rejected by him!
How could it be him?
Why would it be him?
Sikong Ming thought he must have been mistaken and dared not believe it. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and then widened his eyes to look at Jiang Yuan.
No mistake!
Indeed, it was the man yesterday!
Sikong Ming was completely flustered; his face soon became sweaty, and he stood there somewhat at a loss.
Seeing Sikong Ming’s reaction, Sima Yu curiously asked, “What’s wrong? Do you know him?”
“I… I…” Sikong Ming stammered, unsure of how to explain.
The Medicine Master looked at everyone in confusion, completely unaware of the situation.
In contrast to everyone’s reactions, Jiang Yuan remained calm.
“What do you want from me?”
Holding the runic symbol in his hands, President Sima Yu approached Jiang Yuan politely.
“Young brother, did you really make this runic symbol yourself?”
“Yes.” Jiang Yuan nodded indifferently as if making a runic symbol was as common as making steamed buns.
“President, we shouldn’t just listen to his words. It’s best to have him prove it.”
Sikong Ming whispered to Sima Yu, clearly not believing that the young man rejected by him could create a tenth grade runic symbol.
Pres. Sima Yu also felt the need to confirm so he said to Jiang Yuan, “Young brother, can you make another runic symbol for us? We just want to witness your crafting technique.”
Without a word, Jiang Yuan picked up the materials in the shop and skillfully crafted another runic symbol in a seamless process within two minutes.
The speed left everyone present dumbfounded.
After completing the runic symbol, Jiang Yuan casually tossed it to Sima Yu as if discarding trash.
Sima Yu took the runic symbol and immediately infused his spiritual power into it.
In that instant, he seemed struck by lightning, freezing in place like a statue.
“P-President, how is it?” Seeing Sima Yu’s reaction, Sikong Ming felt uneasy. He remembered that Sima Yu had the same reaction when he saw the tenth grade runic symbol before.
After a dazed moment, Pres. Sima Yu took a deep breath.
“I’ve seen many masters create runic symbols, but I have never seen such a perfect one! It’s a masterpiece of craftsmanship!”
Hearing Sima Yu’s praise, Ye Gucheng also lost his composure.
“Let me see!” He immediately snatched the runic symbol from Sima Yu and infused his own spiritual power.
Upon detecting the grade of the runic symbol, he instantly treated it as a rare treasure, cradling it in his hands like a mother cherishing her baby.
“Perfect! It’s simply perfect! This is the most flawless runic symbol I’ve ever seen in my life!”
At this moment, the onlookers outside the shop were completely dumbfounded.
Though they didn’t understand runic symbols, they knew the esteemed positions of Sima Yu and Ye Gucheng in the runic world.
It was not an exaggeration to say they were Taishan Beidou in the runic realm.
For them to call a runic symbol perfect, how extraordinary must it be?
It was unimaginable!
In contrast to the shocked crowd, the Medicine Master felt utterly embarrassed.
Ironically, he had been worried about the potential consequences of the runic symbols crafted by Jiang Yuan. Now, it seemed that his concerns were completely unnecessary.
But the one feeling more embarrassed than the Medicine Master was none other than Sikong Ming.
He was ashamed to the point of wanting to find a hole to hide in.
Even Sima Yu and Ye Gucheng regarded it as a perfect runic symbol, and he had previously claimed it was just a prototype?
It was practically slapping his own face!
If this kind of runic symbol is considered a prototype.
What about the ones he made?
Wouldn’t they be even less than prototypes!
