Chapter 152: Soul Sharpening
Because of the existence of Xiao Jiu, the lot that Zongtian got was directly erased as a fraction of the Horcrux, and this also made him regret a little at this time, why didn't he buy more at that time. However, this kind of emotion is no match for the sorrow of leaving, and I don't know if it is because this mountain city is the first stop on the journey to the sky, and the familiar environment actually gives him a little illusion of home. Although nominally this city owes him a favor, of course, it is the one who owes Yang Ling the majority, but when he was about to leave, a little reluctance made Zongtian have some urge to stay.
It was precisely through this emotion that Zongtian also visited the swordsmith of Yamanaka Castle for the sake of that sword pattern. Although the mountain castle has some meaning of decline at this time, as a former big city, the swordsmiths in this city still have good strength.
Regarding the production of weapons here, Zongtian has already learned something from the empty mouth. Compared to the forging sword of the soul plane, the process of making the soul blade in the real world is a little more magical. The sword casting here is like the craftsmanship of the ancient times in the real world, and the meaning of striking iron has become much simpler here.
At this time, Zongtian was in such a shop for making weapons, and because of the previous crisis, this once deserted shop was also booming for a while. However, because of the relationship between Zongtian, the business of the shop at this time has plummeted again.
"Hahaha, I wish I didn't have any business!"
Just when Zongtian noticed such a fact and apologized, the strong man in front of him laughed heroically. How could it not be cared for? Hearing those words, Zongtian naturally felt that they were just polite words.
"It's true." As if seeing something from Zongtian's expression, the strong man said seriously, "Although business will push me to move faster, what I really want is more freedom to make weapons." ”
"However, if it's just a hobby, then life ......" understands the other party's obsession with weapons, but it doesn't seem to be a very realistic thing.
"What is so hard to sustain in the life of the soul? Even if I wanted to make weapons, I would naturally do it at night to support my life. ”
Hearing this, Zong Tian remembered the difference between man and soul. It's so similar, Zongtian seems to have unconsciously regarded those people as his own kind. However, at this time, Zongtian seems to be more like a soul than a human, although he still likes to use human standards, but it is just a habit that will change.
"You're worried about the raw materials, right?" This time, the strong man misunderstood Zongtian's changing expression, but his next words also solved the question that Zongtian should have, "Don't look at me that I only run such a small shop now, but when the mountain city was glorious, my Jingtang was also the best swordsmith in the neighborhood, so even if I only rely on my savings, I can squander some time." ”
Although Jing Tang in front of him was a little boastful, this kind of cheerfulness did not make Zongtian feel any unpleasantness, and his focus was just to explain his ideals.
"So what do you want me to do? Is it to build weapons? ”
"Yes, but no." The reason why I say this is naturally because the purpose of the sky is not the weapon itself.
"What do you mean?"
"I mainly want to see the process of making weapons on the soul plane."
"Process?" For such a request, Jingtang is still the first time to encounter,
"Yes, and I have a sword mark for you to see." While saying this, Zongtian took out the thin piece of paper from his arms, but just as Zongtian was about to unfold, Jingtang stopped Zongtian's movements at this time.
"You don't have to take it out." Jing Tang's tone seemed to have changed slightly, "As a swordsmith in Mountain City, how could I not have been firm in that sword pattern. But it's useless, it's not something that people of my level can understand. ”
"But since you want to see the process of forging swords in the soul plane, then you must know something about the production of soul blades in your world, right?" Different from the sudden dullness just now, Jingtang at this time was suddenly full of anticipation, and Zongtian's slight nodding also made his mood feel better.
With such a good mood, Jingtang also showed Zongtian his skills in detail. The process of smelting was directly ignored, Jing Tang started directly from the iron, and looking at the soul iron that kept changing in the rhythmic beating, Zongtian also found some novel feelings. However, after all, the retro production process is just for Zongtian to taste, and the inscription about the sword pattern really opened Zongtian's eyes.
It's not some kind of delicate carving as imagined, after Jingtang created the knife embryo, he just sat on the ground with the embryo in his hand. Just as Zongtian wondered what he was doing, there was a strange sound, and the blade, which was still very rough, began to change. Not only did I feel like I had been polished, but some complex lines gradually appeared on the knife body.
