Chapter 310: Inscriptions, Talismans, and Armament

Xiao Bao looked at the regretful expression on Bai Rouyun's face, and his lips twitched slightly. Although he might be able to find any gem or ore she was looking for, he did not wish to let her become complacent, so he began to explain the second layer instead.

"As you can see, countless treasures are right in front of you. These are mainly used for armament crafting, but a few can be combined with the herbs from the first layer and can be made into talisman and inscription ink.

"Inscriptions are those that are inscribed on weapons and armor. They are very beneficial for adding extra abilities to treasures, while talismans are papers with runes that can be activated and tossed into the air to unleash an attack.

"Both professions are considered useful, and while they will take some time to master, the benefits they bring cannot be ignored.

"Talismans are runes that store energy within, and depending on the rune used; it will react differently when activated.

"Some of them can burst with an elemental energy, such as a fireball, or a lightning strike, but others might be able to create a shield of energy to protect the user. They can be used for protection and attack, and they can also be used to ambush or escape.

"The talismans are almost impossible to live without when adventuring, as they can save your life in many ways.

"At the same time, armaments are also important. The current Chaos Primal Pagoda is also an armament that was meant to be a defensive treasure, but its rank is so high that it is hard to recreate.

"The most commonly made items would be weapons and armor, which can protect and assist their user in battles."

Xiao Bao was calmly explaining the many benefits of the three professions that could be practiced with the resources present on this second floor.

Bai Rouyun was already eager to learn the many different professions that Xiao Bao mentioned, but she also understood that since she was going to attempt more than one at a time, she had to be more careful and patient.

"But, mother, you have to remember that when practicing new professions, you will need many of the same kind of treasure. Although this mine is nearly endless, the gems and ores do not get recreated as soon as you take one away.

"As you can see, many different ores and gems are everywhere, but it also means that if you need one specific kind, you might have to spend a lot of time hunting down enough of the said mineral. This is also a test of your will-power to see if you are willing to spend the time needed for preparation before you can delve into the more fun part of training."

Xiao Bao was saying this intentionally. As he had already said before, he was the spirit in charge of the Primal Chaos Dimension. If he wished, all the treasures would leave the mine and pile up into a mountain in front of them, but he was also very familiar with Bai Rouyun's personality.

While Bai Rouyun was truly a good person, she could also be considered easily lazy. If she wanted to do something, she would truly try her best, but it was not often she could become serious enough about anything.

This was why Xiao Bao wanted her to find the ores and gems herself. She had to do some work before she could benefit. At least this was the excuse he told himself as he tried to bury the secret grudge about being left alone for so many years.

He was indeed happy to have her back, in fact, he felt much more alive than ever before, but now that his pillar of strength had returned, he also began to feel aggravated. The weakness that he had forcefully pushed down was slowly beginning to emerge as he wanted to rely on Bai Rouyun and be spoiled like a small child by his mother.

"It's okay. I have to work hard so that I can become a role model for my children. Also, if I manage to succeed in becoming proficient in all these different professions, then I will have other great means of earning the money we need to live."

Bai Rouyun was indeed happy about being able to delve into these professions for the sake of being able to learn new things. The many things she would learn how to create could help her and her children in the future when they encountered dangers, but it could also be used as a means to earn money to pay for more resources.

Even if she had the Primal Chaos Dimension, she knew that she could not get everything she needed from here, but she could always use this amazing dimension to build the foundations of her wealth.

"Mother, do you think that we can learn alongside you?" Jiaojiao looked around, and her eyes were sparkling. She could remember how the cultivators with talents for certain professions were much more well-liked in the family as they could bring fortune and benefits to their home.

She, too, wished to be able to help Bai Rouyun. She wanted to be a person that could depend on herself, but also take care of, and repay, those whom she loved. She no longer wished to be useless and depend on others for the sake of survival. She wanted to change her fate and accept the new chance of life that Bai Rouyun had given her.
