The special type of paper that scribes needed to create arcane seals was called "Arcane Parchment."
It came from a very special type of tree. These trees were called Arcanum Trees, and they were found in very few places in the world. The trees had a unique property that made them perfect for the creation of arcane seals. The leaves of the Arcanum Tree were imbued with magical properties that made them incredibly durable and resistant to damage.
Scribes would carefully harvest the leaves of the Arcanum Trees, and give them to some alchemists. This parchment was made using a complex process that involves treating the paper with a mixture of alchemical reagents and imbuing it with magical energy. This made the paper highly resistant to tearing and decay and also enhanced its ability to hold magical energies in a stable form.
Arcane Parchment was only produced by a few specialized alchemists and papermakers who guarded the secrets of its creation closely. It was very expensive and was often only available to high-ranking scribes and mages. However, there are some cheaper, lower-quality versions of the paper available that are less durable and less capable of holding complex magical patterns. These are often used by novices who are still learning the craft.
The Houhui Sect had a small grove of Arcanum Trees that they protected fiercely. The grove was tended to by the most skilled gardeners and caretakers in the sect, and only a select few were allowed to enter the grove to harvest the leaves needed to make the special paper. The paper made from these leaves was considered the finest and most, and it was highly sought after by scribes from all over.
In his room, Chen, a seventeen-year-old, thin-built but good-looking young man, was surrounded by papers and not just any papers but precious arcane parchments. He was busy scribing on one of them when he heard a sound coming from his bed. He turned around to see a woman lying on it wearing sparse clothing. It was apparent that some sensual activity had taken place recently.
The young woman, whose name was Wei , spoke, "Have you heard Fairy Ling had a new apprentice? She has made him an elite apprentice. She says he will be a master scribe in the future."
Chen stopped scribing and turned to look at Wei with a frown. "Are you sure?" he asked.
Wei nodded. "Yes, people in the sect say Fairy Ling is never wrong about talented apprentices. All her apprentices are the best talents in the Houhui sect."
Chen thought for a moment and then spoke again. "I don't think I have anything to worry about. Many join the sect to become a scribe, but none of them succeed."
Wei replied, "Yes, but this elite apprentice is different. He is only ten, very talented in summoning, and he is from the main flame immortal bloodline."
Hearing this, Chen's ears perked up. "Which immortal clan?" he asked.
"The Liu immortal clan," Wei answered.
At this, Chen's frown turned into anger, and the parchment in his hand caught fire and started burning. The Liu clan had always been a thorn in his family's side, and he could not believe that they had produced such a talented scribe.
"I have been trying to get that Mei under me for a long time, but she is a difficult one," Chen said, "What else do you know about this elite apprentice?"
"He is very talented," Wei replied. "Fairy Ling said that he could become the best scribe in the Houhui sect."
Chen nodded thoughtfully. He knew that he had to step up his game if he wanted to become the best scribe in the sect. He could not let a ten-year-old from the Liu clan take that title away from him.
In the meantime, after settling down in his new elite apprentice abode, Yuan began his next project, which was creating sigils.
Yuan began with understanding the theory of Sigils.
Sigils were a type of magical symbols that were created to represent a specific magical effect or intention. They could be used for a wide variety of purposes, from protection and healing to manifestation. Sigils were essentially a condensed form of magic that was represented by a symbol, and they could be used to achieve a specific result in a more efficient and focused manner than traditional magic.
To create a sigil, you need to start with a specific intention or desire in mind. This could be anything from finding love to achieving financial success or even healing a specific ailment. Once you have your intention in mind, you would need to create a statement of intent that captures the essence of what you want to achieve.
Next, you would need to condense this statement of intent into a simple symbol or sigil. This was typically done by adding the glyphs and intricate carvings, then combining them into a unique and aesthetically pleasing symbol. The resulting sigil represents the essence of your intention, and it could be used to focus your energy and attention on achieving your goal.
AI was explaining the Sigils in detail to Yuan.
The first step in sigil weaving, the AI explained, was to understand the basic components of a sigil.
[A sigil is made up of several different elements,] the AI said. [There is the base, which is the foundation of the sigil, and the components, which are the symbols that imbue the sigil with its power.]
Yuan listened intently as the AI continued to explain the various components of a sigil. The base, he learned, could be made from a variety of materials, including stone, metal, and even wood. The components, on the other hand, could take the form of symbols, runes, or even words.
