Chapter 275

With that, Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong once again devoted himself heart and soul to the effort of carving the fifth and sixth basic elemental runes. As expected, the time consumed while carving these two runes was no longer six hours and five minutes, but six hours and ten minutes, and the mental energy consumed also increased by another 5%. It no longer took only five minutes of cultivation to replenish his mental energy after carving the fifth and sixth runes; he now required ten minutes to fully restore it. Of course, as Hua Tianxiong mastered the fifth and sixth basic elemental runes, it took eight rounds of practice before he could bring the consumed mental energy and the time spent back to the previous normal state—that is, a carving time of six hours, with five minutes needed to restore his mental energy to its peak state afterward. He felt as though his ability to carve talismans was improving rapidly, and the boost to his mental energy from practicing the Concentration Formula was particularly encouraging. He realized these were insights not found in Elder Xuan's metallurgical knowledge; they were things Hua Tianxiong had to experience and perceive for himself through the act of forging.
