The moment these two thoughts arose, Ye Li's heart could no longer remain calm, and he quickly focused his attention on the orange flame area.
He had already memorized the characters next to his natal talisman. Relying on his memory, Ye Li immediately found the starting point of the second character in the orange flame area.
Following this starting point, Ye Li referred to his second fire symbol and soon found the same symbol in the dense trajectory of flames.
At this moment, there were only nine flame tracks left in the orange flame area in front of him, and finally they condensed into a flame symbol.
After Ye Li comprehended the two talismans at an extremely fast speed, he focused his attention on the red flame area.
During the past six months, Ye Li has improved his talisman drawing speed to the point where he can draw three nine-character talismans in a snap of his fingers. Now he can draw six nine-character talismans in two snaps of his fingers, which means he can now draw nine-character, six-character talismans.
Before he left the Ye family, he had memorized nine talismans in the Lingfu Pavilion. In addition to the Shimmering Bone Flame Mist and the Blazing Flame Claw, he has now also mastered two nine-character four-character talismans and two nine-character five-character talismans, and upgraded them to the heavenly level.
Although he had already learned the Nine-Character Six-Character Talisman, he had not yet had time to upgrade it to the Heavenly Level. After all, the talismans had become more and more complicated. Even with the help of the Purple Eye Technique, it was not so easy for him to practice a talisman to the Heavenly Level.
However, relying on the talismans that he had practiced to the heavenly level before, the characters next to Ye Li's natal talisman now have two characters and seven strokes.
Although he failed to form a complete third symbol, he was still able to quickly find the seven flame tracks in the red flame area.
However, for the following trajectory, he could no longer rely on the help of the fire symbol next to his natal talisman, and could only comprehend it by himself in the red flames.
With the help of the previous seven talismans, it became very easy for Ye Li to find the remaining two talismans. After just a brief observation, he successfully comprehended the third talisman.
As he comprehended more and more symbols, Ye Li found that he seemed to be able to see a pattern in the movement of the flames.
Before, when he looked at the blue flame area behind the red flame area, he had almost no idea, but now the trajectory of the blue flame became somewhat orderly in front of his eyes.
After calming his mind, Ye Li began to devote himself to comprehending the blue flame runes. Although he didn't know how long it would take until the end of the hour, every additional rune he comprehended would be of great benefit to him.
The more he comprehended the origin runes, the deeper his understanding of the power of fire became. In the future, when he practiced fire runes, he would be able to reach the heavenly level more quickly.
At this time, half an hour had passed, and all the contestants were still immersed in the understanding of the Origin Rune.
After activating the talisman, Ou Qianxie sat back at the long table at the back, leaving only the talisman still floating in the air and spinning.
An Changsheng stroked his long eyebrows and said, "Qian Xie, how did you and Qian Ye end up like this
Although you had some disagreements on the training of apprentices before, it shouldn't have come to the point of splitting up, right?"
The three people who came here today have a very good relationship with Ou Qianxie. They came here specifically to inquire about the situation because they heard that Ou Qianxie had separated from the Weapon Foundry Hall under its name. Coming to watch the competition was just a side job.
Hearing An Changsheng's question, Ou Qianxie's expression was extremely solemn, and he said: "I actually don't know why the relationship between us has become so severe, but you have also seen that all the old members of the Foundry Hall have sided with him. This is obviously not normal.
I had previously opposed his proposal to recruit a large number of apprentices. Instead, I chose the principle of streamlining, and tried to only recruit apprentices with better talents, and train them so that our overall strength in weapon casting would become stronger.
What he hopes to do is to recruit a large number of apprentices, only some of whom will be used to forge weapons, and the rest will be used to improve our military strength. This is totally against the principles of our Weapon Foundry.
Since then, there have been constant frictions between us due to various issues, and now it seems to me that he is deliberately forcing me to break up with him.
I originally thought that if I broke with him, most of the elders would stand on my side, and we would still maintain the development path of the Foundry Hall that has remained unchanged for thousands of years and push the foundry to the extreme.
The result was beyond my expectation. Except for my disciples, everyone stood on his side. The entire Foundry Hall even kicked me out as the leader. This was really beyond my expectation.
Looking at those elders of the Foundry Hall who had sided with him at some point in time, I finally realized that Duan Qianye had been secretly operating in the hall for who knows how many years in order to completely sideline me, the head master.
I grew up with him, and in my opinion, he is definitely not the kind of person who desires power, so he must have a reason for forcing me out, but I have no idea what the reason is that would make him do this. "
After hearing his words, An Changsheng, Guan Zhongbao and Xue Ziping looked at each other, and they could see a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.
They have known each other for decades and naturally know a lot about Ou Qianxie's junior brother Duan Qianye. They also don't think that Duan Qianye is a power-hungry person. Compared with power, this guy seems to be more interested in cultivation and casting.
Guan Zhongbao said: "Qian Xie, didn't you ask your junior brother in person why he did this?"
Ou Qianxie sighed and said, "Of course I asked him, but the reason he told me was that the development of the Foundry Hall in the field of Foundry has now reached a bottleneck.
What we need now is not to continue to enhance our individual weapon-casting capabilities, but to expand the influence of the entire weapon-casting hall.
After we become a first-class force, we will naturally absorb a large number of people to join us, including a sufficient number of apprentices with talent in casting. Moreover, we can also plunder a large amount of resources to improve the cultivation level of the entire casting hall members.
After all, there is a certain relationship between weapon forging and cultivation. If we can have more people enter the realm of the gods, then our strength in weapon forging will be even stronger.
Although his words make some sense, you also know that my Foundry Hall has instructions from our ancestors that we are not allowed to get involved in the fights in the martial arts world. What he is doing now is fundamentally against the rules set by our ancestors.
If you want to expand your power, it will inevitably lead to conflict, which is absolutely not allowed."
