Chapter 1683: 1683
Lu Li did not intend to the correct the Highlord Demitrian’s three views . He wasn’t familiar with the Orcs anyways . He just watched as the Spirit Casting technique was used .

“What do you think of my collection?” Highlord Demitrian seemed quite content with it .
It was large in number, and was also quite diverse . All the items he had collected over the years were stored here . There were some that had been obtained only after fighting tooth and nail to defeat a very powerful monster .
“Well, there is quite a lot . ”
That was all Lu Li could say about it .
He didn’t want to deliberately offend the NPC, but he also didn’t want to flatter him baselessly . There were quite a lot of different souls here – after all, it was the collection of a Spirit Casting master .
However, there were many souls that were very low levelled . From the players’ perspective, these were just ordinary monsters . The better ones were just Elite monsters, which was still quite bad .
“Well, I guess I am too timid . I fear death too much to provoke stronger beings,” Highlord Demitrian said with a wry smile . “The one time I had the courage to fight something stronger, I ran into the Wind Wielder, the son of Al’akir .
“That is just bad luck,” Lu Li agreed .
“Even a powerful prince of the wind does not wield a Demi-God weapon . It seems like there is no hope left for me in this life either . I hope you can carry forwards the art of Spirit Casting . If you make a Demi-God item one day, please let me see it . Then, I will know that taking you as a disciple was not in vain,” Highlord Demitrian said .
“I will not let you down,” Lu Li promised, overjoyed .

The System then prompted him to learn Spirit Casting . This artform had three skills . The first was Soul Collection, which could be used after killing a target . There was a certain probability that the target’s soul would be captured .
But why was it chanced based? Lu Li instantly felt like this Soul Collection skill would be very difficult for him .
The second skill was the core skill, which was simply called Spirit Casting . It could inject a soul into a piece of equipment as it was being produced . It was also worth mentioning that this process had a certain probability as well .
In addition to general luck, there were a number of factors that would affect the probability in positive and negative ways . These involved the materials, the technique of the player and so on .
There was also a skill called Soul Synthesis, which combined two or more souls into a more powerful soul . This was also chance based, and was affected by the compatibility of the two souls .
If it was the soul of an Orc being merged with a human soul, the process would definitely fail .
“This is something that our Spirit Casting master has passed down . It has sealed countless souls . I thought I would seal myself in one day, but now that it belongs to you, let me find death in peace . ”
Highlord Demitrian was rubbing a badge as he spoke, before reluctantly giving it to Lu Li .
Spirit Casting Badge (Special): All Attributes +200: Spirit Casting Success Rate +50%, Soul Collection Success Rate +30%, Soul Synthesis Success Rate +30% . Exclusive item for Spirit Casting players . Durability 400/400 .
Lu Li let out a long sigh of relief .

After learning about the Spirit Casting skills, he had been quite embarrassed . Why were they all chanced based events? Lu Li was always unfortunate when it came to these .
He had already mentally prepared himself for the worst .
If the success rate was low, it just meant that he had to do more grinding . Since he was fighting stronger and stronger monsters, there were plenty of opportunities for him to collect and synthesise souls .
He would have been happy for one to succeed for each 100 attempts .
However, he didn’t expect that this stingy master would actually give him such a valuable item, one that would directly increase his success rate .
In fact, Lu Li thought that the Spirit Casting skills now had a reasonable success rate . There was nothing out there that had 100% success rate anyway . However, before long, he would find out why Highlord Demitrian, a great Spirit Casting teacher, would be enslaved by the winds .
After passing Spirit Casting onto Lu Li, Azure Sea Breeze also gained some equipment and the quest was now complete .
Azure Sea Breeze wanted to show off his new weapon to someone else and Lu Li couldn’t wait to try this great Spirit Casting technique . Neither of the two brothers planned to stay in that place, so both rushed off to do their own thing .
Lu Li wasn’t someone who would bite off more than he could chew . He didn’t think immediately think that he would try to kill Ragnaros the Firelord to capture his soul . He had to become proficient at the three skills he had learnt first . This was equivalent to starting in a new Trade Skill .
As such, he travelled to the Novice Village to find a Shadowmaw Panther .

There was a bit of a ruckus with the team responsible for regulating the game . They weren’t sure if there was anything wrong with Spirit Casting being triggered now, even though it was intended to be discovered a bit later . All they could really do was contact the company .
“Spirit Casting has been discovered by the players . ”
This simple statement was enough gain to attention of the higher-ups .
“How did this happen so quickly?! I thought the triggering condition was very difficult . Which professional NPC triggered the quest?”
The design director responsible for Dawn was the last to enter . In a room filled with design experts, it was only now that they found the courage to speak up .
“Highlord Demitrian!” the team leader stood up and reported .
“Isn’t that the Thunderfury Quest NPC?” Isn’t that the hardest one to trigger? Whose luck was that good?” the design director asked with widened eyes .
Highlord Demitrian was a quest NPC that issued cyclic quests .
This kind of NPC would have its memory reset in various stages, so you couldn’t just farm it . It wasn’t even clear that you could learn Spirit Casting from him .
“It was Lu Li,” the team leader answered helplessly . “We thought he was locked in because he was doing the Thunderfury quest . ”
“Oh, so he completed the Thunderfury quest?” the director asked curiously .
“Yes, he completed it . Azure Sea Breeze now has the first Thunderfury . ”
The monitoring team wasn’t allowed to play given their restrictions, but they were still obsessed with the game . As such, they understood the value of Thunderfury more than ordinary players .
The director began to give his advice .
“It is a little faster than we expected . See if you can increase the difficulty of the Thunderfury Quest . Not all Thunderfuries are Epic equips, right?”
“Director, now is not the time to discuss this . Spirit Casting is the problem . Aren’t you worried about the spreading of Epic equipment or even a Demi-God item? They are only at level 60 right now!”
One of the teams couldn’t hold it in any longer . Thunderfury was indeed an exquisite item, but it was too difficult to acquire so it wouldn’t affect game balance .
Spirit Casting was different . It could produce a lot of Epic equipment .
“There is nothing to worry about . If it was Remnant Dream, I would be losing sleep . As for Lu Li, let him try his best,” the design director yawned, clearly indicating his disagreement .
