After taking the iron essence, burning glass crystal and the wooden core of the Thousand Threads Tree, Ye Li took the fire from Ou Qianxie and injected his own spiritual energy to keep the flame on the small Earth Fire Refining Heaven Furnace burning.
Then he took a deep breath and threw the iron essence in his hand into the flame.
Iron essence is the hardest and least likely to melt of the three materials, so Ye Li wants to heat it first.
The temperature of the blazing white flame was extremely high, and after just a moment, the solid iron began to melt.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Ye Li threw the burning glass crystal in his hand in again.
When burning crystal meets flame, it melts quickly like ice under the sun and turns into a ball of fiery red liquid suspended in the flame.
The molten iron made from iron essence, together with the red liquid made from burned glass crystal, were suspended directly above the small Earth Fire Refining Furnace, as if there was an invisible force holding them all up.
The blazing white flames continued to burn the two materials, emitting bursts of green smoke. These were impurities mixed in the materials, which were quickly separated under the calcination of the fire.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Li poured his spiritual power into the two liquids in front of him and began to guide them to blend with each other.
Ye Li's spiritual power condensed into a vortex in the air, which began to drive the two groups of liquid to rotate and mix continuously.
After about an incense stick of time, the two liquids completely merged together and could no longer be distinguished from each other.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Li controlled the output of the spiritual energy in his hand and lowered the flame temperature on the small Earth Fire Refining Furnace to a relatively low state.
The two fused liquids began to cool down gradually, changing from the initial liquid state to a semi-solid state.
Under Ye Li's spiritual power, various tiny marks began to appear in this semi-solid mixture as the temperature dropped.
These imprints appear quite disorganized because the fusion of two different substances causes them to become increasingly chaotic.
Fortunately, Ye Li studied very hard this month. He had also studied the appearance of the core runes in iron essence and burnt crystal before, so he could be said to be clueless when searching among various marks at this moment.
After about an incense stick of time, he found two core runes that were almost intertwined with the two materials. Ye Li followed the method that Ou Qianxie had taught him before and began to control the two core runes to merge with each other.
It seemed as if there was a force of rules driving the two runes to combine, and what Ye Li had to do was to control them so that they would not explode accidentally during the fusion.
If these two runes exploded during fusion, it would mean that the material was completely destroyed, and even if they were melted again, they would lose their original effectiveness.
While controlling the temperature changes, Ye Li guided the two runes to gradually merge into a new rune. Only after this step was completed did he breathe a sigh of relief. The production of the rune flag had passed the most dangerous stage.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Li began to inject spiritual energy and divine power into this newly formed rune. Then he felt that he had complete control over this material, and all the imprints around it could slowly change according to his will.
It controlled the surrounding imprints to sort themselves out from a disordered and chaotic state, and then split them in a special way, and the whole mass of material immediately became three smaller mixtures.
Controlling the three mixtures separately, Ye Li multitasked, manipulating the imprints inside them to start assimilating them into the same trajectory according to his ideas.
These imprints are not set randomly, but are arranged according to the properties of the material itself.
As long as the changes are within a certain range, there will be no problem. However, once the changes of these imprints exceed this range, the materials beyond the range will be damaged and shattered from the original materials.
In the previous month, Ye Li had memorized all the things that needed attention by heart. Now, relying on the guidance of his memory, he successfully arranged the trajectories among the three groups of materials.
At this moment, he felt that the three split mixtures seemed to become a whole, and the spiritual energy could be transmitted back and forth in the three different mixtures to form a complete circuit.
Feeling this situation, Ye Li finally realized that the flagpole he had forged was basically completed.
The next thing he had to do was to control the three mixtures to slowly change shape and gradually transform into the shape of a flagpole.
At this point, the forging process has basically come to an end.
Ye Li lowered the temperature of the flame once again, allowing the flagpole to gradually solidify into shape, and finally threw it into the wooden core of the Thousand Threads Tree.
This piece of wood core is completely different from ordinary wood. It does not burn directly in the flame, but slowly melts and turns into a very viscous liquid.
Ye Li controlled the liquid to split into three parts, then pulled out thin threads, which began to entwine and weave with each other, and finally formed three small flags at the top of the three flagpoles.
At the moment the talisman flag was fully formed, Ye Li stopped inputting spiritual energy, and the flame of the small Earth Fire Refining Furnace went out in an instant.
After losing the burning flame, the talisman flag quickly cooled down, and the originally fiery red flagpole slowly turned into a bright red, which was exactly the color of the burning glass crystal before.
"Success, Master, the talisman flag is cast!"
Ye Li used his spiritual energy to hold up the three flags and placed them on the table, then he shouted loudly with joy. This was the first time he used the casting technique to cast talisman flags, which made him feel excited.
“Okay, good, I didn’t expect you to be able to successfully refine the talisman flag after only one try.
But you have to act quickly, because the production of this set of talisman flags is not yet complete. If you don't carve the talisman on the flags before they are completely cooled, the talisman won't be able to be carved on them after the flags are cold, and this set of talisman flags will also be scrapped."
Ou Qianxie stroked his beard and reminded Ye Li with a smile.
In fact, he was also very satisfied in his heart. He had seen the process of Ye Li's refining just now. His new disciple was indeed extremely talented. Even though it was his first time refining, he looked relaxed and at ease.
After Ou Qianxie's reminder, Ye Li suddenly remembered that the talisman must be drawn before the talisman flag cools down, otherwise once it cools down, he will no longer be able to draw the talisman.
Not daring to delay any longer, Ye Li hurriedly took the talisman pen and talisman ink from the table next to him, then flattened the flags on the three flagpoles, and prepared to draw a set of nine-character three-character talismans.
