"Chief?"
Lu Li waved his hand after a moment of hesitation. "Master, I don't think we should disturb Chief. After all, these are just preliminary ideas. They have not been verified yet.
I think we should discuss them together.
Even if Chief is disturbed, I don't want to say that I am the one. You can say that you are the one. "
Lu Li was well aware of the importance of the Formations. If the Lightning Trigger could be improved, it would be a breakthrough for the Chamber of Relics. The Formations could be the cornerstone of the Chamber of Relics.
Lu Li believed he could live longer if he kept a low profile. If news of him improving the Lightning Trigger were to spread, he would become the target of public criticism. Chou Qianjun might send someone to assassinate him.
Patriarch Gu thought for a moment. He understood Lu Li's concern. Looking at Qian Huanhan who was striding over, Patriarch Gu waved his hand and said, "It's okay. There is no need to invite the Chief. Go back to cultivation."
"But …"
Qian Huanhan blinked, confused. Why did Patriarch Gu call him in such a hurry? He came in a hurry and Patriarch Gu told him to go back?
Was Patriarch Gu messing with him?
While Qian Huanhan was hesitating, Patriarch Gu glared at him. Qian Huanhan felt a chill on his back. He ran away quickly.
If he didn't leave now, Elder Gu would probably send him flying with a slap.
After Qian Huanhan left, Patriarch Gu took the drawings and studied them carefully. This time, he did not just skim over them. He studied them carefully to verify the feasibility.
Lu Li had done some calculations and it should not be a problem. That being said, he had never forged artifacts and had no experience.
Everything was just an armchair strategy. It was up to Patriarch Gu to decide if it was feasible.
Lu Li stood on the side quietly. Patriarch Gu had been studying the drawings for six hours without any intention of stopping. Lu Li waited. Patriarch Gu moved his eyes away when it was completely dark. His eyes glowed as he asked Lu Li, "Lu Li, did you create all these Formations?"
"Yes, Master!"
Naturally, Lu Li could not tell Patriarch Gu that Blood Fairy was the one who developed them. Otherwise, people would covet them. Lu Li had to bite the bullet and say that he did it.
"You are a genius!"
Elder Gu sighed and said with a face full of shame, "Master has been studying the Dao of Artifact Refining for a hundred years, but it's not as good as what you have been studying for a few years.
I'm not sure if your Heavenly Thunder Summoning Array is completely feasible, but there should be a fifty percent chance of success.
This Thunder Resistant Battle Armor's Spirit Array is very mysterious. If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to refine the Thunder Resistant Battle Armor. "
"Alright!"
Lu Li was overjoyed. As long as he could make the Thunder-resistant Armor, it didn't matter if the Thunder Bringer could be improved or not.
Being able to withstand the bombardment of lightning, the Heavenly Thunder Bringer was a great weapon for self-defense and killing enemies.
Of course, if the Heavenly Thunder Bringer could be improved, it would be even more perfect.
"Time is of the essence!"
Elder Gu was extremely excited. He waved his hand and said, "Go to the Internal Affairs Hall and get some divine materials. I'll start refining the Thunder-resistant Battle Armor immediately!"
Patriarch Gu wrote out a list and took out his token. Lu Li walked to the Internal Affairs Hall with the token and the list.
The materials on the list were expensive and rare. But since Lu Li had Patriarch Gu's token, the patriarch of the Internal Affairs Hall did not say anything. After all, Patriarch Gu enjoyed a high status in the Chamber of Relics.
Patriarch Gu was already at the Hall of Artifacts when Lu Li returned with all the materials.
Patriarch Gu asked Lu Li to fetch many materials from the Hall of Materials. When everything was ready, Patriarch Gu turned on the largest stove and began to make prototypes.
Making armors was troublesome. There was not just one piece of armor, but several pieces. Even though there were several pieces, they were connected. Therefore, it was troublesome to make them.
Given Lu Li's abilities, he could not even make armors of the lowest level. Therefore, he had to help Patriarch Gu and learn from him at the same time.
Patriarch Gu was skilled in forging artifacts, much better than Qian Huanhan. What was more, Patriarch Gu had a unique way of forging artifacts. His actions were fast and precise. Lu Li was dazzled.
It took him more than half a day to make the prototypes. But the prototypes were beautiful. There were six pieces in total, a helmet, armor, arm guards, and greaves.
The entire set of armor was blue with patterns like dragon scales. It was gorgeous.
"Good!"
Elder Gu nodded slightly and said, "Battle armors made from Extraterrestrial Star Iron are indeed beautiful. This material is very rare and extremely tough. Even if you just inscribe some ordinary defensive arrays on it, this battle armor can become a mid-tier divine artifact."
Patriarch Gu rested for a moment and began to carve the formations. Previously, when he was making Relics, he would carve the formations while he was making the prototypes. This was the first time he was making a Thunder-resistant Armor. He could not afford to be careless.
He did not carve the formations into the armor rashly. Instead, he took out another prototype and began. Two hours later, he said with satisfaction, "It's done. Let's start!"
Patriarch Gu took over the armor and began to carve the formations. Lu Li stood on the side, afraid to make a sound.
Stellar Iron was expensive. The materials needed to make the armor would cost at least hundreds of thousands of Divine Sources. If something went wrong, the materials would be wasted.
This time, it took longer. Eight hours later, Patriarch Gu threw away the Relic armor and said, "This formation is strange. I can't believe … the carving failed!"
"Failed?"
Lu Li was taken aback. Did that mean hundreds of thousands of Divine Sources were wasted?
Patriarch Gu sighed. He stood up and said, "I will take a rest and then reforge. The Stellar Iron is made of a special material. I think it can be used again!"
"It can be used again?"
Lu Li was relieved. It would be a shame to waste hundreds of thousands of Divine Sources if it could not be used again.
Patriarch Gu sat on the spot for an hour. He turned on the stove and threw the Relic armor into the stove to be reforged.
"It can be used again!"
After it was melted back into the furnace, Elder Gu inspected it and nodded slightly. He began to carve the formation again. In the end, six hours later, he threw the armor on the ground and said dejectedly, "I failed again. This Astral Metal is useless.
What exactly went wrong?
This is not right … "
Patriarch Gu murmured. He went back to the backyard and began to study the drawing.
Lu Li threw the abandoned Relic armor back to the Hall of Mystical Materials. He began to study with a frown.
The formation should be fine. Lu Li had thought about it and Patriarch Gu had been studying for a long time. It should be fine.
Since the carving failed twice, then there must be something wrong with the Stellar Iron.
"Stellar Iron?"
Lu Li searched for information about the Stellar Iron. A moment later, he raised his eyebrows. He hurried to the backyard and said, "Master, when you were making the prototype of the Stellar Iron, did you add King of Darkness Powder?"
"No. What's wrong?"
Patriarch Gu shook his head and looked at Lu Li with confusion. Then, he suddenly came to his senses. He patted his head and said, "No wonder, no wonder. I am getting senile. Stellar Iron is of extreme yang and hardness. We do need to add some King of Yin Powder during the forging process to increase the chances of success.
Let's go on! "
