Consumption: 1–3 low-tier scrolls\u002F5 MP (mana consumption doubles for every three tiers increased). Description: Can craft corresponding blank magic scrolls from matching materials (requires significant consumption of materials and mana).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng looked at the skill information on the panel, his eyes brightening slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The technique for Scroll Crafting was obtained so easily! For this type of scroll-making technique, which had clearly been modified by humans for better adaptability, the drawback of \"higher material and mana consumption\" was not a problem for Tang Zheng at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the \"Pharmacist\" ability, without the higher-level herbs and materials found in the game, it was naturally impossible to craft high-tier potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for \"Papermaking,\" which could have its tier increased via skill points, Tang Zheng could be entirely self-sufficient regarding materials; the only thing he needed to consider was the issue of mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This should be a second-tier magic scroll, right?\" Tang Zheng suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged mage first looked toward Master Beilurui to the side. Discovering that his usually rigid teacher had no intention of stopping him, he felt surprised but took the initiative to explain,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Magic scrolls made from normal sheepskin can only hold first-tier magic; they cannot hold second-tier magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This requires a magic scroll made by combining sheepskin with paper from second-tier 'Papermaking'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of realization appeared on Tang Zheng's face, and he curiously looked at the pale golden liquid used to soak the paper just now: \"What is this liquid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having the technique to make magic scrolls was not enough! One also needed the skills and methods to inject magic into the scrolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no interest in taking a caster who could likely only use third-tier magic as a master. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Zheng naturally wanted to acquire the technique for making magic scrolls as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged mage subconsciously glanced at his teacher again, only to find that the other party was holding the magic scroll he had just made to inspect it, still showing no intention of interfering here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is a type of magic solution used to maintain mana stability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the middle-aged mage’s expression toward Tang Zheng was full of goodwill, and even his voice became a bit gentler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being brought here by the teacher, he had originally thought this black-haired youth’s identity was simply somewhat extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seemed now! He had likely caught the teacher's eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The learning difficulty of second-tier 'Papermaking' is far beyond other magic of the same tier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Due to various factors such as the strength of the caster's mana and their proficiency, the amount of mana contained in the paper produced will vary to some degree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, when making magic scrolls, it is very easy to cause mana instability, leading to failure or even danger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is why this magic solution is needed for stabilization.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, the middle-aged man looked at Master Beilurui with a flattering expression and quietly buttered him up: \"Only the teacher can craft perfect second-tier paper without the aid of magic solution.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that's how it is!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the function of the pale golden magic solution, Tang Zheng’s interest immediately waned, and at the same time, a look of pity appeared in his eyes as he looked at the middle-aged mage before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This flattery had backfired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the main hall, this rigid old man had examined the second-tier paper he had made and pretentiously commented that \"this level is considered excellent among his disciples.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it seemed he was simply elevating himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own second-tier \"Papermaking\" should be at the same level as Master Beilurui’s \"Papermaking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the credit of the \"player\" ability and had nothing to do with him personally, but that didn't prevent the result from being the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he didn't even ask for his detailed information before asking if he was interested in becoming his disciple. As expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the middle-aged mage’s voice fell, Master Beilurui, who was inspecting the magic scroll, paused his movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many blank magic scrolls have been made today?\" Master Beilurui raised his head, staring expressionlessly at the middle-aged mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The, the second one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged mage seemed to sense that the atmosphere was not quite right and spoke with a stutter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've only made two in such a long time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you are so slack, go and clean this place up,\" Master Beilurui said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged mage looked bewildered and aggrieved: \"Ah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making magic scrolls wasn't particularly troublesome, but the process of selecting paper with similar mana levels, preparing the magic solution, and recovering mana all took time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you need me to say it again?\" Master Beilurui narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Teacher!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged mage dared not argue and quickly turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having his little thoughts unexpectedly exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no change in expression on Master Beilurui’s wrinkled face, and he continued calmly and naturally: \"This is the process of making magic scrolls.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Beilurui continued walking toward the depths, though his pace was clearly a bit faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Led by the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng followed him into a somewhat dim and crowded room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crowded\" was the word to describe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glance revealed that the entire room was actually about 100 square meters, with nearly 1\u002F3 of the area packed with dense bookshelves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the wall directly opposite the door hung a huge, ancient map, and the thick mountain range in the center seemed to divide the entire map in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The map of the \"Re-Estize Kingdom\" and the \"Baharuth Empire\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the prominent terrain of the \"Azerlisia Mountains,\" this thought flashed through Tang Zheng’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many places in the room were piled with all sorts of strange items; some were stone tablets, and others looked like parts taken from some kind of building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest consisted of various notes, scrolls, and animal skins of different colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corner, Tang Zheng even saw a complete hide of an adult Evil Dog; no wonder the other party didn't care at all when he saw the small Evil Dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These things filled every part of the room, making the whole space feel extremely crowded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you have many doubts in your heart right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No rush, sit down and let's chat slowly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Master Beilurui entered the room, his serious, rigid, and even slightly acerbic expression faded quite a bit, and a touch of fatigue appeared between his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Zheng did not show any politeness either; he walked to the opposite side and sat down with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Beilurui was stunned for a brief moment, then chuckled: \"That's fine too; talented people should always be different from the mediocre.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1156,"2026-06-21T02:30:15.860Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","7e2f7a053e3d8f629827335da942755e544b66987ce6bbd0cffa3068435c1b01","bone-king-welcoming-the-birth-of-the-king-chapter-78","bone-king-welcoming-the-birth-of-the-king-chapter-76",357,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbone-king-welcoming-the-birth-of-the-king-cover.jpg"]
