Turned the key three times and opened the lock of the door, Xia Fan, who wanted to hold the key casually, thought about it, and finally left the key on the lock hole.

Descending the wooden steps, the creaking sound of stepping on it was a little harsh in the echo of the basement.

However, the entire basement is densely lit, so it is not dark even though it is buried deep underground.

Compared with the first and second floors, the structure of the basement is undoubtedly simpler.

When Xia Fan finished walking the steps and stood on the wooden floor of the basement, he looked around.

After making sure that the entire basement was a large open room, and there were no additional partitions between the different rooms, he began to take a closer look from his side.

Although there are no partitions, the basement is clearly divided into several different areas.

The area closest to the staircase is obviously the place where the forging is carried out, and in addition to the forging table, there are all kinds of forging tools, but there are not many materials needed for forging.

However, it is understandable that the area of this basement is not too large after all, and there are not many raw materials here.

In addition to the forging area, the area for refining potions and the rune area for inscriptions also occupy about a quarter of the area.

The last quarter of the area looks like an open study.

Two large bookcases are connected at right angles, attached to a corner like a mosaic.

There were a large number of books in the bookcase, and after Xia Fan had seen the other three areas, he came to the bookcase, took a book out of it, and just turned two pages, he found that this book turned out to be a very rare and rare book!

"Detailed Explanation and Advanced Extension of Seventy-two Basic Inscriptions" ......"

Looking at the cover of the book, Xia Fan slowly read out the name of the book. Then silently shoved the book back into its original place.

To ordinary people, this book is worthless, but to runemasters, this book is worth ten thousand gold!

Unlike alchemy and forging, which place too much emphasis on the basics, resulting in a lack of creativity and limited technical improvement in the later stages.

Runes are very lacking in a systematic, reasonable, and basic way of learning.

Compared with alchemy and forging, more emphasis is placed on the alchemist's and blacksmith's mastery of relevant knowledge and the absolute finesse of the techniques in the process, but the inscription has extremely high requirements for the creativity and imagination of the runemaster.

This kind of requirement can almost be regarded as breaking through the sky.

Therefore, most rune masters have a great lack in the study of basic inscriptions.

I have never heard of a rune master who would be willing to spend a lot of time studying the so-called basic inscriptions.

So he took a book out casually, and it turned out to be a study of basic inscriptions, which really surprised Xia Fan again.

With some astonishment, he wandered around the two large bookcases, looking at the thousands of books placed on the bookcases...... If these books were all the same as the one he had just brought out, they were all genuine masterpieces...... So what is the value of these books...... It's immeasurable......

Taking a deep breath again, Xia Fan turned around and walked to the middle of the two bookcases, where the desk was placed.

After making it to the chair, Xia Fan's eyes were attracted by something under the desk.

Right next to his feet, a cube about half a meter in length, width and height was quietly placed under the table.

The reason why it was able to attract Xia Fan's attention at the first time was because on the surface of this cube, there were incomparably complex inscriptions!

It's complicated...... Even Xia Fan didn't understand what kind of effect the inscription engraved on the surface of the cube was trying to achieve at first glance......

However, just looking at the lines of the inscription, the flow of vitality that seems to be visible to the naked eye is enough to prove that this is an extremely profound inscription!

"The old man...... Who the hell is it......"

Xia Fan shook his head, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, bent down and reached out to pick up the cube at his feet......

There are really not many inscriptions that he can't see what effect he wants to achieve, so Xia Fan's curiosity at this time has been thoroughly hooked.

This cube is a bit heavy, but judging by the feel, it should be hollow inside, and something looks like it's placed in it.

Xia Fan held the cube flat in front of his eyes and carefully observed the inscription lines on the surface of the cube.

However, after observing the kung fu for a while, Xia Fan had to admit that there were really many places in the inscriptions engraved on this cube...... Even he can't understand it!

Even though he had carefully seen every link clearly, Xia Fan still understood most of the structural content of the entire inscription very well.

The intricate structure of the inscription lines on the cube and the cumbersome application of various inscription rules are really to a certain extent enough to be jaw-dropping!

There has always been a saying in the world of runemasters, roughly saying that in this world, there can be no two inscriptions that are exactly the same.

Even for those inscriptions with roughly the same effect, different runemasters will draw them, and the final drawing will have some subtle differences.

But no matter how different the inscription images are, the rules that need to be followed in essence will never change, so once Xia Fan reaches the level of height in the runes in his previous life, many inscriptions that seem incomparably complex, often he can roughly understand what kind of effect they want to achieve as long as he looks at them.

So the situation in front of you...... It's all too rare.

"It seems that this old man ...... More than I thought...... How much more can you do? Even if the whole house is a treasure refiner, it is still possible to draw such an obscure inscription, but I have always been naïve to think that ...... With the experience and accumulation of the previous life, the growth in the outer realm in this life will never encounter something that can really stump me. Now it seems...... It's a bit arrogant. ”

Fiddling with the cube back and forth in his hand, Xia Fan said to himself, but a faint look of excitement appeared on his face.

After placing the cube straight on the table in front of him, Xia Fan first closed his eyes, completely straightened out the breath in his body, and completely emptied his brain, then opened his eyes again, and devoted himself to the process of deciphering the inscription on the cube again.
