Chapter 114: Wrought Iron
"It's finally done." Looking at the pale yellow flames in the iron furnace, Xiao Yu finally sighed with relief. Junxiu's face was full of tiredness, but his face was full of joy, after all, nothing can compare to the sense of accomplishment that comes with success, even if the success is insignificant.
The iron in the furnace has already turned red after repeated calcination of pure fire. Xiao Yu carefully clamped the iron block to the forging platform with iron tongs, held the iron hammer next to the forging platform and struck it violently on the red iron. Unexpectedly, as soon as the hammer went down, his hand was shocked by the rebound force of the hammer, and he almost got rid of the hammer.
"With such a knocking method, I'm afraid you won't be able to forge this piece of iron into pure steel for a month."
The door opened, but Leng Yan reappeared. He glanced at the forge, and a smile appeared on his faceβit was rare that the first forging could not be extinguished, and the iron was red.
"Xiao Yu, you haven't slept all night?"
"Hmm." Xiao Yu nodded, from starting the fire to exercising the iron, he was concentrating. At this time, when I relaxed, I felt the exhaustion of my body.
"Alasβit's good to have faith, but the body is also important to us." Leng Yan shook his head and said.
"It's okay." Xiao Yu wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve: "This little hard work is nothing. β
Leng Yan was a little distracted, and there seemed to be many feelings in his heart: Xiao Yu in front of him was much like his previous self.
Pulling over a chair, Leng Yan sat down directly in front of Xiao Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, tell me, what is the difference between a refiner and an ordinary blacksmith?" β
Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, "Because a blacksmith can only forge ordinary weapons, but a refiner can forge a divine weapon immortal weapon. β
"Hehe......" Hearing Xiao Yu's answer, Leng Yan suddenly smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Divine Weapon Immortal Weapon...... How many refiners have been able to forge this legendary thing for thousands of years. And how many alchemists' works can be remembered by future generations......"
He paused, and then asked, "Then tell me, what is the Divine Weapon made of?" β
This time, Xiao Yu replied without thinking about it: "Of course it's the best material." β
"You're wrong." Leng Yan shook his head: "A true refiner, even the worst scraps can forge an artifact that amazes the world. β
"Forge an artifact out of scraps!" Xiao Yu looked at Leng Yan in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe it.
"The so-called refiner is a person who transforms decay into magic...... This, I hope you will remember. β
"Yes!" Xiao Yu hurriedly nodded as if he were taught.
"You go and rest first." Leng Yan pointed to the red piece of iron and said: "Although this piece of miscellaneous iron has been burned red, only the surface layer can really be forged, and its interior is still cold, so you can only knock its surface layer at present to let the impurities in it shed off." If you want to forge it into a piece of pure steel, it will take several days. Go and rest. β
"Master Lengyan!" Xiao Yu suddenly shouted Leng Yan, who turned around and left.
"What's wrong?"
"I'd like to try again......"
When, the hammer collided with the iron, making a crisp sound, this was Xiao Yu's second hammer blow, which opened the prelude to his refining career.

Three days passed. Xiao Yu had already forged thousands of hammers on the iron. The original huge piece of iron has shrunk to half its original size. This shows that a lot of impurities in the iron have been removed.
The sound of continuous beating began to sound in the forging room.
Forging is definitely a boring and tiring process, but Xiao Yu regards this as a tempering of his body, because as long as he forges this iron block into pure steel, he can learn the art of alchemy. Another three days passed, and the iron was only a quarter of its original size, and after this period of forging, Xiao Yu had a new understanding of the refiner.
The lowest blacksmith is not considered a refiner, or rather, only the best of blacksmiths can be considered the lowest alchemist. Refiners below the third rank can generally only cast ordinary mortal weapons or low-grade spiritual weapons, only refiners above the third rank can refine some extraordinary spiritual weapons, and only refiners above the sixth rank can cast those treasures that are the envy of cultivators. And it is said that only the Nine Rank Refiners can cast the legendary Immortal Treasure Artifact.
However, casting a peerless divine soldier requires not only skilled forging skills, but also chance and luck are also very important. Therefore, the vast majority of refiners only stay at the level of about three or four grades, and there are only a handful of fifth-grade refiners, and wherever they reach the sixth grade, they will be treated by the top of all forces. It is said that in the entire East, refiners above the sixth rank can be counted on two hands, and there is no refiner above the eighth grade.
On this day, when Xiao Yu swung the hammer again, he found that no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult to reduce the iron in front of him by a fraction. For several days, the iron was still like this, and as a last resort, Xiao Yu decided to ask Leng Yan.
When Leng Yan came to Xiao Yu's room and saw that only a quarter of the size of the iron was left, there was a hint of approval on his face.
"It takes half a month to train this piece of black gold iron to such an extent, Xiao Yu, you do have the potential to be a refiner." He smiled and nodded. At this level, I am afraid that even some first- and second-grade refiners are difficult to achieve.
"This piece of iron is Ugin!!" Although Xiao Yu had come into contact with alchemy for the first time, he had already heard of Ugin. Like dark iron, Ugin is also a material for casting weapons. Ugin, Mithril, Red Copper, and Dark Iron, the four major casting materials in the cultivation world are all particularly rare metals, and among the rare metals, except for a very few that are particularly precious, they must belong to the four types of Ugin, Mithril, Red Copper, and Dark Iron with the highest practical value. Not only is it difficult for them to mine and refine, but their own production is also extremely rare, among the four metals, Mithril is the most precious, followed by red copper, black iron again, and Ugin last, but this is only for the first three. In the entire East, the amount of Ugin that can be produced every year is only about a thousand catties, let alone the other three. Take the cheapest Ugin as an example, a gram of Ugin is worth at least tens of thousands of yuan, and it is still priceless, and as for Mithril, Red Copper, and Dark Iron, the production is less than that of Ugin, and the price is even more expensive.
These materials are even more precious to the foundry, because with them, they bring with them a weapon that can forge a weapon that surpasses others.
Although this piece of black gold is full of impurities, if it is refined into pure, it will weigh at least ten catties, and as long as ordinary weapons are quenched into even if it is only half the size of a little finger, it will become a famous weapon that can cut gold and break silver, not to mention this whole piece of black gold, if such a piece of black gold is forged and flows outside, I am afraid it will cause a lot of competition.
"You'll never be able to forge this piece of Ugin into pure steel." Leng Yan sighed lightly and shook his head, and walked in front of Xiao Yu. glanced at the hammer in Xiao Yu's hand, and then took out an object from the ring.
