In the casting room, the furnace was blazing, as if it could burn everything to ashes, and the red fire shone brightly, blazing hot.

"The four keys to striking iron are the basics, you have mastered them all, and in this regard, Lao Tzu has nothing to teach you. ”

"But if you want to forge a sword, it is not enough to rely on the four keys to striking iron, and now, Lao Tzu will teach you a better casting technique - four changes and five hammers. ”

After explaining the steps of forging a sword to Chen Zong, Elder Lie began to teach the Four Transformations and Five Hammer Technique.

The so-called four changes and five hammers are a more intelligent forging technique that extends from the four keys to striking iron, and the four changes are the in-depth skills of the four keys to striking iron, and the five hammers are five kinds of techniques for wielding the hammer.

Light, heavy, urgent, and slow are four changes.

Positive, virtual, pressing, pressing, and grinding are five hammers.

Combining the four changes with the five hammers is the four changes and five hammers.

As soon as Elder Lie taught, Chen Zong learned very quickly, in fact, in the previous two or three months, in addition to teaching Chen Zong the four keys of iron beating, Elder Lie also unknowingly taught the five hammers to Chen Zong piecemeal.

"Okay, now that you have preliminarily mastered the Four Transformations and Five Hammer Technique, you will immediately cast a sword for Lao Tzu to see. Elder Lie said unceremoniously.

Chen Zong had already been accustomed to Elder Lie's way of speaking, and he didn't care.

Casting a sword is different from forging iron, forging iron is to burn the crude iron with a fierce fire until it is red and soft and then hammered repeatedly, while casting a sword is to calcinate and melt the iron into molten iron with a blazing fire, inject it into the model and solidify it into a primordial embryo, and then gradually take shape after repeated beating, and finally quench and then open the front, and a sword is made.

The iron had already melted into molten iron, and under Chen Zong's operation, it was injected into the long sword model, and the molten iron was red and shiny, as if it were magma, emitting a terrible high temperature, making Chen Zong sweat and drenched.

His eyes stared at the molten iron in the sword mold, watching it cool down little by little and solidify little by little, and at about the same time, Chen Zong took it out and put it on the anvil, grabbed the hundred-catty iron hammer with his right hand, raised it high, and then hammered it down violently.

The positive of the five hammers is to hold the hammer in the hand, which is the most commonly used method of holding the hammer.

Virtual, is a little hold, not too hard, raise the hammer down, it seems ferocious, but in fact it is slight, and it will vibrate gently.

Pressing, that is, after the hammer falls, do not let the hammer bounce, but use a second force to press the hammer on the sword embryo.

pressure, which is pressed to strengthen.

Grinding is to press the hammer on the sword embryo and rub it up and down for a short distance.

Elder Lie watched from the side and nodded secretly, Chen Zong This is the first time to forge a sword, although it is a little rusty, but the overall performance is quite good, especially his basic skills are very solid, and his mastery and application of strength are even more unique.

Under repeated beating, the sword embryo was formed, and it was completely solidified, and then it was useless to beat and quenched.

The quenching is made of cold spring water, and it takes a lot of experience to grasp the timing and angle.

In terms of eyesight, Chen Zong is not bad, and in terms of feeling, Chen Zong is not bad, what he is poor is experience, so in the eyes of Elder Lie, this quenching is very ordinary.

"This is the sword I forged with my own hands?" Chen Zong picked up the sword from the cold spring water, and looked at it carefully, the sword body was a little uneven, and it was not straight enough, and it looked crooked, almost like a burning stick.

"It's too much worse and we need to keep working on it. Elder Lie glanced at it and scolded directly, did he dare to say that the sword he forged for the first time at that time was not even as good as a burning stick?

After that, Chen Zong no longer forged fine iron blocks, but instead forged swords.

The task given to him by Elder Lie was to forge at least ten mortal iron swords this month, and he could get two hundred contribution points.

Leaving the foundry, Chen Zong recalled every detail of the sword.

"How to understand the sword by forging the sword?"

Obviously, sword casting and sword training are two different things, so what is the relationship between the two?

Chen Zong doesn't know yet, but he will look for answers.

In a blink of an eye, ten days had passed, and Chen Zong had cast a mortal iron sword every day, but every time it was unsatisfactory.

Molten iron is injected into the sword mold, taken out, hammered, and the sword embryo is formed and quenched.

A sneering sound sounded, the water vapor turned into a white mist, and when the quenching was completed, Chen Zong took out the sword and looked at it carefully.

The blade was straight, even, and smooth, a little better than the first mortal iron sword he used.

"It worked. Chen Zong wiped the sweat from his face and smiled sincerely.

After the success of forging the sword, Chen Zong suddenly had a deeper understanding of the sword, because every step of the formation of the sword was under his control.

"Next, it's the striker. ”

To open the blade is to sharpen the blade of the sword and make it sharp, which is a real sword, not an ornamental object.

Kaifeng also pays attention to skill, and if he sharpens it indiscriminately, he will only destroy a sword.

After the opening was completed, Chen Zong's fingers lightly touched the blade of the sword, felt the sharpness in it, and smiled again, suddenly, he swung the sword like a rhino in his heart, and the power of qi and blood surged, and it exploded in a unique way.

The sword light slashed out, and the four sword lights were extremely clear, and next to them, four very vague sword lights were born.

"Good. Chen Zong hurriedly put down the Fan Iron Sword, and before he had time to tidy it up, he picked up the Iron Sword and quickly left the foundry.

