"Ugh.. my head hurts a bit.", said the waking up little Ihan as he clenched his head.
"Huh?, oh I slept in my room yesterday...", glanced little Ihan around him confused a bit as to why he slept in his room yesterday but quickly looked it over, all he remembered was that he was a bit scared and tired yesterday and wanted to sleep here.
He throws the matter behind and quickly thought and remembered that today he would try and become a Disciple Crafter, he jumped off the bed in this luxury bedroom oh his, which he didn't often sleep in, and was as good as new he thought how this might be his last time sleeping in it and felt a bit sad but that was just some small thoughts and wouldn't affect whatsoever from becoming a Disciple Crafter and leaving with his Master.
After washing and changing he had breakfast with his parents and told them what his master promised, they were both happy and sad since not had Dion left but now their 4 years old would leave them as well but they knew how a genius of child little Ihan was and they would by no means stop him from showing his talent and becoming someone great in the future, so they just wish him good luck then told him they believed in him and he would succeed.
He first strolled to the library took the magic formations book and re-read the whole book to make sure he didn't miss anything after an hour passed he was ready to take his first step into reaching the Disciple Crafter Realm.
In front of his master's villa he knocked the door and entered after hearing him master's consent, he found his master studying an ancient reddish paper and he was enfolding it when little Ihan got in.
"Let me guess little Ihan, you are here to try becoming a Disciple Crafter, right ?", said Urna without much surprise as he already was becoming used to his disciple shocking actions.
"Yes master, I understood all the rest of Disciple Crafter magic formations and I am sure I can succeed in crafting them.", said little Ihan confidence filled his voice and with an earnest expression filling his voice.
"Hoh we'll see about that, alright let's not waste any time I know that you are eager to craft the Disciple Crafter magic formations so let's go to the study room and try.", said Urna as he couldn't help but smile seeing the confidence and excitement written all over this disciple of his.
They went to the study room and little Ihan stood there respectfully waiting for his master command.
"Which magic formations do you want to make first ?", asked Urna as sat crosslegged in the center of the study room while signaling to little Ihan to sit in front of him.
"Master I will start with a protection magic formation of pure Life Energy the 'LightGuard' magic formation.", little Ihan sat down and replied Ihan with a decisive voice, even tho he was confident this was still his first time trying to craft a Disciple Crafter magic formation so he thought he should start with an easier one.
"Hoh good choice, one cannot be too arrogant especially for us Crafters we require carefulness and also thinking in our crafts.", said Urna satisfied with his disciple answer, he wasn't going to let him craft harder magic formations but instead easier ones.
Swoosh
"Alright here is everything you need, I've prepared more than enough for you so don't worry about failure, if you fail I'll point it out to you and you can try it again.", said Urna as he lifted his hand and swooped over the ground and the ingredients appeared on the empty ground filling it.
"Yes Master!", replied little Ihan then started his crafting.
He first picked 2 magic talisman papers and the bottle of Life Fluid and the brush then started by writing the LightGuard magic formation as he remembered it, it required 2 paper of writing one paper carried the work to defend with an external barrier and the second paper worked to defend with an internal one making it block a full all-out attack from 1 first-level pure Life Core Realm cultivators but only half block the attack of first level Secondary-Life Energy which was good enough of a feat for the weak pure Life Energy as one could keep his life with an injury.
After he wrote the magic formation on the 2 papers that took him 2 hours for each one, and by no means were these magic formations simple to draw, it was filled with a lot of weird shapes and characters, and each of these were intersected with each other also the 2 hours were just because of little Ihan efficiency with his super good photographic memory that let him remember stuff once he saw them once, when the magic formations were finished it was the time to charge them with enough Life Energy for them to operate and this was a tedious process as it required full concertation and precision in positioning the 10 Low-Tier Life Energy Stone for both the 2 magic formations.
The magic formations were simple in the way they worked, first one needed to make sure the magic formation was drawn without a single hair of line mistake somewhere then it needed to be charged with Energy according to the type of the magic formation since little Ihan crafted the pure Life Energy one, all he needed to do was position the Life Energy Stones in the so-called 'meridian openings' of the magic formation then if it got charged he would succeed if not then the Energy would go chaotic and cause some damage to the crafter or the place it was crafted in, the meridian openings were the points where Energy entered the magic formation and charged it from, they often were in the shape of a circle or a door well at least most of the times.
