Ou Qianxie didn't expect Ye Li to say that. After a pause, he said, "Ye Li, don't you want me to go to Phoenix Villa to ask for an explanation?"
Ye Li nodded and said, "Master, let me handle this matter myself. A real man should get back at his own expense if he is bullied.
That guy is so arrogant because he relies on the strength of his family. I don't want to rely on your face to go to him. If I have to go, I have to go in person."
Looking at the determination in Ye Li's eyes and feeling the slightly different temperament in him from before, Ou Qianxie showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Okay, Ye Li, you are an ambitious young man, Master supports you.
It seems that this experience in the ruins has had a significant impact on you. Your changes are not only in strength, but also in your mental state.
He seemed a little reserved before, but now he is like a sword that can be freely drawn and released, and he can show his edge when it is time to do so."
Hearing the praise from his master, Ye Li smiled happily.
Ou Qianxie looked at him, then straightened his face and said, "Okay, let's put everything else aside for now. Time is limited these few days, and I have a lot to teach you about the basics of weapon casting. Let's not waste time. I will now formally teach you the way of weapon casting."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li immediately sat up straight, with a focused expression on his face.
Seeing Ye Li's expression, Ou Qianxie nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Ye Li, I believe you are familiar with talismans. Even if you have not used them yourself, you must have seen others use them.
We all know that talismans are divided into levels. Generally speaking, there are four levels: yellow, black, earth, and sky. Above these are the artifact level and the Taoist artifact level.
So Ye Li, do you know what the standards are for classifying these levels of talismans? "
This question stumped Ye Li. He knew that talismans were divided into different levels, but he was confused about the criteria for distinguishing them.
"Master, I'm not sure. Are the levels divided by power?"
Ye Li answered honestly.
Ou Qianxie looked at him, smiled slightly, and said, "I knew you would answer like this, hahaha, this answer is of course completely wrong.
Some talismans are of the same level, but because of the different properties of the talisman roots, their power can be very different.
For example, a pure water talisman is far less powerful than a pure fire, metal, or thunder talisman of the same level. How do you explain the classification based on power as you said?"
Hearing Ou Qianxie's question, Ye Li was also a little confused, so he replied: "Master, I really can't guess how the levels of talismans are divided."
Hearing Ye Li's answer, Ou Qianxie nodded, and then he stopped keeping the secret and explained: "Ye Li, the classification of talismans is related to the number of origin runes they contain.
A yellow-grade, low-quality talisman only needs one or more, but no more than two, talisman characters of the same attribute.
A mid-grade yellow talisman has two to four talismans of the same attribute, while a high-grade yellow talisman has four to six talismans of the same attribute.
The three grades of Xuan level, lower, middle and upper, correspond to seven, eight and nine original symbols of the same attributes respectively.
That is to say, no matter how many attributes a top-grade Xuan-level talisman displays, at least one of them has a complete nine-character symbol engraved on it.
For example, if a top-grade Xuan-level talisman has the two attributes of wind and fire, then it must have the original rune of one of these two attributes, and a complete rune is engraved.
As for the other attribute, it can be used to engrave a complete rune or just a few rune characters, which has no effect on the grade of the talisman.
As for talismans above the earth level, they naturally require more runes of the same attributes.
You also know that the origin rune of an attribute is a single rune, but the specific form of the rune that each person comprehends is different.
Therefore, no matter how many origin runes are engraved on magic weapons above the earth level, they are just repeating the first origin rune.
It’s just that this repetition satisfies a certain rule. The structural arrangement of several runes has a certain pattern, which allows different changes to occur when the power flows through them.
A low-grade earth-level talisman requires two origin runes.
A mid-grade earth-level item requires three, while a high-grade item requires four origin runes with the same attributes.
The lower grade of heavenly level requires five origin runes, the middle grade requires six, and the upper grade requires seven.
Furthermore, if one could engrave eight origin runes with the same attributes, it would surpass the limit of heavenly grade and reach the level of a divine artifact.
But here we find a problem, that is, the talismans with eight runes and nine runes are actually very similar in nature of power, but they are very different in might.
In other words, in theory, both of these should be artifact-level talismans.
However, based on the difference in their power, we classified the talisman with eight original runes of the same attribute as pseudo-artifact level.
Although they share some of the characteristics of divine weapons, they do not possess the same power.
The talismans with ten runes of the same attribute are obviously fundamentally different from other talismans in terms of power, so these talismans are classified as the highest level of Dao tools, which means that they have surpassed the limitations of gods and mortals and touched the core of the Dao. "
Listening to Ou Qianxie's explanation, Ye Li finally understood the classification method of talismans. After thinking about it, he asked, "Master, does the quality of talismans forged by weaponsmiths depend entirely on their understanding of the origin runes
So, doesn't it mean that the level of a weaponsmith is closely related to his cultivation?"
When Ou Qianxie heard Ye Li's question, he shook his head first, then nodded and said, "Your first sentence is wrong. The quality of the talisman does not completely depend on the degree of comprehension of the origin rune by the craftsman.
There are many Xuan-level weaponsmiths who can comprehend a complete origin rune, but many of them are unable to forge top-grade Xuan-level talismans.
After all, the original runes in the talisman are not carved directly by us with tools, but rely on our understanding of the material and use specific techniques to guide the patterns in the material to converge during casting.
High-quality talismans not only require the caster to have a sufficient understanding of the origin runes, but also high-quality materials with suitable properties, as well as the caster's casting skills to cast them.
There are many people who can meet the first two conditions, but not so many people can meet the last condition. This is also the most fundamental difference between weaponsmiths. "
These things are considered the basic common sense of casting. Ou Qianxie knows that Ye Li has no foundation at all, so naturally he explains them to him in detail.
