The whole s.p.a.ce was so quiet, it was as if he was sleeping.

He remembered that Shen Linger was really far from him, and now that she suddenly appeared by his side, it should be someone that did something. He thought about that mysterious person, it must be her.

Seeing Shen Linger like this, he was unable to wake up even after a while, so he continued to study the rune engraving arts, "Eh?"

Before he even started, he let out a surprised cry. He discovered that the spiritual energy in his dantian had completely recovered, and the degree of refinement was completely different from before.

From the looks of it, he would be able to break through the Martial King Stage in less than half a month.

The amount of spiritual energy needed for his breakthrough was terrifying, he still had two pieces of Black Mandara Flower petals, he did not know if they were enough for the wind-thunder beast to use, but he could only give them to himself now.

He did not dare to squander any more Spirit Herb s. As an alchemist, he knew that it would be a huge waste.

However, he didn"t know if ordinary pills would be effective on him. If he didn"t make sufficient preparations at that time, it was very likely that all his efforts would be for naught.

"That"s right, I can inscribe symbols on the Martial King Pill to increase its medicinal strength. That"s right, let"s do it!" Shen Longxuan was overjoyed.

The Rune Inscriptionist was different from the other professions. It was divided into yellow rank, Profound Rank s, Earth Rank and Heavenly Rank from the bottom to the top, and every first rank was divided into three ranks. From the first rank to the third rank, one could inscribe runes, and that was a first rank yellow rank Rune Inscriptionist.

The second stage Rune Inscriptionist s from the fourth stage to the sixth stage, the third stage Rune Inscriptionist s from the seventh stage to the ninth stage, and the first stage Rune Inscriptionist s from the tenth stage to the twelfth stage of the Profound Rank.

Furthermore, if one wanted to inscribe runes, they would need a large amount of materials of the five elements. They would need to set up a five element array formation to ensure that the spirit energy around them was balanced and then absorbed into the body.

This was just the first step, and also the most expensive step. All the materials used in the five elements category were extremely expensive, so Rune Inscriptionist needed more financial support.

The second step was to compress the condensed runes with his own spiritual energy, moving it from his meridians to his palm and forming a real rune.

This step seemed simple, but it was actually several times more difficult than the first step. First of all, he had to ensure the integrity of the rune and also maintain the stability of the rune.

The third step was to activate the rune, also known as the Spirit Enlightenment. This step was the most difficult step. One needed to completely imprint the rune onto the inscription, and then activate it with soul force.

Shen Longxuan was familiarizing himself with every step of the rune engraving arts in his mind, and he unconsciously revealed a smile on the corner of his mouth, because he was a body of five elements and the spirit energy in his body was a Five Elements Spiritual Strength, so the first and second steps were completely not a problem for him.

The most important thing was that he took the third step and his own soul force was many times stronger than ordinary people, so he was very confident in the rune engraving arts.

With that in mind, he took out an ordinary long blade spirit artifact and placed it in front of him. Then, he closed his eyes and started to draw runes with the Five Elements Spiritual Strength in his dantian.

He had really underestimated the devouring power of this tiny Rank 1 Symbol. Only half of it had already consumed a third of his spiritual energy.

He could feel that although he was drawing runes in his dantian, the energy of heaven and earth was being imperceptibly drawn. Every time he drew a line, he felt a ma.s.sive force pressing down on his body.

When he finished drawing, two-thirds of the time, Shen Longxuan spat out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, it was as if he was carrying a huge mountain on his back, pressuring him to the point where he couldn"t even breathe.

If he were to continue writing, he didn"t know what would happen. He didn"t know if he would be crushed to death!

I can"t give up!

If I don"t use my good conditions, I will definitely be laughed out of my teeth by other Rune Inscriptionist!

I"m already at the starting line. I can only be more successful than others. How can I be scared by such a difficult situation?

Shen Longxuan seemed to have decided on something, the tenacity in his heart activated once again. Cultivating was already a heaven-defying thing, what"s more this kind of thing that would steal away the heaven and earth.

"If the heavens want to stop me, I will go against the heavens!"

Shen Longxuan shouted angrily in his heart. Suddenly, the golden dragon scale"s body covered his entire body, helping him to withstand the pressure from the heaven and earth. He gritted his teeth, and his entire body trembled as he drew runes. Symbols appeared!

Buzz …

A joyous hum sounded out from within his dantian, as if celebrating the birth of a new life. Even the world around him began to ripple, and that terrifying pressure disappeared!

Puff!

With his mind relaxed, Shen Longxuan once again spat out a mouthful of blood. With the completion of the first step, he compressed the runes in his dantian to an extremely small amount, almost turning him into a speck of light, which was transported through his meridians to his right palm.

The moment the rune appeared, he felt his entire right hand become as heavy as a mountain, following that, he suddenly raised his right palm and pressed it on top of the long blade he had prepared.

The next moment, he seemed to see countless dark tadpoles floating before his eyes. The moment his soul force arrived, these tadpoles suddenly shone with dazzling Golden Light, but they immediately dimmed and collapsed.

Failure!

Shen Longxuan looked at the long blade in his hands, and saw that they were all broken into pieces and completely destroyed.

He did not get angry from his failure. First, he threw a handful of Returning Essence Pills into his mouth to recover his spirit energy. His gigantic dantian could only eat pills like this, and it was all thanks to his strong body.

Feeling the recovered spirit energy in his dantian, he started to carefully think about every step he had taken. Gradually, Shen Longxuan entered into a state where he forgot everything else.

In his mind, there were only runes. One day, two days, ten days later …

He already had more than a hundred broken spirit artifacts by his side. These were all the consequences of failure. Although his heart ached, he still had to pay a price if he wanted to succeed.

"Hahaha …"

On the fifteenth day, Shen Longxuan laughed crazily with a sword. It was really not easy, he finally succeeded!

The sword in his hand didn"t look any different. When he channeled his spiritual energy, golden tadpole runes would appear on it. The runes would move around the sword"s body and release a powerful aura.

This was only an ordinary low-grade spiritual energy, but the power it displayed right now was comparable to a mid-grade spiritual energy. Furthermore, it could imperceptibly draw upon the might of heaven and earth, making it even more powerful.

"If a rank 1 rune is already so powerful, then what would happen if it is at rank 2 or even higher levels?" Shen Longxuan"s eyes shone as he looked at the Spirit Treasure.

"It"s already been half a month, why hasn"t he woken up yet?" He saw that Shen Linger was still cultivating and said softly.

Furthermore, he could feel that the aura around Shen Linger"s body was becoming stronger by the second. He knew that she was fusing with the inheritance so he didn"t disturb her and started to recover his spirit energy.

"Ha, I never thought that using spiritual power for half a month would allow one"s spiritual energy to be perfectly tempered." He carefully experienced and understood that he could break through the Martial King Stage at any time.

Moreover, as he became more and more proficient, the spirit energy in his dantian was able to draw two runes consecutively, but no matter what, he could not draw a second rank rune.

Perhaps it was because his cultivation was insufficient or his spiritual energy could not satisfy the need to draw a second rank rune, but no matter what, he was now a true first grade yellow rank inscription master.
