Practicing Basic Sorcery for Billions of Times Made Me Invincible - Chapter 170

The night passed quickly.

The next day, the sky had just begun to brighten.

The entire Li Fire sect was filled with clamor.

Very quickly, countless people walked out of the houses, beginning to gather on the Li Fire Sect’s square.

If one looked carefully, he would discover that these people were all holding thick stacks of rune papers in their hands.

These rune papers had been purchased from the town at the foot of the mountain yesterday.

In fact, due to the large number of people who had purchased these runes, some of the disciples of the Li Fire sect had gone even further into town to purchase them.

Fortunately, this time, Lin Lei had only requested runic papers.

Although runic papers were valuable, they weren’t magical tools. They were things that commoners could use.

Thus, they could be purchased everywhere.

But if Lin Lei was asking for something like a magical crystal, perhaps even if everyone had money, they wouldn’t have anywhere to buy it from.

And now, after a day of buying, everyone had acquired at least ten runic papers each.

One of them was a man dressed in brocade robes. He had the most runic papers.

Not because he was the richest, but because this magus loved to collect runic papers.

In the past many years, he had collected no less than 500 runic papers.

Therefore, this time, he directly relied on selling runic papers to make a fortune, and he also kept many runic papers to ensure that he could sit in the front row.

And this time, the sect had such a large number of disciples going down the mountain.

Roderick naturally knew.

In fact, not only did he know, but he himself had also joined in this purchase.

In addition, as the richest and most well-connected person in the entire sect, he had acquired the most runic papers today.

After all, although he was the leader of a sect, Roderick’s cultivation level was only at the peak of the Magus realm. He wasn’t even at the sage level.

Under these circumstances, he was naturally very focused on teaching Lin Lei.

But of course, the reason why he was so devoted to Lin Lei was that, a few days ago, he had arranged for his daughter to go on a blind date with him, which had been rather awkward.

Right now, he was worrying day and night that because of this, Linley would gradually get rid of his relationship with the Li Fire Sect.

But he hadn’t imagined that Lin Lei would actually take the initiative to offer a public lecture, teaching the entire profound mysteries and divine abilities of the Li Fire sect.

By doing this, he was clearly sending a friendly signal to the Li Fire sect.

How smart was Roderick!

Naturally, he quickly understood Lin Lei’s intentions.

Thus, Roderick didn’t hesitate at all. After Lin Lei had announced the news of the lecture yesterday, he issued a new order to the entire sect:

Everyone in the sect had to insist on listening to Lin Lei’s lecture!

Participate enthusiastically!

Anyone who was able to gain an epiphany from Lin Lei’s lecture would be given training resources to help them train!

…

As soon as this order was issued, Lin Lei’s lecture was equivalent to removing the last layer of worry for the disciples of the sect.

Everyone no longer held anything back, and immediately headed to the marketplace to purchase runic papers.

And the one who was the most enthusiastic was Roderick’s daughter, Natasha.

After being rejected by Lin Lei that day, Natasha didn’t feel any resentment towards him.

Instead, she was moved by the gentleman’s rejection.

Ever since she had returned to her own courtyard that day, she had begun to focus on her training. She swore that through her righteous efforts, she would make Lin Lei look at her in the eyes.

But right at this moment, she heard Lin Lei’s voice transmission.

What was different from the others was that what Natasha remembered most wasn’t that Lin Lei had said that he was going to teach everyone the profound truths and divine abilities, it was that he had mentioned that “People from both the north and the South will come, and they will all be experts on the level of the great sage. They are coming for me.”

Hearing these words, Natasha’s heart trembled.

She couldn’t help but think back to what Lin Lei had said when he had rejected her that day… “Right now, I don’t have the time to think about these personal affairs.”

At that time, she had thought that Lin Lei’s words were just an excuse for him to reject her.

But now, it seemed, that wasn’t the case.

Given how much pressure he was under, he really didn’t have the time to think about starting a family.

So, in the end, I was the one being too narrow-minded…

As Natasha thought about this, she couldn’t help but feel guilty for what she had done in the past.

And then, Natasha couldn’t help but think of another possibility:

If she were to start supporting Lin Lei from today onwards, would there be a possibility that he would fall in love with her?

Thinking of this, Natasha’s cheeks turned red.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was completely possible.

After all, in the stories that many eastern bards told, there would be a template that would be used to describe a love story between Lin Lei and herself. It was called ‘Love Begets Hate’.

Thinking of this, Natasha instantly became even more supportive of Lin Lei’s teaching of the profound mysteries and divine abilities.

As a result, she hadn’t slept well for almost the entire night, worrying about today’s lesson.

Today, she had woken up early in the morning, put on her clothes, and arrived at the venue to arrange for all the disciples to take their seats.

As for the collection of runic papers, she had personally completed it.

Right. This time, Natasha had donated more than 600 runic papers!

The reason she had so many runic papers, aside from being sponsored by her father, Roderick, was because of her habit of saving money.

But of course, the reason why she was able to produce so many runic papers, aside from being supportive of Linley’s decision, was because she wanted to be closer to Lin Lei.

A great sage-level expert…

She had never seen one before.

As for the mageforce of ice, the mageforce of fire, and the profound mysteries and divine ability which Lin Lei had mentioned, she was naturally extremely interested in them.

Thus, today, she truly was prepared to come and learn.

…

And as the sky slowly began to brighten…

More and more people began to gather in the plaza.

By the time Lin Lei had settled on the previous day, there had already been no less than three thousand people gathered here!

Three thousand people.

These were basically all of the disciples of the Li Fire sect.

In fact, the Li Fire sect didn’t even have that many disciples.

These people included some of the ordinary residents of the nearby towns. After hearing the news of Lin Lei’s lecture, they came to listen as well.

And so, in this lively atmosphere…

Time passed, bit by bit.

Soon, everyone saw that on the broken platform in front of the plaza, a ripple appeared in the air. Finally, a black vortex appeared in the air.

A figure slowly walked out of the black vortex…

Seeing this scene, Natasha’s best friend, who was sitting next to Natasha, pointed excitedly at the figure who came out and said,

“Natasha! Look! The man you’ve been thinking about day and night has appeared!”
