"Forget it, get up, I'm not blaming you." Lin Muyu raised his hand, and the pressure of the Holy Realm surged, forcibly lifting Wei Miao's body up.
Just when he finished about 20% of the engraving pattern, a subtle echo came from the pattern, which made Lin Muyu excited. The engraving pattern seemed to have a life of its own, resonating with his King's Battle Flame. This should be a good thing, right?
At night, the Ze Tian Palace's library was brightly lit. Lin Muyu searched for a long time, and almost flipped through all the books on engraving in the library. Among them, there were a few books that seemed to be worth studying, namely "Engraving Theory", "Engraving Technique Essentials", and "Engraving Formation Illustration". These books should be enough for beginners.
When the engraving crystal covered the Imperial Fire Seal, the crystal shone brightly, and the number on the top jumped violently, finally stopping at 32.
At the side, Qin Yin slowly woke up, and when she turned around, she saw Lin Muyu's handsome face, and couldn't help but smile sweetly: "Good morning, Big Brother Yu."
Tang Xiaoxi and Qin Yin were so shocked that their little mouths were wide open. Although they knew that Lin Muyu was talented, to be able to complete the 87% Imperial Fire Seal in one night was too shocking!
"Is that so?"
Wei Miao hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I … I know I was wrong …"
Lin Muyu threw the armor behind him, and when he turned around, he was shocked. There were more than a hundred Royal Guards armors piled up behind him, most of them were scraps, and a few were successful products.
But there were many types of engraving, from level 1 to level 7, the engraving became more and more profound. From the book "Engraving Theory", Lin Muyu knew the power of engraving. Level 5 Dragon Slayer Seal provided the armor with dragon armor for defense, level 6 Imperial God Seal provided the armor wearer with a certain degree of immunity, and level 7 God Slayer Seal provided the armor wearer with a strong divine power resistance. This also meant that a God State expert wearing armor with the God Slayer Seal would have a huge advantage over a God State expert of the same strength!
Qin Yin was silent, and added a piece of meat for Lin Muyu, and said with a smile: "If you want to learn engraving, you must first eat your fill."
"En."
But at the moment, Lin Muyu could only be considered an engraving apprentice, so he could only start from level 1.
Lin Muyu was overjoyed, it seemed that he really had a talent for engraving. The spiritual connection between him and the Imperial Fire Seal must be what Wei Miao was talking about, and his King's Combat Flame was much stronger than Wei Miao's True Qi. Only by engraving an 87% perfect engraving could he be worthy of his rank as a Holy King!
"Thank you, Xiao Yin!" Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile.
…
Lin Muyu opened his palm. After an entire night of engraving, although he was physically and mentally exhausted, the King's Combat Flame surging between his fingers actually had a more soft feeling, which made him extremely happy. The King's Combat Flame was very fierce, but it was definitely not the most powerful force. A true expert should be able to control and release it at will, and now that one night of engraving seemed to have improved his ability to control and release it at will. Just like what the ancient books said, engraving itself was a form of cultivation, and it was not a waste of time.
Tang Xiaoxi opened the cabinet at the side, and took out a special crystal machine, and said: "This is an engraving crystal, it can test the degree of perfection of engraving, come and try it."
"Okay!"
"Pa …"
The next morning, a ray of morning light shone on the table in the library, and Lin Muyu slowly put down the armor in his hand. After embedding the ice crystal, the Imperial Cold Seal was activated, and the testing crystal showed a number of 93%. Tsk tsk, 93% perfection, it was almost there!
"Success!" Qin Yin was overjoyed, and she was even happier than when she completed a masterpiece.
Qin Yin smiled and said: "It's okay, let the Ministry of Works forge it again. I heard that behind a successful Divine Sealer … there are at least tens of thousands of failed products …"
Lin Muyu was extremely embarrassed.
"Good morning, Xiao Yin."
They had lunch in the Chamber of Commerce, and Wei Miao, Zhang Zhao, Sun Jing, and the other engravers also had lunch together. When Lin Muyu showed great interest in engraving, Jin Xiaotang smiled and asked: "Big Brother Yu also wants to learn engraving?"
According to the Engraving Formation Manual, there were four main types of engraving: Imperial Fire Seal, Imperial Wind Seal, Imperial Cold Seal, and Imperial Thunder Seal. As the name suggested, it was used to resist the power of various types of laws, and the power of these four types of engraving was provided by red agate, sapphire, ice crystal, and purple crystal. Although these gems were expensive, they were not considered rare.
Shangguan Jingyue smiled gently and said: "Yes, the imperial guard armor in the Ze Tian Palace Hall is almost used up by you, Sir!"
The two beauties actually quietly leaned over the table at the side and fell asleep. Lin Muyu did not disturb them. She only took two blankets from Shangguan Jingyue, the Empress's female official, and gently covered Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi with them so that they would not catch a cold. After that, she continued to focus on her "engraving career."
Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi did not expose their identities in front of the engravers, but when Lin Muyu said "Xiao Yin", Wei Miao, Sun Jing, and the rest more or less guessed something. When they faintly felt that this talented and radiant beauty in front of them could possibly be the empress, Qin Yin, all of them suddenly felt a little uneasy. They did not dare to touch the dishes in front of the empress and could only eat the plate in front of them. The pitiful Wei Miao had no choice but to finish the plate of cucumber with mashed garlic in front of him.
At this moment, the arrogance on Wei Miao's face appeared again. He held his chopsticks and said, "Commander Yu is a martial artist, and his attainment in martial arts is naturally far superior to others. However, the art of engraving is about the unity of the heart and the hand. Any slight deviation will result in failure. I'm afraid it will not be easy for Commander Yu to learn."
Tang Xiaoxi said happily, "Although it is only a level one engraving, it is more than 80% perfect. Basically, this piece of work can be sold for more than 1,000 Jinyin dollars in Lanyan City!"
"It's broken?" Qin Yin's eyes widened as she stood guard at the side.
This time, he completed the Imperial Fire Seal in one go. When the red agate was embedded, a fiery red mystical formation faintly appeared. He used the testing crystal to check, and this time, the number jumped out to 87%!
"Cough, cough …"
Therefore, he continued to study the Imperial Wind Seal, the Imperial Cold Seal, and the Imperial Thunder Seal.
Suddenly, a corner of the mystical formation collapsed.
Lin Muyu carefully flipped through the records of the Imperial Fire Seal and found that the engraving depth should be 0.07 centimeters. Obviously, his engraving depth was only 0.05 centimeters, which was far from enough. Thus, he took another armor and continued to try to engrave the Imperial Fire Seal.
…
At midnight, Lin Muyu had already broken seven or eight armors, but he did not give up. His face was full of sweat, and Qin Yin helped him wipe it off and accompanied him patiently.
Taking out a Royal Guard armor, Lin Muyu began to study. Following the illustration in the book, he used a small engraving knife to carefully copy the Imperial Fire Seal's mystical formation. Wisps of King's Battle Flame seeped into the mystical formation along the small knife. This was what Wei Miao had said, "Mind and Soul as One". When engraving, one must inject one's own energy, otherwise, one would not be able to activate the engraving mystical formation.
"So expensive?"
"Of course." Tang Xiaoxi chuckled, "This means that the perfection of this Imperial Fire Seal is 32%. Normally, engraving less than 50% is a failure … Mu, there must be a problem with the technique and the depth of the engraving."
"Wei Miao!" Tang Xiaoxi's pretty face turned cold, and she said, "Watch your words. The person talking to you is the Empire's General Lin Muyu, not some manservant working in the Chamber of Commerce."
"Does it mean that it's very strong?" Lin Muyu asked carefully.
Encouraged by the noble empress's little girlfriend, Lin Muyu continued to concentrate on the engraving knife, and continued to engrave the Imperial Fire Seal. The Imperial Fire Seal was one of the simplest engraving techniques. If one could not even master the Imperial Fire Seal, then there was no need to mention the more advanced engraving formations. Jin Xiaotang smiled.
Jin Xiaotang smiled. "The engraving masters in our Chamber of Commerce can teach you!"
"Yes, I have this thought." Lin Muyu nodded.
"Yes! The armor you are wearing is Wei Miao's work, and the perfection of the two layers of engraving is only 67% and 72%. "
"Yes …" Lin Muyu looked ashamed.
Moreover, the King's Fighting Flame was far stronger than the Qi used by Wei Miao, Zhang Zhao, and the others. Logically speaking, the engraving of the King's Fighting Flame should be stronger than Wei Miao's and the others'.
Lin Muyu was not in a hurry. She engraved the metal on the armor one by one, and the engraving knife was wrapped in the King's Fighting Flame. Finally, a perfect circular Imperial Fire Seal was completed, and there was a faint red light enshrouding it. When a red agate was inserted into it, the engraving formation immediately let out a whooshing sound, and strands of energy flowed from the red agate into the engraving formation!
"It's fine." Qin Yin giggled, and she handed over another armor. "There are many armors in the Royal Guards. Brother Yu, don't rush. Take it slow, and you will succeed eventually."
"Yes."
Lin Muyu raised an eyebrow, and said, "Young Master Wei, is the engraving that profound?"
She seemed to have gotten used to the days when Lin Muyu was by her side, and she only wished to see him when she opened her eyes every morning.
"So many …" He said in shock.
The principle of engraving was very simple. Engrave the required Profound Formation on the flat metal, and then insert a gem to provide energy for the Profound Formation. This way, the Profound Formation would naturally be activated.
"Of course." Wei Miao said proudly, "Our Wei Clan has focused on engraving for dozens of generations, but there are very few true Master Engravers. I have practiced engraving for almost twenty years, but I am only an Engraving Guide. Commander, you are busy with other matters, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to calm down. It will not be good if you give up halfway."
"No … Impossible … Close to 90% perfection …" Qin Yin looked at him with surprise and joy, "Yu, you must be a genius, or else how could you …"
