After hearing Mo Yuesheng's words, Ou Qianxie remembered that he had not yet had time to announce Ye Li's competition results.
It was also because of this that all the contestants around him looked confused, not knowing why he suddenly wanted to accept Ye Li as his disciple.
Ou Qianxie raised the talisman paper in his hand and showed it to the contestants on the stage.
The four large characters on it were like a huge slap in the face, hitting Mo Yuesheng hard, making him dizzy.
Although the contestants in the audience could not see the talisman paper, they could still hear the loud exclamations of the contestants on the stage, as well as the words "four talisman characters" coming from time to time.
"Four symbols, this is incredible."
Dai Qingqing's face was filled with shock and she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands. Her beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Ye Li.
An Changsheng and the other two behind also saw the four characters on the talisman paper in Ou Qianxie's hand. They also showed shock on their faces and couldn't help but look Ye Li up and down.
Although the three of them were not weaponsmiths, they were equally extraordinary in their knowledge and of course understood the significance of the four talismans drawn by Ye Li.
"Impossible, this is impossible. How could you draw four symbols? Master Ou, is he cheating?"
Mo Yuesheng was a little angry and embarrassed, and he couldn't help but say some nonsense because he felt dizzy and his head was swollen.
Ou Qianxie frowned at him and said, "Do you think I am old and blind? Although the origin runes you drew are different, even if they are all fire runes, there are countless different variations, but the core will not change. These four runes are obviously fire origin runes, and they are connected as one.
Can't I even tell this? Tell me how he cheated to come up with these four characters."
Ou Qianxie's words startled Mo Yuesheng, and he immediately controlled his emotions a little. He quickly forced out a twisted smile and said, "Master Ou... Master Ou, I'm not questioning your judgment, I... I just can't believe that he can draw four symbols.
There are so many of us here, and each of us has comprehended no more than two symbols for a certain attribute power. He has comprehended four symbols. Isn't this more than twice as good as us
Looking at his age, I find it hard to believe that.”
Ou Qianxie nodded and said, "Indeed, when I first saw it, I also found it unbelievable, but he did not cheat.
He only has one Fire Element Talisman Root, so his understanding of this attribute should be deeper than yours. Coupled with his extraordinary talent, he now has some understanding of the essence of Fire Element. With one more step, he will be able to reach the level of mastery.
After reaching this level, he should feel more comfortable in drawing spells, at least he can quickly upgrade the spells to the Xuan level."
Ou Qianxie's last sentence was directed to Ye Li, as if asking him to prove his statement.
Ye Li's way of practicing talismans was different from others. He almost relied on his natal talisman to complete it. However, he couldn't deny Ou Qianxie's words now, so he could only nod awkwardly.
Seeing Ye Li nod, Ou Qianxie's smile deepened, and he said, "Well, now it seems that this young man... Ye Li, right? He is the champion of this competition. Do you have any objection?"
Except for Mo Yuesheng, who had an extremely grim expression, everyone on and off the stage nodded, replied "No objection", and applauded.
After all, Ye Li deserves their respect just by comprehending the four talismans on his own.
Ou Qianxie nodded with satisfaction, looked at Ye Li and said: "Ye Li, congratulations on winning the championship of this Wai Fu Competition.
By the way, how old are you this year? Have you reached the late stage of the Spiritual Mist Stage? Are you willing to become my fourth closed disciple?"
Hearing Ou Qianxie's words, Ye Li touched his nose and said, "Master Ou, I am eighteen years old this year. In terms of cultivation, I have already reached the early stage of the Spiritual Sea Stage and will soon break through to the middle stage of the Spiritual Sea Stage.
I heard that the minimum standard for a weaponsmith is the Spiritual Pill Stage. My cultivation is really not enough and I may disappoint your expectations. How about I just forget about being your disciple?"
As soon as Ye Li's words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar. Everyone had an expression of disbelief on their faces, even Ou Qianxie himself was a little dazed.
There were two reasons why they couldn't believe it. One was the contrast between Ye Li's age and cultivation level, and the other was that he actually rejected Ou Qianxie's proposal to accept him as a disciple.
A master who was almost at the top of the weapon casting field took the initiative to take Ye Li as his apprentice, but Ye Li actually refused. Everyone didn't understand what Ye Li's purpose in participating in the competition was. Was it for the Jiayi Linglong Pill
They couldn't believe it, because in their opinion becoming Ou Qianxie's disciple was obviously more valuable than getting a Jiayi Linglong Pill.
In the eyes of these contestants, Ye Li's actions were tantamount to buying the casket and returning the pearl.
"Are you really from a small family? Then I think I underestimated your talent and potential.
Small families don't have that many resources to train you, and there won't be many outstanding people to guide you, which means that your current cultivation depends entirely on your own talent. This is really incredible, you can actually reach the level of elite disciples in first-class families with your talent."
Ou Qianxie looked at Ye Li with shining eyes and sighed.
An Changsheng and others behind him were also staring at Ye Li, especially Xue Ziping, the elder from the Imperial City of the Four Holy Lands, who also showed great interest in Ye Li.
Being stared at by everyone, Ye Li felt a little embarrassed. Before he could say anything, Ou Qianxie continued, "Although the minimum requirement for a weaponsmith to forge weapons is the Lingdan stage, it does not prevent them from receiving training in weaponsmithing below the Lingdan stage.
Most weapon-casting apprentices only have the Spirit Sea stage of cultivation. At this stage, they can practice making talisman flags and forging some low-level talisman weapons.
Therefore, I think you can definitely become my disciple, and with your talent, you only need a period of training to reach the Lingdan stage."
Ou Qianxie was not angry because of Ye Li's refusal. Instead, his face showed more interest and he once again persuaded Ye Li to become his disciple.
Ye Li looked at Ou Qianxie's burning gaze, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head and said: "Master Ou, I still have some plans to do, and I don't have much time to stay by your side and listen to your teachings.
My original intention of coming here was just to obtain the Jiayi Linglong Pill to facilitate my future practice, and I had no intention of becoming a weaponsmith.
I think the most important thing in cultivation is concentration. If I get distracted by casting, I'm afraid it will delay my cultivation."
