Chapter 757: Chapter 754: Hidden Gate Talisman Master!_1

Zhou Chenglong ran away.

Ren Feifan noticed that Zhou Chenglong’s presence was almost non-existent within a ten-mile radius.

Even if it was present, it was extremely faint.

Without a doubt, he must’ve left a long time ago.

He had been focusing on Liu Hui which caused him to overlook Zhou Chenglong, but no matter, the person before him would surely inform him about Zhou’s whereabouts.

Ren Feifan picked up Liu Hui and said coldly, "Answer my question, where did Zhou Chenglong go? If I am satisfied, I may let you live... otherwise, I assure you, your death will be miserable."

Liu Hui was still in a frenzy, he didn’t think that Ren Feifan would dare to lay a hand on him.

A common man would never dare to harm a powerhouse of the Hidden Gate, let alone kill him.

He wanted to spit blood on Ren Feifan’s face to humiliate him!

But before he had the chance, his intention was instantly detected by Ren Feifan. Without any hesitation, Ren Feifan punched him square in the mouth, causing Liu Hui’s lips to swell instantly, even shattering his teeth.

He was now speaking through clenched teeth.

"Don’t bother resisting, I don’t want to repeat my question again."

Ren Feifan pulled out a silver needle and with True Qi converging, he inserted it into Liu Hui’s body. Liu Hui felt something was weird with his body. Quickly, he felt as if his body was being torn apart by thousands of ants.

The pain was unbearable.

He tried to grit his teeth and bear it, but soon found out that it was in vain.

His body just couldn’t withstand the sensation. Anyone under the same circumstances would have had the same reaction.

"I’ll talk....I’ll talk! Zhou Chenglong is possibly in the Magnolia Villa 17 in Lin City. That’s also our lab in Lin City. We came out from the Hidden Gate to retrieve some data and equipment. Zhou Chenglong is most likely to appear there."

Ren Feifan nodded, drove with Liu Hui to the so-called Magnolia Villa 17, only to find out that the place was already empty.

Liu Hui was shocked, "Zhou Chenglong must have gone back to the Qingcheng Sect, I’ll take you to the Outer Hidden Qingcheng Sect. I’ll have the Sect Leader personally hand him over!"

Ren Feifan sneered internally, taking him to the Hidden Gate, and have the Sect Leader of the Qingcheng Sect personally hand over Zhou Chenglong?

Did he think Ren was a fool?

It might be the case that before he even sets foot in the Qingcheng Sect, he might be assassinated by a master from the Outer Hidden Gate.

Since Zhou Chenglong had run away, this person was of no use anymore.

A cold intent surfaced in Ren Feifan’s mind, and the Holy Abyss Sword appeared in his hand. He was ready to end this man’s life for good.

But just as Ren Feifan was about to strike, Liu Hui panicked.

"Don’t kill me, I....I can teach you how to make runes! It’s a lost art! Trust me! It’s crucial for your strength!"

Liu Hui said with a quiver in his voice.

Ren Feifan’s eyes narrowed and he loosened his grip on the Holy Abyss Sword.

Indeed, his lineage did not have much on the creation of runes, presumably, his ancestors saw it as insignificant.

But Ren Feifan realized during his recent battle with Liu Hui that if played right, runes could be invincible at times.

Making runes, he could try that.

"Alright, I’m giving you one last chance. Whether you live or die depends on your performance. If you dare hold anything back, I promise you, your death will be miserable," threatened Ren Feifan.

At that moment, Ren Feifan was looking at Liu Hui with great interest. Even though the Hidden Sect Talisman Master didn’t want to do it, he had no other choice.

Starting with the basics of being a Talisman Master, up to the secret method for creating talismans, Liu Hui had to teach all of it in detail to the man before him.

After ten minutes, Ren Feifan completely understood the concept of "Runes".

The profession of a rune master not only requires one’s strength as support but also an exceptionally harsh demands in terms of mental strength. Therefore, it is considered a scarce profession in this world.

Rune masters are categorized into nine seals. The first is the lowest and the highest being the ninth seal Spirit Talisman Master. Of course, there might be stronger ones, but Liu Hui does not know of them.

Generally speaking, even the first seal rune master requires one to reach the peak of the Earth-level Realm.

After the fifth seal rune master, they are called Spirit Talisman Masters. Spirit Talisman Masters rarely appear in Huaxia. Even the Outer Hidden Gate doesn’t have many. Only the Inner Hidden Gate has these talents.

Such powerhouses can move mountains and overturn seas with a thought. When dealing with opponents, they can move a mountain with their mind.

Once they accomplish the level of a Spirit Talisman Master, they can form an inscribing seal in their body. This inscribing seal is different from traditional ones as it has spiritual nature.

Higher ranked Spirit Talisman Masters can then convert that internal inscription seal into a separate part of themselves, which might be stronger than their original self. This is one of the things that the ancient powerhouses dreaded.

"Have you ever seen a Spirit Talisman Master?" Ren Feifan asked curiously.

When Liu Hui heard this, he proudly said, "My master is a Sixth-seal Rune Master. Many in the Hidden Gate would take a detour upon seeing my master!"

Ren Feifan responded unimpressed, "That is your master’s business, not yours. Are you saying that Qingcheng Sect has a Spirit Talisman Master?"

Liu Hui nodded, "Yes."

...

Rune creation was, in itself, a practice that exhausted mental strength. Liu Hui was guiding him on the side. Although he failed multiple times, little by little, Ren Feifan started to understand the art of creating runes. He put great emphasis on the focus of mental strength and the control of the power within his body.

Ren Feifan was quite sensitive to his internal Nine Yang True Qi. Nine Yang True Qi, unlike ordinary True Qi, is a very special existence. Through numerous breakthroughs, Ren Feifan had an in-depth understanding of it, but in the art of Rune creation, he was a novice.

One time, two times, the Rune paper in his hands turned dim. Ren Feifan began to research his mistakes and continuously looked for improvements.

Liu Hui was watching on the side but didn’t point out anything in particular. Rune creation didn’t depend on the teacher, but on talent.

If it weren’t for saving his own life, he wouldn’t bother teaching this insignificant person.

Even if he gave this man the entire theoretical foundation, what was the use? The talent required for rune creation was extremely high. Even if he gave this man a hundred years, he probably wouldn’t achieve what he had.

His failures in the beginning proved this. When he first started, he failed thirty-seven times before crafting a semi-finished rune.

His master had to try around twenty times before succeeding.

Liu Hui estimated that the man in front of him would need a few thousand attempts to succeed.

Initially, Liu Hui thought of Ren Feifan as average, but as time passed, he was increasingly astonished.

Something was wrong.

Because on his third and fourth attempt, Ren Feifan’s runes started to glow. This was an important condition for success!

On the sixth attempt, the rather dull rune paper started to flash with flowing light. This was clearly a successful Rune creation attempt, not a semi-finished product!

Liu Hui took a whole month, full of trial and error, to create a first-level rune. It was a mediocre talent.
