Spirit forging master, there are many far-reaching schools on the mainland, it is not a rare profession, after all, everyone who sets foot on the continent needs to take advantage of the weapons and armor, which makes it consume a lot every year, which is also the reason why this profession is popular in the mainland, a powerful weapon can greatly improve the strength of a cultivator, a precious armor is enough to save a person's life, in the process of fighting against people, the difference in weapons and equipment will make the balance of the battle tilt.

If you want to become a qualified forger, it is not easy, not to mention others, the forger has extremely high requirements for the affinity of the elements, it is best to be a person who is highly compatible with the fire element or the gold element, a high degree of compatibility with the fire element will give you a huge advantage in mineral smelting, a high degree of compatibility with the gold element will give you a huge benefit when the weapon spirit is cast, and the perception of other elements is not very suitable for forging a line.

Shi Xuan knew that his dual elemental perception was good, although the golden elemental perception was temporarily sealed now, he could enter this line just by virtue of his superb fire element perception ability.

Shi Xuan took over this assistant task and reported to the spirit forging master's residence as instructed.

It took Shi Xuan a while to find the spirit forging master's residence, and from a distance, Shi Xuan felt a huge heat wave coming, and a sonorous and powerful sound of striking iron came, and there was an indescribable rhythm when he listened carefully.

Shi Xuan smacked his tongue, he went straight to the garden and pushed open the door, only to see that next to a huge stove, an old man was rotating a sledgehammer to hit a piece of fiery red metal, obviously really making this thing, Shi Xuan entered the door without disturbing, just stared blankly at the old man skillfully striking iron forging.

bang

bang

The sound of fine iron hitting was endless, and sometimes some spiritual materials that Shi Xuan didn't know were added, and after a long period of time, a knife-like sharp weapon was formed, at this moment the knife was radiant, and a compelling cold light flashed, obviously this is a powerful weapon, the old man began to insert the sharp weapon into the special spiritual material and began to quench, only then did the old man stop and look at the child who was standing silently aside.

Shi Xuan saw that he was done, and hurriedly said: "Senior, we meet again, I took over your assistant task and came to report." Shi Xuan bowed his hand respectfully.

"Didn't you expect us to have a good fate?" Isn't this old man the one Shi Xuan saw in the Zanggong Pavilion that day.

The old man looked at Shi Xuan carefully: "Strive to urge your strength, let me see." The old man said directly without nonsense.

Shi Xuan didn't dare to slack off, and began to urge with all his strength, a pure power overflowed from the dantian, and the wild fire element filled his body, his body was like a red furnace, and the scorching fire element slowly gathered towards him.

"Yes, the innate high perception of the fire spirit is a good seedling for forging", the old man nodded with satisfaction, "From today on, you will come to me as my assistant." ”

Shi Xuan thanked him, being able to learn forging here would solve his urgent need.

"How much do you know about spirit forgers?"

"I know a little, but not much, all listen to the master's teachings", Shi Xuan said respectfully

Road.

"You can call the old man Zhong Wei, a fourth-order spirit forging master, the Heavenly Vein Realm, and one of the elders of Tianhai Yuan", Zhong Wei introduced himself.

"Boy Shi Xuan meets Zhong senior", Shi Xuan solemnly apprenticed.

"Okay, our cultivators are less sophisticated, so you can learn spirit forging from me in the future!" Zhong Wei helped Shi Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, and continued, "Today, I will introduce you to the art of forging. ”

Shi Xuan listened carefully. Zhong Wei seriously introduced: "The art of forging has a very long origin, can be traced back to the barbaric era of the human race, but the forging technology at that time was extremely rough, can only create some simple tools, with the rise of mainland practice, our generation of sages combined with the laws of heaven and earth practice, the energy of heaven and earth into forging, directly created the myth of the forging world, after the development of countless sages, has already formed a situation of ten thousand flowers blooming, each method is different, but the same way." That is, the aura of heaven and earth is endowed on the forged utensils, so that the utensils become spiritual and contain great power. ”

Shi Xuan asked curiously, "Will the forged things also have spirituality, just like animals?"