The Life Energy started flowing from the Life Energy Stones inside the 2 magic formations and it looked like everything was going according to the instructions little Ihan read, his Master Urna was on full guard mode and would take actions immediately if anything went wrong although this wouldn't heart him at all it would still hurt little Ihan.
Buzz
The magic formations kept going with a buzzing sound and the Life Energy Stones kept losing their white color and turned grey before turning into dust and the magic formations finally finished, yes he succeeded in crafting them first try, well if you consider how he could remember everything from the first glance and even understand the concept then it would be weird if he failed especially with a Logic Soul of a False-God which would be an insult to all False-Gods if he failed even tho nor little Ihan nor his Master knew about this.
All he needed was the last step of gluing the magic formations empty side to each other using Life Fluid and that wasn't something that could affect the success, last time he had improved the simple Craft Seeker magic formations but that was because of how simple the circuit was, but this time he couldn't improve such a complex circuit he was still a young kid after all.
"Master please!", said little Ihan barely keeping the excitement and shout of joy in his mouth as he handed the LightGuard magic formation to his master to check them.
"Hahaha Very Good, I believed you would do it first try and you didn't let me down, good disciple!", laughing and checking the LightGuard Urna said with delight.
"Come you just need to finish 2 more before becoming a Disciple Crafter, which formation do you want to do next ?", asked Urna delightfully.
"I will make 'Fire Serpent' and 'Ice Blade' magic formations of the attack type.", said little Ihan without much thought he just liked their names, and his child imagination run wild imagining what they looked like when activated.
"Alright let's first start with Fire Serpent then we'll go with Ice Blade after.", replied Urna making the ingredients appear out of nowhere again.
The Secondary-Life Energy magic formations were a bit trickier since the amount of damage and power released depended on what was used in the charging process, one could use some low energy type from an Ice Flower or top-tier energy source like a beast core, and of course, it was processed into a Secondary-Life Energy by purifying it and mixing it with Life Fluid then making congeal and condense into a crystal or core or whichever shape one needed and everything afterward was simple by just positioning the energy source in the meridian openings of the magic formation and letting it charge the said magic formation, although Urna gave a low energy source this time which was fire energy crystals made from a herb called Fire Lotus since this was little Ihan first time if he failed with good source energy not only would it be a waste but also dangerous for him.
Little Ihan started like last time by drawing the Fire Serpent magic formation but this one required only one, the shape of the drawing was like that of a snake pattern and then was filled with more complex shapes that made the LightGuard magic formation look simple, it was done in an hour and a half after which little Ihan took the fire crystals and positioned them carefully and backed away then let it charge, still being a little anxious because no matter how good of a memory he had he still needed to have the good hands of a crafter and if his master heard this he would've died from shock, but fortunately little Ihan succeeded yet again.
Master Urna couldn't be any happier than he already was and if he wasn't told he would've got up and hugged little Ihan and danced from joy since he knew how much Craft Seekers failed and when they succeeded it took them from at least 6 hours to 10 hours to make just one magic formation and to not mess up the drawing process, this already put little ihan as a master above masters from his delicate and accurate drawing techniques, not to add his positioning techniques were no less than his drawings they were extremely accurate and good.
Immediately after little started the last magic formation he didn't even rest and refused him master care, he wanted to first succeed and count as a Disciple Crafter then he could relax, the Ice Blade was drawn with thin lines and wasn't as confusing and complex as the Fire Serpent it ended in 1 hour then charged with low energy crystals made from a herb called Ice Flowers, of course, he succeeded again without much trouble and he stood up jumping from joy but all the tiredness from the tension he kept inside his body shot out and drowned him in dizziness and he almost fell but Master Urna caught him and placed a small bottle in his mouth and told him to drink it and sleep before carrying him to the living room and letting him rest after all he was still a young kid.
He had finally succeeded in becoming a Disciple Crafter.
