Chapter 54: The First Smelting

The postponement failed, and Zhong Zihao had to follow Liang Bianyun. On the www.biquge.info way, he learned that Qiu Hong was not only the most outstanding young brother of the Qiu family, but also the future head of the family, no wonder he didn't see himself in his eyes, but Zhong Zihao didn't care about it and smiled.

Because of Qiu Hong's impatience, several people dispersed after eating. Back in the small courtyard, Zhong Zihao ran to the quiet room impatiently, took out the smelting table and some prepared materials, and his eyes flashed with strong sparks.

"Hehe, look at your kid so excited?" Elder Xuan appeared next to him, looked at Zhong Zihao and chuckled.

Zhong Zihao did not deny it: "Elder Xu, what materials do you think I use to refine it first?" ”

"Refining? You kid is thinking about this too simply. The Void Elder shook his head, "Don't refine anything tonight, try to smelt the materials first." It is important to know that whether it is refining or alchemy, in addition to talent, the most important thing is patience and mental endurance not to be afraid of failure, and smelting materials is also an important step in refining. ”

Under Zhong Zihao's slightly disappointed eyes, Elder Xuxu continued: "You are almost familiar with the basic knowledge of refining, but you are not yet proficient in the way of formation, so you have to hurry up and learn it well." ”

The reason why the treasure forged by the master refiner is so powerful, in addition to the quality of the material and the skill of casting, the formation is an important determining factor. It is true that Xu Lao is a master of the formation, but the formation is too vast and profound, even with Zhong Zihao's talent, it has not yet taken two months.

Zhong Zihao reluctantly put other materials into the storage ring, but when his eyes were fixed on the smelting table, the fiery breath in his body couldn't help but come out again. At the thought of being able to use the treasure weapon he had refined to kill the Quartet in the future, he was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth.

Smelting materials is an endurance job, Zhong Zihao first crossed his knees and breathed for half an hour, and only after his mind was completely calmed down did he take out some iron powder and put it into the Dan furnace, and then carefully drove the soul power to observe......

After half a burnt incense time, he excitedly opened the lid of the stove, but heard the voice of the old man: "The fire has passed......

After the failure, he was not discouraged, and after a while of pranayama, he smelted again, and so it took another half an hour......

"It's almost hot!" The voice of the old man sounded again.

Continue smelting......

Fail!

Fail!

Fail!

For a whole day, Zhong Zihao never came out of the quiet room. Although he didn't deliberately rest, he couldn't see the slightest tiredness in his eyes, only excitement and anticipation, mixed with a hint of fortitude and disobedience.

I don't know how many times the smelting has been completed, but the voice of the old man finally changed a little: "It's done, it's okay this time." ”

After destroying nearly twenty materials, Zhong Zihao successfully melted the first iron powder, but even so, Elder Xu said that this level was only average. Although Xu Lao said this, he still recognized it in his heart, thinking that when he tried to melt it for the first time, he wasted nearly thirty materials before he succeeded.

It was not easy to barely reach the minimum standard of virtual age, Zhong Zihao couldn't take a break, and then beat the embryo.

Hammering the embryo is an important means and process to remove impurities, this step can not be tricked, can only rely on more trials to achieve practice makes perfect, and can only go through thousands of tempered embryos, in order to forge the best weapon.

"Ding! Bite! Ding ...... "It wasn't until it got dark the next day that the old man couldn't bear it, so he let him rest."

In fact, in principle, the first step of smelting materials, the heat is not too big, the most suitable heat is also to prepare for the tempering of the embryo, and some experienced refiners can make up for it in the second step of hammering the embryo. It's just that the old man said differently: a good refiner, there can be no mistake in any link or step, and only by being strict with himself can he forge the best treasure.

For several days, Zhong Zihao didn't go out, and after beating the embryo for six or seven days, he was completely proficient in the basic movements. Looking at the dozen or so hammered embryos on the ground, Zhong Zihao shook his head and smiled bitterly: People say that learning to refine tools has to be tempered a thousand times, but a few embryos on the ground, it is estimated that any one of them is more than a thousand hammers, right?

But what made him very happy was that the aura fluctuations that were still overflowing after being promoted to the third order of Juyuan had stabilized after two or three days of beating the embryo. It seems that the refining weapon also helps the cultivation of Yuan Li, and this discovery can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

Once the embryo is complete, the final critical step remains: the machine! That is, with some auxiliary materials, the embryo is smelted again and then opened, so that the weapon can be formed.

Similarly, in this crucial step, it took Zhong Zihao nearly three days to complete a work that was barely approved by the Void Elder, and it could only be regarded as an ordinary weapon, not even a primary spiritual weapon.

There is no way, who let Zhong Zihao not even get started in the formation so far? For a weapon to become a high-grade treasure, it must be integrated into the formation; You can't have the grade of a treasure weapon without relying on formation, unless you use high-quality materials and superb skills. But for Zhong Zihao now, the superb skills have not yet been mastered, so how can he waste high-quality materials for trial?

"It seems that the study of the formation has to hurry up." Zhong Zihao muttered.

After refining for more than ten days, Zhong Zihao finally walked out of the small courtyard and prepared to go to Shaotai City to take a stroll, find some materials he needed by the way, and see how much his efforts were worth in the past ten days.

