Chapter 34: Casting and Cultivation
"The flames in the furnace burned the metal red, but when he left the furnace and put it on the casting table, he was cooled. When you are forging, how can you remove his impurities?" Xia Fanchen glanced at the metal piece and directly pointed out the problem.
The red-haired old man also nodded slowly, his eyes lit up, and he understood a lot. These problems are all small problems on weekdays, and it is these small problems that hinder his development.
"Thank you, little brother, for telling me so much, is there any way to solve it if the calcination is not thorough?" The red-haired old man asked very humbly, and he also believed that he would definitely learn a lot with Xia Fanchen.
Now he has no idea of accepting Xia Fanchen as an apprentice at all, if he still makes such a request now, it will really be a joke.
Xia Fanchen has already instructed him so much, it's good that he doesn't worship Xia Fanchen as a teacher.
"It's very simple, use the flame of your own body to calcine him, so that he can be calcined very thoroughly. Xia Fanchen said very calmly. These are just the basic theories of a caster, and as a third-level caster, he doesn't know this, which can be seen how low the casting skills of this world are.
Anyway, Xia Fanchen told him this, and there was no loss to himself, since the other party had already seen that he was the ultimate fire. It is also logical to know the theory of these casting techniques.
"What kind of body fire?" the red-haired old man asked.
"Yes, it's with the fire in your own body. I believe that as a caster, your fire attribute should be very strong. You don't have to think about the balance of the five elements right now, as a forger, the flame is dominant. Xia Fanchen continued to explain, since he wanted to point to the other party, he had to guide thoroughly.
After saying this, Xia Fanchen picked up a piece of metal and put it into the furnace very skillfully, and it soon turned red.
Before the red-haired old man could react, Xia Fanchen's flames wrapped around the metal block and quickly transferred to the casting table. The pitch-black hammer appeared in Xia Fanchen's hand, holding the handle of the seven-point hammer, hammering continuously.
With each of his strikes, sparks of metal pieces flew and a large amount of impurities were expelled. Although the force of each blow he now is not as strong as that of the red-haired old man, the impurities discharged in this way are no less than those of the red-haired old man.
The red-haired old man looked at Xia Fanchen's operation, and his eyes were almost straight, and the effect of such an operation was much stronger than his own. If Xia Fanchen had such strength as himself, a few hammers would make this piece of metal pure.
"Talent, talent. Originally, I thought that I was the strongest caster of Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect, but now compared to him, I am really not enough. The red-haired old man thought to himself. For Xia Fanchen's performance, he can only admire. Even if his strength is stronger than Xia Fanchen now, what if he is not a little worse than Xia Fanchen in terms of the attainment of casting techniques.
Soon, Xia Fanchen completed the casting, and he also put his casting hammer in. Then he slowly said to the red-haired old man, "Now do you understand, if you use your own flame to control the metal block, your casting level will definitely improve." When the time comes, it is not impossible to become a fourth-level foundry. ”
After completing this, Xia Fanchen walked to the other side of the furnace and began to continue cultivating.
He had already given enough guidance to the red-haired old man now, and he could leave the rest to the red-haired old man himself. And the primary purpose of his coming to the Inner Courtyard Forge was to cultivate.
His cultivation in the casting technique has not yet reached the time, what he needs now is to improve his cultivation, only when his cultivation is up, can he use greater strength.
However, the iron was just beaten for a while, which made Xia Fanchen feel secretly refreshed in his heart, he hadn't cast for a long time, and this casting was also the first casting he had come to this world.
His casting ability has not decreased at all, but his current cultivation has restrained him, making him completely unable to exert himself.
The Burning Sky Fire Technique was constantly running, and Xia Fanchen began to continuously absorb the energy in the furnace, allowing his cultivation to continue to improve. After the rest just now, the energy in the furnace recovered again, making Xia Fanchen more comfortable absorbing it.
As for the red-haired old man, he won't bother Xia Fanchen now, just the little thing that Xia Fanchen taught him just now is enough for him to be in the dark for a long time.
He picked up the metal block again and began to follow Xia Fanchen's example. Just now, Xia Fanchen had already told him with his actions that that way was absolutely feasible.
It took almost a day for the red-haired old man to reluctantly wrap the metal block with the flames in his body. At this time, he also had to admire Xia Fanchen's power.