"Of course, everything has spirituality, many things are just not difficult to perceive in our realm, I once heard my master say that when he was training in the mainland, he once saw a divine weapon containing independent consciousness, this weapon gave birth to self-consciousness, as if it had life. The person who can forge him is probably only a legendary grandmaster. Zhong Weiyao thought about the rumors that the master had told him back then.

Shi Xuan felt incredible, he had seen too many forging artifacts and were widely used in the village, but he had not yet learned about the artifacts that really contained spiritual energy.

Zhong Wei took out the quenching knife just now, and at this moment, the cold air overflowed, and Shi Xuan felt a trace of chill from a distance, "This knife, I added cold minerals to it, and when it was quenched, it attracted the cold qi between heaven and earth, and finally formed this ice blade full of frost power, which is also a fine product in this level." ”

Shi Xuan was shocked when he saw this knife, the knife forged by the fire was actually so cold, and the science of forging was really broad and profound.

Shi Xuan asked, "How long does it take to forge a weapon of this level?"

"It can be as little as five or six years, or as many as decades or even longer, it depends on everyone's talent and their own cultivation, I was able to build a weapon of this level when I was young, but my cultivation has been stuck in the Heavenly Vein realm for many years, which has made it difficult for my forging technique to improve for many years", Zhong Wei sighed.

Shi Xuan also found it hard to imagine that a person with excellent talent was blocked by a realm for decades, and the further he was in cultivation, it was really difficult to walk.

Zhong Wei handed Shi Xuan a huge hammer, this sledgehammer was amazingly heavy, and he didn't know what kind of metal it was, and gave Shi Xuan a piece of black metal to let him feel the feeling of striking iron first.

You must know that Shi Xuan at this moment is two hundred kilograms of stubborn stones can be thrown away, at this moment it is extremely difficult to rotate this sledgehammer, Shi Xuan forcibly rotated the sledgehammer and began to hammer the black metal, making a ", " strike sound, but the black metal was so hard that the back of his hand was numb, and it was only slightly deformed after smashing it more than a dozen times, which made him very speechless.

Shi Xuan tried his best to instinctively rotate the sledgehammer to hit the metal, at this moment he was sweating profusely, his hands were trembling, and there was already blood between his palms, and he didn't know how long he had been fighting, and in the end he couldn't even lift the hammer.

Shi Xuan sat there paralyzed, only to see that at this moment, the hard metal had been smashed by him, and the original black lump was now glowing with yellow metallic brilliance.

"It's the first time I've been able to hold on for so long, and it's also in the eyes of the old man, this sledgehammer is made of silver, weighing 300 kilograms, and this yellow metal is high-grade fine copper, which is extremely hard and contains rich aura, which is a rare forging material," Zhong Wei introduced.

At this moment, although Shi Xuan was exhausted, he could also feel the pure aura exuded from that piece of refined copper, which made him excited, if he used it to forge a weapon, it was estimated that he could easily pierce it even if he encountered an iron pig.

"This piece of refined copper should be regarded as a gift for you, I hope that every day you can forge it into a high-quality weapon, don't waste this high-quality material", Zhong Wei was overjoyed when he saw Shi Xuan's extraordinary talent and hard work.

Shi Xuan took this piece of mineral that emitted spiritual light, and he couldn't put it down for a while, even if his hands were full of blood blisters, he didn't care......

On this day, Shi Xuan returned to his residence, and he was too tired to sleep directly, Liu Ming and the others were completely stunned, this is not like him usually, you must know that Shi Xuan had to meditate on the sky and slept very late. But when they saw Shi Xuan's hands, they understood.

These days are terrible for Shi Xuan, after several days of rotating the sledgehammer, his whole body is about to collapse, but he still did not give up, insisted on being Zhong Wei's assistant every day, and practiced iron as soon as he was free.

Forging process iron is a difficult and important process, only the metal is tempered, in order to stimulate its supreme potential, the more advanced the forging of spiritual weapons, the higher the requirements for the process of building, to the back of the low strength of the person can not even lift the hammer, let alone build. A grandmaster-level forger can easily forge any spirit weapon he wants with a pair of hands and a hammer.