Although whether it is striking iron or the strange behavior at this time, it is a bit lengthy in the eyes of ordinary people, but Zongtian can watch it with relish. Probably this is also inherited from his father, who was a little obsessed with weapons, and some things related to blood are sometimes really hard to say. From sunrise to sunset, Zongtian stayed in this small shop for a whole day, and Jingtang's work finally came to an end at this time.
"How?" After carefully inspecting it himself, Jing Tang handed the beaten knife to Zongtian.
took over the blade that had become shiny, and Zongtian's heart was also hot. It was precisely because he had received special training from the soul master that he already had some judgments about the quality of this knife at this first glance. After that, Zongtian gently waved the blade in his hand again, and when the soul energy naturally flowed through the blade, Zongtian also found that those soul energies actually flowed directly through the sword patterns engraved on the knife body, and a powerful force also made the knife swing faster.
"How? This is the basic powerful sword pattern. ”
After listening to Jingtang's introduction, Zongtian also gently stroked the delicate lines with his hands. Although this kind of sword pattern is not as magical as the runes made by the soul master, such a fast production cycle seems to give it more market.
Although Zongtian had been trained as a soul master, in that short period of time, how could he grow into a figure that could rival his father. However, because of Zongtian's innate talent, what he could do after that kind of training was also stronger than ordinary soul blade makers.
According to the crafting process of the soul blade, the general step is to use the flame to stimulate the activity of the material, then defeat the dead soul to make the soul blade easier to use by the wielder, and finally the general process of crafting it into a weapon. However, as a soul master, the falling star naturally does not take such a mediocre route, especially for some mutated soul irons, the soul blades are basically formed in one piece at the moment when the dead soul is destroyed.
And after training, although Zongtian is not yet able to do his father's level, but with his skills, the half-finished knife embryo can still appear when the dead soul dies. The reason why Zongtian's heart is hot is because of this, this process of grinding and carving the knife embryo is like tailor-made for him.
However, although I would like to ask Jing Tang directly how he did it, politeness is also a very important thing at this time. Just like his interest in sword patterns, Jing Tang also has a great interest in the soul blade in the real world, and the materials that have been placed aside a long time ago are also held in Zongtian's left hand.
Finally, it was Zongtian's turn to demonstrate, and the white blade behind him was slowly pulled out by him. With the movement of drawing, a little green flame suddenly jumped on the tip of the knife. Although the flame was only a small one, it still raised the temperature of the room where the metal had been smelted a little. Such a vision did not scare Jing Tang away, on the contrary, a fire called fanaticism ignited in his eyes.
The tip of the flaming blade was lit on the soul iron, and the dead soul appeared in the room as it should. Looking at the mighty lion in front of him, Zongtian was also a little helpless at this time, even if it was this kind of soul iron used for experiments, it could be called a middle-to-upper-grade quality in the real world. However, Zongtian, who was already a lot stronger, naturally had no fear at this time, and after testing the strength of the dead soul a little, Zongtian also quickly solved it, and a knife embryo similar to just now also fell to the ground.
"This, this, this, this ......" It seemed that Zongtian didn't expect that Zongtian could complete the knife embryo so quickly, and Jing Tang opened his mouth wide at this time.
"You don't have to be so weird." Seeing Jing Tang's expression, Zong Tian couldn't help but smile. If he is also the kind of character who is very aggressive, then he should also behave like this when he sees Jing Tang dealing with the knife embryo.
"Why don't you wonder?!" Jing Tang continued his roughness at this time, "It's amazing, isn't it?" How, exactly? ”
"I think the way you handled the knife embryo just now can be called magical." Such a compliment was completely heartfelt, but Jing Tang showed a strange expression at this time.
"Isn't soul forging the basic skill of a swordsmith?"
Finally, at this time, the name of the technology was known, and the two began to discuss the technology. From sunset to sunrise, after the two talked all night, they also had a lot of understanding of what the other party had mastered, and an idea was also formed in Zongtian's mind.