The success of forging the sword made him have a more intuitive understanding of the sword, and in this way, his understanding of swordsmanship was also invisibly improved, although he was still a little confused, but it did not prevent the splitting glimpse from breaking through.

The foundry was not a place for sword practice, with that feeling, Chen Zong galloped like a horse, extremely fast, ran to the corner of the martial arts training ground, drew his sword, grasped that feeling, and immediately cultivated.

Over and over again, four blurred sword lights slowly became clear.

After fifteen times, his qi and blood were exhausted, and Chen Zong had to recover, and after recovering, he continued to practice his sword.

Over and over again, as if I didn't know to be tired, until the sun went down in the west, and the moon quietly rose into the sky.

"Snapshots!"

A sword slashed out again, and eight clear sword lights slashed forward, carefully distinguishing, four of them were extremely clear and bright, and the other four were relatively dim.

"Spectively, I have finally cultivated to the realm of Dacheng. Chen Zong exhaled, sweating, his stomach was even more hungry, and he hurriedly took out an energy pill and took it, and then went to the dining hall.

"The glimpse of the Dacheng realm, it consumes one-fifth of my qi and blood power when it is used once, and if it reaches the peak of Dacheng, I am afraid that it will be more. ”

Although the consumption of qi and blood power has increased, the power of the Dacheng Realm is indeed much better than that of Xiaocheng's peak.

Practicing swords, forging swords, and practicing exercises.

Chen Zong can feel his progress every day.

It's just that the realm of true secrets is still clueless, and the eight styles of the true sword are still at the peak of perfection and have never broken through.

December 28, 395 in the Zhenwu calendar.

At the end of another year, Fengwu City is located in the eastern part of the Eastern Continent, and the changes in the four seasons are not so strong, but in such a cold winter, the cold wind blows, and it is still cold.

In a corner of the martial arts training field, Chen Zong took out his sword, the sharp sword light was dazzling, tearing the cold wind, splitting into eight, and rushing away.

With another sword, the eight sword lights lined up back and forth, slashing at the same place in turn, as if cutting the space, leaving a clear sword mark, and it took several breaths to disappear.

After exhausting the power of his qi and blood, Chen Zong cultivated the Fierce Tiger Gong.

Qi and blood are like tigers, violently impacting between operations, a powerful fearless momentum gathers in the body, and the power of qi and blood also accelerates recovery.

When the power of qi and blood was fully recovered, Chen Zong also felt the inside of his body vibrate, as if a tiger's roar resounded through the mountains and forests, roaring and shocking the world, and the power of qi and blood vibrated violently.

"This is ......" After the power of qi and blood calmed down, Chen Zong felt it carefully, and suddenly showed a face full of joy: "The first practice of the Fierce Tiger Skill has been completed?"

The Fierce Tiger Gong is a human-level middle-grade exercise, which is divided into three layers, and if you practice the first level, you can cultivate all the way to the seventh layer of the Qi and Blood Realm, and if you practice the second level, you can cultivate all the way to the eighth layer of the Qi and Blood Realm, and if you practice the third level, you can cultivate all the way to the ninth layer of the Qi and Blood Realm.

It's just that the cultivation difficulty of the exercises is often higher than that of the same level of martial arts, and many of the children in the clan hall have not yet practiced the first level, let alone the second level, and as for the entire Chen family, there are only a few people who can practice all the three levels of the Fierce Tiger Gong.

The higher the cultivation level of the exercises, not only the higher the upper limit of the cultivation that can be achieved, but also the increase in the cultivation speed and the recovery speed of the power of qi and blood.

"The second level of the Fierce Tiger Gong requires five hundred contribution points, and now I have exceeded it. ”

With a secret sound, Chen Zong immediately set off and headed for the Zangwu Tower.

"The martial arts on the second and third floors of the Tibetan Martial Arts Building, only have the name and introduction, and there is no detailed content, if you choose well, come and tell me. The administrator of the Tibetan Martial Arts Building said to Chen Zong.

This practice is to prevent people from entering the second and third floors of the Tibetan Martial Arts Building and recording more martial arts by some means.

"I choose the second level of the Fierce Tiger Gong. Chen Zong said.

Since this is the case, there is no need to enter the second layer at this time.

"Chen Zong, deduct five hundred contribution points. Then, the administrator took out a silk book and handed it to Chen Zong: "This is the second level of the Fierce Tiger Gong, and it must be returned within ten days." ”

The second weight of the Fierce Tiger Gong is much more profound than the first weight, but it is based on the first weight, but some additions and changes have been made in the operation of qi and blood to make it more efficient.

However, if you directly cultivate the second level, it will be more difficult because the first level is lacking as a foundation.

Chen Zong quickly replaced the first weight with the second weight's operation method, and immediately felt that the recovery speed of qi and blood after consumption was faster, almost fifty percent, that is to say, continuing to cultivate, he also grasped that compared with the first weight, the cultivation speed of the second weight had also increased by fifty percent.

In other words, the second weight of the human-level mid-grade Fierce Tiger Gong is comparable to the first weight of the human-level high-grade martial arts in terms of cultivation speed and recovery speed.

Moreover, Chen Zong could also feel that with the second weight of the Fierce Tiger Gong to stimulate the power of qi and blood, the qi and blood were like a tiger, and its momentum was a few points better than the first weight.

"My cultivation is not far from the fifth layer of the Qi and Blood Realm, with the second layer, the cultivation speed will be accelerated, perhaps, within two months, I will be able to reach the fifth layer. Chen Zong said secretly, more motivated.
