Chapter 1026: Holding the reins and looking down from a high vantage point!
Today’s second update: Chapter 1026! 2/3!
…
Mr. Shu said: "This book outlines the origin of elixirs and how they are formed through alchemy!"
Xu Kun looked happy and looked at other books. They were all books similar to this one that introduced abilities in a certain aspect!
For example: "Introductory Program for Casting", "Fan Fan's Sewing Experience", "One Hundred Thousand Kinds of Medicinal Materials", "Basic Sword Techniques", "On the Practical Application of Fire Element"...
It covers a wide range of aspects, including introductory teaching books on life and professional skills such as casting, alchemy, herb picking, and sewing, as well as various basic books on combat!
And these may be difficult for a normal level 15 person!
But asking Xu Kun to learn this is simply a dimensionality reduction blow!
Especially books on combat and books on casting techniques!
These are for newbies to learn. I am a D-level forger who can forge A-level weapons and master B-level casting skills. I am just a beginner in casting. Isn’t that what I want to know?
The facts were as Xu Kun expected. Who taught him the art of casting?
That is Master Ou Yezi, the third most powerful believer among all races and the first among humans in the foundry world!
With his master's attainments in casting skills, even if he only taught some superficial knowledge, it was far beyond what such a basic theoretical book could compare with!
Not to mention the advanced casting techniques that Xu Kun learned, the many years of experience of an E-level casting master that he inherited from the beginning also exceeds the gold content of these books!
From a high position, Xu Kun quickly browsed through several books on casting items. Not to mention that they were useless, they were simply unsightly!
How can I put it, the content in these books is like a person who does not farm, who compiled some theoretical knowledge on how to farm good land based on what he knows and the collected information!
In practical terms, you can't say what he said is wrong. But for a real casting master who really knows how to farm... ah, no, a real casting master can complete the steps he said in a more labor-saving and faster way. !
Even today's Xu Kun is not yet a true casting master, but he can still put forward some constructive suggestions and even point out some shortcomings based on these basic readings!
Mr. Shu watched Xu Kun flip through the eight casting books and threw them aside with a look of disgust on his face, and asked doubtfully: "Have you finished reading them all?"
Xu Kun picked up the top book "How to Make Pills", and while flipping through it, he replied: "Master, Ou Yezi!"
ah?
Mr. Shu was stunned for a moment, and then he asked curiously: "What about your current casting skills?"
Xu Kun didn't take it seriously and said: "I have forged A-level weapons in a rough way, but my master told me that my current level is not enough. It is best not to rush for a breakthrough in casting skills, but to lay a solid foundation first!"
Mr. Shu was silent for a long time, then the branch swayed, and dozens of books were placed in front of Xu Kun.
Xu Kun was confused: "What does Mr. Shu mean?"
"These are all casting-related books that need to be studied in stages A, B, and C. Since you think these books in the C-level stage are useless, you can read these books together!"
Xu Kun quickly put down the book "How Pills Are Made" in his hand, picked up the study materials given by Mr. Shu in advance and started to chew on them.
Once I saw it, I was hooked!
If the level of the books I just read is too low, even if I master them all, I can only learn D-level casting methods, then these books now are just suitable for Xu Kun at this stage!
Ou Yezi's teaching method is still more practical than theoretical. Originally, most of this method was wild, but based on Ou Yezi's own casting attainments and experience, no matter what method it is, he has found a bright road!
Regarding Xu Kun's teachings, Xu Kun was actually confused in many aspects, precisely because of the lack of corresponding theoretical assistance!
And these dozens of books now just make up for Xu Kun's shortcomings in this area!
However, while Xu Kun read deeply and combined with Ou Yezi's actual operations, he saw some shortcomings in these books!
Casting, after all, is still a job with your hands!
There is a saying that goes like this: My eyes are rulers!
These theoretical books are more based on the public perspective and give some old-fashioned opinions, lacking some innovations!
Take Xu Kun as an example. With the Six Ding Divine Fire and Xing Luo Jiutian he has mastered, he can completely make changes in the way of smelting and forging metals. There is no need to follow the step-by-step process as recorded in the book, which is redundant and cumbersome!
