Chapter 500 - 500: Refining

After looking for a moment, Riya shook her head.

"It's not good enough, Ruben."

"Eh?" Ruben wilted when he heard Riya's evaluation.

"I don't say that the runes are not bad, but for the runes that's closer to the peak of rank 2, your control over your mana is still not enough," Riya replied.

Ruben could only nod weakly and he felt a bit frustrated.

He felt that his progress was really slow.

To be honest, Ruben was already at the forefront among many rune master in the Green Planet. Because of the fact that rune master required high talent in runes, the number of people who practiced to become rune master was really limited.

Most of these people were also under the direct order of the government with each and every single one of them had strict requirement.

Every single day, they have to practice making the runes and so on.

But it was also because of this that they were able to become proficient. Even if their talent was not that high, under such rigorous training, it was not that bad.

But the problem was that they didn't have systematic and targeted teaching like Ruben. So even if some of them have similar talent with Ruben, their progress was still slower than him.

The runes that Riya handed over to the government and they tried to imitate were all below rank 2 and only a few were of rank 2.

She had no intention of handing over everything and the government also understood.

As for Riya being biased to Ruben… seaʀᴄh thё NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

They felt that it was normal.

If it was them, they would also only taught most things they have learned to their direct disciples and not to everyone whom they knew.

For this kind of thing, no one could say anything.

Everyone had their own selfishness and as long as it didn't affect them that much, they didn't mind. Besides, the progress of their rune masters were indeed very slow.

After one year, the number of rune masters who could easily make runes were very limited.

These rune masters who were under the government also had to work for them and produced a set amount of magic scrolls every day. After all, they were specifically cultivated and for the next few years, they could still get priority of resources as long as they handed over their tasks.

The expense to cultivate rune masters were by no means cheap.

Many people were already crying when they saw the large amount of resources that they needed.

"Then…"

"Before I teach you the rank 3 magic scrolls, I want you to start using the rank 3 magic beasts' blood when making formation… Naturally not on this paper but on other surfaces." Riya took out a stack of paper and handed it to Ruben.

"For your practice."

"But this…" Ruben was stunned. He naturally knew that this was paper specifically made for rune masters. The trees have been planted in large scale but not many of them have matured and could be processed to make the paper.

Moreover, only Riya knew how to make it specifically.

The government were itching to know but Riya didn't tell them the exact details and only told them the main materials. Even if they were to make it in accordance to how normal paper was made, the quality ended up varied.

Some of the magicians in the government's side had to regretfully say that some of the papers they tried to make could only be used for rank 1, rank 2, or even rank 3 magic scrolls at most.

It was hard for them to make the higher quality formation paper.

For this, they could easily test it through pouring their mana into the paper and sense the limit.

It didn't need a lot, just a small piece of the corner would be enough.

If they wanted to make the quality higher, they had to rely on Riya's method, but she didn't share it.

So they could only rely on their own experiment.

"Don't worry, this is the failed product." Riya looked at Ruben helplessly. "I made some changes in the processing method since I don't have the equipment. And in the beginning, some papers are not very good."

These paper could only made rank 3 magic scrolls at most.

For Riya, whose most magic scrolls now were of rank 5 and rank 6, these papers were definitely tasteless.

Even if she could still use them, but Riya had no intention to do so.

She felt that it would play its role better in the hands of Ruben.

"Thank you. I'll practice hard." Ruben nodded solemnly.

"And this is the magic beasts' blood of rank 3." Riya handed a bottle to Ruben. "It has been refined and easy to use."

Ruben nodded helplessly.

To be honest, they could directly use the magic beast's blood without refining it first. But at that time, the magic beast's blood contained trace of violent mana, which would make it difficult for them to control.

If their mana control was not good, it was easy to fail when making the formation.

Riya had no problem at all because her mana control was so good. With her practicing over and over again in the past year, her control had gotten even better now.

So she simply used the magic beast's blood directly.

But for other rune masters….

These interferences could easily lead to their failure in making magic scrolls.

So Riya chose to refine the magic beasts' blood first for Ruben.

For the refining method, it was simply to wash these magic beasts' blood with their mana. If possible, it would be better for the magician who washed the magic beasts' blood to have the same element as the magic beasts' blood that they washed.

She didn't keep this method and told this to the government.

But the result was that the government launched special item called beast ink for rune masters to practice.

And the product was bought by many people.

Riya: "…"
