Eternal Thief

'So, I can either create one on my own or…' Ace commanded with a hint of excitement, "System open Talisman Section." 

This time the talisman section was opened without any sudden surprises.

===== 

[Talisman Creation Section]

Heavenly Talisman Available: 3 (Tier-1)

Worldly Talisman: Available: 10 (Tier-1)

=====

Ace wasn't surprised by this distribution because he already knew the method of creating these 13 talismans and the more he improved his rune crafting, the more talisman he would unlock in the future. 

Without any further delay he opened the Heavenly Talisman, he wanted to know just what kind of difference this panel made, and he knew he can only create a heavenly talisman with this panel help, or he might suffer another result like his first combination symbol. 

Besides, the heavenly talisman was closely related to his heavenly soul element, meaning, he can only create Heavenly Talismans related to wind whether such a restriction wasn't on the worldly talisman, he can create any element talisman as long as he had the method, structure, and combination of correct symbols.

=====

Ace's scalp tingled the moment he saw materials for three heavenly talismans because just those wind-element demonic beast cores were enough to give him a huge headache, much less those rare herbs and ores. 

A beast core was formed in a demonic beast when it reached the Qi river realm or soul river realm, however, it was extremely rare. The chance of a beast core appearing in a demonic beast was one in a ten thousand! 

Furthermore, he didn't know where to find those wind element beasts. 

Although he knew the materials from the memories he got before he opened the panel, he never expected the system requirements to be the same, and it was even charging him TP! 

He didn't mind paying the system for heavenly talismans since their attacking prowess was quite high, but he didn't know where to find those materials.

With a bitter smile, he opened the Worldly Talisman section to see if there was anything different, or it was also the same.

Ace's eyes suddenly glow like torches when he saw the worldly talisman section and mumbled in excitement, "So, unlike me, the system doesn't need materials for worldly talisman creation. Even though it would cost me Qi stones and TP, it's much better than searching for those materials." 

What Ace doesn't lack were Qi stones and TP at the moment! 

However, his expression suddenly changed when he remembered something he didn't want to and asked while holding his breath while feeling amiss, "Um…system this heavenly rune crafter panel…is active, I mean, I can use it, right?"

"[… NO, Please Upgrade…}"

"FUCK YOU!" Ace didn't let the system even finish before he starts cursing, since he knew the next phase of the system's 'famous sentence'! 

"What the point of unlocking all this if I can't even use the fucking thing!" Ace wanted to strangle someone. 

He finally understood the feeling of possessing a mountain of gold but being too weak to take it! 

"[System has already released the talisman technique information, so the host could make them himself.]" 

"Shut up!" Ace wasn't in the mood for squabbling with the system anymore. 

Even though the system was telling the truth, and he can create those talismans himself, he was missing many materials. 

Furthermore, now that he knew, the system can do the rune crafting for him as long as he raised his rank to higher levels and without failing. He preferred the system. 

However, that upgrade has become the biggest obstacle in his way and he needed to clear it as soon as possible. 

In a sullen mood, Ace looked outside, and it was already getting dark. After cleaning the room, he checked out the Inn and directly moved toward the Pill Mansion. 

'I can't give up on those talismans so easily, and who knows I might find some materials for one or two Worldly Talismans in this city since it's the flame city of alchemy. It would be extremely disappointing if they didn't even have materials for one worldly talisman.'

With some expectant and hope, Ace's walking figure slowly vanished in the streets of Flame City without even a trace of him left.

However, he didn't know someone in the high-level lands has already completed his absorption of memories and experience of his cultivation clone and was just about to head toward middle-level lands!
