Chapter 18

Although it seems so simple, this kind of work is not something an ordinary person can accomplish. Engraving scrolls not only requires magical power, but also demands extreme precision regarding where more or less magic should be infused. It’s not just a matter of copying the patterns on the magic scroll to succeed.

Otherwise, the success rate for mages engraving magic scrolls wouldn’t be so low.

Level-one magic scrolls are naturally not Thunder’s goal, but level-one scrolls can help Thunder become proficient in engraving scrolls in this world, and also train the Celestial Master’s Eye.

Water Arrow, Wind Blade, Lightning Strike, Earth Spike... Each time Thunder spread out a scroll, he would first use the Celestial Master’s Eye to carefully examine it before copying it.

He engraved two copies of each type of magic scroll, even those of level two were no exception.

After finishing all this, Thunder couldn’t wait to take a large pile of talismans and head outside.

Thunder was excited; this was just an experiment, but if it succeeded, his path in this world would become much smoother.

Arriving in the courtyard, Thunder took a deep breath, then tore open a Fireball Talisman and aimed it at a stone in front of him.

With a “whoosh,” the air seemed to heat up, and a ball of fire suddenly shot out, striking the stone and scattering sparks everywhere.

“Haha.” Thunder laughed heartily; the experiment’s success made him overjoyed.

Suppressing his excitement, Thunder guided his internal magic to activate another Fireball Talisman using the talisman-controlling technique.

It went smoothly again, but compared to the previous fireball, this one seemed a bit larger and hotter. This was the difference between the two release methods. The latter clearly allowed the Fireball Spell to unleash greater power.

The commotion from the magic drew all the servants over. Watching the wind howl, lightning flash, and water arrows shoot in the courtyard, the servants’ mouths hung open in shock.

Carlos’s eyes were even wider, his face full of disbelief.

An all-element mage? Carlos thought this world was insane! A mage could usually only master two types of magic at most, but this man in front of him... fire, wind, water, lightning, earth—he had practically covered half the magical elements of the continent.

There were four talismans left. Thunder scattered them all at once, performing the “Blossoms in the Sky” technique from the Dragon Tiger Sect’s talisman arts. The interlacing magic was dazzling and magnificent.

The scene before them gradually calmed down. A guard dropped his tool, which landed on his foot, causing him to cry out.

“Eat lunch on your own, don’t bother me.” Thunder glanced at everyone, said this, and quickly slipped back into his room.

After engraving so many scrolls, his internal magic was already depleted. The magic used to activate the talismans was the last bit Thunder had left; he now urgently needed to recover.

Closing the door, Thunder sat cross-legged on the bed and began absorbing the surrounding magical elements using the Dragon Tiger Sect’s cultivation method.

Fast! It was several times faster than before—not only because of the abundant spiritual energy in this world, but also due to the great effect of the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl in his body.

One major function of the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl is to gather the surrounding spiritual energy for the user. In other words, even if Thunder didn’t cultivate, magical elements would continuously flow into him. But once he started cultivating, the effect was even more pronounced.

Having gained a preliminary understanding of this world’s magic scrolls, Thunder felt that with his current magical reserves and strength, he could fully engrave a level-six magic scroll. In other words, his internal magic had already reached the level of a high-level mage.

To engrave even higher-level scrolls or talismans, he would have to keep cultivating, increasing both the quantity and quality of his internal magic.

Although, due to the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl and his own constitution, no matter how smoothly he cultivated, the spiritual energy would always be converted into magic power, but this situation was already countless times better than back on Dragon Tiger Mountain.

At the very least, Thunder was now very satisfied with the abundance of spiritual energy in this world.

Since it’s all engraving, what’s the difference between magic scrolls and talismans? Maybe when his magic reserves reach a certain limit, the heavens will open another door to the supreme path for him!

After an afternoon of cultivation, his internal magic should have fully recovered. When Thunder emerged from his room, the sky was already full of stars. Tiffany was standing at the door, waiting the whole time, her little head nodding as she dozed off.

Silly girl! Thunder sighed, walked over to Tiffany, bent down, and picked her up, preparing to carry her to her room.

The movement woke Tiffany, and in her panic, she began to struggle.

“Don’t move!” Thunder looked down at Tiffany. “If you’re sleepy, why aren’t you sleeping? What if you catch a cold?”

Once she saw who it was, Tiffany finally calmed down, her face burning, her body tense.

“Young master... you haven’t eaten yet.” Tiffany said softly. “Put me down, Tiffany will go prepare food for you.”

“Stop talking nonsense.” Thunder gave Tiffany a light smack on her little bottom, producing a crisp sound.