Not long after arriving at Qianxun Pavilion, he successfully exchanged his "achievements" for payment, but after getting his hands, Zhong Zihao frowned again. The weapons that took so long to refine, not to mention anything else, only the wasted materials, if you calculate it carefully, it is estimated that it is more than two thousand taels of silver.

After walking around for half a circle, he also found a few materials that he needed, but he couldn't withstand the extremely expensive price for him. couldn't bear to spend the reward he had worked hard for more than ten days so quickly, Zhong Zihao left Qianxun Pavilion.

"Brother Gongsun, do you see it? The fat sheep we missed last time reappeared. In a corner, a man in his thirties smiled grimly.

"How could you not notice him? Last time, the fat sheep ran away, but I was worried about it for several days, and this time...... Hehe, but I didn't expect this kid to dare to come forward, so let's follow. Another man about the same age in Tsing Yi replied.

"Don't you have to wait for the Zou brothers?" The man who spoke earlier frowned.

The man in Tsing Yi seemed to hesitate for a moment before he said, "It's okay, let's go do this deal first and then come back, it's a big deal to let them wait for a while." Even if those two people have good strength, in front of us, they are all newcomers. ”

"Okay!"

As soon as the two left, two burly young men with extremely similar looks appeared, and one of them actually had a broken arm and a gloomy face. The other person stared at the backs of the two people in front of him, and said suspiciously: "It seems that Brother Gongsun and they have something to do in a hurry and left directly." Big brother, what should we do? ”

"Let's go along and have a look, and help if you have something. After all, we have just arrived in the Black Wind Gang, and it is necessary to build a good relationship with everyone. The man with the broken arm decided after a little consideration.

Walking only three hundred zhang away, Zhong Zihao felt that something was wrong, as if the two flies that he threw off last time came with him again: "Hmph, I avoided you last time because I didn't want to cause trouble, but I didn't want to bully, since you can't find it comfortable, then don't blame me for being polite." Immediately, Zhong Zihao walked through the middle of nowhere.

After a stick of incense, Zhong Zihao has moved away from the crowded area, and he is getting more and more deviated. After another tea time, he had reached a dense forest, and he suddenly stopped and waited in place.

After more than a dozen breaths, two men in their thirties appeared, one straddled the broadsword diagonally, and the other held a pair of meteor hammers in his hand. The two of them walked leisurely, but the lewd smile on their lips ruined the atmosphere at this time, otherwise anyone would think that they were strolling by the lake?

"It's really hard for the two of you to follow so far." Zhong Zihao smiled.

"Hahaha! Brother Gongsun, this fat sheep is very interesting, isn't it? ”

"I just wonder if he'll be so interesting in a while?" The man in Tsing Yi replied. After speaking, he said to Zhong Zihao: "Boy, I only wanted you to hand over the valuable things on your body, but last time you ran away, it made the uncle unhappy for several days, so I have to let you leave at least one leg today." ”

Zhong Zihao's face remained unchanged, he watched the two of them walk slowly, and spoke again: "Thinking about robbing others all day long, you have to be prepared to be robbed." "The two people on the opposite side have a third-order Juyuan and a second-order Juyuan, and this kind of cultivation level is not even a trouble for him at this time. Of course, the other two may think the same way.

"Haha, the kid is quite rampant. Brother Gongsun, which of us will take ......" Before the words were finished, the two of them shot at the same time. Because Zhong Zihao had already approached them at great speed, and the aura emanating from his body made both of them aware of a trace of danger.

"Bang!"

The distance of ten zhang flashed, so that the man with the long knife had not yet slashed out the knife, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then flew out two zhang away, and gasped for breath after landing on the ground.

The man known as "Brother Gongsun" had a bit of buffer time, and the meteor hammer came out of his hand, smashing it at Zhong Zihao up and down, aiming at the latter's left chest and dantian respectively. It can be seen that this person must be a ruthless person, and he will make a decisive move and make a fatal move.

"Khooth!" The Qingfeng sword was unsheathed, and the meteor hammer in the chest was smashed with a single sword, and then Youyun stepped out, dodging to the left side of the "Gongsun Brother", and in the surprised gaze of the other party, the Qingfeng sword had been inserted into his left arm, and then kicked him to the ground.

It's a long story, but it's just two breaths.

To say that even if these two people were not Zhong Zihao's opponents, they would not have been defeated so quickly, mainly because they saw each other's cultivation of the first order of the Yuan Dynasty, which should have been the object of their play, so it was caused by carelessness. The other is that the "prey" will strike first, which is completely unexpected.

But after all, Zhong Zihao is not a person who takes people's lives indiscriminately, although the two are hateful, they are not enemies of life and death, and it is not his will to take people's lives at every turn. The second-order martial artist of Juyuan was knocked away, but he suffered a lot of internal injuries; And the "Gongsun Brother" of the third order of Juyuan wanted to leave him with one leg because of his vicious words, which injured the former's left arm.

Zhong Zihao didn't care about the horror in the hearts of the two, and stepped forward to accept the two storage rings unceremoniously, which was regarded as a punishment for their evil thoughts, and it was also regarded as a reward for doing it himself.
