After taking out the fire-collecting box from his body, Ye Li was no longer a junior weaponsmith, but a genuine Xuan-level weaponsmith.
As for the casting of talismans, Ye Li has accumulated a lot of experience through past practical training and is now very familiar with it.
After starting the fire in the fire box, he threw the materials he had purchased into the fire one by one.
The amount of materials required to refine a yellow-grade talisman was not large, and it was not difficult for Ye Li to control it. In less than half an hour, he began to guide the spiritual energy veins and rune formations inside to take shape.
Without deliberately using the purple energy to check the best usage route for the talisman's patterns, Ye Li used most of the patterns in the talisman based solely on his own feelings, and finally formed a talisman of the upper-grade yellow level.
This level is already a bit of a waste. According to the properties of the Thunder Talisman, a mid-grade yellow-level one is enough to unleash its full power.
Holding a pair of purple rings in his hands, Ye Li couldn't help but play with them for a while. This talisman was a substitute for the Thunder Ring and Wind Ring that he had forged.
After putting the Thunder Ring on his feet, Ye Li stood in the yard and stomped his feet. With the infusion of his spiritual energy, he did not need to draw any talismans or runes. Just relying on the power of the talisman itself, he could activate the Thunder Talisman.
This is also the special feature of this basic talisman. Slightly more advanced and complex talismans cannot do this.
A flash of purple and gold electric light appeared above Ye Li's legs the moment his spiritual energy was activated.
In an instant, Ye Li felt an extremely strong explosive force gathering under his feet.
The force of this explosion is not constant, but will adjust according to the physical strength of the talisman master.
For talisman masters with weak physical strength, this condensed explosive force will be weak, thus avoiding harming the user's body.
For talisman masters with strong physical strength, such as Ye Li, the amount of explosive power contained under his feet is quite astonishing.
There was a flash of lightning under Ye Li's feet, a roar was heard, and his figure turned into an afterimage and appeared at the other end of the courtyard about six or seven meters away.
Before he could stand firmly, lightning flashed under Ye Li's feet again, and his figure turned sharply and appeared on the other side of the courtyard.
When turning just now, Ye Li indeed discovered the drawback of the Thunder Talisman, which is that it can turn quickly in a straight line but is not flexible.
However, under the restraint of his powerful physical strength, the huge force he endured when turning at high speed was completely absorbed by his body. Therefore, after several consecutive tests, Ye Li's afterimage spread all over the courtyard, which was really amazing.
Feeling this change in his speed, Ye Li showed an extremely excited look on his face.
Because the speed he just burst out was already twice as fast as before, it was quite astonishingly fast.
Ye Li felt that if he used the secret fire-casting technique and his physical strength increased, his speed would become even faster.
There are also the wings of the Vermillion Bird and the power of the incarnation of the Sun-Swallowing One, almost each of which can bring a bonus to Ye Li's speed.
With such speed, Ye Li estimated that even if he went back to the scene when he was besieged in Dongdu City that day, he would definitely be able to escape the enemy's pursuit and blockade, or at least he would not be easily captured alive.
After making this talisman, Ye Li stayed in the Ye family for a few more days and even attended a family meeting of the Ye family.
Then came the day to return to the Imperial City.
After saying goodbye to Ye Wujiu, Ye Li led his electric dog to the outside of Dahuang City. The electric dog seemed to know that he could run as wildly as he wanted and was snorting with excitement.
Gently patting the horse's shoulder, Ye Li jumped onto the horse's back and looked towards the Great Desert City behind him. He didn't know when he would come back next time.
Fortunately, the Xunxian Cave and the Tantai Family, who were enemies of the Ye Family, have been eliminated, and the Ye Family can once again enter a stage of rapid development.
Ye Li hopes that when he comes back next time, he will be able to see the Ye family’s strength reach a higher level.
After saying goodbye to Dahuang City quietly, Ye Li lightly lifted the reins, squeezed the horse's belly, and the horse neighed softly. Then he broke off his pace and galloped away, turning into a streak of blue lightning and disappearing into a cloud of dust.
Although Ye Li did not have to take part in the trial to enter the city this time, Xue Ziping still asked him to rush back to the Imperial City to report on the first day of the twelfth lunar month.
Along the way, the electric horse was running at a very fast speed. It hadn't run for a long time and was full of excitement. All that was left behind was a trail of dust.
Finally, Ye Li returned to the outside of the Imperial City on the first day of the twelfth lunar month.
Looking up at the huge black city, Ye Li's heart was filled with emotion.
“I’m back again…”
After getting off the horse, Ye Li walked to the guard post and informed the guard of his name and origin.
The guard had received the relevant orders in advance and knew that Ye Li was coming. He said, "Brother Ye, the higher-ups have already told you to go in directly when you come. Elder Qi is already waiting for you."
Then the guard who was leading the horse took Ye Li's stray horse to the stable, and another person came and led Ye Li towards where Qi Wei was.
Soon, Ye Li arrived at the place where he reported for the city entry trial last year.
Sure enough, Qi Wei was still here waiting for the young talents who were going to participate in the trial to enter the city this year.
Qi Wei was slightly stunned when he suddenly saw Ye Li, and then he showed a look of surprise and said, "Hey, you have reached the fertility period, how is this possible?"
Ye Li did not open his mouth to explain, but just said with a smile: "Elder Qi, long time no see."
Hearing Ye Li's greeting, the surprise on Qi Wei's face faded away, he smiled and nodded, saying: "Ye Li, long time no see, I didn't expect that even though you are not in the Imperial City, your cultivation progress is still faster than I imagined.
I remember that when you left, you were in the middle stage of the trance period. It has only been a year, and when you came back, it was already the early stage of the gestation period.
My judgment was correct. Your aptitude is among the best even among the four sacred places."
Ye Li felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and after touching his nose, he said: "I also had some adventures this year, so my cultivation was able to progress so quickly.
Without those adventures, I don’t think I would have made the progress I did.”
After hearing Ye Li's words, Qi Wei said: "Not everyone can get the most out of an adventure. Only a few people can turn all their adventures into strength.
I am not mistaken in the fact that the more gifted a person is, the more benefits he will gain from adventures.
Well, now that you are back, I feel relieved."
