Fire Attribute Talisman Master Inheritance, Runes

Just as Spirit Planter inheritances are divided into various schools, so too do Talisman Master inheritances have many branches.

Essentially, Talisman Masters are categorized by the attributes, functions, and drawing methods of their talismans.

Among these, the talisman's attribute is the most emphasized.

Common, complete Talisman Master inheritances are typically specialized in one attribute.

For those specializing in lightning, the entire inheritance would consist of lightning talismans, covering everything from low-grade Postnatal lightning talismans to mid-grade, then high-grade, and finally supreme-grade Postnatal lightning talismans.

There's a clear and complete connection between lightning talismans of different grades. Mastering a low-grade Postnatal lightning talisman makes learning a mid-grade Postnatal lightning talisman twice as effective!

Furthermore, a complete set of lightning talismans would include various types for speed increase, defense, and attack.

However, this type of Talisman Master inheritance has a drawback.

While specialized Talisman Master inheritances are orderly, easy to grasp, and possess talismans with multiple functions, specializing in one attribute easily leads to encountering situations beyond one's capabilities.

Taking lightning talismans as an example.

If a situation requiring rain occurs, having a large number of lightning talismans would be useless.

Therefore, most Talisman Masters who can afford it will, while mastering a complete Talisman Master inheritance, also learn some talismans of other attributes.

This requires time, energy, talent, and sufficient spirit stones!

Time, energy, and talent were not obstacles for Zhang Wan, but the lack of sufficient spirit stones made him quite uncomfortable.

His entire fortune amounted to only fifty low-grade spirit stones.

It was impossible for him to master a complete Talisman Master inheritance while also dabbling in talismans of other attributes.

In fact, fifty low-grade spirit stones weren't even enough to acquire a complete Postnatal Talisman Master inheritance!

Even a partial inheritance for an Extreme Spirit Planter that could only cultivate low-grade Postnatal spirit plants cost fifteen low-grade spirit stones. A complete Postnatal inheritance involving supreme-grade Postnatal talismans couldn't possibly cost only fifty low-grade spirit stones.

Inheritances, in general, become more expensive the more profound they are!

Although Zhang Wan had prepared himself before coming, seeing the price of nearly one hundred and thirty low-grade spirit stones still left him feeling helpless.

He had no choice but to abandon the idea of acquiring a complete Postnatal Talisman Master inheritance.

"In reality, most rogue cultivator martial artists are the same; they find it difficult to obtain complete inheritances. Their Talisman Master inheritances are often pieced together from various sources, containing talismans of different attributes, making learning twice as difficult."

"Compared to them, even if I can only acquire a partial inheritance, the parts I obtain are quite complete, and I don't have to piece them together myself."

After a moment of thought, Zhang Wan exchanged fifty low-grade spirit stones and most of the low-grade Postnatal spirit items he possessed for a partial fire-attribute Postnatal Talisman Master inheritance.

The Wu Family had the complete version of this inheritance, but Zhang Wan's spirit stones were insufficient, so he could only obtain a portion.

Zhang Wan was reasonably satisfied.

Although it was incomplete, lacking the part for supreme-grade Postnatal talismans, the complete inheritance for low, mid, and high-grade Postnatal talismans was sufficient for him at the moment.

He would find a way to obtain the subsequent inheritance in the future.

After the transaction, Zhang Wan took the inheritance and left, with no intention of lingering.

Elder Wu had passed away, and it was a time of unrest.

If the inheritance hadn't been so tempting, Zhang Wan wouldn't have come.

Now that he had what he came for, there was no need to stay any longer.

After leaving Fengliu Commandery, Zhang Wan hurried towards the Beginner Martial Arts Academy. Upon reaching the vicinity of the academy, he found a place to remove his disguise and smoothly returned to his small courtyard.

Normally, Zhang Wan wouldn't worry about his safety when he was out.

Fengliu Commandery was located in the central region of the Jade Bone Sect's territory, where rogue cultivators and robber cultivators rarely dared to cause trouble.

However, with Elder Wu's passing, there was no longer a Prenatal expert guarding this area on behalf of the Jade Bone Sect.

Before the Jade Bone Sect could send a new Prenatal expert, the public order in Fengliu Commandery was bound to deteriorate.

Not to mention the rogue cultivators who heard of Elder Wu's passing and wanted to see if there were any opportunities to be had, even martial artists who had past conflicts with the Wu Family would cause a period of chaos in Fengliu Commandery.

Furthermore, it wasn't just external martial artists in conflict with the Wu Family; even within the Jade Bone Sect, someone might secretly be plotting something.

Greed stirred the heart.

Even fellow disciples couldn't be trusted.

At such a time, only staying within the academy was truly safe.

As long as one didn't want to completely offend the Jade Bone Sect, no one would easily attack the academy. Moreover, the dean and the three vice deans were all veteran Postnatal cultivators at the Seventh Level Postnatal or above, along with a large number of instructor martial masters, making it unlikely for ordinary martial artists to attack the academy.

Of course, Zhang Wan wasn't afraid.

If he truly encountered an unforeseen situation.

He could simply add points on the spot!

Tens of thousands of EXP could easily cause his strength to surge.

However, he didn't want to do so unless absolutely necessary, as the hidden dangers were too great.

Once used, he couldn't return to the Jade Bone Sect; packing up and fleeing to the ends of the earth would be the best option.

Furthermore, without subsequent cultivation techniques, merely increasing his realm and cultivation would make him a hollow shell. The cost of deducing subsequent cultivation techniques and martial skills was too high.

Zhang Wan didn't want to deduce the subsequent inheritances himself unless absolutely necessary. Finding a way to obtain them from the sect was the best option – milking the sect for all it was worth!

After checking the low-grade Postnatal spirit plants he had planted and confirming there were no issues, Zhang Wan took out the Talisman Master inheritance and began to examine its contents.

The inheritance was divided into two parts.

One part was the fire attribute basic runes, and the other was talismans composed of fire attribute basic runes.

Runes were characters with power, but simply copying them rendered them inert, devoid of any strength. They only gained power when drawn with mana.

A single rune possessed extremely weak power. Only by combining them to form more complex talismans could they possess extraordinary power capable of threatening a martial artist!

This wasn't just for forming talismans.

Runes were also the foundation for the two cultivation arts of artifact refining and formations.

Mastering runes would make it much easier to study artifact refining and formations in the future.

Although the runes required for drawing talismans differed from those needed for artifact refining and formations, they were all still runes. Mastering some would make it much easier to learn the others.

"A major reason why Talisman Master inheritances pieced together by rogue cultivators are so difficult to learn is that they collect complete talismans but not all the corresponding runes."

"Without a foundation, directly learning the final form of a talisman naturally makes it difficult to master."

"Furthermore, there's little connection between the talismans, making it even harder to learn."

"For someone like me, who has a relatively complete inheritance, learning is much easier."

Zhang Wan quickly browsed through the inheritance.

There were over three hundred fire attribute basic runes in total, and over a hundred fire attribute talismans.

For low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade Postnatal talismans, there were more than thirty of each grade, and they were organized in a sequential manner.

Taking the most common Fireball Talisman as an example.

The inheritance included the low-grade Postnatal Fireball Talisman, the mid-grade Postnatal Fireball Talisman, and the high-grade Postnatal Fireball Talisman.

After mastering the low-grade Postnatal Fireball Talisman, it was easy to master the next stage of the Fireball Talisman in the inheritance.
