Chapter 200: Pondering

A graceful line of earth fire talisman was quietly placed on the table.

Ye Wen hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to press the corner of the Earth Fire Talisman, his fingers gently slid along the edge, and then slowly entered the Dao power, the flickering lines of the Earth Fire Talisman were clearly revealed, and the light reflected on Ye Wen's face, setting off the contemplative look.

With a force on his wrist, with a snap, the originally complete and dazzling Earth Fire Talisman suddenly cracked completely from the top to the bottom, breaking in half, and then the light dimmed, like the embers of a fire, no longer active before.

"I've failed twenty times in a row, what's the problem? Judging from the appearance and the content of the aura, the Earth Fire Talisman I refined should be close to perfect, and each turning arc is not the slightest difference, but it can only be judged to be inferior, which is simply equivalent to the evaluation of garbage. ”

The distress in Ye Wen's eyes was undisguised, he tapped on the stone tabletop, looked at the earth fire talisman in front of him that gradually disintegrated and turned into shredded paper, and muttered to himself.

After more than ten days of research, Ye Wen had a thorough grasp of the refining of the Earth Fire Talisman, and he also had some confidence in his own refining techniques, thinking that even if he could not compare with those veterans who were apprentice talismans, it should be more than enough to deal with this level of talismans, but the final result was that he could not refine it into an ordinary Earth Fire Talisman.

Studied but cannot comprehend.

Even Meng Lao is difficult to explain this situation, obviously the start is accurate, the process is not wrong, the hook of the pen is also extremely accurate, impartial, even if it is a poor eyesight of the alchemist, can also draw a conclusion that should be accurate from the overflowing aura, not to mention those discerning talisman veterans, such as Meng Lao's level, as long as one or two glances, it is enough to make a fairly accurate judgment.

But the facts in front of him negate this kind of natural thing, recalling Meng Lao's stunned look, and the gloomy expression that he repeated the appraisal more than a dozen times, the corners of Ye Wen's mouth couldn't help but raise a wry smile.

The taste of falling from the clouds to the bottom of the valley is really unpleasant. Because I didn't expect this kind of thing, I inevitably had too high expectations, but the blow of reality was so ruthless.

This strange phenomenon also promoted Ye Wen's enthusiasm for refining talismans that did not admit defeat, so after returning to the forbidden area of the armor from the academy, he rushed into the room assigned by the Yanyu Pavilion, desperately studying the mystery of the earth fire talisman, but for the time being, he still found nothing.

The composition and tone should be exactly according to the information of the black talisman, and Meng Lao also affirmed the perfection of the steps, but the result was as if he had encountered some kind of prank, as if the talisman had been replaced at the moment when the refining was completed. The finished product of this earth fire talisman actually appeared in a condition that did not match the level. ”

Ye Wen sighed, stretched out his left hand to the stack of earth fire talismans on the left side of the table, pulled out one of them, his fingers gently rubbed the talisman surface, the skin of the fingers touched the lines of the talisman surface, and the slightly convex lines exuded a faint heat, from all aspects, they had a fairly good degree of completion, but they were identified as failures one by one.

Thinking of the almost venting act just now, tearing up one of the Earth Fire Talismans, Ye Wen couldn't help but laugh at himself, Ye Wen, Ye Wen, when did you become so impatient?

For himself, setbacks should be a common thing, but now it's just a failure to refine talismans, and he begins to shake his mind, and it is difficult to maintain his usual sanity, which is really ridiculous.

Ye Wen took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, stabilized the shaky mind, and couldn't bear the irritability, since he got the spiritual space, even if he encountered crises again and again, he had survived without danger, perhaps because of this, the development was too smooth, but he lost his original tenacity.

If one day you rush to the clouds and look down at the clouds, you will find it difficult to suppress the excitement in your heart and fill your heart with satisfaction, after all, the scenery in front of you has never been seen before.

But if you fall from the sky at this moment, return to the ground where you used to crawl, and seem to have a temporary opportunity to return to the sky, the mentality of being content with crawling has long since disappeared, and is replaced by a strong unwillingness, and loss.

Ye Wen smiled bitterly in his heart, when he was mixed in the slums, he had experienced countless things of gain and loss, from being robbed of food, to being driven to the edge of the garbage dump, he thought that after becoming a monk, that feeling of loss, he should not have it again, I don't want to experience it again in the past ten days.

The Earth Fire Talisman is an entry-level talisman, even if it is the one with the worst record among the outer disciples, it is only beyond the limit time, but the final refined product still has the evaluation of the inferior grade, which is two grades higher than his inferior grade.

As soon as Ye Wen thought of this, he thought of the information about the Earth Fire Talisman, and couldn't help but feel a little disheartened.

Although it is the lower section of the nine runes, the selection of the rune paper is quite particular, the blank runes, the material is taken from the first area of the jungle a special tree, called earth fire wood.

This kind of tree is curved and short, the leaves are soft, like the touch of human skin, but there is a little flame on it, suspended on the leaves, as if fireflies stay on it, and although the bark is the color of ordinary trees, if you split it, you will see that there are red lines inside, and the older the tree, the darker the color.

The wood of this kind of tree is extremely easy to ignite, and most of it is used to make fires, which is one of the common woods in the kitchen, but if it is quenched into a blank talisman by a talisman refiner, and then used the blood ink mixed with the blood of fire-based demon beasts to draw runes on the rune surface, it can take the flammable special effect to the extreme.

After all, although the native wood is convenient for making fires, it is consumed quickly, the efficiency is not high, and the heat of the flame produced is not too high, which is not bad for cooking, but it is difficult to meet the needs of alchemists, after all, those talismans that must be refined in a furnace often require several times more heat.

And the Earth Fire Talisman exists for this purpose, and it is one of the consumable talismans dedicated to talismans.

Since it is a special talisman for entry-level talisman refiners, if even this talisman cannot be successfully refined, it is equivalent to being stuck in front of the threshold, and it is impossible to enter the unknown talisman refining realm at all.

This is also the main reason why Ye Wen is depressed.

If you really want to become a talisman refiner, you have to cross this level desperately, otherwise the plan you made before will end up in vain.

And......

Ye Wen frowned, his eyes narrowed slightly, thinking of Meng Lao's extremely ugly, extremely gloomy face, and the angry gaze that looked at him, although it was only for a moment, but he did capture the hideous color of that moment, and a little instinctive vigilance suddenly arose in his heart, this is not a kind of teacher, the emotion that should appear when he learns that the student is incompetent, but also the strong resentment that the conspiracy was accidentally destroyed!

The more Ye Wen thought about it, the more wrong it became.

"However, it may also be that I am too suspicious—"

Ye Wen pondered for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: "The top priority is to solve the problem of refining the Earth Fire Talisman...... Alas, if you can't figure out the problem, it would be a pure waste of time to repeat the refining. ”