This is the path that all those who want to step into the spirit forge must go through, and no one can take advantage of it. Of course, in addition to hardship, it is not without benefits, the long-term rotation of a huge hammer is also extremely high for the exercise of a person's strength, and the strength growth is amazing all year round, and the forging process requires extremely high-intensity mental strength, which is also very helpful to improve mental power.

In the past few days, in addition to practicing the iron-striking skills taught by Zhong Wei, he has learned a lot of forging spiritual materials, as well as the general process of forging. From the mining of spiritual ore, to the smelting of spiritual ore, to calcination, design, building, introduction of spiritual into the body, and finally quenching, all are interlocking, and if a link is not done well, it will lead to failure.

Even at Zhong Wei's level of forging level, Shi Xuan had seen that his master had failed to forge a few times, and the expensive material aura dissipated and directly became scrap metal. No one in this world dares to say that they can be 100% successful in forging, in addition to strength, sometimes they have to be in the right time and place, and even luck is the key.

After a period of time, Shi Xuan began to forge some simple utensils, daggers, knives, and swords, of course, all of which were ordinary metals, just to be familiar with the forging techniques, and wasted a lot of materials at the beginning, and the most dangerous one was that he didn't master enough fire to almost burst Zhong Wei's furnace, and Zhong Wei was almost so angry that he vomited blood.

In the past month, Shi Xuan has made great progress, the forging of ordinary metals has begun to be handy, the success rate has been greatly improved, and some complex armor can begin to be designed and forged.

While following Zhong Wei to learn forging, Shi Xuan did not fall behind in cultivation, and the forging process itself was a special practice. During this time, he received a lot of contribution points from Zhong Wei, which was much more than those chores, and he also had some extra care from Zhong Wei.

On this day, Shi Xuan came to the place dedicated to exchanging spiritual materials and began to prepare to collect materials for cultivating the Divine Dragon Palace. There are a lot of spiritual materials here, but they are all low-level. Looking at the many spiritual materials, Shi Xuan's eyes were straight, some of them Shi Xuan and his father had collected in the mountains, but most of them were the first time Shi Xuan had seen them.

Shi Xuan compared the introduction of the exercises, and exchanged more than a dozen spiritual materials in turn, but there was only a third-order demonic beast spiritual blood that was not found here, and the third-order spiritual materials were not easy to find here, so Shi Xuan could only go back temporarily, hoping to encounter them next time.

Unable to gather spiritual materials and start the cultivation of the exercises, Shi Xuan could only continue to improve his spiritual energy cultivation and forging skills first.

After a long period of exercise, Shi Xuan felt that he could start practicing the beginner-level spiritual object forging, and under Zhong Wei's guidance, Shi Xuan prepared a low-level refined iron and began calcination.

The huge furnace emitted waves of heat, Shi Xuan's little face was roasted red, and in order to resist the high temperature, he had to urge the spiritual energy in his body to resist. He unleashed his spiritual power to perceive the calcination of the refined iron in the furnace, and only by calcining the refined iron to the right temperature could it be forged, and too high or too low a temperature would lead to failure.

The spiritual material is in the scorching hot furnace at this moment, and in order to perceive its smelting, it is necessary to have a strong spiritual power to do it, and the spiritual energy released by the spiritual material in this process often interferes with the human spirit, leading to wrong judgment, which is an extremely test of a person's spiritual cultivation.

At this moment, Shi Xuan withstood the high temperature, urging his spirit to perceive the condition of the fine iron, a palpitating scorching heat made him miserable, he endured the pain and insisted on observing, only to see the fine iron slowly turning red under the high-temperature furnace, gradually emitting spiritual light, when the light reached its peak, Shi Xuan began to withdraw his spiritual power, and took out the radiant fine iron from the furnace.

"The timing is just right, a good start," Zhong Wei commented on the sidelines.

The fine iron on the iron felt exuded a rich aura, Shi Xuan carefully observed the texture and veins of this piece of fine iron, the design of the weapon came to mind, Shi Xuan picked up the sledgehammer and began to beat the fine iron.

