Pierre almost burst out laughing when he saw the types of materials Ye Li chose.
He suppressed his laughter and said to Edwin Lucas, "I just said that he might be hesitant because he was familiar with the material. Now it seems that he might really not know the material. I overestimated him."
Hearing Pierre's words, Edwin Lucas was stunned and asked, "What do you mean, sir?"
Pierre shook his head for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the materials used by Baron Ye Li include three different levels of materials, and there are a lot of each.
This is completely the look of a beginner. Any metalcaster with a little experience in metalcasting knows that if the materials involve too many levels, the difficulty of metalcasting will be extremely high, or even impossible to cast them together.
After all, the number of patterns in materials of different grades varies greatly. If they are used forcibly, not only will the overall grade of the talisman be lowered, but the risk of failure and the difficulty of casting will also be extremely high.
Even if ordinary people occasionally use materials of different grades to cast talismans, they only use one grade of material and adjust it with one or two pieces. How can they use a part of each grade like he does? "
As Pierre spoke, his tone was full of contempt and disdain.
Ye Li didn't have time to pay attention to what the people were talking about. After selecting the materials he needed, he walked straight to the stove.
He naturally knew what Pierre meant, but this restriction was actually only for ordinary people. People with truly skilled skills could not be said to be completely unaffected by the negative impact of using a mixture of materials of various grades, but the impact would not be too great.
Moreover, the reason why Ye Li made this choice now was actually somewhat forced. After all, the types of materials here are not complete. If the talismans he had conceived before were all refined with earth-level or mysterious-level materials, he would not be able to gather all the required types of materials.
With no other choice, Ye Li could only put together a set of casting materials using materials of different grades but similar properties and types.
Because many core materials in this set of materials are earth-grade materials, Ye Li plans to use the earth-grade materials in this set of materials as the base, and then add black-grade and yellow-grade materials as supplementary materials, to see if he can cast a lower-grade earth-grade talisman.
If he cannot forge such a high-level talisman, Ye Li can also turn to forging top-grade Xuan-level materials.
After all, with Ye Li's current ability, it is not difficult to control earth-level materials. Even if he cannot fully control it, there will be no problem in lowering the grade of the finished talisman.
Taking the materials he needed and walking to the stove, Ye Li started to light the fire.
Ye Li injected his spiritual energy into the furnace, and immediately a blue flame jumped out. It seemed that the quality of the furnace here was not low.
Ye Li put the materials he had selected into the furnace one by one as required. The blue flames wrapped around and licked the surface of the materials, and soon burned the materials red.
Looking at the familiar casting scene in front of him, Ye Li suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. He hadn't cast any tools for a long time, and now he missed those days.
The talisman he planned to cast this time was completely tailor-made for himself. After all, Edwin Lucas had promised him that he could use any material and keep the finished product.
When Ye Li was looking through the materials, he discovered that although the types of materials here were not complete, there were actually quite a few earth-level materials that had soul attributes, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.
After discovering these materials, Ye Li had an idea. Why not use these soul materials and some water materials to design a talisman himself.
As for forging the talismans he needed, Ye Li had actually wanted to try for a long time. With his increasing understanding of talismans and the source of individual attribute powers, it should not be a problem for him to design a set of talismans by himself.
The only thing is that he has no relevant experience, and it is indeed a bit difficult to challenge the Earth level for the first time.
However, Ye Li had also thought it through. It was a rare opportunity to use other people's materials to forge a talisman that he could use. He wanted to challenge it no matter what.
Soon, the materials in the furnace began to melt, and Ye Li quickly controlled them to fuse together. He did everything very skillfully, without any unnecessary movements.
Although he has not been casting tools for a very long time, and even if he has practiced frequently in the past, his proficiency is definitely not as good as that of Kaidiwen, who makes this his profession.
But there is one thing, Ye Li's perception ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people. This was the case in the past with the help of his natal talisman. Now, after the combination of purple energy and spiritual power, plus the strengthening of soul power, his perception ability exceeds that of ordinary people by many times.
With the help of powerful perception power, Ye Li can understand a lot from every casting. His casting efficiency is much higher than that of ordinary people, and the insights he gets from casting every time are also deeper and more comprehensive than those of ordinary people.
It is precisely because of this that Ye Li was able to reach the level of a lower-grade weaponsmith bordering the Earth level at such a young age, while most people could only reach the Profound level at best.
This time when casting the weapon, the power of spiritual consciousness recovered and became very viscous. In addition, after the power of soul increased by seven or eight times, Ye Li could see the changes in various details during the casting process more clearly.
This change in details suddenly brought Ye Li a lot more insights, and because his grasp of the details became clearer, he became more and more adept at controlling the fusion of various materials.
Although he started much later than Kaidiwen, his speed was not much slower, especially after the fusion was completed. He was only half an incense stick slower than Kaidiwen.
Seeing this, Pierre immediately shook his head in disdain and said, "If the fusion speed is too fast, it will cause uneven fusion of various materials and the patterns will become chaotic. Once the forging begins, his materials will soon break due to the pattern problems."
Seeing that Ye Li had accelerated the fusion process, Pierre had already marked Ye Li as a failure in his heart. In his opinion, Ye Li was just an ordinary young man who was familiar with casting. Although he could not be said to be completely ignorant of casting, he was only slightly better than an apprentice and had no practical experience.
When Edwin Lucas heard Pierre's words, his expression began to turn suspicious.
Of course, he was not doubting Pierre's words, but doubting what Ye Li had said before. Could it be that Ye Li was really just pretending, and in fact he had no ability at all in casting instruments
