Dual Cultivation: Beasts and Women!

Chapter 62: The Cost of the Profession

Runemasters were professionals who used their knowledge regarding the Universal Language to manipulate mana and the laws of Twin Lands. That was the foundation of the profession. But to create lasting artifacts, runes alone were not enough. They needed materials and artifacts, but not only that, they needed tools to use the Universal Language to their advantage.Historically, the profession of Runemasters was born when scholars began to specialize in the art of inscribing runes. They developed methods to improve the efficiency of their work and created artifacts for general use.

Before that, the use of runes was more associated with spells, rituals, and other phenomena that would dissipate and lose their effects once the cultivator stopped pouring mana into the runes.

Liam had seen this himself. The ritual used by the demon incubus was based on runes and the manipulation of the laws of the world by someone with the knowledge and skills of a Sorcerer. He still didn't understand everything about that day and his relationship with the incubus, but he already knew about the relationship between runes and the world of cultivation.

All kinds of professionals, Spirit Masters, beasts, and magical beings, they all used runes in one way or another. But those who created permanent artifacts with fantastic effects were known as Runemasters.

Someone who could use runes to create spells and curses could be called a Sorcerer. Someone who could use runes to heal injuries and diseases was called a Healer. In short, there were many variations in using runes and mana, and how those who could use them were called.

But Runemasters, in particular, had developed several tools and methods to ensure that their work could be used repeatedly after they had finished inscribing runes.

It wasn't interesting that an item like a lamp required the Spirit Master to give away their own mana and go to the trouble of creating runes every time they wanted light.

To ensure that their artifacts would last a long time, Runemasters used special brushes and inks to inscribe their runes, as well as materials that could hold mana and various types of magical elements.

Upon entering this shop, a place that looked like a grocery store with several shelves and items on display, with signs showing their prices, Liam sighed when he saw the price of some materials.

Liam looked at the entrance to the Library and followed the students going in and out.

He went straight to the entrance to level two, not bothering to pay 10 merit points to enter the area ahead.

As Ann had said, there were several techniques that could hide a Spirit Master's cultivation. Liam would choose five of them to analyze before choosing the one he would take the copy of to study.

Eager to learn one of them as soon as possible, he was already planning to go to the Lotus Temple to train in his chosen technique when he left the Library!
