Chapter 14: The Twelve Chapters of Forging
Fang Zongqing talked about the situation in the blacksmith shop, and it took him more than half an hour to talk about the forging and the things about the forging master one by one.
Coldly, Fang Zhong came up with a sentence: "I have decided, I want to become a forger." β
Poof!
Fang Zongqing stumbled, almost fell, stared at the surprised gaze, and said, "Chong'er, you're not kidding, are you? A forging master is not so easy to achieve, without a good teacher to teach, even if you beat iron like your father for a lifetime, you can't become a forging master." β
"I understand, Dad, don't worry, I can definitely become a forger, and I am not an ordinary forger. Fang Zhong said confidently, in fact, he wanted to say that he would become a refining master, but he was afraid that Fang Zongqing would not understand, so he temporarily changed his words.
Fang Zongqing was really incomprehensible to Fang Chong's sudden thoughts and confidence, but fortunately, he was used to all kinds of strange things about his son, so he shook his head helplessly, raised his hammer and continued to beat his black iron.
Fang Zongqing didn't ask, and Fang Chong was happy not to explain, anyway, if he explained, he could only push it to the unwarranted immortal, so it was better not to explain.
In fact, his self-confidence comes from "The Beauty of the Mountains", or from Mei'er, although Mei'er has no body, but after all, she is the spirit of an artifact, and the knowledge stored in her brain is an astronomical number, to put it bluntly, it is a mobile library.
Just now, Mei'er told him that he could become a profession that was a hundred times more noble and clever than a forgerβa refiner!
A refiner, as the name suggests, is to refine all kinds of utensils.
However, among the immortal path cultivators, the refiner is the person who refines all kinds of magic weapons, aura, and immortal weapons, and they have noble identities and come and go without a trace, but there is one thing in common, that is, arrogance, extreme arrogance, ordinary people are too lazy to take care of it.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that as a clever refiner, others ask him, and he is naturally very arrogant.
Moreover, almost every refiner is an absolute master, and his cultivation is so powerful that ordinary cultivators can't force them if they want to, and they don't dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.
Because refining spiritual weapons and immortal weapons requires strong enough strength, and if they don't have enough strength, even if they are skilled, they are useless, so the level of the refiner also determines their cultivation.
In addition, the refiner himself can refine weapons, he must have a lot of spiritual weapons, and even immortal weapons, once he fights, it is a humanoid weapon, comparable to the existence of a battle fortress, just ask who doesn't have a headache when fighting with such a character, who is willing?
"Alchemists, somewhat similar to those mages in online games, are noble and arrogant, but rare, and have enough capital to be proud of. Fang Zhong defined the refiner, but there was still more to ask Mei'er.
......
At night, Fang Zhong was lying on the bed, his eyes were closed, in fact, his mind had entered the "Beauty of the Rivers and Mountains", and he was standing in the study.
"Mei'er, you said you could make me a refiner, but how do I become a refiner?" Fang Zhong asked suspiciously.
"It's not easy to become a refiner, and if you don't have the guidance of a famous teacher, you can't achieve anything in your life. Mei'er was charming, standing beside Fang Chong, and said with a grin: "However, master, you are lucky to inherit this "Beauty of the Rivers and Mountains". β
What is the relationship between inheriting the beauty of the country and refining the weapon?
Fang Chong was slightly stunned, and said curiously: "Mei'er, you can make it clear, what does this "Picture of the Beauty of the Mountains and Rivers" have to do with refining?"
Mei'er said with a smile: "This "Beauty of the Rivers and Mountains" is actually an encyclopedia of refining, and it is the masterpiece of the pinnacle of refining skills, which contains the essence of the old master's lifelong learning, and the old master himself is a great master of refining, do you say there is anything to do with this?"
The Great Master of Alchemy, this is an amazing character.
Fang Zhong was taken aback, although he didn't understand the meaning of the word "Great Grandmaster" for the time being, he instinctively felt that it was definitely extraordinary.
Because the average refiner can be called a master is already a high status, and the great master, there is no doubt that they are all top-notch existences, as can be seen from the name, they are even higher than the masters, and the level of their refining weapons is naturally much higher than the master level.
"I'm scared!" Mei'er raised her head proudly, revealing her white neck, and said: "The old master's refining methods are unparalleled in the world, master, as the successor of the old master, there is no doubt about becoming a refining master at all, it's just a matter of time."
"Mei'er. Fang Chong's heart burned when he heard this, and he smiled: "That'..... Let's get started now, I can't wait. β
"Good. β
After Mei'er's explanation, the fiery passion in Fang Zhong's heart dropped by more than half, because if you want to become a refiner, the most basic thing is to cultivate the immortal technique, use your own yuan power, the yuan power in the refining is the foundation, and without the yuan power, nothing can be sacrificed.
However, he doesn't even have internal strength now, let alone any Yuan Li.
It's not possible to refine the weapon, at least not for a short time. Therefore, Fang Zhong could only reluctantly give up his plan to become a refiner immediately, and choose a long-term strategy, step by step.
