Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Craft

"When, When......"

The hammer struck the material with a crisp sound, splashing sparks, and a sword tire slowly took shape on the anvil.

It was a long sword, six feet long, but it was very simple and ordinary, and it was basically undisguised - the blades were thin on both sides, the central spine was raised, the tip of the sword in front and the hilt in the rear.

The six-foot-long greatsword alone took up five feet and eight inches, and what remained was a two-finger-thick and two-inch long cylindrical hilt. There is no sword grid, and the sword head is just a simple small disc.

This is a magic sword, and it is also the formation weapon of the underground protective dark array of the Bow City-Earth Fire Dragon Soul Sword!

"Sting!"

A mist of water with a bloody breath steamed, and the sword tire held by an iron tong was stretched into a large sink next to it.

The liquid used for quenching in the sink is so bright red that it's like a big pool of blood!

At the bottom of the blood pool, there were still more than a dozen such magic swords. Almost all of them were the same, swirling near the hilt of the sword, sucking up the blood in the pool.

"Blood nourishment" is being carried out.

Bursts of bloody qi rose in the pool of blood, and suddenly transformed into a fierce beast shaped like a lion, raising its claws to make a pounce and raising its head to make a roar, and suddenly there was a "poof" sound, and it exploded in the blood.

Undoubtedly, the blood in this sink was diluted from the blood of the ancient beast.

This is a separate toolmaking room in the Bow Castle Workshop. In the room, there are furnaces, anvils, sinks, sledgehammers, tongs, and other tools. There is also an iron workbench over there, on which there are pliers, riveting, frustration, welding, carving, engraving and other tools, as well as measuring tools, drawing tools such as measuring tapes, calipers, wooden rules, and rectangular rulers.

It has been more than twenty days in a row, and Yang Peng has almost lived in this artifact room, and has been building the Earth Fire Dragon Soul Sword for the underground city protection dark array.

After all, it is the first time to build a weapon, and although there are weapons to guide you, there are successes and failures.

And it seems that the failures are much higher than the successes. Compare the large pile of waste products stacked horizontally and vertically in the corner of the wall with the dozen or so qualified products soaked in the blood tank, and you will understand.

Crafting weapons, especially magic weapons like the Earth Fire Dragon Soul Sword, is more complicated.

The first thing is to forge the material, which is not only a process of removing impurities in the material, but also a process of initially forming and straightening out the muscle, texture, texture and vein of the material.

After repeated forging, quenching, and tempering, the inside of the material is shaped and the tire is formed.

After the tire is formed, it is forged again. This forging is different from the previous ones, that is to make the muscles strong, the organic quality is high, the texture is continuous, and the veins are smooth...... In a word, this is like forging Yang Peng's body before, which is to form a good carcass.

With a good carcass, you can further condense the main qi veins, form side veins, side veins, tip veins, and even form dark veins, odd veins, etc.

Under normal circumstances, as soon as the main qi vein is formed, it can be "pointed".

That is, the center of the Spirit Valley that creates weapons - the Instrument Eye!

The soul soldiers and the weapons under them are all composed of different types of concentrating arrays. The general energy gathering array can only gather and absorb the aura of heaven and earth, while the gathering energy array in the eyes of this earth fire dragon soul sword weapon, the Fierce Dust Devouring Array, is mainly based on gathering and absorbing underground rock fire smoke and dust, and flame qi, which is obviously more advanced.

In short, the formation of the instrument eye requires some superficial knowledge of formation.

However, under normal circumstances, there are drawings of the gathering array in advance, and it is not very troublesome to draw the tiger according to the cat.

Like the Fierce Dust Devouring Array, it was drawn by Yang Peng under the guidance of the instrument Weng himself, and then brought to the king artifact master.

Finally, it's the real "point position". This is the last and most crucial step in building a magic sword like the Earth Fire Dragon Soul Sword.

It is to use the "point hammer" hammer method to activate the energy array, and the weapon will instantly rush the "qi" in the energy array to the qi veins of the weapon, giving the weapon the first impetus for the flow of qi veins.

The steps are simple and seem to be a step-by-step process. But it's not easy to really build, especially for Yang Peng, a novice.

But fortunately, after more than 20 days of "actual combat" training, Yang Peng has become a little more proficient and more handy.

And there are quite a lot of centers in it.

Yang Peng's perception is already very strong, with more than three years of accumulation, with the guidance of the instrument, and now there is the actual practice of making instruments, it is naturally making rapid progress, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "changing with each passing day".

Of course, building the Earth Fire Dragon Soul Sword is only the first step in Yang Peng's weapon-making career, and he still has a long and difficult road ahead.

On that day, Yang Peng led the Calamity Gang to the door of the Xiao and Kuang clans to ask for wages, and finally defeated the Xiao family's thousand-mile horse, Xiao Nai, and destroyed his Blood Rainbow Sword and captured his internal spirit refining.

But it was only fifteen elixirs.

It's still a lot short of the total of 52 plants of the two families.

In the end, under the guidance of Xiahou Yun, Tong Ao, Yang Tianhao, Leng Yanyu, Chang Feng and others, Xiao Zhenshan and Kuang Yin finally agreed to take one month as a deadline, and they would use the strength of the whole clan to gather the remaining elixir.

Xiao and Kuang swore by each other, but Yang Peng knew that he would definitely have to work hard when the time came.

