Chapter 96: Intricate Talisman Drawing!!

“Young man, who have you offended?”

At these words, Kranos was stumped. Who had he offended? He had always lived a calm and peaceful life and hadn’t offended anyone. On the contrary, it was he who had been constantly offended by being targeted. Kranos frowned slightly. Fortunately, from the side, Kathryn interrupted.

“It is the Scarlet Moon Organization that is tracking him down.”

“The Scarlet Moon Organization?” The man was slightly surprised as he looked at Kranos. He realized the reason quickly upon studying Kranos. “So that old man is still scheming about? I’ve told him countless times that scheming will not take him anywhere!” he muttered under his breath.

With a sigh, the man said to Kranos and the others, “Come with me, let me prepare the equipment we need.” Kathryn nodded as well; then the three stepped into the small hut.

However, upon stepping inside, Kranos was stunned. From outside, the hut seemed extremely small; however, as soon as he entered, he noticed the extravagant courtyard filled with spiritual trees.

Kathryn’s expression was calm like she already expected this, but just like Kranos, Kevin’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Hehe, interesting, right? Young man, if you’re willing to be my disciple, I can teach you how I created it!” the man interrupted Kranos with a grin.

Kranos was immediately stunned. He stared at the man that looked similar in age to his son back on Earth and couldn’t help but be speechless. He didn’t expect the man to want to take him in as his disciple. Kathryn’s expression by the side also changed drastically. She couldn’t lose such a good chess piece! She knew the true extent of Kranos’s future potential and strength!

With that thought, she immediately informed, “His soul is injured, I’m the only one that can heal him.”

The young man was immediately stunned. His gaze immediately turned to Kranos, and as though he had seen something terrible, his expression turned into a frown. “Young man, what sort of terrifying thing did you do to cause your soul to be injured this badly?” the man asked as soon as he noticed the cracks in Kranos’s soul.

Kranos didn’t reply. He couldn’t possibly tell the man that he had regressed, could he? Seeing that Kranos was unwilling to reveal the details to him, he sighed and said, “How unfortunate, if only I had an immortal heavenly treasure.”

The man shook his head in pity. “Young man, it seems you are destined to not be my disciple.” Getting rid of such emotions, his expression changed slightly, and he said to Kranos, “Alright, wait for a bit while I prepare the treasure to hide your aura.”

After saying this, he walked away, while Kathryn and the others found a place to sit down.

Soon the young man came back. In his hand was a thick piece of paper. An array paper? Kranos was slightly surprised; however, he quickly shook his head. Although it seemed similar to an array paper, it was different and seemed silky.

Kranos immediately felt curious about what the man was about to do. Fortunately, he didn’t have to wait for too long. The man soon reached them, with a swing of his hand he sent the paper flying. The paper remained hovering in midair, then his hand began moving in the air. At first, his movements were slow but quickly became faster as time progressed.

By the side, Kranos was stunned. He could tell that the man was drawing something similar to an array, but that is definitely not an array! Kranos stared with wide eyes. Normally, arrays had cores, but this one didn’t possess a core; it just seemed like a loop of mana lines interconnected together. The mana lines were extremely profound.

Kranos had a faint guess in his heart that the young man had definitely comprehended an array language book! Normal array words could never form something as mysterious and profound as this!

“That’s a talisman.” Noticing his shock, Kathryn explained by the side. “Talismans are similar to arrays, but there are certain differences. As I am not proficient in both, I only know this much.” Saying so, she shook her head.

Talismans? Kranos muttered inwardly. His eyes gleamed. He had decided: given the time in the future, after the whole ordeal was over, he would definitely learn this craft. If he could also integrate his time ability into it, it would definitely be best!

Noticing his expression, Kathryn frowned slightly, then she said in a low voice, “Don’t think of taking him as your master. For this old man to teach you the talismans art, you will have to pay an exorbitant price!”

Kranos was immediately curious. Kathryn seemed to know a lot about the old man. With that, he asked, “How much?”

“Heh… at least a hundred immortal treasures!” Kathryn replied with a sneer, causing Kranos to be shocked beyond belief. He could believe lessons from the old man cost so much! Noticing his doubt, Kathryn just shook her head and didn’t say anything more. Only she knew the true extent of the man’s terrifying array capabilities, which was why the price was high. She even felt she had underestimated the old man.

Time passed, and after lining up more than a thousand array lines, the man’s hand finally came to a pause. Watching the masterpiece, Kranos was unable to close his eyes. Even though he couldn’t understand anything from the talisman paper, he still felt its profound and mysterious aura. Kranos faintly felt that, given more time, he would be able to learn some things from the talisman!

The old man flicked the talisman to Kranos. “Slap this somewhere on your body. It should change your aura. Besides, if anyone locks onto your new aura, it will automatically change once more. In short, you are practically untraceable for some people! But don’t get too cocky and think you can’t be tracked because of this. Tracing one with aura is just one of the many ways of tracing a cultivator.”

Kranos received the talisman gratefully. Touching it, he felt it was slightly hot; at the same time, he could faintly feel the flow of mana in the talisman. He could also sense a dreadful aura emanating from the talisman.

After thinking for a bit, Kranos ultimately rolled up his sleeves and slapped it onto his arm. He also listened to the man’s words with full attention. As cautious as Kranos was, he had already considered what the old man told him. He had even made a decision to be even more low profile. When his strength reached an unparalleled degree, he would then have a hearty talk with the mastermind who was constantly trying to kill him, and the Scarlet Moon Organization.
