Ou Qianxie's simple and clear explanation finally gave Ye Li a deeper understanding of the weaponsmith, and he also understood the key to a weaponsmith's achievement.
In addition to the casting prerequisites such as the understanding of the origin runes and materials, the true level of skill is reflected in the ability to successfully guide the patterns in the material to form the desired shape.
"Master, guiding the lines in the material to form the patterns we need is similar to what I did before when I cast the talisman flag?"
Ye Li asked.
Ou Qianxie nodded and said, "In theory, they are indeed similar, but in reality, the difference is huge.
The channel in the talisman flag that allows spiritual energy to flow smoothly is the most basic part of every talisman.
Only after carving out these patterns can one continue to carve out the core origin runes.
After carving out the original rune, other patterns must be derived based on it.
The other patterns include two different situations. The first is to directly engrave the ready-made talisman on the talisman.
The power of the talisman will change with the grade of the talisman. Even if it is just a talisman with nine characters and three words, once the grade of the talisman reaches the earth level or heaven level, the power of the talisman will become extremely strong, bringing about a qualitative change.
Another situation is to disassemble the original runes based on your own understanding of the source of power and piece together the required runes yourself.
I believe you also know that all talismans are derived from the original runes of the same attributes. Therefore, the talismans made in this case are equivalent to creating different talismans.
Of course, this method of casting will be more difficult, and the power of the talisman will be greater, and the various comprehensive abilities under its manipulation will be richer.
Generally, when someone asks a craftsman to make a specific talisman, only by using this method can it be considered as truly tailor-made for the other party, and it is also a reflection of the craftsman's strength..."
Ou Qianxie basically spent the first day explaining various basic concepts to Ye Li so that Ye Li could truly and fully understand weapon casting.
Starting from the second day, I explained to him the real method of casting.
He first talked about the selection of materials, and then told Ye Li how to identify the properties of various unfamiliar materials.
Afterwards, he taught Ye Li how to guide the aggregation of different forms of patterns in various materials.
However, there is so much to say about this method that, in Ou Qianxie's words, it would take a year to finish.
Therefore, he could only tell Ye Li some simple things, and then leave some books for Ye Li so that Ye Li could slowly learn by himself, and in future practice, find and discover the rules by himself.
It took a total of eight days for Ou Qianxie to teach Ye Li all the most basic parts of weapon casting. During these eight days, Ye Li even put aside his daily practice and was almost completely immersed in the study of weapon casting.
The more he came into contact with casting, the more he discovered the profoundness of this industry.
Every weaponsmith's understanding of spells and origin runes is definitely far beyond that of ordinary people.
This is very important to Ye Li, because the enhancement of this ability will definitely help him quickly improve the quality of his talismans and cultivate the talismans to the heavenly level as soon as possible.
Although he could also rely on purple mist to help himself practice talismans, he had discovered through practice that the more powerful the talisman, the more purple mist he would consume when using the Purple Eye Technique, and the more difficult it would be to achieve perfection.
Relying solely on purple mist, it would be very difficult to reach the heavenly level when practicing the talismans from nine characters and seven words to nine characters in the future.
Ye Li is different from others. The more talismans he has that reach the heavenly level, the deeper his understanding of the origin runes will be, and his rune roots will grow rapidly as a result.
After all, he wanted to possess all ten talisman root attributes. If he wanted to improve the purity of these ten talisman roots, the amount of spirit stones consumed would be truly immeasurable if he only relied on finding spiritual medicines to take.
Moreover, after a long period of observation and perception, Ye Li also discovered the pattern of relying on talismans to improve the purity of the talisman roots.
That is, not all talismans can increase the number of strokes of his origin rune. Some talismans with similar properties and nothing special cannot increase the number of strokes of his origin rune even if they have reached the heavenly level.
The talismans he has been practicing have always been very unique, which allows him to continuously increase the completeness of the original runes and thereby improve the purity of the talisman roots.
If he went back now and practiced a bunch of low-level fire spells, then even if he could quickly bring the spells to the heavenly level, the completeness of the origin runes would not improve at all, and the purity of his rune roots would not change at all.
After all, his current five talismans already contain more than half of the characteristics of talismans, especially low-level talismans. His five fire talismans cover a very wide range, and the core composition of most low-level talismans cannot escape the scope of his five characters. Therefore, if he wants to improve these talismans in the future, he must practice more complex high-level talismans, and it is not so easy to practice these talismans to reach the perfect heaven level.
The profession of weaponsmith can provide him with support, allowing him to directly improve his understanding of talismans and origin runes from another direction. In this way, the growth of his rune roots will also become faster.
Early in the morning of the ninth day, Ou Qianxie brought Ye Li to the Earth Fire Refining Heaven Furnace at the back again.
"Ye Li, you have already learned the basic method of casting a talisman. Today you can practice it yourself and see if you can cast a talisman."
Ou Qianxie said to Ye Li while standing in front of the Earth Fire Refining Furnace.
From the moment Ye Li came in here, he knew that Ou Qianxie wanted him to practice. Although he was a little nervous, he was also full of excitement.
After Ou Qianxie finished speaking, he led Ye Li to a cave engraved with runes behind the Earth Fire Refining Furnace.
"Ye Li, this is our material warehouse. I'll take you in and you can take out some of the basic materials you need."
After Ou Qianxie finished speaking, he waved his hand and several runes flew towards the cave entrance.
The rune marks around the cave entrance suddenly emitted various colored lights, and the cave, which originally looked pitch black, suddenly lit up.
Ye Li took a look into the cave. The huge space was filled with various shelves and boxes containing a variety of materials.
"Ye Li, you can't just barge into this cave. I have set up various talisman arrays in the cave. If you don't have the talisman key to remove them, you will be violently attacked once you enter."
Ye Li naturally knew the importance of this kind of warehouse, and it was normal for Ou Qianxie to set up defenses.
