The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 1271 There are 100 Golden Runes?!

Chapter 1271 There are 100 Golden Runes?!

?Ji Yuan said to Destiny with a straight face, "Don't worry. Leave it everything to me."

With that, he took an awkward look as he walked to the towering blue portal and Destiny followed closely behind him.

Then he took a look at the black mountains that were far away and he saw many big golden runes engraved on the mountains.

Ji Yuan gulped as he tried to check which of the golden runes would fit the word S-A-N-T-A.

He thought: These are the 5 words, right?

However there were a hundred golden runes that were scattered on the black mountains around him.

He thought that if he was a cultivation hero in the cultivation story then he would be able to solve it instantly because he was the MC. And he don't even need to think about it.

But the reality hits him hard.

He did not even know which of the runes actually represented the word S-A-N-T-A.

In fact, he had thought that all he needed to do was to identify 5 golden runes. The one with the repeated rune would be the letter A.

Destiny asked him, "Well, are you ready to enter this blue portal now?"

Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "Wait. You just cause me to lose my focus. I need to restart from zero again. I was so close to identifying the 5 golden runes. Alas."

Destiny: …

Ji Yuan began to sweat coldly as he darted his golden eyes as he stared at the large golden runes to memorize it.

There were indeed 100 golden runes in this place and it took him some time to commit to memory.

He turned awkwardly to Destiny and said to her, "I need to meditate for a little while to gain an insight first…"

He actually meant to say he needed some time to try to figure out which were the correct runes instead.

Usually, the MCs in the cultivation stories would magically gain an 'insight' to reveal to them a solution.

All he needed now was to search his vast cultivation knowledge that was in his mind that he had cumulated in his long years of cultivation for an 'insight'.

But there was a little problem though.

He had actually not come across any of the golden runes before in his life so how could it even magically appear in the vast cultivation library of his mind?

Xiang Li giggled to him: Big Brother, I am afraid that 90% of your 'vast' cultivation library isn't about cultivation.

Anyang covered her face awkwardly as she knows that Ji Yuan was only trying to put on an image of a wise cultivator in front of the Goddess Destiny.

Ji Yuan frowned to Xiang Li: Shup up, Xiang Li! Do you know that you have just distracted me from my thoughts? I was on the verge of gaining an insight!

Xiang Li giggled: Is that so?

Ji Yuan pointed out: That golden rune on my right side that resemble a circle. Don't you think that it looks like a Sun?

Xiang Li asked curiously: So what?

Ji Yuan chuckled: Just think about it. In our celestial language, the sun starts with the letter S. It may be a S instead!

Xiang Li looked very impressed with Ji Yuan: Woah! I didn't think about it. Big Brother, you may be right!

Anyang frowned: My foot. This is definitely not correct.

Ji Yuan protested immediately: My dear Anyang, I do have a chance of getting it right. So you can't say that I am wrong.

Anyang smiled bitterly: You have 4 in 100 chances of picking the correct rune. And you have also 1 in 5 chances of arranging it correctly. Do you know your odds?

Ji Yuan frowned: 50%?

Anyang: …

Ji Yuan laughed jovially: It is either right or wrong, you know.

He had actually said that as the maths was too mind blogging for him to count.

Ji Yuan said to Anyang and Xiang Li: Don't worry about this. Sooner or later, I will gain an insight and will figure out the hierographic name.

Xiang Li asked him: How long then? 100 years?

Ji Yuan pretended not to hear Xiang Li.

He didn't even get struck at arranging the correct sequence to the hierographic name but he has got struck in trying to figure out which of the golden runes to use as he needed the imagery of the runes to gain access to the profound array that was within the blue portal.

Ji Yuan muttered to himself: You know. Why made this portal so complicated and set a dumb password to it…

Xiang Li interrupted him: It is to guard against thieves like my Big Brother.

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

The Goddess Destiny had suddenly said to Ji Yuan, "You are still not entering the portal?"

Ji Yuan weakly looked at the Goddess Destiny, "I have barely even started on my insight."

The Goddess Destiny slowly pointed at various directions as she spoke, "This is S. This is A. This is T. And this is N."

The golden runes that she had picked were all weird symbols and she did not pick the circle symbol.

Ji Yuan was startled, "Are you sure about this?"

Destiny smiled, "I am sure about it."

Ji Yuan pretended to put on a straight face as he said, "That is exactly the same sentiments that I have. I have picked the same exact golden runes too. It is just that I am trying to confirm if these golden runes are the correct ones. Now that you have said it, it double confirms my doubts. We really think alike. Hahaha…"

Anyang, Xiang Li: …

The Goddess Destiny smiled with a shy look at him, "That is… good that we are able to think alike. So, we can enter the portal now?"

Ji Yuan laughed awkwardly, "Of course! Let's go inside now!"

But secretly, he was smiling bitterly because he had not figure out the sequence to the hierographic runes yet.