Although fine iron is only a low-level among many spiritual metals, its hardness is by no means comparable to ordinary metals, at this moment, Shi Xuan is already sweating profusely, he knows that if he can't complete the forging within the specified time, then the aura of this piece of fine iron will dissipate in large quantities, and eventually become scrap iron.

The time to test his perseverance came, he urged the dantian with all his strength, and the huge power began to awaken from the bloodline, and his strength increased several times in a while, opening the rage mode, the originally unregulated fine iron was undergoing great changes under his ingenious hammer method, a fine iron dagger gradually appeared, and the eye-catching aura began to converge, which was a sign that the forging was about to be completed, and after a thousand hammers, a dagger with a spirit pass flashed appeared in front of the two, and Shi Xuan could not suppress the excitement in his heart at this moment.

"Hurry up and quench to complete the spirit introduction," Zhong Wei urged.

Shi Xuan immediately sandwiched the dagger into the quenching spirit object prepared before, and began to guide the fire spirit qi into the dagger, after a period of time, a fine iron dagger full of fire spirit was forged, the whole process was smooth, and the design, time, strength, and control were all well grasped.

Zhong Wei picked up the dagger full of spiritual energy and looked at it carefully, feeling the spiritual forging that Shi Xuan had completed for the first time. "In addition to the material handicap, the forging process is almost perfect, this dagger is not limited by the material, and it can also be called a first-order boutique", Zhong Wei gave a very high evaluation.

Shi Xuan took the dagger and felt it carefully. This is the first spiritual weapon he has carefully designed and built for himself, and he is especially proud of it. He thought to himself that one day he would have to build himself a weapon that would truly give birth to the spirit of the soul and reach the level of legend.

This dagger, the purest fire spirit he introduced into himself, is a good fire attribute soldier, which can improve his combat power a lot in battle.

With this successful experience, Zhong Wei was also relieved that Shi Xuan had lived up to his expectations, and now many important forging tasks would let him participate or learn. The most outstanding spirit forging master in Tianhai Yuan at the end of the year, many people are looking for him to forge good spirit soldiers every day, Shi Xuan has also gained a lot of knowledge by following Zhong Wei, and he is fully qualified for the position of assistant to the spirit forging master.

Since Shi Xuan returned to his residence with his dagger, many companions began to be uneasy, and many people came to Shi Xuan to help forge a spiritual soldier, which made Shi Xuan's head big, and now he is extremely busy with his cultivation, and he has to spend a lot of time as an assistant to Zhong Wei, so naturally he has little time to build artifacts privately, not to mention that the forging materials are so expensive that he can't afford it, so he can only politely refuse, but he also promised that as long as the other party provides enough spiritual materials and enough expenses, he will still find time to help. As a result, expensive materials scare away many people.

But there were still some people who provided materials and promised to give him a lot of production costs, and Shi Xuan couldn't refuse. Moreover, he was able to get a lot of benefits from it, and his forging level was also greatly improved.

This is the benefit of a spirit forger, once you are able to become a spirit forger, you will be valued by many people, after all, they may need your help at any time, and few people are willing to offend a spirit master directly.

Shi Xuan also felt that many people around him had begun to become enthusiastic these days, which made him a little uncomfortable, but after thinking about it carefully, he accepted it calmly, he deeply felt the transcendence of a spirit master, no matter what kind of spirit master, once he reached a sufficient realm, he would have a foothold on the continent.

Some people even analyzed the status of many spirit masters on the continent: spirit forging masters, spirit pill masters and spirit array masters have the highest status among many spirit masters, after all, no matter the blades, armor, elixirs, spirit pills, and powerful spirit arrays they make, they are all the most popular.

Recently, Shi Xuan went out early and returned late every day, busy with cultivation and spiritual forging. One day, when he came back from Zhong Wei's place, a handsome and extraordinary-looking young man stopped him, "I heard that you became Zhong Wei's mentor's assistant apprentice and successfully created a first-order spiritual object?"

Shi Xuan saw that this student who was older than him had no malicious intent, and replied truthfully: "Yes, not long ago, I was lucky enough to forge a fire spirit dagger, it was pure luck. ”

"Can you lend me a look?" asked the older boy.

