Chapter 260: Modulation
"What!Liu Li, you're already a fourth-order!?How can you be so fast?" Zorn, who volunteered to take Liu Li to the intermediate alchemy room in person, exclaimed. As a participant in the spell exchange meeting, Zorn's talent is definitely not bad, and he has also gained a lot in the exchange meeting, and has been successfully promoted from the original second-order intermediate level to the current second-order high-level, but his promotion at this level is still too much worse than Liu Li's cross-rank promotion.
Liu Li touched his head, a little embarrassed, Zorn was originally a spellcaster full of scholarly atmosphere, exuding a strong bookish atmosphere, and now he suddenly showed this fanatical admiration, which made Liu Li very uncomfortable.
"That...... Zorn, don't do this, speaking of which, you are a few years older than me, and this alchemy workshop is your family's property, how bad it is to be seen like this......" Liu Li couldn't bear Zorn's eager gaze, and couldn't help but remind in a low voice.
"Ahaha, sorry, a bit of a gaffe. Only then did Zorn realize that his previous approach was a little inappropriate, "I have encountered some things recently, and I urgently need to be promoted to the middle level as soon as possible, but it makes you see the joke." ”
"Well, why don't you take a look at it while I'm processing this storage item, and what you can understand depends on your luck. Liu Li didn't deliberately speak in this kind of tone like a senior, but he had been influenced by the will of the world for so many years, and the two qualities of old and young heart were hidden in his heart at the same time. Just being praised by Zorn caused the young man's temperament to prevail now, he ...... It's a little floaty.
"Ha, the tone of your voice is almost like that of my teacher. Not only did Zorn, who had adjusted his mood, not get angry, but looked at the young genius next to him, who was a few years younger than him, pretending to be old-Liu Li's appearance was too inconsistent with the tone he had just spoken, making him almost laugh out loud.
"Ahem...... I'm sorry about that. Liu Li knew the problems in her body, but she didn't plan to change them. Having done this kind of thing against the will of the world, Lendoria didn't want to become like a teacher and go crazy from time to time. But the most fundamental reason is that he is not resistant to his state, and even feels that it is a novel experience. Liu Li is not sure whether this "novelty" is also the result of the influence of the world's will, but she has no intention of delving into it.
The reason why Liu Li suggested that Zon look at the whole process of processing gems was just to help this little brother who made him feel good. Besides, whether it is an alchemy room or elemental materials, because of Zorn's relationship, the workshop is provided for free, and some of them can only be found on fourth-order solitary demonic beasts, which are very valuable. The principle of equivalent exchange is still relatively prevalent among spellcasters, and it is impossible for Liu Li not to express it in the slightest.
The drawing principle of the "Wind King's Pupil" circle does not involve the most fundamental meditation method of Liu Li's vein spell school, but it is also the essence of Ex's years of research, and many of the drawing of the circle can even be called deviant in the eyes of the orthodox array masters, but it cannot be denied that this kind of circle is more convenient for the caster to explore the essence of the elements.
“...... Is it appropriate?" Zorn's tone became serious, he knew what Liu Li's proposal meant. He also has his own teacher, so he naturally knows that some secret methods are similar to secret knowledge for spellcasters, among which there are mostly unique meditation methods, but there are also "side doors" involving formation or alchemy.
"Well, don't worry, there's nothing out of place. "The attitude of the spellcasters of the Aode Continent towards "knowledge" is still very enlightened in Liu Li's opinion, even some "secrets that are not passed on"—such as the unique meditation method practiced by the spellcasters of Liu Li's own lineage—have left records in neutral organizations like the "Sky Tower", but there are definitely not many people who are qualified to consult this record.
——
said that it was to observe, but Liu Li did not allow Zorn to get close to the alchemy platform, but just asked him to stay in the corner of the room to let go of his spiritual power and perceive the changes in the flow of elements in the space. Zorn, who runs an alchemy workshop at home, knows the rules, and naturally has no objections to Liu Li's arrangement.
Liu Li nodded with satisfaction, and secretly praised Zorn for arranging it thoughtfully, not only all the materials are of good quality, but the pre-processing is also in place in one step, except for a few special requirements, he can use them directly, and he does not need to process them himself.
What Liu Li really wanted to show to Zorn was his own blue rune. Liu Li had vaguely asked the King of the Ancient Black Dragon more than a month ago whether he could pass on the runes he had condensed to others. Crosis did not object to this, but also put forward the corresponding condition - the runes could not be taught to high-level casters without permission. Although Liu Li didn't know what the Ancient Black Dragon King intended for making such a decision, he had no intention of disobeying the most powerful being in the world.
"Zorn, concentrate your spiritual power here at the alchemy table, and then perceive it carefully. After processing all the materials to a state where they could be used immediately, Liu Li took the time to inform him that for the next period of time, until the gem was concocted, he would never have the opportunity to devote a single bit of energy.
A pale blue glow filled the entire alchemy room, and finally condensed into his exclusive rune in the air in front of Liu Li. The elements that escaped from the runes infiltrated not only the gem that needed to be processed, but also the materials that had been pre-treated.
