Chapter 169: 169

Chapter 169: Killing Two Birds With One Stone

“Because this method is far fairer than relying on innate talent… !”

After Lin Lei slowly said these words, many of the people of the Li Fire Sect, who had been preparing to make a ruckus, fell silent.

Lin Lei was right.

In the past, whenever experts of the sage level or higher came to teach, they would always show more favoritism towards talented disciples.

As for those who weren’t talented, they generally wouldn’t pay too much attention to them.

Discrimination existed all the time.

This was especially true in a world like the Magus world, where competition was fierce.

But today, Lin Lei actually said that he didn’t care about talent. He only cared about the number of runic diagrams that a cultivator had to pay, and that would determine the position of the person who attended the lecture.

To those who weren’t talented, this was definitely a very fair way for them to learn.

Thus, after Lin Lei finished speaking, quite a few disciples began to grow restless, preparing to go back and collect the materials for the runic papers.

It must be understood that runic papers weren’t some cheap item. On the contrary, they were extremely precious.

Everyone needed to put in a lot of effort in order to collect these runic papers.

But of course, at this moment, everyone still didn’t understand why Linley was asking them for runic papers.

Only quite a few smart people would secretly think that these runic papers might be of great use to Lin Lei, which was why he was suddenly collecting them on such a large scale.

But as for what use he had, no one could guess at all.

As for Lin Lei, it seemed as though he quickly sensed everyone’s confusion, and so he calmly explained.

“Everyone, actually, my true purpose in collecting these runic papers is very simple. It is for the sake of my four personal disciples.”

Eh?

For the sake of his four personal disciples?

Hearing this, everyone had puzzled looks on their faces.

What did he mean?

Why did he say it was for the sake of his four disciples?

Why would his four personal disciples need these runic papers?

“To be more precise, I need these runic papers to be used to inscribe the mystic abilities I am going to teach them.”

Lin Lei continued to slowly explain,

“After Walton and the other three finish their closed-door training, they can use these runic papers to learn new mystic abilities.”

“As for why I didn’t teach them myself…”

“It is because I’m going to leave the Li Fire sect for a period of time.”

“So, actually, this lesson should be the last one.”

“After this lesson ends, you may not see me for a very long time.”

“So, if possible, I still hope that all of you can come and listen to my lesson.”

“In this lecture, I might be able to impart the mageforce of ice to the north, and the mageforce of fire to the south.”

“This will be of great help to everyone.”

“In addition, just as I said, all of the runic papers I collected this time will be used to inscribe mystic abilities.”

…

Lin Lei slowly finished his explanation, and everyone immediately understood.

And as soon as Lin Lei announced that he was about to leave, everyone’s interest in attending Lin Lei’s lecture grew even more intense!

In addition, just as Lin Lei had said, during this lecture, he would impart to everyone the spells of ice and fire.

Let’s not talk about the fact that they had never seen or even heard of these spells before!

Now that they heard that Lin Lei was going to begin his lecture, everyone was naturally getting extremely interested.

Thus, there was only one question: when would Lin Lei begin his lecture?

Everyone couldn’t help but guess.

But right at this moment, Lin Lei’s voice slowly rang out,

“Then, everyone, let’s meet tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow, at dawn, in front of the square of the Li Fire Sect, my first lecture will begin.”

“Everyone, you can bring your runic papers then. When the time comes, we will meet in the square…”

…

By the time he finished speaking, Lin Lei’s voice had already begun to weaken before completely disappearing…

Sensing that Lin Lei’s voice had ended, the disciples of the Li Fire sect all raised their heads.

At this moment, everyone in the sect had a completely new look on their faces!

Everyone’s eyes were filled with exquisite light.

They didn’t hesitate at all. They immediately rose to their feet, then quickly ran in the same direction.

The shops in the town that sold runic papers!

They had to be fast!

If they arrived too late, they might very well be out of luck to get any!

Everyone used their mageforce, channeling their mageforce into their legs.

Then, they leaped into the air and began to frantically run…

…

And then there was Lin Lei.

After finishing his transmission with the disciples of the Li Fire Sect, he slowly opened his eyes.

And then, he let out a long sigh.

“I never would have imagined that one day, I would resort to this sort of method to collect runic papers…”

“This sort of method is quite similar to the way celebrities in my past life sold tickets for concerts…”

Lin Lei thought back to the past, and a hint of a bitter smile appeared in his eyes.

Actually, when he suddenly thought of using this method to collect runic papers, he had an idea.

Actually, he had two ideas at the very beginning.

The first was to collect runic papers. At that time, he was prepared to go and collect them himself.

The second was to teach the people of the Li Fire sect a few profound mysteries. The more people, the better. After all, the crisis was coming, and he didn’t have much time left.

After he thought of these two ideas, he couldn’t help but think: wouldn’t it be better to directly fuse these two ideas together?

Then, he thought of this “Ticket system”.

Then, he thought about it for the whole night, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was completely feasible.

This was simply killing two birds with one stone, or even killing four or five birds with one stone…

Then, the scene just now appeared:

He began to communicate with the disciples of the entire sect, announcing the news that he was preparing to start the class tomorrow.

The results were very successful.

Everyone’s reactions were very strong.

Now that everything was ready, they were just waiting for tomorrow’s Assembly to see what the results would be…

Whoosh!

Lin Lei let out a long sigh of relief.

Actually, to be honest, he was actually rather nervous.

After all, having lived two lifetimes, this was the first time he had given such a large-scale lecture.

One had to know that in his previous life, he had actually failed five or six courses a year.

Forget lectures. He couldn’t even be bothered to listen to them at all.

Right now, there were actually tens of thousands of people who were excited to listen to his lessons.

This was truly…

In the past, this would be completely unimaginable!

However, despite being nervous, Lin Lei was still very confident.

His current level of power was indeed worthy of the title of ‘lecturer’.

But of course, more importantly, he had no choice but to act now.

Seeing that the north and south were about to arrive, he had to hurry up and increase the power of the eastern cultivators.

Thus, there was no need for him to be overly cautious when the north and south arrived.

“Thus, I’ll just wait for tomorrow.”

“How many people will come? How many runic papers will I get? My heart is filled with more anticipation than anyone elses’!”
