In the following days, Ye Li began his life of casting tools and practicing.
All the casting materials he used were purchased with his own gold crystal coins.
Originally, Bogut said he would give Ye Li the materials for refining, but Ye Li rejected the proposal. After all, after the talisman was cast, Bogut would help him sell it.
If Bogut's materials were used and then sold by Bogut, from a practical point of view, it would mean that Ye Li was helping Bogut to forge the equipment. Although Bogut might not take the lion's share of the money from the sales, Ye Li would also feel embarrassed to take too much.
If Ye Li buys the materials and refines them himself, then from a practical point of view, he is the one who entrusts Bogut to sell the talisman, so it is reasonable for Bogut to only take a commission.
Afterwards, Ye Li began to cast a large number of talismans. He did not cast talismans above the earth level, after all, that would be too ostentatious.
The existence of such a young folk master might attract the attention of the Jinde Empire or the Farant Empire.
Although the place where he was was within the territory of the Jinde Empire, it was already the border of the Jinde Empire's territory.
Apart from the blockade of the port and control of the sea, the Jinde Empire has little influence around Starfish City.
Especially after the recent damage to the Jinde Empire's strength, it can only place the main force of the army in the inland areas. The royal family must have enough troops to suppress the aristocracy. Otherwise, once someone has ulterior motives and hoards too many private armies, the royal family will be suppressed.
The Jinde Empire, which did not have enough power, relaxed its control over the border areas, so Ye Li knew that once his reputation spread, it would most likely reach the ears of the Farant Empire.
Although there is still a hostile relationship between the Jinde Empire and the Farant Empire, if the Farant Empire only sends a few experts to sneak into Starfish City, they should be able to take him away easily.
In this situation, Ye Li did not dare to be too ostentatious. He usually cast some mid-grade Xuan-level talismans to sell.
Although it was only a mid-grade Xuan-level talisman, because talismans were scarce, the price of talismans in the Miracle Continent was much higher than that in the Black Eye Continent. Ye Li earned a large amount of snowflake stones from it.
Ye Li usually only collects snowflake stones. After all, in addition to being used for cultivation, snowflake stones can also be used to purchase various things. Even if Ye Li needs high-quality fire materials, he can buy them with snowflake stones.
This kind of life of casting tools and practicing made Ye Li's life very fulfilling, and three months passed in a flash.
Even if Ye Li deliberately wanted to keep a low profile, there was no way he couldn't prevent his fame from spreading.
He also became a famous Xuan-level weapon caster. He was very efficient in casting and could quickly cast Xuan-level talismans. He could also have people customize some special talismans.
The most important thing is that everyone who has met Ye Li praises him for his youth, so the news that "there is an extremely young weapon-casting master in Starfish City" has spread to the royal family of the Farant Empire.
Edwin Lucas had also heard the relevant rumors. After all, the talismans cast by Ye Li had been continuously resold by merchants and circulated to the Farant Empire.
That day, Edwin Lucas called Kediwen and the other two to the palace.
After Kaidiwen and the other two bowed to Edwin Lucas, they noticed a sword-shaped talisman on the table next to them.
“Three gentlemen, I recently heard that there is a young weaponsmith in the city of Starfish, a city on the edge of the Jinde Empire near the southwest sea.
It is said that he is very young and can cast tools very quickly, and can cast all kinds of talismans. I wonder if he is Master Ye?"
Edwin Lucas said as he looked at Kaidiwen and the other two.
Kai Diwen and the other two were stunned when they heard this. They said, "There is such a thing. The three of us have been busy casting the Soul Gathering Cannon recently, so we haven't paid much attention to the news from the outside world. This is the first time we have heard about this matter, so we have no way of judging whether the other party is the master."
Edwin Lucas said, “I know, you three have been working really hard lately.
After all, this news came from the Jinde Empire through merchants, so it is difficult for me to confirm whether the news is true.
Although I can send people to sneak into the Jinde Empire, there will still be some risks. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I am unwilling to send experts to sneak in.
It just so happens that I just got a talisman. You guys come and take a look to see if this talisman is the work of Master Ye."
Upon hearing this, Kai, Di, Wen and the other two looked at each other in confusion before their eyes fell on the sword-shaped talisman.
Kaidiwen picked up the sword-shaped talisman and examined it carefully, without showing any strange expression on his face.
After that, he turned around and handed the talisman to Pierre and Lorenz, and then gave them a wink.
The two of them had an idea and started to check the talisman. After checking it out, the expressions on their faces became a little uncertain.
After exchanging glances, Kai Diwen said, "Your Majesty, this talisman should not be the work of Master!"
After hearing his words, the expressions of Pierre and Lorenz changed slightly, but they returned to normal immediately.
Edwin Lucas was a little surprised. He had originally guessed that these were most likely Ye Li's work, and he was already considering whether to take the risk and send someone to the Jinde Empire to find Ye Li.
But now, he suddenly heard Kai Diwen's negative answer, and he was immediately confused and said, "This... This is not Master Ye's work?"
Kai Diwen shook his head and said firmly: "No, this is definitely not Master's work. Master's casting skills are much higher than the three of us.
Even if he casts Xuan-level talismans at the same time as us, the craftsmanship contained in the talismans he makes is far superior to ours.
But on this talisman, we don’t see the techniques that Master usually uses, nor do we see the essence of Master’s casting in it. This is definitely not Master’s work.”
Edwin Lucas still had some hope and asked, "Could it be that Master Ye did this on purpose to conceal his own casting skills?"
Kai Diwen shook his head and said, "The casting of the talisman will contain a very strong personal style, which can be seen in the patterns and rune formations inside the talisman.
Even if the weaponsmith wanted to deliberately conceal it, it would be difficult to cover up all of his habits. After all, the weaponsmith's understanding of talismans is fixed, and some casting techniques and habits are fixed.
It is impossible for him to use other people's cognition to complete the casting of a talisman. The talisman he casts can only conform to his personal cognition and habits.
I don't see any trace of my master on this talisman, so it's definitely not my master's work. If your majesty is worried, you can send someone to the Jinde Empire to check it out."