Liu Li's fine control of the elements is not yet comparable to that of the high-level Ex, and under normal circumstances, it does not meet the minimum requirements for perfectly processed gemstones. But he also had a trick up his sleeve, the elements escaping from the runes belonged entirely to the caster himself, and only those elements that could be manipulated like fingers could help him in the task of concocting gems.
However, it is precisely because of this that Liu Li was able to fully reveal the secrets of the runes in front of the eyes of the onlookers. Although with Zorn's first-level spiritual power, it is inevitable that he will be seriously ill after perceiving the mysteries of the runes at close range, as long as he can comprehend one-tenth of them, at least the path before he is promoted to the high level will be unimpeded.
Now Liu Li doesn't have the energy to care about Zorn's state. As the runes were revealed, the elemental materials that had been processed in the early stage floated up from the alchemy table one by one, and under the washing of the elements escaping from the runes, clusters of blue droplets of different shades of color were extracted.
These droplets are the "pigments" that Liu Li carved the circle on the gems, and his spiritual power is the hand that holds the pen, and that pen is the exclusive rune hanging in the air.
It is said that it is to draw the magic circle, but Liu Li's processing of the gem is not as simple as "drawing" the magic circle, and of course it is not a rough inscription, but to break the magic circle into the gem without destroying the structure of the gem to make it run smoothly. The gems already contain a huge amount of blue elements that are difficult to guide and control, and what Liu Li has to do is to make these elements flow in the way he wants through the magic circle to achieve the purpose of changing the nature of the gem.
With the mobilization of spiritual power, the droplets pulled out extremely thin silk threads under Liu Li's control, which were almost invisible to the naked eye, but in his perception of the "omniscient" state, these blue lines were so obvious.
Liu Li had never tried to manipulate the spiritual power into so many strands, and if it weren't for the fact that the droplets refined from the elemental materials had been baptized with exclusive runes, he knew that he would never have been able to do it.
The adjustment of the "Wind King's Pupil" is the most complex formation that Liu Li has learned since he came into contact with the formation method. Originally, the purpose was to teach Celestia magic, but after years of study, it had become his own - the circle he drew was very different from the "original" created by Ex, and the concept of the three-dimensional circle created by Landoria was inevitably indispensable.
The elemental silk threads are woven into a web in Liu Li's delicate manipulation, which is dazzling at first glance, but it is in line with the rules of the essence of the elements. This composition, which had been carried out countless times in Liu Li's mind and evolved countless times, finally became a reality today—when all the elemental droplets quenched from the materials on the alchemy table were exhausted, and the elemental network was finally weaved.
"Whew, below, I hope it will succeed. "The mystical elemental web eventually shrunk into a ball, and it looked the same as the previous elemental droplets, except that the volume was by no means a fusion of the droplets that had been refined from the material. It hung in the air like a blue droplet no more than two or three millimeters in diameter, shining in magnificent colors under the bright lighting of the alchemy platform. But in the "omniscient" vision, its light almost blinded Liu Li's eyes.
With a sigh of relief, Liu Li watched with apprehension as the droplets of water dripped on the gems that had been prepared long ago—Liu Li had already done everything he could, but he was not completely sure about this last step.
The droplets fell on the gem unhindered, submerged into it, and spread into a complex circle within the gem.
The huge amount of blue elements hidden in the gem became active the moment the droplets fused with it, and although it still could not guide out of the gem, it was no longer in the state of chaos before, but flowed along the circle drawn by Liu Li.
......
"Whew, good luck. Seeing that the magic circle was running without hindrance, Liu Li breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and his hanging heart also fell back to its original position.
It was a risky attempt, and Liu Li had enough confidence in the formation of the formation, but the final fusion had to be favored by fate - if the circle could not properly channel the blue elements in the gem, more than eighty percent of the elements that became active could destroy this rare artifact.
But this is also a rare experience, such a complicated magic circle was finally successfully drawn, which gave Liu Li full confidence, and at the same time made him sure of one thing - his spiritual power has reached the level of the fourth-order advanced level, as long as he meditates and cultivates step by step, the high-level is just around the corner for him.
"Zorn, how are you?" Slowly moving to Zorn's side, Liu Li gently shook the beginner-level spellcaster who was covered in the breath of a scroll.
Zorn didn't respond to Liu Li, the little brother's eyes were glazed, and he was obviously still immersed in the evolution of the elements he had perceived earlier. Liu Li felt a little difficult, he didn't know if if he called someone over now and carried this stupid little brother out, would be mistaken for thinking that he had done something to him.
"Whew...... Liu Li, I think I was cheated by you this time. Zorn didn't let Liu Li wait too long, and it only took more than ten minutes to come back to his senses. The reason why he desperately wants to improve his strength is to perform well in front of the girl he likes in the year-end exam. Zorn knows that this opportunity given to him by Liu Li will make his future bright, but can he adjust his state to the best before the exam...... He had no hope for it.
