Without waiting for a few sips of wine, the time had come, and after two hours of exploration and study, Li Zhi suddenly understood at a certain moment why modern technology in later generations had been extremely developed, but the reason why the ancient method of forging the ultimate blade could not be forged.

Take the step of covering the soil and burning the blade as an example, the modern process often uses an electric furnace to fire, and the effect is not satisfactory. The control of the relationship between the furnace temperature and the blade, the angle, speed, and method of taking the blade out of the furnace, and then quenching it in water, these details are all exquisite, and the subtleties can only be detected in the subtlety of the feel gradually accumulated by experience.

Li Zhiyou has the blessing of true qi perception all the time, and he can feel the fleeting changes in time, and the advantages of modern heat treatment equipment are only industrialized products with high efficiency and stable performance.

These industrialized products, compared with the swords of traditional heat treatment, are like the relationship between printing matter and calligraphy and painting, the former is full of ingenuity; The latter is personality and passionate.

In his view, advocating ancient methods is not the same as mud ancient, not only to inherit the traditional craftsmanship and aesthetics, but also to have the times and personality design, is truly worthy of the meteorite that has been sleeping for thousands of years.

The hard and tedious forging process continued until the afternoon, so that the knife strip gradually showed a dense and uniform texture, forging dense, reasonable structure, in order to have such a good toughness and tension, the denser the texture, the better the tension performance.

The blade is also clear and transparent, the blade is clear and reflects that the sword has undergone an excellent heat treatment process, and Li Zhi and the two are confident and decisive enough in their own technology when operating, and they will not drag mud and water when they are out of the fire and into the water, so that the steel quality of the blade will be excellent, and it will have strong penetration when slashing and killing in the future.

This transparency also represents uniformity and continuity across the entire cutting edge, providing excellent tension and communication to the cutting edge, allowing the user to accurately transfer force to the target when it hits the target.

Li Zhi's dual-medium quenching undoubtedly plays a vital role in it, which can effectively reduce the internal stress of accelerating the cold transition in high-carbon steel, reduce the deformation and cracking tendency of forgings, and is very suitable for such a complex shape and uneven cross-section of the quenching of giant knives.

The posture, shape, ground, blade and forging charm and temperament of the sword are actually mystified ancient forging sword techniques for the sake of actual combat performance, which is essentially a summary of the skills of swordsmiths and warriors after countless battles for thousands of years.

At this time, the knife is already in a rudimentary state, during which there are stripes through the surface, showing its excellent toughness, Jiang Shan stroked it for a long time and said in a deep voice: "The grinding process is about to be made, a traditional sword prototype, to go through ten to twelve different grinding stones for grinding, as little as ten days and half a month, more than a few months, only after such a process, the sword itself performance, characteristics, art effects, etc. can be fully revealed." ”

Li Zhi has a different point of view, he has true qi and the strong strength of a second-level master, and he will greatly shorten this grinding process: "Uncle Shan, you first guide out the coarse grinding parts, and I will do in-depth grinding with the trajectory you polished, and you will complete the remaining fine parts." ”

Jiang Shan understands the urgency in Li Zhi's heart, and also knows that he has an unusual and subtle special perception, but he is not worried that Li Zhi is too urgent and will lead to the mistakes of his subordinates: "Then I will grind out the initial trajectory, but you have to remember that you must always grind in one direction, even if the angle position and area are so narrow that it is not easy to act, you can't change the texture direction slightly!" We take our time one part at a time, complete the rough grinding as a whole, and then change the grinding stone to enter the next process! ”

It's just that Jiang Shan didn't expect that after he did the guide grinding, Li Zhi's strength would be very different from his own, and he often pushed it down one by one, and he actually had the effect of dozens or hundreds of sharpening processes.

Such a significant situation made him helpless to stop Li Zhi's men's actions: "I didn't expect Mr. Li's cultivation to be so strong, which requires us to arrange the next process estimate, and it is impossible for me to rest for a while!" ”

Yang Gaotang, who has always been with him, said with a smile: "Jiangshan, not only him, but I and the Seventh Uncle, including Daoist Sima have been waiting, we can also make a grinding effect more than ten or dozens of times stronger than you." You see the parts that don't really matter, do you want us to plug in as well? Otherwise, I keep watching like this, and my heart is anxious! ”

This is a purely utilitarian mentality, and a few capable bystanders are obviously not satisfied with witnessing the birth process of a divine weapon, and being able to play even a little credit in it will also cause them a huge sense of psychological glory.

Sima Chengzhen happily helped, "This is also human nature, selfishness is not only to meet personal psychological needs, but also to participate in it can also bring a deep feeling after the five flavors, which is more meaningful than the actual reputation!" ”

Jiang Shan didn't understand the deep reasoning in his words, but he didn't refuse a few people's requests, after all, any of these people are people with advanced Taoism, and there is no possibility of more deviation than his own in terms of proportion.

Li Zhitou replied with a smile without replying: "There are all opportunities, but they need to be sharpened, and the purpose now is to make rapid progress, and you can't afford to delay the time under your care!" ”

Yang Gaotang scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy is ruthless, but we are also a lot older, what's wrong with giving some face?" I don't know how to respect the old and love the young. ”

"Actually, what Mr. Li said is true, as soon as we get started, the caution of our subordinates is like being frightened, it will indeed be a mistake!" Fine grinding is actually better, at that time, the unity of the form and the god of the blade has appeared, and we can better perceive the fusion process of sword intent and power when we act on it! ”

"Haha, it's still very far from what the predecessors said, the sword and sword qi are the reality, and the virtual realm is the sublimation of the reality, that is the time when the real sword intent appears, it is indeed more meaningful than this kind of stupid hard work and simple perception!" It was Sima Chengzhen who said this, and others didn't expect that this kind of ridicule and humor could also come out of his mouth.

