After hearing Ye Li's instructions, Kai Diwen said, "Master, there is a large house not far ahead that has a secret structure. It can prevent others from eavesdropping on our conversation. It should be the most suitable place for us to conduct research there."
Ye Li nodded and said, "You guys make the arrangements. I'm not familiar with this place anyway."
Kaidiwen nodded quickly, then led the way, leading Ye Li and the other two towards the big house.
Soon, they arrived in front of the big house. After they stepped in, a divine pattern formation lit up around the house, completely covering the house.
The sounds in the room can be completely blocked by the divine pattern formation, so it becomes a secret room and no one can eavesdrop on what's happening here.
Immediately afterwards, Kaidiwen took out the drawings of the Soul Gathering Cannon, placed them on the table in front of everyone, and asked Ye Li to sit in front of the drawings.
"Master, your weapon-casting skills are much higher than ours. You are far superior to us in weapon-casting. I will leave it to you to arrange the next things."
After Kaidiwen finished speaking, he took Pierre and Lorenz to sit aside and watch Ye Li.
Ye Li nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a look at the drawings first."
After he finished speaking, he opened the drawing in front of him, and the pattern he had memorized before appeared before his eyes again.
Although Ye Li had memorized all the drawings before, he was unable to understand them after all, so now he could only start from the beginning.
The Soul Gathering Cannon is different from ordinary daily necessities. With a table blueprint, you can make a table; with a cabinet blueprint, you can make a cabinet.
Although the blueprints of the Soul Gathering Cannon had everything drawn out, things like the rune formations and the trajectory of the spiritual energy veins contained in the cannon could not be engraved into the casting material without understanding them.
If one wants to guide the patterns to form standard rune arrays and spiritual energy veins, then it must be based on understanding first.
If you don't first understand the specific uses of these rune towns and spiritual energy veins, and why they are arranged in this way, then problems will arise with the carved rune arrays and spiritual energy veins, ultimately causing the spirit gathering cannon to be unable to operate.
This is why it takes them a long time to study, because for some parts Ye Li can still infer based on his experience and knowledge, but for some parts he can only rely on experiments to explore.
He first read the entire Soul Gathering Cannon blueprint from beginning to end, and then said: "This Soul Gathering Cannon is composed of more than 300 parts in total, and it is very difficult to cast these parts.
If one does not have a thorough understanding of each of these hundreds of parts, then even if the Soul Gathering Cannon can be assembled, it will not be able to operate at all.
Without a thorough understanding of the parts, we cannot draw a perfect rune array and spiritual energy vein trajectory."
The three of them nodded when they heard this, looking eager to learn.
Then, the four of them began to study.
Ye Li first intended to see if there were any parts among these components that he could understand, but in the end he only picked out about twenty.
He could basically figure out the functions of these parts. Although he himself thought it was very little, in the eyes of Kaidiwen and the other two, it was very significant.
Because including Kaidiwen, the other two only understood five or six parts of this blueprint, which was really far from enough.
Ye Li looked at the admiring eyes of the three people and sighed. It seemed that if he wanted to develop the Soul Gathering Cannon as quickly as possible, he would have to combine the strength of the four of them. After all, their understanding of the Soul Gathering Cannon was close to zero. There was basically no difference between twenty parts and five or six parts compared to hundreds of parts.
However, the possible gap between them lies in the speed of interpreting these parts that have not yet been understood. Ye Li may be able to figure out the details of a part in a few days, while Kaidiwen and the other three may need ten days or even longer.
Because of this, Ye Li might be able to understand and forge the Soul Gathering Cannon in just one year, but if three people were to do it, it might take seven or eight years.
But no matter what, the three of them can be considered as manpower. Although they work slowly, they can help Ye Li save some time to some extent.
In addition, Ye Li was able to communicate with the three of them during the research process, and give them some pointers, helping them to better understand the rune arrays on these parts, which might also speed up their interpretation.
"It seems that your understanding of rune arrays is not very high."
Ye Li spoke to the three of them.
The three of them blushed and nodded. Kai Diwen said, "Master, our strength in casting is indeed very limited. After all, we learned very little at the beginning. Most of what we know now is what we have worked out together over the years. Master, you are so powerful that you can use three levels of materials to make a ground-level talisman. This is incredible."
When Kaidiwen thought of the talismans that Ye Li had forged before, he was filled with excitement. To them, Ye Li's forging was like a divine skill.
Ye Li said: "Then, if you want to help me, you have to put in more effort.
First, I will tell you the details of the twenty or so parts that I have already understood, which can help you improve what you have learned and increase your understanding of the parts.
Afterwards, I will divide the 300 parts into two parts. I will be responsible for the larger part, and the three of you will work together on the smaller part.
We will meet every ten days to discuss the work we have done. If you have any questions, you can ask me on that day, how about that? "
When the three heard this, they no longer had any objections. They were already ecstatic to get Ye Li's guidance, and they quickly agreed.
Seeing that the three had no objections, Ye Li said, "I will now tell you my understanding of these twenty or so parts. You must listen carefully. If you have any questions, you can ask them at will."
Ye Li could feel the extremely strong desire for knowledge from the three people in front of him. The three people's thirst for knowledge about weapon casting was really too strong.
For these three people, Ye Li didn't mind teaching them something.
The three of them hurriedly sat up straight and looked at Ye Li with concentration. Ye Li then told them his understanding of these twenty or so parts one by one.
And he answered the three people's questions one by one.
After Ye Li's explanation, the three of them felt as if they had found a treasure, and their understanding of weapon casting instantly improved by several levels.
After all, they had all reached this point today through their own exploration. Many obstacles were only covered by a thin layer of paper, but they were completely broken through by Ye Li's poke, and they suddenly became enlightened.
