Without delay, Ren Jie started writing after taking the paper and brush.

One sheet…

Two sheets…

Three sheets…

…

Ren Jie wrote extremely quickly. He initially hadn’t known how to use a brush, but as he went on, he very naturally grasped the rhythm, and his words also became more natural. His speed became faster and faster too. Sheets of papers with all sorts of materials written on them were continuously handed to Ren Tianzong, who was at the side.

Ren Tianzong looked at the sheets of paper that Ren Jie had filled with various kinds of materials. At the start, there was nothing, but as he read on, he looked increasingly surprised.

This was because when he started looking at the words that Ren Jie wrote at the start, it was evident that he didn’t know how to write. However, gradually, they became increasingly mellow and full. His characters also became prettier and prettier. Naturally, following the increase in his speed, the words became more and more natural and unrestrained.

Reading the person using his words, Ren Tianzong realized that when Ren Jie had written more than ten sheets of paper and a few hundred words, his words had already become extremely fluent, arrogant, wild, as if he had seen a person’s heart.

How could that be? Had his handwriting been mastered in just that short while? The subsequent half was even better than the general literary men who had practiced the skill for more than 20 years. And the most inconceivable part was that he’d already formed his own style.

Ren Tianzong was slightly better. He’d only been shocked and surprised because more of his attention was focused on the prescription and materials on the papers.

After so many years, he knew his stuff in many aspects. He gradually realized that Ren Jie’s command over every item was about the same as the people that he had engaged. Although these poisons, arrays, and restraints weren’t especially advanced, they were incomparably ingenious. Those people’s formulas were all the best.

How old was Ren Jie, how was it possible that he could achieve this too? And it involved a dozen fields at one go.

Moreover, apart from the parts he had figured out, there were also some slight adjustments that made it seem even finer. Thinking of what Ren Jie had said earlier, Ren Tianzong also seemed to perceive that all these that Ren Jie had written could be connected and weren’t completely independent anymore.

Ren Tianzong was immersed in those thoughts while Wan Hong stared fixedly at Ren Jie’s words from the side like he was in a dream.

The more he looked, the more muddled he was. He couldn’t believe that a person could write a word and have his level improve just like others who had practiced diligently for a year and stabilizing after writing a few dozens of words, slowly forming his style. This was virtually rubbish.

Even if this was nonsense, bragging, no one would brag this way. It was too ridiculous.

But the facts were right before his eyes. Wan Hong held back for a long time and finally came up with a logical explanation in his own mind. That’s right. This Ren Jie was practicing in secret, only that he concealed himself in usual times, and right at this moment, he no longer has to. That’s right, only such an explanation is logical.

Ren Jie had no time to care about what they were thinking. Damn it, nineteen symptoms all linked together, involving things from more than ten fields, the changes were endless.

He wrote for six whole hours without a break before stopping.

“All… All these are needed?” Ren Tianzong carried a thick stack of papers in his hands, even thicker than several books piled together. These medicinal ingredients and materials, all put together, were enough to fill up his wooden house.

“No. We’re missing one more.” Gripping the brush, Ren Jie, who was staring at a blank sheet of paper in a daze, said slowly.

“What are we missing?” Ren Tianzong was starting to believe that Ren Jie really had a way now. Although it was rather inconceivable how exactly he’d managed to do so, he was really seeing hope. Hence, he desperately wanted to know what the missing item that Ren Jie spoke of was.

Not to mention anything else, those that he was carrying in his hands, just these materials and matching of medicinal ingredients that involved many fields, it was difficult to do even if he wanted to lie.

“Um…” Ren Jie hesitated for a moment before slowly writing four words on the paper. “Dark Glacial Heavenly Essence.”

“Dark Glacial Heavenly Essence. Is it very precious or very difficult to find?” Sixth Uncle had perceived a problem from Ren Jie’s expression. He had knowledge in some fields, and it was all because of Yun Feng-er’s symptoms. Whereas this Dark Glacial Heavenly Essence that Ren Jie had written was needed for the two symptoms that Yun Feng-er had yet to show, which was also the core item. Hence, Ren Tianzong still wasn’t too clear.
