Ye Li looked at the expression on the other person's face, and a trace of curiosity arose in his heart. He asked, "Count Philos, has something happened to your son?"
Philos hesitated for a moment, but still answered: "My youngest son is called Lancelock, and he will soon be twenty years old. He is about the same age as you, Master Ye.
On his thirteenth birthday, I took him to hunt monsters on a whim.
As a result, because I didn't keep a good eye on him, he was attacked by a monster, severely injured his lumbar vertebrae, and lost his ability to move.
Afterwards, I sought medical treatment from many places, and after many years of treatment, his legs did regain some sensation, but he was still far from being able to walk.
He can now just barely control his legs to walk, but the strength he can exert in his legs is simply not enough to support his body, so he has not been able to get up and walk until today.
His twentieth birthday is in ten days, and I really want him to stand up and go out for a walk on his birthday, so I would like to ask Master Ye to see if you can forge a wind-moving talisman for him.
The power of wind can make a person lighter, maybe he can walk on his own with the support of his legs."
Philos looked at Ye Li with a deceitful look on his face. He hoped that he could get a good answer from Ye Li.
Ye Li could see the love that Philos had for his young son. He patted his head and said, "Philos, didn't you ask Kai Diwen and the others if they didn't know how to forge the Wind Rune Treasure?"
Philos nodded and said, "I did look for them, and they were willing to help me, but none of them had the power of wind, so they couldn't forge a wind rune. And even if they had the power of wind, it would be difficult for them to research a wind rune suitable for Lance in a short period of time.
I have no choice but to come to you and ask for your help. "
Philos said to Ye Li with a pleading look on his face.
Ye Li touched his chin and said, "I am willing to help you, and I also have the Wind Power Root, but there is only one thing, that is, I don't think the power of wind can help your son."
Philos was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Master Ye, what do you mean?"
Ye Li said: "Although the power of wind can make one lighter, it cannot make one fly directly, and the more one reduces the weight of the body, the more spiritual energy will be consumed.
As of now, we are unable to create a wind-moving talisman that can continuously offset more than 90% of the body's weight, because if we can create it, we can fly directly.
The wind-running talisman that we can create now can only offset 70% of the body weight at best, and it consumes a lot of spiritual energy. I wonder what level of cultivation your son is at now."
Ye Li himself had used the Wind Talisman in the past to offset the weight of his body and increase his movement speed. However, the Wind Light Ring he obtained at the time could only offset 30% of his body weight, but it could already increase his speed a lot.
But based on Philos's description just now, Lance's legs simply cannot bear his weight, so he must at least reduce 90% of the weight so that his legs can support him and allow him to move.
However, Ye Li estimated that only his master could make the Wind-Running Talisman that could continuously reduce 90% of body weight, but ordinary people definitely could not use it. This kind of spiritual energy consumption was not at an ordinary level.
When Philos heard Ye Li's question, he asked, "Lance is already at the Spiritual Pill Stage. Doesn't he have enough spiritual essence?"
Ye Li nodded and said, “Of course it’s not enough. With his cultivation, he won’t be able to use the Fengxing Talisman that can reduce his body weight by 50% for long.
For every 10% reduction in body weight that the Wind-Running Talisman can provide, the consumption will increase exponentially.
Moreover, it is not just a matter of consuming a lot of spiritual energy in one go, but a continuous consumption of spiritual energy. Therefore, the load on spiritual energy is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people."
Hearing this, Philos looked at a loss and said, "Master Ye... Master Ye, is there... is there no way to help Lance stand up and walk
I... I have been blaming myself all these years and just trying to find ways to help my son.
At the beginning, I wanted him to advance to the fetal development stage as quickly as possible. As long as he could cultivate to the late fetal development stage, his bones would be able to recover.
However, Lance's aptitude is indeed limited. Even though I gave him the best conditions for training, he has yet to enter the gestational period.
In the past two years, I have focused on finding the talisman. I hope to use the power of the talisman to help Lance, so that he can stand up again and walk on his own after seven years. "
As Philos spoke, his eyes turned red. Ye Li could see that he was full of self-blame and guilt. After all, it was he who failed to protect his son.
Philos wiped his eyes, showing an embarrassed look on his face, and said: "Master Ye, please forgive my gaffe, I am really sad.
I'm sorry to bother you, Master Ye, today. Since even you can't make a talisman that can help Lance, I think I'd better give up this idea.
From now on, we can only continue to look for some spiritual medicine to see if it can help him recover, or let him practice with all his strength and strive to stand up as soon as possible."
After saying these words, Philos was about to stand up and say goodbye to Ye Li and leave, but Ye Li waved his hand to stop him and said, "Wait a minute, I just said that I can't make a wind-running talisman that can reduce the body's weight by 90%, but I didn't say that I can't help your son."
His words made Philos' eyes widen, his face full of surprise. Then he stood up from his seat in great joy and rushed to Ye Li.
"Master Ye...Master Ye, are you sure that what you just said can really...really help Lance?"
In his excitement, Philos' voice began to stutter.
Ye Li smiled lightly and said, "In fact, the power of wind is not the only way to reduce the weight of the body.
The power of wind can indeed reduce the weight of the body, but if I use something else to support your son, and use something else to bear 90% of his body weight, does this count as reducing the weight of the body?"
Philos suddenly realized what was going on and nodded, but then he asked doubtfully: "Master Ye, you... you don't want to make a pair of crutches, do you?"
Ye Li rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "Just making a pair of crutches can solve the problem. Why are you looking for me? I can just hire a carpenter to do it for you.
What I want to make is naturally much better than a cane, and it will definitely allow him to walk on his own."