Elixir, for all the clans in Bow City, it is a treasure that creates children and prospers the clan. In this regard, even if it is a reputation for "defaulting on debts".

Not to mention that everyone knows that this is a forced apportionment by the City Lord's Mansion.

They are also very innocent.

However, Yang Peng didn't expect to come back completely, the reason why he went to make trouble was mainly to teach Xiao Zhenshan and Kuang Yin, the wolves of the Bow City, and kill the geniuses of their clans, the goal has been achieved.

Fifteen elixirs were in hand, and Yang Peng casually gave ten to the royal weapon.

The last time he was in the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the royal artifact helped and lifted him a lot. I didn't ask for a drop of the bottle of ancient beast blood, and gave him a beast soul Bodhi.

This time, when it comes to "wages", Yang Peng will naturally not swallow it alone.

Of the five plants he left, three were scraped off by the instrument, saying that he was repaying the debt of the "kick to the sky".

The remaining two plants were given to Leng Qingyun and Chang Ge one each.

These two followed him from birth to death, and Yang Peng would not treat them badly even if he didn't want to.

In this way, he is still penniless.

It's not all, there are hundreds of spirit plates in Xiao Nai's space ring, and there are also some low-level combat skills of Tianlu Sect, Gathering Energy Beads, mortal soldiers, Tianlu Sect's waist cards and other useless or useless "rags", which can be regarded as the trophies of his big trouble in Bow City this time.

Of course, the biggest gain was that he broke through the bottleneck that had plagued him for many years, and successfully incubated and infused his soul with the spirit refining in his body, becoming a refiner of the soul infusion realm.

"Dangdang!"

Yang Peng flicked his fingers on the spine of the sword fetus, and the crisp metallic sound was followed by a "buzzing" trill, and then the aftersound lingered, and finally disappeared completely.

He listened carefully and added his own soul power to sense. Distinguish the quality of the muscles and organs from the sound of "dang, dang", distinguish the texture and the smoothness and stagnation of the main vein from the vibrato of "hum and hum", and distinguish the accessibility and extension of the side vein and the tip vein from the lingering sound......

The point is to check the whole vessel for dead knots, blockages, and even dark diseases.

After listening for a while, he shook his head, and threw the sword in his hand into the scrap heap.

After many days of forging and making weapons, he understood that the requirements for the veins of the Fire Dragon Soul Sword were extremely high, especially the main vein that ran through the spine of the sword, which required the veins to be wide and thick, without the slightest siltation, and at the same time, the eyes of the weapon should be as close to the sword shoulder as possible.

In principle, if the eye appears below the center of the spine, it is considered a scrap.

It's not to prevent someone from "clicking the warehouse" and clicking on the eye, but because the first consideration of the underground city protection array is to defend against the attack of the demon clan's "Hidden Army" composed of Hidden Spring Beasts.

Those demon beasts are covered with scales and armor, and their defense is extremely strong.

Most of the time, you will need to pierce the scales with a stabbing technique. But apparently it wasn't enough to cut through or pierce the scale armor. It is necessary to cut deep and pierce in order to destroy the organs of the beast to the greatest extent and kill it completely.

In this way, if the eye is too close to the tip of the sword, it is easily damaged, and it is injured by bursting scales, bone stubble, and even bursts of blood.

Once the eye is damaged, the sword is useless.

Also, when this Earth Fire Dragon Soul Sword was quenched, it was tempered with blood water dripping with the blood of the Ancient Beast, in order to give birth to a weapon soul in each sword in the future.

This requires that not only the main veins are broad and thick, but also some branch veins and side veins also need to be created and dredged when they are built.

In this way, the time for soul accumulation can be reduced, and the soul bred is also extremely powerful!

Of course, the requirements are not only these, such as the density of the weapon, the smoothness of the surface, and even the curvature of the sword shoulder, the sharpness of the sword tip, the strength of the flank, and so on. The drawings given by the instrument were already strict, but Yang Peng kept improving in the construction and raised some requirements for himself.

This made him a little slower to build, and the scrap rate was higher.

Trolling Bow City is his home, he grew up here, and his clansmen also live in Trolling Bow City, Yang Peng built a formation weapon for Trolling Bow City, just like building it for his own home, naturally it is extremely demanding and unwilling to fool!

"Bang dang!"

The wooden door was kicked open from the outside, and the master walked in with his hands behind his back.

He saw that another sword fetus was sentenced to "death" by Yang Peng, so he stepped forward and bent down to pick up the sword fetus, "Dangdang!" also popped out his fingers and listened carefully.

"This sword fetus ......"

"On the right side of the sword's spine, near the blade, there is a small blockage. Yang Peng replied.

"It's not big, it's smaller than a mung bean grain, it shouldn't affect anything. ”

"It will affect the blade of the sword body. ”

Striker, the term of the weaponmaker, refers to the sharp edge of the weapon under the urging of the strength or mana in the weapon.

For example, the blood-colored sword light that appeared when Xiao Nai's blood rainbow sword slashed out.

If there is a blockage in the same position, then when the blood-colored sword light is urged out, it will not be a complete fan shape, and there will be a large gap in the middle.

Yang Peng raised his head and looked at the king artifact master with a pair of bloodshot eyes: "What a thousand miles of error!"
