Lu Li stayed in there for half a day before he slowly walked out.
Qian Huanhan had been waiting outside for a long time. If it wasn't for the fact that people were not allowed to barge in, he would have rushed in.
"Brother Li, what are you doing inside?
Why did you only come out now? "Qian Huanhan came up and asked in confusion.
Lu Li answered casually, "Nothing. I have lived here for half a year and I don't want to leave."
Qian Huanhan rolled his eyes and whispered, "Brother Li, I've successfully forged a Divine Artifact two days ago. My master taught me.
Hehe, it's just the lowest grade of Divine Artifacts. "
"Amazing!"
Lu Li gave Patriarch Gu a thumbs up. Even though he had Patriarch Gu to guide him, he couldn't do anything without some foundation.
It seemed like Qian Huanhan had not been slacking off during this period of time. Even if it was the lowest grade of Divine Tool, as long as he could craft it, he could be considered as a blacksmith.
"Hehe!"
Qian Huanhan scratched his head and said, "Brother Li, you've been studying the formation.
If you had explored the last two steps first, you would have been able to forge a divine artifact as well. Your talent is much better than mine. "
"Let's not talk about this. Let's go back first."
Lu Li waved his hand and walked toward Patriarch Gu's yard with Qian Huanhan.
Back in the yard, Lu Li went to see Patriarch Gu at once. Patriarch Gu was still studying how to improve the Thunder Trigger. Seeing Lu Li coming back, Patriarch Gu nodded with a straight face.
"Qian Huanhan, continue to forge weapons. Strive to forge divine weapons on your own and become a real weapon forger!"
Elder Gu waved his hand to dismiss Qian Huanhan.
After he left, Patriarch Gu asked, "Lu Li, have you made any progress after staying in there for half a year?"
"Yes!"
Lu Li thought of the Bloodvine. He wanted to give Patriarch Gu a heads-up. Otherwise, Patriarch Gu would be shocked if Lu Li progressed too fast. Lu Li said, "I have made some progress in Inhibition Formations. I am trying to figure out the two steps of Artifact Spirit and Artifact Stabilization.
After a while, I should be able to try to forge a Divine Artifact. "
"Okay, then take a look at these books. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to look for me!"
Patriarch Gu nodded and gave Lu Li more than a dozen books about artifact spirits and stabilizing artifacts.
Lu Li took it over and thanked Patriarch Gu. He was about to leave when Patriarch Gu remembered something and said, "Right, in half a year, there will be a tournament of craftsmen. Do you want to go and broaden your horizons?
If you want to go, I can help you ask for a spot from the Pavilion Master. "
"A competition of tens of thousands of craftsmen?" Lu Li asked with a frown, "Is it a gathering of craftsmen?"
"To be more precise, it's a grand gathering of the younger generation of blacksmiths!"
Elder Gu explained, "It's organized by the Craftsmen's Sect. It's held once every ten years, and all young craftsmen can participate.
If one could refine a good divine artifact, or set up a strange formation, or forge an interesting artifact embryo, or anything related to artifact forging, as long as one's performance was good, he would be rewarded by the Craftsmen's Sect.
This time, it's also a divine material trading convention, and the old fellows will go there to exchange pointers and exchange what they need. "
"Oh!"
Lu Li understood now. He shook his head after some thoughts and said, "I don't think I will go. I have just learned how to forge artifacts. I will be a disgrace to my master if I go.
It's better for me to stay at home and meditate. When the next Myriad Craftsmen Tournament comes, I can go and fight for Master's glory. "
"Sure, go ahead!"
Patriarch Gu knew that given Lu Li and Qian Huanhan's abilities, it was pointless for them to go. The best they could do was broaden their horizons. Since Lu Li did not want to go, Patriarch Gu would not force him.
Lu Li came back and chatted with Qian Huanhan for a while before he went back to his room.
Lu Li put aside the books Patriarch Gu gave him and took out Tian Lingzi's collection of books. He began to read them one by one.
Previously, it would take Lu Li a long time to read a book. After all, he had to study the principles in the books.
But now, Lu Li did not have to think about anything. He just had to memorize every word and then send them to the Bloodvine so that she could study them herself.
This was so efficient. Lu Li could read 10 books in two hours and 100 in a day.
His soul was strong now. He had a photographic memory and he could read quickly.
At this rate, it would take him less than a year to finish the tens of thousands of books.
Lu Li read for four to five days and read hundreds of books. He told the Bloodvine to send the information over and then let the Bloodvine try to study them.
If the Bloodvine could learn them and then pass them on to her, Lu Li would not have to worry about anything else. He would leave the Inhibition Formations to the Bloodvine.
In just one day, Bloodvine's voice rang in Lu Li's mind, "Master, I have learned all the knowledge you have given me. Everything is fine."
"Good!"
Lu Li was excited. He continued to read quickly to commit the knowledge in the books to memory. Then, he would send the information to the Bloodvine for her to study.
The knowledge on Inhibition Formations that the Bloodvine learned quickly would be sent back to Lu Li. It would be integrated into Lu Li's soul knowledge so that he could learn it himself.
It was as if Lu Li's soul already had this kind of knowledge. This was fast.
Lu Li absorbed the knowledge in the collection left by Tian Lingzi like crazy. He almost forgot to eat or sleep.
It was only because his soul was exhausted that he stopped to take a nap.
He had been cultivating divine energy. At this stage, he no longer needed to eat. He could replenish his energy by absorbing Xuan energy in heaven and earth.
For several months after he came back, he hardly went out. Patriarch Gu only called him once.
He went to see Patriarch Gu and spent the rest of his time in his room, reading.
During the five months, Lu Li had read more than ten thousand books. Including the thousands he read before, he had read more than half of Tian Lingzi's collection.
During this time, he had been digesting the knowledge passed down by the Bloodvine every day. He believed that he might not be proficient in forging artifacts, but he had made great progress in Inhibition Formations.
At least, the average core disciples did not have a deeper understanding of Inhibition Formations, let alone the patriarchs.
The Bloodvine was gifted in Inhibition Formations. If Lu Li were to study the books, he would not be able to learn them without years or even decades.
Lu Li could learn them almost instantly with the Bloodvine. During this time, the Bloodvine's ability in Inhibition Formations had improved greatly. It was a win-win situation for Lu Li and her.
Forging artifacts was a tedious task. The main reason was that the knowledge of Inhibition Formations and Inhibition Formations was too vast. Not even a master craftsman could say that he was proficient in any of them.
The Divinity had existed for tens of millions of years. Many ancestors had created various Inhibition Formations.
To master the basics of Inhibition Formations would take years. If one was not talented enough, he or she could not achieve much even after studying for a lifetime.
Lu Li was talented in this regard. That being said, the Bloodvine only spent five months to finish the journey that would have taken him years or even decades.
"Buzzing ~"
When Lu Li was exhausted and ready to take a rest, the Inhibition Formation in his room was triggered.
Lu Li opened the door. Qian Huanhan rushed in and said excitedly, "Brother Li, the competition of craftsmen is about to begin. I just heard that many talents in forging artifacts will be there.
Lady Dan will be there as well. Brother Li, can I ask my master to get us two spots? "
"Not interested. I am not going!"
Lu Li waved his hand. Patriarch Gu had told him about this five months ago.
Though he had made great progress in Inhibition Formations over the past five months, he did not want to attract too much attention, nor did he want to participate in such boring competitions.
