The next day, after finishing his morning cultivation session, Eldryn looked at the first page of the Chaos Book.

Seeing little to no change in his cultivation progress except for his fire affinity, Eldryn did not feel sad. Over these four weeks, he had primarily practiced talisman crafting and, while cultivating, had focused on tempering his body and soul with star power rather than nourishing the seed.
After having breakfast, Eldryn decided to submit the talisman paper and accept tasks for creating talismans at the Mercenary Hall. "Hey, Nathan, are you coming to the Mercenary Hall?" Eldryn asked before heading out.
"No, I can feel I'm on the verge of a breakthrough, so I've decided to cultivate wholeheartedly this week," Nathan replied with a proud expression.
"Right. Eldryn, have you drawn those three types of talismans?"
Eldryn nodded with a smile, and Nathan looked at him with envy. "Eldryn, can you give Amelia and me a treat, like 2 or 3 low-grade star stones, for successfully crafting rank 9 talismans?" Nathan asked.
Eldryn looked at Nathan for a moment before getting up and saying, "I need to go to the Mercenary Hall. You can go ahead and cultivate and I think you still have 3 low grade star stone which is enough for you to breakthrough to rank 2 warrior"With that, Eldryn went to the Mercenary Hall.
After entering the Mercenary Hall, Eldryn looked through the bronze missions and saw the three types of talismans he had practiced on display.
He would be given 110 rank 9 talismans and rank 9 blood ink. He was required to submit 100 rank 9 talismans and upon completing the mission he would earn 1,000 mission points for each type of talisman
So, Eldryn took the mission form to complete 100 of each: Firebound, Firestorm, and Emberstorm talismans.
After that, Eldryn walked toward the attendant and said, "Hi, can you register the tasks for creating 100 Firebound, Firestorm, and Emberstorm talismans, as well as for creating 1,000 talisman papers?" He handed over the mission sheet and his bronze token for registration.
The attendant flashed a smile as she collected the task items and bronze token. After checking the quality of the talisman papers, she transferred merit points to his bronze token. Then, she retrieved a stack of items from her storage ring and handed them to Eldryn.
Before handing over the items, she said, "Sir, you have reached your limit for creating talisman papers, which is 5,000 sheets. Therefore, you can only receive materials for 800 talisman papers."
"There are limits for accepting repetitive tasks?" Eldryn asked with a surprised expression.
"Yes, sir. There are limits for certain repetitive tasks, which will only become apparent once you reach them," the attendant explained. Eldryn nodded in understanding.
After that, Eldryn looked at his bronze token, channeled his star power, and, with a flash, his merit point balance appeared: 2,205. His total merit points amounted to 3,405.
After that, Eldryn decided to convert his points into resources. He walked towards the reward board and began looking for any new treasures available. After reviewing the options, he approached the attendant in the rewards section.
Eldryn walked towards the attendant and said, "Hi, I need 3 low-grade star stones and would like to request a package." He handed over his bronze token.
The attendant took the package request paper and bronze token from Eldryn, then handed him his token and the low-grade star stones. "Sir, your package will take a week to arrive. Here are your star stones and token," she said.
Eldryn looked at his bronze token. In addition to the change in his merit point balance, there was also a number displayed in front of his name, indicating the number of his package.
Eldryn then went to Nathan and Amelia, informing them about the limit for the talisman paper creating task. He also gave each of them a low-grade star stone before heading to his room to start making talismans.
It had been 6 days since Eldryn accepted the task for creating talismans. During this time, he had spent nearly all his time crafting talismans, resulting in 100 Flamebound and Firestorm talismans, and around 20 Emberstorm talismans. Today, however, he paused his relentless work as his mother was coming out of seclusion and Nathan had broken through to become a rank 2 warrior. So,They decided to celebrate with a grand dinner that evening.
After Andrea came out of seclusion, she congratulated Nathan on his breakthrough. She then clarified their doubts about battle skills and talisman creation. Eldryn also took the opportunity to discuss his practice of common rank talismans of other star powers, such as wind and light.
After preparing a congratulatory lunch for Nathan, Andrea went back into seclusion.
At the Great Sea Inn, one of the second-largest inns in Seastone Town, Eldryn, Amelia, and Nathan enjoyed their dinner, celebrating Nathan's achievement of becoming a rank 2 warrior.
As they were having their dinner, Amelia asked Eldryn, "Cousin, have you completed the talisman creation tasks?"
Eldryn nodded and replied, "I should be able to finish in the next two days."
Hearing this, Amelia smiled and said, "In that case, could you help me with creating the talisman paper? Since there's a limit, it's not practical for me to learn it myself."
Eldryn thought for a moment and nodded. "Sure, but if there's any extra talisman paper, it will be mine," he said, as he could create rank 9 talismans and sell them for gold.
Nathan, after hearing Eldryn's confirmation, smiled and asked, "Then, Eldryn, can you also help me with this task? You can take the extra talisman paper." Eldryn nodded in response.
"By the way, Eldryn, have you prepared any gifts for me for becoming a rank 2 warrior?" Nathan asked with an innocent smile.
Eldryn replied, "I think I already gave you a low-grade star stone during your seclusion."
"But you gave one to Amelia as well," Nathan pointed out.
"I gave her one as a gift for successfully creating talisman paper," Eldryn said casually.
Nathan wanted to argue but Amelia cut him off, saying, "Brother, how can you ask for gifts from your younger brother? You should be the one giving us gifts."
"Fine, fine, you guys win," Nathan said, as he started to wolf down his food.
After finishing their dinner, they returned to the villa. Once Eldryn lay on his bed, he began reviewing his information in the Chaos Book, a habit he had developed of checking his status at the end of each day.

Name : Eldryn Emberheart
Age: 5
Cultivation: -1 star warrior
Cultivation techniques: Chaos Resonance (23/5000) intermediate
Skills: Chaos Surge Assault (118/2000) intermediate , fingerstrike cleave (523/1000) Expert , Faint float(120/1000) Expert
Affinity: - Space(88.00) ,Time(40.09), Fire rank1 (36.19).
Once I receive the resources from the package, I should be able to make breakthroughs in both the space and fire seeds within half a month, Eldryn thought to himself.
Eldryn then went into his relentless mode of creating talismans, and as a result, he completed his talismans in just two days.
He looked at the talismans he had crafted and nodded in satisfaction. He had finished the task in 9 days, although the deadline for completion was 30 days.
The reason for Eldryn's relentless talisman creation was that he had ordered 10 low-grade space star stones, which cost 5,000 merit points, but his balance was only 2,000. He needed to accumulate 5,000 points to collect the package. Additionally, if the package was not collected within 15 days of ordering, it would be canceled. Therefore, Eldryn aimed to complete the task within 12 days, but he managed to finish ahead of his goal.
Even though he only practiced common rank talismans for around 3 hours a day, if he continued at this pace, he should be able to master all of them in 4 to 5 months.