It was also from this moment that the red-haired old man did not regard Xia Fanchen as a junior, and he was already completely regarded as a peer. If Xia Fanchen's cultivation was a little higher than him, he really had the urge to worship Xia Fanchen as a teacher.
"Bell!"
When the red-haired old man hammered down for the first time, he was completely shocked, in such a way, with his own strength, there would be such an effect. With a simple hammer, the impurities of this metal block were reduced by one-tenth.
This alone made the red-haired old man excited. You know, as a foundry, refining metals is a lesson that must be learned. In the past, when I refined the metal block in my own way, it took about a hundred hammers. And now in Xia Fanchen's way, a dozen hammers can be almost solved.
The speed of refining has increased, which has greatly improved his level, and if he improves a little more in other aspects, he can really become a fourth-level caster.
The red-haired old man was also constantly practicing at this time, he didn't ask for anything else, he just wanted him to be able to reach the level of Xia Fanchen, and he was satisfied. It's a pity that Xia Fanchen's movements are so skillful, it is almost impossible for the red-haired old man to reach that level.
In the end, the red-haired old man had no choice but to give up. Anyway, this time he was very satisfied. solved the two problems that plagued him at once, which made him grateful to Xia Fanchen.
Originally, Xia Fanchen came to the foundry in the inner courtyard to serve him. And after yesterday's episode, the red-haired old man also decided to serve Xia Fanchen and let Xia Fanchen cultivate.
This is also the red-haired old man's reciprocal gratitude for Xia Fanchen's guidance to him.
Although Xia Fanchen didn't say anything, he still understood it very well in his heart. He also remembered the kindness of the red-haired old man to him, and he originally wanted to guide the red-haired old man. It's just that his system is different from that of ordinary foundries, and if he guides too much, he will mislead the other party.
Because in this world, there are not many people who have a single fire attribute with him.
The red-haired old man also knew very well in his heart that what Xia Fanchen had instructed him just now, he could use it for a lifetime. He didn't ask Xia Fanchen to give him much more guidance, after all, Xia Fanchen's cultivation was still very weak now, and he thought that Xia Fanchen might only know a little bit about it.
Seven days later, Xia Fanchen also breathed a sigh of relief again and slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing that Xia Fanchen woke up, the red-haired old man also stopped his work, and said to Xia Fanchen very politely: "Little brother, your speed is really fast." In such a short period of time, he was actually promoted again. It seems that this furnace really has a unique benefit to you, if we absorb it like you, it will be out of balance a long time ago. ”
Regarding Xia Fanchen's progress speed, the red-haired old man can only describe it in a speechless way. He never thought that this Xia Fanchen's progress would be so fast. In just seven days, he has been promoted to the third level in a row, and his cultivation has reached the third level of the void.
"This is still thanks to the seniors for taking care of me, if it weren't for the seniors taking care of me, I wouldn't have such a fast speed. After getting along with the red-haired old man for so many days, Xia Fanchen also had a good impression of this old thing. The meticulous care in the past few days has made him quite moved.
Although the fat man also took care of him in this way, this feeling was different, as if the red-haired old man took care of him a little sweeter.
"Don't say that, in the past few days, my casting skills have also improved a lot, and I still have to thank you, little brother, for these. If the little brother asks for anything, just say it. The red-haired old man was also busy waving his hands, and he thought that what he had done was his duty. If he didn't help Xia Fanchen now, he would be ashamed in his heart.
Xia Fanchen was not the slightest polite, and began to eat the things prepared for him by the red-haired old man in the room. Although this taste is not very good, it is also made by the red-haired old man with his heart, and Xia Fanchen can only enjoy it. Originally, cultivation was a very boring thing, and there was nothing particular about food at all.
After eating, Xia Fanchen looked at the casting of the red-haired old man again, and then plunged into cultivation again.
Now for him Xia Fanchen, only by letting his cultivation go up, can he study the casting technique well. If he went to practice the art of casting now, it would be a thankless task.
The energy of the entire furnace fluctuated again with Xia Fanchen's cultivation, and after entering the third layer of the void, Xia Fanchen absorbed the energy, and became very crazy. The absorption of the absorption almost made the red-haired old man curse on the side.
Because after Xia Fanchen joined the cultivation, the temperature of the furnace dropped significantly. And all those huge energies were absorbed by Xia Fanchen. This can also be seen how terrifying Xia Fanchen's progress is.
