Chapter Fifty-Six: The Recipe for Refining Weapons
The first morning light had just shone on the ground, and the sky was slightly white, Li Rumo opened his eyes, couldn't wait to get out of bed and get dressed, and walked out of his room at a speed of three steps and a trot. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Today is a special day for him.
Since the last time his grandfather promised to teach him the family exercises, he has been waiting for seven days, Li Rumo has been looking forward to the land day and night, and finally waited for today's arrival.
After breakfast, he followed his grandfather and uncle to an iron-refining stove in the innermost part of Aida Town.
This stove is different from other iron stoves in Aida Town, Li Rumo has been here for a month, and he knows that there are eleven stoves in the center of Aida Town, which are arranged according to various different iron refining processes.
And this is the twelfth, not in the same place as the other stoves, but alone in the interior of the town near the mountain wall, Li Rumo doesn't understand why he made such an arrangement.
"You must wonder why there's a separate stove here, right?" After entering the interior, Psius asked Li Rumo.
Li Rumo nodded curiously.
Looking at the furnishings here, it is no different from the ordinary iron smelting workshop, a stove, a bellows and a pool of water used to cool the refining materials, except that this place is connected to the mountain rock, and it seems that it is not built of bricks and tiles, but more like it was dug out of the mountain wall.
"This iron workshop has existed since I was born, and according to legend, it was built by the first generation of our Start family, and it has a history of thousands of years." Psius explained.
Li Rumo was shocked! Looking around in amazement, this is built by the first generation of ancestors?
Baddeley patted Li Rumo, pulled Li Rumo's attention back, and asked: "You have been beating stubborn iron for a month, and you should also have a preliminary understanding of refining iron, tell your uncle, what are the five major processes of refining?" ”
Li Rumo thought for a moment and immediately said: "It is to select blanks, casting and forming, normalizing and annealing, cutting edge processing and refining and tempering. ”
Baddeley looked at Li Rumo happily: "Sure enough, it's a heart, it's not bad at all!" But did you know that if we want to make a weapon that is better than ordinary people, the first three of the five processes can be done by any iron iron in the other stoves? But the last two processes must be walked through here? ”
Li Rumo shook his head blankly, he had never heard of this.
"There are two reasons: firstly, the temperature of this furnace is several percent higher than that of ordinary furnaces, which allows the refining material to reach the highest temperature in the shortest possible time, and then after rapid cooling, it can improve the overall toughness of the refining material. Secondly, it is the refining processing part, which relies on the refining skills passed down from our family. ”
"Refining the Technique?"
Psyus continued: "That's right! After practicing our family's refining techniques, when refining iron and quenching tools, we can make the weapons sharper, so that the quality of the sword can reach the original minerals, and because of this, the weapons handled by our Start clan can be better than ordinary blacksmiths and ordinary soldiers, relying on this refining technique. ”
As he spoke, Putius took out a crescent knife from behind him and handed it to Li Rumo: "You touch it with your hand." ”
Li Rumo carefully touched the blade of the knife with his hand, and what came from the palm of his hand was not the coldness that an iron tool should have, but a strange burning sensation, which frightened Li Rumo and quickly withdrew his hand.
The two of them saw Li Rumo staring at the crescent knife with a suspicious expression, and laughed at the same time, and Psius laughed: "This knife is one of the proudest works of my grandfather and my life, and it was created with the refining technique!" This knife can automatically absorb the heat energy in the air, and gather but not disperse, if the knife body is immersed in bucket water, it can turn cold water into boiling hot water in only half an hour, and it is still a weapon that can be called a good product on the mainland. ”
"If a warrior can have a weapon like this, not only can he increase his own lethality, but also increase his resistance to ice magic, which is invaluable in the market."
"As long as I learn this refining technique, will I be able to create a weapon like this?" Li Rumo asked in surprise.
Baddeley shook his head and smiled, "It's not that easy! It took your grandfather decades to make three handfuls, one of which was sold at a high price, and the other was given to the Ranville family as your mother's dowry, and now there is only one left in our family. ”
"Uncle, I haven't been able to strike a handful of iron for more than 20 years. With the size of the entire Qiongwu Continent, such a weapon can be regarded as a rare and good product, Li Rumo, if you can cultivate this technique well, there is still a great possibility of succeeding in the future. Baddeley encouraged Li Rumo.
Psius smiled and nodded, it could be seen that he was still very satisfied with this proud work, and he continued: "Baddeley, don't be discouraged, I haven't been able to make one of the previous refining tools for more than thirty years, but in the next ten years, I have succeeded in producing these three in a row, it seems that this seems to be related to the level of cultivation of the Qi Refining Technique." You and Li Rumo still have enough time, as long as you don't give up, you will definitely succeed in the future. ”
"Grandpa's sword is so powerful, what about the tiger sword that the ancestor built?" Li Rumo suddenly thought and asked curiously.
The two of them were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and after a while, Prosus said: "I can't compare with the ancestors at all, although I haven't seen that tiger sword, but I heard my father say that the sword can generate flames on its own, and it can burn people to ashes once it reaches the body, and now it is the divine sword that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Qiwu royal family." ”
After hearing this, Li Rumo couldn't help but think: "It's also about learning refining techniques, and the ancestors can create divine weapons, so I should be able to do the same." ”
"Yi Yun!" Pu Xiusi interrupted Li Rumo's thoughts, and said to him seriously: "Before passing on your exercises, grandpa must tell you clearly: this exercise passed down by our family is mainly in iron-smelting and smelting tools to play the greatest role, although this can also make the person who practices the exercises reach the level of a two-star warrior or above, but it is not a fighting qi technique, and it is not as good as your father's family's fighting qi mastery, and it is already the limit for you to reach a two-star or three-star warrior." ”
"Your uncle has been practicing since he was a child, he is in his thirties this year, and now he is at the level of a two-star warrior, and my grandfather and I are almost sixty years old this year, and now it is already the limit to a three-star warrior! I'm telling you right now that I hope you can practice step by step and don't have lofty ideas. ”
Psius is already a person from the past, how can he not know the thoughts in Li Rumo's heart, if he still compares himself with the people in the Ranville family, he will only face greater disappointment in the future, so he will talk about it first to dispel the unrealistic illusions that Li Rumo may have in his heart.
"Grandpa, I understand! Li Rumo will definitely not disappoint you and your uncle! ”
Li Rumo heard the pity for him in Psius's words, and he understood what his grandfather could not say.
"If only you could understand!" Pusius patted Li Rumo and said with a smile: "Then let's start the traditional transmission ceremony now!" ”
Psius didn't wait for Li Rumo to answer, and then said: "Baddeley, you go and pull the bellows first and light the stove!" Li Rumo, come over here and sit down, and your grandfather will help you bleed! ”
"Bloodletting?" Li Rumo was confused, is this related to learning exercises?
"This is a rule laid down by our ancestors! Before the descendants can teach the refining method, they must put a bowl of blood and sprinkle it in the heated refining stove before they can teach the exercise. ”
Baddeley leaned his face over at this time and smiled softly: "Little Hank cried a lot during the bloodletting ceremony, but it took your aunt and I a lot of work to calm him down. Today I have a gambling contract with your aunt, uncle, I bet that you won't cry during bloodletting, you don't let me lose the bet, hehe~~~"
"Bloodletting? Tradition? Is this the rule of that sect? Li Rumo exclaimed.