Shi Xuan took out the dagger and handed it to him, and the young man carefully observed: "Pure fire spirit power, a rare dagger", and returned the dagger after reading it. Then he said: "In Xia Du Ruofei, I want you to help me build a spiritual weapon, if you are willing to help, I am willing to provide you with a third-order demonic beast essence blood, I heard that you are searching for this thing." ”

Shi Xuan was surprised, the other party actually had the essence blood of a third-order demonic beast, you know, the third-order demonic beast is not something that ordinary people can deal with, seeing that this guy who doesn't have much of a big stone xuan can actually get it.

Seeing Shi Xuan hesitate, "You don't believe that I have the essence blood of a third-order demonic beast?" The boy asked rhetorically.

"It's just that a fierce beast of that level is not easy to deal with, I can't believe it", Shi Xuan replied truthfully.

"It's really not easy, if that guy hadn't been seriously injured in fighting with other demonic beasts, a few of us really wouldn't be able to deal with it, and it would be considered luck to be able to defeat it", after the young man finished speaking, he directly took out a small vial, "This is the essence blood of the third-order Qingfeng wolf, such as a fake exchange", the young man directly expressed his sincerity.

Shi Xuan asked, "What kind of spirit weapon do you want to build?"

"A first-order wind attribute armor," the young man said.

"The armor is no better than an ordinary blade, its complexity is far beyond the ability of this dagger, and I have never created a complete armor," Shi Xuan told the truth.

"I can feel that your forging ability is very good, it should not be difficult for you to build an armor, everything has a first time, isn't it?"

"I can try to help you build it, but you will take out the excess materials lost in the process, if the building is successful, I will only accept your bottle of essence blood", Shi Xuan prescribed.

The young man pondered for a moment, this undoubtedly made him bear a lot of risks, you must know that it was not easy for him to gather the materials, once Shi Xuan failed, he would also suffer a heavy loss. But after a moment, he said, "I believe in you, as long as you succeed in crafting what I want, and I will produce the excess materials myself, this bottle of essence blood will be yours." ”

The two finally reached a consensus, for this bottle of essence blood Shi Xuan decided to fight, these days, he did not rush to start building, but asked Zhong Wei a lot of questions, after all, it is a lot more difficult to make armor just by design, using a variety of spiritual materials, there are many conditions for the collocation of various materials, if there is a problem in one link, the whole plate is lost, Shi Xuan does not dare to be careless, this is the largest order he has received so far.

For several days in a row, Shi Xuan was carefully thinking about how to make the best armor design. He learned a lot of knowledge from Zhong Wei about the formation of alloys from various spiritual metals, and for this reason, he also personally did several fusion experiments, which also wasted some valuable spiritual materials, which made him feel distressed, but in order to get the best results, he could only endure the pain and continue the experiment.

After a thorough experiment, he finally settled on the final concept of armor, relying on the excellent ductility of refined copper, combined with the hardness of fine iron and many wind attribute materials, he designed the first spirit armor in his life.

With many previous tests, Shi Xuan had confidence in his heart, from metal smelting to calcination, and then to the formation of alloys from two metals with different properties, refined iron and refined copper, he carried out it to the end.

Next to the blazing furnace, Shi Xuan concentrated on building with all his strength, and pieces of armor were born under his hammer until they were all completed, and then used the hard refined iron part as the main defense module, and the highly malleable refined copper connected the armor at one time, after a period of time, a piece of armor appeared in front of him, without hesitation, Shi Xuan put the finished armor into the spiritual material quenching to complete the process of spiritual introduction.

In the end, Shi Xuan embedded a wind attribute demon core on the armor, and under the movement of the demon core, a strong body protection wind was formed. This armor is a great defense for those who are friendly with wind spirits.

Shi Xuan, put this armor on his body to feel the power of the armor, because it was built according to Du Ruofei's figure, it looked a little fat on his body, but it was still handsome, and even the momentum of walking had improved.

If it weren't for the third-order demonic beast essence blood, Shi Xuan would have wanted to keep this armor for his own use.
