Chapter 146 - Illusion Stones Part 2
The man gave Adam a few seconds to digest what he had explained to him, then continued what he was explaining to Adam.
"Just like arrays, which are large scale runes, they can carry out a function that it was imprinted with after being provided energy. Illusion Stones have a special rune that can only be used once. The rune on Illusion Stones are disposable as it makes it easier and cheaper to produce, and although can only be used once, is better for the producer. These runes can be mass-produced and the material they are imprinted on seem ordinary, but are special stones that can store Internal Energy. It requires one to learn and train in Rune Sribing and is a rune that is at quite a high level" continued the girl's guardian.
??The guardian was a man of little words, but Adam was surprised by the explanation that was detailed and explained to Adam most things that he wanted to know about, as the man returned to his silence.
[No wonder cultivators can fight between themselves without alerting or revealing themselves to ordinary people, and this must also be how they hide from the public eye. It works in the same way as my master's Illusion Barrier, but it seems much more intricate. It covers a smaller area and cannot be manipulated and controlled, but it is easier to use and requires less energy. Each Illusion Stone can only be used once, but it is portable, so is not worse than my master's Illusion Array, but also isn't better. My master's Illusion Array can be controlled and changed, while the Illusion Stones can only carry out the rune that they have imprinted on them, which carries out a function that the rune master decided on. They are the same thing, but on different scales and used differently] gathered Adam, who had found another profession to do with cultivation that interested him.
Arrays, Special Weapons, Pills and Runes were the 4 things that Adam had come across that had something to do with cultivation. To produce them, they all required special materials and great skill, but with the system, Adam could increase his mastery with system points and instantly become skilled at them.
For the current moment, he wasn't planning on doing so and was focused on increasing his power, but they were all very useful skills to have and would greatly benefit him.
Adam needed to get out of the situation he was in currently, without making enemies of the Maxwell Family or becoming their lapdog. For the time being, although they were weird individuals, and the girl annoyed him, they hadn't done anything to him and didn't seem to have bad intentions towards him.
As long as they kept it like that, Adam was more than happy to make friends with them and ignore the girl's arrogant and annoying attitude. But if not, Adam didn't really have many options and could only hope for the best.
[It seems to me that Internal Cultivators have the advantage when it comes to items and creating them. Overall, although External Cultivators are more physically powerful, even when Internal Cultivators are reinforcing their bodies, they are more restricted and less capable] gathered Adam.
He was glad that he cultivated both ways at the same time and gained the advantages of both, which covered the disadvantages of both cultivation types, but he was quite sure that if he had to choose between them, he would have chosen Internal Cultivation.
As an early cultivator, it seemed that External Cultivators were much more powerful than Internal Cultivators. However a skilled Internal Cultivator had many more advantages, that could overcome the gap in physical power, and they wouldn't be restricted to arduous training.
Adam was quiet the rest of the way through the restaurant and was deep in thought while he followed them to the front entrance of the restaurant, where there was a car park.
Looking at all the cars, the one that was most likely to be there's was the long blacked-out limousine with tinted windows, and that was to be expected from the billionaire Maxwell Family that owned most things in Brooklyn.
It had no licence plate and Adam assumed that with the wealth and power of the Maxwell Family, it was probably bulletproof.
The guardian got into the front of the car to drive, while the girl got into the back of the large limousine.
Adam didn't enter straight away, and seeing that the girl didn't say anything when he got inside, he relaxed.
While her guardian was driving and couldn't see them, it was a chance for Adam to get to know the girl from the Maxwell Family, that although seemed very arrogant, was yet to harm him in any way.
He didn't really care about her, or at least not yet, but if he could befriend her or benefit from talking to her, then he would be more than willing to do so. She was clearly very knowledgeable about cultivation and seemed powerful and influential, which made her a great friend to have, while Adam was also confident that he had things to offer in that friendship.
"Ugh, I have to share the car with a peasant" commented the girl to herself.
"May I ask, how old are you?" asked Adam quite respectfully, ignoring her comment and wanted to find out more about her.
With more information about her and with a better idea of her character, his Charm Skill would have a greater chance of succeeding and having an effect on her.
"I have just turned 18" answered the girl from the Maxwell Family with her pompous attitude.
"I am also 18, what a coincidence" stated Adam, trying to break the ice so that his Charm Skill was more effective on her.
"My name is Adam. What is your name?" asked Adam, trying to be friendly.
"Stop talking like we are friends. My name is Angela Maxwell and I will be your mistress once you join the Maxwell Family as our subordinate" she stated arrogantly.
Hearing what her name was, Adam couldn't help but laugh to himself.
