Chapter 144: Sword Pool Forges Swords
Xiahou Zheng watched Mrs. Ao go out without a wave, he knew that Mrs. Ao didn't plan to really ask Zhong Mei to cast a sword for herself at the beginning, at most she would invite Zhong Mei's disciples or something to come, or directly give herself a sword, she just didn't expect that Zhong Mei would really cast a sword for herself in her busy schedule, so she lost her square inch and asked the above question.

"Do you have any special requests?" asked Zhong Mei.
Generally, people who practice martial arts will choose the weapons that suit them, and there are many things to pay attention to when casting, and the details are the essence of casting.
Xiahou Zheng took out the Chiyang sword, handed it to Zhong Mei and said: "I know the master's skills, and I have no opinions to mention in this regard, I am used to using this sword, I only hope that the master can cast according to this sword!"
Zhong Mei took the Chi Yang sword and nodded, "At most, I will cast the sword, and I will notify you to come and get the sword when the time comes, you go out first." ”
"Juniors retire!"
Zhong Mei nodded,
He has a good impression of Xiahou Zheng, he is skilled in martial arts but still humble and polite, unlike Aotian, he has no ability, he thinks that he is the young owner of Sword Villa, and he is arrogant, and no one in the world cares about it.
Zhong Mei walked into the depths of the sword pool, this is where the real sword pool is, more than ten disciples are busy working, Zhong Mei called a disciple and asked him to melt the iron ore.
An hour later, the disciple appeared in front of Zhong Mei again.
"Why, it melted so quickly?" Zhong frowned, if it was completely melted so quickly, it would not be a strange iron at all, and of course, some strange iron with a relatively low melting point could not be ruled out.
"No, Master, I have exhausted all the methods of that stone, and it still has no signs of melting, and when I took it out of the forge I accidentally touched it, it was still cold, and the temperature did not rise much!" the disciple said respectfully, handing the stone to Zhong Mei.
"Oh, interesting!" Zhong Mei took the stone and weighed it, with a hint of interest on his face, and said, "Open the sword pool furnace for me!"
"Master, the peerless sword is still in the sword pool furnace, and it is still some time away from being fully formed, will this affect the peerless sword?" said the disciple worriedly.
There is no room for sloppiness in the process of forging the sword, and if he is not careful, a good sword will be wasted, and his worries are not unreasonable.
Zhong Mei said: "Don't worry, the peerless sword has basically been completed, it doesn't matter if you take it out, put it in the furnace just for cultivation, it won't affect it, go open the furnace!"
"It's the disciple who is too worried!"
"It's a good thing to be careful, let's go open the furnace!"
Zhong Mei stood in front of the sword pond stove, put the stone into the furnace, looked serious, and shouted: "Increase the temperature of the flame!"
Zhong Mei's disciples all know that Zhong Mei has entered the forging, and if there is no accident, he will stay by the furnace every inch until the forging is completed.
Several disciples had already stood in front of the five strange stone platforms, and when they heard this, they all put their palms on the stone platforms, urging their true qi to be injected into the stone platforms.
With the infusion of their true qi, the flames in the furnace soared a little higher, and the color changed to crimson, which was no longer an ordinary flame.
The flame of Baijian Villa is a strange place discovered by the ancestors of the Ao family in the early years, which can lead to the center of the earth, and the ancestors of the Ao family spent a huge price to build a sword pool, which can trigger the fire of the center of the earth and help the swordsmith cast the sword.
The flames soared, and Zhong Mei carefully observed the changes in the stone,
After a moment, he shouted, "Not enough!"
Five more disciples strode forward, this time with their hands on the furnace, urging true qi to pour into the furnace.
A moment later, Zhong Mei himself joined, and he used his true qi to slowly guide all the fires in the center of the earth to gather in one place and use them to melt the stone.
With the movements of Zhong Mei and the others, the stone also underwent some changes, but instead of melting, a small vortex seemed to have formed on the surface, through which all the flames entered the stone, and then disappeared without a trace.
Zhong Mei didn't care at first, as long as there was a change, he was afraid that it wouldn't change at all, so he couldn't study it.
The swirls on the stone slowly grow larger, eventually covering the stone completely.
"Master, look, a peerless sword!" came a disciple's frightened shout from beside him.
Zhong Mei didn't care about scolding his disciples, withdrew his eyes from paying attention to the stone, and turned to the peerless good sword, which was his ancestors and his life's work, and there was no room for error.
At this time, the peerless sword in the furnace was slowly thinking about the tilt of the stone, thinking of the situation when the stone devoured the flames, Zhong Mei was shocked, "Withdraw!"
All the disciples didn't care too much, and hurriedly withdrew their palms, and many disciples suffered from the backlash of their true qi and spit out a large mouthful of blood.
Zhong Mei was also attacked, but he did not choose to flirt, but first closed the passage between the furnace and the center of the earth, and then looked nervously at the furnace.
After the flame in the furnace lost its roots, it gradually extinguished, Zhong Mei breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his head, and turned around to let the disciple take out the strange stone, only to hear the disciple shout again, "Master, peerless sword!"
Zhong Mei turned his head, only to see a phantom image conjured up from the peerless sword and threw it into the stone.
Zhong Mei didn't dare to delay, and immediately ordered his disciples to open the furnace to take stones and swords.
"Master, how about a peerless sword, are you okay?"
Zhong Mei injected his true qi into the peerless good sword, felt it for a while, and then really breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, the sword spirit of the peerless good sword was partially sucked away by this stone, and we can let it recover after a few days, don't worry." ”
"Master, what is this stone, why is it so evil?"
Hearing that the peerless sword was fine, everyone turned their attention to the stone again, and they did not blame the stone, but instead aroused a strong interest, the swordsmith has a natural sense of intimacy with the strange things of sword-casting.
"It was a little friend who gave me a strange iron and asked me to build a sword. ”
The crowd gathered around the stone and began to talk nonsense.
"Master, you said, can this stone be forged into a sword?"
Zhong Mei smiled bitterly: "We can't even melt it, how can we forge a sword?"
"Is there really no way, I can feel that once this stone is cast into a sword, it will definitely not be worse than a peerless good sword!"
"I don't know, but I've tried all the ways to melt it, but none of them can melt it!I have to return it to Xiaoyou, maybe he will one day find a way to forge a sword with it!" Zhong Mei sighed.
"Master, he is not a swordsmith, how can there be a way, or if we leave it, we will definitely find a way!"
"This kind of strange stone is rare in the world, do you think the other party will give it to you?" retorted a disciple, his eyes also fiery as he looked at rock-paper-scissors.
"Then tell him that the stone was destroyed in the process of forging the sword, and give him some compensation!" said another disciple immediately.
As soon as these words came out, the sword pool was silent all of a sudden, and the rest of the people looked at me, I looked at you, and finally their eyes were on the stone in Zhong Mei's hand. (To be continued.) )
