The Realm of the Body Chapter 44 Thousands of tempers to achieve truth
Qin Tian looked at the knife in his hand for a long time, and he felt dissatisfied, because he found that there were still too many flaws, too imperfect.
He's not satisfied, he's going to change it, and he can do better. And Qin Tian's idea was not just an idea, it was not just an imagination, he soon put it into action and continued to start smelting and building weapons.
He was already relatively proficient in the previous steps such as fire control, and this time there were no mistakes. Because the previous steps were simple, there was nothing profound, and he had already refined it twice, and he was not a stranger, so the chance of error was naturally infinitely small.
This time for refining, Qin Tian had a lot of ambitions. Because what he wants to try is to increase the difficulty of the Hundred Forging Method by several times, or even ten times the difficulty of the Thousand Forging Method!
On the surface, this method of thousand forgings is only a few hundred more beats than this method of hundred forging. But is it just as simple as it seems? Is it just a quantum accumulation that can complete a leap in quality?
Qin Tian didn't think so, he finally felt shallow on paper, and there were some things that he couldn't fully confirm. He knew it might not be that smooth, and maybe something would happen, but he still had to try.
Maybe it was an adventure for him, but it was also a very challenging operation, maybe he would fail in the end, but he didn't want to give up.
Failure is not scary, what is scary is the fear of failure.
Qin Tian didn't know what he would encounter in the process of forging weapons with this thousand forging method, but he was looking forward to this journey, and even if he failed in the end, he believed that he would benefit him a lot.
And after a lot of accumulation, he will eventually overcome all kinds of difficulties, truly control this method, and create a weapon that satisfies him.
Qin Tian's refining began again, and in the secret room, the sound of 'clanging' sounded one after another. In the previous rhythm, he still followed the beat of every ten beats, moving forward little by little.
This also allowed him to achieve the previous hundred forgings as he wished. He has been successful before, but this time, under his steady mind and strong will, there were no accidents, and the 100th was passed safely.
However, this thousand forgings, as the name suggests, must be struck at least a thousand times. And these 100 strokes are just the beginning, and it is too early to end.
Qin Tian was not in a hurry, he still maintained the previous rhythm, taking ten beats as a beat, and soon the second hundred strokes came. Qin Tian faintly felt something awkward, but he couldn't find the reason for a while. And after 200 hits, naturally you can't just give up, otherwise what you did before may be useless. So, he intends to stick to it.
'Jingle bell', another 100 hits. Qin Tian had already struck 300 times before and after. In other words, if he used the hundred forging method to build weapons, he would have completed three works.
But at this time, according to the progress of this thousand forging method, it is 1/3 of the appearance. There is still a long way to go. And in this process, Qin Tian's sense of awkwardness became even stronger.
But it's already 300 times, so you can't give up easily. And this is also the essence that he learned from that exercise, either in one go, in one go, or simply give up, the success will be lost, and the previous work will be lost.
Obviously, Qin Tian didn't want the latter, so he also gritted his teeth, strengthened his confidence, and made himself believe that it was just his own illusion, and still worked tirelessly and conscientiously wielding the hammer to beat the stubborn iron.
Soon the 400th stroke has passed, and Qin Tian has already rushed to the 500th stroke. This also gave him hope, and the halfway point of the build also showed that victory was in sight. Although the slightest bad premonition became stronger and stronger, Qin Tian just didn't want to give up.
Qin Tian belonged to the practical type, even if he felt that he was a little worse, he gritted his teeth and persevered, little by little, steadily advancing this progress.
After about 10 minutes, a rare smile appeared on Qin Tian's face, because he had insisted on hammering 900 times! This time, victory was really in sight.
"It's only the last 100 hits, come on!" Qin Tian also warned himself in his heart, cheering for himself.
But soon, Qin Tian's face changed slightly, and he noticed something unusual, this was not that bad premonition, it was so simple, but it really happened, it happened right in front of his eyes.
Although he still maintained the previous rhythm, hammer after hammer drop. But a mysterious feeling told him that this method of thousand forgings was afraid of failure.
After these 100 strokes, Qin Tian was calm, still maintaining the previous rhythm, and insisted on finishing the hammer.
Soon, Qin Tian stopped, but his face was not surprised, he just looked at the knife.
At least from the point of view of this appearance, it is much better than the hundred-forged weapon. When he tapped it with his hand, the sound that came back had a crisp feeling, and it was lighter and thinner than before.
Next, Qin Tian also tested according to the above two methods, to split ores, to cut monsters. The effect is a little stronger than the method of forging a hundred forgings.
