Chapter 78: Ball
Xiao Zhantian continued:
"No matter how strange it is, we can't verify it, that secret realm was destroyed a thousand years ago. There are very few things left behind, and this cyan ore is one of the few that remains. ”
Zhang Yang nodded, he decided to just record all the information Xiao Zhantian said for the time being, and then go back and wait for the opportunity to study the truth, now the focus is still on the cyan ore in front of him.
"And what's the name of this cyan ore?"
"Lapis Lazuli, but it's just our own name, and no one knows what the people who once lived in that secret realm call it. ”
This sentence made Zhang Yang particularly concerned, and "the person who once lived in that secret realm" also made Zhang Yang doubt the nature of the secret realm again.
Zhang Yang shook his head secretly and refocused on the ore in front of him.
From the appearance, it can be seen that this lapis lazuli is in the state of just a metal ingot, which can be used to cast weapons.
Considering his current fighting style and the battle scenarios he might encounter, Zhang Yang decided to cast this lapis lazuli into a moderately sized metal block.
For the appearance, considering the lethality, Zhang Yang felt that the appearance of thistle terrestris was very good.
After saying this idea, Xiao Zhantian smiled:
"You're really lacking in virtue. You can even come up with this shape......"
Zhang Yang wanted to defend himself, but Xiao Zhantian didn't give him a chance to defend himself, and he also denied his idea, saying:
"After the power and speed have exceeded a limit, the form and shape of the weapon no longer have much meaning. You should have known this for a long time. ”
Zhang Yang was entangled for a while, nodded and said:
"Okay, let's cast a few lapis balls, this is always okay, right?"
Xiao Zhantian nodded with a smile, and then said:
"It's a pity that no one in our Ping'an Town can melt lapis lazuli. ”
"Huh?" Zhang Yang didn't believe it: "Why? Isn't there even earth fire in the Xiao family's refining workshop, how can there be no way to smelt lapis lazuli?"
"If it's easy to cast, how much more can this lapis lazuli be worth? Don't you still understand this simple truth?" Xiao Zhantian said as he smiled heartily.
Zhang Yang was depressed for a while, and then felt that Xiao Zhantian was laughing so exaggerated and so dissolute.
It seems that this old guy has a careful mind!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang held up the lapis lazuli and said:
"Master, help me forge a few lapis balls!"
Pretending to be well-behaved, maliciously selling cute! Zhang Yang commented on himself in his heart.
However, Xiao Zhantian smiled very happily, and he didn't know what this old man had in mind. He said:
"Very good, then the teacher will help you cast a few lapis balls. ”
After a pause, Xiao Zhantian said again:
"But you also have to be careful, it's easy to talk about anything near Ping'an Town, but if you want to go outside, you should try not to mention that I am your master. ”
Zhang Yang subconsciously wanted to ask why, but looking at Xiao Zhantian's face, it was estimated that he would not get any clear answer if he asked, so it was better to pretend not to know.
After that, Xiao Zhantian took the lapis lazuli, and then took Zhang Yang to the Xiao family's refining workshop, with the heat of the earth fire, Xiao Zhantian dragged the lapis lazuli in the palm of his hand, and said:
"Remember, the focus of melting lapis lazuli is not the temperature, if you understand and master everything about lapis lazuli, then even a small flame with only an oil lamp can be cast on it, but if you don't understand and master, then even if you have the fire essence of the earth's core!"
Zhang Yang didn't know what the Earth Core Fire Spirit was, but he thought that it should be some kind of high-temperature flame needed for forging.
"So, strictly speaking, this process is not called casting, but construction. ”
Holding the lapis lazuli in his hand, Xiao Zhantian continued:
"Look at the surface of the lapis lazuli, right there. ”
After reminding Zhang Yang, Xiao Zhantian stopped talking.
And in the center of this piece of lapis lazuli, there is a small depression like a sand nest floating slowly. It's like a quicksand vortex in the desert, constantly moving, constantly pulling the surrounding lapis lazuli into this vortex.
As this small vortex continued to move, Zhang Yang found that the lapis lazuli in the form of a cuboid was rapidly shrinking, and below the lapis lazuli, a spherical bulge was slowly increasing.
After nearly an hour, this lapis lazuli in a cuboid state completely turned into a lapis lazuli, the size of which is larger than a basketball.
At this time, Xiao Zhantian slowly exhaled a breath and asked:
"How big are the lapis balls you need?"
Zhang Yang had already thought about it and said:
"Divide this into eighteen points, and don't force it. ”
Xiao Zhantian rolled his eyes, and then refocused.
As Zhang Yang expected, the whole lapis lazuli ball as a whole was divided into eighteen points at the same time, and then rolled and rubbed against each other, and soon formed eighteen lapis lazuli balls of the same size and smooth surface as a mirror.
The size of these eighteen lapis balls is about the same as Zhang Yang's fist, and the weight is slightly lighter than the iron balls of the same size, but the difference is not too big.
And then. Xiao Zhantian shook his hand and threw eighteen balls at Zhang Yang at the same time, and then Zhang Yang hurriedly ran all over the house.
Xiao Zhantian laughed when he saw it.
Zhang Yang pursed his lips and said:
"Master, you can laugh for a while, don't keep laughing, what if you laugh off...... Also, I can't say it, I still want to be faced!"
"Are you sure that's going to do? What are you going to do with it? Just throw it out and smash people like Sombra?"
Zhang Yang didn't think about it, and nodded directly:
"yes, I don't always fight like this. ”
Xiao Zhantian subconsciously wanted to correct Zhang Yang's words, wanting to say that it was not a fight but a battle, but he gave up in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Yang saw Xiao Zhantian's psychological struggle, but he didn't answer, but smiled and became familiar with the fighting style of the blue gold ball.
Xiao Zhantian couldn't stand it, and raised his hand to find a palm-sized stone shard, which looked like a random stone fragment, without any characteristics.
"Take it, put it on your forehead, and see if you can get something. Xiao Zhantian said.
Zhang Yang was curious about the result of the stone piece, from Xiao Zhantian's words, Zhang Yang thought of the legendary jade slip, and put it on his forehead to read the contents stored in it through spiritual induction.
Could it be that this fragment is something like that?
Seeing that Zhang Yang didn't move, Xiao Zhantian said again:
"This is also the remnant of that secret realm, but it is the last thing left after the collapse of the secret realm. Some people say that this is a fragment of a special jade in the secret realm, and some people say that it is a fragment of the secret realm itself. ”
"The secret realm itself? This statement is too, isn't it?" Zhang Yang felt a little funny, but Xiao Zhantian shook his head and said:
"Actually, it's not a small possibility. Different people will see different things in this fragment, legend has it that someone got a powerful combat skill from this, but I suspect that it was said by the auction house, I have investigated the eighteen masters of this fragment, only a small half of them have obtained combat skills, but it is only a very ordinary combat skill, more people say that they just saw a vague scene, and there is nothing to gain outside of the first time. ”