And some of the bad casting methods summarized in the book, and Liu Fuyi's casting method personally taught by Ou Yezi, are even more comparable to the heavens and the earth!
After reading all the casting books, Xu Kun's improvement is not very big, and it can only play a certain supporting role, allowing him to understand the data parameters in certain aspects!
That's all!
"Have you finished reading again?"
Xu Kun nodded.
Mr. Shu didn't believe it and said: "If you thoroughly master these casting books, you will not only have enough theories to reach the level of an A-level caster in the future, but at least in B-level casting, there will be no problem. You..."
In response, Xu Kun spread his hands helplessly: "Master, Ou Yezi!"
Mr. Shu:......
It can only be said that as Ou Yezi is the number one divine craftsman of the human race, what he teaches is not something that ordinary people can understand!
Ordinary low-end and mid-range foundry masters can produce in batches, but this kind of foundry master may not even be able to become a disciple of Ou Yezi... No, even the disciple of Xu Kun's senior brother Gan Jiang can't enter!
Who is Xu Kun? He is Ou Yezi's last disciple!
Ou Yezi has high hopes for him, believing that he can surpass Gan Jiang in the future, and even surpass him, the casting monster who is his master!
Xu Kun's casting skills are stuck at the current level, not because his talent does not allow him to advance, but because he does not have enough time to practice casting. His horizons have long been broadened!
However, after hearing what Mr. Shu said, Xu Kun asked curiously: "Then according to what you said, Mr. Shu, can the casting books in the third stage help me learn the SSS-level casting technique for casting supreme artifacts?"
Mr. Shu:...
After a short silence, he answered Xu Kun's question: "You think too much. SSS-level casting is not something that ordinary people can achieve. If you master all the casting knowledge in Qufu Academy, it is no problem to advance to S-level casting. The SS-level casting technique of the master craftsman level depends on personal talent, opportunity and time..."
Hearing this, Xu Kun shrugged his shoulders. It seems that his master Ou Yezi is the real authority in learning casting!
This also reminded him of what his master said before asking him to come to Qufu Academy!
In terms of professionalism, Yuding knows more than Confucius, but in terms of miscellaneous items, it is necessary to enter Qufu Academy to study!
In the final analysis, the books in Qufu Academy are what Confucius himself knows or collects!
You said that reading can make a saint, but if you say that reading can make a god... that's nonsense!
Because the author who can create a book that can make you a god does not exist yet!
You can master all the knowledge of the entire Qufu Academy, and at best you can become as knowledgeable as Confucius!
And if you want to go to the next level, you have to surpass Confucius!
As the saying goes, the master leads the way, and the practice depends on the individual. Confucius knows a lot of things, enough to teach Xu Kun, but Xu Kun's ability in some aspects may not be matched even by Confucius who transcends Blue Star!
It can be said that Xu Kun's existence is unique!
After this experience with casting books, Xu Kun also started to read those books in the system he is good at!
Like swordsmanship, fire system, thunder system, etc.
The learning process is far less difficult than when Xu Kun was learning the Thousand Characters. As the saying goes, theory is theory after all. When Xu Kun's actual practice has already surpassed the theory by a lot, these theories can only serve as a certain reference. Xu Kun can't even copy them, because that would be a step backward in history!
SS-level self-realized swordsmanship · Qinghui Ye Ning, super strength in various systems including the fire system, which are not these basic books that can teach Xu Kun to face 99% of the 15th-level trialists!
Except for these, the remaining books on elixirs and herbal medicines, Xu Kun learned them at a lightning speed due to his change in mentality!
It only took three days in Qufu Academy for Xu Kun to finish reading all 40 books, including the books on casting A and B stages!
"Mr. Shu, let's start the second test!"
Mr. Shu was a little speechless, but he followed the responsibilities of an NPC and reminded: "Since we are starting from the C-level trial stage, many books are theoretical in nature, so there is no strict full score in the test questions, because there will be some extended additional questions to prove your mastery of knowledge at this stage. As long as the total score can reach full marks, it will be considered a pass!"
Oh, there is such a good thing?
Xu Kun rubbed his hands, looking impatient!
