Eternal Thief

Chapter 1175  Limit Talisman: Life Star

Ace then quickly voiced out around fifty Ascension Grade-1 materials. Although there were many, for a clan like Weston Clan and a sect elder like Dewey, they were nothing.

Furthermore, the materials were quite easy to find, considering their rarity, and even Ace had tonnes of high-grade materials in Moon Fiend King's storage ring. Still, he didn't dare to take them out since they would be conspicuous in many ways.

The materials were quickly fetched under Lloyd's order, and he insisted on providing every one of them. He didn't let Elder Dewey take out anything himself, to which Elder Dewey didn't say anything and let Lloyd do as he pleased.

All Elder Dewey cared about was watching George rune crafting, and he was quite curious about what he would make. After all, like Spirit Forging, Spirit Rune Crafting has different specialties like talismans, arrays, and formations.

However, with the amount of materials George asked for, Elder Dewey mused that he was making a talisman or an array since a formation required way more materials.

Once the materials arrived, Ace sprang into action, and using the same method, Chuchu's spirit fire, and his Qi, he started the purifying process on all the herbs, leaving behind only a 4-Star Ascension Solider grade beast core of wood affinity alone. The refinement process goes smoothly now that Ace is somewhat familiar with it, and since it is his own territory of rune crafting, he is way more relaxed. This directly affects his speed, making the audience secretly shocked by the young man's efficiency. It was quite clear that he was way more familiar with rune crafting than forging.

Once the purification and refinement process was done, Ace was left with glistering colorful liquids and some powders as he quickly started the mixing process.

"Although I'm not familiar with Spirit Rune Crafting, I'm sure what this boy is currently doing is nothing but normal. Do you think he can match those geniuses in the Yin-Yang Formation Domain?" Elder Homer solemnly inquired through spirit transmission.

Elder Dewey replied with uncertainty, "I don't know for sure, but I have once seen an Elder of Yin-Yang Formation Guardian Sect using his technique to craft a Limit Talisman, and his refinement process was nothing like George, and he was somewhat…slow.

"If I hadn't seen his forging process myself, I would've thought George was a spy sent here to poach our secret techniques. But now, I don't think so since those arrogantly greedy bastards aren't foolish enough to send a dual-runic talent here to be a spy.

"From what I could tell, George isn't using any secret techniques at all and using most ordinary and primitive methods for refinement. You can say that he's only using the very foundation of all those fancy techniques that let him achieve these results without wasting any materials or time.

"Furthermore, the difference is even more apparent in his rune crafting. I wonder where the Violet Yang Grand Sect even found him and why they didn't directly bring him here to claim the credit?"

Elder Homer slightly nodded, "I'm also wondering about this; it's too strange. Furthermore, don't forget about his uncanny thieving abilities and those marks. I've personally examined that so-called curse mark of that owl, and I can't do anything about it.

"This boy is cunning and decisive while he also isn't afraid of trouble. Maybe he was hiding his true abilities from even his own sect because of potential enemies. There is also a massive chance that he has acquired some secret inheritance. "Once his talent was shown to the sect, they will naturally launch a massive investigation on his background. But there will be more greedy bastards coming after him.

"Just as you said, the Yin-Yang Formation Guardian Sect is a den of arrogant and greedy bastards; our sect is no different. Once they suspect the involvement of an inheritance, they will start scheming against the boy. Although he would be safe in the sect since no one could harm him openly, I couldn't say the same once he was sent out.

"Don't forget what happened to John. The four main clans would never let some outsider rattle their absolute authority. He's either with them or against them." Elder Homer's expression was grim as he said those things, which he didn't dare say normally, but George had really moved him. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Elder Dewey's expression also turned gloomy, "Even if he submits to them, he can only choose one, and the other three will still be his enemy, even more so since they won't let anyone else acquire a dual runic talent.

"After all, once this fact was out, he'd be eligible to fight for the Artifact Guardian Master position. The Guardian Spirit would only choose a Dual Runic Talent for Artifact Guardian Master, and that's the only reason the Junior Artifact Guardian Master position has always been empty!"

Elder Homer sighed as he knew this matter was too complex, and earlier, they had forgotten about them in their excitement. They were both loyal to the AIG Sect and always wanted what was best for it, and George was absolutely best for the sect.

But they know that corruption in the sect was simply too deeply rooted, and George was a tiebreaker, an anomaly the four clans would do anything to either rope in or eliminate before someone else acquired him.

Their thought process was disrupted by sudden blinding light at this moment as George had already concocted the emerald color runic ink, and a golden brush had appeared in his hand.

At this moment, Ace gracefully swayed the golden Rune Brush, and the ink suddenly parted into multiple fine fibers and started to connect with the brush hairs. He then looked towards the corporeal beast's core, which was like a star, and started to move the tip of the brush on the beast's core.

Glowing runes started to appear under Ace's grace moments as his strokes were precise and decisive without any doubt or hesitation, and the ink slowly started to wane. Within seconds, the beast's core was filled with tiny rune strings, and Ace felt that strange state of mind again at this moment. But the moment he stopped, it started to slip away again.

Ace didn't wait to comprehend it as he felt it wasn't like the law comprehension and quickly formed hand seals. The runes on the beast cores lit up, and an aura rich in wood law started to fill the entire workshop.

The beast core, at this moment, seemed to have turned ethereal, and Ace quickly took out a pendant. With a thought, he guided the ethereal beast core toward the pendant.

The moment it touched the pendant, it started to integrate into the white gem before it completely vanished. Now the white gem was emerald, and there was a single runic symbol within the gem, like a star.

Ace sighed in relief with clear excitement in his eyes as he presented the pedant in front of everyone, "This is an Upper Ascension Grade-1 Limit Talisman: Life Star that can be used to instantly heal 60% of any law-inflicted wounds, whether internal or outer for five times. Even an Ascension Warrior can use it. Please inspect it, Lord Elder!"