Li Zhike didn't care about others ridiculing him for doing small labor at this time, he was more concerned about the moment when the finished product appeared, and the process was not a special perception acquisition for him, but only an experience.

Just as he will never always respect morality like Sima Chengzhen, Li Zhi only cares about the improvement of the realm brought to him by Taoist exercises, and he thinks that he has finally lived again, and enjoyment is far more tangible than faith persistence.

So when night fell, the three daughters of Qingqi had already returned from the mountain, and in the afternoon they moved the crowd to follow them to pick wild fruits in the mountains, and even the ancestors also followed in a carriage.

Of course, the main responsibility of the old man is arranged to take care of the fruit, and this is it, in the afternoon, the smile on her face has not disappeared, and it is a very pleasant thing to devote herself to nature physically and mentally.

Yang Gaotang, Liqi, and Sima Chengzhen have already started under the supervision of Jiangshan, and in addition to the three daughters on Li Zhi's side, there are also Granny Xia and Lao Wu Tou, who returned from Chang'an City.

"The old man took advantage of two hours, from the early stage of the break to the middle stage, and there was also true qi in the body, he happily poured half a jar of wine that day, of course, the fruit wine we brought, the old man has not been drunk for decades!" Old Wu Tou was so excited that he described Sun Simiao's mood to Li Zhi at that time.

Li Zhi was also overjoyed, "Being able to condense the true qi means that you have truly stepped into the realm of cultivation, did the old man decide to wait for me to go back and then return to the Yang family?" ”

Granny Xia's eyes were smart, "The old man said that you would guess like this!" That's right, he's going to see you again, of course, the purpose is not to thank you, since he was really angry, it seems that he has more understanding, it should be a lot of incomprehensible places before, and I want to communicate with you about the new understanding in front of you! ”

"How about the third uncle and the fourth uncle? Is there a breakthrough in the realm? ”

Li Zhi's title is different from that of Granny Xia, and several of them are inherited with Yang Gaoyu's backup, which is different from Li Zhi's maverick identity: "The third uncle is currently in the early stage of the break, and before the two of us come, the fourth uncle is still in retreat!" The old man said, Shi Yuanye is the most precious heavenly essence and earth treasure in heaven and earth, and your role this time is too great. This time, the old man also wants to meet the three ladies! ”

Because Sun Simiao's identity cannot be known, all those who know the matter are replaced by old people or old men.

"It's like I'm about to go away, and when my business starts in the future, I have the opportunity to go to Yang's house to live for a while." Li Zhi was in a good mood.

"The old man is more than 140 years old." Pang Qi interrupted Li Zhi, "Even if he still has a lifespan of more than a hundred years, but full of maturity accumulated over the years and experience, the old man will also be extremely thoughtful, not like us like headless flies flying around!" ”

Old Wu Tou praised, "It's still Mrs. Qi'er's vision, the old man knows that the little marquis is in the stage of business development, and he has other responsibilities, so he won't expect you to be able to rush there in the near future!" But he said that after you get married, he will come again, although he can't accompany you to the south to explore the secrets of the four treasures of the study, but he will give you a list of some people, so that you don't have anything to target! ”

The two returned this time, bringing with them a dozen wagons, which were not known at the time, but even these carts and horses could only meet the needs of fruit transportation.

Second, fur and cashmere require a large number of carriages and horses, and the iron birch body is extremely heavy, and it is estimated that a carriage can only carry one plant.

Qingqi and his entourage have loaded two truckloads of fruit back today, and tomorrow all day, they will gather more people to go up the mountain, but they need to arrange another person in the Jiang County order, and the cutting of iron birch requires more strong labor.

In the stunned expressions of countless people, Li Zhi was relieved to realize that it was not only a murder weapon on the battlefield, but also a metal artwork with water and fire as pen and ink and steel as the drawing paper, with modern high-tech can not reflect the artistic effect and oriental beauty.

The blade is covered with a variety of patterns, has reached the highest realm of steel forgings with both rigidity and softness, and gorgeous appearance, and it cannot be said that its forging level surpasses the legendary Xuanyuan Sword and the peerless masterpiece like the Seven Star Longyuan, but this knife is completely from casting to the finished product, full of true qi and deeply immersed in it, that is, there are slight flaws, and it is also repaired by its vivid spirituality.

Moreover, the combination of the spiritual aura in the sword body and the true qi in Li Zhi's body will be another realm that surpasses any divine weapons and techniques.

After waiting for everyone to watch for a while, Li Zhicai stayed away from everyone and poured his true qi, as his mind and true qi flowed to the spiritual flow in the knife, there were several sharp intentions that burst out on the blade, and when it bloomed, it turned into a knife as strong as a real killing qi, making people feel that in the atmosphere of a few zhang on that side, the violent killing aura was piercing and cold, almost as if the space was about to be cut open.

Followed by the wave of his arm, the cold and murderous aura like a ghost spread rapidly, and the surrounding space seemed to appear as if there was a momentary time lag, and then it shattered like a mirror, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a transparent knife intent realm within a range.

The sword intent is the realm of the evolution of the sword, and it has the rhythm of life, once it turns from reality to virtuality, it will be like a small human heart, but it can hold the entire universe, and can give full play to the original characteristics of the edge.