However, Qin Tian shook his head in the end, dissatisfied. And now he has finally confirmed that his Thousand Forging Method has failed. He felt that the effect of the Thousand Forging Method had not been achieved, and although no one told him, he trusted his own judgment.
So where did this forging method fail, and what caused it?
If it's just a 1,000 stack in number, he's already satisfied. On the face of it, it's hard to spot the problem. Qin Tian thought about it for a long time, but still failed to find the crux of the problem.
In the end, Qin Tian appointed, "Okay, since it can't be explained according to the scientific method, let's do something metaphysical." ”
Then it occurred to him that during the building process, when 100 strokes, he had a faint subtle feeling that there was something wrong. And the further back you go, the stronger this feeling becomes. And when it comes to 900 hits, it's almost clear.
It's just that he didn't want to give up halfway, so he kept sticking to it and hit it with at least 1,000 hits. Based on this, Qin Tian thought about it, and finally had some eyebrows.
1000 taps, it's no problem. But if it's just a mechanical way to do it, it's pointless. If you hit 1,000 times according to a certain method, and smash 1,000 times in one pass, the effect will naturally be different.
He felt that what he had just done was like a mess, and he had lost some of the important things, so what was it?
"Rhythm, dynamics. Qin Tian thought about it for a while, and finally returned to these two points.
Because the first forging failed, it was because of the rhythm problem, the breathing problem. This process of building is a holistic act. How can it be started casually, carried out casually, and ended casually?
And the degree of strength, this is also the result of Qin Tian's in-depth thinking. Because he felt a little numb after just 900 strokes, the piece of stubborn iron he had built seemed to be dead, and he didn't give him any response. It can also be said that his last 100 strokes had no effect.
At this point, Qin Tian still frankly admits that he is not a person who cannot accept failure. What's more, it has only been a long time since I started to contact the refining weapon, and it is normal for something to go wrong.
Besides, with such a high enthusiasm, how could he be stumped by this little difficulty in front of him and give up?
Returning to the essence of the problem, Qin Tian had an idea, this time he wanted to change the rhythm of his breathing, and the corresponding strength of the tapping. In order to avoid the weakness of unresponsiveness in the later stage, he must increase this intensity, and maybe it can be effective.
After Qin Tian summed it up, he decided to do it again.
This time, Qin Tian decided to make a big change. Previously, every 10 strokes was a round, but now he plans to adjust to a round of 100 strokes.
If it is a mortal person, it is naturally very difficult to do, almost impossible. However, now that he is a cultivator, he is naturally not the same, so it is not difficult.
And he also decided to add three more layers to avoid the appearance of a subsequent powerless state.
When he struck the first blow, Qin Tian's strength increased by three layers compared to before.
'Bang', on the second occasion, Qin Tian collected his strength, only two layers more than the original. It's not that he's afraid of wasting his strength, it's that he has a subtle sense that this is enough, otherwise it might backfire and go too far.
Then the first 100 strokes of Qin Tian were completed relatively smoothly. But Qin Tian knew that this was just the beginning, and he continued to proceed calmly, the 200th and 300th ......
This time, Qin Tian didn't notice the awkwardness he had before, which made him feel a little relieved, which also proved that the judgment just now should be correct.
However, it may be a bit premature to draw conclusions about this matter at this time, after all, this is an overall refining process, and any problem in any link will lead to the failure of the entire refining.
The 700th, the 800th, everything is as usual.
On the 900th time, Qin Tian was happy and a little nervous. Because this last 100 strokes may also be the most critical.
As the old saying goes, those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety.
And his previous failures can also be said to be completely certain from the 900th, which is enough to show the importance of the last 100.
Qin Tian maintained a cautious mentality, tapping one after another according to the previous rhythm and strength.
And this time, the feeling that the stubborn iron he struck was also giving him a positive response, not as lifeless as before, which is a good state.
Soon, the last 100 strokes were coming to an end.
With a final 'bump', it was all over.
Qin Tian stared at his forging work with blazing eyes, and there was a hint of joy. This time it can be said that the form has changed greatly, and it is no longer the previous dark appearance. The blade of this knife revealed a trace of black light, as if it was much purer.
In fact, it is normal to think about it, this hundred forging, thousand forging, in fact, is essentially to remove the impurities in the ore, so that its blade is more flexible, sharper, more transparent, and pure.
It seems that this Thousand Forging is much better than the previous One Hundred Forging. What about whether it is useless or not? Qin Tian couldn't wait to start the test.