"Master, this is a book of "Forging Basics", it is not a refining weapon, but it is very suitable for your current situation, and it was stored by the old master on another planet. Mei'er's slender fingers clicked, and a golden book suddenly flew out of the shelf, very thick, a few centimeters.
The golden book floated onto the desk, and then Mei'er gently broke the prohibition above, and the golden pages automatically opened, revealing the clear handwriting inside.
"The Twelve Chapters of Forging". Fang Chong's eyes glanced at the pages of the book, followed the table of contents, and did not miss a word, carefully and carefully, trying to memorize any sentence in it.
After half a ring, he was already deeply immersed in the book, and he was amazed by the mysterious forging techniques in it, many of which were not available in this world, far beyond his expectations, and even the high technology in his previous life could not compare to such mysterious forging techniques.
A book is a few centimeters thick, and it is impossible to read it in a short time.
The night passed, and Fang Zhong only saw a small part, but Rao also benefited him a lot, as if he had opened another skylight, allowing him to see a wonderful forging world.
Fang Zhong was very aware of the value of this "Forging Twelve Chapters", but he was not in a hurry to try, after all, he was not a child's mind, he understood the truth of sharpening a knife and not cutting wood, he would not try it easily until he fully understood the relevant forging skills.
For seven days in a row, Fang Zhong locked himself in his room, almost forgetting to sleep and eat to study the "Twelve Chapters of Forging", so that it took him seven days to finish reading this Forging Secret Book.
Of course, this is just a matter of reading it, and it is still far from being familiar and comprehending.
"Huh, this forging technique is indeed extraordinary, ordinary black iron can be forged into divine weapons, it is really too mysterious. Fang Zhong was surprised, originally he thought that black iron was the worst material, and it was impossible to forge good weapons, but after reading "Forging Twelve", he realized that his original self was really too short-sighted.
What about black iron, if used properly, it can forge divine weapons.
This is the advantage of the clever forging skills, forging ordinary materials into good weapons, forging good materials into divine weapons, all kinds of means are incredible, and the mysteries are incomparable.
For a whole month, Fang Zhong almost stayed at home.
Lan Shi anxiously walked around the yard, worried: "Chong'er and his father, our child is fine, it's been a month, and I haven't seen him go out, what can I do if I go on like this?"
Next to him, Fang Zongqing smiled freely: "Don't worry, our family has grown up, and he has a sense of proportion, there must be a reason for him to forget to sleep and eat, we just watch from the side, and we don't have to interfere." He was very relieved of his son, and he was not worried at all.
Bang!
At this time-
The door was pushed open from the inside, and Fang Zhong stepped out like a gust of wind, leaving only one sentence: "Dad, mother, I'm going to the blacksmith's shop, you don't have to wait for me for lunch." β
It wasn't until Fang Chong's figure disappeared that Lan and Fang Zongqing reacted enough, and the two of them stared at each other with wide eyes, and laughed bitterly in unison.
In the blacksmith shop, Fang Zhong closed the door, the fire rose, and he was excited to play straight.
In the past month, he has completely learned the first part of the "Twelve Chapters of Forging", what is lacking is practice, after all, all abilities are judged by practice, theoretical knowledge alone is not enough to transform into his own ability, only in practice can he better improve his skills.
Half an hour later, the fire was already burning red, a large ball of fire was swallowing on it, and the rolling heat wave came to the surface, and after a while, Fang Zhong was already sweating.
"Well, the furnace fire should be enough, now it's time to quench and purify. Fang Zhong made his first move, and he was extremely careful, throwing the black iron into the furnace fire, carefully observing the changes in the black iron.
The pitch-black black iron, which is not as heat-resistant, has softened after a while, and has become a crushed appearance.
At this time, Fang Chongcai took out a small paper bag from his body, carefully sprinkled it on the black iron, and silently said to himself: "Whether it is successful or not, it depends on you." β
The paper bag was a light blue powder with a strange vanilla smell, but when the powder was sprinkled on the black iron, it underwent a strange change, and a layer of powder suddenly melted, like a stream of water, into the black iron, making the red black iron have a touch of light blue out of thin air.
Then, the pale blue flowed rapidly in the reddish black iron, condensing a trace of blue silk thread.
Seeing this scene, Fang Chong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and was overjoyed, this blue powder was the Blue Star Grass that he had collected with great effort in the past month.
Blue Star Grass This kind of thing is not rare, but it is useful to use it to forge a little stamen that only has the tip, it is not easy to collect such a small bag of Blue Star Grass stamens, it took a lot of time, but fortunately it was successful, otherwise he would have suffered.
"The Twelve Articles of Forging" said that the blue star grass powder can purify black iron, and it is really effective, it seems that the black iron grade after the purification of the blue star grass should be a level higher. Fang Chong's eyes stared straight at the black iron, visible to the naked eye, the red black iron shrunk a large circle under the effect of the blue star grass, becoming even more pitch black and deep, faintly revealing the cold luster unique to the metal.
It's really strange that the red-hot iron has a cold sheen.
However, Fang Zhong couldn't help but be overjoyed, because he could see that the current black iron had been much purer, and it should be regarded as a primary iron essence, and the texture was much stronger than the original black iron.
